It's been three years since Choi Gaho got married, but it still seems like he's considered a newlywed by those around him.
Most of his long holiday this ti is spent at ho. One day he visited his parents, and another day he visited his mother-in-law. The rest of the ti, he was given space to spend with his wife.
He had thought he would play more of a role as a son-in-law, but it was a little more tiring than expected.
It’s both a good thing and sothing unavoidable. As a professional gar, Choi Gaho spends a lot of ti at his gaming house, so it was inevitable that his ti with his wife would be relatively limited.
That said, he wasn’t just spending the whole holiday with his wife. He was watching Laura’s stream.
[Yes, the next story goes like this…
“Hello, I have a girlfriend. Before I started dating her, I had hobbies like idol fandom, watching female strears, and VTubers. She knows about all of these things. However, since we started dating, my girlfriend has been really controlling about my hobbies.
‘I'm going to do sothing else for the next two hours,’ I’ll say, and she’ll ask, ‘Are you going to watch female strears?’ Then, when I tell her what I want to watch, she’ll make a face like, ‘So this is the kind of style you like?’ When I go to an idol concert, she’s always checking with, ‘Why do you have to go to a concert for soone like that?’
I like idols, but I wish she would understand that my love for idols doesn’t conflict with my love for her.
What should I do?”]
Laura, what do you think?
[Just get married already, don’t you think?]
…What?
[If you live together for about five years, you’ll realize that knowing each other isn’t necessarily a happy thing. It doesn’t matter if you’re lovers or family.]
“…That’s true.”
Choi Gaho, who was living a married life, unconsciously agreed.
Although he was a relatively famous pro gar, his wife… well, she didn’t really know much about Labyrinthos.
Sotis she would co to the arena to watch Gaho’s gas, but to her, Labyrinthos was just moving images on a screen. She didn’t understand what was so fun about it or why Gaho was so absorbed in it to the point of devoting his life to it.
But not understanding doesn’t an it’s a bad thing; in fact, it was a sign of happiness.
His wife, in her own way, simply brushed it off with a casual, ‘I’m sure there’s a reason for it.’ The closer you are to soone, the more you tend to let things slide, and in a way, Laura’s response was exactly right.
It was right, but…
[So, Laura, you’re saying we should just get married, right?]
[That’s right.]
[So we should endure for five years?]
[Exactly.]
[But the person who sent this story probably wants a solution right now, right?]
[People don’t change overnight, do they?]
“…This answer is not cute at all.”
Gaho muttered without realizing it.
For the record, his wife watched Laura’s streams quite often. In fact, she might even watch more than Gaho did. It seed like she was more into VTubers than Gaho, who was the owner of the Fantasy League team. Sotis, she would even suggest to Gaho that they should have dinner with Laura soti.
Anyway, according to his wife, Laura was more of a cool woman than a cute one.
Gaho could understand that. Recently, when Laura cut down the Gryphon, he thought, ‘That was pretty cool.’
Still, she was a woman, right?
“She’s not cute…”
Of course, Gaho didn’t claim that all won had to be cute. But… don’t VTubers need to be cute? After all, it’s a profession that makes money out of that very thing.
Also, Gaho’s preference leaned more towards cute won than cool ones, although his wife was the cutest, of course.
In that sense, Laura and Nalim’s radio broadcast… wasn’t cute at all.
It was a bit funny, but it also made Gaho wonder, ‘Is it okay for a VTuber to be like this?’
Nalim didn’t seem to think differently:
[Should we hear soone else’s opinion? Let’s do a phone call!]
[A phone call? What are you talking about all of a sudden?]
[On real radio shows, sotis they call soone to chat, right? How about Laura calls one of her Discord friends to chat with them?]
[This sounds like it wasn’t part of the plan.]
[Yeah! I just thought of it!]
Nalim suggested it.
It couldn’t be helped.
Up until now, whenever soone had sent in a story saying, “I have this problem, what should I do?” Laura’s answer had typically been sothing like, “Then just die.” or “That’s simple, just kill yourself.” …sothing like that?
Of course, Laura had never actually said those words, but it felt like that, with responses like, “Just keep living as you were,” or “People can’t change, just accept it,” “Giving up is easier.” All of those answers felt pretty close to ‘just die.’
It was so cynical that the conversations always ended abruptly.
So, Nalim’s bold solution!
Phone call chance!
And the guest who was called in was none other than… Hanabane Rui!
[If you don’t like it, just break up. Why not just break up?]
And Hanabane Rui… was a doomsday enthusiast who wanted every couple to break up and had donated over 20,000 yen to Laura and Sora’s couple story broadcast!
[This is just salt in the wound! You’re flaunting your girlfriend who gets jealous of you!]
[Pl-please calm down, Rui… The person who sent in the story is a fan of our show!]
[Shut up! If I look at my viewer stats, all of them are n in their 30s or 40s!]
[What does that even have to do with anything… They could be married!]
[I checked on SNS, and most of my fans are single…!]
[Please don’t monitor your fans on SNS…!]
“…This is dizzying.”
Clearly, the wrong guest was chosen.
“Fate, huh? Accept it,” said the nonchalant Laura.
“If that’s the case, just break up!” said the pessimistic Rui.
In between them, Nalim was trying to keep the broadcast from turning into chaos.
[Be right back~.]
After causing a stir, Rui finally rejoined the voice chat.
[Sorry about that. I was suddenly called.]
“It’s fine. I was watching the broadcast too. It was quite fun.”
It was like a spicy sauce had been poured all over the broadcast.
Although he usually looked mature, Rui wasn’t exactly a normal person. He had quite the temper.
“Where were we?”
Gaho lowered the volu of the Aurora Radio broadcast and asked.
Today, Gaho had received a call from Rui.
It wasn’t the first ti they had been in touch, but today, they had finally decided to have a serious conversation.
While talking, he had been briefly interrupted by Laura and Nalim’s radio broadcast.
[We were talking about suggesting a position swap.]
Right, that was it.
Gaho adjusted his posture.
“A position swap. As a pro gar, I think sticking with what we have is the best option.”
Leviathan was performing well in the Fantasy League right now.
That was evidence that the current position arrangent was effective.
Of course, there was still a possibility that a position swap could elevate the team to a higher level.
But the risk was significant.
The Fantasy League had already been going on for more than a month, and considering the drafts, they had been practicing with the current positions for nearly two months.
If they changed positions now, it could disrupt the team’s chemistry. They might end up rebuilding a sandcastle that was already decent.
“Of course, I’m not dismissing Rui’s suggestion. Our team has done well with a double exit before, so a position swap could also be effective,” Gaho said.
[So, you’re considering it…?]
“I don’t think it’s for to decide. Like I said before, let’s have fun together.”
Gaho replied.
“Let’s hear Laura’s opinion too.”
The radio broadcast was concluded successfully.
‘That was an unexpected harvest.’
At the end of the radio broadcast, various guests were invited for brief appearances, and even though there was no prior notice, more people had agreed than Gaho had expected.
One of the guests was a mber of Nalim’s team, a VTuber nad Kuroko Lambert, who had been picked as a 3rd-tier mber for Gryphon and had the highest number of subscribers in the Fantasy League.
They didn’t talk much, but just the fact that they had made acquaintance was a valuable harvest. Proof of that was the highlight clips that were already being uploaded shortly after the broadcast ended.
‘Co to think of it, I haven’t interacted much with other teams.’
Aside from Nalim, Gaho had mostly interacted with Leviathan team mbers.
It felt a little regretful. There were 24 VTubers from different countries and companies, but aside from Leviathan team mbers, he hadn’t been able to connect with anyone else.
The Fantasy League was both a battleground and a social arena.
It was a great opportunity to increase subscribers and expand networks.
Among those, Gaho’s subscriber count had increased significantly.
Now it was ti to expand his connections a little more.
“The radio broadcast seems better than expected. Let’s keep doing it regularly,” Gaho said.
“Got it! When’s the next one?”
“Maybe in a week or two. Next week or the week after, which is better?”
“I’ll clear my schedule for it!”
“Hmm?”
It was only one day, but Nalim said she’d clear her whole schedule.
“Ah, Laura. I just got a ssage from Sora. I think you should check it out for a mont.”
Nalim saw her vibrating phone and opened the Discord chat window on the computer.
As she had said, Sora was typing in the chat.
【This_Code】 【Fantasy League Song Relay Server】
Announcent Channel
Ayano Kouji Sora [Hello! Everyone having a good start to the new year?] [By the way, the participants for the song relay have been confird!] [So, I’ve decided the relay order, please check it out!]
Ayano Kouji Sora [Also, let remind you of the song relay rules!] [We’ll be singing for 30 minutes each, in order.] [Each set list should include ‘assigned songs’ and ‘request songs.’] [The set list should not overlap with others, so please send it by February 8th!]
That was the content.
“Wow, amazing. Laura, you’re last in the order!”
And for so reason, it seed like Nalim was more excited than Gaho.
