Chapter 51 - An Ordinary Day
It’s hot.
And I’m out of breath.
Today is the second Saturday of August.
The time when people plan their summer vacations and set off for exciting trips to mountains and seas.
But I was now running like crazy on a treadmill.
“Huff huff!”
“Don’t overdo it at once. To see effects from aerobic exercise, you need to run for at least 30 minutes without stopping, so think long-term. And why aren’t you taking off your mask when you’re trying to die like that?”
“Director Nam!”
I heard from the helper.
When manifesting abilities like changing faces, I need to manipulate the memories of those who already know my face, just like with gender.
So the more targets there are, the more of the Goddess’s power is consumed, and additional points might be needed.
After hearing that, how could I just stay still?
There are other people in the gym, so I’ll cover up completely no matter what.
‘Besides, people aren’t just there.’
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become a woman that I feel more sensitive.
The gazes of the surrounding men towards me feel stinging as if piercing.
‘No, it’s not even tight-fitting, but such a loose outfit, why are they looking like this!’
I came to Myunghoon’s gym without any special preparation when I heard there were basic workout clothes provided.
I thoughtlessly put on clothes similar in design to those provided at saunas and started exercising, but at some point, I started attracting the gazes of men exercising around.
[It seems to have nothing to do with the workout clothes.]
The mid-line showing its presence even in loose workout clothes.
And the luxury hip line reminiscent of a model and the sensual waist line couldn’t help but attract attention.
Especially for gym-goers who are very interested in physique…
“I’ll go fill up some stuff for a moment.”
“Haa… O-Okay.”
While I was panting after escaping from the deadly treadmill, Myunghoon left his seat for a moment.
As I’m resting against the wall due to dizziness, a shadow falls over my head.
“…?”
“Ah, hello there. You seem to be new here.”
When I looked up, there was a 20-something man with a neat impression and a pretty good body in front of me.
“Yes. I came for the first time today.”
An ordinary woman might be shy or cut the conversation short, but since I was used to being a man, I could respond to the conversation without much aversion.
Then the man, whose face brightened strangely, started talking about various things.
“… The machines are really good for the lower body. Would you like me to check your form?”
As we chat for a while, the gazes around become even more stinging.
When I slightly turn my gaze to scan the surroundings, I could see several men hurriedly turning their heads to avoid meeting my eyes.
Haah, what pitiful creatures.
I’m actually a man, you who are drooling and staring at me now.
Well, if I revealed that truth, I’d be treated as a mentally ill person right away, so I gave up and decided to cut off the man in front of me.
“Thank you for the offer, but I’m learning directly from the trainer here. I’m just taking a short break now, so I’m here separately.”
“Ah… I see. Alright. Then let’s say hello next time we meet.”
Thinking that if he spoke more it would seem clingy, the man retreats cleanly.
At that moment, Myunghoon appears again with perfect timing after filling up the items.
Then other men around lick their lips in disappointment.
No, am I food for them to lick their lips?
Anyway, the hellish exercise time resumed.
I decided to go exercise on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, these 3 days.
I could have gone harder, but I wanted to avoid too drastic a lifestyle change, and I had the big goal of reaching 100,000 subscribers, so I felt a bit reluctant to invest more time than that.
Anyway, the first exercise I did after becoming a woman was not only hard but also quite strange.
No, actually it wasn’t because of the exercise, but the gazes of the surrounding men and the attention they sent me was the problem.
“……”
[Are you conscious of it? That you’re a woman now?]
“No, I…”
I was at a loss for words.
Yes, it’s exactly as the helper said.
I was originally a man.
But now I’m a woman.
So I consciously try not to think about related thoughts as much as possible.
Except for when going to the bathroom, the heavy weight felt around the chest area, and the presence of hair tickling my cheeks or shoulders, that attempt was quite successful.
But the feeling I received today was so intense that it was hard to erase easily.
The favorable gazes received from multiple men… Of course, there would be quite lewd and sexual intentions underneath, but anyway, it clearly made me recognize my current situation.
I have become a woman.
This was quite a strange feeling.
In the past, I would have vaguely disliked it and even felt disgusted if it was severe.
But now it’s a little different.
The favor of men, and the jealous gazes of women make me feel superior.
Along with rising self-esteem.
That makes me somewhat accept myself as a woman.
“Damn… Ah, I don’t know!”
I hate getting a headache from complicated thoughts after coming back from hard exercise.
Shaking my head side to side, I sat in front of the computer.
I should start preparing for the broadcast soon.
What should I do today?
On such a messy day, simple is the best.
Yes, League of Legends.
Let’s have a go after a long time.
“Is this me? I might be stronger than I thought…”
-Ugh! That confident delivery of such a cheesy line, I like it even more…
-ㅋ Damn, I don’t like seeing the host carry. I want to see her whining after getting completely stomped.
-I felt it during the Blame Others Tournament, but Hani’s skill seems to be above this tier. Look at today’s plays, they’re clearly different.
At 5 PM, I turned on the broadcast and played League of Legends after a long time.
The power of ‘Guillotine Match 4’ that I acquired for the Blame Others Tournament was still with me.
A powerful weapon that allows me to demonstrate Master tier or higher ability in 1v1 situations!
My current tier is Diamond 3, a level where no one can stop me unless it’s a smurf account.
I pick a strong carnivorous jungle champion from the start and mindlessly counter-jungle.
Then I kill the enemy jungler to grow and keep counter-jungling.
Unlike team games, in solo rank, the lower the tier, the poorer the communication with teammates.
The enemy jungler, who keeps getting counter-jungled due to the laners’ late backup, loses their mental completely.
And then comes the chat rush.
Internal strife breaks out in the enemy team, and the game easily comes to our side.
After winning 4 games in a row like that, about 2 hours of broadcast time had passed, and viewers were clamoring that it was boring.
It’s a shame to stop while on such a winning streak, but following public opinion is a BJ’s fate.
I close the League of Legends client and ask the viewers what they want.
-Of course, cam broadcast go go. Do a full cam without the mask soon.
-When are you doing the penalty broadcast? Last time you gave a month’s grace period for the Blame Others Tournament preparation, but there’s no particularly important schedule this time, right? Let’s do it quickly.
-Hani doesn’t do joint broadcasts enough. I want to see her playing with other BJs sometimes.
-Our Neighborhood Singing King is holding a competition at 8 PM today, let’s go participate. They say both viewers and BJs can participate. First prize is 300,000 won!
-It’s getting to be midsummer and the weather is hot, does Hani have any plans for a pool villa bikini cam broadcast? If you say you’ll do it, the chairman will probably give big sponsorship ㅋ
-True words above, upvote!
-Wagyu is enlisting at the end of this month, are you really going to visit?
“There are a lot of opinions. First, for the penalty broadcast… I’ll do it within 2 weeks. It’s a bit difficult to set a definite date yet.”
I decided to address the viewers’ questions and curiosities one by one.
“As for the mask… September 9th is Mia’s birthday, right? We’re going to have a real-life joint broadcast with several BJs then, and I’ll probably take it off at that time.”
-Take it off? ㅓㅜㅑ!
-Hani is too bold, saying she’ll take it off at a real-life joint broadcast ㄷㄷ;;
“Behave yourselves. Next time it’s a kick-out.”
I suppress the viewers talking nonsense and organize the stories one by one.
Regarding joint broadcasts, it’s still difficult to proceed because I don’t have many BJ acquaintances.
For the singing competition, I just found out about it so it’s a bit awkward to participate without preparation, I’ll aim for the next opportunity.
I’ll think about the pool villa bikini cam broadcast.
As for visiting Wagyu… I said I’d go if he carried, but did Wagyu carry?
-What carry ㅋ He rode the bus hard.
-For real, what carry for a Gold? Just laugh
Anyway, he’ll enlist at the end of August, and after going through basic training and unit assignment, it’ll be early October.
At first, family and closer people will visit.
So, around November, if there’s time left, it might be worth considering a visit.
That could be considered a fresh content too.
-Wagyu ㅋ Just reduced to broadcast material.
-Still, if Hani comes to visit, that’s something. If it were me, I’d bow deeply right away.
-For real, if a goddess like Hani comes to visit, I should wait bowing from the guard post.
“Hey, you’re exaggerating too much. What goddess am I?”
-With that body and that face, you’re celebrity level, look at her playing dumb ㅋ
-We don’t know the face yet because of the mask, right? Don’t get ahead of yourself ㄷㄷ;;
-Ah, these single guys really. Can’t you tell at a glance? Look at that body and those eyes. Just looking at them makes you want to go crazy with love, and you still don’t know?
I stop the viewers bickering among themselves by impersonating the seductive voice of a cartoon character.
Then once again comes a flood of ‘ㅓㅜㅑ’ spam.
That’s when it happened.
The Discord chat window flashes after a long time.
Of course, it wasn’t Mia or Yerin who I contact every day.
It was Clmumu, who I exchanged contacts with during the Miracle joint broadcast and only occasionally asked how I was doing since then.
A proposal for a joint broadcast came from him.
