Vroooooom─!

​

Inside the van heading towards Mystic Headquarters.

“Haaaaah.”

​

Sua let out a deep sigh. Sua’s frustrated.

​

‘You want *me* to go on the talent show? Are you crazy?’

​

‘Everyone’s Playground’ is a gathering of 100 streamers. Then how many viewers would there be? I don’t know the exact number, but it’s definitely enormous.

​

Suddenly, she let her imagination run wild.

​

‘The only talent I have…’

​

─Everyone! From now on, I, Lee Sua, will show off my Japanese skills! Please vote for me to be number one!

​

…I’d definitely be last place. Are you crazy? Are you insane?!

​

‘Still, it’s a relief. I cut it off cleanly.’

​

Sua wasn’t so uncivilized as to volunteer for a dangerous spot. To be exact, the Sua Association stopped her, but…

​

…Anyway, I refused! I did a good job, right!

​

[From: Go Eunbi]

​

▷ Sua, the talent show wasn’t in the contract. I’m not trying to force you at all. Please, I’m begging you.

​

▷ Can you do it just once? Just one time!

​

Yu Hansua, who was watching with her, shrugged.

​

─Your friend seems very desperate. I can feel it just from the message. She’ll probably go through the five stages soon.

​

‘What five stages?’

​

─You’ll see from now on.

​

Sua thought. She’s using those cryptic words to confuse me again. She typed a reply with her hands.

​

▶ No way. An actor’s image is their life, and this is too risky. In the first place, I don’t have the talent to win a talent show.

​

At the same time, Yu Hansua said a word.

​

─Stage one is denial.

​

▷ No, Sua would definitely do it for me.

▷ I love you, Sua ♡♡♡

▷ Please help me

​

▶ What I can’t do, I can’t do.

​

─Stage two is anger.

​

▷ Hey!!!!!!!

▷ What did you say to me? You said I was a good singer. You said I was a karaoke machine that always scored 100.

▷ You Lee Sua, you XX

​

‘….’

​

In fact, Sua had a guilty conscience.

​

The time I boasted that I was good at singing in the past? It’s true, though. But I didn’t say it seriously!

​

You know, when you argue over trivial things. I’m better than you─ and then it turns into, if you’re a noble, I’m a king, if you’re a king, I’m an emperor….

​

Hey, anyway, I’m better than you!

​

It was just a word I spat out during such a childish argument!

​

‘What am I supposed to do if you take it seriously?’

​

─Stage three is fear.

​

▷ I swore that I could persuade you, Sua. What’s going to happen to me if you don’t do it? I boasted that we were friends who could do anything for each other….

​

‘…I see.’

​

Sua understood now.

​

Eunbi must have told NeoLive that she was sure she could persuade her.

​

─I can see it all too clearly.

​

Wi Jihyesua chimed in.

​

─Aren’t you the rookie who’s been making a buzz lately? They must have mentioned you quite a bit within the company. That Eunbi or whatever probably wanted to show off your friendship.

​

─Probably. Anyway, stage four is bargaining.

​

▷ Sua please I’m begging you. I’ll do anything.

▷ I’m Lee Sua’s dog!

▷ I’ll lick your feet, I’ll bark, please please please

​

‘Ugh, this is making things difficult.’

​

It was a difficult situation for Sua.

​

Looking back, Saseum had granted Sua’s requests quite a few times. She’d helped her with games, and she’d ordered a lot of delivery food, too.

​

─It’s about time to accept it. Resignation.

​

▷ Hehehehe

▷ What am I doing right now hehehe

▷ It’s okay hehe

▷ Every time I turn on the broadcast, I’ll have to explain why I failed to recruit her, and after cheering on Kim Sun-il and Kim Yuhan, I’ll be called a VTuber obsessed with men, and every game account will be stalked for records, and they’ll monitor whether I have a boyfriend or not, but hehe. My position in the workplace will narrow, but it’s okay hehe. I made an unreasonable request hehe.

​

‘Ugh, really!’

​

Sua finally pressed the keyboard.

​

▶ I’ll think about it positively. Don’t get your hopes up too much.

​

Sua covered her phone and thought.

​

‘Singing, singing…. Should I look for a related script…’

​

Maybe it’ll be surprisingly easy.

​

Because Sua’s current trait is ‘Musician.’

◈◈◈◈◈

The van passed by Mystic Headquarters, picked up Kim Iseo, and the final destination was the pet care center.

Sua is going to see Sumi. Sumi love!

Huh? Why is Kim Iseo with her when she’s going to see Sumi?

Well, it’s because Kang Hyeon-seong PD’s pet special video for ‘Studio Snack’ is coming out soon.

Kim Iseo chuckled.

“Sua has surprisingly pure sides to her. Monitoring with a pet, I can’t even imagine it.”

“Because Sumi’s in it too.”

“That Arctic fox will be very happy, too.”

​

Kim Iseo tapped Sua’s back.

​

“She met a warm-hearted owner like Sua. I heard that raising a pet helps with the treatment of alexithymia, so it was a reassuring request in many ways.”

​

…No wonder she was so happy to come along.

​

The two continued to talk as they entered the center.

​

Kim Iseo broke the silence first.

“I should be used to it by now, but it’s new and nerve-wracking every time. Sua and Yeonju both need to have a good reaction.”

“I hope Sumi has a good reaction too.”

Sua loved Sumi day and night. SuaSumi!

​

“Of course she will. She’s so cute.”

​

​

Snoore─ Snoore─

​

Sumi was taking a nap.

​

Then, at some point.

​

“…”

​

Sumi perked up her ears at a certain sign.

​

And soon, she opened her eyes wide and got up from her seat. If her hunch was right, something huge was about to happen.

​

“Sumi-ya!”

​

Sumi was convinced at the caretaker’s fuss.

​

Sua came.

​

Sumi doesn’t know human language at all, but she can easily distinguish the intonation. The caretaker always called Sumi with that intonation when Sua visited.

“…!”

​

Sumi wagged her tail wildly.

“Awoong…. Awoong! Awoong!”

(Is my mother here!?)

​

“Sua’s here! Sumi, are you excited?”

“Huff huff…. Awooooo!”

(I want to see my mother!)

​

It’s a strange scene. Even though they don’t speak the same language, it looks like they’re talking at first glance.

​

“Okay. Let’s go, Sumi.”

​

But.

​

Just as the caretaker was about to hug Sumi.

​

Sss─

​

Sumi deftly avoided the human’s touch. Because there was something she needed to quickly grab if she met Sua.

“Huff huff….”

​

Sumi quickly looked around inside her house.

​

There was a gift she had saved up for her mother, Sua, and now was the time to give it.

​

However.

“…?”

Sumi searched the inside of the house with a blank face. But it wasn’t there. No matter how much she looked, it wasn’t there.

“…!”

​

When Sumi experienced both embarrassment and despair.

“Sumi, are you looking for a fur ball?”

​

Sumi looked up at the caretaker’s face. She didn’t know what she was talking about, but there might be a clue.

​

Sumi pressed a certain part inside the house with her front paws. It’s where her gift was.

​

She had gathered her white fur into a ball like this. Sua liked Sumi’s soft fur very much. So she worked hard to gather only the clean fur…

​

“Our Sumi was shedding a lot of fur. I cleaned it all up while you were sleeping. It was really hard.”

​

The caretaker mimicked a dustpan and broom with her hands, and Sumi, who understood that, despaired.

“…!”

You cleaned it up?! You uncivilized person!

​

Sumi collapsed and cried.

“…Awoooooooo!”

(I had a grand plan, but whether it will be achieved or not depends on the heavens. There’s nothing I can do! Even being filial to my mother is this difficult….)

.

.

.

.

.

Well, anyway.

Sumi was soon able to forget her worries and have a happy time. Because Sua was very happy as soon as she saw Sumi. Holding her on her lap and petting her a lot.

“Awoo awoo.”

(Sumi, how have you been?)

“Awoong.”

(Yes. I’ve been well. Mother.)

​

“Arrrr?”

(Is there anything you need these days?)

Sumi pondered for a moment.

“I want a sibling. I would like to have a peer blood relative to share my thoughts with. I think it would be good for my mother, too. Your later years won’t be lonely.”

​

“…Si, sibling?”

​

Sua couldn’t help but be greatly embarrassed.

​

Last time she asked for breast milk, and this time she was asking for something even more difficult. But if you think about it, it wasn’t unreasonable. It’s something she could wish for….

​

That’s why it was even more difficult.

​

“My mother is wonderful, so it would be easy to give birth to about ten of them, right? I’d be so happy to imagine leading my siblings. Ah, come to think of it, where is my father…?”

“….”

Just as Sua was sweating profusely.

​

“Sua, look at this.”

​

Kim Iseo said.

​

It was heavenly luck for Sua. She turned her head away as if she couldn’t help but not respond to Sumi. Sua evasion swoosh.

​

The phone screen came into view.

​

[I really don’t know who’s the owner. Talented pets all out! ㅣ Studio Snack ㅣ ENG ㅣ Lee Sua X Seo Yeonju Appearance]

​

[First release in 00:00:10]

​

Sua nodded.

“I know. They added a reservation feature.”

​

“Hey, that’s not the surprising part.”

​

Kim Iseo slightly removed the finger that was covering part of the screen. The truth that is revealed immediately.

​

[130,000 people waiting]

[Live Chat]

─Please start 10 minutes early ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

─Lee Sua! Lee Sua! Lee Sua! Lee Sua!

─I’m watching Mytube entertainment show for the first time because of Sua-nim….

─I hate the reservation feature, but I’m putting up with it because of Sua.

─So what’s that scarf all about???

​

Kim Iseo chuckled as Sua was inwardly shocked by the number of people and the overwhelming firepower, which was beyond imagination.

​

“The number of people is one thing, but everything from the title to the chat is full of Mystic mentions. We’ve taken a real bite.”
