Chapter 252
[Today’s Miro’s Maancheongwahei]
(Miro sweeping away the Yellow Turbans video)
So refreshing LOL! They really made a good game LOL.
– For real, it looks fun.
– I don’t know about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, can I play it?
No, no, you can just think of it as an open-world war game.
– Miro’s voice and what she says do not match at all LOL.
No for real LOL, her voice with “Maancheongwahei” is hilarious.
[Miro <— This person seems like a romanticist the more I see her...]
The elite cavalry looks pretty cool.
- Yeah LOL.
- Until the raid, it was super cool.
No for real LOL.
- She was supposed to be the village's guardian unit, but then suddenly she started ambushing civilian homes LOL.
[Miro ambushing civilians while shouting "Maancheongwahei"]
(Miro sweeping away homes video)
This jerk is doing all sorts of things to the village youth.
- LOL.
- This might be controversial??? LOL.
- She’s going all out even while hunting rabbits ㄷㄷ.
[Watching the broadcast, Miro really knows about Romance of the Three Kingdoms]
I also like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I am surprised every time she mentions something I didn't know.
- Seems like she learned from playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms games.
- Is Miro really that knowledgeable?
No, not an expert, but she could strut around if she wanted to LOL.
- Just listening to her everyday conversations shows she has a ton of random knowledge LOL.
[Freaking world is turned upside down]
Is it true that VTubers are flooding the internet by playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms games?
Am I seeing things wrong, or is the world wrong?
- Just accept it LOL.
- So, has Miro been in any movies yet?? Pretty??? Famous for singing??
No LOL, totally mixed it up LOL!
- Oh no, it’s Miro again.
[Miro, so she’s still a virgin, right?]
She’s 23 now, but with how good she is at drawing, singing, acting, and knowing Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she probably hasn't had time for romance LOL.
- You’re right in your thinking.
- Is this person really smart? Is she from Seoul University??
- Wow, for real, Miro is 23?? LOL, time flies.
No for real, it feels like just yesterday she was 21 LOL.
- Hearing that makes my perception feel off;;
[In the end, Miro became the official advertising model LOL]
(Game company's official notice)
LOL.
- Wow LOL, this is really happening.
- Da Miro.
- If it's Miro, it’s justified.
No for real...
- The passion is on another level LOL.
[Reason the game company offered Miro advertising]
(Miro gameplay highlight collection)
There’s no other female streamer like this playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms game anywhere!
- Looking at the highlights, Miro seems to have really enjoyed it.
No for real LOL.
- Miro was just an officer under Lu Bu, who used to commit raids for 8 hours straight LOL.
- Miro in its essence LOL.
- She's such a character that it’s just funny.
[Why is this game so hard? LOL]
Freaking Miro did it and I bought it, but the battles are ridiculously hard??
- The game is supposedly hard in general LOL.
- If AI is that advanced, would the game be easy? LOL.
- Miro actually did do well.
[Miro Fan Café notice]
(Captions of Miro's notice)
She’s super stoked that she became an advertising model LOL.
- Can’t blame her LOL.
- Is being an advertising model really that big of a deal?
No, just go on the game company’s official website and you’ll find Miro LOL.
- For real??
- Yep, LOL, it should be out soon.
- That’s kind of funny LOL.

She became the advertising model for a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game.
Usually, you don't just accept these kinds of proposals, but my manager said it would be fine, so I eagerly accepted.
Well, they made a great game, and since the company seems recognized in Japan, it didn’t seem bad to take it.
I also saw that local VTubers occasionally collab with them.
And since the game is fun, I was planning to play more anyway, and having an ad while doing it seems even better.
For details or other negotiations, it seems The Six is handling it, and they'll ask me directly for only the important stuff.
In that regard, the company is definitely great.
If I were alone, I definitely would have been overwhelmed right from the start.
“Composer, take a look at this.”
Anyway, feeling a bit excited, I showed the game to the Composer sitting in front of me.
“It’s a game, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, I’m the advertising model.”
“Oh… congratulations.”
“Do you like Romance of the Three Kingdoms?”
Since the Composer is old enough, I thought he’d like it, but he shook his head.
“No, not really.”
“....”
Isn’t everyone supposed to know about Romance of the Three Kingdoms at his age?
With a bit of disappointment, I turned my gaze to Moon Chang-sik, who was sitting next to me.
“What about you?”
“I like it a bit.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, Liu Bei is cool.”
Oh… he’s a Shu fan.
More than that, I was surprised by Moon Chang-sik.
I didn't expect there would still be Gen Z who likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
“Then you should play this game.”
Since I’m the “official advertising model,” I lightly promoted the game to Moon Chang-sik.
“I don’t usually play games… how does this game work?”
“Oh, you don’t game much?”
“I usually watch dramas or movies during my free time.”
“That’s studying, isn’t it?”
“…I won’t deny that.”
As expected of a crazy acting genius, it seems Moon Chang-sik studies by watching different works even during his breaks.
Looks like it’s my turn to be the teacher this time?
“Here, let me show you some gameplay highlights.”
I wished I could show my broadcast highlights, but for a regular guy like Moon Chang-sik, seeing my character in the lower right might be off-putting, so I showed him the game footage from the game company’s official website while earnestly explaining the game.
“Oh… recent games are really well-made.”
As it’s an official video, the high-level gameplay footage made Moon Chang-sik admire it.
“The game has really high freedom.”
“You can play however you want?”
“Yeah. Almost anything is possible. The AI is also impressive and responsive.”
It really does allow a lot of things.
You can be a Yellow Turban, a general or a warlord, or even a merchant or governor.
“…That does sound fun.”
Whether it's because I explained it well or because he was captivated by the high freedom, stunning graphics, and impressive AI, Moon Chang-sik seemed surprisingly interested.
“Should I gift you the game?”
“Oh, do you have to buy it?”
“…You probably don’t have an account, right?”
What is he, like, a senior citizen? Explaining everything one by one would take a while.
But who am I?
I’m Miro, the first-generation star of the Celestial Realm and an official advertising model for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game.
Just as I was about to get my thoughts together and explain hard again...
“Let’s wrap up the game talk, and talk about work now.”
The Composer came in just at the right moment to cut me off.
“Oops.”
Now that I think about it, I was supposed to come here to talk about work, but got swept away in promotion.
I wonder if this is how a classmate feels when a peer starts selling jade plates?
For now, I straightened up my body, which had leaned a bit while explaining to Moon Chang-sik.
“Ahem, ahem, where did we get to in our discussion?”
“As soon as you arrived, you talked about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so nothing has progressed.”
“Ahaha….”
“Well, we have plenty of time, so it’s okay.”
“Thank goodness for that….”
Right, it’s around lunchtime, so I do have enough time.
Since Moon Chang-sik doesn't have a schedule today either.
“But the schedule itself isn’t that loose, you know?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yeah, we actually started late.”
Thinking back to when the talk first started, it does feel like we gathered a bit late.
But I feel a bit worried.
Isn’t there going to be a huge penalty fee if we can’t manage the schedule properly?
“Um… is our schedule okay?”
“Oh, it’s not too tight since it’s an OTT drama. You have plenty of time on your side.”
“Seems like the OTT side gives more time?”
When I asked that, thinking it must be because it’s an overseas giant capital being generous, he subtly shook his head, indicating that wasn’t the case.
“Well, compared to regular broadcast dramas, they have much tighter schedules.”
The Composer seems to have experience in that area, as he shows an expression that seems tired just thinking about it.
...That side really seems tough.
“Then couldn’t you start a bit earlier?”
Even if they have some leeway, wouldn’t it be better to start early?
Even if Moon Chang-sik is busy, he should be able to spare a day to get into the groove.
“Oh, this was Chang-sik’s suggestion.”
Moon Chang-sik suggested it?
I turned my gaze to him, and he waved a piece of paper he brought.
“Kim Soo-hyun said he’d like to do a shoot once and join the singing.”
He said that as he put the paper he was holding down on the table.
“What is this?”
“It’s the character settings for Moon Chang-won.”
Moon Chang-won is the name of the character Moon Chang-sik plays in the drama.
Since he’s a prominent villain in the drama, the character setting book placed on the table is filled to the brim.
“Moon Chang-won?”
“It’s my theme song, so I asked the writer to prepare it for reference.”
A theme song, huh?
“Excuse me?”
“Broadly speaking, it’s one of the OSTs, but more specifically, it’s my theme song.”
I heard it's a song that appears in the drama….
“Why would I sing Moon Chang-won’s theme song?”
Shouldn’t I be featuring with Moon Chang-sik instead?
Feeling a bit of role reversal, I asked, but Moon Chang-sik shook his hand as if to say that’s not the case.
“It’s better when a singer sings this kind of stuff. And Lady Soo-yeon is a victim of Moon Chang-won, so you have enough qualifications.”
“Oh, I see.”
So, I’m a representative of the victims, huh?
I think I'm starting to understand why Moon Chang-sik delayed starting work until I filmed.
“After listening to it, I can get a rough idea of the feeling. Then let’s decide on the song concept first?”
With the Composer's words as a starting point, we started a serious meeting.
