Chapter Title: Gallery Uproar
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Let's rewind time a little to the moment of Hanami's first collab stream.
The live stream was scorching hot—average viewers tripled, to the point of threatening the Switch servers.
But there was somewhere even hotter.
The holy land of Odinson's undead.
The hometown of domestic Odinson gamers.
...In truth, the one and only Odinson community.
The Odin's Son Minor Gallery.
Oma Gal had already been nicely spanked by Backside and conquered once before.
The gal dwellers were watching the live stream, squeezed in among the countless viewers.
Naturally, the shock when her voice was revealed was incomparable.
It's hard to even be surprised when faced with something too unrealistic.
The live stream viewers just went, "Oh, okay," and moved on.
But for the Bunny Princesses (noobs) who'd been playing Odinson forever, it was way too surreal.
Stunned and half-doubting, they soon reached a rational conclusion.
Aha! Netkama!
The game got big, so trolls like this pop up!
...A bit of a leap, but not incomprehensible.
Valhalla tier was always home to Valkyries (noobs), after all.
A female Valkyrie? No way something that baseless exists.
Female gender Valkyrie actually exists?
Impossible, impossible!!
Not impossible?!
The two priests instantly ascended to Gallery Lord and Vice Lord of Oma Gal.
The neighboring Odin's Daughter Minor Gallery was basically treated as the VTuber gallery's second squad.
As debates raged every which way, the heat kept rising past critical point.
Standing ovations when Hanami dropped attack keys.
Tears of感動 when she finally took down the boss.
Where else could you find noodles this tasty?
Compared to that, whether VTuber or whatever was minor.
Of course, some had gripes with the flow.
But no big issue.
The loudest voices in the gallery (best at 10 Wins) all had a knife in their backs.
Hanami's avatar spread beyond just Oma Gal.
Every game community was buzzing about the collab, unauthorized edits circulating on YouTube.
Most were busy laughing at the gap between hideous looks and beautiful voice...
But the virtual avatar got some side attention too.
Boss and Yuuri couldn't let the hype die down.
Woke up with a scratchy throat.
Ugh. What. Why so stuffy.
Because I passed out drunk sprawled out?
Looking around with that thought, I'd idiotically left the window open.
Remembering back, I'd done something stupid.
Kept thinking gotta close the window lying down, then drifted off.
Ugh. And skipped brushing teeth too.
Feels so gross.
Shuffled to the bathroom, grabbed toothbrush, came out.
Perched on bed, massaged to get blood flowing.
Gently rubbing throat, blood finally rushing to head.
Lucky muscle memory lingered, but getting blackout drunk every try wasn't easy.
Still, young body clears hangovers fast—love that.
Tingly.
Feels fresh every time.
Young bodies are the best...
Rinsed foam, sat in chair, kneaded from throat to limbs hard.
Technically groping a woman's body, but zero thrill.
Like "kneading rice cake"—no sensation no matter where.
Admired mirror body washing up, but no lewd thoughts.
Well, getting turned on touching your own body is kinda funny anyway.
Imagining naked dude? No arousal, just mood killer...
"Haa... Don't wanna think about anything."
Not urgent, so no need to dwell.
But living in this body, it'd come up eventually.
Muscle memory experience deepened the doubt.
Does my mind follow soul or body?
How much of Kang Ji-min's influence left? Until when?
"...Nah. Whatever."
Best to postpone non-essentials.
Right now, more important stuff.
Bank balance.
Last revenue was juicy, but attention's consumable.
Won't get same revenue share every time.
So tonight, refresh mindset and...
Fuck.
Forgot throat care.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Test pitch, varying range louder.
Luckily, no big issue.
Just husky from hangover?
Need reflection time.
After cracking door code, few more shots— that was it.
Total self-inflicted?
Reason for it though.
Just four digits unlocked a lot.
Cracked blog used like diary.
But content... midway too stuffy to bear.
Grabbed priciest whiskey from shelf.
"Ahem. Hm."
Pharmacy for something?
Ji-min's vocal cords seem sturdy...
Wonder if I can talk right in collab later.
"Hel doing well draws interest, good, but one regret—Tyr got smacked down? Actually, stuff highly rated in Hel was all experimentally introduced and verified in Tyr, leading to further development."
"Uh. Yeah."
"Critic opinion differs from users? Tyr reviews so pretty, could've aimed GOTY if not for X-Tendo's plumber uncle dropping insane game... Regret grows. Swept 3/5 major noms."
"Um. Teacher."
"Played Odinson from Thor, Dot Game era, but Tyr was most fun. Pre-Tyr, afterimage judgment ping-dependent, Arena ignored? Practice useless if ping loser always wins. Tyr algo fixed ping diffs for fair wins. Ranked heated up, overseas to JP/KR servers..."
"Are you listening?"
"...Yes."
No problem at all!!
