Chapter 152


The second day of the 2nd batch relay broadcast.

The community was already filled with excitement after seeing the new members from the previous day.

[Are all the remaining 2nd batch members coming out today?]

I thought they were pretty good yesterday, so I’m looking forward to it.

-ㅇㅇ

-Yeah, everyone else is coming today.

-Miro will definitely start the broadcast today, right?

No, for sure.

[Yesterday was legendary]

(Screenshot from Seolha’s chat)

Miro suppressed the chat with just two characters lol

-For real, it was hilarious lol

-After seeing the newcomers from the 2nd batch, Miro in the chat feels different, for sure ㅇㅇ

-The ghostly suppression is just too funny lol

[But seriously, their looks are unreal]

(Screenshot from Haeun’s broadcast)

This person really had amazing hair yesterday.

-For real, other people look good too, but personally, this one is insane.

No, I liked Haeil too.

-They sing well.

No, they’re definitely at Anna level.

No, that’s not it.

[Reasons why the 2nd batch sucks]

Miro hasn’t started broadcasting because of the 2nd batch broadcasts.

-For real lol

-Why didn’t the idiot come yesterday???

No, they’ll probably show up today.

[The 2nd batch broadcast has started]

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!

-Who is it?

No, it’s Harbin.

No, who’s that?

No, it’s a newcomer, so you wouldn’t know, you idiot.

No, isn’t Harbin the one who dropped out of the first batch?

[Harbin must be very confused lol]

If they hadn’t dropped out of the audition back then, they’d be a senior by now lol

-Can’t be helped; it’s a lack of ability ㅇㅇ

No, that’s true.

-Yeah, Harbin dropped out, and Miro made it lol

No, The Six has some serious standards lol

[Harbin’s character isn’t particularly special]

Yesterday, the kids had a grand natural vibe, but this one feels a bit plain.

-But still, the quality is way better than the first batch.

-No, that’s true, lol

-They should stick to their character.

[Harbin is definitely doing well]

Not nervous and seems smooth ㅇㅇ

-Doesn’t have that newcomer feel.

-No, the 2nd batch doesn’t come off as newcomers overall.

-No, wasn’t the first batch similar?

-No, Miro was a newcomer, but

-No, Miro performed really well for a newcomer ㅇㅇ

[Seo Eun-ha, what’s her background?]

She looks like she’s in some kind of universe.

-For real lol

-Why does her name have three syllables?

No, for real.

-Seeing her name, the space concept feels likely.

-No, yeah, the 2nd batch has a theme.

-No, why doesn’t Harbin?

No, she gives off a 1.5 batch vibe ㅇㅇ

[Wow, holy shit lol]

(Screenshot from Seo Eun-ha’s broadcast)

What’s with the quality? It’s insane.

-??? What is this?

No, it’s the 2nd batch of The Six.

-No, wow lol

-Ugh, those bastard Vtubers

-This is insane.

-What the hell lol

[Looking back at the 1st batch at this point]

(Screenshot from Seo Eun-ha’s broadcast)

(Profiles of the heavenly realm 1st batch)

Just… ^kinda shabby^ lol

-Wow, this comparison really stings.

-This is what they were like? lol

-The 1st batch isn’t so bad, but the 2nd batch is just too good.

-I might redo it.

No, will you really?

No, who knows with The Six.

[But is this one a total newcomer?]

The character is high quality but she’s really nervous.

-You can tell her voice is younger lol, might be in Miro’s age range.

-No, Miro didn’t act like that.

-No, if it’s Miro ㅇㅇ

-On the contrary, her newcomer vibe feels fine.

[Ugh, seriously]

Watching the 2nd batch makes me feel so cringy; at least Miro was better lol

I can’t handle it.

I feel embarrassed, damn it.

-For real lol

-It’s just you, idiot.

-It’s watchable.

-Don’t the 1st batch feel like that?

[Wow, what’s with Seo Eun-ha?]

She looks kind of clueless, but she sings well.

-Her voice is nice.

-She’s a Vtuber, of course she has to be good at it.

No, she also draws well.

-No, if she’s a Vtuber, she ought to draw well too.

-No? She’s good at games too.

-No, as a Vtuber, she should be good at games too.

-No way.

[Honest opinion) Isn’t Seo Eun-ha unlucky? Not like Miro?]

(Miro’s original song link)

(Miro’s drawing from an ad broadcast)

(Miro’s gaming highlights)

What? She sings well? Draws well? Plays games well?

“So she’s better than Miro?”

No?

(Miro’s group photo)

“So she’s prettier than Miro?”

-Come on, lol

-Damn, here comes Miro again…

-Rethinking how amazing Miro is lol

-That goth Miro plays: Civilization, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

No, damn it lol

No, she’s just a terrible person lol

[The 2nd batch is just a struggle with Miro]

They’ll be compared to Miro in everything they do lol

How can a hobby Vtuber take on Miro?

-For real, Miro just enjoys this.

-If you wanted to complain, you should’ve been born in a time without Miro lol

-Why did Haneul give birth to the 2nd batch?

[Worrying about the kids suddenly…]

The heavenly realm first batch, aside from Miro <— aren’t they seriously going to get overshadowed?

-For real lol

-Is that really the case?

-They’re not easy to deal with either ㅇㅇ

-Fact: The average viewer for Miro is higher than Anna.

-No, that’s because Miro is in Romance of the Three Kingdoms context.

-No, Anna is just overrated, lol

-No way, look how they’re pushing Anna down lol

[Gan’s quality is unreal too]

(Screenshot from Gan's broadcast)

Is the overall quality this insane? Was The Six like this?

-They probably spent a lot of money this time.

-These guys are serious, for real.

-I’m the owner of The Six, and I gave them a thumbs up.

[After watching Gan, total review of the 2nd batch]

(Miro's profile picture)

Miro is ALL KILL~

-Ugh, you Miro fans bring her up for everything.

-No, so what? Are you better than Miro, lol

-No, you guys are better?

-Damn it, Miro again.

-Are you again?

[Miro’s broadcast ON lol]

Let's go~

-No, I switched to Seo Eun-ha, lol

-No one would care even if you weren’t here~

-Finally here, damn, I’ve been waiting.

[Watching awkward newcomers, it feels comfy to see Miro lol]

In the end, it’s this girl again.

-For real, it’s just comforting.

-It feels like a naughty grandma's house.

-No, for real lol

[Miro’s voice is seriously really nice though]

No newcomer has a voice better than Miro.

-She used to have the original voice charm.

-We’re used to it, but her voice is insane.

[Miro’s room gathers newcomers d_d]

(Screenshot from Miro's broadcast)

One by one, they come in and kneel lol

It’s already typical for Miro to gather them.

-Scary lol

-As expected, it’s Miro ham!

[Wow, watching newcomers then Miro is just dizzying]

(Screenshot of Miro kicking out juniors)

What’s with her kicking out juniors after calling them with her title?

-She’s insane, lol

-Miro's breaths are on a different level ㅇㅇ

-Those thickers who just debuted should take their punishment lol

-Miro might’ve forgotten the title she wrote herself.

No, that’s right, lol

-Oh lol, she has to evaluate them, but it’d be awkward if they’re there.

-Right, the right eye is blurred.

[Miro’s evaluation summary of the 2nd batch]

(Screenshot from Miro's broadcast)

Seolha - Too arrogant; will pay for trying to outdraw a senior like Haneul.

Haeun - The character is so pretty I got angry.

Haeil - She seems to play games well; I’d like to teach her a game I enjoy someday.

Harbin - I hear she raps well, so I’m looking forward to it.

Seo Eun-ha - I was dumbfounded.

Gan - Seems like she could cook well; I want to have a cooking battle someday.

Is this even an evaluation?

-What’s scary here is that surprisingly, there’s no fabrication;;

-LOL

-If you understand why she got kicked, thumbs up lol

-No, for real lol

-Harbin <— just ^raps well^ dor lol

[Miro wants to teach Haeil a game she enjoys]

(Civilization playing screen)

(Romance of the Three Kingdoms playing screen)

Just… this is so messed up…!

-Damn, it can’t be this, right?

-No, then what game does Miro enjoy, lol

-No, damn it.

-Miro’s junior extermination, lol

-Just wait for her to actually teach you.

-No, for real, damn it lol

-Just imagining it is silly.

-The surprising thing is that Miro really does play.

-No, damn it.

***

The 2nd batch has fully debuted.

That fact came as a big surprise even to fans who love the celestial realm, but it’s also a huge event for us, the first batch.

As a result, everyone felt quite a bit, and one of those feelings was…

I just saw a post on the community.

A comparison post of the 1st batch and 2nd batch avatars from the celestial realm.

It’s true… they look a bit shabby, how should I say it?

No, it’s not that the 1st batch characters are bad. Back then, they were actually of higher quality than individual creations.

But seeing the 2nd batch characters, clearly made by The Six with a polished design, made ours look inferior by comparison.

Maybe that's why, in the group chat, there had been a few talks about it.

Starting from wondering if we’re okay as we are – some opinions to collect money and remakes popped up, and some members wanted to inquire with The Six, while others suggested throwing a tantrum.

After talking, it was decided that we’d complain to the relatively easy-going manager.

The representative to convey that idea was going to contact the manager.

So who is the one taking the heat?

Who else could it be?

[Hello?]

“Oh, yes, manager.”

That would be me.

Damn it.

Coming up with a groundbreaking idea and taking all the blame.

The first batch of the celestial realm has to stop abusing the maknae.

[Yes, what’s up?]

“Ahem, it’s that I watched the 2nd batch broadcast yesterday.”

[Yes, you watched it all and also started the broadcast, right? The 2nd batch members got kicked and contacted me as well.]

I tried to get straight to the point, but an interesting comment came from the manager.

“Yeah? The fact that they reached out to you?”

[Interestingly enough, they were worried about not being hated by Miro.]

“Ohh.”

Ah, I see how it might come off that way?

Would our lack of awareness in swarming into the senior's broadcast raise concerns?

“That's amusing. So what did you tell them?”

[Miro seems quite mad, so I told them to apologize later.]

“Oh hahaha, jokes aside.”

[....]

“…Really?”

[Just kidding.]

“Huh.”

No.

When they said it seriously, I thought it was real, okay?

I can’t believe the manager is pulling this kind of prank on me now.

I suddenly feel like I’ve known the manager for quite a while.

[In the first place, everyone was aware that there’s no way Miro would be bothered because they’ve watched her broadcasts a bit, right?]

“Then why does the manager care?”

[Just a precaution. Still, she is a senior after all.]

“Oh….”

So basically, the conclusion is that the 2nd batch is looking to me for advice?

Of course… it’s only natural for the new ones in the 2nd batch to be wary of the heavenly and senior, Miro.

Collaborating should be fun.

I’d like to make them uncomfortable.

“When can we collaborate with the 2nd batch? The members are really interested.”

So I asked the manager about this.

Well, it’s not just me; other members are almost dancing with anticipation for an early collaboration.

[As for collaboration… there should be a group collaboration coming up soon.]

“Oh... is there going to be one?”

[It’d be good to do it while the debut broadcast is still impactful.]

“Then can we just freely collaborate afterward?”

At the moment, it feels like a new animal that just entered the zoo is being carefully classified with the existing population. So I’m cautious.

[Hmm… we do have ideas for individual collaborations, but I’ll tell you about that later.]

“Do you have ideas? Isn’t it better to go ahead and collaborate on our own since the numbers match?”

[…]

What, is this serious?

“Really?”

[That’s why keen-eyed affiliated Vtubers….]

Wait, is it really true?

Hmm… getting paired up for 1:1.

It may be cliché, but it still gives peace of mind, so it’s not bad.

“Then please pair me with Haeil.”

[…I will refrain from commenting.]

“Already caught, haven’t I?”

[….]

“Don’t be too heartbroken.”

[Well… but why Haeil? There are so many options.]

“Oh, because I want to teach her something.”

As a senior, I’d like to show her what I know. She seems to have many games she enjoys, some things to share.

[Oh, that’s too bad.]

“Yes?”

[Just kidding.]

The manager said something that sounded significant, but I ignored it.

Surely that doesn't mean the pair has already been roughly decided and Haeil isn’t it.

…Please let it be so.

[Now, what’s the reason you called today?]

“Oh.”

Come to think of it, I actually called for a different reason, but in chatting so much about the 2nd batch, the topic drifted away.

“I’m calling today to throw a tantrum on behalf of the 1st batch.”

[Huh?]

Throwing a tantrum? The shocked voice came through the phone.

[Wait, why specifically Miro?]

“Is there a problem?”

[No, of course not.]

Was it that part that concerned them?

Anyway, having made the declaration, I should get to the point.

“So what we wanted to say is…”

[Is it about the avatar?]

“Whoa.”

How did they know?

Well, it was a bit obvious, wasn’t it?

[Seems Miro has nothing to complain about beyond that, right?]

As expected, the manager has a keen sense… caught on immediately.

This makes my job much easier.

“Make me a new avatar.”

No need for explanations; it’s time to relax!

[New avatar…]

“Please make it for me!”

[Hmm… judging by your eagerness, the avatars of the 2nd batch must have impressed you?]

“Yeah. Right now, my character looks awful.”

Isn’t it the case that someone else’s rice cake always looks bigger?

If his rice cake looks big, how much more would someone else's cake tempt you?

[But Miro.]

Right when I was gearing up to genuinely whine, the manager calmly sighed my name.

“Oh, yes?”

What’s up? When being called this way, I get thrown off guard.

[Why do you think we wouldn’t make avatars?]

“Uh?”

Huh? Is that really so?

Now that I think about it, after making the 2nd batch…

[I'm quite disappointed to hear such. Of course, after finishing with the 2nd batch, we’re working on remaking the avatars of the 1st batch.]

The manager spoke in a tone as if he was slightly exaggeratedly hurt.

Damn, they’re already making them? Is The Six a god?

Why did I assume The Six wasn’t making them?

Thinking back, The Six are the ones we easily overlook.

[But why call to…]

Now it seems the manager is positioning to try and mount some high ground here.

Staying still here would be like bothering an efficient company by mentioning complaints, wouldn’t it?

Honestly, that would be the accurate assessment.

“Um… Okay, I probably rushed it too much. I shouldn’t have doubted the company.”

So I conceded quickly.

[Right? After all, Miro is great, but this….]

“I feel like I wasted the valuable time of a busy person; thank you for your effort!”

*Click*

The phone went dead.

I’m such a fool.

How could I doubt The Six!

If they’re already working on it, then there’s nothing more to say.

I tossed my phone, which was ringing again from the manager, onto the bed and stepped into the soundproof booth.

While the company works hard on the avatars, I need to put my effort into broadcasting.

Maximizing our efforts in our respective positions.

How ideal is that?

After all, The Six is the best.
