Chapter 32: What The Hell Is This

I’m not planning to start a work broadcast right away.

Of course, since I won’t be using a microphone, I could just install the program and start broadcasting, but there was still one thing left to do.

I decided to take care of that unfinished business first.

“Mister, come here and sit down.”

First, I need to get angry.

“…Don’t you want to eat pizza?”

“Don’t try to gloss over it.”

The man sitting on the sofa lowered his eyes and avoided eye contact.

Of course, since I was slightly shorter standing up than he was sitting down, it looked like I was looking up at him.

If someone else saw this scene, they would imagine a huge dog being intimidated by an angry kitten.

“You know what you did wrong, right?”

“…Hey, I’m an adult, this is a bit much.”

“Answer me.”

“I’m sorry.”

The man quickly apologized.

An adult yielding to a child could be a matter of pride, but that didn’t apply to him.

That’s probably why he’s so popular with many people.

Sigh.

I let out a small sigh, pulled a chair from the dining table, placed it in front of him, and jumped up to sit on it.

The chair was high, so now my eye level was aligned with his.

“I heard the reason last time and you apologized, so I won’t say anything more. I can also understand that you wouldn’t want to make a much younger kid do hard work.”

I wasn’t really that angry at him in the first place.

It was just a momentary confusion about myself.

“For now, I’ll do as you say regarding your YouTube work. But there’s a condition.”

“Tell me, I’ll listen to everything.”

“Let me plan one program to use for YouTube.”

“Planning?”

“Yes.”

Planning is the beginning of a program and encompasses everything.

“I want to try doing everything from planning, casting, scripting, to directing.”

“That’s quite difficult….”

“If there are any difficult parts, I’ll get some help from you or Writer Song.”

“How are you going to handle casting?”

“I have an idea for the planning, and I’ve already thought of someone who fits it. It’ll work out somehow.”

“Hmm….”

Planning and directing a program means completely leading it from start to finish.

Moreover, taking care of the script means doing the writer’s job as well.

It’s something that’s absolutely impossible to do alone for a regular TV program.

But what I’m requesting is not that.

“It’s not going on TV, it’s YouTube. It’s smaller in scale and much simpler than you think. I know more about this field.”

“Well, famous YouTubers do everything themselves. Are you sure you can do it?”

“Of course. I’ll ask for help whenever I need it.”

“Then okay.”

The man nodded.

I confirmed again.

“Really?”

“Yeah, we barely have any budget anyway. Hyung Juntae said to do whatever I want. I don’t know much about YouTube either, so I’ll ask you for help with directing if I need it.”

“Of course.”

That was the role I was supposed to play in the first place.

It’s only natural.

“Still, don’t overdo it.”

“I got it.”

“I know you secretly drink coffee when I’m not around and wash the cup to pretend you didn’t.”

“…….”

I’m busted.

“If you’re tired, don’t fight the sleep, just sleep. If you overwork yourself like that from a young age, your body will quickly deteriorate. You won’t grow taller either.”

“…Yes.”

Even if I drink coffee, I tend to drink it in the morning.

Because my body is young, I had trouble sleeping until dawn after drinking a little in the afternoon before.

But how did he find out about this?

My aftercare was perfect.

The man chuckled as he saw me pouting.

And he patted my head with his huge hand.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Shall we order pizza?”

“Yes.”

I obtained the authority to create a program on the man’s YouTube channel.

This fulfills my promise with Bom.

I kept forgetting to tell the mister, but doing it this way is practically the same as solving it.

Even if I’m planning it, it’s still the mister’s channel.

So, what’s left to do now?

I opened my notebook and looked at the notes.

“I need to find a thumbnail artist, prepare for the mister’s YouTube, and think about the work broadcast….”

There’s a lot to do.

Most of it is self-inflicted, so I couldn’t help it.

First, I started a call with Osorin to discuss the thumbnail artist and get some broadcast advice.

-Yeah, I heard about the thumbnail thing from Bommeranian. That’s why all the recent videos are just clips from the broadcast.

“What do you want to do? It’s fine if I keep making the thumbnails. Or do you know anyone?”

-Hmm, well. I like both the illustrated thumbnails and the current thumbnails…. Ah, then should I ask Jina first?

“That would be good. She’s a veteran after all.”

Jina’s YouTube uses various formats for thumbnails.

She’s a streamer who broadcasts with a cam, but she also has an avatar like other streamers (who don’t turn on their cams), so she sometimes uses her actual face and sometimes uses her avatar’s illustration to make thumbnails.

Asking her would probably give me a good answer.

“And I have something to consult with you about.”

-Consult?

“Yes, it’s about broadcasting.”

When I said that, Osorin’s voice got louder.

-Broadcasting?! Are you going to appear on my broadcast?!

“No, it’s not that.”

-Aww…. Then what is it?

“I’m thinking of starting my own broadcast. I won’t be using my voice, it’s a broadcast showing my editing work.”

-Work broadcast? Well, there are people who do that…. Why are you suddenly thinking of starting a broadcast?

“Somehow, there are a lot of people who want to see me work. And there might be people who learn by watching me work.”

-Come to think of it, I think I saw a post like that on the community.

Since broadcasting isn’t my field, I asked her for advice.

After listening to my concerns, Osorin thought about it with me.

After a while, she said, ‘Then how about this?’ and started talking.

-Sua, the reason you don’t appear on broadcasts is because you’re burdened by receiving attention from a large number of people in real time.

“That’s right.”

-Then, even if it’s a work broadcast, there will be some people who watch it because of my introduction. Wouldn’t that be a bit burdensome too?

“…It is a little.”

-Then don’t do a live broadcast, record yourself working and upload it to YouTube.

“YouTube?”

-Anyway, what people want is to see how you work and what you do, not real-time communication. Then you don’t have to do a live broadcast.

Hearing her words, it made sense.

Certainly, when I look at what people who want to see my live broadcast say on the community, they say it because they’re curious about ‘whether my editing speed is really fast’.

Of course, there may be people who want to learn editing and want to ask questions in real time, but I’m not trying to start a broadcast for lectures.

It would be fine to answer questions in the comments.

“Thank you. Now that I think about it, it would be better to record my work and upload it than to do a live broadcast.”

-Live broadcasts have a lot of risk factors, so it’s good to think about it a lot before doing it. I once broadcasted at my parents’ house, and my mom came in during a donation reaction, it was a big deal.

Once I went to a game site and it suddenly connected to an adult site…. Anyway, there were many shocking things.

“The adult site wasn’t just the algorithm opening it….”

-Ah sh*t, I told you, I was just curious and looked it up for a second!

Well, let’s leave it at that.

If I ever go to Osorin’s house, I should check if there are any handcuffs.

“Yes, yes, I got it. Thank you for listening to my concerns.”

-I’m telling you it’s not true….

“I got it. Let’s talk about your next broadcast.”

I change the subject, imagining her pouting on the other side of the computer.

-I won’t be playing horror games for a while….

“I thought you were having fun.”

-…It was forced tension.

Hmm.

Well, let’s say that’s the case.

A few days after consulting with Osorin about broadcasting.

Following the advice I received, I recorded the entire screen of my video editing process from start to finish.

And I uploaded the full video to my personal channel [Dancing Racoon].

The title was simply [Osorin YouTube Video Editing].

The thumbnail was also a clean text on the editing program background, with the broadcast date and a brief description of the original broadcast being edited.

I didn’t use provocative words to increase views, and I didn’t add any hashtags.

If a regular person saw it, they would just skip it.

It was a common record-keeping YouTube video, so the views weren’t very high.

But the number of comments was unusual.

Among the numerous comments, the one with the most likes.

The content of the comment that appeared first at the top was this.

-What the f*ck is this…
