Chapter 76: This Is Irresistible

There is a saying, “Seven parts luck, three parts skill.”

It means that most things people experience in life have a significant element of luck involved.

It was said that luck accounts for 70%, and skill only 30%.

No matter how much effort you put into improving your skills, if luck doesn’t follow, you won’t achieve anything.

And I had never been particularly lucky.

[Ah… Ahhhh…]

[How many times has this person watched the movie? Haha]

[What’s going on? I just got here and this is happening?]

[I have so many coupon codes, but none of them give anything decent]

[Wow, full skin for Renok!]

[They’re giving a limited edition skin for Renok. Should I drop Camilla and go for Renok instead? – Deleted message]

[Hey, you shouldn’t say that]

[The mod is on point, haha. The host is mad, so watch yourselves]

Sigh…

It didn’t make sense, but I rubbed my stiff neck.

I had watched the movie in full from the first showing on opening day, the second day, and the third day.

I had received a total of 15 coupon codes.

Now, I was streaming and opening them one by one with my viewers.

I could’ve opened them by myself in advance, but I thought this would be more fun. It felt like I was doing a gacha live on stream.

I input the codes one by one, but the results weren’t good.

• Adventurer! Thank you for watching Abyss: The New World! Here’s your reward!
• Furious Theodora Emoticon (Rare)

“Hmm…”

[Wow! Theodora!]

[This emoticon expresses the current feelings of the host, huh?]

[If none of these come out, do we just spend money to buy them?]

[Probably]

[It would’ve been cheaper to just use AP and buy them]

[Haha, how many times have you watched the movie?]

[Suspiciously, this person keeps watching the same movie]

[I heard a lot of people kept watching the movie just for skins, even aside from the host]

This wasn’t what I wanted.

I had planned to boldly pull the Snow Queen Camilla live, position myself for a VTuber vibe, and show off my skills like it was nothing to the master of Camilla, but now, it seemed like this could turn into a public execution show. A funeral with a festival vibe—something like that.

“Let’s open the last five… and see.”

[Why am I nervous for this?]

[Let’s play some background music]

[Is this meta?]

[I saw someone’s probability chart, and it was less than 0.1%]

[Still higher than mobile gacha games]

[If I was going to do this properly, I should’ve brought 30 tickets, not just 15…]

[Then I would’ve had to take a week off]

[If Snow Queen Camilla comes out, it’ll be legendary, haha]

With a serious atmosphere, I began entering the remaining coupon codes one by one.

And the results were…

Top of Form

“Ah…”

Unfortunately, it was all a bust.

The only thing that came out was a hero-level skin, but to me, who had been focusing solely on Camilla, it was just trash.

“That’s too bad.”

I had expected it, but I couldn’t hide my disappointment.

The viewers, who had been following my story of living in the movie theater and sacrificing so much, tried their best to comfort me.

“Looks like I’ll have to buy the Snow Queen Camilla myself. It would’ve been nice if it came out from a coupon.”

[Yeah, that’s true ᅲᅲ]

[So disappointing]

[Shouldn’t they just give Camilla’s skin through a special event?]

[Haha, she’s the only one who worked so hard on Camilla while no one else did]

[Because of Kayak, many new Camilla users started playing]

[Are they going to treat the original members of IoniX like that?]

I had watched the movie until late last night and then immediately started streaming right after I woke up this morning.

I hadn’t showered or eaten yet.

I decided to ask the viewers, who had come to watch my stream so early in the morning, for just one more favor.

“Can I quickly shower and come back? I literally just woke up and started the stream.”

[Go ahead, no problem]

[I wondered why you started so early]

[I’ll order you some food, haha]

“Thanks, I’ll be right back.”

I stepped away for a moment and came back.

It was 9:20 AM. I said I’d be quick, but it took me more than 20 minutes.

If I really tried to shower quickly, it should have only taken 10 minutes, but many things were different now.

It took a lot of time, and the main reason was my hair.

It was long and tangled when I washed it roughly, so it took a lot of effort. Honestly, it was the part that required the most attention while showering.

Lately, there had been a trend on VTuber channels about how to maintain smooth hair, so I became a bit more conscious about it and was extra careful while washing it.

After all, I had obtained the perfect and beautiful body of Camilla, and I thought it’d be better to take care of it properly.

Anyway, when I finished drying my hair as quickly as I could and returned…

“Sorry, I kept you waiting.”

[You’re back?]

[^^7]

[It really feels like we live together…]

[Huh?]

[What, what, what’s going on?]

But the reactions in the chat were a little strange.

It seemed like the number of viewers had increased a lot since before.

“…? What happened?”

[Nothing!]

[Nothing at all!]

[You guys can’t lie, haha, you’re so obvious]

[Something did happen… but I don’t think it’s necessary to know]

[I just joined, so I don’t know]

“Hmm…”

It seemed like something had happened, but from the chat, it looked like they weren’t going to tell me.

In times like this, there’s always a way.

I squinted my eyes, glanced at the chat, and then took out my phone to open the Abyss gallery.

• What is the gallery master doing right now?
• Seems like they’re taking a shower.
• Ah, haha, how did you miss this broadcast, workaholic?
• Looks like the teacher sings while taking a shower too.
• A gallery of legends broadcasting the sound of a woman washing up from Thursday morning.

“Hmm.”

I could roughly guess why people were mumbling. While I was quietly eavesdropping on the gallery and chuckling, someone admitted it.

• Teacher, these guys were listening to the sound of your shower and enjoying it, and stuff like that. “Really?” [Why would you say that?]

[You’re so shameless;;]

[Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!]

[It felt like ASMR listening to it.]

[But… it was the room master who tempted first.]

[Broadcasting a shower cast from the morning, that’s too provocative.]

“Shower cast? What is that?”

The chat room stirred for a moment.

In that moment, I caught the common words being used and deduced the meaning.

So, it means letting people listen to the sound of someone showering. There’s even a specific term for this culture.

“I didn’t intend to… Shower cast? I ended up broadcasting it. I didn’t know that existed….”

[Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!]

[This is really too shady, I don’t even know what to say.]

[In a different sense, you’re being MZ.]

[It wasn’t MZ, it was shady ᄏᄏᄏᄏ.]

[Is this normal for a women’s chat room?]

[It’s fine even if you’re misandrist.]

It seemed like a somewhat exaggerated reaction to me.

“This is my first time broadcasting and showering. You want me to be careful? But no, I wasn’t really shocked or anything.”

Of course, I just learned that there’s a term for this and that some people like it.

I’ve also spent a long time in the internet world, so I kind of understand men’s psychology.

I didn’t react like they might have expected, like, ‘Ugh! This is so uncomfortable! These perverts!’

I’ll check the replay after the broadcast to make sure, though.

Still, since I haven’t heard anything from the two editors who constantly monitor my stream, it seems like there’s no problem.

[You’re so kind-hearted.]

[ᄅᄋᄏᄏ In other rooms, people would freak out.]

[If this happened in another room, you’d be banned immediately.]

[Seriously, there’s no room more lenient than Kayak’s.]

[Except for insults about Camila and other severe curses, and sexual harassment… everything is allowed.]

[Among the women’s streamers, it’s the best.]

Not wanting the mood to get too tense, I added one more comment.

“If I were a guy, I don’t think I could resist. How could you resist when you get to listen to the sound of such a beautiful woman showering for free?”

[What?]

[She called herself pretty…]

[??? : I think Camilla’s chest has gotten a bit smaller. How do I know? Because she’s my girlfriend.]

[Kayak-nim, even your narcissism is cute, haha.]

[If you fuel the fantasies of your devoted fans like this…]

[Riri kept praising you as one of the rarest beauties in the world…]

[Why not open a VIP channel and charge people just to listen?]

[These days, many people use platforms like Likee or Patreon.]

“Hmm… but that’s a bit much.

Do people really make a lot of money from that?

Still, it’s not like I’m in desperate need of money, so I don’t think I’d do it.

I only ended up streaming while showering today because I started the broadcast early.”

I outright rejected their suggestion to go even further and sell recordings of my shower sounds.

Letting the sounds slip out

After that whole commotion, I was chatting with the viewers when—

• Teacher, just now,
  KayakTube hit 10,000 subscribers.

“10,000 subscribers?”

I heard some exciting news.
