-She's a bit more than rookie level though.
-Can't hate her looks, lol.
-For real, lol.
[Miro’s Red Pill Other Members' Reactions?]
The celestial kids who went live yesterday must be there.
-If they mention it in the room, they’re getting banned.
-For real?

-Damn, what?

[The Year-End Live Starts]
(Link)
Hurry and go, let’s go, go, go, go!
-Gonna go.
-I’m already waiting.
[Starting with Group Songs, lol]
The celestial realm songs are definitely well-made.
-You can tell they put in effort for the first album, lol.
-It’s hitting hard for no reason.
[But for real, Miro has Improved a Lot]
Why does she sing better than the audio when doing group songs?
-For real, lol.
-She’s definitely in growth mode, yep.
[But Anna <— Truly a GOAT]
She just crushes it entering with her first solo song, lol.
-The first generation is just different.
-But she’s still the best, yep.
-With Miro, Anna is the queen.
[Going in Order of Age?]
Anna, then Mile.
-The age order in the celestial realm is totally unfair, lol.
-Yep, start with Anna, then nicely break it with Miro.
[I Only Paid Attention to Miro, But the Others Are Good Too]
The songs slap.
-They sing well, yep.
-They all passed the audition from the start.
-Info: Miro almost got eliminated.
-For real?
-Yep, there was a controversy about how loosely the show was handled.
-How did they do that?
-Just like now, lol.
[Viewers Reacting to Miro's Entrance, DDDDD]
Her entrance is clearly different.
-What’s different? It’s the same.
-Guess so, damn it, lol.
-So that character has the red pill inside, huh?
-For real...
[How to Enjoy the Year-End Live Twice as Much]
(Miro’s Group Photo)
(Full body shot of Miro in a variety show wearing a hat)
Just think that this person is dancing inside.
-Wow, lol.
-That’s something I can't stop laughing at, lol.
-She really outshone her character, lol.
[Foreign Guest Started Streaming, lol]
A Japanese person made it this far, just a total Miro fan.
-For real, lol.
-They actually showed up, lol.
-This girl just really loves Miro, lol.
-And she sings really well.
-For real, is she really this good?
-You can definitely feel she's different.
[What Is This, Is It the Last Track?]
Are they just gonna end after this group song?
-For real?
-Guess so?
-Where’d the time go? Damn it.
-It’s already past 12.
[Ah, damn it, this year is ending]
Still, if it weren't for the celestial kids, it would've been a bummer, lol.
-What a bummer, lol.
-Will be counting on next year!
-I've been unable to get a job because of these kids, yep.
-For real...
[???: Did you all have fun?]
(The Six logo)
So far, that was The Six.
-Wow, lol.
-Just a GOAT.
-“The world’s best company.”
-These guys are just seriously committed to being VTubers, yep.
[Ugh, damn it, lol, why does this feel so grand?]
If this were a year ago, I’d think it was so cringy, but it feels grand for no reason.
-Are you too? lol.
-Feeling it, for sure.
-For real, time is scary.
[Watching the Year-End Live Makes Me Realize Miro is Amazing]
(Miro's Group Photo)
Just showing her face alone could mean instant success, turning from a simple VTuber face to this level of success, I realize how amazing Miro truly is, lol.
-For real, lol.
-It’s a true mystery why VTubers work so hard?
-Truth is, they don’t even work that hard, lol.
-Oh, right, lol.
-The lazy ones still manage to do their thing, despite being lazy...
-Miro's red pill looks pretty every time I see it, lol.
-Great Miro.
[Miro Just Likes Being a VTuber, lol]
After watching today, I figured it out.
This girl just enjoys being a VTuber, lol.
-For real, lol. Just for fun.
-She’s totally in enjoy-gaming mode.
-So that’s why it looks good.
-Another Miro worship? Damn it, I can't sleep.
[So, Has Miro Not Gone Live Today?]
Could you please turn it on, just once?
-For real, should do a live recap.
-Probably going to go live soon.
***
The year-end live has ended.
“Ugh... I did well.”
“Ah, why am I crying?”
“Ugh... Thanks, guys, you did great.”
The members are already in a sea of tears.
Watching, Anna started crying first, and naturally everybody followed in age order.
Even the last one, Loa, was sniffling, but I didn't cry.
Why would I? If it went well, I should be excited.
The final viewer count not surpassing 100,000 is a bit disappointing, but... well, there will be more lives ahead.
Still, the record-breaking performance doesn’t change.
“Ugh.”
I stood up and stretched a bit.
After sitting for nearly two hours, my back was stiff.
Looking at the time, it just passed midnight.
I finally became twenty-two.
“Cough, need a tissue…”
“It's finally over…”
I looked at the members still lingering in the afterglow of tears and chuckled softly while putting on my coat.
“Does Soo-hyun have a shop?”
At that, Anna, who had red eyes, asked, and the gazes of the other members naturally turned toward me.
What’s going on? Why is everyone staring?
“Well, we should go, right?”
“We can sleep over…”
“I’ll turn on the live. Didn’t go live yesterday, so I’m thinking of doing a year-end live recap.”
“Oh…”
Upon mentioning going live, Anna didn’t press further.
“Aren't you all going live? We worked hard, so let’s get some congratulations from the viewers and tell some stories.”
“Um…”
“Right?”
These people...
Still aren’t pros, huh? On days like this, going live is a must.
“I, I should wake up too.”
“Oh, then I will too.”
“What? Everyone’s going to the shop?”
As the members all stood up, Anna looked around in confusion.
Well, maybe Anna had plans for a pajama party with the members, but we are broadcasters, aren't we?
The after-party is with the viewers.
“Well then, I’m off. Hurry and put on your coats, sis.”
“Uh, okay.”
With that, I gathered Maho and stepped outside to catch a taxi.
In the taxi on the way home.
Still lost in thought, Maho, whose nose was red with lingering emotions, asked me.
“How are you, Soo-hyun?”
“Oh, me?”
“Uh, you seem relieved since everyone finished.”
Relieved… well, I see it differently.
“Isn’t this not the last one? Rather than relieved, we have to do even better next time.”
This one was a huge success.
For me, it’s more of a sense of achievement than relief.
And with that thought comes the idea that we can do even better next time.
“Ah… I see, there’s a next time…”
“Were you thinking of not doing it?”
“Ah, no? We have to, right?”
“Exactly! Next time we should also bring along the second-generation juniors.”
Can’t let them slack off.
They need some dance lessons too.
We’ve already learned, so we can coast along a bit.
“Oh, Soo-hyun, you’re so like yourself.”
“That’s how I always am.”
As we talked, the taxi soon arrived at our house.
“Then I’m going now.”
“Okay, take care.”
So I got out of the taxi, opened the main gate, and walked past the snowy yard into the house.
“Cough!”
“Oh my, you haven’t slept?”
Now that it's the new year, even at this late hour, Bok-sil is full of energy, so I briefly petted her, then greeted my parents watching TV in the living room before doing a quick wash-up and heading into my room.
“Ahhh.”
Lying on the bed for a moment to relieve my fatigue, I immediately bounced back up.
“Time to go live.”
If I don’t go live today, there might really be a riot.
But by now, the other members might have started their lives one by one?
Probably since the year-end live just ended, they’ve received loads of congratulations and praise from the viewers.
Hoping the same for myself, I stepped into the soundproof booth.
Turning on the computer, I quickly set up the broadcast and pondered for a moment about what to title it.
What should I use?
After a brief thought, I clicked away and typed it out.
[In the Pocket, the Red Pill Miro]
It’s completely like the needle in my pocket has now burst through, but the meaning still fits loosely.
With that, I started the live stream and instantly saw people flooding in, with chats rising up.
-Finally turned it on.
-Wow.
-Damn, you’re late.
-Cam on, cam on, cam on, cam on!
-If you love Miro, give a thumbs up, lol.
-Watched well today.
-Please, turn on the cam.
-Year-end live was amazing.
-Explain why you didn’t go live yesterday.
-If you just leave again today, we’re really gonna die.
“Phew.”
...I couldn't help but let out a faint chuckle while looking at the chaotic chat room.
This is the reaction after watching the year-end live? That’s all after so much preparation?
Oh well, I didn’t really expect the same kinds of chats as the other members.
But still...
"Everyone, quiet down."
-Whoa.
-Oop.
-What?
“Ah, nice to meet you.”
This is how I think a Miro broadcast should be.
-What’s so nice, damn it?
-Not nice at all.
-Please explain.
-Dating Slim Gold?
-Let's hear the stories from the year-end live.
-Tell us the behind-the-scenes for the original track music video!
It’s always been like this.
“Thanks for waiting long! This game’s on sale, you know?”
-Damn it!
-For real.
-I’m sorry...
-No, that doesn’t...
-Just show me once...
Probably, it’ll keep being like this.
