Chapter 49: The True teacher of our time, Part 1

Saying you’re preparing for school sounds grand, but it’s not that complicated.

First.

“Status window.”

-Yes?

“Bring the reward.”

-Yes!

She will use the roulette ticket that she protected during the crisis that almost destroyed her relationship with her mother.

She did turn on the half-cam, and she was subjected to shameful acts in the process.

She has the right to receive a reward.

-S, since you seem to be in a bad mood, I’m thinking of trying a simple random box format instead of the roulette.

-What do you think?

“That’s a good idea.”

Just in time, the status window declared that it would provide a simple random box as a reward, and Min Hayoon, nodding at the tactful status window’s move, tapped the holographic random box it provided.

Then.

-Fanfare!

With a cheerful fanfare sound effect.

[Infinite Vitality]

-You gain infinite recovery, allowing you to recover from any fatigue cleanly after waking up.

If you get 6 or more hours of sleep a day, your day will be peaceful.

-We support your energetic day.

She got Infinite Vitality, which she had been eyeing for a long time.

Judging from the description, it seemed very helpful in maintaining her condition while attending school.

“Nice! Nice!”

After opening the trait random box, well…

She calculated the bus schedule and the time it would take to get to school, checked if there were any problems with the school uniform that had been gathering dust in the closet, and sprayed some perfume to get rid of the unique closet smell.

Next, it was time to change the routine she had been following.

As Min Hayoon had been in crunch mode every moment, working on broadcasts and illustrations 7 days a week, it became impossible to maintain the current routine with the addition of high school attendance.

It was time to create a new routine.

“First…”

She has to consider the time until 5 PM as completely free.

Basically, high school classes are from 8 AM to 4 PM.

It will be five o’clock by the time she gets home and does some things, and it’s impossible to start broadcasting right away.

“No, no.. I’m going to take a break from broadcasting now.”

The schedule after 5 PM is fixed for illustration work.

There are still many illustrations to be drawn, and since the Patreon broadcast is on hiatus, it’s time to focus on Patreon and Pixiv.

As the inflow from the broadcast disappeared, she needs to focus on the quality of the illustrations to attract new viewers through Pixiv rankings.

Since she has to compete with other illustrators who are as good as or better than her, even if she works from 5 PM to 11 PM, she might feel like she doesn’t have enough time.

“I can just do my work when there are classes like Korean, English, and math in school, so if I supplement my time like that, can I use about eight hours for drawing?”

Eight hours a day.

Considering that she now has to attend high school, she has secured at least the minimum amount of time to focus on the operation of Cosplay Holic and Patreon.

The problem is the broadcast…

“Even if I put up a notice for a break, I need to pretend to catch the viewers…”

She thought it would be right to communicate through the cafe from time to time.

And a week later.

“I’m taking suggestions for a character avatar concept…”

Min Hayoon posted on the cafe, asking for suggestions for a character avatar concept.

The post said that she would review them all and choose the best combination.

It was practically the same as saying that she would create a character avatar as she pleased, but nevertheless, the response was enthusiastic.

-Are you okay?

-Are you mentally okay?

-You have to go to high school now, so take a good rest. Take a good rest.

Since it was her first communication since the long break announcement.

The so-called loyalist viewers were concerned about Hayoon’s well-being.

The viewers who had been enjoying the broadcast since the beginning were deeply attached to Hayoon, so they had little intention of watching other broadcasts.

-A training jersey with bloomers is a stable combination. Try it.

-Female characters should have long black hair.

-The chest must be big.

And some others, as always, requested drawings they wanted to see from Min Hayoon.

Decorate Hayoon’s character avatar with their own tastes.

With that kind of approach, many people were immersed and enthusiastically came up with ideas.

“Then, I’ll bring a few drafts next week. I’ll take it easy while preparing for high school…”

Min Hayoon replied that she would come back once a week to report her survival.

The reaction of the fan cafe members was explosive.

Min Hayoon tried to solidify the unity of her loyal viewers in this way…

And the following week.

“Ta-da, what do you think of this draft…”

Min Hayoon uploaded a draft to the fan cafe.

It was a character avatar created by combining the ideas of the viewers.

A training jersey with bloomers.

Black hair in a ponytail.

A busty athletic character.

It might seem a bit plain as a character avatar, but if you think of it as an illustration from a place like Pixiv…

-Ah, it’s really the best.

It’s perfect.

-Even though it’s once a week, it feels good to request drawings like on a broadcast.

-When will three months pass? Will she come back around the summer vacation season?

-I hope so…

The fan cafe members grinned at the draft Min Hayoon drew, and sometimes gave new ideas and waited for the draft they would receive next week.

And the following week.

The viewers liked the improved Korean dog girl that Min Hayoon brought and gave their opinions.

And the following Monday.

The day of Hayoon’s second first year of high school began.

#

Min Hayoon’s May was peaceful.

She was taking a break from broadcasting, and since she had been keeping up with the schedule while working on Cosplay Holic and Patreon illustrations.

Even though she was paying a little more attention to quality, it wasn’t too overwhelming.

Rather, she had so much free time that she was uploading drafts of character avatar candidates to the fan cafe every week.

It was a leisurely, relaxed, and long-awaited freedom since she became a woman due to the status window.

But that leisure is now over.

Today, when Min Hayoon’s second first year of high school begins in earnest, has finally arrived.

“Sigh, I really hate it.”

She didn’t know when she started school in her first year before she became a woman, but she felt like she was starting school earlier than then, so she was very uncomfortable.

But what can she do.

It’s not like she can not go to school just because she doesn’t want to, and she’s not confident that she can pass the GED in one go.

“I still have to go… to school…”

Hayoon wore a Burberry check pattern school uniform skirt that was unnecessarily pretty even though there were less than 100 female students in the whole school, a neat pure white shirt, and a dark brown blazer over it.

“Why is it so pretty…”

It’s really an admirable outfit.

No matter what she wears, her lips twitch whenever she looks in the mirror, and the uniform for female students at Yongsan IT High School, where Hayoon will be attending, was one of the prettiest in the country, not just in Seoul.

After admiring the fit of the uniform in front of the mirror until she was tired of it, she packed her newly purchased tablet and other essentials in her bag and left the room.

“I’m going to school.”

“Wow, it’s already today?”

“Yes, it is.”

When she went outside, Min Jungyun, who had recently switched to working from home, was eating toast in the kitchen with his eyes glued to his laptop, and he waved goodbye.

“Have a good day. Did mom go to the studio?”

“Yeah, there’s not much work these days, so she went early in the morning to work hard on editing your stuff.”

“Hehe, I don’t know how to thank her.”

“Then just tell her you love her later tonight.”

“Yes, I should.”

Yoon Suhee went to the studio today, and Hayoon got ready to go to school with a smile.

Since Yoon Suhee was working so hard for Hayoon, it wouldn’t be right to complain about just going to high school.

“I need to release the game in October.”

Determined to hurry before it was too late, Min Hayoon put on her shoes, opened the front door, and went outside.

And when she passed the elevator and came out of the apartment’s common entrance.

“Ah…”

Min Hayoon felt the wind for the first time in a while.

The strange circulation of air between her inner thighs that she felt whenever she wore a skirt.

It gave her goosebumps, and she couldn’t get used to it.

She thought she should stop by a convenience store on the way to school and buy some pantyhose.

“It arrives in 10 minutes…”

As soon as she arrived at the bus stop, Hayoon checked the bus arrival time and immediately took out her tablet from her bag and started working on an illustration.

Since it was the morning rush hour, even though it said it would arrive in 10 minutes, it could be as long as 30 minutes.

She has to work in an uncomfortable position, but this is enough time to roughly sketch.

“I can work on the details in a comfortable place anyway.”

So, swish, swish.

Black lines are drawn according to the movement of Hayoon’s pen.

This time, she’s going to draw an illustration of a cat nurse.

A concept ECG of the energetic bartender, Ju Yena, wearing cat ear headbands because the cosplay bar said a simple nurse concept wasn’t enough.

As Hayoon sketched, a beautiful woman began to be drawn.

She drew Ju Yena with her large breasts resting on the bar table, a slightly tipsy face, and a finger circling while smiling seductively.

‘Ah, this is really good…?’

Most dating sims have a fixed concept.

Convenience store, snack bar, etc., it’s a genre where you interact with each heroine in a specific space and develop romantic feelings.

The biggest drawback of this technique is that there is a limit to the variety of clothes that can be put on the heroine.

But what about Cosplay Holic?

In the limited space of Cocktail Holic, the concept of heroines cosplaying created endless possibilities.

Maid, nurse, bunny girl, police, etc.

There is no concept that cannot be used.

‘This is it.’

She can produce illustrations without overlapping concepts.

How enjoyable is this for an illustrator?

Min Hayoon drew the illustration with a faint smile, and naturally, she attracted attention.

A beautiful appearance that attracts attention even when standing still.

A particularly pretty school uniform among school uniforms.

The sight of her standing with one leg bent and drawing on a tablet while others were going to work or school.

There was no element that did not attract attention.

Hayoon received a lot of attention, but she didn’t care and focused on completing the rough sketch.

She will feel this kind of attention for the rest of her life living in this body, and what’s important to Hayoon now is the successful launch of Cosplay Holic.

‘Cosplay is Halloween, so I should suggest fixing the release schedule for Halloween this time.’

After waiting for the bus for about 10 minutes and finishing the rough sketch, she got on the bus as soon as she confirmed its arrival.

“Sigh…”

She sat in an empty window seat and sighed, feeling dejected.

“I don’t want to go to school…”

She hates it, but she has to try to adjust.
