“Just wait a moment, oh my. Love… Puhah… How was that, everyone…!”

First song.

After belting out the Korean version of the old anime opening ‘Butterfly’ in its entirety, I downed the remaining drink in my cup and checked the mood in the chat window.

─Why are you so good, wtf???
─So, is the gallery master really that old?
─Cute lololol
─Honestly, Butterfly isn’t an oldie, right?
─For real, a masterpiece knows no time, don’t you know?????

There were quite a few comments complimenting my singing, but just as many discussing my age.

Well, it is quite an old song by today’s standards.

It’s even from when I was a kid in my past life.

But does that really matter?

If an old song is good, then it’s good, right?

“Right, everyone…?”

─What the hell are you suddenly saying, wtf lol
─Dude, you’re drunk
─Please don’t expect sympathy out of nowhere…

“By the way, I realized something amazing…”

Isn’t there no need to separate drinking broadcasts from singing broadcasts?

“Can’t we just… drink while singing…?”

─Gasp
─Finally realized it, huh
─What you’re saying is all over the place, dude lol
─This is how drunk people usually act
─They say they’re not drunk, though…
─Our dumbass still has thoughts, ugh
─Are you taking song requests???

“Um… Sorry, but I don’t know many songs, so requesting might be a bit hard… So, today… I’ll just sing the songs I prepared…”

─Known song) That ancient gem ‘Butterfly’
─Why is Butterfly considered an oldie, though?
─Isn’t it weird not to know Butterfly in Korea?
─Old folks are having too much fun lol
─Grandpas need nursing care…

“Then, since my glass is empty, I’ll make another one…”

Just a moment ago, one of the Rebongis had put a recipe in the chat window.

What was it called again? Skeleton Driver? Skull Diving? Something like that… My head was just a bit dizzy, so I couldn’t remember.

Anyway, since it was said to be tasty, let’s think about it while I drink that.

“Hmm… doo-doo-doo… Let’s make a drink…”

─Hearing this live again lol
─So cute, seriously, I wanna kidnap her and take care of her forever
─She’s my wife, everyone…
─She’s my girlfriend
─I don’t usually watch streams, but I can’t help but keep watching Rene…
─You’re falling for her lol
─When I first saw her, I thought she was a total airhead, and it was frustrating every time…

Filling the glass with ice… pouring a little vodka, then filling it with orange juice…

“With this, it’s done…! Looks delicious….”

The completed Skeleton Diving didn’t look particularly like a drink.

It just looked like orange juice… but hey, orange juice is good, right?

“Let’s take a picture… Ta-da…! Looks good, right?”

─Surprisingly, it turned out well
─Isn’t that a lady killer?
─Yeah, it mostly tastes like orange juice, so you keep drinking it lol
─Fact: drinking with this girl will make you a gentleman killer
─How do you expect to win a drinking contest against this girl? lol
─This beast of a woman says it’s delicious after drinking soju mix at a ratio of 8:2;
─Is that how all Siberians are…?

“Then, I’ll drink it…!”

Saying that, I downed the Skeleton Driver in front of me in one go.

“Ugh….”

It was a sweet and sour taste that made my tongue happy. The characteristic bitterness of alcohol was hardly noticeable.

To summarize in one word…

“It seems great for drinking to sober up when intoxicated…!”

─Info: Screwdriver has an average alcohol content of around 15 degrees.
─That’s not for hangovers…
“So what song should I sing now…?”

I had prepared a total of 10 songs for today’s broadcast.

Since I just sang one of them, Butterfly, now there are 9 songs left.

Which one should I pick?

Well… all remaining 9 songs are masterpieces, so any pick would be fine.

“So, I’ll go with this song…!”

[Hello, everyone]

[Talk | 2534 Viewers | 00:00:20]

─???????
─What is this?????
─Wasn’t this girl supposed to be going to sleep?
─What are you doing, teacher?

“Hello… I’m lying in bed… I was about to sleep, but I can’t….”

─If you’re drunk, just go to sleep lol
─If you drank from 5 to 11, just sleep lol
─What? Did you drink that much today? I just got home from work, ugh
─I can’t believe I missed this live lol
─The smell of alcohol from the title alone, wtf lol

“I thought it would be nice to chat for a bit before sleeping…”

─Did you turn on the broadcast with your phone?
─I can’t see anything, teacher ㅠㅠ
─You’re the best, Rene-chan!!!!!!

“Oh, yes… it’s my phone, and um… I can’t help it if there’s no broadcast screen, so please bear with me…”

The chat window was filled with mixed reactions of telling me to just sleep and liking the idea.

Hmm.

I’m not drunk at all, so it’s okay for me.

“Right…?”

─What’s that supposed to mean, wtf lol
─I have a feeling the gallery master will suffer from a hangover after sleeping and waking up
─I thought the same thing last time, but didn’t you not have a hangover at all?
─You drank way more than that time, so there might be one, lol
─Considering how much I drank today, it’d be odd not to feel hungover
─Even if there’s no hangover, the black history still remains, it’s fine lol
─??? : I really like the Rebongis, ughhhhh

─Hahahahahahahaha
─At least you didn’t make an orphan joke.
─For real lol
─Last time I suddenly made my parents who were in the living room disappear???

“Everyone… what happened then wasn’t my intention… I was just saying I like you guys that much…. If you think about it, being an orphan isn’t a bad thing, right? I didn’t want it to happen in the first place…”

─That’s true, yeah…
─Honestly, growing up this well under parents like that is amazing in my opinion.
─True
─Great Demon Rene

“That’s right… I’m incredible… Hmm… ah, right… someone asked that in the last broadcast, so I was gonna talk about it….”

Whack!

“Ugh…!”

─What was that???
“Oh, my phone fell on my face….”

In that moment, I lost my grip and the phone collided with my face in an instant.

“That hurt…”

─Talking to yourself, lol
Hmm.

If I keep holding it like this, it’ll probably fall on my face again…

This is why people use a stand or something.

Now I regret not understanding what the need for such things was and not buying one.

“Just a moment…”

Alright, I’ll get up for a second…

Since holding it is tiring, um…

“…Ah.”

There’s something right in front of me that’s perfect for propping it up.

See, I am a genius.

“Hmm… never mind.”

It wasn’t a problem to put it there, but I had to keep my neck bent down, making it uncomfortable.

The weight of the smartphone also made it heavier than usual, which added to my discomfort.

Am I really an idiot…?

Either way, I should find another way.

─What the hell is this girl doing?
─My ears are being tickled hard
─Was this an ASMR broadcast? lol
─It really feels nice, like you’re whispering in my ear…

“Ah… I was just thinking about how to place my phone… since I need to see the chat window, too…”

Would leaning on my pillow while lying down be a bit better…?

Once I reached that conclusion, I immediately lay on the bed and propped the phone against the wall.

─Today’s legendary for sure lol
─I hope you can sing one more song
─I wonder what kind of announcement will appear when I wake up…

It felt a bit stifling because of the pressure on my chest, but I could still see the chat window, so it was fine.

Hmm, this should work.

See, I’m a genius.

“Puhuh… then, everyone, sleep well…”

[The broadcast has ended.]

─???????????
─What is this girl doing for real, lol
─Crazy girl

─If you’re going to do that, just sleep from the start, wtf lol
─??? : I’m taking a break today.

─Then what were you saying earlier, wtf
─Right????
─Isn’t this enough for today, lol
─Please let us know before you go, Tenren!
