[Tuni: Okay, honey, I’m sorry. Don’t get so mad, LOLㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Inquisition Officer: I’m really sorry. Please don’t do that.]

Looks like they’re having a lot of fun, turning everything they’ve endured so far right back at them.
If this was useful info, give it a thumbs up, LOL.

ㅇㅇ🔹: Wow, are you a genius for real?
Dagurose🔹: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
This Place is Nice Without ㅇㅅㅇ: I feel like cursing a lot but is it normal?
└ㅇㅇ1: Can you hold that back?

Rene🔸: Please take this down.
└Anonymous New Dimension Gallery: Please explain in detail what’s wrong with this post, and I’ll take it down.
└Rene🔸: If you don’t take it down, I will take a break tomorrow.
└Anonymous New Dimension Gallery: Your account is suspended anyway, so you can’t stream, right, Tenryon?
└Pioneer: That break seems like a weapon now, damn, LOL.
└Anonymous New Dimension Gallery: If it really feels bad, I’ll take it down.
└Rene🔸: I think it’s okay not to take it down.
└Anonymous New Dimension Gallery: What is this, damn?
└Rene🔸: Since you must have worked hard creating this, asking you to take it down feels a bit much.
└Anonymous New Dimension Gallery: Thanks.
└ㅇㅇ: This feels like dating a girlfriend who completely dislikes the idea but still does it…

What exactly is this thing called romantic feelings?
I suddenly became curious about that.

Why, of course, it’s because of the event that happened in yesterday’s Nator Space.
No.
To be precise, it’s because of the reactions in Remagal that followed.

First of all, I have zero romantic experience.
In this life, of course, but I’ve never had such feelings even in my previous life.

I was in a situation where I couldn’t have any interest at all.
There was nothing satisfied among money, time, and people in that environment.

Well, I don’t know if having those would change anything, either.
Anyway, I’ve lived my life without any romantic experiences, thus, never having the feelings of love.
And now, for the first time, I feel curious about what those romantic feelings are.

But where on earth should I ask about this?
Talking about this with girls like Tuni or Harum seems impossible, as I don’t know anything about those feelings.
And talking with guys like Ga-eun or Owen might change the atmosphere into something awkward…

…Wait a minute.
Then isn’t it fine to just talk about it when everyone is together?
Am I a genius?

Anyway, what is the reason that a man and a woman meet and can fall in love with each other?
What is that feeling that enables romance?
Is it simply because there’s mutual attraction?

I certainly have feelings for the Rebongi.
For Ga-eun, Owen, Rex, Aris, Prophy, and even Jaehun, I can say I have affections for them.

So can I actually get into a romantic relationship with them?
As much as I think about it, that’s absolutely… not possible.

Well, for starters, I would have to begin with Pope Grandpa, right?
In other words, the affection felt towards family or friends is definitely different from the affection felt towards a lover.

Then what is that difference…?
It’s difficult, very difficult…

Ga-eun was currently participating in a Miscode Server.
And most of the participants in that Miscode Server were people Ga-eun knew.

Starting from her teammate Eunho (Owen), his sister Seoyeon (Tuni), VTuber Eri from the Sirius Team, and even Edde, whom she speaks with often regarding PVP.
While Harum from the Health Project was a first encounter, she knew who he was since he was a very famous online YouTuber.

Anyway, there were six people, including Ga-eun, who were invited to the same Miscode Server.
[Inquisition Officer👑]
And the person who invited those six was none other than Rene.

Rene contacted them first, saying she wanted to consult about something, and when Ga-eun replied that she understood, she sent the invitation for this Miscode Server.

But for some reason, Ga-eun had no idea what the topic of the consultation was or why so many people were invited.
All she could do was wait for Rene’s further contact.

About ten minutes passed like that.
Rene entered the voice chat room of Miscode.
[Inquisition Officer: Please enter the voice chat room.]

The six of them, including Ga-eun, also joined the voice chat room.
[Ah, hello everyone… Sorry for contacting you all of a sudden….]
[It’s okay. You told me before it was fine to reach out whenever you had something on your mind, right?]
[Are we supposed to apologize for this?]
[Considering what my Master has taught me, I can spare as much time as needed for this.]

After some simple self-introductions and greetings, they finally moved on to the main discussion.
[Thank you all… First of all, the reason I called you here today is… As I mentioned earlier, I have something I want to consult about….]

The atmosphere around Rene, which was completely different from usual, made it evident that she had something on her mind.
[…Ah. You mentioned that Master got their streaming account suspended, right? Is it about that?]
[No, it’s um… What do you all think love is as a feeling…?]

And indeed, she said that with an air of cluelessness.
Rene’s pure question caught everyone by surprise, and the Miscode Server fell into silence.

Breaking that silence was…
[W-What, what, what is this? Rene, did you get a crush on someone?!]
[AAAAAH! Who is it? Another streamer? An ordinary person? Or maybe someone famous?!]
[Please tell us more about it!]

Cheers from the girls, excluding Edde.
Eri, Harum, and Seoyeon were celebrating.
“I don’t really like romantic stories….”

“Phew…”
Knowing how long such topics could drag when a girlfriend starts this conversation, Ga-eun just sighed.

★

For some reason, the misunderstanding arose that I have developed feelings for someone.
I corrected them right away, but the talk came back as a suggestion that I didn’t need to feel embarrassed.
“Seriously, it’s not like that…”
[Ah, I see.]

It was only after I fully explained why I began pondering this that the misunderstanding seemed to clear up.
“So what do you all think love is…?”

Once again, I threw out the question.
The first to speak up was Ga-eun.
I was curious about her opinion, especially since she has a girlfriend.
[For me… I think it’s wanting to do everything together and being the first person to share everything that happens, right? The feeling for that kind of person seems to be love to me.]
[Wow, dude, that sounds a bit cheesy.]
[Shut up. I answered seriously because Rene asked a serious question.]

Hmm.
A person I want to do everything together with… I don’t have.
Fundamentally, I think being alone is more comfortable.
But as for sharing anything that happens, I do have such a feeling.
Lately, I’ve been thinking I should share everything with the Rebongi during streams.

…But that’s not because I feel romantic affection for them.
Let’s skip Ga-eun’s answer for now.
There could still be better answers from others.

[Love… It has no meaning at all, Rene… It’s all just an illusion…]
However, the response from Edde after that seemed to outright deny the existence of love itself, which made it pointless.
[Master… There’s a saying in the VTuber world: “Don’t fall in love with a VTuber.” Eri, I’m sure you know this saying too, right?]
[It’s quite a well-known phrase.]
[But even knowing that, countless listeners still fall in love with VTubers… This means that love…!]
[Wow, can your family stop talking? I’m so embarrassed to call you my brother… Actually, you should just die. Just go away, please.]
[Why does our family have a daughter who talks like this? Since it’s a good story, please be quiet.]

Tuni and Owen… well, I should probably talk to them separately later.
[I think… hmm. I kinda agree with Ga-eun’s opinion.]
[I agree too! Of course, since VTuber activities are the top priority now, I haven’t thought about this, but maybe one day I’ll meet someone I can think like that to?]

After listening to the last opinions from Harum and Eri, in the end…
My curiosity still wasn’t satisfied.
It’s difficult, very difficult…
