Shocked by the character quality for a moment, I refocused on the broadcast.

Naturally, I became a bit curious about Seo Eun-ha receiving such an impressive character.

Of course, The Six didn’t intentionally elevate the quality of Seo Eun-ha’s character alone.

Looking at the other members’ characters, it was clear that everyone had put in their utmost effort.

The reason why Seo Eun-ha stands out with her top-notch quality is purely coincidental.

But still, I envy her!

I don’t have any attachment to characters, but I’m an artist, after all.

It’s impossible not to be drawn to well-crafted creations, and getting captivated means there’s something alluring about it.

Imagining us all heading to the company with Maho at the forefront, performing a show of force while watching the broadcast gave me a certain thrill.

However…

[My name is Seo Eun-ha, as written here! By the way, I’m the only one among the second-generation trainees with a three-letter name. Do you know why? Actually…]

Isn’t she speaking a bit too fast?

She made a good greeting, but it seems she’s nervous.

After all, Seo Eun-ha has just turned 21 and is a fresh newcomer to society, right?

Not to mention, without any broadcasting experience, it’s only natural to be on edge.

-???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Slow down, please.

-Breathe, just breathe.

It was evident that the viewers were equally flustered.

Having seen the previous mid-level newcomers, encountering a bona fide rookie seemed to throw them off balance.

But hey…

“Wow, she looks nervous.”

“Right? This will be funny to watch later.”

Given the member’s reactions, I didn’t see any major issues.

Is it a problem for a newcomer to make mistakes while being nervous?

Honestly, what could go wrong?

It’s expected for a rookie to make mistakes, and this fresh flavor is needed as well.

This is a broadcast, not a company.

Seo Eun-ha is a virtual YouTuber, not a corporate employee.

In this 2D world where mistakes can transform into excellent content, it didn’t seem too bad after all.

Continuing to watch Seo Eun-ha struggle with her nervous self-introduction, something suddenly popped into my mind and I glanced sideways.

Wait, isn’t Loa just a year older at 22 and smoothly running her broadcast after passing the first-generation audition without any significant mistakes?

If I account for my additional 21 years of life experience, Loa is truly a monster.

[My height is 156! Are you saying I’m too short? Well, this is the average in the women’s industry?!]

She has a good voice and a high-quality character, so she just looks cute overall.

Even taking the junior fan bias into account.

Moreover, entering the scene with a character of overwhelming quality in a mysterious ambiance, acting like a newbie in our industry is known as gap moe.

She may appear a bit clumsy, though.

[Uh, my specialty? Um… I do everything well!]

Look at that, from my perspective, that’s a verbal slip.

Even if I said something like that, it wouldn’t be as innocent coming from me.

-Oh

-ㄱㄱ

-Holding my breath until she shows us something

Right, of course, the viewers would be demanding something like that, wouldn’t they?

Unlike other mid-level newcomers, she’s a true rookie, which is why she’s bound to be flustered.

[Alright, I’ll give it a shot!]

Is this typical rookie behavior? She shouldn’t get swept up in the atmosphere.

If she shows something and it doesn’t meet expectations, the viewers are bound to be disappointed in their own ways.

This time, I can’t help her, sigh.

I’m getting nervous for no good reason.

But you know… it’s her first time, so it’s okay if the broadcast flops.

These moments will become memories in the future.

[Alright, I’ll start singing!]

And just like that, as Seo Eun-ha confidently announced she would sing, a prelude began to play.

Then afterward…

“She’s doing well!”

“Wow.”

Maho and Loa exclaimed in admiration.

Wait, she’s actually good?

Contrary to her earlier clumsiness, as soon as she started singing, she captured the atmosphere perfectly.

The singing… was definitely good.

From the start, her voice was exceptional, and it clearly showed that she had put effort into her vocal training.

I listened intently as I took another look at Seo Eun-ha, and once the song finished…

[Nex, uh, should I draw something?]

She can draw too?

As for drawing…

Even if she can sing, drawing to a high standard isn’t an easy task…

[Here’s everything I’ve drawn so far!]

Um… she drew it well?

Of course, she’s no Miro-level masterpiece from the Celestial Realm.

Nevertheless…

“Wow.”

“She draws well.”

It was enough to make the two members next to me admire her.

[Next, I’ll speak in Japanese!]

“Is there more?”

“What’s up with her?”

I sat down and watched this rookie’s talents unfold.

Wait, is she really only 21?

I see why my manager has high expectations for her.

She seems to have a ton of potential.

Thus, I continued to watch Seo Eun-ha’s broadcast.

She stuttered a lot and struggled with pacing due to her nerves, but in the Celestial Realm, it’s a position where such things don’t exist…

So, there’s no way she won’t garner attention.

So, after her debut broadcast, where I found so many things captivating, ended,

“Wow, she’s amazing!”

After the broadcast concluded, Maho exclaimed sincerely, and I shared my thoughts accordingly.

“Right? I heard she’s young, but her talent… it’s completely unfair.”

“What?”

At my observation, Maho looked at me strangely.

“Huh? Did I say something weird?”

“No, it just doesn’t seem like something you’d say…”

“I’m different from her.”

Comparing a hybrid who has lived twice as long as her peers to a newly minted junior is quite nonsensical.

“She’s doing fine.”

“Let’s see the last friend.”

Seo Eun-ha made a strong impression, but there’s still one more left.

Her name is Gan.

[Hello-]

The last newcomer from the Celestial Realm, with nature-reminiscent light green hair and a floral crown, had a wholesome vibe.

This was a feeling that clearly had not existed in the Celestial Realm until now, so it felt refreshingly new.

Anna might have a semblance, but… maybe a bit different?

Anyway, honesty speaking, in light of Seo Eun-ha’s earlier impression, Gan did just fine.

After finishing watching the shockingly entertaining second-generation broadcasts,

“By the way, are we really okay?”

Maho, who originally viewed the newcomers as merely cute, shared her thoughts. She must have felt a bit stimulated.

Even if she’s a junior, we share the pie equally.

But it wouldn’t do to get overshadowed by a fellow first-year.

It’s somewhat shocking, but… it shouldn’t be enough to flip a year of experience upside down.

“I’ll get up now.”

And it wasn’t just Maho who felt stimulated.

Loa stood up as well, and I followed suit.

Time to head home.

I also need to go live.

***

I quickly returned home.

Normally, I would have called my manager to complain about the significant differences between our avatars, but maybe because I watched the other newbies’ broadcasts?

At the moment, I just felt like I wanted to stream.

I can’t let my seniors lose.

Well, it’s been two days since I last went live, and I have to give my impressions, after all.

As for the title… um… yeah, this works.

[Everyone, gather under me!]

-Oh

-Hey hey

-Miro has arrived

-How did you find the second-generation trainees??

-Gathering hype

-You went live quickly

“Ah, hello?”

-Yeah yeah

-Hey

“Let me warm up my voice and chat for a bit while I wait for the viewers to settle in.”

After some casual chit-chat, I waited for the viewers to fill the crowd.

Well, these days they fill up quickly, so I don’t need to wait too long.

Moreover, it seems like people wandering around after the second-generation relay debut broadcast have wandered in.

While chatting, we naturally veered the topic.

“By the way, have you all watched the new trainees’ broadcasts?”

-Yeah

-Did you catch it?

-I watched

-I didn’t see it

-Watched

Looking at the chat ratio, it seems quite a few have seen it. Well, it makes sense since it’s the weekend and no other members were on air, so it could safely be called a rookie debut broadcast binge.

“How was it?”

-It was good

-It was alright.

-The looks are top-notch, haha.

-I plan to go visiting them from now on, haha.

The responses show that it seems to have been received fairly well by the audience.

Well, they clearly prepared a lot.

[Thanks for the 1,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]

After seeing the fresh new trainees, this one suddenly looked a bit shabby, haha.

“Hey now, saying something like that might lead to trouble.”

Shabby? This guy?

-LOL

-Whoa

-For real, lolololol

-You not going to change your character?

-Since I’ve seen them a lot, shouldn’t I switch it up soon?

“Switch it up? This is my face, you know!”

Do these people think they can just randomly swap out virtual avatars?

Once you debut, you have to maintain a certain form.

-At least get a new outfit or something.

-Get a lot of costumes like that Anna from the neighboring place.

-How about a remake?

-Ask The Six to make one for you.

The bait shifted towards my avatar.

Oh man, this is quite the dilemma.

It’d be a bit inappropriate to voice complaints about my avatar here.

If I express dissatisfaction on the broadcast and then call the company, it’s turning into something like a show of force rather than just a simple complaint.

Even if they agree to address my concerns, there’s a chance the vibe from their side might sour a bit.

“Looks like everyone’s eyes are on the second-generation characters… who did you like the most?”

So, I twisted the subject slightly.

By the way, if the viewers are saying this much, it seems the differences are genuinely noticeable?

As for me, I think it’s good.

Isn’t the technology from The Six improving?

If that’s the case, I should also upgrade my own appearance.

-Second-gen? They were all good.

-Seo Eun-ha.

-Haeil, for sure!

-Seolha was great too.

-Give it up for Seo Eun-ha!

First things first, we have to touch on the topic regarding the second-generation trainees.

A flood of viewers’ favorite new characters’ names appeared in the chat.

Clearly, Seo Eun-ha was coming up a lot.

Well, the character had to be exceptionally well-crafted to stand out, right?

Had she just been a standard character like the others, she’d have received attention anyway, but with an eye-catching character,

she might dominate the spotlight among the second-gen trainees.

This aspect could become quite challenging for her.

After all, solo prominence isn’t that easy.

I also know from my own experiences.

I heard one of her many talents is gaming too.

When I find the time, maybe I should team up with Haeil and give her the rundown on Miro games.

[Thanks for the 5,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]

Miro, how do you see the second generation?

At that moment, a question was directed at me.

“Second generation, huh? Hmm….”

The second generation.

Before stating that they’re cute, I should mention the impressions I gathered from their broadcasts…

“They’re quite audacious, huh? Gathering everyone…”

-Whoa

-A big shot here.

-Miro has aged, hasn’t she…

“When I was around, things were different~ Huh?”

While I was rambling, just as I was about to critique the second generation members one by one,

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Seolha!]

Sorry for being so presumptuous! I’m looking forward to working with you!

With a lively sound, a donation arrived.

“Seolha? Is this for real?”

Is it genuine?

-Whoa

-I’m Haeun and yes, that’s definitely Seolha, haha.

-For real, she’s really here!

-I’m Haeil, and I hit the recommendation button.

Could it just be a prank by a viewer?

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Haeun!]

Looking forward to working with you, senior!

Next, I received a donation from Haeun.

What’s with this?

At this point, I couldn’t ignore it even if I wanted to.

Going into the management window and checking the donation list…

“What’s this? They’re all real?!”

It wasn’t just some random viewer pretending—this was really a donation from Seolha and Haeun!

“Why are you all watching my broadcast instead of resting after your debut?”

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Haeil!]

Let’s play a game together next time!

Before I could finish my sentence, another donation from Haeil came in.

Looks like they all conspired to show their greetings on my broadcast…

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Harbin!]

Thank you for watching my broadcast today!

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Seo Eun-ha!]

I love you, senior!

Seo Eun-ha’s donation sent chills down my spine.

That was just out of courtesy, right?

-Whoa

-Miro’s rookie gathering.

-They really came together for this.

“Oh, this wasn’t my doing.”

What do they think I am?

The juniors came on their own accord, you know?

[Thanks for the 10,000 won donation, Gan!]

I will properly greet you next time!

In the meantime, the last donation from the second-generation trainee Gan arrived.

“Oh… I’m really grateful and deeply touched. Let me get my manager.”

And with all the managers gifted, it became easier to manage the viewer dashboard.

“I’m honored to have the juniors all in my room!”

-Whoa

-Miro has truly become a senior now.

-Mighty Miro.

“Alright then, let’s…”

Since it’s now neatly sorted, I right-clicked on Seolha’s ID at the top.

Click!

And just like that, I booted her out.

-???

-Hahaha

-See you later, lol.

“You can come back after I share my impressions.”

I’m grateful for everyone showing up, but…

I really need to discuss my thoughts on the second-generation trainees now.

But it’s difficult to do so if they’re present, right?

“It truly feels like a bittersweet moment…”

With that, embodying Zhuge Liang’s composed restraint, I kicked out the six juniors.
