Chapter 403
Today is a day off from filming.
It’s truly a sweet, honey-like break.
But this Buhwang Miro has turned on the broadcast not to enjoy the rest, but to give back to society.
[Today’s Practice]
As promised with the Composer, I plan to practice guitar.
So, before turning on the broadcast, I made sure to grab my guitar as well.
It’s the guitar I found in the warehouse last time, dusted off and ready to go.
Well, it might be better to buy a new one since I’ll have to practice hard again, but… I’ll think about that later.
For now, I intend to bring this guitar back up to my previous level.
-??
-Practice??
-What are you practicing?
-Whale hunting practice?
It looks like the viewers are confused by the sudden topic of practice, and it’s totally understandable since they haven’t heard anything yet.
But hey, we do have some fond memories from before, right?
“Today, I’m planning to practice guitar after a long time.”
I think the viewers in my room, many of whom have been around for a while, will quickly recall their memories.
-Guitar??
-All of a sudden??
“I decided to practice again, so I turned on the broadcast to practice together.”
As I said that, I pulled up the sheet music on the screen.
“Does everyone still have the guitar they bought before? Let’s practice together after such a long time.”
-????
-Is this real?
-No way, what’s happening?
-Give me back Mark!
-Did this person change to Bard?
-Can’t you just play Mark?
“Well, from today on, it’s one hour of guitar practice followed by a game.”
As I said that, I set the timer to one hour on the broadcast screen.
I plan to practice the guitar until this timer runs out.
Mark can wait until after that.
-What kind of sudden news is this?
-If it’s one hour of guitar practice during your broadcast time…
-Give me back Mark!
“Shall we take a look at the sheet music together? Remember when we had guitar lessons before?”
Back when I first started practicing guitar.
So, um… 2 or 3 years ago?
Back then, I had also shared the sheet music on the broadcast and practiced together with the viewers.
Huh? I had a good intention to relive those memories after a long time, but…
-Mark Mark Mark Mark Mark Mark
-Rock
-Did you throw it away??
-Me
-Rock
“Hmm?”
But wait, the viewers seem to have turned into little kids in the meantime.
“Don’t you all like the guitar?”
-Yeah, yeah
-I really don’t like it
-Can’t we just play Mark??
-What kind of nonsense is this?
“Well… everyone seems to be a bit whiny these days.”
I changed the timer I had displayed on the screen to one hour and thirty minutes.
-????
-What’s happening?
-The timer has gone weird!
-Hey, shut up!
-Give me Mark!
-Let’s change it back to one hour…?
-Mark Mark Mark Mark Mark
“Oops, it’s doubled.”
This time I increased the time to two hours.
-Sorry
-I’m sorry
-Ah
-Sorry, sorry
-We messed up…
-Damn, Miro has lost it.
-No, just shut up already…
Only then did the chat seem to realize their mistake.
Indeed, with our viewers, we need to express opinions like this.
“It was just a little escapade for everyone, right?”
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Right? Hehe;;;
-Sorry
-Can you cut the time down to 30 minutes…?
“Ahaha, I was just joking.”
Well, I didn’t really intend to practice for two hours, so I changed the time back.
If I really did that, it would turn into a battle of wills… and I wouldn’t want to do it for that long anyway.
Practicing for one hour a day is more than enough.
-Phew
-Miro is amazing
-Kya hahaha
-Thank you…
Even though it’s the same amount of time, I took a moment to enjoy watching the viewers chat happily like little kids before picking up the guitar I had prepared.
Hmm… but is it a bit boring?
Looking at the broadcast screen, it was just the sheet music and my character sitting there.
And seeing the viewers laugh and enjoy while I announce just one hour of practice made me feel a bit odd.
“Would you like me to turn on the webcam even for a little bit?”
-????
-Really??
-For real??
-Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
“Since just listening might get boring anyway.”
Having suddenly announced an hour of guitar practice on such a dull screen after seeing Mark’s exciting moments, I understand why the viewers reacted the way they did.
Well then, if I turn on the webcam, it’ll at least bring some fun to the performance.
Since I’ve done it a few times on cooking or late-night broadcasts, I’m not particularly afraid of doing it again.
I put on a mask, adjusted the camera settings to make it focus below my neck, and then set it up.
After doing that, I put Miro’s character face on the webcam screen, and it turned out quite well.
“How’s this?”
-Kya
-Woah
-This is it, haha
-It looks smaller…
-Wow
-So pretty
“I’ll ban anyone saying it looks smaller.”
This guy… comparing the character to a real person?
-Hahaha
-Oh, the character is bigger though
-Can’t I report them??
The viewers surely know, but there’s no way it’s smaller.
Rather, it’s definitely… no, wait.
I shouldn’t have drawn attention to it.
“Let’s just play the guitar.”
I crossed my legs and placed the guitar on top.
“Can you see it well?”
When I waved my hand in front of the camera, the quality was pretty decent.
-Wow
-Look at those pretty hands
-Cute pants, haha
“Aren’t these pants cute? I have three of the same pair.”
These are the pajama pants I’m fond of.
Wearing pajama pants at home is just so comfortable.
-??
-Are you Shin-Chan? Haha
-Why do you have three pairs?? Haha
“It’s good to have more, right?”
If I only have one or two pairs, it wouldn’t rotate well.
Three pairs are necessary to match Mrs. Jang’s laundry schedule.
-What brand is that??
-If it’s that good, can you share the info?
“This? I’ll promote it when I get a sponsorship later.”
What, do I really have to introduce my pajamas now?
Now it’s time to play the guitar.
“Alright, let me take a look at the sheet music and play for a bit.”
So, I began to strum the guitar.
Hmm, it feels different playing after such a long time.
The sensation of plucking the strings feels a bit unfamiliar.
“How’s that?”
-Isn’t this just random playing?
-Do you know how to play anything?
-Forget the sheet music and just zoom in on the camera
-Have you forgotten everything?
“…Well, I did turn this on to practice.”
It’s okay if it’s not perfect.
After all, there’s plenty of time, so I can practice slowly.
-Take it easy, haha
-Just play guitar for two hours, yeah?
-Oh, the guitar looks so good
“…Seriously.”
Is the webcam really that good?
Even in pajama attire, I don’t understand what they find so appealing.
Anyway, I focused back on playing.
The song I want to play now is the guitar cover of a song from a Japanese band that I first learned.
Looking back now, it really wasn’t a beginner-level song…
But back then, I was quite young, I suppose.
Yet, after about 30 minutes of playing, it seems my fingers still remember some of it, producing a decent sound.
“How’s that now?”
-Kya, haha, now it’s sounding decent!
-I’ll be back with my glasses
-Hmm… a bit disappointing, but let’s just spend the whole day practicing the guitar?
“…Hmm.”
Am I really listening to the performance right now?
This is just ridiculous.
Rolling up my sleeves, I brought my fist close to the webcam.
“Aren’t you all paying attention?”
-Those little fists, though, haha
-Please, hit me!
-Sorry, sorry, haha
“Seriously.”
…What’s going on?
Back in cooking or late-night broadcasts, it wasn’t like this at all.
“If you’re not paying attention, then I’ll just turn off the camera and play Mark.”
-Ah
-We’re sorry…!
-Sorry…
“Then do better next time.”
Anyway, I continued practicing the guitar.
Still, after doing this after such a long time, my fingers are starting to ache.
But feeling the sound coming out and becoming a better player feels truly fulfilling.
Since it’s a song I loved enough to choose it as my first practice song, I couldn’t tell how long I had been humming and practicing.
Now, as the timer gradually approached 0, I was satisfying myself with the results of what I managed to pull off in just an hour.
“How’s this? Am I playing well now?”
-Yeah, yeah
-Really well, haha
-Why are you so good??
-Why did you even turn on the webcam??
-Can you sing the song you were humming properly?
“Sing? I mean, it’s not like I can’t.”
-Really???
-Are you seriously going to sing?
Thinking about it, we promised to have a singing broadcast, so should we do it today?
Maybe it’s because it’s a holiday broadcast, but I’m feeling energetic.
“Well, I’ll turn on the webcam and sing.”
After all, while fishing, there might not be much to do, so I thought it’d be a good idea to have a karaoke session then.
-Kya, haha
-Wow, today feels like a real deal
-What day is it?
“Well, it’s a day. The day before a day off.”
-???
-???
-No way…
Anyway, it’s about time to turn the camera off.
“Well then, the practice is done, so I’ll end the cam now.”
Since I’ve fulfilled my time, it’s now time for the Mark they’ve all been waiting for.
-No, no, no, no, no!
-Can’t you just leave it on?
-Viewer count is at its highest for the year; if you turn off the cam, everyone will leave!
“Oh, the viewer count is that high?”
-Yeah, yeah
-So many people are watching, haha
As I glanced at the chat and quickly checked the viewer count, it really was quite a lot.
…Did news spread or something? Why are there so many in here?
“Wow, so many people have come.”
Even I was surprised to see so many viewers that were hard to keep track of… but so what?
I promptly turned off the cam and switched to Mark.
-What a heartless move…
-Ah
-Please turn it back on!
“Okay, just wait, I’ll turn it back on for you.”
-Really???
-For real??
-Are you actually going to do that?
-Kya, haha
-Mi-hwan, you’re really the best!
Well, if they want it…
Before turning it on again, I adjusted the settings and made sure the webcam now showed my whole face instead of just my upper body.
Now that I’ve turned the cam back on…
“Tada, how’s this?”
The adorable and pretty Miro character is now being broadcasted.
With lovely pink hair and a fluffy image of Buhwang.
-?
-Me
-?
-Rock
-Aren’t you going to stop that?
-Damn it
“Now, I’m heading to Mark.”
Watching the delighted reactions, I logged into the Mark server.
I placed the guitar aside, and now, it was time to grab the fishing pole.
