Episode 93. emergency meeting (3)
Gyu-min Jeong. Minki Kwak. Seungah Cho.
Called Shin So-ra’s three loyal subjects, they did not know each other at all.
Kyu-min Kyu-min was stressed due to a disagreement with his girlfriend, Min-gi Kwak was stressed over raising his family, and Seung-ah Cho was stressed feeling lethargic due to career problems because he had no goal in life.
No matter how much an adult is called the epitome of specialness, the moment of stress was the same as everyone else.
but.
‘Patient Jeong Gyu-min. Your stress level is your risk level. I have to manage it slowly.’
‘My stress level is very high. This could lead to further exposure to the Halo phenomenon.’
‘I’ll prescribe medicine for you first, but if you rely on it too much, it’s troublesome. You have to find a way to de-stress yourself.’
Unlike the general public, stress is a very serious issue for adults.
complications that result from it. It was because if he went through the Halo phenomenon, it could have harmed the lives of other people around him.
‘hello! Nice to meet you~ I look forward to seeing you!’
different perspective. other places.
and the same person.
The three loyal subjects met her on the street as if by fate. Sora Shin. The moment I saw them handing out leaflets, smiling brightly, and sometimes holding onto the set microphone and singing and dancing.
Both thought the same thing.
that this person I met a being who can relieve the negative emotions that are in me.
Everyone felt like destiny.
‘yes? What’s your phone number? Ah~ What should I do with this? I have a contract, so I can’t tell you anything related to personal information. Open talk is fine, but would you do that?’
I met Shin So-ra, who was active as an underground idol at the time, and fell in love with her charm and let go of my stress with enthusiasm.
Sing if you sing. Dance if you dance. If it’s a joke, it’s a joke. Even the outstanding body and youthful appearance. Shin So-ra’s talent was too much to be active as an underground idol.
Then one day, when the news came out that Shin So-ra was quitting her idol activities, it felt like the world was collapsing.
[ah! But please don’t be too upset. You guys are fans who have loved me since the beginning, so I’m letting you know in a special way~]
When I heard that she was turning into a virtual streamer, I was delighted again.
Giving the streamer nickname ‘Scaring’ and ‘Milky Star’, which means Scaring’s fandom name, were all given by the current three loyalists.
As they were elder fans who loved Shin So-ra and Scaring for a longer time than anyone else, the affection the three of them had for Shin So-ra was more special than others.
“This is not the time for us to be like this! Kim Do-yoon, that bastard. Shouldn’t we find it right away and stop it from spoiling the scaring broadcast?”
Kwak Min-gi jumped up from his chair with a huff. Unlike him, Jung Kyu-min and Jo Seung-ah calmly watched the broadcasting screen.
“You get upset too easily. watch more We still don’t know exactly what his intentions are.”
“You can’t even see that? Can’t you see that I have giblets in the chat window? Because you can hear Kim Do-yoon’s voice, you’re making misunderstandings like the viewers!”
The moment Kim Do-yoon’s voice was broadcast, the firepower that had already been strong because it was a surprise broadcast was burning even more.
In fact, it was a coming out broadcast to reveal that he was a man. It’s like saying that he stopped broadcasting without saying anything because he was afraid of being found out as a man. The chat window went up so quickly that I couldn’t even read it properly.
“Scaring. You must have been very nervous. If it was like before, I would have explained right away.”
“Winner! You look at that and don’t you think?”
When Kwak Min-ki asked while pointing his finger at the screen, Seung-ah Jo tilted her head.
“There must be a reason.”
“okay! There must be a reason! The reason Shin So-ra isn’t enough, so I’m going to play with scaring!”
“Isn’t that too speculative?”
“what? You’re trying to cover that guy… . Kut. right. It was.”
Currently, Jo Seung-ah is brainwashed by Kim Do-yoon. Upon realizing this fact, Kwak Min-gi’s face became even more distorted.
And as if we promised each other, we started to think the same thing even though no one said it.
It was a thought about why Shin So-ra became an idol and why she became a virtual streamer.
“The reason why I did this… ? Actually, it’s not that great… . I want to be special. many people… I hope you like me. Ehehehe… … .”
This is a fact that everyone in Milky Star knows. Although it was a broadcast opportunity that Scaring revealed through broadcasting.
[There is someone I want to become a special existence and look back on me.]
A VVIP open chat room where only Shin So-ra and the three loyalists exist. There, they were able to hear about Shin So-ra’s true broadcasting opportunity.
because it was
Kwak Min-ki burst into more anger. Because the person Shin So-ra harbored that kind of heart was a person stained with all kinds of filthy past. Even she was a victim of gaslighting by him from a long time ago.
“Ahh. mic test. everyone. Can you hear me well?”
On the broadcast, Kim Doyoon’s voice came out again. At first, it seemed like it was a broadcast accident, but now it seemed that he had no intention of hiding it at all.
“No way, that son of a b*tch. You weren’t trying to do that sh*t like you did to me on live? Your scaring is now mine. Kkeuk! Trying to turn inside out like this… … !”
Kwak Min-gi, who looked as if he would run away at any moment, blurted out his words midway through. It was because of Kim Do-yoon’s sudden action during the live broadcast.
“What are you doing… … . Have you turned around?”

Jeong Gyu-min was also dumbfounded and muttered dejectedly.
Because it was such a sad situation.
***
A few minutes before the broadcast accident.
I was watching Shin So-ra demonstrate how to move the virtual avatar.
east west north south. before and after. The drones filming her from various angles perfectly detected Shin So-ra’s slight movements.
I looked at the hologram monitor projected by the drone. There, her character follows Shin So-ra’s actions in the same way. She saw an avatar called Scaring.
“This, this… … . This is the character from when I did a virtual broadcast… . uh… how is it?”
Not the lively look he showed in Signal, but a wrinkled expression. Recognizing him, Scaring on the other side of the monitor also had the same appearance.
‘It’s a little hard to say that I can feel the acting, isn’t this completely the same as Shin So-ra’s early days?’
The first meeting between me and Shin So-ra, seen in my memory. It was so similar to her appearance at the time when she was begging on the street.
“Why did you come up with such a broadcast concept? You could make it based on your current appearance.”
Even as an outsider, I couldn’t imagine that a character like that would be major.
Shin So-ra clears her throat once, then returns to her normal appearance in the jjuguri mode. Back to twinkle mode.
“Originally, I prepared to debut as a virtual streamer with a character that I thought would be popular. Would you like to see it?”
A new character appeared on the hologram monitor.
“Does this look similar to your current look?”
“that’s right. It’s a child named Karu.”
“Why didn’t you do it with this character? I think Karoo looks better than Scaring.”
“uh… . If that’s your opinion, shall we sell a broadcasting account with the Karoo character instead of just scaring?”
“no no. I don’t mean that! I wanted to ask why you chose this Scaring character and not Karoo for your debut.”
Shin So-ra gave an awkward smile.
“At that time, I thought about this. I thought that if I became popular with an unpopular character, that popularity would be more valuable and shine.”
“The intention was fine. I heard that you were as popular as you wanted? Isn’t that a dream come true?”
“that is… . When I actually started broadcasting, I thought that it would be better to just gain more popularity with a popular character.”
“Did you stop broadcasting because you felt the limit?”
When I asked her, she looked stunned. It was as if I had been stabbed in the right direction.
“Brother, you know that. It sounds like a very loser, but would you like to hear it?”
“are you okay. Don’t look at me and talk comfortably. I am here to help you.”
I asked him to stay by my side, but I didn’t mean to do anything to be ignorant.
“So you know… .”
Shin So-ra’s subsequent explanations were truly everyday worries and conflicts.
Contrary to the initial intention of the broadcast, as the scale grew, they became more greedy. Having a rival, feeling a sense of competition, wanting to grow more, but feeling the limits with the current concept, etc.
“But when I gave up on the concept of Scaring and made a new one, the existing fans caught my eye?”
“Ugh. yes… . So I thought I’d rather quit than keep stressing over this.”
That life doesn’t go the way you want it to. There is something I want, but I can’t fully achieve it, and I have to consider a compromise in my unsatisfied mind. The reality of putting it all down because I don’t like it.
It was a case that I came across frequently while studying as a counseling psychologist.
“But now you were thinking of trying again?”
“yes. In the past, I gave up because I thought there was a limit to scaring, but looking back now, I wondered if I was lacking. So I’m going to try it again.”
“Are you okay? It seems like a pretty important decision, but you have to hold onto the blade for something like this.”
Shin So-ra shook her head. Scaring, who was next to her, also shook her head.
“It can’t be done now. I think this resolution will back down later. So when my brother said he would do me a favor, I made up my mind to make a decision right now.”
“If that’s what you mean, it can’t be helped.”
Even while she was talking to me, she was diligently preparing for the broadcast. Perhaps a lot of pre-work was needed, so I alternated between the smartphone, the hologram monitor, and the drone.
“Phew. I’m ready.”
“Can I stand a little further and watch? I can’t be caught by drone cameras.”
“It’s okay~ This is set so that only me is recognized on the screen, so oppa doesn’t have to worry about it.”
“What about the voice?”
“The voice is the same. So please stay safe and stay close to me! I think that’s how we can broadcast without shaking.”
If that’s you, then that’s it. I said yes and stood behind her.
“brother? Do you want me to come closer?”
“This is close enough.”
“It is too far for me.”
One step closer.
Shin So-ra’s expression darkened.
“brother… . Don’t you like being with me?”
“How close do you want me to be… .”
“Can you come behind my back?”
“I heard your avatar moves as you move? Won’t it get in the way if I’m by your side?”
“I’ll take care of that!”
She swayed up and down with her fists clenched. Maybe it was because he had a career as an idol, but the behavior of revealing aegyo was a part of his body.
“Ugh. Stay like this, right?”
“It’s better if you give me a back hug from behind.”
“… If you do that, it will make your fans feel guilty, so bear with it.”
Especially since her three loyal subjects would be watching the broadcast with their eyes wide open. I know very well that there are minimum rules that I have to follow.
“Chemm! that, then… . I’ll start broadcasting… ?”
Is clearing your cough a routine for your image transformation? After seeing Shin So-ra change back to the jjuguri mode, I moved my gaze toward the hologram monitor.
All you can see is a standby screen that reads ‘Preparing for broadcast’ and an exciting melody. Next to it, you can see the chat window and the number of viewers soaring in real time.
“wow. There are so many viewers.”
My voice didn’t go through the microphone, so I muttered without much thought.
That carelessness was the root cause.
= ????????????
= What was the voice you just said? did i hear wrong?
= It’s been a long time since I’ve been on air, so I thought I was back. What kind of male voice?
= Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
= Wow. Why did you suddenly close the broadcast and turn it on again, but in fact, you turned it on to come out because you were a man?
= Regeno;
The speed at which the chat window overflowed became even faster.
even.
“Oh, no… ! What you just heard is wrong… .”
Perhaps because it was a long-overdue broadcast, Shin So-ra poured oil into the chat window with unreasonable numbers.
She hastily manipulated something. An icon indicating mute appeared on the hologram monitor.
After that.
“Oh, brother… ! uh, what to do? I must have made a mistake in the settings… … . It’s normal that oppa’s voice shouldn’t go in… . Why, why did this happen?”
Shin So-ra, who was completely possessed by scaring, began to speak gibberish in panic.
“calm down. It’s not over yet.”
“I don’t know if my brother knows… . This kind of virtual streamer is said to be a pseudo-dating, so… … ! I’m not saying I hate my brother, but how can I explain this? ugh… .”
“Be calm. I know what you mean. Real idols are like that too. yes?”
She nodded her head and burst into tears.
‘The situation has become difficult to make excuses in a normal way now.’
The golden time has already passed.
It was a bit of an excuse to say the same thing about the staff helping to prepare for the broadcast or the family.
that you didn’t hear You could hear my voice clearly, but why are you denying it?
Doubt is hard to pull out once it starts to sprout.
‘then.’
Even so, the atmosphere of the broadcast was a crucible of chaos due to Scaring’s surprise return. I even heard a man’s voice there, which made it even more inflamed.
Now that things are easily out of control, there is only one way left. It was just a counter-fire operation.
“Shin Sora. That old avatar you just showed me. Can you sync me?”
“yes yes? that… Why is that all of a sudden?”
Originally, Shin So-ra, like Kang A-ram, was a person who should have been recruited through a colleague recruitment episode. Thanks to the manipulated past me, I attracted such an existence as an ally very easily.
I’ve always been uncomfortable with that fact.
‘Even if it wasn’t like that, I could have made Shin So-ra on my side with my own strength.’
It was my intention to prove it here and now.
Anyway, since eating her request raw was something that bothered me, there was nothing to hold back.
“As long as you help me, I’ll lay the plate for you. You just have to respond according to my acting. Do you remember the last time the two of us dealt with a trio of bullies?”
“Ah, I get it… . wait a minute.”
After a while.
A green laser beam from the drone scanned every nook and cranny of my body. Then, the character Shin So-ra showed at the beginning seemed outgoing. Karoo’s character was caught on the screen for transmission.
“Synchronization is complete.”
I moved my arms and head as a test. Karoo in the screen for transmission also followed my actions perfectly without making a single mistake.
“I feel strange… .”
netkama.
Anyone who has played online games has probably burned it at least once. It reminded me of those villains who pretend to be women even though they are men.
When I met a guy like that in a game, I would criticize him for not having any pride as a man, but I felt sick to my stomach when I became that kind of person.
“Oh, that would be true of my brother. radish… You don’t have to help me too much.”
“no. If you’re going to do me a favor, I’ll be sure to help. Rather, can you make that character appear on the broadcast screen?”
“divination… Are you okay?”
“I have an idea. I’ll hit it in first, so if you want it at this time, put it on the Scaring character screen.”
I heard that virtual avatars are acting characters in creation.
then.
“Can you briefly tell us about the background of the character Scaring?”
“Ugh. Roughly speaking, I refused to go to school due to the shock of being bullied at school… I started broadcasting while I was bored in my room… It’s such a loner character concept.”
“good. Then it will be easy to match with your old character.”
“yes… ? Is it the exact opposite image?”
“I know when I see it. I’m ready, so show me on the old character broadcast screen. Unmute it too.”
If there is a character in the creation and a background suitable for it. I also need to incorporate into the background. Just as the existence of Kim Do-yoon was added to the world of Psychic Age.

Jiying.
Another drone projected a wide rectangular hologram into the air.
“Oh, brother. I’m almost done with the setup. If you get within that square range, your brother’s character will appear on the broadcast screen.”
“That’s the shooting range. Mute yet?”
“yes. Shall we solve it right away?”
“You can release it.”
I felt uncomfortable, but I persevered.
It’s just one part of fulfilling her request to make Shin So-ra proudly on my side.
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
After first grasping the emotion line. I entered the shooting range with an expression that matched the image of Karu’s character.
First of all, it’s like sticking out so that only the head of the character is visible.
“hello. I’m a skating friend~”
As a beautiful girl character, when she appeared with a manly voice, the chat window was once again covered with question marks. Shin So-ra’s expression watching me from outside the shooting range was the same.
“everyone. Are you surprised? Ah, mic test~ One, two, three~”
I say that as if teasing the viewers.
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
He showed a customized nature suitable for this situation.
And again.
Once more.
“Ahh. Does it sound good? one. two. three? Hee hee, surprise~”
The man’s voice, which had been begging, gradually changed.
A popular female student leading a signal life. A voice that perfectly imitated Shin So-ra of today began to flow on the air.
