Chapter Index

    Will I really be able to gain singing skills?

    Actually, this was a gamble for Sua as well.

    Looking back, Sua absorbed some things as abilities and others as roles. What was the criteria?

    After much deliberation, a simple conclusion was reached.

    ‘Things I can handle become embodied, but things deemed utterly impossible are absorbed as roles.’

    Huh? Where did this amazing reasoning power suddenly come from?

    Actually, Yu Han-Sua told me!

    ─You are correct in your thinking. For example, the special perk failed to inject intelligence, so it inserted my entire existence.

    ‘….’

    I wanted to argue, but I didn’t really have anything to say.

    Anyway, the important thing is something else! Sua, focus!

    ‘This means I can learn singing directly, right?’

    It would have been a disaster if all it did was bring in roles that are good at singing into the mental world, but thankfully, the special perk told Sua that she could also learn to sing.

    It’s a jackpot. A jackpot, a jackpot.

    [ …Loading special ability… ]

    [ Special Ability: Singing ]

    ‘It’s a jackpot. A real jackpot.’

    Sua’s life changed completely after obtaining the special perk. How much more is it going to change from now on? My heart couldn’t help but pound and flutter.

    ‘What kind of life am I going to experience this time?’

    Of course, I dreamed of a good situation. Being born as a rich daughter and walking the path of a singer-songwriter? Anyway, I just hoped it wouldn’t be difficult. I hate difficult things!

    That’s when it happened.

    [ …Creating a learning environment… ]

    [ …Error occurred… ]

    “Huh?”

    [ Target level is primitive. ]

    [ Human environment construction failed ]

    [ Stage adjustment to beast completed ]

    [ …Starting learning… ]

    “…What?”

    Sua didn’t even have time to argue.

    Ssssss─!

    Learning started immediately.

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    When I came to my senses, it was a dense forest.

    Sua muttered without realizing it.

    “Where is this place again?”

    Not only was it a sudden place, but Sua was also surprised because the surrounding trees were so big. There were trees like this?

    Then, suddenly, after seeing the puddle of water below, Sua realized it. I am not human.

    “What? Are you saying that’s me?”

    The appearance I knew was nowhere to be found. All I could see was a tiny little thing that looked like a sparrow.

    ‘…Is this what they meant by a “beast environment”?’

    Come to think of it, it seems like it was like this when I acquired ‘acting like a fox’ too. No, even so, this is too much!

    “Couldn’t you have given me something better?”

    After that, I felt a tremendous sense of incongruity again. I became a bird, but I don’t chirp. This was a human voice.

    At that moment.

    Srrrruk!

    Information was injected into Sua’s head.

    “….”

    I was a bird called a ‘zebra finch.’

    It looks like a sparrow, but it’s not a sparrow, and it’s perhaps the most famous individual among songbirds? The biggest characteristic is that it sings to find a mate.

    Sua suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

    ‘No way, it can’t be.’

    At that moment, several other zebra finches landed next to the branch Sua was sitting on. They were all males.

    “Hey, Sua-sae (bird), have you practiced your singing well?”

    Sua was dumbfounded.

    “…This is the first time in my life I’ve talked to a bird in human language.”

    “I don’t know what you’re suddenly talking about. Anyway, you have to be sharp today and not talk nonsense. Because today is the day you choose your destined mate.”

    Sua’s ominous feeling grew stronger.

    ‘Ah, really, please no way.’

    No way it was. When I checked, I was also a male.

    At the same time, the special perk window appeared.

    [ Master singing and succeed in marriage ]

    ‘….’

    I wanted to say something to the special perk, but then I thought that I shouldn’t. Yeah, it’s better to learn like this than not being able to learn at all.

    …But what’s with this world where I sing human songs in the body of a zebra finch, where did the life of a singer-songwriter comfortably composing in a rich house go!

    “Sigh.”

    Sua muttered without realizing it.

    “No matter how I think about it, it’s a bit… strange to woo with songs.”

    Isn’t it too embarrassing? Sua knew that she was timid and easily embarrassed. This is too much.

    But then another zebra finch said abruptly.

    “Why? Isn’t it fortunate that you’re wooing with songs?”

    “What?”

    “You’re not very intelligent. If this were an intelligent society, you would have been abandoned from the group a long time ago. On the contrary, it’s a fair place because everyone can only compete with songs.”

    “….”

    Sua thought. What is this? Is this actually the special perk using the zebra finch’s mouth to say what it wants to say?

    Anyway, Sua soon began the mission.

    .

    .

    .

    ─♩♪♬

    Soon the surroundings were filled with birdsong.

    Females were sitting alone on branches everywhere, and male zebra finches would approach them as if they were having an interview, sing, and then be evaluated.

    ‘…The world of the zebra finch is cold.’

    That was Sua’s impression.

    Male finches who were good at singing were a breeze, but male finches who were bad at singing were met with a cold reaction without exception.

    ‘Alright. Me too.’

    Sua also bravely approached a female zebra finch.

    “Hello….”

    “Aren’t you going to sing? If you’re not going to sing, go away.”

    “Ah, yes.”

    Sua cleared her throat, hmm hmm.

    “Okay. Just go.”

    The other party abruptly expressed their refusal.

    “…?”

    Sua was dumbfounded.

    “I haven’t even sung a single verse yet.”

    “It’s obvious without listening. Your breathing is unbalanced, and your voice is full of timidity. What can you express with that kind of tone?”

    “….”

    “Do you not talk much normally? Or have you only lived by having conversations that aren’t like conversations? How asocial do you have to be to be like that? It seems like the problem isn’t your singing, but that you have to learn how to make a voice.”

    “….”

    “Go.”

    In the end, Sua was kicked out without much resistance.

    Sua sad…. Sua sucks….

    I was discouraged by just one setback. No, I admit that everything you said is right, but you didn’t have to say it so harshly. My heart was hurt.

    Then the other male zebra finches urged Sua.

    “Sua-sae (bird)! What are you doing standing there like a fool?”

    “Hey! You have to try even one more time!”

    Sua looked around again.

    Now that I see it, it wasn’t just me who was rejected. Almost all the males were experiencing rejection. But they kept looking for other females without giving up.

    That’s why Sua mustered up courage.

    ‘Yeah, if I can just improve my singing skills, then I don’t care about embarrassment, right? Lee Sua, just imagine yourself singing wonderfully later. The important thing is the result!’

    Sua Sua fighting!

    After that, Sua ran around like crazy.

    “When are you going to start singing? Why are you just screaming?”

    “…Did you forget the lyrics? Do you have a problem with your intelligence?”

    “Don’t go anywhere and say you’re a zebra finch. It’s embarrassing.”

    “Get lost.”

    Everything failed. Sua is doomed!

    In the end, Sua failed to find a mate, and after sadly watching other zebra finches form families and live happily, Sua met its end.

    It was the first regression.

    .

    .

    .

    After that, Sua practiced singing like crazy.

    “Euh-heum.”

    This world has a strange structure where human songs are sung in the body of a zebra finch, so Sua was able to chase after other males and learn songs diligently. Sua hardworking.

    I’ve never learned breathing and vocalization, but it seems like my natural tone itself is pretty good. Surprisingly, results appeared quickly. I really worked to death.

    ‘…You things that will turn into chicken if you fry them are ignoring me?’

    Sua really gritted her teeth and worked hard.

    .

    .

    .

    After that, there were results.

    “That’s a song worth listening to. But I like someone else more. Please give me a little time.”

    “I’ll think about it.”

    “It’s not bad.”

    The reactions of the female zebra finches noticeably improved. Sua also rose to the ranks in her own way. Sua jumped around and was happy, and after that, she continued to work even harder.

    After living for a whopping ten thousand times.

    “Sua-sae (bird)! Please marry me!”

    “I don’t care if you have other wives! Please just let me listen to your songs by staying by your side! Please!”

    “I can’t be satisfied with other songs anymore!”

    Sua finally smiled contentedly.

    “Hmph….”

    .

    .

    .

    [ …User level has increased… ]

    [ …Attempting to build a human environment… ]

    [ …Starting learning…. ]

    After that, Sua also experienced the learning she wanted. It’s a story about being born into a rich family and walking the life of a genius singer-songwriter. Of course, I repeated this a thousand times too.

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    How much time had passed?

    When I came to my senses, Sua was at home.

    ‘…What is it? I feel like my throat hurts.’

    Sua rubbed her neck with her palm. Fortunately, my neck is fine. But why do I feel so overworked? And I don’t know why, but I wanted to eat chicken.

    Then I shook my head.

    ‘This is not the time for this.’

    I had to sing right away. I need to check my skills!

    Just as Sua was about to use the recorder app.

    ─♩♪♬

    A phone call came. The caller is Go Eun-bi.

    ‘It must be a call about the talent show, right?’

    She must have been very impatient. She can’t help but be curious about what decision Sua made. Sua was about to answer the phone without thinking much, but then a good idea came to mind.

    ‘…Come to think of it, I can be comfortable with Eun-bi.’

    We’ve seen each other’s good and bad sides, so it won’t hurt to show any kind of behavior. So Sua’s choice is.

    “The alley you and I walked together─”

    I started singing as soon as I answered the phone.

    Eun-bi will give me her impressions in some way after hearing Sua’s song. I will only think about participating if I hear that I have the skills to go to the talent show.

    But.

    “…What, did you set up a ringtone in the meantime?”

    Eun-bi said that and hung up the phone.

    After that, several text messages arrived.

    [ Sender: Go Eun-bi ]

    ▷ I’m leaving a message because you’re not answering the phone

    ▷ What happened to the talent show???

    ▷ And who is the singer for your ringtone?

    ▷ I’m hearing it for the first time, but the tone is no joke

    Sua was sure.

    “…This is amazing?”

    My singing skills have become very great.

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    The next day.

    Sua was filming ‘Lie, Lie, Lie’ again. In the play, Lim Soo-hee is a character who dies, but that doesn’t mean that filming is over.

    That’s because Seo Yeon-joo recalls Soo-hee’s appearance afterwards. Sua came to film those scenes.

    But, the atmosphere of the set was different than before.

    ‘What is it?’

    Sua tilted her head.

    That’s because everyone was whispering while looking at Sua. Then Yu Han-Sua quickly opened her mouth.

    ─At least they’re not looking at you with bad eyes. Rather, they seem to be much more expectant than before. I don’t know why.

    ‘Well, anyway, it’s not a bad thing.’

    Yu Han-Sua was assisting with most of the decisions because Sua’s brain had not yet recovered. Yu Han-highest!

    Anyway, the reason for the whispers was due to Yeon-joo’s words. After filming the climax, Yeon-joo explained to everyone who contacted her that it was Sua who gave the interpretation.

    ‘I heard Sua gave the climax interpretation.’

    ‘That’s really amazing….’

    ‘If Yeon-joo’s words are true, does that mean that Sua saved this work in the end? Is she really an angel….’

    Like that.

    Filming began while receiving everyone’s expectations.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    It is a scene in which Park Si-yeon (Yeon-joo) recalls the past.

    Yeon-joo and Sua have their first drinking party after becoming adults, and Yeon-joo gets drunk because she doesn’t know her alcohol tolerance. Thanks to this, I pour out all my inner thoughts.

    『Soo-hee, I’m really going to succeed. I’m going to live a life that everyone envies. I’m going to be that bitch of ‘that bitch who’s doing so well it’s annoying’. I will definitely become it….』

    Sua gazes at Yeon-joo like that.

    『Okay.』

    I parted my heavy lips.

    『Got it. I’ll make it happen for you.』

    Yeon-joo was drunk, but Sua was not. The staff are quietly admiring the subtle emotional line.

    ‘Has Sua’s pronunciation always been this clear?’

    ‘…Sua was originally good at acting, but something has changed. I feel like there’s more emotion in her voice?’

    ‘The depth of the pain is no joke….’

    In the meantime, Sua takes Yeon-joo home. After quietly watching Yeon-joo, who falls asleep lying sprawled out.

    『…Be happy. Park Si-yeon.』

    I gave a faint look. Then, in the end, the staff had to open their mouths. I couldn’t help but admire it.

    “It’s not a particularly long line, but it’s very faint. Did you put extra effort into it because it’s a flashback scene? It’s slightly different than before?”

    “It’s proof that he studies each line deeply. I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but it’s crazy when I actually see it.”

    “Where did you learn this kind of acting?”

    “I know it by self-study. It started as a hobby in the first place.”

    Everyone’s eyes widened at someone’s words.

    “…Hobby?”

    “Yes. Not only acting but every field is tried as a hobby, and I heard that she does everything well. She’s an ecosystem disruptor from overseas.”

    It’s a story that Sua would scratch her head about, but there was a person who listened to it with a proud heart more than anyone else. Who else but the Mystic CEO Kim Yi-seo.

    The moment Kim Yi-seo’s shoulders rose like a spire.

    ─♩♪♬

    A phone call came out of nowhere.

    “…Um?”

    Kim Yi-seo’s eyes widened when she saw the caller.
