Izakaya Sake.

The unwavering number one in Japan, and also the most famous VTuber in the world.

Her featuring set the community ablaze.

[What the hell is this?]

Am I seeing this wrong? LOL Why is Izakaya Sake on the featuring?

– Seriously LOL I doubted my eyes

– Oh, it’s Miroham LOL

– She sings incredibly well

Yeah, the vocal tone is insane.

[Miro <───── If she’s the god of connections, then major props LOL]

From the entertainment industry to the VTuber scene,

How does she have such solid connections everywhere? LOL

- It’s honestly impressive seeing Miro; where does she meet these people?

Seems like she roams around a lot when she’s not on air.

Damn;;

She’s quite the diligent one LOL

- Izakaya Sake is seriously out of nowhere though

Looks like she got close through Murasaki Tenshi, yeah.

Ah, she was there.

Big Tenshi.

[??: Damn, you said you’d be acting...]

(Anna's disgruntled expression meme)

Get lost in the entertainment world, damn...

- LOL

- Anna-ham is having a meltdown, major props LOL

- The king's throne is slipping further away...

- Will I make it to rank number one in the celestial realm before I die...

- As long as Miro is around, there’s no way. LOL

[I'm seriously surprised; why is she here?]

(A room filled with Izakaya Sake posters)

I was shocked to see her suddenly in Miro's music video LOL

- ??

- This punk...

- Get out, LOL

- Wow, this room is legendary

- This is what a "butaku" looks like, huh?

Damn;; pretending they aren't

Liking Miro isn't butaku, is it? LOL

- Mental victory, nice try

[Izakaya Sake, what’s that, nerds?]

Is it bar alcohol? What does that even mean?

- If you don’t know, get lost, you punk

- Is there someone more famous than your mom?

Damn you

- She’s above the entire celestial realm combined, LOL

- Hmm… is she really that strong?

Yeah, that’s about right.

If it’s Izakaya Sake, then that’s true LOL

[If this punk is a deity, then major props LOL]

(Murasaki Tenshi’s profile picture)

Every time she appears on broadcast, it’s legendary...

The one who made Miro join FPS...

The one who introduces her to connections from the homeland...

Simply put, a good year for Miro...

Just… Big Tenshi.

- Is that you again? T_T

- Plus, she’s doing well herself...

- This punk’s a GOAT, c’mon

- Honestly, meeting her in-game was Miro’s greatest luck.

Yeah, for real...

[Seriously, Miro vs. Tenshi, who’s more beneficial?]

Who’s better for Miro??

- Do you really think Murasaki Tenshi looks like a complete idiot to you??

LOL is it really that level?

Yeah, don’t cross the line;

- Free riders in the domestic VTuber industry vs. the major VTuber corporations from the homeland LOL

- No, damn, free riders are just punks

- Being looked down upon is rough LOL

- Honestly, who’s even in the celestial realm without Miro?

- Did you just say that?? Damn;;

- Seriously, take that back...

- These punks can’t counter that LOL

[Miro does seem like a mega socialite though;]

When did she get close to the homeland VTubers to get a featuring?

She’ll probably act while making an actor boyfriend too.

- For real LOL

- Don’t get ahead of yourself

- Where do you live, you punk?

- Making a boyfriend at work is wild, LOL

Nope.

[Miro’s new song views are insane LOL]

(Stats for the new song)

It’s legendary, right? Going to pierce the heavens LOL

- The guest impact was something else, for real

- It’s causing a stir over there too

- It’s a Japan-Korea unification, so we gotta escalate this LOL

[The reason the stats are hitting the heavens right now…]

(Izakaya Sake's Bluebird official account)

Miro’s song is being promoted here

- Wow LOL

- Major influence T_T T_T

- For real, how did the two get to work together?

Yeah, for real... I’m curious

- Didn’t Miro say anything?

- She just said they’re on friendly terms.

- What’s the reaction from the Japanese populace?

- They’re just as confused, LOL

- LOL

- Surprise reactions may be the way to go LOL

**

The public reactions are hot.

It’s about to burn their hands.

Well, it’s bound to be surprising.

None other than Izakaya Sake, so it’s bound to shake the industry.

The connection between a mega VTuber from Japan and a Korean VTuber—like that.

In reality, it’s a product gained by exchanging a few idol autographs.

Come to think of it, I still have some signatures I need to hand over.

I remembered the Beastz autographs left in the house's warehouse.

I need to give these someday, though I completely forgot about them.

Well, they’re sealed, so they won’t spoil, so I can take my time giving them.

"Hmm...."

Speaking of which, the growth trend is no joke.

Even without special promotions, just seeing the rising graph is satisfying.

While I was smiling at the growth trend,

“What are you smiling at?”

Moon Chang-sik, who was next to me, spoke up upon seeing me.

“Oh, it’s because that thing from the last time is going well.”

“Thing? Is it the broadcast?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Moon Chang-sik seemed to have guessed since he knows that I’m doing broadcasts.

Well... Actually, I think there are other people besides Moon Chang-sik who know as well.

If you search a little, it comes up.

If you type Miro, the related searches typically show up red pill.

It wouldn’t be surprising if that reversed search didn’t come out.

“Oh... is it still going well for you?”

“It’s going so well, it’s a problem.”

It’s going exceptionally well.

Subscribers and average viewers alike.

It’s about time for the growth rate to drop, but it just doesn’t.

I think it’s because I’m continuing to release songs.

“Well, does that mean the big stuff is all wrapped up?”

“The big stuff? Well... there are still some things left.”

First off, I need to record the ‘completed’ version.

As for the music video... to be honest, I’m debating whether to make one.

Since all conditions are pretty much satisfied anyway.

I think it could have an impact if I present the last song at the concert!

In my view, the impact of revealing a new song has already ‘diluted’ since I used my biggest featuring card.

Thanks to Rain doing a great job on the track.

“Hey, aren’t you busier than me?”

Moon Chang-sik said this seeing my busy state, but it made me chuckle.

“Come on.”

I might be busy, but I wouldn’t say I’m busier than Chang-sik.

These days, he's handling a very busy schedule with his drama release.

Filming some variety shows while gradually showing his face in the media, promoting the upcoming drama with its trailer already out.

Even though there’s still time until the drama airs, just thinking about how busy he'll be once it’s out is unimaginable.

The filming we’re doing now is already quite frantic too.

“By the way, are you okay after falling earlier?”

“That? I fell safely, so it’s all good.”

It seems like as the works peak, the intense scenes have started to increase.

Chang-sik just filmed a scene where he tumbles onto the floor.

Everyone’s being responsible about safety, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry a little about accidents.

I should be filming something similar soon, and I wonder if I can do well.

If I break a bone or something, that would be a strike.

“I’m heading off to prep for my next schedule.”

“Okay, see you.”

“Soo-hyun, your next shoot, right? I expect great things!”

“That’s putting pressure on me.”

“I’m just telling you to do well.”

Moon Chang-sik said that and quickly left.

As soon as today’s filming wrapped up, it seems he has to head off to another schedule.

Is this what being a big actor is like? Seems super busy.

Now that I too have to get into filming, I stopped dawdling and headed to the costume room to change into my new outfit for today.

“Soo-hyun, welcome!”

“Yep, I need to change into my outfit for the next shoot….”

“Oh, the director already gave a heads-up.”

Upon hearing my need to change into a filming outfit, the stylist in the costume room handed me a bunch of clothes.

"...Am I supposed to wear all this?"

From long skirts to jackets, and many layers under it.

They were all designer outfits with logos I felt I’d seen before, but honestly, that isn’t very important now.

I’ve worn these luxury brands so many times while filming that it’s not a big deal anymore, but rather....

“I’m seriously gonna melt.”

Wearing all that while filming, I’d sweat buckets.

The weather has long turned into summer vibes already.

Even if the sun isn’t blistering today, this is pushing it....

“Hahaha….”

But from the stylist’s awkward smile at my response, it seems like I really have to wear it.

“Ha...”

Yeah.

What sin does this person commit?

Since there’s no winning by complaining here, I accepted the clothes and headed to the costume room to put them on.

“Wow… you look amazing.”

“Y-Yeah, I guess.”

Fortunately, the clothes fit well.

No, considering they dressed me up nicely despite this weather, it would actually be weirder if it didn’t fit.

I admired my reflection, but I was somewhat timid about stepping outside.

Even while in the relatively cooler costume room, I was already feeling the heat.

Acting in this outfit outside?

If it gets too much, I need to let the director know.

Just as I thought about this, the stylist handed me something.

“This is…?”

“…To help you endure the heat.”

What I received was a handheld fan.

“Hahaha… thank you.”

I already had one that Han Se-ryeong had given me, but having two isn’t bad, so I accepted it gratefully.

I then left the costume room and immediately took off one of my outer garments.

It's hot, for real.

I can just wear it during filming later.

If I sweat, my makeup would be ruined, so I fervently used the fan to cool down as I headed back to my original spot.

Since I took off my jacket, I wasn’t too hot after all.

When I returned, Park Kang-seok was waiting by the area.

Watching him in a t-shirt made me feel a twinge of envy as I approached him, and he turned his head toward me.

Surprised by my outfit, he exclaimed.

“...Do you want to turn on the air conditioning in the car?”

“No... we’re starting filming soon.”

I’d love to, but I had to change outfits on time for this shoot, so filming is about to start.

I just want it done quickly so I can change back.

So for a moment, I sat down with Park Kang-seok and used the fan to cool off.

Turning the fan onto high speed actually helped a little, and I waited for everything to be ready.

“Alright, we’re starting to film!”

Hearing that, I immediately jumped up and headed to the filming location.

Fixing the slightly disheveled bangs from the airflow, I walked to the set where I saw multiple cameras and Han Ye-eun, who plays the female lead.

“Oh, Soo-hyun… uh, aren’t you hot?”

“It’s hot….”

“....”

Han Ye-eun also wore an outfit that didn’t fit the weather, but not as extreme as mine, so she kept quiet upon seeing me.

“Hahaha… I’m looking forward to today.”

“...Understood.”

Noticing my discomfort, she awkwardly smiled and spoke, to which I nodded in response.

Yeah, I’m melting, but thankfully, the mood isn't too bad.

That’s because…

I’m looking at the actress standing in front of me.

The popular actress with gentle deer-like features.

Looking at her white cheeks, I dusted off my hands.

Today is finally.

“Alright, we’ll start shooting now!”

It’s the day I get to slap the female lead.
