Noah's voice echoed loudly in the room.
Other SerenadeKR senior VTubers and staff casually glanced at Noah, but she paid them no mind and shoved her phone at Shina.
"What’s this?"
“It’s about Dungeon Seeker. Apparently, Aurora discovered a farming thod for Parasite Spiders that makes 50,000 gold per run.”
“Aurora again...?”
Shina scowled in irritation.
And since the topic of Dungeon Seeker ca up, Changyoung, who was idly nearby, couldn’t help but chi in.
“So they’re making money by selling infected teammates? Then I guess capturing entire monsters and selling them would work too.”
“Do you think that’s possible? The monsters in Dungeon Seeker are all tough. It wouldn’t be easy to capture one.”
“True. It’s definitely more efficient to just infect a teammate and capture them.”
They exchanged thoughts on the idea.
Lately, SerenadeKR had been busy. In fact, most VTubers were occupied during the end of the year for various reasons.
So were doing 3D streams for Christmas, so were preparing New Year’s voice content, and others were getting ready new costus.
A few were even out at external events, and Shina herself was scheduled to attend the "Badario Festival" in January.
With so many events, etings were frequent, and today, many of the VTubers were gathered at the SerenadeKR office.
“Forget about farming efficiency, that’s not the problem. It’s Aurora herself.”
Leaning against the wall, Mashina sighed deeply.
“Senior Shina, why do you always act like that? Didn’t Laura donate to your birthday stream recently?”
“Mashina, you're just being tsundere again. Noah, you should just let it go.”
“I’m not tsundere! Why are you so calm about this? Leviathan’s in first place with the most gold!”
Mashina spoke in frustration.
“Aurora did so weird stuff, so now Leviathan has 200,000 gold. If this keeps going…”
“Rider.”
“Changyoung Oppa, do you want to die?”
“You gave the perfect setup, how could I resist? Anyway, sorry to interrupt, but what were you saying about Leviathan?”
“They’re getting the at, I tell you!”
“Hmm.”
Mashina’s outburst left Changyoung and Noah unsure of how to respond.
at is delicious.
at bought with soone else’s money is even more delicious.
at is a critical issue.
However… shouting about it like that didn’t seem quite right.
If worse cos to worst, they could just buy it. It’s not like they couldn’t make money.
Plus, they knew that the 200,000 gold ca from Aurora’s generosity.
Honestly, Leviathan could have secured first place, but Aurora intentionally helped them out by writing off 300,000 gold. At this point, wouldn’t it be fair for any other team to send Aurora so of the at, even if they took first?
Changyoung and Noah exchanged glances, their eyes mixed with various conflicting feelings.
“Um, Senior Shina, do you want to have so at…?”
“Of course, who wouldn’t? Do you not like at?”
“Well, I do like at, but… Laura seems to really like you, Senior Shina, so I’m thinking if you ask her for so at, she’d probably give it to you.”
“Am I a beggar?! Are you telling to beg from Aurora?”
“You said you had a terrible GPA the other day… didn’t you?”
“Ugh…”
Mashina fell silent.
Although she didn’t have the dignity of a senior, she was even losing to the youngest mber, Eleonora, in terms of respect. This really showed how VTuber culture has a very blurred senior-junior relationship.
Shina, lacking the authority of a senior, and not even the verbal skill to persuade them, couldn’t help but sigh.
Suddenly, she noticed a figure casually sitting at a distance.
“Senior Nareum! Are you going to let Leviathan take first place like this?”
The Griffin team, currently the lowest performing in Dungeon Seeker, was being led by Nareum, who hated losing. She thought Nareum would agree with her.
So, Shina made a request for support from Son Nareum.
“...”
No response. She seed like a corpse.
Son Nareum was slumped in her chair, wearing wireless earphones, her eyes closed, lost in her own thoughts.
“...Is she asleep?”
“Senior Shina, are you making a joke? ‘Sleeping’ Nareum?”
“Why are you saying that too…? Do you hate now?”
“I think Nareum’s sleeping, so let’s not disturb her. I think she was up late last night too.”
At Changyoung’s suggestion, Shina and Noah moved to a corner of the lounge where they began making plans—almost entirely fantasies—about taking down Leviathan and Aurora.
By the way, Nareum wasn’t actually sleeping.
She had just been deeply lost in her thoughts and hadn’t heard Shina’s voice.
It was just the voice.
Nareum wasn’t listening to music.
She was listening to a voice that echoed in her ears.
[──You’ll live here forever.]
The voice resonated.
[Oh, it’s snowing. Of course, that has nothing to do with you.]
[Snow is a much dirtier substance than it appears. Even if it touches your skin, it’ll only harm you.]
[Just look at the snow.]
[Never think of going outside.]
She didn’t particularly enjoy the voice.
Although Nareum had co to the SerenadeKR office for a eting, the wait was unexpectedly long, leaving her with little to do.
Nareum didn’t particularly enjoy leisurely ti. When she had free ti, she’d prefer to practice gas or stream more.
So, in her boredom, she decided to listen to the voice instead of music.
It was simply that.
[Lunch ti is 11:45 AM. I won’t allow any other tis.]
[Of course, I won’t serve you any tea. You don’t need caffeine, it’s the last thing you need.]
[Brush your teeth after als. Bedti is 11:55 PM. Shower one hour before that.]
[Ah, do you need help rembering? It’s fine if you can’t, I’ll keep track for you.]
[You’ll live here forever.]
“Hmm.”
The voice was, indeed, quite nice.
Ah, but there’s one thing I must clarify.
I wasn’t really enjoying Aurora’s voice. Nor had I beco a fan of hers.
In fact, I had grown to dislike her.
How could I possibly like Aurora?
‘…She knocked out cold the other day.’
Nareum couldn’t help but rember what happened at Rinko’s house recently.
Because of Aurora, she had fallen into a deep sleep at Rinko’s house.
And because of Aurora, the viewers had been mocking her for being a “sleeping beauty.”
That day, she had planned to stream, too.
Huff.
Nareum let out a small sigh.
‘I never planned to lose in the first place.’
But I want to beat Aurora.
However, beating her seed impossible to even imagine.
I’m not saying I’ll lose. It’s just hard to picture myself defeating Aurora.
Definitely a lack of information.
So, Nareum concluded sothing. If you know yourself and know your enemy, you’ll win every ti.
If I understand myself and Aurora, I can win.
‘But I don’t know much about Aurora.’
All I know about her is that she’s doing so RP as an exiled noblewoman, her face looks almost identical to her avatar, she has particularly beautiful eyes, a nice voice, she’s arrogant, she drinks black tea, she wears short slippers, she’s good at gas, she’s about 160 cm tall, and sotis crosses her arms. Oh, and when she wants to embarrass soone, she makes a gesture of touching her cheek.
Oh, and her slap really hurts.
…It really does hurt.
Anyway, because I don’t know much about Aurora, whenever I have free ti, I’ve been analyzing her.
That’s why I even bought her voice to listen to.
Next month, a new yuri voice drama with Aurora and Chel will be released, and I plan to buy that too. I’ve already pre-ordered it.
But, of course, let clarify.
This isn’t fan behavior. It’s purely for analyzing Aurora.
‘I’ll make sure to apologize for what happened at Rinko’s house.’
Nareum promised herself.
By the way, Griffin vs Leviathan was scheduled as the 5th match.
Although there was still about a month before Aurora and I faced off in the Fantasy League, Nareum was analyzing Aurora a month in advance, thinking it would be better to prepare early.
【This_Code: Private chat with Son Nareum】
Son Nareum
[Hello, this is Son Nareum. It’s been a while since I last contacted you about the donation during Shina’s birthday stream.]
[First off, could you apologize for knocking out at Rinko’s house? I’ve been getting mocked by viewers lately.]
[I think playing a ga with would be a sufficient apology.]
Aurora
[You sure have a way of asking for collaborations.]
[If you’re inviting , please include the ti and broadcast details.]
Son Nareum
[Ah, I see. My apologies.]
Aurora
[You’re asking for an apology and then apologizing first?]
Son Nareum
[Yeah, I guess so.]
[Isn’t it possible for you to apologize too?]
Aurora
[You said you wanted to play together.]
[I’m currently playing Dungeon Seeker, are you coming?]
Son Nareum
[Oh, sounds good.]
[Well, I an, I said I’d play Dungeon Seeker with you. Nothing more.]
Aurora
[I’m not sure what you an.]
[Stop wasting ti and co already.]
Son Nareum
[Alright.]
[On my way.]
