Although this is not your first encounter, a fresh shock
“So, where’s the special guest? (Completely clueless)”
“Haha, just be satisfied with Misa since you came.”
“Well, honestly, Misa is satisfying enough.”
“If you had just called her a guest, we wouldn’t tease you this much, haha.”
“Humph. You guys are making a mistake. Like Yui said, this really is a special guest!”
“Y-Yeah! Misa, you said it well! Everyone’s going to cry about this!”
Arin, now visibly flustered, displayed an illustration of ‘Yoshida Misa’s’ avatar on the screen below.
However, Arin, like Yui, was a Vtuber often teased by her viewers as a punching bag.
“Shut up, dumb fox, haha.”
Just pure cuteness…
Self-praising GOAT…
In other words, she wasn’t very helpful.
Familiar with the teasing, Arin bit her lip in frustration.
“Humph! Let’s just send them away! Yui, just send them! Don’t even explain!”
“Huh…? But sending them away seems… they came all this way…”
Ahyun, flustered, looked at Arin, but Arin’s eyes were fixed only on Suhyun.
‘Now’s the time. Act like you’re leaving while making some noise!’ her eyes passionately conveyed.
Arin was employing a basic strategy to imply another secret to make viewers impatient.
‘…What is she talking about?’
As expected, Suhyun furrowed her brows in confusion. Expecting her to catch on with just subtle eye movements was unrealistic.
Moreover, Suhyun was the least experienced among them, practically a broadcasting novice.
There was no way she could understand such a complicated signal.
In the end, Arin hastily typed a message into her phone.
Tap, tap, tap!
[Sexy voice! Pretend to leave while using a sexy voice!]
“…?”
‘Huh. What nonsense…’
How was a broadcasting newbie supposed to handle such a request? Suhyun glanced at her phone and looked at Arin with pity.
Even in this situation, the dumb, pervy fox cub’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s probably just Rie or Emi anyway.”
“Hahaha, pretending there’s something special.”
“Everyone, quiet down. Our Misa always delivers properly when she does.”
Flustered by the chat’s mocking tone shifting back to ridicule, Arin shouted.
“Ugh! Be quiet! The guest is about to leave in anger now!”
“What?! They can’t leave…!”
Arin briefly glared at Ahyun, who was fooled alongside the viewers, and quickly turned back to Suhyun.
Wink. Wink.
Arin, clumsily attempting a wink by closing both eyes, was adorable but not persuasive enough to sway Suhyun’s heart.
Seeing Suhyun’s steadfast expression, Arin eventually approached her and whispered quietly.
“Ugh. Pretend to leave while using a sexy voice. Now’s the time…!”
‘Hmm…’
Suhyun hesitated for a moment.
After all, it was Suhyun who had ruined today’s broadcast, so it was only right for her to try to salvage it. The question wasn’t whether to do it but how to do it.
A sexy voice? There’s no way she’d ever done that before.
Moreover, Suhyun was still unfamiliar with her voice after her body had changed into that of a woman.
Still, if it was a sexy voice… she knew better than any LumiLive member.
She had been a man. She was a man, after all.
Despite their shared troubled pasts spent living a life of acting, Bihangwoon didn’t realize how much they had in common.
To cool her head, Bihangwoon stood up to get some juice.
That’s when she heard a voice—familiar yet unfamiliar.
“Yes. I’ll go, then? I’m curious to see if you’ll all have fun without me.”
Flinch.
Bihangwoon instinctively straightened her back.
Perfect imitation, or was it utilization? Or perhaps a fusion of the two?
Even Bihangwoon, who knew Suhyun’s original voice, almost didn’t recognize it.
“Incredible talent, Suhyun.”
Bihangwoon found herself smiling brightly as she muttered to himself.
It couldn’t have been easy to turn that timid, mischievous atmosphere into one more fitting of Bihangwoon’s vibe.
“‘Don’t leave,’ huh? I’m not sure if that’s something you’d say to someone you just met.”
“Oh-hoh. Haha.”
Golden eyes gleamed with excitement.
Bihangwoon couldn’t hide her surprise and excitement as she replayed Suhyun’s performance in her mind.
Even now, Suhyun continued the act on stream—not that it seemed like acting at all.
A cool, snake-like composure. A sly yet piercing way of speaking.
And within it, the unique playfulness that was distinctly Suhyun’s, forming a perfect new voice.
‘What a monster.’
Thinking she’d done well to leave behind Yoon Byeolha’s business card, Bihangwoon eagerly typed in the chat.
-[Manager Bihangwoon] Whoever you are, your voice is truly sexy.
-? Did the manager really type that? Hahaha.
・Of course, this voice is irresistible.
・It’s my first time seeing the manager act like this.
Bihangwoon chuckled to herself as she listened to the voice without any visuals on the screen.
Yoon Byeolha, are you watching?
This is what pure talent looks like.
Not something artificial like me, but monstrous talent that overwhelms others in its raw form.
Though a tinge of sadness flickered through her, she also felt exhilarated.
She opened a notepad on the right screen and slowly began typing.
“Perform in the same production as Suhyun.”
It was the first acting-related goal she’d set since quitting acting.
Ahyun, overwhelmed by the sexy voice and sensing that the broadcast wouldn’t progress at this rate, quickly revealed the voice’s owner.
Then, she announced the start of an emergency Q&A session with Mama.
“If you have any questions for me…”
・That’s WhitePalette? No way, LOL.
•The voice changer is insane; it sounds like someone else came in, haha.
-[Manager has blocked a certain chat for violation.]
Even with such a sudden shift, the viewers wouldn’t calm down.
Not to mention, that voice continued to linger in their ears.
“Ugh… Seriously! Listen to me!!!”
Even Yui, known for her usual calm and gentle demeanor, screamed at the top of her lungs, yet the excitement wouldn’t die down.
Watching from the side, Suhyun clicked her tongue internally.
She’d envied how they made money playing games.
But being a Vtuber was a far more challenging job than she’d imagined.
Without even realizing she was the cause of it all, Suhyun silently revised and pondered her debut plans.
In the end, it turned out well for everyone.
Except for Yui.
“Ughhh! Calm down!!!”
