204 – The class president’s true intention
She started working as a virtuber in earnest when she was in her first year of high school.
Previously, she had a level of recognition that only those who knew her as a game-playing YouTuber, but when a new culture called virtuber took root in the industry and started to ride in earnest, the boat she rode went downhill. As if he had received it, he started moving forward.
In a way, it could be said that she was lucky.
If anything makes money, it is common for people to flock to it and become a red ocean.
Thanks to her, she has gained a level of recognition that can be counted among ten fingers among hundreds of Virtues.
She
In the early days of her activities, she didn’t know that she would become this popular, so she was quite confused, but Ayase got used to having hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
She still vividly remembers the day she got her first payout from her work as a vir tuber.
It was the first time in my life that I had touched such a large amount of money.
But the more popular she got, the more she started to have a delusion.
She plays a flashy character named Luna Minazuki on the outside, but behind it was Satsuki Ayase, an ordinary high school girl after all.
When she thinks that the popularity she is receiving now is not herself, but her character, Luna Minazuki, is receiving it, an unavoidable sense of estrangement has arisen.
How long will this popularity last, how long will she be able to play this character.
It is inevitable that such thoughts came naturally.
Her character, Minazuki Luna, who is set up as a rabbit from the moon, is the owner of an active personality, unlike her character who is usually static.
The longer she worked, the more stressed she was acting herself.
It was a time when Ayase continued her double life under her two names, going back and forth between home and school.
“Class president, is this you?”
The man in her class who seems to be the least otaku out there suddenly talks to her.
***
Yooseong Kim.
I knew his name and face.
That’s also true, because among the freshmen this year, the person who entered first was a Korean right in front of me.
She also thought that she was good at studying, but she faded in front of Kim Yu-seong.
Excellent grades and good looks.
Until the first semester, he was a man who had been unknowingly receiving the attention of female students. However, as he entered the second semester, he began to build up his muscles to the point of excessive wind, and now he is shunned by people around him.
The fact that bad rumors surrounding him began to circulate on campus probably played a big role.
Although he was in the same class, he was usually recognized as a person who had no reason to talk too much.
For her, the man named Kim Yoo-seong.
… It must have been.
“Class president, is this you?”
A question popped up suddenly.
On the screen of the smartphone in his hand, Luna Minazuki, played by Satsuki Ayase, was screaming loudly, and she was angry at the viewer who called her Doma.
Since it was broadcast only two days ago, she almost couldn’t control her expression for a moment, so she pretended to be as nonchalant as possible.
“Huh huh huh? What is this?”
However, doubts still persisted in Kim Yoo-seong’s eyes.
“I heard that your voice and this person’s voices are quite similar.”
Unless you’re an idiot, I can’t honestly answer his question here.
“I’m not sure, so could you please leave?”
The person inside Virtuber is a trade secret.
I couldn’t even imagine what would happen the moment the person who plays Minazuki Luna was identified as Ayase Satsuki, an ordinary high school girl.
Even now, some people brought her data from her broadcasting days without even turning on her cam and openly asked if she was the person she was.
After she held out her flippers, fortunately Kim Yoo-seong went back to her seat without a word.
She thought that this time she had cheated safely, but the truth was different.
It was only later that she found out that Kim Yoo-sung, who was half-sure of her, had guessed her circumstances and had just let her go.
And this incident was the opportunity for her to quickly become friends with Kim Yu-seong, who was in awe of Ayase Satsuki, who was acting as an ordinary honor student at school, as a macho.
***
Knock!
After Yuseong Kim closed the door and left, Satsuki Ayase slowly opened her eyes in her darkened room.
‘Stupid.’
There is a good reason why a woman shows her bare skin.
No matter how close you are, who would ask the opposite s*x to wipe the sweat on their backs?
She tried to appeal boldly in her own way, but Kim Yoo-seong didn’t seem to notice her seduction.
In fact, it was during her first year that Ayase developed a crush on her Yuseong Kim.
To be precise, it wasn’t her romantic feelings, it was just that she wasn’t bad as a member of the opposite s*x.
In the first place, she was in a situation where she couldn’t make her boyfriend.
Kim Yoo-seong thought that she couldn’t like Kim Yoo-seong unless she had a peculiar temperament, because her muscles were bulging and her expression was frightening.
She was so caught off guard when she was.
When I entered the second year, a formidable enemy appeared.
Rika Kishimoto.
A blonde gyaru from Shizuoka.
Her ordinary girl Shining beyond compare to her, she quickly took the seat next to Yuseong Kim.
If she had room for her intervention, she wouldn’t have been deterred.
However, attractive women appeared next to Kim Yoo-sung one after another, and when she came to her senses, she was closest to Kim Yoo-sung, and she herself was rather out of the way.
At that point, Ayase gave up his feelings for Yuseong Kim.
That’s also true, because the women around Kim Yu-seong were as beautiful as she could see.
It is better not to even try in the first place than to be caught up in an inferiority complex after being shy.
Because of that thought, Ayase gave up on him cleanly.
… I thought so.
But I realized it only today.
She had been ignoring her own heart until now.
The first person she found who no one took care of was Kim Yoo-seong, whom she had once given up.
He approached her in a friendly manner, no matter how curtly she tried to push him away.
‘That’s stupid. There’s no way you’ll like me like this.’
Kim Yoo-seong didn’t know it, but she glanced at his face while eating porridge.
He was sitting carefree, not knowing how fast others were going.
A blunt face that might be frightening to some, but Ayase was the first to notice the kindness in it.
‘I didn’t feel like I was dating someone yet.’
Actually, she knew that Yuseong Kim would be dating someone soon, so she gave up on a guess.
However, no matter how much time passed, Yuseong Kim did not hear that she was dating someone, even after her school trip was over.
‘Then do I still have a chance?’
Until now, I’ve been stepping back because I didn’t want to fight in the mud, but now may not be the time to argue about that.

If Yuseong Kim is no one’s yet, she makes it her own.
As Ayase made that resolution, he closed his heavy eyes due to a slight fever.
First of all, getting better from a cold was the priority.

After she finished washing the dishes, she looked at the clock on her phone to return home, and it was already 7 o’clock.
“Then I’ll be on my way. Please lock the door.”
“Yes!”
Ayase’s younger brother heard me and nodded vigorously.
“Should I come again next time?”
“Of course.”
As her sister grabbed the hem of her pants and pulled it up, she crouched down and stroked her hair.
“Hmm?”
And Ayase’s mother was standing there with a bewildered expression.
“Isn’t that Kim?”
“Hello.”
When I bowed my head and said hello, Ayase’s mother said with a bewildered expression.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but you’re still big. Did you come to visit my daughter in the hospital?”
“Yes. I was just thinking of going back.”
“If I had known it would be like this, she would have come a little earlier. Then the lady would have made me something delicious.”
Ayase’s mother said that and showed her the plastic bag she was holding in her right hand.
Even when I was in first grade, when I came home to see Ayase, she often served me delicious food, so it’s probably not empty words.
“I’ll come again when I have time. Please do it then.”
“Please come. Ajumma, I will be looking forward to it.”
“Yes.”
After saying that, I bowed my head once more and asked something that came to my mind as I was going to the subway station to go back home.
“Come to think of it, Ayase, are you exercising well these days?”
“For 30 minutes a day, I’m doing well as you say. So don’t worry too much. I won’t suddenly collapse like last time.”
“I’m glad then. Sitting too much is not good for my health, so please nag me to stretch at least in my spare time.”
I said that and smiled warmly, then went on my way home.
