What if I get sued?
That was the first thought Noeulis had when ordered to ask about Hida’s real chest size.
[Say that Hida’s avatar doesn’t reflect reality~. Quickly~.]
‘How on earth is she going to handle the aftermath of this...!’
To put it bluntly, it was extremely awkward.
After all, the person Noeulis had to talk to was a real celebrity.
Telling a famous person — whose name everyone knows — outright that “your chest is small” is essentially declaring, “Please sue me.”
In any case, this was still part of the content, so a lawsuit probably wouldn’t follow.
‘And she’s still a minor.’
For an ordinary person like Noeulis, this was terrifying.
She couldn’t even reveal the truth about Hida’s red pill to Diah, which made her even more uncertain.
Strictly speaking, Hida’s avatar was indeed exaggerated compared to reality.
Technically, the avatar was still just a concept, but even with just that concept, one could easily guess the size of the chest.
It was a size that most people could never even dream of.
It could never be considered natural — later, Noeulis would learn from Ji Hye-min that nothing in this world is truly absolute.
“Hi, I think Hida’s avatar... doesn’t match reality!”
“Hm, what do you mean by that?”
“The, um... real reflection. Ah, since Hida’s a witch, could it be that she grew it with magic? Haha...”
Even without knowing about Hida’s red pill, it was clear that the size was exaggerated.
Diah, who had never met Hida in person, probably started teasing her based on this assumption.
The funny thing was that the avatar blind date was originally designed to go exactly this way.
The content was designed to make Noeulis ask difficult questions, forcing both Hida and Noeulis to become embarrassed at the same time.
‘I’m really losing it.’
While Diah, controlling Noeulis, and the viewers enjoyed the carefree pleasure, Noeulis, controlled by Diah, was left with the awkward responsibility of carrying out the avatar blind date.
And so, a brief silence passed between Noeulis and Hida.
All kinds of thoughts started filling Noeulis’ mind.
Why is it so quiet?
Is she mad?
I was told not to mess with people with small chests, why did I say that?
Noeulis was thinking things like that.
But just a few seconds later,
[It wasn’t grown by magic.]
“Huh?”
[My body has always been like this.]
Hida began to clarify, not really explaining, but giving a sort of answer.
[Reality reflection... I don’t really understand what you mean. The witch’s appearance that Noeulis is seeing right now is my reality. There is no other reality.]
“Ah, I see. I must’ve been mistaken~.”
Noeulis agreed with everything Hida said.
She deliberately ignored the voice of Diah muttering “This isn’t it...” in another chat.
Noeulis thought that Hida was really pushing her RP hard.
She made it clear that there was no room for any discussion about the actress Min Da-yeon, only Hida the witch.
‘Maybe this is for the best.’
Not having to worry about the actress Min Da-yeon and just aligning with Hida’s RP was a relief for Noeulis.
Every time Noeulis reminded herself that she was talking to a real actress, she felt a little breathless.
The problem, however, was Diah.
Crossing boundaries and playing with lines was Diah’s identity, and Noeulis was worried about what kind of question Diah would ask next.
Sure enough,
[Hmm, ask if her hobby is eating children? Ask if she’s a cannibal—☆]
Diah’s playful voice once again echoed in Noeulis’ ears.
Yet, Noeulis couldn’t help but repeat what Diah said.
“Is... your hobby eating children?”
[Yes.]
“Uh, excuse me, but... are you a cannibal?”
Once again, silence fell.
At the same time, Noeulis felt the typical tension of an avatar blind date.
She had said what Diah commanded, but now she wanted to take it back.
Noeulis quickly tried to break the awkward silence by speaking up.
The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
“Ah, it was just a joke. You know, a witch eating children? That’s something from a fairy tale like Hansel and Gretel, right?”
However, despite Noeulis’ efforts, the question didn’t go unanswered.
[All stories in the world have origins. There is no such thing as a story that appears on its own.]
Hida’s voice dropped slightly.
Her tone became noticeably calmer.
A completely different atmosphere emerged from the witch’s voice in the chat.
Only Ha-eun realized that this shift in atmosphere was part of Hida’s RP.
‘...This sounds like prepared lines.’
Realizing that Diah, or rather Ha-eun, had been trying to provoke Da-yeon all along, Ha-eun belatedly realized that Da-yeon had probably planned the whole thing with the “eating children” hobby.
At that moment, Noeulis swallowed hard, encountering for the first time a professional acting tone from Da-yeon.
[So, here’s the question. The story of the wicked witch who eats children...]
The calm voice coming through the headset gradually slowed down.
Just after the final words became slightly blurry,
[Who do you think it originated from?]
Ha-eun, too, flinched at the sudden deep tone of the voice.
‘Damn, I fell for it.’
It was a line that made Ha-eun feel that way.
Unlike Ha-eun’s voice as Diah, Hida’s voice, which was Da-yeon’s, had a completely different impact.
The problem was, there were still more lines to go.
[There’s a cute kid who loves sweet things a lot.]
The voice didn’t seem like it was just talking to Noeulis; it felt like it was meant for Ha-eun as well.
The witch’s eerie voice continued.
[So, I’m waiting. For the day that kid comes to my candy house.]
“Well, if the kid comes...?”
[I’ll lock them up and eat them. From head to toe.]
[...!!]
The shivers rose in an instant, and Ha-eun briefly shook her head.
This was the first time Da-yeon had openly revealed her desires for Diah like this.
‘Why is she doing this to me...?’
Ha-eun was certain that everything she was hearing was Da-yeon’s acting.
She realized that the witch Hida had some truly sinister intentions, and the fear came automatically.
If they were friends, maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad, but at that moment, Hida, the witch, seemed dangerous.
Even though Hida hadn’t debuted as a VTuber yet, Ha-eun could already feel the fear from her presence.
Just after Hida left the chat with a “See you next time,” the avatar blind date ended, having caused more harm than good.
However, when Ha-eun later heard Ji Hye-min’s praise, she found out it had been a really fun conversation.
[Diah’s flustered reaction was recorded. This will be really fun to edit, right?]
With a satisfied voice, Ji Hye-min added that Noeulis had done a good job.
Ha-eun, in Diah’s voice tone, cautiously responded with, “It was nice to meet you.”
However, Noeulis, who still had something to say to Diah, stopped her.
“Hold on a second.”
Just as Diah was about to leave the chat room, Noeulis discreetly grabbed Diah's profile.
Ji Hye-min also stayed a little longer in the chat room, deciding to observe the conversation between the two.
Then came the familiar sound of a click.
Noeulis started sharing her screen on Discord, and both Ha-eun and Ji Hye-min began to realize what Noeulis was about to say.
Soon, a long-awaited post appeared on the screen.

───────────
“Ha-eun. The last line here, is it real? You’re not going to change your words now, are you—”
[This, verification! If you can’t prove you’re Noeulis, I won’t acknowledge it!]
As Noeulis tried to escape the chat room, citing a lack of proof that she was Noeulis,
Noeulis activated her computer camera, showing something very familiar on the Discord screen.
Ha-eun was left speechless.
[Why... is my keychain there...?]
“Why wouldn’t it be? Since I’m Noeulis, of course it’s there.”
Looking at the free pass, Noeulis said that and picked up Diah’s keychain with her hand, shaking it slightly.
Of course, the scene of Diah’s keychain shaking in Noeulis’ hand was shared on Discord.
Was that why?
[This is solid proof, Diah.]
[...I don’t know...]
Ji Hye-min, the head of Illusionary Realm, directly confirmed that Noeulis was indeed Noeulis.
Then came Ha-eun's groan.
Thus, Noeulis’ sudden coming out as Noeulis ended the call completely.
The room was instantly quiet.
However, Noeulis stayed sitting in front of the computer for quite a while afterward.
With a keen eye, she was watching the famous Japanese VTuber group Prism Live’s cooking show.
‘Ah~! Please do it, Jennifer!’
‘Mmm... Wow, this is delicious?!’
Just like the women on the screen, Noeulis also wanted to serve Diah the food she made in the future.
There was a bit of curiosity about Diah's red pill, which was worshipped as a god in the Illusionary Realm 1st generation, but more than that, she wanted to hear Diah’s voice admiring her cooking skills.
"...I wonder what kind of cotton candy would be good."
More than anything, she wanted to hear Diah’s voice praising her cooking. She was considering testing it with an enormous cotton candy, wondering if Diah, like her RP, truly liked cotton candy.
After a while, watching Prism Live's cooking videos again and again,
“Ji Hye, The Sunshine has started.”
“Oh, I’m coming now—!”
Only then did Noeulis get up from her seat, completely absorbed in the drama she had been following for the past few days.
She had to see what happened after Park Joo-ho aimed a gun at Kim Jung-hyun, who had been shot.
