Hobbyist VTuber

---

What should I do if I get sued?

The first thought Nael had when she was ordered to ask about Hida’s actual chest size.

[Tell Hida her avatar doesn’t reflect reality. Hurry up~.]

‘How on earth are you going to handle the aftermath…?!’

To put it bluntly, it was extremely awkward.

After all, the person Nael had to talk to was an actual celebrity.

Telling a famous person, whose name everyone knows, straight up that “your chest is small” is basically declaring, “Please sue me.”

But since this is all part of the content, she probably won’t sue.

‘Besides, she’s still a minor.’

As an ordinary person, Nael was scared for various reasons.

She couldn’t reveal Hida’s red pill to Dia, which made her even more clueless about what to do.

Strictly speaking, Hida’s avatar was indeed exaggerated compared to reality.

Even though only the avatar’s concept art existed, that alone was enough to guess the size of her chest.

A size most people couldn’t even dream of.

An absolute unnaturalness—later, Nael would learn from Jihemin that there’s no such thing as “absolute” in the world—a grandeur.

“Uh, Hida’s avatar… it doesn’t seem to reflect reality well!”

｢Hmm, what do you mean by that?｣

“Uh, reality… Oh, maybe Hida, being a witch, used magic to grow it? Haha…”

Even without knowing about Hida’s red pill, the size was convincing enough to believe it was exaggerated.

Dia, who had never met Hida in person, probably teased her based on this reasoning.

The funny thing is, avatar matchmaking content usually goes like this.

Forcing Nael to ask awkward questions, making both Hida and Nael flustered simultaneously.

‘I’m going crazy, seriously.’

Dia and the viewers controlling Nael enjoyed guiltless pleasure.

Nael, being controlled by Dia, was left with responsibility without pleasure—that’s what avatar matchmaking was.

And so, a quiet silence fell between Nael and Hida.

All sorts of delusions naturally surfaced.

Why is she silent?

Is she angry?

I heard you shouldn’t mess with people with small chests, thoughts like these crossed her mind.

But not long after.

｢It’s not magic.｣

“Huh?”

｢My body was always like this.｣

Hida’s non-explanation began.

｢Reality reflection… I’m not sure what you mean. The witch you’re seeing now is my reality. There’s no other reality.｣

“Ah, I see. I must have been mistaken for a moment~.”

Nael accepted everything Hida said.

Meanwhile, Dia’s muttering in another voice channel, “This isn’t it…” was deliberately ignored.

Nael thought Hida was determined to stick to her RP.

She firmly established that nothing about the actress Mindayeon could be a topic of conversation.

‘In a way, it’s a relief.’

Nael welcomed the idea of conversing according to Hida’s RP without worrying about the actress Mindayeon.

Every time she thought she was talking to a current actress, she felt suffocated.

The problem was still Dia.

Pushing boundaries and teasing was Dia’s identity.

As one of the most notorious first-generation students of Fantasia, Nael was worried about what questions she might ask next.

Sure enough.

[Umm, is your hobby eating kids? Ask if she’s a cannibal─☆]

Dia’s playful voice, teasing Hida again, flowed into Nael’s ears.

Yet, Nael had no choice but to follow Dia’s words.

“Uh, is your hobby eating kids, right?”

｢Yes.｣

“Uh, excuse me, but are you… a cannibal?”

Another silence followed.

Simultaneously, the unique thrill of avatar matchmaking was felt again.

I said what I was told, but after saying it, I wanted to take it back.

That’s why Nael hurriedly spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere with Hida.

“J-just kidding. Witches eating kids only appear in fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, right?”

However, Nael’s efforts were in vain.

This question didn’t just pass either.

｢All stories in the world have origins. No story exists on its own.｣

A slightly lowered voice.

A noticeably calmer tone.

A distinctly different atmosphere flowed from the witch in the voice channel.

Only Ha-eun realized this atmosphere was part of the acting tone.

‘…This seems like a pre-prepared line.’

Somehow, Hida.

No, Mindayeon, seemed to have intended to make Ha-eun angry.

Ha-eun belatedly realized that everything, including Nael’s challenge to the strange hobby of “eating kids,” was likely Mindayeon’s intention.

And so, when Nael first encountered the actress’s acting tone, she gulped dryly.

｢Then, here’s a question. The story of the wicked witch who eats children…｣

The calm voice over the headset gradually slowed down.

Finally, after the end of the sentence blurred for a moment.

｢Who do you think it originated from?｣

-Chills.

In an instant, the atmosphere intensely shifted, startling Nael.

Ha-eun also flinched at the sudden thick acting tone.

‘We’ve been had.’

It was a line that naturally led to that thought.

Unlike Ha-eun, who created a separate voice for Dia, Hida’s voice was Mindayeon’s voice, which added to the effect.

The problem was that there were still lines left.

｢There’s a really cute kid who loves sweets.｣

A voice that seemed to speak not just to Nael but also to Ha-eun’s ears.

The witch’s eerie voice continued.

｢So, I’m waiting. For the day that kid comes to my candy shop.｣

“Uh, then. If that kid comes…?”

｢I’ll lock them up and eat them. From head to toe, every bit.｣

[…!…!!]

The rising chills made Ha-eun shiver for a moment.

It was the first time Mindayeon had so openly expressed her desire towards Dia.

‘Why are you really doing this to me…?’

It was certain that everything Ha-eun heard was Mindayeon’s acting.

But knowing that Hida had such a creepy purpose made her feel fear unconsciously.

Unless you were Ha-eun’s friend, Hida seemed dangerous the moment she existed as a witch.

Even though Hida hadn’t debuted as a VTuber and her avatar wasn’t complete, the fear was palpable.

Hida left the voice channel shortly after, saying, “See you next time.”

Thus, the avatar matchmaking ended with more losses than gains.

However, Jihemin’s feedback was that the conversation was incredibly entertaining.

[Even Dia’s flustered moments were recorded. This will be really fun to edit!]

Jihemin, satisfied, thanked Nael for her hard work.

Ha-eun also cautiously greeted Nael, saying it was nice to meet her as Dia.

But Nael had something to say to Dia.

“Wait a minute, senior.”

Nael subtly grabbed Dia’s profile as she was about to leave the voice channel.

Jihemin’s profile also stayed a bit longer to watch their conversation.

The sound of clicking followed.

Nael started sharing her screen on Discord, allowing Ha-eun and Jihemin to gradually understand what Nael was trying to say.

Soon, a notice post that hadn’t been seen in a while appeared.

───────────

“Senior. Is what’s written in the last line real? You’re not going to change your words now, are you─”

[P-proof! If you can’t prove you’re Noeul, I won’t accept it!]

As Nael used the excuse of not having proof of being Noeul, Ha-eun tried to escape the voice channel.

-Ding.

“See this, senior?”

Nael activated her computer’s camera, and a very familiar object appeared on the Discord screen.

Ha-eun’s words got stuck.

[Wh-why is my keyring there… huh?]

“Why? Because I’m Noeul, of course.”

I’ll look forward to the free usage pass.

Nael said so, picking up Dia’s keyring and shaking it slightly.

Of course, the scene of Dia’s keyring shaking in Nael’s hand was shared on Discord.

Perhaps that’s why.

[This is undeniable, Dia.]

[…I don’t know….]

Jihemin, Fantasia’s head, acknowledged Nael as Noeul.

Ha-eun’s groaning followed.

Thus, Nael’s sudden Noeul coming-out ended the call completely.

Nael’s room fell silent in an instant.

However, Nael sat in front of her computer for quite a while after that.

She watched with great interest a cooking stream by the famous Japanese VTuber group <Prism Live>.

『Ah~! Hello, Jennifer~.』

『Hmm… it’s delicious?!』

Like the women on the screen, Nael wanted to serve her own cooking to Dia someday.

She was also curious about Dia’s red pill, worshipped like a god among Fantasia’s first generation.

“…What color cotton candy would she like?”

More than anything, Nael wanted to hear Dia’s voice admiring her cooking skills.

She wanted to test if Dia really liked cotton candy, as per her RP, with a giant cotton candy.

And so, after watching <Prism Live>‘s cooking streams over and over.

“The Sunshine has started~.”

“Ah, I’m coming─!”

She finally got up as the drama she had been hooked on for days started.

She had to see what happened after Park Joo-ho pointed a gun at Kim Jung-hyun, who had been shot.
