Why This Content? The Busty Streamer’s World Cup Chaos
So... what is this?
There was nothing special about deciding to hold the YTuber Ideal World Cup.
I just figured a bunch of different fanbases would be easy to unify, and these days streamers are all the rage anyway...
And honestly, even if I look at it, judging real-life streamers’ appearances is way more complicated than it is to pick out the cute cartoon designs I like, right?
Back before I got pulled into Heinzel, I lived pretty close to otaku culture, so I was decently confident judging the modeling designs of those so-called “fanbase groups.” Not that I was evaluating anyone, I was just going to pick the ones I personally liked.

I had no idea viewers would explode like this when I only broadcast alone before. The most viewers I ever got was nine. I had never even crossed double digits.
Honestly, the second I opened my eyes as Seo Yuna and looked in the mirror... I thought my whole life was going to be super easy. After all, I was ridiculously beautiful. Pretty enough, not so ugly I was gross.
People would flood in and I’d blow up fast if I looked that good, right? But reality hit me like a truck.
No one cared about “beautiful, good-figure girls like that.” Even if they noticed, they didn’t bother coming to watch. They just scrolled past or waited for clips or screenshots in the community. Or sometimes they just followed and left it at that.
Face, boobs, thighs... you could check all of that in the replay videos anyway. And live streams meant competing with other streamers at the exact same time slot, so why would anyone click on the girls who did nothing special?
There were those “haha viewers” who deliberately sorted the chat by lowest viewers and just watched empty rooms, but those people couldn’t live off streaming alone. Once they got big, they usually vanished without a trace...
Anyway, with way more viewers than usual, I decided to pay extra attention to my voice. Even if it was fake, I had to look pretty for the viewers, right?
“Aah... Hello~ This is Lim Ttidue. Hope everyone’s having a great evening~ Did you eat yet?”
-Ttiha~
-Princess, you’re so pretty today lol
-What? Is there something wrong with the chat?
My usual viewer count was only 4 or 5, and the chat was basically one or two people spamming everything. So unless they were complete idiots, they had to know who I was.
They were all panicking and typing frantically right now.
I had told them about today’s content in advance, but they clearly didn’t expect this many people.
Of course, 70 or 80 viewers seemed nothing special to them, but compared to my usual room it was a massive surge. To me it was huge, like Armstrong’s first step.
“Wooaah”
-Do you have a short skirt set?
-Whoa, boss you’re stunning
The chat didn’t explode, but it was still fast and nice for me after being so quiet.
Normally there was almost no one chatting, so I had nothing to say. I had to keep talking since I was streaming, but I didn’t want to just read the chat like I was acting special. And those viewers weren’t there to make me feel special anyway...
It was a mess in every way.
But what the hell is “wooaaah”?
“What’s ‘wooaaah’?”
-Hah
-Hah
-You saw the weird chat
-Sorry...
“No, no, it’s not ‘sorry.’ I just asked because I didn’t know. I only started streaming recently.”
Stop grunting at each other and just answer...
But even without telling me, I could guess from their reactions. They said something about big breasts, so that was it. I could have said it myself, but I figured if I did the chat would fill with creeps, so I just ignored it.
I wasn’t stupid enough to not think.
“And for the short skirt set... I don’t have any ready, so I probably can’t give it to you. I’ve been working a regular job for a while, so I don’t have many clothes...”
-You quit your job?
-Oh, I never heard that story
-Then at least wear a uniform? 100,000 jeollyeok is fine, right?
100... 100,000 jeollyeok?
A whole 100k just for changing clothes?
-Boss you’re blushing lol
-You’re so cute
The chat... I still wasn’t used to it. They were saying nice things, but... ugh...
I couldn’t think like that. As a hako (no-good girl) I should be grateful for even the support. I should just be thankful.
I quickly checked the timer. I had said the content would start at 30 minutes, and there was still a little time left... maybe I could chat for a bit.
“But...”
I weighed it and decided fast.
“As grateful as I am, I have a scheduled content for today, so I’ll focus on that.”
-Ah... okay
-Ggb
-I’m looking forward to the World Cup lol
But it felt a little empty without the skirt set. While I was doing image-making and services, though...
“Since you brought it up, thank you. I’ll change real quick. You don’t have to donate... just wait a second! Only three minutes!”
-Oh
-Whoa
-Wow!
-Only three minutes?!
I refused to take the money and change immediately because I didn’t want to look like I was just money-hunting. But I also didn’t want to ignore someone who spent a lot on me, so I decided to at least show them the skirt set.
That was a perfect scheme...
Anyway, I burst out of the sound booth and headed for the closet. Since the camera angle meant the door couldn’t show anything from this side, I didn’t have to worry about being seen changing.
Changing clothes quickly was easy. It wasn’t hard, and I didn’t have to be as careful as when I went to work. Women have so many things to worry about. Seo Yuna didn’t have to wear a hairband because her hair was short...
I changed super fast and stepped back into the sound booth. The viewer count and chat reactions jumped even more.
-?
-What? Why army uniform?
-Eh?
-Are you a soldier?
-Sergeant Major??
“I got discharged, so now I’m just a civilian, right? How does it look? This is all I have to show you.”
I smiled awkwardly at the camera and the next thing I knew, a voice I’d never heard before exploded through my earphones while the broadcast started.
MidlinerManViewingOnly 100,000 jeollyeok donated.The uniform is so pretty... lol Just a show of appreciation. <
“Ah? Ah... oh my~! Chairman MidlinerManViewingOnly~!”
The guy who had been asking about the skirt set earlier sent 100k jeollyeok and I shot up from my seat to greet him.
I had never received that much total donation in all my time streaming, and since I didn’t have any preset reactions, I just stood up.
“Uh, I don’t have preset reactions for donations... sorry, it’s kinda flat. Thank you so much!”
MidlinerManViewingOnly - No problem lol It’s nice to see you too.
-Kyaa~
-You’re doing content in the uniform?
-Amazing lol
-Even in uniform you’re pretty... wow...
The chat was full of genuine compliments and it was embarrassing but sweet. Honestly I didn’t mind. Everyone craves praise, right? It wasn’t that weird...
-You must have been super popular in the unit
-Your superiors must’ve been envious...
-Envious as hell
-Maybe you’ll tell us more army stories later?
“Uh... army stories... well, I don’t really have anything interesting to say. My service wasn’t fun, so I probably won’t have much to share. I’ll think about it later.”
Because it was army stories that made guys go crazy, the chat speed picked up a little. Or maybe it was just because more people kept joining.
With the 30-minute mark approaching, viewers shot straight toward 150. For someone else that was nothing, but to me it was enormous, like the first step of Armstrong.
150 viewers... If I could keep that many on my own power, living off streaming would be a dream come true.
Of course, viewers and income aren’t perfectly proportional. There are single-digit streamers who make bank, but I was just speaking in general terms.
Anyway, time to start.
“Alright! Thirty minutes are up, so let’s begin. Uh... YTuber Ideal World Cup~ clap clap clap~”
-Jijijiji
-Let’s go
-Who’s gonna win?
-How much do you know about streamers, boss?
“Me? I looked up a little before I signed up and haven’t watched since, so I don’t know much. Then suddenly Japanese videos started popping up on Nyatube.”
It wasn’t isekai reincarnation, but no one would believe that anyway.
Anyway, let’s start the content. I clicked the World Cup I had seen earlier and the 128-strong tournament kicked off!
“I don’t know much about streamers, so I’m just gonna evaluate based on appearances. Please take it with a grain of salt!”
-Yeah
-Who’s gonna win?
-It has to be the Paradise Kids, lol
-Nelly’s pretty though
The chat was already arguing who would win, but none of the names I knew were there. I had thought about researching before the tournament, but I didn’t want people looking at me oddly every time I picked someone.
Instead of agonizing over the success metric they called “tier,” it was better to just run with it.
Anyway, I started the tournament and the very first matchup I saw made me frown.
-Oh! It’s Nelly!
-Mch start: Lumina vs Paradise Kids
Left side was the classic standard YTuber look. I thought it was rude, but there were probably at least five thousand of those designs floating around. Just a basic cute anime girl type.
Still, compared to the right side, left was definitely prettier, which meant it had real competitiveness.
But the right side... was different.
“Is this just a VR world avatar? Isn’t this a streamer?”
I immediately picked the left side with that thought, and
-?
-What?
-?
-Hah
-Kkkkkkkkk
-?
-It’s over
I saw the chat explode at a speed I had never seen before.
