Chapter 766

〈Chapter 766: Part 2, Chapter 6, Episode 29 – Streamer Seo Harang〉

Since there’s a new person in the house, we need to adjust and prepare some new arrangements accordingly.

When Seok Harang first moved in, we simply discussed which room she’d use. But now that our relationship has grown stronger, it’s time to rethink things.

“We can’t live separately.”

“Even if we’re in the same house but using different rooms, I don’t like that idea either.”

Both Shin-ra and Seok Harang wanted to stay under the same roof, so they rejected the idea of living apart entirely.

So, sticking to our original plan, we decided that the current master bedroom would become Shin-ra’s room, while another room would be designated as Seok Harang’s personal space.

“Can I use this one?”

“Of course.”

The room Seok Harang chose was the closest to the master bedroom—a space we originally intended to use as a study cum game room.

Since the interior work had been paused, leaving the room empty, Seok Harang could decorate it exactly how she wanted.

However…

She turned it into a personal broadcasting studio, inspired by those “female streamers” who broadcast from their bedrooms. She decided to spend her time there.

“Just come on in.”

Shin-ra offered to share the bedroom with Seok Harang, considering their future relationship dynamics. Thinking ahead, they ordered an extra bed, sized perfectly for two people to cuddle comfortably. The couple’s bedroom eventually became packed with beds, enough for five people to lie down side by side.

“I have my limits too. Even a small room is fine.”

But Seok Harang declined Shin-ra’s offer. No matter what, she wanted her own private space.

“Hmph, such a sly one.”

I had already noticed, and Shin-ra wasn’t oblivious either.

“Are you planning to visit her room later? You’re such a fox, luring people into your den during breaks. Trying to pull someone into your room after pretending to live separately?”

“You know me well. Two nights in your room, one night in mine. And occasionally, I can monopolize holding you in my arms, right?”

“And on the fourth night, we all sleep together in the master bedroom. Perfect! Hmph… Just kidding. Let’s stick to three nights together. But I’ll give up one night as a compromise.”

“…I don’t like that. I only want to sleep alone unless it’s with you, big brother.”

“…What are you even doing? Alright, alright. We’ll discuss sleeping schedules later. Anyway, it’s settled that Harang will use this room, right?”

Though bewildered, we agreed to follow Seok Harang’s wishes.

The master bedroom became Shin-ra’s room.

The game room became Seok Harang’s personal space.

“But Harang, didn’t you say your room would be used as a streaming studio? You mentioned putting a bed in there too.”

“That’s right. The microphones and cameras are already set up. Big brother checked everything—it’s top-notch tech.”

“So…you really intend to do that?”

“Yeah. Why not?”

Seok Harang pointed to her room.

“If the camera angle is adjusted properly, the bed won’t show. Plus, with chroma key effects, no one will see it anyway.”

As soon as you open the door, the bed comes into view. On it lies a life-sized plushie of ‘Seok Harang,’ replacing the usual bean bag.

“Ta-da! Harang’s here!”

Next to the door is a fully equipped desk for personal streaming.

“My streamer nickname is already decided. The company suggested I go by ‘Streamer Seo Harang.'”

“…Oh dear.”

“Anyway, no one knows it’s me, right?”

That’s correct.

Seok Harang decided to enjoy her life here by starting a personal stream. Unlike Shin-ra, who finds joy in household chores and gaming in her free time, Seok Harang isn’t interested in housework.

And she doesn’t want to sit around idly like dried fish either.

“What will I tell my child when they ask what their mom does?”

“…Isn’t being a streamer while married a bit weird?”

“That sounds fun though. Debuting as a hero at 12 and becoming a mom-streamer at 22—doesn’t that sound interesting? Hehe.”

Trying to stop her is basically impossible.

For one simple reason:

“This girl is secretly, or rather blatantly, attention-seeking.”

Ever since she was 12, she’s lived in the spotlight, much like a child actor who can’t leave the entertainment world. A national idol and goddess celebrated by everyone couldn’t just stay home quietly in 2020.

With no monsters or villains to fight here, sitting at home watching TV all day isn’t an option.

It’s good for people to have hobbies.

Just…broadcasting worries me a bit.

“Seok Harang exposing herself online seems risky, but keeping her locked up at home might be worse.”

No matter how cautious we need to be in this world, we can’t suppress her desire to be recognized by others.

In some form or another, Seok Harang will want her presence known widely.

– So, big brother gets to choose. Out of being an entertainer, a model, or a streamer, which seems best?

– …Dura-han.

Seok Harang made me guess, and I chose the role of a streamer, thinking it would hurt her the least.

– Voice-only streams are prohibited.

– Why?

– Only I get to hear that.

– …Fair enough. Hehe.

Thus, Seok Harang decided to become a voice-only streamer.

All the equipment has arrived, and all that remains is testing before the actual broadcast begins.

“I really don’t get it. What wind blew through your mind to make you want to become a streamer? Ultimately, this is your choice, right? Since you said you’d do it…they’re just helping out.”

“It seems fun.”

Seok Harang’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Don’t worry about the noise between big brother and Shin-ra. I’ve set up both physical soundproof booths and magical barriers, so it shouldn’t leak outside easily.”

“…This feels like it’ll flop after bouncing between 2 to 4 viewers.”

If it flops due to lack of interest, maybe it’s better that way. This is partly my selfish hope. That’s why Shin-ra and I decided to record broadcasts instead of streaming live.

– These guys are hopeless. What? My husband did what? Want to eat Phoenix? Should I burn you all to ashes?

…Whenever troublemakers cause chaos in real-time, I have to cut the broadcast.

– I understand wanting to impregnate me—I am the most beautiful goddess after all! But wanting to impregnate my husband is something I cannot tolerate! God damn—

Otherwise, I feared an enraged Shin-ra might destroy the Earth.

“It won’t fail, right? Seok Harang’s voice is so pretty.”

Shin-ra, who was cooking in the kitchen, chimed in.

“But accidents happen when the camera stays on while you’re fooling around in bed or something.”

“Then that’s even better. The whole world will know who Seok Harang belongs to.”

Seok Harang giggled and pointed at the computer.

“It’s just a hobby, nothing strange. Don’t worry. And because of this, ‘Seok Harang’ officially belongs to big brother.”

“…Damn bastards.”

Mr. Cho proposed the idea of ‘streaming’ under the guise of extracting Seok Harang’s modeling data, linking her to the company.

Streaming existed even back in 2020 on Earth.

Special abilities were often showcased as main content by many broadcasters. Filming rampaging monsters from afar or raiding dungeons live brought popularity.

Seok Harang grew up familiar with the gaze behind the camera lens.

While I’m not overly worried, one concern remains…

“What about those perverts lusting after you?”

“Eh…that’s something Shin-ra can handle, right? She said this: my body belongs to big brother, so any fantasies they act out are just normal male behavior.”

“…”

Becoming a goddess has changed her mindset quite a bit.

“So, you should just find it cute. After all, you gave away a daughter-like monster to a student-like guy and complained about it, right?”

“That guy is…never mind. Fine, I’ll help you set it up, so turn it on.”

If we’re going to do this, let’s do it thoroughly.

They promised to manage the ‘manager’ side of things, dealing with toxic elements, so it shouldn’t be a major issue.

“…But these aren’t the equipment I expected?”

“Yeah. To calm down the restless masses clamoring for my model data, they insisted on using this.”

“…What the hell?”

Seok Harang pulled out an unidentified camera from a box beneath the desk.

The lens was covered with strange attachments that looked unsettling at first glance.

“What is this thing?”

“Hmm…a dimension-lowering camera? According to the manual…it works!”

Beep.

On the large monitor.

Seok Harang appeared like a 3D character inside a game when captured by the camera.

“2D mode…? Should I try pressing this?”

Beep.

This time, her three-dimensional form disappeared, and she transformed into a moe-style maiden moving in live 2D animation.

“…Crazy.”

We live in an age where electric cars are common and hydrogen vehicles still pose explosion risks, yet these mad scientists are applying sci-fi level tech for this?

Is this even allowed?

“Big brother, look…whoa.”

“Wait, what the hell?”

Through the camera.

I appeared as a ‘blonde Western man,’ i.e., the commander.

My hair turned blonde, and my eyes became blue like Shin-ra’s.

“Are these crazy people seriously…?”

“…Should we just call it cosplay streaming? Wow, this is impressive. What I’m seeing is you, but what the camera sees is totally different.”

Seok Harang wrapped her arms around my neck, grabbing my collar.

“If Seok Harang and the commander flirt while playing games, won’t the audience explode in rage?”

“…It’s not cam broadcasting anyway.”

“Still…”

Smooch.

“All those kissing sounds will be heard, you know.”

“The stream will be paused.”

“What? Didn’t you guys already stream 18+ visual novels?”

“…”

I couldn’t argue.

And so…

A virtual streamer linked with the game company, ‘Seo Harang,’ entered the internet streaming scene.
