[What the hell is this?]

(YouTube link)

Why is there a familiar face at the Slim Gold concert???

-???

-What’s this??

WTF, Slim Gold just opened their solo concert today and Miro showed up.

-OMG, no way LOL

-Is that Miro?

-Yep.

-Damn, she’s super pretty, what’s going on??

-This guy just came to the gallery for the first time LOL

-He doesn’t even know what the gallery master looks like, LOL

[Thought I was wondering why they were taking a break, these bastards LOL]

This is ridiculous, damn.

-Seriously LOL

-She’s just an absurd girl.

-Damn, looks like she’ll just go back and start a Romance of the Three Kingdoms again.

-Nah, this is now a fixed pattern LOL

-I mean, honestly, it’s fun LOL let’s get a drink.

-Fun? Please.

[Wow, Miro even danced at the concert LOL]

(YouTube link)

Look at her twirling and dancing, what the hell…

-This is wild.

-She totally eats up all the idols for real…

-Miro’s an idol too, you know?

-Oh wow.

-Whoa, her physique is insane.

-Seriously, she’s got the goods.

[Miro’s moves are fantastic though]

(YouTube video comments capture)

Who are these influencers going wild? LOL

-LOL

-Yeah, try searching their Instagram~ Found nothing~

-But why do they really not exist though?

-Maybe they deleted it or never started?

-Probably deleted it—just imagine Miro going for that look.

-I feel like Miro wouldn’t do it.

-For real LOL

[Miro’s really living her best life, huh…]

Honestly, I was okay with her taking a break since she’s always broadcasting.

But turns out she went to work instead LOL

-For real…

-This is the burden of being a queen.

-Miro works harder than the other first-generation members LOL

-This is absolutely right LOL

-External activities are truly daebak.

-It’s better than going on vacation to find a boyfriend LOL let’s drink up.

-But isn’t she going to meet her boyfriend at the concert too?

-Oh snap.

-Did you just say what I think you said?

[Now that I think about it, did all the other girls go to concerts?]

None of the first-generation girls went live today, damn.

-Ah;;

-I mean, they’ve usually not been turning on their streams much lately LOL

-For real… they got lost.

-The second gens are still on it though.

-If it were Miro, she’d probably get a ticket for sure LOL

[Miro’s surprise stream, what’s this??]

(link)

Let’s go!

-For real??

-Yeah, yeah.

-Did she go home?

-Nah, nah—looks like she’s in a hotel.

-Huh?

[It doesn’t seem like she turned it on to talk about the concert]

Why did she start the stream??

-Donated for the concert but she’s ignoring it, damn.

-Does Miro really have a reason for this??

-She’s eating snacks while on.

-For real?

-Yeah, she seems to have turned it on while munching.

-Ah, I rushed here for nothing.

-Her streams rarely happen, LOL let’s drink.

-But it’s a hotel, is this really a stream?

-Going from 2D to 3D is still a stream, right?

[Miro’s silhouette reflected in the glass]

(capture)

Even just showing in a half-hearted way, she’s a pretty girl…

-Whoa.

-Miro’s physique is totally unreal…

-Goodness, LOL

-She could’ve just put her face on and played games, she’d hit a million on YouTube.

-Right? LOL

-She’d be a big shot without even streaming as a female gamer.

-She’s already a big shot, LOL

-Seriously, if you look at it, if Miro were to use her looks, she should be an actor or an idol—what’s a YouTuber LOL?

-Oh, that’s true LOL

-She’s actually done acting though?

-For real, she has LOL

[Seriously, who’s bigger, among the two?]

Excluding Miro, Celestial Realm vs Miro

Who’s on top?

-Damn, this is absurd LOL

-This has been going on for ages.

-Each time, Miro keeps winning LOL

-They’re really trying to pit a singer against a VTuber, huh?

-For real… no conscience, these guys LOL

[Miro’s mukbang ASMR]

(live stream clip)

Oh LOL

-Whoa.

-This is wild LOL

-Honestly, it’s nothing special but thinking it’s Miro makes me go insane.

-For real…

-I hope Miro does an ASMR properly once.

-She’s probably one of those who’ll never do it, LOL

[How to enjoy the stream three times more now]

(Compilation of Miro’s red pills)

Just think of it like this: a girl that looks like this is munching on snacks and talking nonsense…

-Fact: it’s all true.

-What’s this? LOL

-I tried buying snacks like Miro does and it’s tasty, LOL

[Real-time Miro stream being bombarded, whoa]

A friend said she was sleeping LOL

-Oh LOL

-So she woke up for this LOL

-I could tell from the loud noises since late at night.

-For real…

-Sis, whoa!

-Her friend’s voice is nice, LOL

[Collaboration stream? LOL]

Looks fun, so I’m gonna check it out LOL

-Just looking at how she talks, she seems like a major influencer.

-For real.

-This is Miro becoming an absolute darling LOL

-It felt a bit unfair that Miro was eating alone LOL

[Hey, isn’t that person who popped up on Miro’s stream her friend?]

(Slim Gold Instagram link)

Seems like the girl playing drums here is one of them, huh?

She’s showing up on Slim Gold’s Instagram—same voice for sure.

-Whoa.

-For real, she’s totally an influencer.

-Red-haired girl, whoa.

[Miro seems to be seriously adored.]

Looks like that girl next to her is doting on her LOL

-For real…

-Damn, I’m so jealous, damn.

-Must be the age difference making her look cute LOL

-Miro’s very likable when in private, seriously.

[Feels like Miro’s getting more tired as time goes on, LOL]

Why does it feel like she’s losing energy as time passes?

-For real LOL

-You can see Miro’s tension dropping LOL

-I’m Miro and still hit the like button LOL

-True influencers are on another level with their energy.

-For real… they don’t tire out at all.

[But Miro <—This girl is a bit annoying.]

Openly using the same hotel room with someone from Slim Gold’s band and streaming while ignoring all the concert talk is kinda getting me.

-For real LOL

-Anyway, that’s not right, LOL

-Fact: after the vacation ends, she’ll still ignore it LOL

-For real, she’ll probably just bring some random lame strategy game to stream.

-Oh LOL watched all her streams now.

***

As I opened my eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.

Well, I did stream late last night, so I guess it's understandable.

Since I’m awake anyway, I surveyed the room from my bed but it seems like Ah-young is already gone.

Did she wake up early to wash up and head out right after we went to bed at the same time?

Her stamina is really something else.

Even though I slept soundly, I feel a bit tired.

Could it be because I ate and went straight to bed?

Anyway, I decided to clean up and head to that performance hall where the concert awaits.

Even though it’s still early for the concert to start, it wouldn't hurt to go early for a light rehearsal and touch up on my makeup.

Upon arriving at the concert venue, it was just as bustling as it had been the previous day.

“Oh, you’re here?”

As I roamed about, I bumped into the busiest-looking person around.

“Just got here, what about you?”

“Oh, I’m just checking things out.”

Hyeon-su looked busy, yet also quite excited.

Well, he’s probably hyped at the thought of going back on stage again.

“By the way, did Ah-young come by?”

“Oh yeah, she’s over there practicing.”

“Wow...”

Even practicing before the rehearsal starts, she really puts in the effort.

Her skills don’t come from nowhere.

“By the way, today is the last day.”

“What? It’s only the second day.”

“How do you feel about it?”

“Me? I feel regret. If I had it my way, I’d want to do this for a whole week.”

“Well, the band would collapse then.”

After all, Ah-young struggled quite a bit last night.

“I won’t collapse.”

“You’re currently addicted to the stage, so you're fine.”

What’s it called again—adrenaline? That stuff must be pumping through him since he’s in a natural state of doping during performances.

“Stage addiction? I heard the same thing from Hyun-jun hyung?”

“He said that to you too?”

“Yeah, well… he gave me a lot of advice beyond this.”

“Did he tell you to enjoy yourself on stage?”

“How did you know?”

...So he was just doling out the same encouragement everywhere.

Just like those holiday gifts you buy in bulk to send out without any thought; can’t let that happen.

“Just a guess, he said the same to me.”

“Hyun-jun's true to form. Oh, by the way, I’m posting something after this show.”

“What?”

“That challenge choreography we filmed.”

“Oh, that one?”

Now that I think about it, we did film it.

I guess we have a variety of versions.

Well, I probably only filmed it a couple of times, but Hyeon-su has done it continuously with the concert guests since yesterday, so he must have quite a bit of footage to upload.

“Should I put an emoji on your face?”

“Not needed, really? At this point?”

I noticed that some fans who watched yesterday’s concert had already uploaded short clips to YouTube.

At this stage, there’s no point in trying to hide it.

Anyway, the new song already credits Miro as featuring, so...

“Then, that’s that. I’ll head in first since rehearsal is starting soon.”

“Okay, work hard.”

“But you’re going too, right?”

“I’m only going to be a bit.”

Anyway, with that, Hyeon-su left, and shortly after, rehearsal began.

Having been rehearsing since the day before, it went smoothly without any major issues.

After that, I also received makeup for the actual performance.

This time they styled me a bit differently than yesterday.

The content of the concert feels a bit changed; it feels like a lot of effort is being put in now that this is a solo concert.

After completing my preparations, I suddenly remembered something from yesterday.

Should I go ahead and say it now?

“Oh, I’ll just take a brief call.”

“Sure, just come back in time.”

With that, I asked the staff for a moment of intermission and entered the empty waiting room.

Once I confirmed there was no one around, I immediately made a call.

[Hello?]

“Ah, Manager, the show’s about to start—has everyone arrived?”

[Oh yes, I’m sitting in the audience area right now.]

The person on the line was, of course, the manager.

Naturally, I had gotten him a ticket too.

Originally, I meant to give him a concert ticket for yesterday, but he tearfully told me he couldn’t make it, so I found a ticket for today instead.

[I'm so excited....]

The manager, who is somewhat of a Slim Gold fan, replied with a slightly moved voice.

Is it really that great?

I heard he tried to get a ticket but failed.

Now that he got one from me, he must feel like rain has finally come in a drought.

“I hope you enjoy the show.”

[Even without saying, I will.]

“Oh, and.”

[And?]

As I added a few words, I heard an uneasy voice from the manager over the phone.

I doubt he could have guessed what I was about to say, but he seemed to pick up that it might be a request.

“Are the The Six still active lately?”

[…Not at all. We’re quite busy.]

“Oh really?”

Busy, huh? That complicates my plans a bit.

“What are you working on??”

[Cough... company secret.]

“Oh come on, where’s the secret between us? Huh? You got a ticket and all.”

Aren’t we best friends?

With best friends, there are no secrets or anything.

Come on, I’m not bragging, but I mean, I did get him a ticket—a ticket that people pay above market price just to get.

[…You have to keep this a secret.]

“Of course. Go on and tell me.”

I nudged him to spill the beans, wanting to know what the secret was.

What could it be that The Six is undertaking without my knowledge...?

[Actually, we’re preparing for the third generation....]

“STOP!!”

The mention of the third generation made me instinctively shout.

“We should focus on the second generation first....”

[Of course, we are also working on new songs for the second generation. You must keep this a secret as well.]

“Oh, I see.”

That’s good then, but....

“But what about us?”

[Ah, the first generation’s members, well… I can’t push them too far.]

“Oh, come on, it’s not like something can’t be pushed at all.”

You can’t possibly have something that can’t be pushed.

Everything can be accomplished, so claiming otherwise is just an excuse.

[No... it's too heavy, to put it that way? Somehow I don’t have the confidence to push the first generation like Miro.]

But the manager genuinely seemed insecure about that statement.

Sure, I have been promoting the Celestial Realm lately...

“So I guess I’m doing the work of the company?”

[Well... you could see it that way? I’m always grateful for your help.]

“Well, that’s fortunate.”

[Huh?]

Thinking about it now, this worked out perfectly.

Since I was doing the company work, shouldn't the company do something for me in return?

“So, whatever The Six is planning, it means you should do something for me, right?”

[That could be the case, but... there’s been talk about compensation at higher levels.]

Really? They’ve even brought this up to higher-ups?

This timing is just great.

I’m glad I made this call.

“Then...”

[Then...?]

“Please let me have a concert.”

[Excuse me?]

The word "concert" caused the manager to sound flabbergasted on the other end.

Sure, it’s sudden, but...

That’s precisely why I gave him a heads-up.

I don’t want to hurriedly set one up; I’d like to take my time.

“Just pay attention today.”

[Co, concert? Are you suggesting we do it like last year’s end party...?]

“No, no, not something like a Celestial Realm commemoration live. I want a solo concert for Miro.”

Sure, the other members will probably make guest appearances.

But I definitely want it to be a solo concert.

Because I’m a VTuber.

In my own way of doing things.
