I looked at the chat for a moment, scratching my head, but quickly composed myself.

I had been thinking about this all wrong from the start.

“Hmmm…”

Upon reflection, my broadcast viewers were not exactly the most straightforward people, were they? They wouldn’t just calmly type in the chat on an occasion like this.

– So what are we doing today??

– Hrrragh!

– Gruuulggh.. Let’s cause chaos..

“Everyone, please calm down for a moment.”

But it felt a bit excessive to start kicking and banning left and right like a massacre.

I had already drawn too much attention to myself, so I couldn’t just come down hard and forbid them from mentioning the red potion, could I?

So it seemed like there were some things I would just have to accept for now.

After all, it didn’t seem like they were being particularly troublesome.

More like they were just teasing me?

I keep thinking, after all, I did nothing wrong.

I merely went out and engaged a bit.

But did that mean I abandoned my broadcast?

Not at all! Looking at the average broadcast days for first-generation students, I was actually closer to the top tier!

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Miro!]

Hang in there, Miro! What did you do today?

See? There are viewers cheering for me!

Speaking of which, what did I do today? Oh right.

“Thank you for the 10,000 won donation! I went to a friend’s graduation ceremony today.”

– ?

– A friend..?

– Damn

– You little brat!!

– Aaargh!

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Miro!]

Damn it!

“Everyone, just a moment.”

The mention of a friend’s graduation made the chat momentarily buzz, but I managed to calm them down for now.

I knew it would lead to this; but I can’t lie, can I?

If I lied and got caught later, that would be a big problem.

At times like this, it’s better to be honest and confident.

“But look, we’re having a great time broadcasting now, right? My viewers are my top priority.”

Besides, I came back to broadcast instead of hanging out and having fun elsewhere, didn’t I?

If there’s another VTuber who thinks that deeply about their viewers, they should come forward.

– Is that so?

– This girl is gaslighting us, lol.

– Hmmm.. It does seem somewhat true.

– Quit it, lol.

“Hey, I’m serious about this.”

I just zipped off to the graduation ceremony, quickly ate, and returned, thinking about nothing but my broadcast, so I can truly say I’m not feeling guilty towards my viewers!

“Shall we get into today’s content then?”

– Oh!

– Why are you dodging?

– Do you have something prepared?

– Da Miro.

– Why not sing like a singer?

– How about watching a music video?

“These people… it’s not like that.”

Saying this, I smoothly transitioned the screen.

[From the first birth of life beneath the surface…]

Suddenly, a familiar narration started flowing.

– ??

– Don’t mess with me!

– Is this real?

– Damn!

“Hahaha.”

As soon as I played it, the chat exploded even more than before, making me laugh as I terminated the civilization.

“Just kidding. Are we going to play civilization again today?”

…Honestly, I was just testing the waters, but seeing their intense reactions, I knew I should try something different.

Of course, I had prepared a Plan B as well.

“Hey, it’s been a while since we checked the café, right? Let’s take a look?”

– Hmmm..

– Isn’t this a lazy move?

– Hmm..

– Okay.

– Not bad.

Looks like they’re okay with this.

I really can’t figure out the viewers’ minds sometimes.

So, I entered Miro’s fan bulletin board, which had gotten quite lively.

Since it had been a while, there was a significant amount of popular posts stacked up.

Just looking at these could easily take hours, right?

I was drooling.

I started by reading the title of the first post.

[Miro’s Oryukok New Record]

The title is quite promising.

Now that I think of it, the gentle lake also had pretty good performance, right?

I hadn’t checked it recently, but since someone wrote a post, I should take a look.

As I clicked on the post, I found….

[Miro’s Oryukok New Record]

(Link to the branch music video)

Looks like they really hit a high score this time?

“Um… you posted the wrong link, didn’t you?”

– But it looks correct, lol.

– Are you crazy? lol.

– Hey, who is that? hehe.

“Right? Who is she… she’s pretty.”

– ??

– True, but..

– Seems like she’s got a metal face too.

– How about we check out the music video? lol.

So I went back and clicked on the next post.

[Miro, please take responsibility for this]

(Screenshot of Seo Eun-ha’s Civilization playtime)

My kid has been playing civilization all day!

The next post was by someone who seemed to be Seo Eun-ha’s viewer, and the time captured in the screenshot was quite astonishing.

“Wow, isn’t this more than what I played?”

– Hahahahahahaha.

– Wow, that room must be messed up, right? lol.

– For real. lol.

– Haha!

– Seems like they really do play all day long.

The recorded playtime was quite intense!

I’ve played a lot in all the series, but this could actually mean I might get caught up in skill level.

“Late blooming is scary, huh… it’s real.”

– Of course it is your fault.

– You gotta take responsibility, lol!

– How about we do a collab later?

“Yeah, a collab sounds good.”

The dream of civilization multiplayer.

This seems like it could actually be a possibility.

Besides, Seo Eun-ha seems to know how to have fun in games too.

Couldn’t Haeil or Gan also get hooked on civilization immediately?

I thought they might contact me to play together later, while I browsed through more posts.

Well, it looks like there have been quite a few occurrences lately, as half of the posts contained updates about other members.

We may have a group chat, but I don’t spill everything that happens during broadcasts there.

Watching the short clips of the other members posted on the bulletin board was refreshing.

Now that I include myself, there are even 12 members in our Celestial Realm. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that someone among us is broadcasting every day.

When I look at it this way, it’s really scary how the cartel is building up.

If the Celestial Realm has about 120 VTubers in the future, there might always be someone live streaming at any hour of the day.

By that time, Miro, the legendary first-year student, would be leading a multitude of juniors with just a wave of her hand, right?

Well, that’s still a ways off.

I wonder when they’ll select the third generation?

Maybe it’s already in progress?

Lately, I haven’t been in touch much with the Manager, so I have no way of knowing what’s happening at the Company.

They must be quite busy, right?

With my real-life issues, the second-generation group song, first-generation character remakes, and if they do something, I’ll have to think about the third generation too.

Thinking about it, it’s no wonder they’re buried in a mountain of tasks.

…I should focus on my broadcast.

Pursuing excellence in each of our positions is what makes life beautiful.

The Manager will handle things just as they always do.

So, I casually chatted while viewing the café.

“…So, I’m thinking of doing another collab soon.”

– With who?

– With the juniors?

– Let’s do a collab with the first generation too, okay?

“Oh, with the first generation? Sure, that’s fine.”

– Let’s go with Loa!

– And let’s do one with Anna too.

– When are we going back to Maho’s House?

“Hmm, that’s true… but I do plan to do something with the second generation.”

Haven’t we seen the first generation often enough? We should do something fresh with the new faces in the second generation.

– ???

– I mean, it’s alright, isn’t it?

– Don’t test the waters.

“It’s not that I’m testing… there are juniors I haven’t seen either, you know? So….”

But honestly, the chat was better than I expected.

Everyone initially came in throwing around “Miro” and whatnot, but after spending a few hours in the café, the broadcast atmosphere slowly returned to normal.

…Was the subscriber chat actually the right answer?

I can’t do this forever, but setting up broadcasts like this sometimes isn’t too bad.

Since the chat moves slower than usual, it’s much easier to read.

As I carried on the conversation for a while, I suddenly remembered my upcoming birthday.

I’m planning a special broadcast that day, so I’ll need to announce that ahead of time.

“By the way, everyone.”

– Ooh.

– What?

– Tell us.

– Got something to say?

“I’ll be celebrating my birthday soon.”

– Really?

– But?

– When is it?

– What day?

The mention of my birthday flooded the chat with excitement.

A birthday is indeed a hard event to ignore.

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]

So, you’re not planning to take a break, right?

– No way!

– Miro wouldn’t do that, right?

– Don’t doubt me, you bastards!

– Anyone who doubts Miro will get banned!

“Hahaha, taking a break? Should I?”

– Aaaaargh!

– For real?

– Don’t you dare!

– I’ll stand here with my hands up…

Maybe it’s because I’ve been resting from broadcasting lately?

The viewers are especially sensitive to the idea of breaks now.

Well, that’s also because we’re doing subscriber-only chats right now.

Those who are chatting here are people who love Miro’s broadcasts so much that they consistently donate a few thousand won to me each month.

“I’m just joking; I’m actually thinking of doing a special broadcast.”

With all the struggles my viewers have gone through, I have no plans to avoid broadcasting until my birthday.

– ???

– What kind of special?

– Are you really going to do it??

– Da Miro!

– But what will it be? (For real, no idea)

“Really? You don’t know?”

Subscribers should understand right away when I say “special.”

Isn’t there really only one thing that can be labeled special on my broadcast?

“It’s gotta be this.”

With that, I opened my notepad and wrote in really big letters.

[Miro 24 Hours]

It’s about time to do that again.

– ???

– For real??

– We’re doing that again?

“Alright, shall we make a schedule now?”

– Haha!

– For real??

– You’re insane.

– Something big is coming!

– Let’s make this a subscriber-only broadcast, lol.

The revival of Miro 24 Hours!
