Chapter 173


“Has everyone been waiting long?”

– Yeah

– I was waiting

– Who’s the first guest??

“Oh, we just started and you’re already looking for guests?”

– Didn’t you say you’d have a lot of guests?;;

– Wasn’t this a free meal for the guests?

“These people… free meals, you say.”

…Actually, that might be true.

But isn’t it better to have several people than just one? Time goes by faster that way and there’s more to do.

And having guests in this broadcast industry is a skill in itself.

“Well, actually, one is already right next to me.”

Not just next to me; we’re practically shoulder to shoulder.

Well… the soundproof booth isn’t exactly spacious, so sitting side by side was inevitable.

I’ll need to pull the desk or the mic out more when more people arrive.

“Okay, guest, please introduce yourself.”

As I said this and passed the mic, Tenshi started her introduction energetically.

“Ah, hello! I’m Murasaki Tenshi!”

– ???

– ?

– ????

– Really??

– Wait, she’s next to you?

I could see the chat buzzing loudly with Tenshi’s voice.

I guess it was a bit unexpected?

“So our first guest is Tenshi.”

– This is ridiculousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– I never imagined this

– How did she end up here?

Well, the viewers could be quite surprised.

They probably thought only the members would show up, but a foreign guest popped in instead.

“I heard Miho was doing a special broadcast, so I hopped on a plane and zoomed over!”

And she really did just that.

I received the call not long after the Miho 24-hour announcement.

“By the way, I’ve never been invited before.”

“Eh?? You said it was okay?”

“I couldn’t refuse that….”

Honestly, I never imagined Tenshi would be a guest, considering she lives in Japan and doesn’t have that much time to spare.

In fact, she’s probably busier than I am.

“Still, thank you for coming so early.”

– Great Tenshi

– Just…

– She really cameㅋㅋㅋ

– Doesn’t Miho also need to come here?

“Me? Should I go to Japan too?”

“Eh, really?”

Now that she’s here as a guest, how could I not go?

I’m not that heartless.

“But you have to tell me in advance.”

I added that because it would be troublesome if things got scheduled suddenly.

I still have a few plans after Miho 24 hours, after all.

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

Now that I think about it, I’ve never been a guest on Tenshi’s broadcast.

I heard I still haven’t used the footage from when I went to Japan last time.

I’ve been using Tenshi only for my broadcast, huh?

Well, I can always visit her more later.

I shouldn’t be crushed like before, right?

I’ve grown quite a bit since then.

“By the way, since Tenshi is here, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

Pointing to Tenshi, who was sitting next to me with a bright smile, I said this.

Even though the viewers won’t see Tenshi smiling.

Since there’s only one camera, only my character is moving.

– Really??

– They really are asking

– You should know it’s okay

What in the world are they planning to ask…?

“Just don’t ask anything that’ll get you banned.”

– Okay, okay

– Don’t worry

– Can I just write it in the chat?

“Yeah, it’s even better if it’s through a donation.”

– ??

– (Implying “donate”)

– Me

– Are you really trying to make money off this?

Isn’t the chat already chaotic?

If you’re going to ask a question, how nice would it be to donate and make it easy to read for a thousand won?

[Thank you for your 1,000 won donation, ooo!]

“What was your first impression of Tenshi?”

“Eh, Tenshi?”

“Oh, it’s just a typo, don’t mind that.”

“Ah….”

– Ah haㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Shouldn’t we ban that person?ㅋㅋ

– Fact: Tenshi has actually seen Miro

“Eh… my first impression… um….”

Tenshi hesitated a bit before answering the question.

Well, the red pill is a sensitive subject for virtual YouTubers.

But I’m like…

“You’re free to say it.”

Everyone already knows, right? Even now, there are music video links popping up on the fan café.

“Um… when I first saw her, I thought she was a K-pop idol?”

– Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Our Miro is prettyㅋㅋ

– She’s technically an idol tooㅋㅋ

“Oh dear, even if you praise me, nothing comes out of it.”

– Drop your smile now, will you?

– Tenshi knows how to socialize

[Thank you for your 1,000 won donation, ooo!]

What happens when the Miro broadcast cuts off?

– When the broadcast cuts off, Miro becomes Miro <— leave nowㅋㅋ
- I’m somewhat curious about this
- Is she still the same after the broadcast?

"When the broadcast is off, Miro acts a bit differently."

"Eh?"

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Miro / Scandal
- I expected that

Wait, really? So what’s different?

"When the broadcast cuts off, Miro becomes more gentle."

"Ah, did everyone hear that?"

Phew, I was worried I was saying something unnecessary, but it seems it was a compliment.

But aren’t we going a bit overboard praising each other today?

- Really??
- Great Miro
- Just a little spoiled on the broadcast…

- Can’t she be a bit nicer to us too?

"Oh, if you all do well, then I can be kind."

Miro is like a training camp instructor.
Her demeanor can change based on how the other person behaves—she can be an angel or a devil.

- You should treat us well first
- We didn’t act like this from the start either;;

- Ugh, should I give up?
- I’m feeling a bit malicious now…

"Okay, everyone, anyway, the Q&A time is over."

- But we’ve only done two questions?
- Small Miro

- I can see you’re avoiding questions that might end badlyㅋㅋ

"That’s not true."

What do you take me for…? More like, the questions seemed a bit risky, which is why I stopped.

These people… they were supposed to ask Tenshi what they were curious about while only digging into my information.

At this rate, they might ask for my name too, right?

So I forcibly ended the question time and started the actual game.

Isn’t Tenshi associated with FPS games?

So I prepared an FPS game as well.

Originally, I thought it would be cool to alternate one life each, but…

Wouldn’t that be like playing as a proxy if we did that with one account??

To avoid any controversy, I simply changed the format to have me playing while Tenshi teaches me from the back.

The game I prepared was an FPS game released by the company that created the League of Legends Tenshi once told me about.

"Then let’s start with the tutorial."

I’ve watched a few videos, but since it’s my first time playing, I started with the tutorial.

Let’s see… this is how you jump, and this is how you walk.

The basic controls didn’t seem that different from a normal FPS.

"Oh, you can’t shoot while moving."

"Excuse me?"

"To shoot well, you have to stop, stand still, and shoot!"

"Is that so?"

Well, generally in FPS games, stopping to shoot does yield better accuracy.

After starting the tutorial moderately, I dove directly into a regular game.

"What character is good?"

- Choose the healer
- Not that one, choose the one next to it

"Um… okay, I’ll pick the one that looks like a ninja here."

- ???
- Wait
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Why did you ask?!

Having tried out the tutorial, it seems each character has skills. It could be fun to be a swift assassin, right?

"What do you think, Tenshi? This character is good too, right?"

"Uh… y-yeah, it’s good."

- It would be nice to see you use it
- If she sees the future, it would be a big winㅋㅋ
- Ugh

"Don’t worry, everyone."

It seems they forgot I’m also a gamer, right?

Although FPS isn’t my strong suit, it’s just at level one, so we should be similar in skill.

So I picked a character and started the game.

Following Tenshi’s instructions, I bought a gun from the shop, went to the designated spot, and casually read the skills.

"Um."

Throwing smoke grenades and swiftly moving around—it’s a perfect fit for an assassin.

You might wonder what kind of skills exist in a shooting game, but isn’t that what makes it fun?

Once the game started…

"Alright, let’s get started…."

Zing—

As soon as the round began, something shiny flew towards me, and suddenly my vision was filled with white.

BANG BANG—

"Uh?"

I instantly got shot.

"What the heck."

- Hahaha
- You should dodge that
- You couldn’t avoid it?

"What was that?!"

- It’s a skillㅋㅋㅋ
- There are countless abilities like that

"Wait, don’t I have a smoke grenade?!"

"Ah."

So that’s how this game is, huh?

Honestly, it seems quite fun.

It’s different from the usual shooting games.

Thinking I’d do better in the next round…

BANG!

BANG!

I shot at the opponent but couldn’t hit even once and ended up dead myself.

"Why isn’t it hitting?"

- What are you doing?ㅋㅋ
- You need to stop and shoot
- If you shoot while moving, it won’t hit at allㅋㅋ

"Okay, let’s try again."

Whoosh— BOOM!

"What is this?!"

- That’s an ultimate abilityㅋㅋ
- You got your ultimate already, it seems the opponent is good tooㅋㅋ
- You truly are a troll!

Is this game… unexpectedly hard?

- You might not have the talent…
- FPS may not suit you?ㅋㅋ

"No, no, just watch closely."

I think the game encourages enemy encounters.

So I tried hard, but…

"Um…."

[DEFAT]

I started getting the hang of it midway, but ultimately lost.

- You really can’t do it
- But you did well from the middle stage on

"I’ll win for real next time."

- As if that could happen,ㅋㅋ
- Ugh, let’s just go play that civilization game?ㅋㅋ
- Possibly something like Romance of the Three Kingdoms might suit you betterㅋㅋ

"Oh, I’ll show you that later."

- ???
- ?
- ??
- No

Anyway, after immersing myself in FPS games for a long time, evening came before I knew it.

"Shall we have dinner now?"

"Sure!"
- Tenshi is all smilesㅋㅋ
- Is that the same person who was biting down earlier?ㅋㅋ
- Honestly, I wanted to slap the back of her head, but that's a big winㅋㅋ

Oh dear, these people.
I was doing fairly well on my own for a while, but because of my initial impact, they’re still teasing me.

More importantly, it’s cooking broadcast time after a long while.
Thinking about it, I haven’t cooked in ages; Mrs. Jang cooks every day, so I hardly get to do any cooking.

"Before that, we have an additional guest."

"Eh?"

I invited a guest on purpose around dinner time.

While there are several members with cooking experience from long self-catering days, it would be much more fun to invite someone completely clueless, right?

So I called the person who was the furthest from cooking out of everyone I could think of.

"I hear she’s almost here, so I’ll go greet her."

First, I sought the audience’s understanding and stepped out of the room with Tenshi.

"Who’s the guest?"

"You’ll find out when you see her."

Would they really not be able to tell? Thinking about it, Tenshi would be meeting her for the first time.

Anyway, as I went out with Tenshi to the main gate, I saw someone shyly standing in front of it.

"Did you wait long?"

"Ah, no, I just arrived!"

If there’s anyone who would be the farthest from cooking that I could invite, it would be none other than Seo Eun-ha.

She’s young and still lives at home.

"Wow, hello! I’m Tenshi!"

"Ah, hello. I’m Seo Eun-ha…."

But, maybe because they are about the same height? Watching them greet each other, they looked like friends of the same age.

Although Tenshi is a few years older, of course.

With that, I brought the second guest inside.
