Masina (Real Name: Kim Garam)
Masina is active as a VTuber with a loli physique under the name SerenadeKR, but in reality, she is a second-year student majoring in mathematics at K University. With her experiences of repeating a year and taking a leave of absence, she can be considered the strongest second-year student due to her older age.
Today is the long-awaited draft day for the Illusion League.
In just a few hours, the draft will begin, but Masina was just playing games.
She had a mandatory course in the morning but didn't attend. There was also a liberal arts class in the afternoon, but of course, she skipped that too.
After all, it had been confirmed long ago that she would get an F grade.
So, there was really no reason to attend...
‘...Right, let’s become the queen of VTubers.’
Advantages of being a VTuber: You can still do it even if you’re older.
If she were a female streamer, aging would be visible in real-time, but as a VTuber, she was the strongest and invincible in that regard. What does that mean? This is practically a lifelong job!
Having ruined her grades, Masina decided to bury herself in SerenadeKR.
Of course... the VTuber industry hasn’t even been around for a full decade yet. In other words, it’s uncertain whether the occupation of VTuber will even exist in 30 years...
She was indeed worried about her future, but what could she do? It looked like she wouldn’t graduate from university!
What if she wrote “VTuber” on her resume? Would the interviewers recognize it?
She imagined such scenarios, but no matter how she thought about it, it didn’t seem likely that being a VTuber would be recognized as a career... Doesn’t this job have a bleak future?
Therefore, it seemed better to reign as the queen of VTubers. If she could become the strongest VTuber in the universe and establish a kingdom of VTubers, collecting taxes from her citizens for a hundred years would alleviate her worries about old age.
The good news was that her subscriber growth had been quite decent lately.
However, the reason for this wasn’t because Masina was particularly skilled.
“Lumber is lacking. Move more wood.”
Laura spoke with an elegant voice.
“...Hey, Aurora. I won’t say the obvious anymore. You’re my senior, yet you make me work too hard. Am I your porter or something? I won’t say those things anymore.”
“You’re saying it now.”
“But seriously, isn’t the wood heavy!? Isn’t it too much to make me move all of this alone!?”
Masina shouted.
“It can’t be helped. There’s no one else logged into the server right now.”
“Move it together! Don’t you have hands!? Huh?”
“Seriously, my porter is so high maintenance.”
“Hey! What did you just say! Hey!!!”
Masina burst out in anger, but Laura merely chuckled as she passed by her.
Masina was truly furious, but while she was playing Asesal with Laura, she realized something. It was pointless to get angry.
Aurora was a stubborn person, and no matter what she said, it wouldn’t make a difference.
The viewers seemed to enjoy it.
Ever since she started hanging out with Aurora, her subscriber count had oddly increased, and for some reason, there were more fans shipping them as a couple.
‘Why are they pairing me with Aurora!’
Masina disliked Laura.
After all, she had interrupted her promotion battle five times and had decapitated her twice. Laura had never treated her like a senior.
She was truly Masina's nightmare.
However, Masina’s fans, known as the ‘Sina-ju Fam,’ thrived just by watching her suffer. Damn it...
‘Why is Senior Narim paying attention to someone like her...?’
Yet, she couldn’t avoid collaborating with Laura, especially since Son Narim had made the request.
For some reason, Narim seemed to want to protect Laura.
Why a company would want to protect another VTuber was unclear. However, Narim was quite close to Rinco, so perhaps she had some feelings for Laura, who was Rinco’s successor.
In any case, Narim had asked Masina for help.
Masina also had a strange sense of guilt regarding the previous ‘Vaccine Incident.’
Maybe that’s why.
From early this morning, she found herself playing games with Laura.
“Looks like we might need more wood. Hand me an axe.”
Laura casually reached out her hand.
...Does she really see me as a porter?
Just as she was about to say something, Masina silently handed over the axe. It was obvious that refusing would only lead to more axe work for her.
After receiving the axe, Laura immediately sunk it into the wood.
It was a neat and impressive stance.
It was clear that it wasn’t just brute force. She extended it at the correct angle to slice through and adjusted her position meticulously.
She had excellent chopping skills like a lumberjack.
“...What a noblewoman.”
Laura effortlessly took down a tree, and then, taking advantage of the momentum, she trimmed the branches right there.
Even after knocking down several trees, Laura showed no signs of exhaustion.
Afterward, Laura began moving the wood with Masina. With the gathered wood, Laura started building a new house.
“Wow...”
Masina let out a gasp without realizing it. ...Where did she learn to do that?
To be precise, it couldn’t be called a ‘house.’ It would be more accurate to describe it as a narrow shelter.
It felt like building a nest large enough for a person between the trees.
A wooden floor had already been installed up high among the branches. It was amazing how she managed to create such a structure using just ropes and ties.
With the wood on her back, Laura climbed the tree lightly, completing the walls.
It seemed like it would take some time, but it felt like by the end of the day, an ‘aerial shelter’ would be completed.
“Sina, you applied for the draft too, right?”
Perhaps finding the construction a bit boring, Laura struck up a conversation.
“I did apply.”
“Then there’s a chance we’ll be on the same team.”
“What!? I don’t want that! If we’re on the same team, you’ll just make me do all the work again!”
“But if we’re on different teams, I’ll cut you down, won’t I?”
“Hmm...”
Masina couldn’t deny that.
She had learned from experience. She had died at Laura’s hands more than once.
“...W-Wait and see. Next time, I’ll definitely kill you! I’ll take my revenge!”
“It sounds like your voice is shaking. Rather than that, hand me some wood.”
“Uh, okay.”
Masina grunted a bit as she passed the wood to Laura, who was up in the tree.
“I’m planning to watch the draft broadcast with Anna. Are you going to watch the draft live today?”
“I’m not planning to... Honestly, I’m not confident...”
“Really? Then you might not get to see it anymore.”
“Hmm?”
In that moment, Masina blinked, not understanding what Laura meant.
‘Ah, I see.’
It seemed she had no intention of entering the Revenge Server anymore.
Aurora was quick-witted.
She must have noticed how Masina had partnered with her and entered the Revenge Server.
She had made up with Jeongseok after all.
The relationship with SerenadeKR had also improved significantly.
So, there was almost no reason for EYEAI fans to insult SerenadeKR or vice versa anymore.
Instead, both fanbases were in a frenzy because they couldn’t ship Laura and Masina... While browsing through some ego-searching, Masina even stumbled upon lewd yuri art pairing the two. It felt insane.
With the relationship having improved to that extent.
One could say this collaboration had fulfilled its purpose.
“It’s done.”
Laura had somehow come down from the tree.
Looking up at the tree, a small hut had been built in mid-air.
When Laura pressed a button on the remote, an automatic ladder came down from the entrance.
“Catch it.”
Laura tossed the remote to Masina.
“Take care of the remote. There’s a gun and a vaccine inside, so feel free to use them.”
“...Are you telling me to escape there if something happens?”
“You understood well. The more shelters, the better, right?”
She said that.
Masina had wondered why she was being summoned since this morning on draft day.
“Hey, Aurora. Come play again.”
Masina found herself saying that without realizing it.
“Hmm?”
“...You’re absurdly strong. I’m going to form a raid later and go on an expedition to North Korea, so you should come then.”
Feeling as if this would be the last time, she quickly said that.
Laura smiled brightly and replied,
“Then practice driving until then.”
...This girl really gets on my nerves.
Having wrapped up what might be her last ‘Asesal Revenge Server’ with Masina,
After taking a short break, she turned on the stream.
【#IllusionLeague2024】 Draft Live Viewing 【Aurora/Shiroki Anna/Tanabe Ainatsu】
