The Guy Next Door to the Heroine

16 – I have no intention of scolding you (true)

I had no intention of scolding you.

Well, if Han Soo-jin opens up a sponsorship, ‘I paid the money, but why is the service so bad!’ Would you have forgotten the warning that it would turn into the same truth and just opened up a donation under the pressure of the atmosphere?

Otherwise, I ignored the words that all kinds of assholes would follow me if I did something that would make me feel romantic feelings, and just kept talking.

Otherwise, there is no way they would have taken out 1.7 Billion won from the first day because they could not receive support, right?

And all of this didn’t even happen in 6 months. Oh no way.

“Right?”

“Ugh…”

It’s broken. If you look closely at Sujin Han, she is so mentally weak that you wonder how she ever worked as a magical girl.

A bit like the ‘woman who listens when you push her’ from Hitomi. That’s why it’s so f*cking weak.

She shouldn’t have been like this to begin with, but even so, she was too weak… She wasn’t even a newborn alpaca.

For reference, a newborn alpaca will break if you touch it. She looks like a horse made of wooden chopsticks. Literally, without exaggeration.

“Don’t be so nervous. I don’t plan on scolding you.”

It may seem like I’ve already been scolded enough, but that’s not the case. I was just teasing him, and I had no intention of scolding him.

“This is what happened because I was away for half a year without contacting you in the first place. Well, I didn’t keep my word at all. I didn’t do anything good either.”

This happened because I neglected it, so why am I going to give a damn about what I did well?

Moreover, if you look at the results from a broadcasting perspective, the number of regular viewers is 130,000. In previous broadcasts, it was a figure that could not be found even if one died immediately.

Well, although the total population is 10 billion. If it’s 130,000… I’m done.

“Spirit guidance…?”

“Why are you scolding me?”

“I didn’t listen…?”

“You said I didn’t do anything good either?”

“But…”

“But, it was just hard work. I worked hard alone.”

He succeeded in soothing Han Su-jin, who was crying, by saying that she had a hard time.

The future is certain that you will cry loudly after I leave, but for the sake of our mental sunfish, it is better to pretend not to know.

Ah, it was a newborn alpaca… A sunfish or an alpaca.

“You too, come here.”

Jeong So-yul, who was absent-mindedly and unnaturally turning her head, points to herself with her finger.

Screen, tremble.

“Yes, you come too.”

Dodo dodo, Jeong So-yul approaches with full strides.

“This wasn’t the picture I drew, but was it still good because I was with him?”

Boom! Humming! Jeong So-yul nods her head so loudly that it can be heard.

“I took care of the awakening penalty. Don’t worry, I texted you at least the last time.”

“…!”

Jeong So-yul hands Su-jin Han her cell phone while placing an exclamation point above her head.

Did he play with mine while he had the phone? Oh, I gave it to him.

They just treated it too childishly. But these days, even 3-year-old babies have phones… I don’t know if it’s true or not.

“I was sorry I went diving.”

“Ugh…!”

“If you want to contact me, you can do so at any time.”

“Yes!”

The reason I suddenly brought Jeong So-yul here was simply to kill her tendency to avoid people.

Because it takes too, too long to heal on its own. Sometimes it was necessary to force them out.

If you ask me why I did that… Because I wanted to.

“Let’s go back.”

“… Thank you…”

I was speechless.

Driving back. Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

“Would you like to try broadcasting too?”

“…?”

“Well, if you’re worried about being a succubus, you can just become a vertuber. Honestly, it was fun.”

I didn’t think Jeong So-yul would accept it. If it’s going to be so easily accepted and easily solved, why would there be a specialized field called psychiatry?

In addition, the drugs prescribed by psychiatrists were generally extreme drugs.

Antipsychotic potion is a drug that suppresses hormone secretion and induces sleep while gradually wearing away one’s identity as a person. Because it was that kind of medicine.

And people with mental illness had a harder time without such drugs. Depression, panic disorder, auditory hallucinations, hallucinations, schizophrenia.

“You are not that good.”

“…?”

Of course, I am not saying that this was such an extreme situation. It’s just that they want to stay locked in their room, suffering from social aversion, depression, and low self-esteem.

If this was really serious, would it be this scary? Unfortunately, I was far from an illusion.

That’s why I’m calling you for the first time in half a year. Who are you calling?

There is a guy I brought in before. There was a stupid guy who was a high school student but was being ripped off by middle school students.

“Ah, it’s been a while.”

-“Yes, it’s been a while, brother.”

“How many times did I tell you to stop yelling at me?”

-“Once a brother, always a brother.”

The sound coming from the phone was not quiet, so Jeong So-yul, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her, flinched.

Although her voice is a little husky, it wouldn’t be so repulsive because she’s a woman, right? Well, I might have some bad memories.

“It’s because he grew up seeing something wrong. Still, he’s a good kid…”

Probably.

I must have been watching a movie with gangsters or yakuza somewhere. I want to believe so.

-“Brother, who did you harvest again this time?”

“It’s just the kid next door. Oh, please send me two suitable computers for the apartment. I’ll use them for broadcasting. Take care of the specs. One of them is something a vertuber can use.”

-“Yes. By the way, do you also broadcast? But when you say you are a vertuber…”

“It just happened to be like that. If I need a manager later, I’ll call you.”

-“Yes, have a nice day.”

Pop.

“Hana, she’s nice, but she’s not friendly.”

As a woman, every time I say something, I say “Brother” Or “Brother.” Also, if you wear a suit tailored for men, your face will be covered.

“I…”

“Uh, why?”

Since I’m driving, I can’t make eye contact.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“Why do you think I’m going to ask you to pay it back later?”

Jeong So-yul was silent and motionless. The nervous ticket was still paid.

“How old are you?”

“…S, twenty-one years old…”

“At 21, you’re still a kid. Of course, you probably didn’t go to college. Well, judging by your condition, you probably didn’t even go to high school.”

“…”

“It doesn’t mean anything.”

‘Repay with your beautiful appearance!’ Of course it’s not like this. ‘I’ll get it back a hundredfold later!’ It’s not even the same thing.

“I’m just living the way I want. It wouldn’t be surprising if I went crazy one day and massacred an entire city, and you wouldn’t be surprised if I caught a woman on the street and kidnapped her.”

Although all of the examples explained are crazy. It was just something like this.

“But don’t be scared. Even if I fall into hell, I won’t go crazy.”

Mental protection was the thing I was most concerned about after awakening. What will happen if I make up my mind and go crazy? Because I didn’t want to even imagine it.

And I went crazy, what can I say? It’s not me, right?

“I came all this way because I was so crazy, but why is this idiot pushing me and causing accidents? I can’t stand that.”

“…Foot.”

It may be said that it kills people in their own way, but the sound of a person laughing is not that easily killed.

“Did you laugh? Did you laugh?”

“Hyung…”

Why is he so scared?

“Keep smiling from now on.”

“…Yes.”

That’s how I arrived at the apartment. Let Jeong So-yul rise up on her own.

“Ah, Siwon. Did you go?”

“Yes, well. There won’t be any more strange noises from upstairs, so don’t worry.”

“Ah, thank you… Really. Is it okay if I cook dinner tonight?”

“Will you do it?”

“If you can. My former co-worker sent me some Korean beef as a gift.”

“Korean beef is good. Shall I grill it?”

“That’s good, but since it’s rib meat, I’m going to try seasoned ribs.”

“Seasoned ribs are good. I can’t eat them because I don’t have any.”

I’m not lying, I really like ribs among meats. I also like seasoned ribs the most. Of course, cows are better than pigs.

Pork ribs are of course delicious, but they still can’t beat beef.

“But that girl from earlier is the girl from the house above…?”

“That’s right. Well, I guess it’s just one or two stories about Cheongjun being destroyed for making a mistake in awakening.”

“Oh my god, she was such a poor girl… I wonder if she likes seasoned ribs.”

“I agree, but I think Cheong will be dissatisfied.”

There’s not enough meat to eat! It’s obvious that he’s sulking while thinking that.

“Is there enough meat?”

“Of course. Siwon, it will be enough for five people to eat.”

I don’t tend to eat that much… Well, that’s what metaphors are all about.

“Then I’ll call you.”

“Can I ask you a favor?”

No matter how much you are a hikikomori, you can’t stand beef.

Men in suits gathered together one by one with solemn expressions, and at the head of the table was a woman wearing a men’s suit that did not suit her.

Of course, I didn’t mean that it was strange for a woman to wear it. A small physique that doesn’t match the suit, and a cute face that doesn’t match the serious expression.

However, the men in suits were just waiting solemnly for those who did not come, perhaps because they were used to it.

“I received a call from my brother today.”

“Finally, my brother…!”

“They asked me to set up two broadcasting equipment. All I have to do is set it to the highest specifications available. There are other problems.”

“Yes…?”

“Does anyone know what a Vertuber is? It seems like a similar entity to MeTuber.”

In the atmosphere that had cooled down as if cold water had been poured on them, someone was shaking their head with a questioning expression, so someone mustered up the courage to open their mouth.

“Well, it’s called Virtuba. Let’s call it Virtual YouTube…”

An untimely vertuber craze began to spread in a firm, solemn, and serious company meeting.
