Chapter 38: So who is Mama?!

[Spring’s piano concert was amazing]

It was awesome.

Honestly, I liked Spring’s song the most.

These days, when VTubers sing, they all shout high notes, so my ears hurt, but she just spits out roughly, but her voice is crazy…

She’s also good at playing the piano, so I’m listening to the full video of Spring’s concert on YouTube as work music.

If you haven’t seen it, be sure to watch it again. This is epic.

I got goosebumps while watching live…

These are the people who really sing well.

The piano playing was so natural that it felt like watching a concert…

Cosmo Live should immediately upload an edited version of Spring’s broadcast.

Why isn’t the video on YouTube Music??

[It’s not just Spring…]

‘Seasons’ sisters’ Mama’ << This person is the real GOAT.

During Winter’s debut concert, the stage production was amazing, but this time, making a piano in virtual reality is just ridiculous. I was amazed to see the fingers pressing the keys and the actual sound playing.

I heard that that person is almost in charge of Seasons’ content?

So that person called Mama carves avatars, carves pianos, sets up the stage, produces videos, and does everything?

Damn it! Cosmo Live! Did you really hire an alien!!

[So who is Mama?!]

It seems like a really amazing person when the Seasons kids find Mama for everything when they broadcast.

Even this person, made Han Ari’s avatar??

Doesn’t she appear on any broadcasts? If she’s this capable, she should be known, so why is there no information?

I bet Cosmo Live kidnapped her and is making her make avatars while only giving her fried dumplings.

Honestly, to produce that quality, you have to stay in your room and just tap on the computer.

Cosmo Live… Release… Mama…

But it’s more strange that there are no rumors about who she is. There’s no official announcement either.

If it’s Youngjun’s words, it’s almost official.

There’s no information other than that it’s the same person as Han Ari’s Mama.

No! So! Who! Is! That! Mama!!!

It wasn’t just the viewers who were interested in the unknown ‘Seasons’ Mama’.

VTubers, and people in the internet broadcasting industry.

They were even more interested.

They’re really desperate to contact her even once.

“I wonder how many emails have come today…”

Youngjun turned on the computer when he came to work and accessed Cosmo Live’s official account. As expected, there were hundreds of emails marked ‘unread’ in the mailbox.

[Proposal for a 3D model related project meeting]

[(Urgent) Inquiry about new technology collaboration.]

[(Important!) Could I get the contact information of ‘Mama’…ᅲᅲ]

Even though he scrolled down, he couldn’t see the end, so Youngjun frowned without realizing it. Since Seasons became a huge success, dozens or hundreds of these emails have been coming in every day.

It’s understandable.

Following Winter’s debut concert, Spring’s piano concert.

If you broaden the scope a bit, including Han Ari.

They really shook up the VTuber broadcasting scene.

Of course, they will get attention.

She doesn’t even reveal who she is.

A mysterious, super-human 3D designer?

This is another element that drives people in the industry crazy.

“I’m not Jina’s manager.”

It was a pity for Youngjun.

If Jina had signed an exclusive contract with Cosmo Live, he would have enjoyed these emails with a smile.

Youngjun sighed and looked at the emails one by one carefully.

He didn’t forget to write a reply email.

You never know who you’ll connect with and how in business. Considering the potential value, this much trouble is nothing.

“In that respect, I might have to thank Jina.”

After spending time organizing the emails, Youngjun crossed his arms and sighed.

He wondered if it might be, but as expected, they were all asking to know about Jina.

Still, people who inquire by email are better.

There were people who came to the office without notice, thrust a business card at Youngjun, and asked him to let them meet the designer who made Seasons’ avatar just once.

Just yesterday, an employee of a mid-sized game development company blocked Youngjun’s way as he was going out for lunch.

In fact, Youngjun had a lot of 고민 in his heart.

If it goes well, they can attach joint broadcasts, collaboration events, and even advertisements.

What’s more? Just saying that Jina is attached can lead to huge sponsorships or sponsors. It’s not a dream to receive investment with the technology.

-Please, Youngjun! Just tell us a little. We will spare no support.

-Please contact us just once! If that person is there, an innovative project will be possible!

He heard these specific proposals at coffee shops, bars, and even high-end restaurants.

Thanks to that, his food expenses have decreased significantly these days. This is also Jina’s grace.

But, Youngjun didn’t tell anyone about Jina.

It wasn’t simply because of the greed to monopolize Jina.

“Loyalty to Jina comes first.”

The Jina that Youngjun knows is the type who likes to work quietly rather than receive public attention.

She enjoys seeing VTubers shine with her work, but Jina herself never tries to come forward.

Therefore, Youngjun did not utter any information about Jina.

She doesn’t want to reveal herself yet.

It’s a magic sentence that makes the other person turn around.

“Still, going out and throwing a few insignificant words and getting free food and drinks… Jina will allow that, right?”

He has a dinner appointment at a hotel restaurant today.

Of course, the other party will swipe the card.

Today, Youngjun was returning to the office after having lunch with another company’s corporate card.

He entered the office with a wallet full of business cards, and a marketing team employee rushed over.

“Manager Youngjun! Did you know that the number of views of the clip of Spring playing the piano suddenly skyrocketed?”

“Huh? Did it spread to a foreign community or something?”

“I don’t know, but I heard that a famous American researcher uploaded the clip on Twitter.”

The marketing team employee added that it has also caused a great response in virtual reality and augmented reality research, and various research institutes and mid-sized companies are sending technical inquiries.

“…Thanks to Jina, I get to know all kinds of people.”

He thought Han Ari and Winter were shocking enough.

Spring playing the piano in virtual reality seems to have been a really big deal.

“Certainly, Jina is really amazing.”

“She was never someone we could embrace in the first place. She’s a doctorate-level talent.”

On the other hand, he is worried.

For Jina, VTuber modeling is like a hobby.

These days, she’s been working day and night, almost more than her main job.

Of course, for Jina, this work was her real main job, but Youngjun didn’t know that fact.

“I hope she doesn’t get sick from overworking like this.”

Come to think of it, it was a little while ago, but Winter cried and called because of Jina’s health issue.

-Y.. Youngjun… Managerrrr… What do I do…? Jina… Jina…! Sob, sob… Jina collapsed…

-I need to call 112… No, 119 right away… But I don’t know the address… Ah, ah, ugh…!

Fortunately, it ended as a happening that she just fell into a deep sleep after working all night for several days… but he can’t help but worry.

-It’s okay. These days, I’m taking good care of my nutritional supplements, and I’m trying not to work all night as much as possible.

-By the way, would you like to see the new costume I made this time? How is it? Don’t you think it will go well with the concept of the duet song that Winter is going to sing with Han Ari? I think Winter will like it too.

-…Ahaha. I understand. As soon as I finish talking with Youngjun, I’ll go to comfort Winter.

But Jina looked happier than anyone else when she was immersed in her work.

You can’t forcibly restrain someone who enjoys every day.

“Youngjun, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Lee Hyun from ‘Free Rose Lingerie’.”

The woman sitting across the table handed over a business card with the title ‘Free Rose Lingerie Sales Department Manager’.

So, it’s a women’s underwear company.

It’s not just any company.

It’s a company that holds the number one market share in Korea, a company that even Youngjun, a man, has vaguely heard of.

VTubers, internet broadcasting officials, game industry, VR device companies, AI research institutes, and now a women’s underwear company…

It was so strange that Youngjun immediately made an appointment for a meeting and came to this place.

‘Of course, it’s probably related to Jina.’

He can roughly guess the purpose.

So why?

He was honestly curious.

Why did a company that makes and sells underwear contact a VTuber MCN?

“I’m enjoying the broadcast very much. I’m enjoying Cherry and Mary’s broadcasts, but I’m also watching the broadcasts of Seasons, who recently debuted.”

At first, there was light small talk.

About Winter’s debut concert, Spring’s piano concert, and Summer and Fall’s lively broadcasts.

Youngjun thought to himself that he didn’t know if she really watched the broadcasts of Cosmo Live’s VTubers, but she seemed to have studied hard.

“So, the person who made Seasons’ avatar…”

When Hyun naturally turned the topic and came to the point, Youngjun, who was nodding with a business-like smile, straightened his back.

“Is it the same person who made Han Ari’s avatar?”

As expected, it’s this question.

Youngjun adjusted his glasses and repeated the words he had uttered countless times in the past few days.

“Yes, that’s right… but it’s hard to say the details.”

“Then, have you seen this video?”

At Youngjun’s words, Hyun suddenly held out a tablet.

On the large screen, a short video of Han Ari placing a cup on her chest was playing.

The moment the cup is placed on Han Ari’s chest, the chat window explodes.

“I know it well. It’s a very famous video in the industry.”

“What did you think when you saw this video?”

“I thought the technology was really amazing…”

“Right? Especially the overall shape, volume, and elasticity of the chest! At first, I thought this person was a real person cosplaying, not a VTuber.”

Youngjun was momentarily flustered.

He felt strangely sweaty hearing these words in a cafe with many other customers.

The other person is also a woman.

Oh, don’t get me wrong! It’s not me who’s sexually harassing, it’s that person… He was ready to shout.

Still, he managed to maintain his expression, and Hyun smiled and said.

“Our company is preparing a new business related to this technology. We need Jina’s help, so we requested this meeting.”

Youngjun’s eyes widened slightly.

He clearly hadn’t mentioned her name once in this place.

Hyun seemed to already know about Jina.
