Preparing to Move

-Today, a bloodbath blows through here.

-Hani finally drew her sword ㄷㄷ;;

-The day of the malicious massacre.

-At this rate, everyone will die!!!

“I’m warning you in advance, if you run away I’ll just blacklist you. If you happen to stay, I might give you a chance to explain.”

Public opinion changes and I ride that atmosphere.

“These posts here aren’t everything. I picked the worst ones among those posted in the last 10 days, and the rest will be sent as private messages to those viewers after the broadcast ends. Those people should plan to write at least 3 pages of handwritten reflection on A4 paper and send it to my email.”

I calmly declare and click on the first post.

“… Whoever drew and posted this, come out and explain quickly.”

-ㅋ Crazy. What did you draw with Hani and Mia as subjects?

-Ah, I really wish all those yuri fans would just go and die.

-I saw this before, didn’t it go up to chapter 2? Hand holding in chapter 1, kissing in chapter 2… then what’s chapter 3?

-Ooh! The artist seems to know their stuff!

There was no answer from the person who drew and posted the picture on the board.

Just in case, I decide to check that person’s chat history.

-LiveEarnestly: Buying the cat ears Hani wore. Will pay a high price!

-LiveEarnestly: Ah, really bouncing as she jumps. The bunny ears folding is cuteness itself!

-LiveEarnestly: Wow… today’s outfit is super hot ㄷㄷ;;

-LiveEarnestly: ㅋ Honestly, when Hani and Mia do joint broadcasts, am I the only one who finds the way they look at each other suspicious?

-LiveEarnestly: What’s with Mia and Lark. Honestly, Hani and Mia look good together. Imagine them kissing. Their height difference is just right to make your heart flutter.

-LiveEarnestly: Hani says she’s moving, it’d be fine if she lived together with Mia. They can rely on each other, isn’t that nice.

“This is… I have nothing more to say.”

-ㅋ This is all out in the open. For real;; A yuri bug.

-How did you survive without getting caught until now ㅋ

-The movement seems perfect.

There’s no need to hear excuses.

Since it’s content that could affect not just me but Mia too, I boldly added the nickname to the blacklist.

“Let’s move on to the next.”

This time it was completely R-rated content.

They edited my bunny girl cosplay video to make it look like I had a carrot in my mouth with my hand pointing downwards, in a composition anyone would associate with ‘masturbation’.

Viewers who saw that kept spamming ‘ㅓㅜㅑ’ in the chat, and I demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

-R-ratedExpert: I don’t see what the problem is. I’m just eating a carrot and one hand is naturally hanging down. The area below the stomach is cut off and not visible anyway. The problem is with people who have dirty imaginations when seeing this.

“Hey! What’s with the slightly dazed eyes and flushed cheeks? Do you think I’m an idiot?”

-ㅋ Completely shameless.

-Today too, the malicious one was malicious.

-The excuse is almost Korean politician level ㅋ

With the continued petty excuses, I even dissected the chat history.

As expected, it was a viewer who had been chat banned several times for R-rated jokes that precariously crossed the line.

I immediately add them to the blacklist.

-Wow, Hani is resolute today. Like she ate a pumpkin.

-Watch out, human above. You could be next ㅋ

-Is today the day of the large-scale malicious massacre?

-Now the chat will be a bit cleaner ㅋ

“Next!”

There were still many malicious ones left to deal with.

[Hani’s Broadcast Malicious Massacre Day (+772)]

[Is This Right for Hani’s Broadcast? Totally 10 Noble Broadcast Vibe (+770)]

[Collection of Malicious Viewers’ Obscene Acts on Hani’s Broadcast (+744)]

[Hani’s Third Penalty Broadcast Promise, Schedule to be Announced Within Next Week! (+734)]

[Hani’s Moving Day Confirmed? Location? (+731)]

“Well… this should be enough.”

[Do you think it went well according to plan?]

“Not bad. It’s thanks to offering the penalty broadcast as a carrot first. That split public opinion.”

This is the divide and conquer strategy effectively used in politics.

Thanks to that, yesterday’s purge broadcast ended safely.

Of course, I have to accept some decrease in viewer numbers.

As of yesterday, I presented to viewers that the ‘line’ to be kept will be stricter, and people dissatisfied with that atmosphere were likely to leave.

But it can’t be helped.

If I don’t filter out these loaches once in a while, the whole pond could become muddy water.

‘I’ll maintain this atmosphere for a while and…’

Actually, it was unreasonable to try to greatly change or attempt something right now.

Because the imminent event of ‘moving’ was too powerful.

Only after resolving that first could I move on to the next step.

‘But well… there’s nothing urgent for a while.’

Other than the penalty broadcast I promised viewers this time, there weren’t any particular scheduled events coming up.

Since that too could be considered after wrapping up the moving issue, I have about 2 weeks of time to spare.

‘The Chuseok holiday has already passed too.’

The Chuseok holiday had passed during the hellish training camp period.

In the meantime, I got a call from my parents doing business abroad.

Asking if I’m doing well.

They said they’d send plane tickets to meet once around the end of the year, but I postponed answering.

[Are you worried about meeting your parents?]

“……”

It seems the anxiety decreased a lot after meeting friends, but this was about parents.

Of course, relationships with friends are important too, but they can never be treated with the same weight as family.

“No, it’ll be fine. It will be okay.”

It has to be.

My father who always watched over me steadily despite few words.

And my mother who clung to me giving love to the point of fatigue.

What if things changed a lot from before as my memories of gender changed by the goddess’s power?

Could I endure that gap?

[You don’t need to worry too much. You felt it before too. The goddess’s power is perfect.]

“… It should be.”

As I was hiding my anxiety like that, I got a call from Yerin.

Checking, she said she selected about three good places.

She asked my thoughts on looking around together today.

The current time is 2 PM.

Yerin attends a specialized high school so she’s subject to slightly looser attendance regulations, but skipping at this time is inconsiderate.

Yerin said that as long as there are results, anything is possible, so she skipped 5 days for this training camp under the pretext of participating in the tournament, but no matter how I think about it, I feel Yerin’s family ‘power’ played a big role rather than such reasons.

Well, I still don’t know exactly about that ‘family’ because it feels awkward to ask.

“Then shall we meet at 4 when you finish?”

“Okay. Let’s do that. I’ll go to your school.”

“Um… I can just come if you wait.”

“No. I’m already in the position of asking for help with the moving issue, I can’t go that far.”

“Okay! See you later then.”

“Yep.”

After finishing the conversation with Yerin, I post a notice.

I can’t take a break from broadcasting.

The public sentiment is still turbulent from the 10-day break, I can’t make such a bad move.

However, delaying the broadcast time slightly should be fine.

I post a notice saying that due to the important moving issue, today’s broadcast will start at 7 PM and end later than usual, and decided to go to Myunghoon’s gym.

I’ve rested from not just broadcasting but exercise for too long due to the training camp.

It seemed the timing would work out if I exercised for about an hour, then got ready and left for Yerin’s school.

---

“Unnie!”

“Oh, over here.”

After finishing exercise, I returned home and took a taxi in comfortable clothes.

And moved.

I don’t know well, but the taxi driver chatters about this and that after hearing the destination.

He says the school Yerin attends is a very famous school.

With tuition for one semester over twice that of regular high schools…

Well, I roughly expected it, but after getting off in front of the grand scale school gate and waiting for about 10 minutes while receiving gazes from around,

I see Yerin waving from afar.

Not seeming tired at all, she comes running at full speed.

“You could have come slowly.”

“Huff huff! You never know. There could be wolves eyeing unnie.”

Yerin says with difficulty while glaring around with sharp eyes.

At that, the male students gathered near the school gate with nothing to do all turn their heads at once.

“As expected!”

“Hey, you must be imagining things. More importantly, let’s go quickly. You said three places, right?”

“Yes, just a moment.”

When Yerin takes out her phone and makes a call, a vehicle appears in front of the school gate shortly after.

“Nice to meet you. You must be Hani? I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Oh, um… that.”

“Unnie, this is the lawyer who will help us with this matter. He’s acquainted with my father and helps a lot with various things.”

I briefly greeted the lawyer and got in the backseat with Yerin to move to our destination.

“The first building isn’t new construction, it’s about 5 years old. 2 rooms and a bathroom, interior space is about 16 pyeong, 40 million won deposit and monthly rent is…”

With the 20 million won deposit from the existing studio, the tournament prize money, and money from liquidating stocks, about 42 million won was prepared in total.

It seems I’ll have to pay for the soundproofing construction costs by exchanging water balloons.

I applied, but I’m waiting because the date when I can exchange hasn’t come yet.

Of course, there’s no problem starting construction right away.

I can put down an appropriate amount of deposit in advance and pay the remaining balance after construction is completed.

“Which one do you like?”

“Hmm, I think the second one is good.”

“You too, unnie? I thought so too.”

It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to look around all three recommended places.

As expected of someone Yerin recommended, only good properties were introduced, but I liked the second one the most.

It was a villa of about 17 pyeong, and the fact that it was about 2 stops away from where I’m living now was a point that gave high marks first, and the interior condition was good because it was remodeled last year.

The 3rd floor location was slightly concerning, but with Yerin’s assurance that there would be no problem if soundproofing was installed well, I finally made the final decision.

“Is it okay to decide in just one day like this?”

The cost was set at 40 million won deposit with 500,000 won monthly rent.

The monthly rent could be lowered if the deposit was raised more, but I’m short on money right now and… anyway, I answered while patting Yerin’s head as she tilted it.

“It’s a property recommended by someone you introduced, of course it’ll be fine.”

“Hehe.”

It’s a property recommended by a lawyer associated with Yerin’s formidable family.

What problems could arise here?

We decided to proceed with the contract right away tomorrow and called the soundproofing construction company Mia introduced.

Similarly, I made an appointment for around contract time tomorrow.

I was thinking of handling multiple schedules at once.

“Unnie, I was a big help today, right?”

“Huh? Oh… yeah, that’s right.”

I had just finished contacting the company and was moving by car again.

Yerin slowly links arms with me.

Her slightly downcast gaze was quietly fixed on one spot.

“Excessive physical contact prohibited!”

“Tch!”

As expected, I couldn’t let my guard down for a moment with Yerin.
