258 – Omniscient Extra Perspective
The first impression Miyuki Shirasaki, the manager of the popular virtuber, Minazuki Luna, got when she saw Kim Yoo-seong in real life was ‘big’.
He is taller than the average height of Japanese people.
Intense eyes that can be felt through slightly curly hair.
It was like watching a wild horse with huge muscles that seemed to pierce through clothes at any moment.
It was the first time they had met each other today, but she knew Kim Yoo-sung’s face from the beginning.
That’s right, a legendary fighter who was once called a national hero-
It’s because Fuma Kotaro is an official disciple who recently appeared on a TV show.
Entertainment reporters who are obsessed with gossip quoted pictures of him on the street in an article, and most of the people who saw Kim Yu-seong posted in the article were surprised.
‘Is this really a high school student?’
That unconventional visual was deeply embedded in Miyuki’s mind, and she recognized his true identity as soon as she first saw it.
“D-I’m a fan! Can I just shake your hand once?!”
“Of course.”
Aww!

His hand, which he directly touched, was said to be very thick and large.
If you get hit by one of these big fists, most people will probably be knocked down in one hit.
Thanks to her learning judo since middle school, she is able to subdue quite a few adult men, but she couldn’t possibly win against Yuseong Kim in front of her.
Moreover, a person with such a background would normally be arrogant, but he was always treating people with a humble attitude.
So Miyuki became even more curious.
‘What about this man in the ring?’
Monster-like physicality that makes it hard to believe that it is an Asian skeleton, and Kotaro Fuma’s skill that defeated the once world’s strongest man.
As a martial arts maniac, it was a combination that made my heart pound just by imagining it.

Akihiro Tanigo.
43 Years old.
Originally, he was the president of Kirby, a small and medium-sized company that mainly deals with AR/VR-related technologies, but at some point he changed his course and jumped into the virtual YouTuber business.
It was a business he started because he was originally an otaku and because the company could use the existing technology as it is, but once he started it, he had no intention of doing it lightly.
It was a barren industry, but as a result of continuously investing money and discovering new people without being impatient, the company that started with two employees at first became a small and medium-sized company with dozens of employees in about two years. Has become
‘Minazuki Luna’
The first virtual YouTuber released by Kirby Co., Ltd. To the world.
At first, both the company and she were immature in many ways, but as a result of working hard together, they have now become famous virtuvers with 500,000 subscribers and one of the top 10 in the industry.
Of course, the number of subscribers of 500,000 is small compared to other popular YouTubers, but this is quite a lot in the vertube industry, where the overall market size is still small.
But Akihiro Tanigo did not intend to be satisfied with this.
This is because his goal was to make virtual YouTubers not minor content limited to Japan, but major content that the world can enjoy.
The first step was to nurture the company’s virtubers into professional idols, not mere entertainers.

“Boss! Awesome! Awesome!”
“Yes?”
Tanigo, who was in the middle of his work, suddenly lost his senses when he heard Shirasaki’s voice running in front of his desk.
“What’s going on? Mr. Shirasaki.”
Then, Shirasaki, who was full of excitement, spoke without a moment to catch his breath.
“I found a perfect person to debut as a virtuber!”
“Suddenly, what is that… Isn’t today’s interview over?”
But Shirasaki was a man whose actions preceded his words.
“Come and listen!”
“Huh?”
Because of Shirasaki’s superpowers, a former member of the judo club, Tanigo was forced to stand up from his desk and was dragged straight to the recording studio without a chance to resist.
And what was waiting there was a face that even Tanigo knew.
“Miss Ayase?”
“Hello.”
Ayase greets him with a bitter smile.
But since she couldn’t be the talented person Shirasaki was talking about, Tanigo stood in front of the computer puzzled.
“Listen to it.”
Tanigo wears the headset that Shirasaki proudly presents to her with a disgusted expression.
But the moment he heard the audio file she played, his eyes changed sharply.
“This is…”
“How is it? It’s great, isn’t it?”
“I see.”
In general, heavy bass gives people comfort.
However, it is rare to see a person with such a heavy bass and good-to-listen tone when actually voicing, but the main character of the voice in this audio file had all of those conditions.
“Where did this voice sample come from?”
Then Shirasaki replied with a smile on his face.
“This is the voice of a friend Ayase brought to see the company. How would you like the boss to meet you in person?”
At Shirasaki’s suggestion, Go Tani nodded his head obediently.
Personally, I was curious about the main character of this voice.
“Do you want to see Kim?”
“Yes.”
As if it happened to be nearby, a heavy voice was heard right away.
Just as he was about to turn to see his face, someone tapped Tanigo on the shoulder.
“Oh, sorry. I’m a bit big.”
‘… What?’
A tall man who had to raise his head endlessly even though he was right in front of his nose.
A bloody appearance, as if he would have apologized unconditionally if it had happened on the street instead of at the office.
The moment Tanigo saw a man standing at the pinnacle of the male category, regardless of his age, Tanigo despaired deep in his heart.
‘Die, die, die, die, die, die.’
Naturally imagining his head being blown off, Tanigo said “Hot!” And came back to his senses belatedly, and replied with his body shaking.
“Okay, that’s fine. It could be.”
Then the man in front of him silently nodded his head and forgave Tanigo for his mistake.
‘Cool….’
Perhaps it was at this time.
The mysterious charm of a man named Yuseong Kim is missing Tanigo, the president of Kirby Co., Ltd.

Kim Yoo-seong ran to the subway station as if he was running away from Ayase’s nagging, and when only the two of them were left, Shirasaki asked.
“Ayase, do you like Kim?”
The reaction that came back was dramatic.
“Wh-what are you talking about?! Why am I doing that guy?!”
A look of great surprise.
But since she hadn’t seen her a day or two, Shirasaki said with her mischievous smile.
“It’s already been two years since you and I hung out together. I wonder if you don’t even know that? Take care, Kim seems to be interested in you too.”
However, the answer I heard immediately was shocking.
“That guy got a girlfriend a while ago.”
“Uh…really?”
The atmosphere between the two becomes awkward in an instant after hearing an unexpected fact.
I felt like I had stepped on a landmine for no reason talking to myself, so Shirasaki looked at Ayase and apologized.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean that.”
“No, I know better that you’re not like that.”
Saying that, Shirasaki looked at Ayase with her shoulders drooping and asked cautiously.
“By the way, what kind of person is Kim’s girlfriend?”
To Shirasaki’s question, Ayase showed a group photo taken last summer when they went to play in Chiba.
“My classmate, she’s the blonde girl over here.”
“Uh…”
The moment he saw the picture on his phone screen, Shirasaki was at a loss for words.
It’s because Kim Yoo-seong’s girlfriend was a pretty girl who could be compared to a model.
Having a goalkeeper doesn’t mean you can’t score goals, but this was almost Casillas’ level as a goalkeeper.
“Your sister doesn’t look like a winner, does it?”
Then Shirasaki was startled and denied it.
“Oh no! How pretty you are!”
From an objective point of view, even Ayase with full makeup didn’t look like someone who could be seduced anywhere.
It’s just that Rika, who strongly inherited her mother’s genes, was just a cheat character herself even though she was of the same gender.
“…Enough. I’m leaving.”
When Ayase, who was strangely hurt by her heart, tried to grab her passing taxi, Shirasaki jumped up and grabbed her wrist.
“Wait a minute! Sister is wrong!”
“Sleep, arms off!”
Those who want to catch on and those who want to leave.
After struggling for a long time, it was the one who wanted to seize the victory in the end.

“Are you really a gorilla?”
“hehehe… Sorry.”
After Ayase grumbled like that while holding her red, swollen wrist, Shirashiki apologized with her awkward smile.
It wasn’t a topic to talk about outside, so the two entered a coffee shop near the company for a while.
“So what do you really want to say?”
At Ayase’s direct question, Shirashiki asked with a rather serious expression.
“Ayase, if there was a way to take Kim away, would you do it?”
“…Suddenly, what do you mean by that?”
“But, Ayase, your sister has more life experience than you. It’s because she knows how to be successful at least 90% of the time, if not 100%.”
The moment he heard that, Ayase’s expression instantly showed conflict.
She had a great liking for Kim Yu-seong, but Rika was also a good friend to her.
Ayase, who had been weighing her love and friendship for a long time in her mind, eventually answered vaguely.
“…I’ll listen and decide.”
Hearing that, Shirasaki grinned as if he expected it, then put his chin on his clasped hands and said.
“Invite Kim to your house and attack him.”
