118. Clip
Closer’s voice code group chat grew more and more chatty as the days passed.
[Sisters! I’ll take this!]
Mooringi created Grip Talk with his own character.
We rushed over and made a fuss about how cute it was.
[Wow! Where did you do this? Should I do one too?]
[But how much does this cost? How about making one? I think it would be nice to hold an event for fans later.]
[Wouldn’t there be Grip Talk when the official goods come out?]
I join the group and type on the keyboard.
[But since you said you will be opening a goods shop soon, will you show it to us first?]
Whenever we were talking about something like this, I felt like I was back in high school and it was fun.
When I went to girls’ high school, the atmosphere was exactly like this.
Of course, there were groups who made a fuss and played noisily, but I was not one of those groups.
In the beginning, I was just a quiet otaku.
Rather than always being at the front, he is one step behind and quietly watching something.
That was me.
Of course, that didn’t mean I didn’t have any friends.
Quiet kids have a community of quiet kids, and I thought I had a satisfying time within it.
Until last year, I was eating and chatting with high school kids.
After I started broadcasting, the more time I spent at home, the less contact I had to make.
Even after I passed Clojure, I had so much work to do that I had a hard time managing my current acquaintances.
I don’t have time to see my brother right now, so when will I see my classmates?
-Tiding!
When the manager made a chat asking us to join Voice, we all participated in the meeting as scheduled.
[Hello~ How are you all?]
A soft tone of voice comes through the earphones.
[Ah. Of course~]
[Happy New Year~ Sister~]
[Yes~ Hello~]
Usually meetings are held about once a week or in cases where there is a special notice, but in this case it is the latter.
And today’s agenda was enough to make all of our hearts pound.
[The official announcement regarding the members’ solo concert schedule has been released, so I would like to give some explanation about it.]
As usual, we would have made a lot of noise, but we were so curious about what would come next that we didn’t give any answer.
[First of all, our contract runs until December next year, right? There are five members in total.]
[It is now January, so a member’s solo concert will be held approximately once every two months.]
[Order! Are you curious?]
No. Why are you expecting this from us!!
The other members seemed to have the same thoughts as me and jeered at her older sister.
[Woo~ Just tell me~]
[That’s right! Just be cool and do it all at once!]
I talked to my manager quite a lot, so I often laughed and joked around like this.
[I understand~ I understand~ Please don’t be so harsh, but I will first inform you of those who are currently confirmed!]
Who will do it first?
I think the first runner will probably be held around March, closer to spring.
If we think about it in terms of seasons, it’s spring… Spring…
Refreshing youngest member Mooringi?
Or is it the warm Clover sister?
Winter seemed to suit Leah best, and Jennifer also seemed to suit summer well, as she had a very sparkly look.
[First of all, Luca!]
[Huh?]
When my name was called out of nowhere, a dumb sound came out.
Me? Why? Why am I the number one fan?
[Wow! Congratulations! Lucataaang~]
[Hey~~ As expected, he’s really popular these days, so Luca is number one?]
[Tell me honestly, sister. She let her sister go and cum. Please do it first.]
As the envious jokes continued, I asked again, wondering if it was a hidden camera.
[Am I really number 1?]
From noble mtl dot com
[Yes! This is a conclusion that our Metaverse team came to after much careful consideration!]
What on earth was being said inside the meeting?
I couldn’t quite understand it, but I didn’t hate it.
A pleasant pounding feeling.
There have been a few times where we’ve held events together and done something strange, but this was the first time we’ve had a solo event just for me.
Half worried. Half expected.
[Well… Then who is next?]
He kept talking about me without me, so I felt embarrassed and asked.
[If Mr. Luca successfully holds a concert in March without delay, Mr. Mouring will then hold a concert in May. Jennifer is scheduled for July.]
[May is so nice, isn’t it?]
Mooringi seemed happy that his name was called and made a pterodactyl sound.
Jennifer also seemed to like her turn, as her voice showed a satisfaction that could not be hidden.
[Well… Then what about us?]
Two people whose names have not been called yet.
Leah and Clover.
Clover asked timidly in a very sly tone.
[Both of you will do it in the second half of the year, but the order has not been confirmed yet.]
[But the public opinion is to plant clover seeds in the fall and rhea seeds in the winter.]
[Winter…]
Leah must have been aware that she was far away on her own, and her voice sounded dejected.
[Of course, there are good things about doing it late! After more regular albums are released, the number of fans will increase, and song options will increase when collaborating!]
Ah… I guess so…
How many of our albums will be released by winter?…
Let’s think about it.
[…Then what about me?]
Do I have no options as a #1 fan?
* * *
What is news that I would like?
Judging by the playful voice that told me when I got home, it definitely seemed like there was something going on.
When I stretched out my index finger and pressed the bell, cute footsteps were heard from inside.
“Come in.”
“Yes.”
As I took off her shoes and entered, Doa looked at me with a very happy expression.
“Guess what it is.”
“What is it?”
“Ah. Guess what. “Because it’s not fun to just say it.”
I quietly crossed my arms and shook my head and came up with my own answer.
“First of all, it’s related to Luca, right?”
“Ding dong deng! So what is Luca?”
“Are there any new avatars coming out?”
It’s been so long since the Hanbok edition was released that a new one is coming out!
“No? “It’s a little bigger than that.”
“Um… External program?”
It’s definitely not a public broadcast debut or anything like that, right?
The name Luca-tan that appears on public broadcasting…?
It felt happy, but also a bit dizzy.
“No. “There is no news about that yet.”
Doa stuck out her tongue as if she was embarrassed and grabbed my hand tightly.
“Oppa… You know… I…”
Brightly shining eyes.
“It’s a solo concert!!!”
Ah… A solo concert…
I was genuinely surprised and wanted to be happy, but surprisingly, I already knew this, so I smiled brightly a beat later.
“Wow! Congratulations! “Are you the only one doing it?”
“Oh no! “Everyone is doing it, but I think I’ll be the first!”
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
Just because I knew it didn’t mean I couldn’t have expectations.
On the contrary, I was so excited and hoped to do well that I even signed a contract.
“That’s why. “I heard that I’ll be performing by myself for almost an hour… Wow… It’s great, but I’m so nervous.”
Doa, who was sitting on my lap, was like a baby bird and told me every detail of what happened today.
Leah was disappointed that it was the last order.
Closer’s 2nd album will be released around April.
Doah smiled very prettily as she gave us a lot of information that only those involved could know, like a pot of honey.
“Ah… Can I… Do well?”
“There’s a lot of time left. “If you prepare well, step by step, you will do very well.”
And to put it bluntly, even if Luca made a mistake during her concert, everyone in the group would find it cute.
It would be great if she sang well, but the reason we were crazy about her was not because she sang the best.
Just a character named Luca.
I fell in love with the charm of a person named Kim Do-ah.
“Ah. Right. “I have something to show you, too.”
I had forgotten about Doa’s boasting about the good news, but I also had updates.
“What is it?”
“Wait.”
In fact, it could have been nothing compared to the news from Doa.
It may have seemed shabby compared to holding a concert with tens of thousands of people for about two hours.
Video sent by my manager.
My appearance lasted less than 10 seconds.
“Oh? What is it? “Did you film this back then?”
“Yes. But it’s very short.”
Although I was embarrassed, I thought it would be a good idea to show Doa, so I tapped the screen and played the video.
I am trudging down the alley.
My face captured on the recording camera felt very foreign.
It may have been because of the makeup, but I felt strongly that it wasn’t me.
I stopped walking and stared at the camera with haughty eyes.
[Otaku bastards need to make fun of themselves.]
“…Puhup.”
At the same time, laughter bursts out of Doa’s mouth.
No. It’s more embarrassing because you’re laughing.
It felt like my ears were getting hot.
“No. “Did you also act as an older brother?”
“What kind of acting is this?”
“I heard I just didn’t do much that day! “Show me again!”
After watching the short video several times, Doa rubbed her fingers as if caressing my face on her screen.
“Handsome is said to be really handsome. “My brother.”
I thought I had become indifferent to compliments about my appearance.
Why do I feel so good about Doa’s words?
I tried hard to control the twitching corner of my mouth as I couldn’t hide my expression and confiscated my phone again.
“Ah. Stop looking. “It’s embarrassing.”
“What did you do when you saw the video of Luca, who you’ll also meet?”
They say that is not Doa.
Anyway, it is whatever is convenient for you.
“But brother.”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay for a piece of sh*t like your brother to say something like this?”
…I guess I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
She shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know and I patted Doa’s head.
Until this time, I never imagined that I would be caught up in the ‘career career’ theory.
