[TS] Starting the Broadcast

The gist of the content Clmumu prepared today is this:
First, a week ago, as soon as I expressed my acceptance, he held a selection contest among viewers on his own.
The name is the glorious ‘Selection Contest for a Heart-Fluttering Date with Hani’.
No, I don’t know who gave permission to use such a name… Anyway, after fierce judging, three people were selected.
Of course, they were all people who had VR devices and definitely had time available on the day of the content.
The content to be conducted with those selected was ‘A Heart-Fluttering Date with Hani’.
Really, the sense of naming… Well, since the response is good, I have nothing to say, but anyway, I just need to go along with the date courses prepared by those three people and make a final selection of the course I liked the most.
There was a rough script up to the opening, but since I had no information about the date courses prepared by the three people, I was quite curious too.
At that time, Clmumu told me to choose who I wanted to date first with a relaxed gesture.
He said the order doesn’t matter, just choose who I’m drawn to.
I glanced at the viewers’ reactions.

-Leo die! Leo die! Leo die!
-Our hope Healthman! Crush the atmosphere from the start and ruin today’s content!
-Lord! I’ll kill Leo and go to hell. Don’t stop me.

Looking at the viewers’ reactions, I get a rough sense of who I should pick first.
I act like I’m pondering for a moment, then gesture for Clmumu to come closer.
“Hahaha, Hani-nim is being shy. Please wait a moment.”
Clmumu’s avatar brings his ear close to my avatar.
“I guess I should pick Leo as the first batter to make the chat burn up, right?”
“As expected, you have good intuition.”
“Then let’s do that.”
“Okey-dokey.”

After ending the conversation, I pretend not to know and look the other way.
Clmumu points at the three people, testing the waters, and finally points at Leo.
“Lady, I’ll escort you on a perfect course today.”
“Oh my!”

-Leo die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Hani don’t go! Hani don’t go! Hani don’t go!
-Noona are you abandoning me? Noona are you abandoning me? Noona are you abandoning me?
-I think I’ll go out for lunch! I think I’ll go out for lunch! I think I’ll go out for lunch!

As expected, the chat’s reaction was no less than a volcanic eruption.
Along with water balloons bursting in real-time.
We agreed to split this after the broadcast ends.
Anyway, with a pleased smile, Clmumu takes the other two and steps back for a moment.
Then Leo manipulates the program to open a portal moving to a new space.
“Shall we go, lady?”
“Yes.”

Trying to act demure made me feel like I was breaking out in hives all over, but what could I do?
I’m a pro BJ!
Today too, I do my best to gather points.
“Is a movie okay?”
Passing through Leo’s portal, what I see is a movie theater.
We enter the building and try to choose a movie.
There are 3 choices in total.
The titles aren’t shown, and there’s a sign saying to choose among action, romance, or horror.
And when I peek inside the ticket booth, Clmumu’s avatar is sitting there with a grinning expression.
He even changed into a movie theater staff uniform.
“……”
Clmumu really lives busily.
Anyway, Leo gives me the choice, and while I’m pondering what to watch, Clmumu quietly recommends action.
So I receive the ticket and check it, and the content is really something.
[Clmumu’s League of Legends Mad Movie]
“… No, this is a bit…”
“Then I’ll change it to romance, customer.”
[Clmumu’s Date Record -Ganghwa Island Edition-]
“Pass.”
“You’re picky. This is the last one.”
[Clmumu’s Halloween Cosplay Broadcast]
“I’ll just go with the first one.”
“An excellent choice.”

Receiving two tickets and about to enter the theater, despite being an avatar, somehow my hand felt empty.
Then Leo points in one direction.
Ah! That’s right. Of course, popcorn and drinks are essential before entering the theater.
Hurrying in that direction, another familiar face greets me.
“Shall I give you the couple honey combo?”
“Add one honey butter squid too.”
Receiving the snacks, we entered the theater.
Since there are no other customers besides me and Leo, we decided to sit in the center of the front row.
A large screen.
After waiting a moment, it soon brightens up and starts broadcasting advertisements.
But real products that Clmumu sponsors and advertises actually appeared on the screen.
I feel the weight of being the head of household for two children in his early 30s.
“Shall we eat together?”
Leo puts the popcorn in the center of the armrest and lowers his head towards the drink’s straw.
Seeing that, I let out a small sigh.
This mister said it was a couple combo, but the menu is a bit strange.
There’s only one drink, and two straws are stuck in it.
“Sure, whatever.”
But this isn’t real, it’s just an avatar.
I calmly lower my head and drink the beverage together.
Of course, the chat burns up.

-Now collecting funds to assassinate Leo. It will close soon, so hurry and participate.
-Leo die! Leo die! Leo die!
-I’d rather be reborn as that straw. This is too desperate.
-Kill the self-interested bug!

After roughly drinking the beverage and raising my head, the movie starts.
No, it wasn’t a movie but really Clmumu’s League of Legends mad movie video.
I let out a hollow laugh.
Yeah, let’s just watch roughly while eating popcorn.
With that feeling, I reach for the popcorn, and once again the chat explodes.

-Cut off that hand! Cut off that hand! Cut off that hand!
-I sentence the heinous criminal Leo to quadruple amputation. Bang bang!
-How dare that guy try to hold hands!?

Was it intentional?
I glance slightly towards Leo, and his avatar produces a grinning expression.
Oh! Is he quite experienced?
Clmumu’s mad movie ended quickly.
We dispose of the finished popcorn and drinks in the trash and exit the theater.
Leo creates a new portal.
Passing through it, this time it was a restaurant with nice, soft classical music playing.
“I’ll take your order.”
“……”
This time too, the employee was Clmumu.
Leo pulls out the chair for me before I sit down.
In past relationships, it was my role to do that, but experiencing it directly like this felt quite fresh.
I order the basic course and exchange various conversations with Leo while waiting for the food to arrive.
He’s 27 years old, lives in Seoul, and is a company employee.
It’s almost identical to my specs before I became a woman.
The food arrived.
I can’t taste it, but looking at the beautiful sunset light visible through the restaurant window along with the soft singing voice was enough.
After finishing the meal and saying it was nice today, Leo approaches, kneels on one knee, and kisses the back of my hand.
For a moment I almost kicked out reflexively from getting goosebumps, but I endured it.
He must have planned and practiced for today, putting in effort.
I smiled slightly in appreciation for his hard work.

-Noona!!!! Quickly disinfect the back of your hand!
-Leo die! Leo die! Leo die!
-The time of Earth’s destruction has come. Something that should never happen has occurred. This portends a terrible future…

The chat was still a crucible of chaos.
We passed through the portal and returned to the Bar, which was the initial meeting place.
Clmumu in bartender attire and the other two participants welcome us.
“Did you have a good time?”
“Yes, well… it was okay.”
We have some small talk while pretending to drink the beverage Clmumu hands over.
And the second date resumes.
This time I chose Matdang in casual attire.
“Let’s change into comfortable clothes. The place we’re going from now is more active.”
“Okay.”
I changed the wedding dress that had felt slightly cumbersome from before into jeans and a white T-shirt.
And entering the inside of the portal.
What appeared this time was a zoo.
As if it was natural, Clmumu in a zoo staff uniform was at the ticket booth.
“Two adults, please.”
“Yes, you two came on a date? You make a good-looking couple.”
“……”
Clmumu, possessed by a nosy employee, throws various questions.
I brush it off roughly and receive the tickets to pass through the entrance.
“Wow!”
“It’s better made than you thought, right?”
“Yes. Definitely!”
I could tell it was made with much more care and effort than the world Leo had taken me to before.
Various colorful flowers blooming freshly from the entrance.
And trees with lush leaves blocking the hot midsummer sun.
I started appreciating all these scenes willingly while walking with Matdang.
“Ah, a tiger.”
“Do you like tigers?”
“Yes. Tigers are better than lions.”
Is this also a reflection of regional color?
Rather than lions that didn’t even exist in East Asia, tigers that have been with our people for a long time feel more familiar.
A tiger leisurely napping in its enclosure.
We passed by elephants twirling their trunks and penguins swimming, and saw long-necked giraffes and rhinos eating.
“We’ve walked a lot, are you tired? Shall we rest for a bit?”
“Huh? Oh, well… sure.”
There wasn’t particularly any fatigue since I was just moving an avatar, but to give immersion to the viewers, I also had to be faithful to the setting.
While sitting on a nearby bench for a moment, Matdang shouts “Just a moment!” and runs off.
Towards a small shop visible in the distance.
It’s hard to tell because of the distance, but I guess the clerk inside is probably Clmumu.
He’s really something, really.
“Here you go.”
“Oh, cotton candy. It’s been a really long time.”
“Do you like it?”
“This might be a bit nice…”
I grinned and took a big bite.
When I was young and went to amusement parks or resorts, I always begged my parents to buy me cotton candy and ice cream.
But when did it start?
When I grew up and visited with a girlfriend while dating, I didn’t feel like touching cotton candy at all.
Why?
Is it because of the image that it’s a snack for little children?
Being conscious of others’ gazes?
Anyway, now I was eating such cotton candy without hesitation.
I can’t taste anything… but the memories are sweet.
