[1 minute ago]
The video length is approximately 3 minutes and 2 seconds.
It seems like Kirinuki usually has short and thick videos. However, even within that short time, they manage to cover everything and even lead viewers to my channel to listen to the full version of the song.
“I don’t know much about editing, but it seems like they’re not your average skill level.”
“Yeah. They may be a community post, but the editing style is from an editor who used to work for several major companies. Literally a community post, don’t mention it on broadcasts.”
Despite the fact that the video was just uploaded a minute ago, many people were hoping for Hyobin’s return, as evidenced by numerous comments.
-Haha lol
-Oi oi, I’ve been waiting for this!
-I thought you were going to close the channel ㅠㅠ I’ll enjoy it.
“Literally…”
“Seriously, literally. I’m happy that this person is back, but it’s our sister, Palette. Sister is back! Congratulations.”
“Thank you. First of all, um. What should I do with this?”
With over 310,000 subscribers on the Kirinuki channel, I was suddenly uploading on my channel. If it had been something that a fan from a past life had uploaded, I could have just casually thanked them, but now I’m confused about what to do.
“Enjoy this moment first. Go take a shower and come back to relax.”
“I should do that. Hehe.”
A small shower room. My thoughts filled the space inside. I am currently filled with thoughts about the Kirinuki channel and the surface scratching.
Good things have been happening since my debut.
Feeling so happy, I start humming a tune. A while later, I return to Hyobin’s side.
“The scent is nice. What shampoo is this?”
“I just brought what I had at the orphanage. How is it?”
“Your channel is amazing. I’m getting excited talking about Palette too!”
I also took out my phone to check the channel. When I checked the number of subscribers before going to exercise today, it was around 15,000. However, after my video was uploaded on the surface scratching channel, it surpassed 20,000 in that short time.
“I’ve never tried stocks, but is this what it feels like when you suddenly hit the jackpot?”
“Maybe! Haha. I congratulated you on reaching 10,000 yesterday, and now we have to celebrate 20,000 today. I’m so happy. It feels like you’re finally seeing the light, sister.”
Hyobin excitedly moved her body back and forth with a happy face, then put down her phone and headed to the shower room.
Clang!
Suddenly, she opens the shower room door. I quickly covered my eyes in a bewildering sight.
“Sister. Haha. Why are you like that?”
“You’re the one who’s like that!”
“About that shampoo earlier. I want to try it too. Let me borrow it.”
“Sure. I’ll bring it, it’s inside.”
“Hehe. You’re really a Confucian. That’s why I want to tease you even more.”
“Don’t tease me, or you can’t use it!”
It feels like going through a smallpox epidemic. After placing the shampoo in front of the shower room door, I said from a distance.
“It’s right there! Take it.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
A while later, Hyobin came out of the shower room with steam. Unlike the bewildering sight before, she had properly changed her clothes.
“The refreshing feeling I feel, makes me want to exercise.”
But her hair was roughly dried, or maybe not dried at all, still damp.
“Why didn’t you dry your hair?”
“I let my hair dry naturally with the wind.”
“That’s not good. It’s bad for your hair and scalp health. Especially for you, even though it’s a partial area, like me, you’ve bleached it. You need to take better care of it.”
“Sounds like nagging.”
“Sit down.”
The sound of the hairdryer reverberated loudly. This should be enough. After neatly drying my hair, I stood in front of the gym mirror.
“Look at this. I need to keep my hair nice and fluffy like this.”
“You’re doing well. But did you get this orange hair done at a salon?”
“I didn’t have money, so I just bleached and dyed it at the orphanage. There’s a teacher there with a hairdressing license who helped me.”
“Oh, I see. Does that teacher also cut the kids’ hair?”
“Yes. These days, the salon is doing well, so I go there with some of the kids, but some are shy… Oh, sorry. I got carried away talking about the orphanage.”
“It’s nice to listen to. Do it often.”
Preparations are complete. If I leave now, I’ll arrive at the meeting place with Minji as planned.
“Did I forget anything?”
“No, teacher. I’ll enjoy my lunch.”
Hyobin chose the lunch menu, maybe at a tonkatsu restaurant.
“The tonkatsu there is good, but the bone broth they serve with it is really delicious. You won’t even need a drink.”
After making sure I didn’t forget anything, I stepped outside the gym. Then suddenly, Hyobin made another unexpected move and nudged me on the shoulder.
“Why~ We’ve showered together before, so it’s fine now.”
“It’s fine, but we’ve only showered together once, right? Did you forget a lot in the middle? We used the same shower room and took turns showering.”
“That’s true. Hehe. Or should we really shower together?”
I changed the subject before continuing the conversation, feeling like I might be embarrassed. Even when I was a man, I was about 178cm tall, not exactly short. It seemed to be reflected when I became a woman, with a height of around 164cm. But Hyobin’s height easily surpassed 171cm. It was the first time I had been nudged by a taller woman.
“It feels strange. I’ve always looked down on others, but now I’m looking up.”
“Haha. I think I know what you mean. I always looked up to my older sister because she was taller than me since we were kids. It doesn’t feel awkward.”
“Your older sister runs a fitness center, right?”
“Yeah. We have 0 brothers and 2 sisters. A daughter-daughter family. We all live together. Mom says it’s harder to raise a daughter than a son.”
You might understand Hyobin’s actions.
“By the way, I’ve talked a lot about my sister Seoa to my family lately. When we came from a distant place, Mom asked who the orange-haired person next to her was, and I told her all about it.”
“Oh, what did she say?”
“She said she’s the best. She said I’d regret it if I let her go. I think that’s why I’m holding on like this. She even said I don’t have to bring a dowry if I marry her.”
“Wait, hold on. Don’t just jump in like that.”
On the day of the interview, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Hyobin and her mother. Based on that, I guessed it was more of a joking remark than a serious one.
As we chatted, we arrived at the tonkatsu restaurant where we had arranged to meet Minji. When Minji saw us, she turned around in surprise.
“Minji, why? It’s us~.”
“Minji, are we embarrassing you?”
As we approached, Minji finally showed her face and started making excuses.
“No, it’s not that. I was just surprised to see you two walking together with your arms around each other… I was taken aback. I don’t believe it. The two of you eating with me feels like I’m the protagonist of a harem love comic…”
“Recommend me a comic with that storyline. The heroine with orange hair like Seoa.”
“There are a few similar ones. Let me recommend them to you.”
Meanwhile, today’s relay broadcast continued with Minji-Sunsoo-Hyobin in that order, just finishing the broadcast. I patted them on the back, saying they did well.
“Was it tough broadcasting? I’ll buy you something delicious for lunch.”
“Oh… Yes. By the way, SenSe, do you know about the ‘DdumDdumBugi Channel’?”
“I do. I just checked it out. Thanks to you, the number of subscribers is increasing significantly.”
“That’s right. You already have 23,000 subscribers.”
Has it increased by another 3,000 already?
At this rate, instead of celebrating 20,000 tonight, it will be 30,000.
“If the channel surpasses 100,000 subscribers, you qualify to be listed in a place like a person encyclopedia called ‘DdangDdang Wiki’… When that happens, I will write sincerely. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I don’t fall behind anyone online.”
“Minji, you’re busy with your broadcast…”
“No, I’ll definitely write it! Let’s consider using it as content later.”
“Uh, okay.”
I toned down my enthusiasm. Being listed in a person encyclopedia. Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard of DdangDdang Wiki somewhere before.
“Come to think of it, I must be listed on DdangDdang Wiki.”
“Huh, really?”
“Of course. As Kwon Seoa.”
“Right. Oh, you’re a singer.”
“Oh… That’s right. Kwon Seoa, who was called the genius vocalist of an indie band along with her first album… She even did interviews with the press!”
Since everyone seemed hungry, we entered a tonkatsu restaurant, placed our orders, and looked around slowly.
[Kwon Seoa]
[A singer from South Korea. The leader and vocalist of the heavy metal band Scarlet.]
“Is this your first time seeing this?”
“I’ve seen it a few times.”
But it’s the first time I’m seeing it as a woman.
From debut dates to height, blood type, life history to music activities, everything is written. I remember being surprised when I first saw it. I thought it would be briefly written, but it was almost like a thesis.
“But how do they know and write all this?”
“They probably watched interviews, asked questions when they went to your concerts, or something.”
“They put in so much effort?!”
“Hehe. A wiki that someone like me manages 24/7. It’s not an easy job. Especially when recording the activities of such a hot figure, the taste of ‘I introduced this person.’ That feeling, that high, is the best. For that, that level of effort is necessary. It doesn’t even feel like an effort.”
Minji spoke as if she knew the content well, telling the story smoothly. Meanwhile, as I read through the written content, I was stuck on some awkward phrases.
[The only figure to carry on the legacy of South Korea’s female rocker lineage. Even judged solely by her vocal ability, she is top-tier, and she earned the nickname ‘genius’ by composing and writing the lyrics for her first album Scarlet. (She’s even good at cooking…)]
There was no mention of this when I was a man.
“Wow…”
“You said the right thing. Look closely at the part about vocal ability and songwriting. It explains in detail why she’s called a genius.”
Thankfully, there were long praises about me listed there.
“I need to work harder. So that Laria can be written about too.”
***
That afternoon. Today, we slightly changed the rotation order, and Skua was broadcasting before me. Her content today is ‘YouTuber Profile Review,’ and the first guest is me.
[Broadcast Title: YouTuber Profile Review with Laria!]
-Skua is here
-Something big is coming lol
-Skua~
-Kua
-Laria is no joke
-Who is she going to review?!
Nearly 700 viewers are waiting for her to start.
“Hello~! Welcome, everyone.”
After casually interacting with the viewers, she moved herself to the left corner and displayed a blank screen. Soon, an illustration of Laria appeared on the screen.
“Hehe. Shall we start the Laria Profile Review?”
