I felt confused at Diah’s sudden swimsuit appearance.
The second feeling was embarrassment.
The third and final feeling was:
“…Is this what you like…?”
– ㅇㅇ
– ㅖ
– Not enough to eat.
– It’s gourmet.
– Diah got stunned, lol.
– (Shock)(Embarrassment)
– Dilated pupils, lol.
– Maybe still a baby and doesn’t know well.
Pure curiosity or intrigue.
I started scrolling down to check the comments section of the post, continuing in that vein.

ㄴ So when will the swimsuit dakimakura come out?
ㄴ I’m shocked.
ㄴ Are you taking commissions?
“Uh, um. It does look pretty…”
– Saying for the fifth time to show the fan art again.
– Many talented people among No Euls.
– There are many pretty things.
– (Big tongue licking emoji) X5
– When you release the 3D version later, make sure to include a swimsuit edition, it’s my lifelong wish.
In the past, while preparing for her Virtual YouTuber debut, she had also surveyed what types of illustrations viewers preferred.
However, she never expected them to like it this much.
Why do they like this so much just because the outfit changed to a swimsuit?
Isn’t this a bit too overt?
‘Maybe they like it because it’s something they normally can’t see…’
She knew the main viewer demographic of Virtual YouTuber broadcasts tended to prefer this kind of appearance, but she didn’t really understand exactly why.
In short, she knew it in her head but didn’t understand it in her heart.
Anyway, if she kept lingering on the [Diah at the Beach] post, the state of the No Euls would grow more intense.
– Tap tap.
ㄴ Diah: You drew it beautifully. Please draw other clothes nicely next time~
She left a short comment and liked the post, intending to move on to another fan art.
It was due to the late realization of the center’s director’s advice that relaxing while broadcasting can be beneficial to health.
But.
– Ding.
[Diah has received a donation of 50,000 won from ekdus7!]
: Please make eye contact for 10 seconds.
Just as she was about to click on another fan art post, a huge donation arrived.
It was particularly familiar, the sponsor name too.
‘Oh, so you want me to make eye contact?’
She could move on to another fan art post.
Yet she found herself in a dilemma, unable to scroll up to face Diah’s exposed appearance again.
The bigger problem was.
– Ding.
[Diah has received a donation of 50,000 won from ekdus7!]
: Ah
[Diah has received a donation of 50,000 won from ekdus7!]
: This
[Diah has received a donation of 50,000 won from ekdus7!]
: Contact!
[Diah has received a donation of 50,000 won from ekdus7!]
: Take!!!!!
In the end, the amount was so significant that ignoring it would be a big mistake.
Because of Dae Yeon’s outburst, the chat and donation sections became a bit chaotic.
[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!]
: Diah, lol.
– It’s chaos, lol.
– Diah’s swimsuit is that good… isn’t it, lol?
– Seems like someone knows what’s up, ㅇㅇ.
– A big spender, can’t ban them.
– Let’s go!
And so, feeling unable to endure any longer, she finally banned ekdus7 from the broadcast.
It was because she now realized that even Dae Yeon had seen Diah’s swimsuit appearance, which made her already warm ears burn even more.
“You’re out.”
– Let’s go out!
– Diah is angry, whoa.
– I’ll remember!!!!
– I’m sad, lol.
– Whoa, I donated 250,000 won and got banned as a reaction.
– Diah is pissed, seriously!
Thus, for the first time in her broadcasting life, after banishing Dae Yeon, she began to look around at other fan arts.
The problem was that there were other fan arts with similar or even higher visibility than the [Diah at the Beach] post.
Thanks to that, Ha Eun’s plan to conduct a relatively calm broadcast was completely derailed.
Every time Diah’s unusual appearance, which could not normally be seen, appeared on the broadcast screen, the No Euls buzzed with excitement.
“Ahhhhh!!! Aren’t you crazy?!”
– Whoa.
– Aren’t we going to get banned for this? Lol.
– Yo, thighs, crazy.
– Hehe.
– Everyone is too much for a one-year-old baby (bring more emoji).
– Why are only these kinds of posts on trending?
– Diah might go off at this rate, lol.
– 3 seconds to reality hit… 2 seconds… 1 second…
– The average viewership of No Euls is plummeting.
In the end, after some time passed, she immediately closed the post window at that moment when the visibility was suspected to be somewhat high.
Without properly viewing the fan art, which had a strangely high quality, she moved on to another fan art post.
Due to Diah’s “close” button skills, the No Euls’ chatroom sentiment briefly ignited, but.
“My heart is racing too fast… If I keep looking at those things, I might have to go back to the Spirit World…”
– No, let’s gamble here.
– Protect Diah!!!!
– Got a heart disease?
– If you have heart disease, it’s really dangerous…;
– Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go…
– Honestly, it was a bit excessive, ㅇㅇ.
– If you go to the Spirit World, take me with you.
Once again, she mentioned Diah’s health on the broadcast mic, and quickly the sentiment calmed down.
The concern for Diah’s health outweighed the desire to enjoy high-quality fan art.
Especially since Diah, who usually showed only a bright face, had displayed a frail side for the first time.
From then on, she focused on relatively wholesome fan arts.
Coincidentally, most of the fan arts were themed around various events that had happened on Diah’s broadcast.
“Ah, this is from the first broadcast of Battle Island. The exploding motorcycle is painted very vividly.”
– Back then, it really felt like we were filming Mad Max.
– I’ve been curious, have you ever prepared for the Baea Pro?
– The railgun even respects Diah.
– I never thought I’d see Diah’s Baea lip roll in real-time.
Ha Eun too began to gradually fall into the ‘quiet enjoyment’ she recalled as the center director had said.
Every time she leisurely appreciated the fan art drawn by the No Euls, she never forgot to leave brief comments and likes.
Thus, after roughly one hour more of the fan art exploration broadcast.
The speed of the chatroom had noticeably slowed down compared to the usual game broadcasts, but it wasn’t hugely noticeable.
Thanks to that, after finishing the fan art exploration broadcast, she visited [TreeWiki] for a brief moment to release various official information about Diah.
While they called it official, it was actually closer to a storytelling time detailing Diah’s character that Ha Eun had imagined in the past, but anyway.
[TINFH has donated 10,000 won!]
: So can spirits use magic?
“Magic? Hmm, I can summon things like dark clouds or fog.”
– Our Diah was a nature elemental.
– No wonder her hair is white-toned.
– Diah, can you summon a storm on Monday? I really don’t want to go to work.
– Seems like the TreeWiki attendants are editing in real-time?
– Real-time updates are incredible.
And so, after a long time of communicating only with the No Euls from the start to the end of the broadcast, the result was a slight decline in tension.
After Diah’s signature end-of-broadcast line was recorded into the broadcast mic, she ended the broadcast and felt that her throat was less sore than usual.
She still had just a little bit of energy left.
Honestly, she wanted to study, do a quick read of the script for [The Sunshine], prepare for [Infinite Challenge Music Show], or provide feedback on Yena’s cover song, but.
‘Just take a good rest even at home!’
‘………Yes.’
‘Huh, why are you hesitating to answer? If you keep doing that, I’ll check with your mom?’
‘Oh, I get it. I’ll take it easy today.’
Because of her promise with Ju Jung-yun a few hours ago, it kept echoing in Ha Eun’s ears.
For the first time, she lay on the bed with some remaining energy.
‘Hmm…’
How long had it been since she just lay there doing nothing?
In the second life, every moment passed doing something to avoid regrets or regrets, so now was a rare time when she could just ‘rest comfortably’.
Though, it didn’t seem so bad to rest comfortably like this.
Staring blankly at the pure white ceiling, she eventually succumbed to the sleepiness that crept in.
She couldn’t remember the dream she had that day.
All she remembered was feeling refreshed when she woke up early in the morning like usual.

“Now, next is the only girl in this music show! I’m really looking forward to who it is. First, let’s listen to your ‘Destiny’ from the Star!”
It was finally the recording day of the [Infinite Challenge Music Show].
Beyond the dazzling broadcast set, the voice of the MC, Sung Yoo-seok, echoed.
Immediately after, she adjusted her handheld microphone slightly.
The OST of a famous drama that once became Ha Eun’s first drama and is still talked about began to flow out.
Thus, as the intro part of ‘Destiny’ was gradually completed,
At the moment she brought the handheld microphone closer to her mouth,
“──♪───♪”
Ha Eun’s unique clear tone began to fill the set.
The cast of [Infinite Challenge] briefly stirred but soon closed their mouths and started to listen.
No other sounds could be heard besides Ha Eun’s singing.
Not a single weak breath was audible.
When Ha Eun’s song reached a perfect ending without any notable mistakes,
The member of [Infinite Challenge], who had wished to be on the same team as Ha Eun, still hidden beyond the broadcast set said,
“Wow, since you’re the only girl, I hope all the members can be on the same team!”
“Wait a second. All members?”
“That means Yoo-seok hyung will also be on the same team!”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Isn’t that a no?”
Everyone, including MC Sung Yoo-seok, remarked.
Even though he could not team up with Lee Jun, Lee Jun nonetheless expressed a desire to team up with Ha Eun for now.
