Santa Grandfather never came secretly in the early dawn to leave gifts.

Instead, I decided to build a snowman with Dad out in the yard from the snow that had piled up since the morning.

The rolling snowball quickly grew larger until it became bigger than my body.

“Can you lift it by yourself?”

“Yeah, this much is no problem.”

I lifted the gigantic snowball, which was 1 meter in diameter, high above my head.

The fact that the snowball I would use for the middle was 1 meter means that the one underneath it was also at least 1 meter.

“Here we go.”

With all my might, I rolled another snowball onto the large one.

In the end, Dad helped me with the parts I couldn’t reach.

By the time I placed the last third snowball on its head, a gigantic snowman over 2 meters tall was completed.

People who decorate the snowman’s face with buttons or carrots are amateurs.

I climbed on Dad’s back and carefully surrounded my hand with aura.

Then I sculpted the round snowman with the mindset of Michelangelo or a plastic surgeon.

Crunch, crunch—

Intense, keen eyes of a raptor, a beak slightly curved downwards, a straight mouth, and even feather expressions.

The eagle snowman was complete.

I hopped down to the ground, took a picture, and admired it.

Even I thought it was a masterpiece that would never happen again.

When I posted the photo on Instagram, President Newsom, who happened to be active on social media, shared my post.

“Americans really love eagles, you know.”

I went inside and warmed up with a hot chocolate.

While browsing the comments on social media, I chuckled at people’s reactions.

Just then, Saetbyeol, who had just finished the Christmas Eve broadcast by Korean standards, yawned and emerged from her capsule.

“Yawn. I have to take a break tomorrow. So tired.”

“Saetbyeol, look over there.”

“Where?”

“Outside, the snowman.”

“Eek, what is that?! Isn’t it a monster?”

Saetbyeol poked her head out the window to check the snowman.

The cold wind breezed through the whole house.

“Wow, it’s an eagle. Did you make it, sis?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow, wow! I need to take a picture! But why doesn’t it have a body or wings?”

“Then it wouldn’t be a snowman.”

“The head is an eagle, so it’s not really a person either.”

“Let’s just call it a snow camera then.”

Saetbyeol took pictures of the snowman from various angles like a professional photographer.

When she returned home, she scratched her cheek, seeming disappointed.

“It’s a shame only we get to see it.”

“That’s why I posted about it on Instagram.”

“Oh no, that’s not enough. There’s no one to admire it in person! Wait a second, let me call NaeMe.”

“Okay?”

She must have had a thought pop into her head.

Saetbyeol brought out a hummingbird robot from my room.

It was a drone I had received as a Christmas gift from Dad last year.

Buzz—

Making a bug-like noise, the hummingbird quickly flew outside.

The view of the snowman captured from above was linked to Saetbyeol’s phone.

“Wow, that’s cool. Isn’t it nice?”

“Let’s show this to other people too.”

“To whom?”

“I don’t know.”

“…?”

Saetbyeol suddenly put on a black mask.

Then she sat down right next to me, placing the phone on the table.

[WhollyChat]

[Searching for a partner…]

“What’s this?”

“Don’t you know random chat?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

“Wait! I almost forgot to set this up!”

[Search only certified users ✅]

“What’s this?”

“If you don’t check this, it could be a big deal. It’s only for verified users to chat with each other.”

“What happens if you don’t?”

“Well, there are things like that! So if we link the drone to the screen… What do you think? Isn’t it cool? Let’s go show off!”

[Found a partner.]

[Country: Argentina]

A completely black screen appeared.

[Hi, wow, what is that?]

I could hear the voice of a girl speaking in a mix of dialect and Spanish.

[Real-time Translation: ON]

“This is the snowman my little brother made this morning. What do you think? Give me your feedback.”

[Wow, the snowman is really cool! It’s amazing!]

“My little brother is quite talented.”

[How old is your brother?]

“He’s only nine.”

[Really? Nine? No way.]

“I swear, he’s really nine. He’s right next to me.”

As the interested Argentine girl removed her hand from the screen,

she leaned in closely with a face full of freckles, filled with curiosity.

[Hi! I’m Melyna. I’d love to see your faces, do you have a camera?]

Saetbyeol switched the screen.

I awkwardly waved my hand following her.

“Hello.”

“Can you see us? Did you say the snowman was made by him?”

[Wow, your little brother is super cute! Hi, friend!]

“You’re cute too, Melyna.”

[Oh? Does your brother speak Spanish?]

“Yeah, my brother is a genius. He can do anything.”

“Except for how tall I can grow.”

Melyna blinked her eyes rapidly, then let out a characteristic girl’s shriek.

[Waaaaah! No way, I know you! You’re that genius, NoName!]

When I nodded slightly, Melyna ran off-screen to call her family.

Shortly after, she returned with what appeared to be her sister.

Their reactions were exactly the same, as expected of sisters.

[Whoa! Is this real?]

“*Ahem.*”

Saetbyeol seemed to puff up as if she were receiving compliments for herself.

It seemed like the snowman was just an excuse; she wanted to brag about me.

[How did you come up with the idea to make a statue out of snow?]

“*It snowed all day yesterday, so a lot piled up in the yard. A regular snowman isn’t really that cool.*”

[Wow, you speak Spanish really well!]

“*Thank you.*”

[Can you maybe make something with aura and show us?]

“*Are you talking about external manifestation?*”

[Yeah, yeah.]

I thought for a moment, stroking my chin.

Given that there is a sun on the Argentine flag, that would be perfect.

Gathering my mind, I clasped my hands together and concentrated a golden aura into a single point.

I lowered the density of the aura so that the rays of sunlight could be well expressed.

Then the aura confined inside would burst through the boundary layer and emit a light.

“Ah.”

As I released my clasped hands, a bright mini sun was born in front of me.

The girls stared at it with their mouths agape, unable to say a word.

‘They shouldn’t be that surprised by such a trick.’

To give them even more of a shock, I pretended to swallow the small aura sun.

“*Yawn, see? It’s not in my mouth anymore. Beee.*”

I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out, showing that the sun had completely disappeared.

Then I pulled out another clump of aura from my chest area.

[Waaaaah!!!]

The young audience watching from their corners of the room applauded without reserve, as if they were at a circus.

Saetbyeol quickly said her goodbyes as she wanted to boast to others.

The girls sent me love heart signs, feeling remorseful.

How cute.

A smile crept naturally onto my face.

The world tour continued after that.

To the Italians, I showed pasta noodles made from aura.

In a bit of provocation, I split the noodle bundle into two pieces.

[&*&@&#&!!!]

“*Hehe, just kidding.*”

Sticking similar types of aura together is as easy as pie.

As I joined the noodles back together, the Italian youth sighed in relief.

Drawing attention with the snowman, or rather the snow camera, everyone showed great interest.

Some instantly recognized me, while others were surprised only after I explained who I was, and there were those who didn’t recognize me at all.

In fact, that didn’t matter much.

The audience was lavish in their praise for the magnificent snow eagle and aura circus.

Though it felt like nothing happened, three hours quickly flew by, and lunchtime was already here.

Is this what they call a modern new drug?

I had fallen right into Saetbyeol’s scheme.

“Let’s stop now. We need to eat.”

“Just one last thing…!”

“Okay, this is really the last time.”

“Okay! Now, next guest to enter!”

[WhollyChat ⦁⦁⦁]

[Found a partner.]

[Country: South Korea]

“Let’s do just one last thing before we log off. Deal?”

Ted Kim, who had made random chatting his main content on Twish and Vtubing, appeased the viewers’ protests.

– Please, men don’t count.

– It’s only 2 AM!

– Oppa, just a little more plsㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– A Christmas just passing like this, sigh.

– There’s nothing that hits harder than watching all this and getting hit with reality.

– I agree haha.

– Let’s go three hours with the last guest~

With a K-pop idol-like tall figure, Ted Kim charmed girls from all over the world. It was what the viewers thought was a funny point of Ted Kim’s broadcast.

Male viewers identified with Ted Kim, and female viewers admired his looks.

He was one of the very few Vtubers whose subscriber gender ratio was exactly 5:5.

Ted Kim spun the last random chat roulette.

[Search only certified users ✅]

The certified user check was a must.

If someone did any 19+ acts, the broadcast would be shut down without mercy.

[Found a partner.]

[Country: United States]

“Looks like it’s the US. That’s pretty good.”

Ted Kim picked up the guitar he had leaned against the wall and prepared to work.

[Oh? This is a snowman my little brother made this Christmas morning. Isn’t it cool?]

“Oh?”

– Wow, what the heck lol.

– The snowman’s head has an eagle head on it lol.

– Is this the level of the great nation?

– Needlessly high quality lol.

– Such a waste of talent, crazy.

– Michelangelo must have reincarnated incorrectly lol.

– I heard the other voice twice, what’s up with that?

– Translation magic usually doesn’t sync well.

– ???

“Wait, Korean? Are you Korean?”

“Yeah! I’m living in America with my family now.”

“What a coincidence! Really nice to meet you.”

[Real-time Translation: OFF]

Ted Kim felt the signs of a broadcast hit right away.

It was a coincidence that a Korean was matched in such a vast America, and her voice had a considerable beauty to it.

As a random chat veteran, he had picked up the passive of this craft.

The veteran viewers showed enthusiastic reactions as well.

[“Aiueo” donated 2,000 won!]

– Ah, I missed my sleep today lol. I have to go at least three hours, right?

Ted Kim turned on the lights in the dark room.

As his vivid features emerged, his intense eyes like a wolf quietly gazed at the screen.

Now was exactly the time for the girl’s cheer to erupt.

However…

[It may look small, but it’s over 2 meters tall. Oh, you’ve turned on the cam. Honestly, I think it’s a bit ambiguous to even call it a snowman. How about snow cam or snow no Taurus?]

The girl’s reaction was rather lukewarm.

That “oh, you’ve turned on the cam” was all she said.

Instead, Ted Kim smiled at the fresh response.

Such types of people found excitement simply by conversing together.

Ted Kim quickly changed the subject and responded to her words.

“How about a snow eagle? A bald eagle? Or a snow-headed eagle?”

[Hey, you have good sense? That’s the best opinion I’ve heard so far.]

“Did you make it?”

“No, my brother did.”

“Your brother seems to have good skills.”

“My brother’s right next to me. Just say anything.”

“Hello!”

“Hey there, friend!”

– What? Why is your voice so cute lol.

– Seems quite young?

– Nowadays, kids have strict cuts. If they can’t make a snowman like that, are they exiled from Earth?

– Those sisters seem to be having too much fun. I’m jealous haha.

– This appearance is not working, really a strong opponent.

“Can you guys use the cam? To be honest, I’m broadcasting right now, so if you don’t want your face shown, it’s totally fine.”

If they were foreigners, it would have been fine to postpone the report, but since it was revealed he was Korean, it was courteous to inform the broadcast.

[Oh no, what should we do…! The other person seems to be a broadcaster?]

[You decide. Just wear a mask well.]

[If it’s okay, then yeah, we’re fine.]

As the cam was unveiled, a checkered ceiling came into view.

– Ah, a familiar home ceiling.

– Please lower the angle just a bit!

– Can’t see!

– Are you pretty? Are you pretty? Are you pretty? Are you pretty?

The owner of the voice first drew a V sign with her hand and smiled with her eyes.

How small must her face be for the mask to be so loose?

With cat-like eyes, a slender and smooth neck, and skin as white as jade.

She was gorgeous.
