I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

009. Five. XX

To be honest, after my turn, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t properly audition the other contestants.

“Whoa…”

After taking off the VR headset for a while, I sighed and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

The heat that does not go away even when the air conditioner is turned on.

Computer heat and the temperature of the headset itself were never negligible.

“Write it… will it work…?”

Sitting on the bed, I recalled the stage on which I had just sung.

I thought I had prepared well enough.

I think I sang well as much as I just practiced, and I think the comments and questions in between were clear.

In fact, the evaluation seemed to be good enough.

It wasn’t all favorable reviews, but it was true that I heard a lot of good things.

By the way, Blackstone saw my broadcast…

“Ah… what the hell did you see…”

When I heard that he was really good at broadcasting, I was much more embarrassed than happy.

Before the audition started, I would have used more slang and did a lot of aegyo that otaku viewers would like…

“Ugya gyaya gyakya!”

I kicked the fuzzy blanket and pulled the blanket up to just below my eyes in embarrassment even though no one was watching.

“ah. I don’t know. Mr. Lee… It would be nice if you could look at it.”

Just wanting to think positively, I picked up my phone and played the audition live again.

After all the auditions were over, they asked me to connect to the stage world again, so it didn’t matter if I stayed like this until then.

The one auditioning now was streamer Se-ri, wearing an avatar with prominent cat ears.

[Watashino Namaeo Yonde Kurenainara~]

A clear voice is transmitted through the cell phone speaker.

“Nanno, Imimimo, Nainoni~”

It was a very famous animation OST, so I hummed along with her voice.

But is this kind of song good for a contest…?

Of course, I thought it was a selection that would be enthusiastically cheered by subculture maniacs, but I’m sure there will be a lot of antipathy from people who aren’t…

As expected, the part I was concerned about was addressed right away in the judge’s review.

It was pointed out that being too immersed in Japanese culture could rather be an obstacle in the future, and since the direction of the existing broadcasting or channel was that way, I thought I would show a new side, but there were also comments that it was regrettable.

I, who had been listening, flinched for no reason.

I had a lot of interest in Japanese animation theme songs and J-pop, so I sang them a few times on TV…

As expected, I thought it was a good thing to watch the match with a Korean song today.

The judging was nearing its end, and I put my headset on my head again.

-Ding Dong

At the same time as the notification sound, the inside of my small room changes into another scene.

In such a space that is neither real nor virtual, I became Luca and started to move.

“Yes~ Participants will go to the stage soon to check the results~”

Following the staff’s instructions, the avatars of the candidates all moved toward the portal.

“Luke!”

“ah! sister!”

I turned my head at the call of Clover unni, whom I had become close to during the audition.

“Are you really good at singing? Luca, you were so full of energy, right?”

“a. what’s so hard It’s just steamed.”

“It sounds like a lot of praise for something like that, but why are you pretending to be humble?”

The older sister made a ＞_＜ expression that was not allowed for real humans, and looked very cute.

I have to do it too.

“Your sister is really cute, but if you don’t pull her out, she’ll be a dog.”

“I’m going to get fired because I can’t sing.”

After a while, we took the portal and went up to the stage where the audition was held.

“ruler! It looks like all the participants have gathered, so let’s proceed with the presentation right away!”

“If your name is called, please sit on the chair to the right one by one in turn!”

How did they make the map the same as the actual audition program?

There were 10 ornately decorated chairs placed on a podium that seemed to be the winner’s seat.

Exactly half of the people gathered now.

I was about to drop out here.

“Music… please…!”

oh I really hate it.

I hated it even when I saw the audition on the screen, but when I became the person in charge and stood in the middle of this background sound, I frowned.

Just call me by name…

If my heart beats fast for so long, I wonder if I’ll fall ill.

I felt my throat burning tight.

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Unique music that heightens the tension rings in the ears.

“The first passer is…Jennifer!”

“Kyaaa!”

“Jennifer, you can climb up on the chair and sit down!”

Even though I was quite far from me, I could hear Jennifer’s screams clearly.

“Wow~ Congratulations!”

The candidates congratulated each other on the extension, and Jennifer’s avatar waved and moved onto the first chair.

In fact, no matter what anyone said, Jennifer was in the ranks of passers-by who performed in name and reality.

I wasn’t surprised.

From now on, the battlefield for the rest of the ambiguous candidates.

“Then let’s go to the next candidate right away!”

Still, it was good because there were no commercials because it was a live broadcast.

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Oh real music please…

It was an announcement of successful applicants, but I couldn’t mute it, and it was just embarrassing.

“Humoring-nim! Climb up on the podium!”

“Wow…! Nonsense…”

Humouring’s avatar standing near me stood still and couldn’t move, as if it had a bug.

“Humoring-nim! You seem to be crying right now…”

Fearing that one candidate would say that, Humouring started sobbing without even going up.

“Uhhh… I thought I was really falling… huh…”

In fact, I didn’t know much about the streamer Humouring, but it was a part that I could understand a little bit why I like it.

Usually when I see her crying, there are times when I feel frustrated or annoyed, but her crying voice contained otherworldly cuteness.

In the meantime, I thought that changing it to a crying expression kills sense.

Isn’t this acting?

Maybe it’s a strategic juicer…?

Humoring, who sat on a chair rubbing her face with both hands, did not stop crying despite the consolation of Jennifer, the first successful candidate.

“The next candidate…!”

Wow. There are still 8 left?

If I was accepted, I wanted to apply quickly, and if I was to fail, I wanted to be notified right away that ‘Luka-sama has failed’.

There was no torture like this.

I tried to comfort myself, thinking that it would be more painful for those who filmed the actual audition program on site.

Since then, six successful applicants have been called out, but sadly, my name did not exist on that list.

“Now… there are only two chairs left. everyone.”

mind control.

mind control.

If you fall, you fall.

no. Well, there were a lot of other candidates who sang well.

There were a lot of cute people in Avatar…

My personal broadcasting has grown a lot thanks to this audition, and the number of fans has increased, so there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, right?

Although I repeated the words of comfort to myself several times in my heart, I still couldn’t give up hope that the rope of hope would come down to me as well.

“Would you like to send a cheering chat to your favorite?”

…Thinking of the Pingtuk troupe who should have been chanting Luca by now, my heart was touched.

Ah… please. I will live kindly. I will work really hard on broadcasts and practice singing every day. please. please.

“Who will win the ticket to the Project Closure Final Audition…”

“This is Leah!”

Ahh…

right. he was there

Song One Top Leah.

A monster contestant who auditioned right in front of me.

If you think about it, he was a participant at a level where it would have been strange not to stick.

The rest of the candidates next to me were all congratulating me, but they seemed to feel the same way.

The 9 who passed were looking down on us, and of the remaining 11, only one was able to climb up there.

It was a moment in which it was difficult to hide loneliness while celebrating.

“Now… Then, before we know it, only the last candidate remains.”

At the host’s words, the stage was once again subdued by a solemn atmosphere.

Time passes slowly.

When I thought that my challenge could come to an end here, my heart felt heavy.

oh Even if you really cry, you have to cry alone after everything is over.

I didn’t even get results for nothing, but I felt like I was choking.

“The firepower of the chat window is amazing. now. There are many people who say not to wait, but thanks to your support, I will go at once.”

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

I closed my eyes tightly.

don’t expect

don’t expect

It’s not even 10% chance…

“This is Luca!”

“Five. fuck.”

When my name was called, I spoke with my spinal cord, not my brain.
