Her Name is Elodie — The Crazy Girl Who Peed in the Men's Room Is Our New Streamer... Singgeul Bunggeul Management Is Screwed!
As I stared intently at my phone, the woman started approaching me, looking flustered.
"Ah! Wait, no police! Korean number one!"
"Oh, at least pull up your panties before you come over."
Since it would look weird if others saw, as soon as she pulled up her panties, I grabbed her wrist and sat her down on a chair outside the restroom.
If she were a normal woman, I would have just written her off as crazy and bolted, but I couldn't because of the Affection Grinding app notification. What kind of fated meeting is this? This is a perfect situation to get misunderstood and dragged to the police station. Contrary to my serious expression, she was smiling brightly. Where should I even start?
"Excuse me... why are you in the men's restroom?"
"Huh? Isn't this the women's restroom?"
What is this. Is she someone whose common sense has been altered?
"But look at that!"
"..."
Below the men's restroom sign, it said 'woman'. I pointed to the arrow next to it.
"That means the women's restroom is back there."
"..."
She stared blankly at the arrow, then suddenly screamed.
"Kyaaaah!"
"Whoa, you scared me."
"What do I do... So I was peeing in front of a strange man while showing him...?"
To be precise, I didn't really see her privates. But that's not the point. She started panicking, mixing in hard-to-understand English. So she must have mistaken the restroom. She's not crazy after all. That's a relief... no, it's not. There's still one more problem.
"First, calm down. Um... I understand it was a mistake, but why were you doing it standing up?"
"I thought that's how it was in Korea. This is K-Restroom! I thought so~"
She's definitely crazy. This is the first time I've experienced a pretty body and face being overshadowed by personality.
"Yes, well, enjoy the game festival. I'll be going."
"Are you leaving without peeing?"
"I've already held it in."
For now, I'm putting off recruiting this person as a streamer. I don't think I can handle her. As I walk back to the booth where the advertisement is happening, she suddenly links arms with me.
"Yay~ Then let's enjoy the festival together!"
"Wait, hold on."
I tried to pull my arm away, but I kept feeling her chest, so I decided to leave it. So this is Western development.
"What's your name? I'm Elodie! I'm 20 in Korean age. I came to Korea right after becoming an adult."
"I'm Kwon Seojun. I'm 22."
"Seojun! Age 22, I'm 20 so..."
She uses her fingers as if calculating is hard.
"You're older than me. Then Seojun oppa."
"Oppa...?"
"Yes, oppa. Seojun oppa."
The word oppa keeps lingering in my ears. At the company, everyone is either the same age or older, so I never even had a chance to hear it. No, still, I can't be shaken by something like this. Somehow, with my arm linked with the silver-haired magical girl, we arrived in front of the booth waiting room.
The CEO with fox ears. Yejin with puppy ears. And Seoyeon in a striking bunny girl outfit.
"Seojun, where have you been? I was about to call you... Huh."
"So you went off and came back with a girl."
Both of their stares are sharp.
"Our manager has good skills~."
"Everyone, please give me a moment to explain."
Since telling the truth about what happened in the restroom would be awkward for everyone, I roughly covered it up by saying she was a lost foreigner.
"Aha, I see."
The CEO, now interested, started speaking English.
"HEY! what's your name?"
"I'm Elodie."
"Elodie! where are you from?"
"USA. America!"
"USA? I'm US."
Where is US?
"Where the hell is US, ma'am?"
"Ulsan."
"..."
The two of them asked each other's ages and started talking comfortably. Surprisingly, they seem to hit it off. Then the CEO made an interesting proposal.
"Since we met like this, how about doing a game advertisement with us? I'll pay you decently."
"An advertisement! Wow~ That sounds fun!"
That's a bit problematic...
"CEO, no matter what, she's a civilian..."
"I don't plan to put her on the front lines. I'll just have her help with simple errands like our manager."
"Ah, then that's a relief."
Even though it's simple errands, she started bouncing around excitedly.
"This will be fun! I'm glad I came in cosplay."
Unexpectedly, I decided to introduce Elodie, who would be working with us, to Seoyeon and Yejin.
"Both of you, speak comfortably with her like the CEO. She's 20. She's your younger sister."
"That's right! Elodie is 20!"
"Ah, okay... If Seojun says so."
Seoyeon said gruffly, while Yejin looked at her silver hair with curiosity as they exchanged names.
"Is your silver hair dyed?"
"No, I was born with it."
Yejin's eyes sparkled.
"Wow... This is natural silver hair! It's pretty. Suddenly I want to dye my hair silver too."
"I think blonde suits you better."
"Hehe, is that so?"
Meanwhile, Seoyeon was glaring at Elodie with her arms crossed.
"I don't know what wind blew that ajumma, but this advertisement won't be easy."
"I'll work hard, Seoyeon unnie!"
"Unnie...!"
Hearing the respectful address, her heart seemed to melt, and she immediately uncrossed her arms and handed over a red ginseng candy.
"Fine. Watch your unnie work. Since you're cute, I'll give you this."
"What is this?"
"Red ginseng candy. It's Korea's representative candy."
"Don't feed her weird stuff."
"Korea's representative... K-Candy...!"
She put the candy in her mouth nicely, but soon spat it out with a "bleh."
"It's not good!"
"Too much for a Western palate, I guess."
"Anyway, that's too much even for Korean palates, you know? Sorry, I'll apologize instead. Do you want some alphabet chocolate instead?"
"Ehehe, thank you."
Yejin also seemed to like Elodie quite a bit, as she started patting her on the head.
"Oh, look at me. Without realizing it... she feels like a little sister."
"It's okay, Yejin unnie!"
"Well, since everyone seems to have greeted each other..."
The CEO handed selfie sticks to Seoyeon and Yejin.
"Here! Start the game festival broadcast."
"Yes!"
"Ah, I'm screwed. I'm wearing a bunny girl outfit right now."
I chuckled, anticipating the viewers' reactions.
"You laughing?"
"Give me the selfie stick and phone. I'll turn it on. What should the broadcast title be?"
"Anything. Like 'I'm Wearing a Bunny Girl Outfit'."
[Broadcast Title: I'm Wearing a Bunny Girl Outfit]
"If you say bad things, you'll be banned immediately! You have to keep the manager in check."
"Yeah."
SeoyeonIsADummy donated 1,000 won!
You're Lee Seoyeon, passing the filming off to the manager... What are you, really?
"Shut up! That's what managers are for, isn't it?"
Seoyeon is still shy, covering her cleavage with an awkward posture.
"Anyway, as planned. Today, I'm wearing a bunny girl outfit... I came to do an advertisement at the game festival."
Meanwhile, Elodie popped into the broadcast screen.
"And I'm Elodie!"
"What, are you going on air?"
"I just thought it looked fun. Is this a public broadcast? Then I'm on TV!? Mom, I'm on TV."
"No, you know internet broadcasts? Like NewTube or TwXch. That kind."
"Aha. Still, I like it. Let me introduce myself."
Seoyeon was too embarrassed to continue the broadcast anyway, so I had no choice but to let her take over for a bit.
"My name is Elodie! I'm 20 in Korean age. I'm from America. My favorite food is kimchi."
SeoyeonIsADummy donated 1,000 won!
Try wrapping kimchi in ham
"Oh, that's really delicious! I eat it with seaweed too."
"I taught myself Korean. I even know recent slang. Mol?ru. Mol?ru. Mol?ru."
With Elodie's sudden appearance, the chat started blazing up. It seems the app wasn't wrong in recommending her recruitment; her broadcast sense is no joke. Meanwhile, Seoyeon, as if her shyness was gradually fading, straightened her back and started taking control.
"Now, well, then... focus back on me."
"Seoyeon unnie, your bunny girl outfit is so pretty."
"I know. I'm always pretty."
"I'll kill you all. Manager, you can give me the selfie stick now."
"Won't it be heavy?"
"Hmm... I'll tell you if my arm gets tired."
Seoyeon and Elodie's joint broadcast seemed to have a good atmosphere, so I left them and went to check on Yejin's broadcast. She was holding a selfie stick and, as if she had received some mission, was imitating a puppy.
"Yejin noona-nim. Thank you so much for the 10,000 won. Woof! Grrr... Mooong..."
Then she met my eyes and, embarrassed, lowered her head.
"Kyaaah! Since when were you watching?"
