Chapter 60: Song promotion is for the weak

“Hello, this is Han Ari. Did you all have a good day today?”

A gentle, calm but clear voice echoed in the studio.

Soon, a pure white avatar appeared with soft background music.

-Han haha haha~

-The song is so good!!

-The best song of the year from the New Year LOL

The chat window was filled with rave reviews of Han Ari and Winter’s duet song, which was uploaded yesterday through Cosmo Live’s official channel.

Han Ari smiled shyly and twirled her hair with her finger.

With several more updates added by Jina, it has now come to the point where it is difficult to tell whether it is a virtual avatar or an actual person in cosplay.

“Did everyone… watch the video? Actually, I was surprised. I didn’t know the reaction would be this good…”

Han Ari’s voice trembled a little.

Perhaps because she was more nervous than usual, she neatly gathered her hands and kept swallowing hard.

It was understandable.

Today was her first broadcast since the duet song was released.

“This is the first time I’m properly letting you hear my singing, so I was worried a lot… but I’m glad everyone seems to like it.”

[HariHari has donated 100,000 won]

[Fixed song-bang from now on]

At the same time as the 100,000 won donation, the avatar’s outfit changed from a navy blue blouse to a blue dress with snowflake decorations.

“HariHari-nim, thank you so much for the 100,000 won donation. A singing broadcast… I was thinking about it anyway.”

Han Ari continued her comments without panicking.

Because her clothes have changed so many times, she no longer panics unless it’s a bikini-level outfit.

“It’s still not enough… but I’ll practice a little more and prepare to show you a great song live.”

A small smile appeared on Han Ari’s lips.

Letting many people hear her singing was a dream she had cherished since her trainee days.

It took a little longer than expected.

But being able to fulfill that dream even now is.

‘All thanks to… Mama.’

Han Ari has been steadily active since her debut.

For several months, Jina has been updating Han Ari’s avatar, HANA, adding new features, and even providing ideas for broadcast content.

The same was true for this duet song video.

Of course, Han Ari and Winter’s singing skills were also excellent.

However, it was Jina’s technical skills that brought the video’s perfection to the extreme.

‘She’s really an amazing person.’

Han Ari let out a sigh, unknowingly mixed with respect and admiration.

But at the same time.

A strange feeling of resentment pricked the corner of her heart.

‘Looking at it, it seems like she gave her number to Seasons and contacts them often privately…’

Especially Winter (Seo-ah).

This fierce younger sister, who suddenly called herself ‘Unnie’ at the first meeting, seemed to be quite close to Jina.

She even seemed to have met Jina separately in reality.

‘She told me that meeting in person is difficult for the time being…’

Han Ari pouted her lower lip for no reason, then barely managed to manage her expression again.

One of HANA’s only flaws is that it captures even the slightest emotions that are revealed in her expression. She has to be careful, very careful.

Of course, she had no intention of expressing her resentment to Jina.

No, she couldn’t express it.

‘What if it looks like I’m just whining for no reason…’

Still, she’s kind of the first daughter(?).

Han Ari didn’t want to be seen by Jina as a ‘whining daughter’.

She wanted to be someone who silently supported Jina by her side.

Still, someday.

‘I want to meet Jina like Winter-nim…’

[Anonymous donor donated 1,000 won]

[But how did you get to know Winter??]

“…..!”

At the sudden donation notification message, Han Ari was startled and came back to reality.

Her face flushed as if her innermost thoughts had been exposed.

“Winter-nim… how did I end up singing a duet song with Winter?”

-Winter ‘nim’ LOLOLOL

-The relationship is so awkward LOL

-Winter? Just… ‘business’

-Did the two of them have a fight??

As Han Ari stuttered and waved her hands, the viewers all started teasing her as if they had caught a good opportunity.

[Anonymous donor donated 1,000 won]

[The awkwardness is suffocating LOL How did this duet even happen?]

“That’s… it just happened that way.”

Han Ari smiled awkwardly and mumbled.

The embarrassment she felt when she first received the proposal from Winter.

The tension during the recording process.

And… even the subtle relationship with one person involved.

How on earth should she explain all of this?

“Just… um… it’s a bit of an ambiguous… sister-like relationship?”

Han Ari stammered, barely piecing the words together.

She wasn’t good at deflecting words in the first place, but she stammered even more when she was cornered like this.

The way she slightly lowered her head and avoided eye contact in between made even those who were watching burst into laughter.

And the avatar was unnecessarily high quality, so her bewildered expression was clearly revealed on her face.

-Han Ari~ (cute)

-Sisters are sisters LOL The person who made the avatar is the same LOL

-Ah~ Anyway, they have the same Mama~

-Seeing that they’re not close to each other, I thought they were real sisters LOL

[Chairman of the National Han Ari Association has donated 10,000 won]

[But isn’t it the rule to have a collab and share stories together the day after releasing a duet song?]

“Ah, that’s right, there was talk about having a collab today… but Winter-nim said she has a very important broadcast today, so…”

-???

-There’s a more important schedule than promoting the cover song?

-What, is she filming another commercial today?

Amidst the many hooks that adorned the chat window.

Han Ari smiled awkwardly and continued speaking.

“That… she has to do her placement matches in the legendary Summoner’s Rift…”

-Summoner’s Rift LOL Placement Matches LOL

-brainsick ㅋㅋㅋ (crazy)

-Summoner’s Rift > Han Ari

-Winter is so likable LOL

-Ah LOL Placement Matches are understandable

Not long after Han Ari turned on her broadcast.

Winter also turned on her broadcast.

“Today, as I announced, I’m going to do my placement matches in Summoner’s Rift.”

Unlike her calm tone, Winter’s attire was very solemn.

A pure white uniform with a fitted captain’s hat.

And even black sunglasses.

Today, she has the mindset to take every game seriously.

[SongiSongi has donated 50,000 won.]

[Is this the broadcast of a gamer who doesn’t promote the song the day after releasing a cover song and connects to the legendary Summoner’s Rift?]

“SongiSongi-nim, thank you for the 50,000 won donation… Song promotion? Well, Ari Unnie will take care of that.”

Winter said in a solemn voice that it wasn’t important right now.

-‘Promotion pass’

-That side is Winter-nim, but this side is Ari Unnie LOL

-It seems like Han Ari has been eaten by Winter?

-Honestly, if the two of them fought, it seems like Winter would crush her

“I think I’ll be doing Summoner’s Rift broadcasts often for the time being. For a month… no, about two months? Anyway, until I reach Master tier.”

New Year’s celebration broadcast where all the Seasons members gathered.

In front of many viewers, Winter declared.

This season, she will reach Master tier in the legendary Summoner’s Rift.

Reach Master and…

‘Invite Jina-nim to my room… definitely…!’

Of course, Jina’s promise was just to do a collab once.

Even that is an avatar appearance, not a real appearance.

But Winter didn’t care.

Even if it’s a cardboard collab, the two of them will eventually have to be in one studio, in one space, right?

If Jina says she’s going to connect through VR Chat… then she has to strongly insist that it’s difficult because the realism of the broadcast will be lacking, and that she should definitely come to her room.

After inviting Jina to her room like that…

She plans to have a short and impactful broadcast and then enjoy a long and proper afterparty.

Winter was already excited at the thought of doing such and such things with Jina.

-I wonder… how is this woman’s solo queue?

-First of all, her Master skills are certain ㅇㅇ

-When I saw her doing Summoner’s Rift last time, she was Grandmaster level, not Master level?

-Winter’s goal is just not to swear while gaming LOL

No one doubted Winter’s gaming skills.

That’s because she properly proved it in the ‘Summoner’s Rift Kindergarten’ content that happened recently.

What was most amazing in that broadcast that day.

The new avatars of the kindergarten students, including Daon.

Not even Winter’s hot office look that emphasized her breasts.

It was Winter’s gaming skills that eventually overcame 9 (5+4) vs 1.

Even though the 4 kindergarten students, including Daon, were not only shitting and pissing on Pupu, but also tap-dancing on logs.

Winter eventually led the game to victory by solo carrying with Irelia.

And she didn’t swear once during that time.

Winter, she sharpened her knife properly for this goal.

“What should I do for the first game…? Is there anything you want to see?”

The first game of the highly anticipated placement matches.

The names of all kinds of champions flashed wildly in the chat window.

Irelia or Katarina, who were active in Summoner’s Rift Kindergarten.

Lissandra or Anivia, who match Winter’s concept.

And…

[SnowFox has donated 500,000 won.]

[Ari]

“I’ll do Ari.”

Winter was a VTuber who knew how to adapt to capitalism.

“Well, shall we go?”

Winter muttered in a languid voice, manipulating the keyboard and mouse.

From the beginning, Winter’s play was fierce.

She carefully took care of the minions, and lightly tapped the auto-attacks.

“I got her.”

At the moment, she aimed for the timing when she was 1 level ahead, and quickly and accurately planted a skill combo that started with CC.

First Blood.

At the same time as the voice actor’s voice echoed softly, the chat window quickly rose.

-She got her?’

-Kya~ It’s amazing.

-Winter Go! Winter Go! Winter Go! Winter Go!

-What can’t you do, Kim Winter!!

-Mom, when I grow up, I want to marry Winter Nuna!!

Winter didn’t stop.

Actively calling the jungle to catch the opponent’s mid laner once more, and after taking the ultimate, she tower dived and caught them once more.

Then, she went down the river as it was and cleanly got a double kill.

“The game is going well.”

The Dominator of the Battlefield.

As the voice actor expressed it, Winter’s Ari began to dominate this game.

Small-scale skirmishes in front of the objective.

Large-scale team fights in the mid lane.

Winter’s play shined everywhere.

The opposing team’s champions fell helplessly to Winter’s Ari.

Like men possessed by foxfire.

-OCXO

-The level is really different, the level

-Winter is trying so hard not to swear LOL She’s keeping her mouth shut LOL

Exactly 20 minutes. The opposing team pressed the happiness button and surrendered.

The time was delayed by 5 minutes because the top laner, who had grown well enough, held out until the end.

Even with a perfect victory, Winter didn’t say anything.

As if this was natural, she left the opposing team, who were wishing for the longevity of her parents in the results window, and came out.

Then, she mechanically grabbed the queue and pressed the accept button.

“I’ll play the next game right away.”

That’s how Winter.

Finished her placement matches cleanly with all wins and ended the broadcast.

‘I should ask her to match the clothes model I’ll wear for the collab in advance.’

Winter was currently cruising towards her goal.

…For now.
