Chapter 82: Seria collapses from body aches.

Seria unexpectedly had a collaboration broadcast scheduled with Ddalssong and Lily.

She was living her ordinary life, holding in her heart the anticipation of meeting the rival she had been longing to see.

“Ah, I feel a bit dizzy?”

Her condition wasn’t great, but she could manage.

Her body felt warmer than usual, but a person’s body temperature isn’t always the same.

She had to broadcast today as usual.

But today, she especially wanted to meet someone.

Seria sent a message to the person she missed, with a smile on her face.

Na: Onni~♡ Should we skip the broadcast today and hang out at your mansion?

Onni♡: No, don’t come. Keep broadcasting consistently. Even a day off will freeze the viewers to death in the ice age.

Na: Aww♡ But… I wanna see you, Onni♡

Onni♡: I want to see you broadcasting diligently.

Na: Hehe. Onni really likes my broadcasts, huh?

Onni♡: Of course.

That person was none other than Ddalssong.

Until recently, she was just an ordinary clipper and fan, but now she was her colleague…

‘A colleague and… what?’

Seria paused for a moment, lost in thought.

She enjoyed spending time with Ddalssong.

She had already realized that her heart was leaning towards her.

‘It would be a lie if I didn’t develop feelings after that ultimate massage♡’

People wouldn’t believe it.

How could someone fall in love with just one massage?

But the massage wasn’t the reason.

Ddalssong had consistently watched and supported her broadcasts since her difficult early days.

However, after her father’s incident, when her relationship with Ddalssong became closer, she occasionally wanted to take a break and meet her.

“Well, it’s fun enough as it is now♡”

There’s plenty of time, I’ll get closer to Onni! she cheered herself on.

“Heeing, but I still wanna go on a date with Onni.”

She still wanted to take a day off and meet her.

Like a true simp.

Seria trying to skip broadcasting and hang out, Ddalssong always dissuaded her like before.

From a simp’s perspective, the time when their favorite Vtuber takes a day off is a torturous experience.

“Is it really that hard to take just one day off?”

Having only experienced things from the perspective of a broadcaster, she hadn’t considered the viewer’s point of view.

That’s why she didn’t fully sympathize with the ‘ice age’ that Ddalssong mentioned.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Seria immediately picked up her phone and asked Ddalssong.

Na: Onni, Onni!

Onni♡: ?

Na: If I take a day off, is it that hard for you as a fan?

Onni♡: Are you even saying that?

Na: No, I’ve never liked another Vtuber before, so I don’t really understand.

Onni♡: Okay, Seria. Listen carefully. Let’s say you and I made a date.

Na: Kyaa~♡ Just thinking about it makes me so happy♡

Onni♡: Right? But then, on that day, something suddenly comes up and the date is canceled.

Na: Kyaaaaack!! That can’t happen!!

Onni♡: That’s it, do you understand now?

At that moment, Seria could truly understand.

How could she even begin to imagine how much mental anguish the viewers would suffer if she took a day off?

‘Just thinking about it makes my heart ache and feel stuffy.’

Of course, the relationship between Seria and her viewers was just that of a Vtuber and a fan.

It wasn’t as close and intimate as Seria and Ddalssong’s relationship, so it was difficult to accept it in the same way.

However, she knew from her Vtuber life that fans felt and treated her like a pseudo-lover and friend.

With Ddalssong’s apt explanation, Seria realized anew how much of an impact she had on so many people’s lives.

This was proof that she had grown this much, unlike in her no-name days.

‘It’s all thanks to Onni.’

Being affiliated with YOLO Live might have made her growth faster than that of independent Vtubers, but without Ddalssong, this kind of rapid growth would have been impossible.

Having grown diligently, she had 600,000 subscribers on her NewTube channel, and over 7,000 monthly paid subscribers.

In addition, with an average of over 10,000 viewers, it was no exaggeration to say that she was one of the top Vtubers, except for Ddalssong.

It was still not enough to surpass Ddalssong’s average of 25,000 viewers, but this was still pretty good.

Wouldn’t it be greedy to want more than this?

Seeing that even Kurona and Rania, excluding Ddalssong,
had grown significantly under Ddalssong’s influence,
it was no exaggeration to say that YOLO Live had become a much larger corporation than it was just a few months ago.

Even with one more person.

Lily, who had been a cam girl, had attracted people who weren’t particularly interested in Vtubers,
giving YOLO Live the opportunity to significantly increase its size.

Compared to the total population of 15 billion humans and demons on this giant planet Earth,
it might be an infinitely small number,
but it was safe to say that they were quite famous in the internet broadcasting world.

“It’s only a matter of time before Onni reaches 1 million subscribers.”

What kind of event would that person do to commemorate 1 million?

Seria couldn’t even imagine.

Then came the broadcast time.

Seria sat in front of her computer, finished setting up, and turned on the broadcast for her viewers as usual.

The moment the broadcast started, the viewers greeted her with a chorus of ‘Seha!’ even though she was still preparing. Of course, among them.

Ddalssong: Seha!

Ddalssong was also there.

“Hehe♡”

Originally, she would start with a donation right away,
but at Seria’s request that it was too much of a burden,
Ddalssong had started typing a normal chat message for her first greeting.

She didn’t want to keep receiving these one-sided donations from the person she liked.

‘Now, it’s my turn to repay Onni.’

Of course, Ddalssong was already a wealthy person with an unimaginable amount of money.

This was evident in her usual donation behavior on broadcasts and the department store incident.

Just looking at the mansion she lived in, how much would that cost?

‘It must be so expensive that someone like me can’t even imagine.’

Rather, it was a magnificent mansion that could be considered amazing just to be able to set foot in Ddalssong’s mansion that day.

“Seha~ Dear followers, thank you so much for visiting our church today.
As you all know, today we’ll be watching ‘Retreating Giant’ together.”

-Kyaaa~ Retreating Giant is a masterpiece!

-It’s finally here! NewTube knows what’s up!!

-But hasn’t the nun never seen Retreating Giant before?

“Yes, I’ve never seen it. I’ve heard the name a lot, but it’s said to be very brutal, so I was reluctant to watch it.”

-Tring!

[Ddalssong has donated 100,000 won.]

Then, we’ll be able to see Seria’s sweet reactions today? (Slurp!)

“Ahaha! Onni, you’re being lewd.”

-Ddalssong is already ready to lick.

-She’s going to lick the heck out of Seria every time she reacts.

-The nun is going to get so wet lol.

The broadcast was going smoothly as always.

Thanks to Ddalssong’s presence, there were no troublemakers on Seria’s broadcast,
and even if they appeared, they would suddenly disappear after Ddalssong became quiet for a while without donating or chatting.

For the record, even Seria couldn’t have imagined that Ddalssong was dealing with the troublemakers behind the scenes.

After some time, the scheduled content of watching anime together continued.

“Retreating Giant” was famous as a masterpiece, so it delivered a tremendous impact from the first episode.

“Oh my!! The main character’s mother!! Noooooooo!!”

“N-No way! What kind of giant is that?! The way it runs backward is so grotesque!!”

“Kyaaack! It’s disgusting!!”

“Another person died?! Why? Wasn’t that an important character?!”

Not an excessive concept for the broadcast.

Her genuine reaction came from the heart.

The viewers who had already seen the anime to the end were simply delighted.

How happy it was to have someone watch their favorite anime so enjoyably and immersively.

‘Ah, what is it? I’m dizzy again?’

Her condition hadn’t been good since morning.
However, she didn’t have to go to work like others,
and she was just broadcasting at home,
so Seria thought she would be fine soon.

After all, she was at home anyway.

To others, it was no different from resting.

“Ah, everyone. I’ll be right back, I’m going to the bathroom for a moment.”

-Ok

-Go ahead

-Ooooook

Seria got up from her seat with the viewers’ permission.

Frowning at the blurred vision and hot breath, she was surprised by her rapidly deteriorating condition.

‘Ah, this is dangerous.’

She wondered if washing her face in the bathroom would help, but it didn’t change anything.

Instead of clearing her head, she felt her body temperature rising in real time.

At that moment.

Her vision collapsed.

-Thud!

Seria’s legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor.

“Ah, the broadcast… I have to broadcast.”

With her whole body burning, she breathed roughly and crawled towards the computer.

The viewers were important, but more than anyone else.

Ddalssong was looking forward to her broadcast.

She didn’t want to betray her expectations.

‘But.’

No matter how she thought about it, she didn’t think she could continue the broadcast in her current condition.

Even Ddalssong would understand.

Okay, let’s stop here for today and end the broadcast.

If I take medicine and rest as soon as possible, I’ll get better.

First, though.

“I have to inform the viewers and end the broadcast.”

She tried to sit in the chair, but her legs didn’t have the strength, and the chair tilted as her weight shifted.

“Kya!”

With a crash, the chair overturned, and Seria’s body naturally collapsed to the floor as well.

“Ugh, ugh…”

At the same time, her consciousness was being consumed by the deep darkness.

At this time, the chat window was sending everyone a curious reaction because the crashing sound was transmitted through the microphone.

A few minutes later.

Seria’s phone rang, but she couldn’t answer it.

The name of the caller on the phone was ‘Ddalssong’.
