Chapter 13: Peeping Master Naru

As soon as Part 1 was over, I immediately proceeded with Part 2.

Unlike the other members who ended after a self-introduction and a simple chat.

It was a possible judgment because I still had the content of member-watching left.

“Alright, Part 2 of Naru’s broadcast begins now.”

[What, there’s more?]
[Wow, twice the broadcast!]
[This is good news]

As expected, I knew they’d all like it.

Unlike the other members, I’m doing my debut broadcast alone… so shouldn’t the length be double?

Actually, even though it’s Part 2, it’s just a simple content of watching, no, reviewing the other members.

But having it and not having it is like heaven and earth.

Since it has come to this, I should enjoy yesterday’s broadcast that I missed.

I logged into the Wonderland fan cafe that the CEO had created.

Among them, the members’ personal message boards.

I entered the message boards in the order of the debut broadcasts.

First, Choa’s message board.

[Oh]
[What are you trying to do?]
[Watching-master Naru, for real]

“Reviewing the members? I’m trying to do something similar.”

[Is a member food?]
[Food? Hehehe…]
[Gasp]

“Sexual harassment will be banned. Get a grip, everyone.”

I ignored the dizzying chat window and clicked on the best post on the message board.

Several clips were listed.

[Hello, my name is Choa. Isn’t it Choi? Who is that person?]

Choa in the video was in the middle of a ruthless execution.

Death to those who remember her past life.

It was a method the CEO had taught her.

“It’s our youngest, Choa. Her avatar… I think it reflects her personality very well.”

Choa’s avatar was a very energetic-looking beast-person character.

Her red hair and slim body were impressive.

[Furry-lover Choa]
[Suddenly became suspicious]
[I’m scared]

Should I watch another clip?

I clicked on the post with the second-most recommendations.

[There are a lot of corpses from the first broadcast? Why is that?]

Choa joked around.

It was an expression that seemed as if she didn’t know why this was happening when she hadn’t done anything.

[It’s still contemptible to watch again]
[You killed them]
[Our Naru doesn’t do indiscriminate firing, right?]

There are a lot of people who were culled that day in my room too.

The resentment from that day began to be recreated in my room.

If I watch any more of this, there’s going to be a riot, so I should stop.

As the clip video turned off, the viewers’ reactions also subsided.

It was like a nickel-silver pot that cools down quickly.

“Everyone, um… it seems like you’re getting PTSD, should we stop?”

[Don’t be ridiculous]
[We’re a small group, so it’s okay, go on]
[What do you mean stop, you b*tch lol]
ㄴ[This user has been temporarily blocked.]

“Alright. Let’s continue.”

Next up is Jena.

An avatar with blonde hair like reality and a magician-like outfit stood out.

[B-be quiet. If you keep doing that, it’ll… it’ll get boring, you know?]

Hmm, she’s also suffering from her past life here.

Sena being beaten down by the viewers with her past life.

The sight of her looking like she would cry if they poked her just a little more seems to stimulate sadism.

To think that a woman like that acted that way back then…?

I felt like I was remembering that day for no reason.

No, I shouldn’t be thinking about that now.

I have to proceed with the broadcast now.

“Haha, everyone, aren’t you bullying her too much?”

[That’s the fun of bullying]
[How can you resist this?]
[For real lol]

It seems those malicious viewers will educate Noa-unni, so I’ll forgive her.

She has such good viewers!

With a sense of relief, I started watching another clip.

[Wh-what were the members like?… They all seemed like good people… there was one person who was so cute I wanted to confine her in my house and raise her.]

Uh… huh?

What is she talking about?

Is she talking about me?

I recalled the memory of the meeting day.

…It’s only me.

Instinctively feeling fear, I hurriedly closed the window.

[Yandere mode ON]
[Why are you in such a hurry?]
[Naru, could it be you?]

Oh no, I made a mistake.

This is like admitting that I’m the member in the clip!

What should I do… if I don’t handle this well, I’ll be ridiculed…

“Sh-she’s a scary person.”

[lol]
[It’s you]
[Busted]

I made a mistake.

I should have made a plausible excuse.

This flustered baby’s body just spewed out some meaningless nonsense.

“No, um… that’s not it…”

By the time the whole situation was over, about 5 minutes had passed from the beginning.

Because the CEO only suppressed them after I had received all the teasing there was.

Logically, this could also be seen as broadcast content.

But the me of now, filled with emotion, just came to dislike the CEO for some reason.

If I looked in the mirror right now, my face would be the color of lava.

Because I was that embarrassed!

I think I’ll be sulking at the CEO for a while.

I don’t know why she just blocks them without saying anything… but anyway, that’s how it is.

[We’re all going to die at this rate!]
[Aack, the mod is on a rampage!]
[Please stop the temporary bans]

I guess the suppression is complete.

I should quickly move on to the next thing.

Because it’s not good for the chat window to remain chaotic.

“Then next… I’ll take a look at Shiro-unni. I’ve seen her in person, but I don’t think I’ve seen her broadcast.”

[?]
[Wow, you didn’t watch a fellow member’s debut broadcast?]
[Na]
[Rak]

“I was busy making the introduction video yesterday, so I couldn’t watch.”

[Then it’s acceptable]
[Wasn’t it made by the company?]
[Working overtime at night is king, for real]

To think the reaction changes in 1 second, she’s a real Udyr.
(TL Note: Udyr is a League of Legends champion known for rapidly changing his stances/forms.)

Anyway, I’ll worry about management later.

Because right now, I have to watch Shiro-unni.

There are still two more left, so if I drag this on, I won’t be able to sleep today.

Click

I clicked on Shiro-unni’s most recommended clip.

What came out as soon as the clip played was…

A very glamorous witch avatar.

Her chest was as big as Noa-unni’s.

And, her pelvis was a beautiful shape, perfect for childbirth.

In a word, it was an avatar that made you give sexual compliments automatically.

“Wow… her boobs… ah, no, her figure is amazing…!”

Ah crap, I made a mistake again.

To think that what I was only thinking in my head came out of my mouth.

It was obvious that the chat window would be on fire now.

[?]
[Excuse me? Boobs?]
[lol]
[Sexual compliments are Naru’s specialty, for real lol]
[Shameless b*tch lol]

Ugh… this stupid body!

I don’t know how long it will take to suppress this.

What’s in my head right now is just resentment for this cursed body.

It would have been nice if they had at least made a mouth filter while they were at it.

I resented the god that I don’t even know exists.

[Please explain]
[Ex]
[Plain]
[Nata(Manager): Stop bullying our baby Naru-chan]
[Ex]

Uh… this time, the CEO came out right away.

I don’t really like her tone, but this is better than nothing.

Just the appearance of the CEO will calm the atmosphere down.

This is enough to erase one ‘bad’ stamp from my mind.

[Run away!]
[I’m sorry for slandering, I’m sorry for slandering, I’m sorry for slandering]
[Just spare my life]

What a relief, it was extinguished quickly thanks to the CEO’s help.

“Ah, anyway. I will continue watching Shiro-unni’s clip.”

I pressed the play button on the clip again.

[Did I go to college? I went to an education college. I passed while preparing for the certification exam, so I haven’t worked as a teacher.]

Hmm, I heard this when we met before.

It wasn’t particularly surprising to me who already knew this fact.

But from the perspective of the viewers who heard it for the first time, it’s a very interesting story.

The fact that she holds a diploma from an education college, even if she didn’t reach the level of a ‘teacher’.

Was highly likely to create some very interesting situations.

Maybe it could be a reaction like, ‘The smartest person in Wonderland has appeared!’.

Actually, if you only consider academic background, the smartest person in Wonderland was me.

But now that my brain has also become a baby’s, it’s a difficult claim to make.

Actually, there’s nothing particularly good about having the title of being smart.

I’m not saying this because I’m denying reality.

Really.

Anyway, that’s it for watching Shiro-unni.

I’ve seen enough clips.

It seems not only me but also the viewers think so.

Now, all that’s left is to watch the last remaining member, Sea-unni.

For some reason, I’m looking forward to it.

It was an expectation that arose because she had a more unusual record than the other members.

[Alright, let’s go, Asea-haem~]
[Chieftain-nimㅠㅠ]
[Gogohyeot]
(TL Note: ‘Haem’ is a respectful term for an older brother figure, and ‘hyeot’ is a cute/slangy way of saying ‘tongue’, used here to mean ‘let’s go’.)

Looking at the reaction, it seems her record has already been discovered.

I gave a small smile and played Sea-unni’s clip.

A lively knight commander avatar with a husky voice and red hair welcomed me.

[Alright, ask me anything you’re curious about!… Why is my name Asea? It’s just a name I’ve been using since before, but?]

It seems she hasn’t been found out at this point…

[Is this your work, Sea-nim? Oh, that’s right. I debuted after that one got cancelled. Why did I change careers? Because of those damn Daybunnies. They plagiarized it within 10 minutes of me uploading it. Because of them, it wasn’t making any money.]
(TL Note: The raws use (Naj-tokki), which literally means ‘day rabbit’. I’ve localized it to ‘Daybunnies’ to keep the feel.)

Oh, she’s pushing through more confidently than I thought.

My expectation was for her to be at least a little flustered.

I didn’t know she would push through like that.

Well, if that’s a strength, then it’s a strength.

In a way, it’s like immunity to ridicule.

As someone who had already been caught up and ridiculed several times, it was a state I could hardly hope for.

Anyway, that’s that… her voice is really nice to listen to again.

It would be good to have it on as a radio when I’m doing other things later.

Enchanted by her husky voice.

I watched a few more clips after that and then ended the broadcast.

“Alright, the broadcast I prepared for today ends here. Please come and play again next time!”

[Naba! (Meaning Naru bye)]
[Don’t go]
[4 hours from the first broadcast was fulfilling ㅇㅇ]

Leaving the reluctant viewers behind, I pressed the end broadcast button.

As soon as the broadcast ended, fatigue began to wash over me.

But I really can’t sleep this time.

Because as soon as I turned off the broadcast, I got a call from the CEO.

I don’t know why she called, but I have to answer.

“Yes, hello.”

[“Yua, I watched the broadcast, it was good. But I have something to talk about, can you talk on the phone for a bit?”]

“I can.”

[“I think I made a mistake. Um… I think the avatar was sent incorrectly.”]

What does that mean?

Didn’t she say there was no problem when I asked before?

“What do you mean by that?”

[“The name of the file I gave to Yua is ‘5(1)’, right? I was supposed to give you ‘5’, but I gave you the wrong one. I’ll send it again now, can you check it?”]

At the CEO’s words, I switched the phone to speakerphone and checked the messenger installed on my computer.

[CEO-nim] – (5.zip)

Click

After downloading and opening the file, a new avatar appeared.

It was the appearance of an intelligent elf girl.

[“Have you checked?”]

“Yes.”

[“I was supposed to give you that one… the one I gave you before was the avatar that was supposed to go to the fifth member of Devil Live…”]

Oh dear, listening to this, this is an accident.

I’ve already done all sorts of things on my debut broadcast, and now I’m changing the avatar?

That’s close to impossible.

From the viewers’ perspective, the formula ‘Naru = bratty succubus nun’ has already been established.

[“What should we do about this…”]

We discussed for several hours.

So, the conclusion that came out after much deliberation was, ‘to just keep using the avatar I used during the debut broadcast’.

To be honest, it was unfair that I couldn’t use such a decent avatar even though it was there.

But it was a result that came from the effort I had already put in, and the CEO’s head-patting.

Praising me for over 10 minutes…

Even from my perspective, the quality of the video and introduction materials was high.

But it was just amazing that she could praise me like that.

[“Then let’s do that. Good night!”]

“Yes, good night.”

Phew… I don’t know what will happen from now on.
