Chapter Title: Tenshi's Korean Debut Stream
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest, calling it a collab didn't mean I had anything specific planned.
It was just a stream turned on to announce the hiatus, right?
If there was anything pre-planned, the hiatus notice was just a bonus.
"For now, why don't you start with a self-introduction?"
"Huh? Uh... Content-si! I'm Murasaki Tenshi!"
Tenshi-san seemed momentarily flustered, but as a seasoned broadcaster, she quickly delivered her greeting.
Huh, hearing it right in front of me feels kinda fresh.
- Tenshi??
-???
-天使？
-What?
-Why are they together?
-Was your friend Tenshi?
"Yes, my friend is none other than Tenshi-san. When I went to Japan last time, she showed me around, so this time I'm returning the favor by guiding her around Korea."
-For real?
-Dae mi ro
-Kya lmao
-They must be super close
-This stream's gonna be long, right?
"Huh? Long? It's a hiatus announcement, so it'll be short."
-???
-No way
[Artisan Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
You damn punk, if you've brought a huge guest, do at least 3 hours!!!! (scolding tone)
-Yeah, agreed...
-For real...
-Ordering chicken? Try it and see?
Whoa, whoa—did I overhype the expectations too much?
Now that Tenshi-san's here, everyone's forgotten about the hiatus notice and is thrilled like something big just dropped.
Hmm, time to pour cold water on the festive mood.
Which is a real shame.
"Unfortunately, I have zero plans prepared."
-???
-Why bring her then??
-That's no way to treat a guest
"Tenshi-san's not a guest; she's here to have fun in Korea. We're planning to go all out tomorrow."
-If you're playing tomorrow, stream today
-Film a vlog tomorrow at least...
-Damn, she's someone others can't even bring if they wanted to
-Did you pay her appearance fee??
"Oh, appearance fee?"
"Nope! I'm unpaid!"
At that moment, Tenshi-san, who had been quietly observing since her intro, jumped right in.
"Tenshi-san?"
"Boss is mean! I wanna go back home!"
-lmaoooooooo
-No way lmaoooooooo
-Foreign slave? lololol
-Miro controversy;;
-This is big? lololol
-Kill angle sharp lolol
No way, a backstab here?
I've felt it since yesterday, but Tenshi-san... her backstab game is razor-sharp.
"But yesterday you scarfed down that samgyeopsal so nicely..."
"You got me super drunk! Couldn't go home and had to party late!"
-Ohhh
-This is controversy territory?
-Miro's scrambling lololol
-Knew it
-Miro/Controversy
I was caught off guard by Tenshi-san's totally unexpected attack.
My flow's completely wrecked now.
Once the mob's riled up, the truth doesn't matter anymore.
Isn't there a saying for that?
You can incite with one sentence, but clearing it up takes endless documents and evidence.
And by the time you've prepared all that, the public's already been swayed.
If you're already entangled like this, it's game over.
If persuasion and proof don't work, what's left?
Exactly...
"Kyaa!"
"Lying from the bed like that!"
Force.
I whipped around and pounced on Tenshi-san, who was stirring up sedition and fabrications from the bed.
"It tickles!"
"Take my wrath, you foreigner!"
"Huh! Hands!"
-lmaoooooooo
-What are they doing??
-天使 幸せw
-Ohhh...
"Ahaha! For real, stop!"
But I overlooked one thing.
You can't overpower someone stronger than you with brute force.
"Hya!"
With Tenshi-san's cute little grunt, my body flipped right over.
"Huh?"
She pushed me but seemed surprised I went down so easily.
"Uh... you okay?"
"Don't say stuff like that... it makes me feel pathetic...."
I hate myself too.
Me, getting overpowered by a girl smaller than me.
"Uh... I've done dance training for a long time, so... um...."
Tenshi-san tried to comfort me awkwardly, then just beamed innocently.
"But it's been ages since I met someone weaker than me!"
-lmaoooooooooo
-Grass
-Miro's getting wrecked today lololol
-Tenshi bottom mi lolololol
Do my regular viewers know me too well or something?
Tenshi-san seemed to mesh perfectly with my stream chat.
...Honestly, it'd be better if she didn't.
Still, seeing her grinning ear to ear, she looks like she's having a blast right now.
...Even if I'm in a bit of a bind.
[Anonymous, thank you for the 5,000 won donation!]
How's Tenshi-san's Korean tour guide so far?
"Eh- um... We're doing the real stuff tomorrow, so I dunno yet! But we're hitting the convenience store together later!"
-Gotta hit the conbini if you're in Korea ㅇㅇ
-Don't Japanese ones better tho?
-Start with Y Uni cream buns ㅇㅇ
-Hot chicken gg
Mention convenience store, and sure enough, the Korean crowd floods in with food recs.
Yeah, gotta go to the conbini.
Looks like the hiatus announcement's gotten through enough now...
"Thanks, everyone. Alright, time to head out and grab some conbini food."
-?
-Keep streaming
-Pls don't end...
-No damn it, first packed stream in days
With Tenshi-san featured, ending it quick must suck for them—chat's flying up fast.
Hmm...
Honestly, I'm a bit reluctant to end it too.
[Anonymous, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]
Since you're heading out anyway, night stream gg?
"I'm a VTuber, though?"
VTuber night stream... what kinda unheard-of combo is that?
-You did cooking streams~
-Pls teacher
-My little bro's terminally ill and wants Miro-nim night stream so bad...
"Eh... no means no."
No matter how desperately you beg, no is no.
I'm agency-affiliated, after all.
Rules are rules, obviously...
Bzzz-.
Then a message popped up on my phone.
It was Manager-nim.
...No way?
[Do it if you want.]
...For real?
This could set a precedent?
If I do it and my juniors later whine, "Celestial 1st Gen Miro-senpai did it, why can't I? Discrimination~" during protests, I'd have nothing to say.
For now, table that—gotta ask Tenshi-san too, since we're going together.
I quietly showed her the text and asked her opinion.
Even if she's a fellow VTuber, if she has any reservations, I won't...
Sparkly eyes.
Tenshi-san read Manager-nim's text, eyes lighting up as she looked at me.
Like a kid who's always stuck at cram school, face asking if she can really skip and hit the playground today.
Was she secretly craving a night stream all along?
Honestly, I don't mind... but Tenshi-san looks eager.
Manager-nim sent it quick, so probably wants it too.
Viewers want it...
Huh?
Any reason not to?
"Alright! Let's go!"
And so, the bizarre VTuber night stream began.
Though... calling it a night stream is a stretch; it was just a conbini run.
Then mukbang after.
Can 30 minutes round-trip even count as night stream?
Anyway, once outside the front gate, I restarted the stream on my phone.
"We're outside now."
-Ooh..
-Why floor cam?
"What matters is streaming while out, right?"
Wore hats just in case, but better safe than sorry?
Might reflect in a window passing by.
Or pass a sign with the neighborhood name.
We walked side by side, chatting.
"Not freaking out this time?"
"Huh??"
"Like— whoa! Korean streetlights! Aren't we supposed to do this?"
"No way, what are you talking about!"
"You did earlier?"
I seized the chance to tease Tenshi-san.
-Why no recording?
-So cute
-Hah oshi... time to switch?
...? Why's their reaction different from mine?
Sigh... looks like Tenshi fans are popping up.
Fair, even with cool beauty me around, Tenshi-san's comet-like cute charm could turn heads.
But me, of all people?
Gotta reassert dominance sometime. Thinking that, we entered the conbini.
"Whoa...."
Tenshi-san gasped upon entering; I smiled and headed straight for the shelves.
Ramen first.
"Wow...."
Tenshi-san, basket in hand, trotted over and marveled at the ramen aisle.
"So many Korean ramens...!"
-lmaoooooooooooo
-So damn cute
-This is VTuber ㅇㅇ
-Tenshi should join Celestial 2nd Gen ㅇㅇ
...Okay, that was cute, I'll admit.
But national pride foreigner act? Total cheat code.
Plus, young cute Japanese girl—top of Korean guys' prefs.
Instant like multiplier.
"Bu-duk-bo-kkum-myeon, should I get this one?"
"...Tenshi-san, your pronunciation's spot on?"
*Ahem*....
-lmaoooooo
-Miro's clueless;
-Budak bokkum-myeon is correct lol
"Hmm... what to get?"
Tenshi-san pondered, eyes darting around.
Not just ramen—snacks, desserts too; tons she wants to try.
Well, overseas trip, wanna sample everything.
"Just grab whatever you want. If leftovers, keep 'em at my place."
"Huh? For real?"
"Yeah, no biggie."
How much could she grab? Leftovers for Dad's drinks or Mom's snacks.
Or my stream munchies.
"...Really?"
"Grab it all."
-Kya lololol
-Mi meo ni
-Anna's out!
-Miro's so mature
-Dae mi ro
-Info) Miro's soft
Tenshi-san hesitated briefly, then nodded at my firm say-so and started piling in.
Famous uni cream buns, national snacks every Korean's tried, ramen, drinks—all in the basket.
"Too much?"
"Yeah. Totally."
All that?
Mom's been stressing weight gain... this'll make it worse.
"B-but I wanna try 'em all!"
Tenshi-san's face glowed as she filled the basket to bursting.
...That excited?
To me, it's just occasional conbini grub.
"Alright, let's head back!"
After checkout, Tenshi-san (insisted on carrying) lugged the bags, grinning all the way home.
...Gotta film that face, not concrete.
"Hurry back. It's cold."
"Yup!"
Just as we turned to go.
"Um, excuse me...."
Two young guys approached and spoke up.
...They pinpointed the location?
That'd be creepy...
"What's up?"
I stepped forward; one guy scratched his neck sheepishly, offering his phone.
"Watched you awhile... you're totally my type... can I get your number...?"
Hmm? Oh.
Not a creepy pinpoint fan—just a random number-asker.
-???
-No you damn normie
-Kill him!!!
-Normie die plz!!
Chat's exploding in rage already.
Yeah, they were vibing like they were at the conbini with their VTuber, then real dude hits on—mood killer.
Anyway, gonna reject, might as well soothe pissed viewers and reassert order.
Everyone's simping for Tenshi-san too much.
"Hmm...."
Thought a sec, grinned with a good idea.
Guy brightens, thinking it's a yes—short-lived.
I waved my phone (camera covered, obvs).
Can't expose randos on stream.
Nor me.
"Sorry, I'm on the phone with my boyfriend right now."
His hopeful face freezes solid.
Sorry, but who told ya to assume?
Plus, crashed our fun time.
"Ah... figured you had a boyfriend...."
"Yeah, he's kinda mad now."
"Ah, sorry... have a good one!"
Guy bolts with his buddy.
...Works like a charm?
Glanced at chat post-guy.
-Who am I? 'Miro's Boyfriend' Who am I? Miro's 'Boyfriend' Who am I? Miro's 'Boyfriend'
-Mom I achieved my dream.. Mom I achieved my dream..Mom I achieved my dream..
-Normie cut lololol Normie cut lololol
-This is Miro
-Our baby..our baby..our baby..
-Dae mi ro
-Gut punch~
-As long as it's not meee~~
They're over the moon.
But... hope viewers don't get wrong ideas.
Miro streams are pure business.
Don't misunderstand!
We're just colleagues.
And so, Tenshi-san and I headed home.
