Episode 92. Emergency meeting (2)
“Puff.”
At the time when I was panicking inside. Shin So-ra suddenly burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing?”
“oh. I’m sorry if I offended you. Oppa’s expression and tone. It looked very strange.”
“What is it?”
Shin So-ra raised the corners of her eyes with her index finger and said.
“If it were like the old days, your eyes would be like this, don’t be arrogant and climb up… Because he said the same thing.”
“Sorry about that.”
“Boo. It was a joke, a joke! If you take it seriously, it will be embarrassing.”
“It’s true that I was mean to you. You have to apologize.”
“Then could you kiss me as an apology?”
“… … .”
For an instant, because of a man’s instinct, I reflexively looked at her lips.
“oh. I haven’t told you where to kiss me yet. Did you want to do it here?”
Shin So-ra, realizing this like a ghost, laughed mischievously. I got embarrassed and turned my head away.
“Is it fun to tease you like this?”
“hehehehe. Totally fun!”
If you had fun, that would have been it.
Shin So-ra smiled for a while and then continued talking.
“Everything feels like a dream because I have a close and comfortable conversation like this.”
“There is nothing difficult. If you want to be by my side, just be comfortable.”
At my answer, she shook her head sadly.
“I also want to be proudly by your brother’s side… . It’s difficult for me right now. There are stars around you that you dare not step into. Do you even get the feeling that those stars will drag you and take you to the high sky?”
“You don’t have to use the word ‘dare’.”
“Even if my brother said that, I can’t accept it. so… . Even if what my brother told me earlier was a true confession… . I would have refused.”
“You didn’t hear what I said because you misunderstood it.”
Shin So-ra smiled and said.
“Hi-Hi. It can’t be. forgot already? Did I learn to extort money from rich guys because I learned that comment from my brother?”
“Ugh. It was.”
Shin So-ra’s expression softened when I felt that I was confused.
“brother.”
“why?”
“You said that on the roof of the 1st grade building the other day, right? Even if it looks like this, it’s still the first time. above and below. And the back too!”
“wait for a sec.”
“By the way, I wasn’t even allowed to touch my breasts and buttocks! I’ve never touched anyone except my brother… … .”
“Wait a minute! But why are you telling this story?”
I had no spirit tolerance for this type of subject, so I cut off the conversation without realizing it.
I always try to treat others with a logical and rational mindset, but since I’m that type of person, I’m on the weak side for radical actions that aim at me blindly.
“It’s because my brother makes that face.”
“What expression did I make?”
“It’s a guilty look.”
“It must be because of the mood. I had my usual expression.”
“It’s because I can’t see my brother’s face. I see it all in my eyes as a woman. The more you like someone, the more you can see each and every one of those subtle facial expressions.”
Was the word “I like you” making people’s hearts so heavy? It felt like a heavy lump of iron had been pushed into my stomach.
“So what did you want to ask of me?”
I tried to change the topic.
“I told you earlier. I am too shabby to approach my brother now.”
“… … so?”
I thought the conversation would repeat over and over again if I tackled him again, so I decided to ask only the main points.
“So I decided to shine in my own way. It is an advantage that only I have that others do not have.”
“Are you talking about idols?”
“Idols… . Actually, I originally thought of becoming an idol if I hadn’t met my brother like this.”
I know that.
Among the recruiting episodes to recruit Shin So-ra as a colleague, there was a story in which she worked as an idol in the form of volunteer work using the Event Horizon system.
A system that allows outside activities while being recognized for attendance at Signal if the condition of non-profit and social contribution is followed.
It was the same system I used the other day when I went to counseling Na Seol-ah, a genius violinist girl like Seol Chae-hwa.
‘Was it an episode that helped her as her daily manager?’
It was the original information that has become useless now. Because of the addition of the history that I knew Shin So-ra from the past, the affinity level was already at its maximum.
“Looking at what you’re saying, it looks like you’ve changed your mind.”
“yes. Come to think of it, idol activities take too much freedom. So, the next thing I considered was internet broadcasting… … . brother. Have you ever heard of virtual broadcasting?”
“Virtual?”
“yes yes! It’s a concept where I control a character in a cartoon and broadcast it like a human, right?”
I replied with a bitter smile.
“I know roughly. So you don’t have to teach me such gibberish. Anyway, I can understand the intention of making a difference by succeeding with virtual broadcasting. But what does that have to do with your request to me?”
This intrigued me personally.
Internet broadcasting. She said that the virtual activity past was rarely mentioned in detail in the original work. In a word, it was an unknown territory that I did not know well.
Shin So-ra wiggled her index finger and said.
“You know what… . I quit doing virtual broadcasting in the past, right? But since I’m returning after a long time, I’m afraid, right?”
“Are you scared? why?”
“When the broadcast ends. I quit without saying anything.”
I knew that the reason for my retirement from broadcasting was ‘the wise man’s time has come’.
I tried to gain popularity with a different challenge, but at some point I got tired of the act of chatting and acting cute in a room with no one around, so I gave up.
“Why did you quit?”
“That’s it… . Ehehehe. I’m a bit embarrassed to say it, but do I have to answer?”
Apparently, the reason for his retirement from broadcasting was similar to the original work.
“okay. If you’re having trouble talking, you don’t have to. I just asked without thinking. So what am I going to do?”
There is only one thing Shin So-ra wants from me. It was even a very simple request.
“Are you asking me to stay by your side during the return broadcast?”
“yes. I think I can gather courage if I stay with my brother.”
It wasn’t difficult enough.
Rather, it was a bland request that was somewhat steamy for me, who knew I would ask for a more stimulating request.
“I’ll listen to that.”
“Oops! Then, will you prepare for the broadcast right away?”
“… uh? g, now? here?”
As Shin So-ra said, it was on the floor. When I entered this rooftop, I opened the duffel bag that stood out for a moment and took out something.
“Because the times have improved these days, we can do virtual broadcasting outdoors like this~ Wait a minute. I’ll take out some transmission drones first!”
Excited, she started working hard, alternating between the drone and the smartphone.
‘I have a hunch that this is not an easy request.’
Usually this hunch was almost always right.
Around the time the setting, which had been going on for about 10 minutes, was finally over and the broadcast started.
“Oh, brother. What to do with this?”
“no. My voice won’t go through the mic… … .”
Because a major accident broke out as if I had been waiting for it.
***
A hologram meeting room in the Signal Campus.
Inside, an instructor supervising the Meteor Shower tryouts. And there were examiners who evaluated the test and assistants who assisted them.
Currently, they were urgently convened in the conference room, and a heated meeting was in the middle of the day. The key agenda was the topic of competition saturation in the dealer position of the first year participants.
Kwon Young-tae from Class 1, Class 2, capable of ultra-long-range attacks.
Byun Jin-soo of Class 4 in the 1st year, who said that no one in the same grade could follow him in pure hand-to-hand combat.
Agility and speed beyond the human category. In particular, Byung-Min Woo of Class 8 in Year 1, who says that even the strongest can be neutralized in one blow if the place and environment are followed.
and.
‘Kim Do-yoon… … .’
Why was this emergency meeting held? The decisive factor, needless to say, was because of him.
One of Shin So-ra’s three loyal subjects who attended the meeting as an assistant instructor. Jeong Gyu-min was carefully listening to the conversations between the examiners.
It was an intention to deliberately create an unfavorable environment for him to fail the exam. The original plan was the same, but the result was the exact opposite. Rather, it became a kind of boosting him, who was mainly evaluated as ambiguous.
“They are talented people that are hard to get rid of.”
“that’s right. Do I really have to pick only two people without flexibility?”
Opinions at the meeting were divided into two main parts.
“The principle must be followed.”
“If the rules are changed at the right time, you won’t be able to avoid being criticized for running a rule-of-thumb operation, right?”
Wild card by changing the rules even now. Opinion to reinforce talent by adding a so-called additional pass system. And according to the existing principle, it was divided into opinions that only people with a certain position should be selected.
“What was important to us now? My primary goal is to get my first win in the Meteor Shower.”
“If you put forward a justification for victory, wouldn’t it be okay to urgently revise the rules?”
Opinions differed sharply from each other.
“What if I change the rules and bring them back, but I can’t even win a game and get eliminated?”
“If you drop out like this, then it will end with a comment like that! I took it to the middle of the regulation and changed it, but what if it falls? It means that we will become a laughing stock along with it!”
The gist of the argument was this. This time, it seems like it will really work, so let’s try to recruit additional people even if it’s an irrational number. It’s obvious that it won’t work anyway, but why are you trying to do it in a way that will come out behind your back?

Jeong Gyu-min was lost in thought for a moment.
‘To drive Kim Do-yoon into a corner, it would be better to support the opinion that we should stick with the current method.’
To Jeong Kyu-min, the rise and fall of Meteor Shower did not matter. That’s why I always refused even though I was asked to participate in the Meteor Shower several times.
The important thing is Shin So-ra’s unbreakable fan heart.
Even if Shin So-ra doesn’t take his side. Even if he was prepared to be hated, he wanted to get rid of the dirty touch toward her. It was the most important thing to him.
To this end, even if it means sacrificing myself, I will throw my body at it. Jeong Gyu-min opened his mouth with such a determined will. It was to bring out words to agree with the opinion of maintaining the status quo.
『Ehehehe. I started broadcasting… Won’t you come to see me? Bar, are you busy? I can’t help it if you’re busy. sorry… .』
At that time, the meeting room fell into silence for a moment at the gloomy voices of women that were heard simultaneously. A voice heard through a machine, not a voice spoken by a person.
exactly.
‘Shin So-ra. No, Scaring turned on the broadcast… ?!’
Internet broadcasting platform. It was a custom broadcast start notification sound that was heard when a certain streamer started broadcasting in Star Witch.
Drooling!

Jeong Gyu-min stood up from his seat with eyes wide open. Coincidentally, the other two of the three loyalists, Kwak Min-ki and Jo Seung-ah, who also attended the conference room were the same.
did they understand each other? Without saying a word, they looked at each other and nodded their heads.
“Hey, I don’t know who was secretly talking on the phone, but during the meeting it was on silent mode… … .”
The moment the instructor in charge of moderation was about to point out what he was talking about.
“I’m sorry during the talk. I’m going to go out first because something important has happened.”
“Ahahahaha, sorry. I will follow you for the same reason.”
“me too.”
Shin So-ra’s three loyalists rushed out of the meeting room without permission.
They moved their steps with a spleen expression, and eventually came to a certain place. We entered the break room reserved for the employees, locked the door, and sat down side by side in chairs.
“hey. Seungah Cho. Did you bring your tablet? See you on the big screen.”
“Yes.”
While Cho Seung-ah went to pick up the tablet, Jung Kyu-min and Kwak Min-ki just tinkered with their smart phones without saying anything to each other. In particular, Kwak Min-gi was the most restless.
“Mingi, be patient. to see you together.”
“But how did this happen? Didn’t Scaring temporarily retire? He did it to us with his own mouth. I said I quit because I didn’t feel motivated anymore.”
Sora Shin. The nickname that works as a virtual avatar is 『Scaring』. As an Internet broadcaster, it is polite in the industry to call her by her nickname. At least Shin So-ra’s three loyalists thought so.

Jeong Gyu-min answered with a more serious face than ever before.
“It’s not like there was a sudden change of heart.”
“In that case too… … . Did that son of a b*tch do something?”
Doyoon Kim. It could not have been a presence that caused a whirlwind of controversy inside and outside the conference hall.
“Let’s not think too hard yet. It’s not too late to judge after watching the broadcast.”
In the meantime, Cho Seung-ah finally brought the tablet and the cradle. They sat side by side in the break room, put the tablet on the desk, and after taking a deep breath, they started Star Witch.
“right. Even if you see the screen as Cho Seung-ah’s, we should turn on the broadcast on our smartphones.”
“Yes! I would have made a mistake if I hadn’t said it. Our scaring is very sensitive to the number of viewers.”
Kyu-Min Jeong and Min-Ki Kwak turned on scaring broadcasts on their smartphones, and then moved their gaze back to Seung-Ah Cho’s tablet screen.
What you see on the screen are the words ‘preparing for broadcast’ and cute pictures of Scaring drawn with SD characters. If you listen carefully, the theme song of Scaring’s broadcast is also playing calmly.
For them, the melody is more familiar than anything else. It was the waiting screen before the start of the nostalgic broadcast.
As soon as the broadcast was turned on, question marks quickly began to fill the chat. In between, chats like ‘ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ’ and ‘I missed you’ were intermittently mixed.
if it was usual
Shin So-ra’s three loyalists must have played a part in the bursting chatting firepower. But now I couldn’t.
“No matter how hard I try to think about it, I think that bastard did something.”
As Kwak Min-ki muttered while biting his thumb, Jeong Kyu-min let out a small sigh.
“To be honest, I have some doubts. The reason to do the return broadcast in a situation where the selection test is in progress… … .”
It was then.
“wow. There are so many viewers.”
A male voice that should never be heard in a female virtual streamer broadcast. In particular, for the three major loyalists, just hearing about it is an uncomfortable existence.
“You trash bastard! I knew it! After all, you crossed the line, right?!”
Kwak Min-gi’s eyes turned upside down.
The voice heard from beyond the broadcast was undoubtedly Kim Do-yoon’s.
