Chapter 123


[Sudden broadcast by Miro 😱]

(Link)

She turned on YouTube!

-Seriously?

-No, no, you didn’t turn it on, idiot.

-Stop!

-Ah, my dear mother of frustration!

-No, I’m serious!

[No, you freaking guys!]

Miro went live!

-Is Miro broadcasting?

-Yeah, yeah.

-I didn’t get a notification;

-She turned it on YouTube.

-No way I missed that!

-Just give it 3 minutes.

-?

-Miro’s mad now;

[Today’s summary of Miro’s broadcast]

Said hi and turned it off.

-?

-Seriously?

-Those little snot-noses provoked her!

[What made me feel Miro is really a unique one]

(Miro’s League of Legends record)

She’s currently in ARAM!

-What? She’s in ARAM?

-She’s not mad; she’s just keeping it professional!

-See? Why provoke her? Sigh!

-Just broadcast it while you’re at it!

[Is Miro really not turning on her broadcast?]

With Miro’s personality, it seems like she’ll just say, “ah, you idiots,” and not turn it on. That’s annoying;

-We’ll see tomorrow.

-There’s nothing to watch today, you idiot!

-Why are you cursing?

-You!

-With Miro’s personality, while playing ARAM, she’ll just think, “What should I do now?” and turn it back on.

-This dude really knows! 😂

-Yeah, she’ll probably turn it on if she loses in ARAM.

-How many years has it been for her?

[Miro turned her broadcast back on ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

(Link)

This time it’s real!

-Oooh

-What’s this?

-How many games did she play in ARAM?

-1 win and 1 loss, then she came.

[Karaoke broadcast incoming LOL]

Wow, how many years has it been?

-For real.

-This is it! 😂

-So good! 😂

-But why is it a ballad?

-She sang a ballad for her first karaoke too.

-Last solo karaoke was also a ballad.

-No way, is she only singing ballads?

-No, no, it’s just that she rarely sings!

-Oh my god, 😂

[Wow, Miro was this good?]

For real, she’s kicking the butts of many mediocre Korean singers.

-She’s always been good.

-But was she this good?

-You wouldn’t know since she doesn’t sing much;

-She is getting better, too. She said she practices sometimes.

-Miro practices?

-She’s unexpectedly hardworking, yeah; just not singing on broadcast is the issue.

-She’s thinking about her ex-boyfriend~

-You!

-You punk!

[YouTube viewers <— The real downside]

Miro prepared a karaoke broadcast, but these idiots didn’t notice and are freaking out! ]

-For real, just a bunch of idiots.

-Sigh, Miro is protected by Dwitch, yeah.

-There was a reason she played ARAM twice, lol.

-Yeah, she really was just Dwitch and played ARAM first, then turned it back on, haha.

[K-Pop incoming LOL]

“I will sing for my seniors.”

-Seniors, my foot! 😂

-Is Miro really singing?

-Yeah, yeah, what are you doing not watching?

-Not sure, but is Miro good at singing?

-(Link)

-OH, what is this? 😂

-Hahaha!

-K-Pop suits her well.

-She’s super versatile!

[Now a band song is coming in LOL]

Miro was acting like she wouldn’t do anything, but once money was involved, she did it all, haha.

-Oho!

-What’s the subject?

-Got PPAP!

[What song is she singing now?]

I’ve never heard it, but it’s good!

-You don’t know Slim Gold?

-What’s that?

-Ugh, you buffoon!

-It’s Slim Gold’s representative song!

-The representative song is Wonderland, you idiot!

-No way, this is the title, but Wonderland fans are still here?

-You idiots go fight in your gallery, you fools. Just talk about Miro here!

-Don’t even talk about Miro, get out of here, you bastard!

-Yeah, Dwitch already ate everything, hahaha.

-That girl went to YouTube, didn’t she?

-But it suits her well.

-For real, it sounds good!

[Foreigners in the gallery LOL]

That “Japanese” guy came by.

-He came right in with his territory, lol!

-Why does he like Miro so much?

-Because Miro looks like a K-pop idol, the theory of mixing becomes established, yeah.

-For real…

-That theory is just your wishful thinking!

[Wow, a million won LOL]

(Miro’s YouTube super chat list)

A big Japanese company went big, lol!

-Wow! 😂

-?? It’s 100,000 won, though?

-No, it’s 100,000 yen, idiot!

-This guy is real, haha.

-Isn’t this Miro’s first million won?

-For real? Surprising, I thought she would have received more.

-Just Miro’s broadcast doesn’t get much donation.

-Yeah, yeah, for a Euro message feeling, donations go down in Loa’s broadcast more!

-What kind of a person is Loa?

-Just a crazy chick! 😂

[Foreigners singing <— Why does it sound so good? 😂]

Miro is singing terribly, but it sounds good!

-For real, it’s unexpectedly good! 😂

-Just Miro <— her vocal tone is an ace, she starts off strong!

-For real, no one can match Miro’s voice!

-When she sings, she’s really pretty but a total punk!

-For real!

-That one has over ten million views!

-For real?

-That song in the Celestial Realm is on fire…

-Damn, the level is different!

[Second million won from a foreigner]

I love Miro so much, haha!

-For real, why does he like her so much?

-I prefer to show reactions than refuse.

-That’s indeed better.

[When will this karaoke broadcast actually end?]

Doesn’t Miro usually stop broadcasting in 1-2 hours?

How many hours have we been going?

-For real… this is taking forever! 😂

-So good!

-Her vocal cords seem super strong; she’s not losing her voice after all this.

-Why hasn’t she sung for so long if she’s that strong?

-Miro isn’t avoiding it; she’s just not doing it.

-For real, there’s no reason to, you punk!

[I work in the music industry, but this definitely sounds like Miro!]

(Featuring part of Wonderland)

(Edited part of Miro’s song broadcast today)

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but after watching today’s broadcast, it’s really similar!

Even asking a senior I know, they acknowledged it too.

-Wow, it really is similar!

-Compare the singer and the virtual YouTuber, okay?

-She’s doing so well, so just take it easy!

-But really, it’s pretty similar.

-Yeah, Miro is better!

-For real! 😂

-Who’s featuring?

-Don’t know.

-?

-I really don’t know; she hasn’t revealed it.

-You buffoons really amuse me! 😂

If the Miro you idolize has connections and skills to feature Slim Gold, why is she even a virtual YouTuber? She should just be a real singer!

It’s gotten to the point of delusion, haha! Just dig your own graves!

-For real… you guys are just too funny! 😂

-You idiot, you never know!

-What do you not know? You flat-headed idiot! You don’t even know your own mother’s birthday!

-Yeah, provoke all you want! 😂

-You guys should leave, you idiots! 😂 This is Miro’s territory now!

-For real! 😂

***

A few days after singing live on YouTube,

Dwitch’s account was finally lifted, so I was pondering what to broadcast when I received an email from Hyeon-su.

He said he would revise it, but it took longer than I thought.

More than that… I’m a bit anxious checking this out?

It’s Miro’s first original song.

And it’s a song created by none other than Hyeon-su, who said it suited me well.

If you’re not excited, you don’t deserve to sing.

The subject of the email was simple.

[Calm Corridor]

A calm corridor… that must be the song title, right?

It’s a pretty emotional title, very much like Hyeon-su’s style.

“Hmm?”

But when I opened the email, there were three files.

One was an MR for me to use while recording.

Another was a guide vocal presumed to be sung by Hyeon-su himself.

And the last one was….

[Featuring part]

Featuring?

What is this?

Is there a separate implementation for the featuring part?

In that case, there’s no way a member from the Celestial Realm would… Nah, it can’t be.

In a moment of joyful delusion, I reminded myself that Hyeon-su isn’t that kind of person.

Thinking about it, it was ‘that’ Hyeon-su who created the song.

No matter how well I’m told it suits me, he wouldn’t miss leaving at least one part for himself, right?

Still, it’s unlikely… He’s not crazy.

Hiding my anxious feelings, I immediately opened the featuring file.

Thump-dung.

Opening the file, a part of the song begins to play.

A lively drum sound rings out for a moment, and then a familiar vocal that I’ve heard quite often breaks into the sound.

That vocal provides a compelling reasoning for how a mere 19-year-old boy became a rising star in South Korea’s music industry.

In simple terms, it sounded really nice.

I feel like if I uploaded this to YouTube Shorts right now, it would get around 100,000 likes.

So…

I really can’t imagine this being sung by anyone else.

So that means… ugh.

I immediately called Hyeon-su.

[Hello?]

“Hey, Hyeon-su, I checked the email.”

Hyeon-su, who answered the phone, seemed incredibly nonchalant.

I feel like the urge to give him a playful slap!

[Oh, you listened to the song? How was it? Isn’t it good? The guide vocal was me, so it lacks the flavor…]

“So… what’s up with the featuring?”

Is there an imminent riot?

Hyeon-su seems laid-back, but he’s still a young and handsome singer.

Besides, his stock is rising, so he must be gaining a huge female fandom, right?

Isn’t Maho just one of those fans?

For Hyeon-su to feature, Miro’s broadcast is small and precious.

[Ahaha, I thought it’d be nice to have it just in case.]

But Hyeon-su responded calmly to that.

“So….”

What should my response be now?

Thinking it over, I realized I’m just a freeloader receiving this song.

I did make the call, but complaining feels a bit out of place.

Plus, wouldn’t Hyeon-su’s featuring elevate the quality of the song by about three levels?

From Hyeon-su’s perspective, he did something good for me.

I couldn’t bear to be an ungrateful adult by whining here.

As I was choosing my words carefully in my mind, Hyeon-su spoke again.

[Aha, of course, I understand your position. I watch your broadcasts sometimes, so I know roughly.]

“You watch my broadcasts?”

[Yeah. Aren’t you curious?]

Ugh! Why the heck does he watch my broadcasts?

For a moment, my mind almost wavered but I quickly regained composure.

Miro’s broadcasts aren’t embarrassing, after all.

… Probably.

[But you know, it has Slim Gold in the songwriting and composition, right?]

“Uh… that’s true?”

[But wouldn’t it be better as a featuring? Initially, I randomly composed a song for a virtual YouTuber.]

That… is that so?

No, it’s different.

It’s not quite the same.

You could say I managed to snag the song in some way, but a featuring is a different matter entirely.

“That’s….”

I was trying to say something to Hyeon-su when…

[If we’re going to talk about it, shouldn’t I show you the best song possible?]

At that moment, I was momentarily speechless.

The best song.

That part hit me right in the brain.

Since it’s my first original song anyway.

Even if a storm comes later… what if the song is genuinely outstanding?

And honestly, what’s the worst that could happen?

I didn’t do anything wrong; just keep my mouth shut and play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game until it all fizzles away.

The aftermath might be momentary, but the song will remain forever.

[Well, if you prefer, you can use the featuring I sent as the guide vocal and get someone else to do it.]

“Is that okay?”

[Yeah, do as you please. But…]

“But?”

[Anyone you call won’t match what I can do, though?]

… This guy’s brimming with confidence.

But the kind of confidence without basis, so I couldn’t counter it.

Didn’t I see it too while I listened earlier? This is a featuring only Hyeon-su can pull off.

[Isn’t there no feedback on the song? You only mention the featuring.]

At that moment, Hyeon-su mentioned it with a hint of sulking.

Huh? That’s true?

It seems Hyeon-su thought I would comment on the song, but I only brought up the featuring.

“Ah… honestly, I just called about the featuring.”

[Then please listen to the song first. It won’t be too late even after hearing it all to decide, right?]

“That makes sense.”

[Then listen to the song fully and let me know. Oh, and it’d be nice if you let me know how it was too.]

“Okay, got it.”

I answered like that and ended the call.

… I feel like I just got manipulated by Hyeon-su?

But everything he’s doing is for my benefit, so… what can I say?

Anyway, I should listen to the song first.

I had a good feeling about it, but I wouldn’t know until I listened.

So I listened to the full version of ‘Calm Corridor,’ guided by Hyeon-su singing…

“Wow, damn.”

I decided to just go for it, regardless of the fallout.

I should have listened to the song right from the start.
