[Wow, Senior!!]

[Nice to meet you, Miro!]

For a moment, the sudden chase had come to a halt.

In the end, I was caught by the third-year students.

Moreover, it didn’t stop there; I was forcibly relocated to the third-year voice chat room.

“Haha… Nice to meet you.”

[I missed you!!]

[It was fun watching the broadcast!!]

“Ah, yes, yes….”

– Hahaha

– Why are the third-year students so cute?

– They’re adorable, lol

They chatter with me like baby birds, all in a flurry.

The only familiar face, Rain, had exchanged spots with me, heading to the first-year Discord room since I was here.

I imagined she was suffering too.

While the attention of my juniors felt heavy, the weight of my seniors’ attention was even heavier.

[Senior, I really wanted to talk to you!]

[Don’t run away!]

But everyone’s voices were indeed distinctive.

Among the Celestial Realm members, who has an ordinary voice? Yet, the third-years felt even more unique somehow.

The first-years probably had the most average voices, right?

The second-years were all mixed up.

[Senior, come sit here…!]

What’s more, the third-years seemed to absolutely adore me.

I found myself unexpectedly sitting down at the assigned seat for the third-years on the first floor instead of the second floor.

[(Anna) – Thank you all for attending the party today.]

As I was being hassled, I noticed Anna typing away.

Is the event truly about to begin?

Honestly, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything major planned.

– Hahaha

– Look at the third-years gathering

– Miro is sealed, lol

It seems like the viewers are satisfied with just this.

Well, if they like it, that’s good enough for me.

[Miro, please look here!]

“Ah, yes….”

[Squee.]

– I might faint

– Is she an actual idol? Lol

– Miro can’t even move, lol

Anyway, as I received the cheers from the third-years, I watched Anna facilitating the chat.

As soon as it turned into a free conversation time, I immediately stood up and fled.

[Huh!]

[Where are you going!]

“I’m going to the bathroom!”

– ????

– Lol, is there even a bathroom here?

– Hey, are you running away while leaving your juniors behind?

“No, it’s not that I’m running away… Oh dear, the attention is quite overwhelming.”

[Senior, your mic is still on…?]

“Oh dear.”

– Hahahahaha

– Now she’s openly saying it

– Miro/Controversy

– Bear the weight of being a senior

“What do you mean bear? Juniors are wonderful. Right now is just free communication time, so I’m just stepping aside, not running away.”

[…Senior, your mic is still on.]

“Hahaha, I’m heading to another room now.”

– This girl is intentionally not turning it off, lol

– She’s speaking while keeping the mic on, Mikakola

– Backtalking is definitely Mihwang, lol

Anyway, finally escaping the third-year voice chat room.

Now I was observing various separated chat rooms.

Where should I go next?

As I contemplated, I spotted a familiar group gathering in one room.

Ding!

[Oh, Miro’s here.]

[Miro, did you come?]

“What are you all doing? Miro Family members.”

The people gathered here were Loa, Harbin, and Rain.

It felt exactly like a gathering of those I had become close with in the Miro Family.

– Wow, wow, wow

– Miro Family assembly

– Even here with the nonsense, lol

Oh dear, nonsense?

Usually, such parties are for people who know each other.

[Miro, did you have fun with the third-year juniors?]

“….”

– Why aren’t you speaking?

– You had fun? Well, sure, lol

– Look at Loa trying to come up with a story, lol

Anyway, I thought I could catch my breath here, so I went in with the Mark character to sit down with the Miro Family.

First, I need to casually munch on some snacks.

As I was grabbing a few snacks from the actual desk, I heard.

[Oh, Miro.]

“Yes?”

[When are we holding our company dinner?]

“Dinner? Ah….”

Loa asked about a Miro Family dinner.

Speaking of which, Jeong-hoon had mentioned wanting to hold it after the entrance exams, but it got postponed somehow.

There’s just too much being delayed.

Not just the dinner, but it’s been quite a while since we talked about health check-ups with no updates.

Is our Manager busy, causing all these delays?

“We’ll probably have the dinner soon.”

– Are we having a dinner?

– Is there a chance of a night broadcast then?

– Can we join too?

“Night broadcast? I don’t think so.”

What if something goes wrong while drinking and broadcasting?

I wouldn’t be the only one drinking; it would be a big deal if the other members had to show their faces.

Besides, the Miro Family doesn’t consist only of streamers either.

I think Lee Kang-jun or Jeong-hoon might come to the dinner, right?

I feel like the viewers wouldn’t like that.

Ah, but since Jeong-hoon is still in school, it should be fine, right? He hasn’t graduated yet.

– Me

– Rock

– Hey, turn it on

– Can’t we just have a joint broadcast?

In conclusion, no matter how much they pleaded, a night broadcast wouldn’t happen.

“I’ll share stories after I get back.”

At that moment, while finishing up the dinner talk.

Ding, ding, ding.

A bunch of people rushed into the Discord voice chat room.

[What, what’s this.]

[I brought the juniors!]

[Miro! Where did you go!]

Looking at the Discord room, it seemed Anna had led the third-years over.

[Hey Rain! Why are you hogging the senior all to yourself!]

[Me? It wasn’t my doing!]

As the peers started to corner her immediately, Rain quickly cut me off.

…Looks like some politics going on, is it genetic?

Well, anyway…

“Oh dear, there are so many people now.”

Guess it was time to run again.

As I exited the chat room, the Mark character also made a run for it.

– Flee

– Haha, entertain the juniors a little, will you?

– The third-years really love Miro, huh?

I ran straight to the next room, where some second-years and Maho were.

I wonder what they were talking about.

Ding!

I entered the chat room.

[Oh? Miro’s here?]

[Miro, did you come?]

“What were you all talking about?”

The lineup of Maho and the second-years?

What were they even discussing?

[Us? We’re having a debate about cats and dogs.]

“What?”

[We’re debating which is better to keep as pets.]

…Why are we having that kind of debate at a party?

– Hahahaha

– That’s a cute debate

– Isn’t it about dogs?

– Cats are…

[Oh, Miro-senpai, you have a dog, right? What do you think?]

Haeil, who had previously visited my house, asked that.

She must be talking about Bok-sil, huh? Hmm….

“Bok-sil? Nowadays, he’s not very affectionate.”

[Oh.]

She’s been quite indifferent since the last visit.

She doesn’t refuse to be petted, but she seems a bit sulky.

– Hahahaha

– Look at how this pet is answering

– Saw that on a variety show, haha

– It’s because you don’t take her for walks!

[Um… still, don’t you think there are good things about having a pet?]

“They’re cute.”

[Right?]

“They’re warm too.”

[Huh?]

“It’s cold lately.”

When I sometimes place her on my lap while I’m in the living room, it’s super warm.

– Oh no;;

– Is your dog a hot pack??

– Miro/Abuse

– Don’t raise pets like that!

“Hahaha… Everything I said until now was a joke; it is nice to have them around.”

– Joke?

– This guy looks like he’d really do it…

– The previous episode had good flavor!

– He’d probably compete with a dog for dominance, haha

[Oh… So would you recommend a dog, Miro?]

“No? If you’re going to keep one, get a cat.”

[Huh? Why?]

“Does everyone think they’ll take them for walks well? My mom forces me to take her for walks all the time.”

[Ah….]

Dogs need to be walked every day.

Would these homebody streamers manage that?

They’d all probably struggle immensely.

If that’s the case, might as well get a cat.

[Hmm, cats are nice.]

[Totally. Cats are super cute.]

[You’re great with cats, aren’t you?]

After mentioning that dogs need daily walks, the discussion group was silenced.

Come on, how are these people having a debate like this?

– Hahahaha

– None of you can say they’ll walk them!

– Miro, you should go for a walk too, lol

– Big mommy,ㅠㅜ

Anyway, moving on.

Afterward, we sat in this room and debated some more.

The third-years… Anna seemed to be juggling things everywhere.

As some time passed,

[(Anna) – Everyone, please come to the third floor!]

Anna typed, and started breaking down the wall blocking the second floor.

– ????

– Why are they breaking the wall?

– Whoa, what’s going on?

When the wall was broken down, another staircase appeared.

I couldn’t help but admire the scene.

How long did this take to make?

“Let’s go check it out.”

So I went up the stairs with the people who were debating.

“Wow.”

I was amazed again at the space we stepped into.

The first and second floors were party venues, but the third floor was decorated like an internal concert hall.

– What the heck? Lol

– This is insane, haha

– How much effort went into this? Lol

While I admired along with the viewers,

[(Anna) – Now, let’s move to the Unified Call Room!]

Anna typed that, and we moved to the group call room.

I expected it to be noisy upon entering, but surprisingly, it was quieter than I anticipated.

It seemed everyone was muted, waiting for Anna to speak.

Being streamers, they sure are quick to pick up on things.

I too muted my mic and waited for the announcement from Anna.

[Now that everyone is here, should we hold a concert?]

“Wow, a concert.”

– This is the year-end concert, right?

– Wow haha

– Will there be guests?

“But who’s going to sing?”

– Huh? Lol

– There are plenty of people here, lol

– Anyone can just jump in and sing a track!

“Oh.”

Right! During the party, the Celestial Realm members said they would sing too, didn’t they?

Thinking back, I’d totally forgotten and didn’t bring anything prepared.

[Well, shall we have the first-years go first?]

[Wow, singing!!]

[They’re going to sing!]

[Mikiiyaaaak!!]

But seeing them so excited, I really can’t say no to this…

“But who’s going to go out first?”

I understood it would be the first-years, but who would go first….

[Miro, have you forgotten the Celestial Realm tradition?]

“The Celestial Realm tradition?”

Was there one?

After a moment of pondering…

“Oh.”

Now that I think about it…

[What are you doing, youngest! Hurry up and go on stage.]

…Is this place arranged by seniority?

“Sigh.”

– Hahaha

– Hahahahaha

– If you’re mad, just age like Anna, lol

– Might as well go up, right?

I sighed and went up to the stage.

Alright.

Time to show the dignity of a senior.
