Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 75

Chapter 75 – Another Collab Stream (2)

-Ahhhhh

“Well, that…”

“Taeyang, could you turn that off for now?”

Ari, who was covering her eyes, says.

With both hands covering her eyes, she looks cute when you observe her, but…

Now doesn’t seem to be the time to be observing that.

Damn. To think I have to be treated like this because of female characters I don’t even know.

-Phew
-Phew
-The greatest streamer Rete…

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the chat to calm down.

The unfortunate part is…

That in the now-calmed chat, suggestions to do a male character World Cup for anime naturally started appearing.

And that those suggestions quickly became the majority opinion.

“No, isn’t doing male characters a bit much?”

-What’s wrong with that?
-Female character terrorism is okay then?
-A terrorist has no right to speak????
-Na*….
-rak*¹….

This is driving me crazy.

But Ari has been keeping quiet without expressing any particular opinion since earlier.

“Don’t you think so, Rete? Couldn’t we do something else besides a character World Cup?”

“Um… Well, it’s fine to do whatever you want, since I don’t know much about it anyway…”

-What betrayal is this
-Why can’t you say you want to see muscular male characters!!!
-Rete… can no longer… be a real woman…
-Rete’s in a virtual marriage with Geum Taeyang so she can’t go wild for real lolol

Hmm. I should have thought this through more before doing the World Cup.

Though everyone’s probably just joking in chat, I don’t feel good about causing Ari’s public opinion to waver because of me.

Right, isn’t it true that a real man must overcome trials!

Even if they’re male characters, I just don’t want to see them, but ruining the stream atmosphere because of that would be a bad choice.

Let’s die once today.

“This will be the last time seeing male characters on my stream. Enjoy the finale.”

-That
-rak
-ㅠㅠㅠ
-Justice will prevail!!!

-Left
-Just shut up and go left
-Left go go
-LOL they even included a character like that LOL

The ideal type World Cup format involves choosing one of two photos that appear side by side.

On the left was some creature that looked like a gisaeng’s brother.

On the right was…

Hmm. It seems I had some major misunderstandings about this world’s subculture. To think there were such cool characters.

How should I describe this.

The design reminds me of Ronnie Coleman, a bodybuilder I saw in my previous world, wearing armor on that kind of body.

Though this is a reversed world, to me this is what a man and male character should be. The guy on the left looks like he’d break if you poked him.

Looking at the chat, I clicked right as if it was obvious.

-?
-?
-What’s with that misclick LOL
-Why can’t you handle the mouse properly LOL

“What was that character’s name just now? I really love the design. He looks so handsome?”

-Wow doesn’t even know Sakurai
-Isn’t he super famous?
-Even people who don’t like anime know him

“What’s that about, I was asking about the one I picked.”

-?
-?
-?
-?

The broadcast already had thousands gathered thanks to Ari’s influence.

The parade of question marks soon ended and was replaced by tremendous backlash flooding the chat.

“Yeah. That’s my type. What did you think, Rete? Did you like the left one too?”

“Eh?! No! I… I also… liked the one you chose…”

-?
-?
-?

We’re really seeing a lot of question marks today. If Ari agrees then that’s that, no need for many words.

Well, it’s not a big deal. Actually, compared to the earlier terrorism, this is closer to an amusing happening so it’s easier to control the chat.

I continued the World Cup while ignoring the viewers’ opinions.

Unfortunately there were no more characters similar to that muscular character named ‘Robert’ from earlier but…

Still, our brother Robert crushed numerous pretty boys, before heroically falling in the round of 32 due to viewer opposition.

Anyway, since I’m unfamiliar with this world’s subculture and my standards are set differently, my evaluations seemed to be unexpectedly entertaining for viewers as the content flowed quite smoothly.

Though Ari seemed quite hesitant to evaluate the characters, just conversing with me was enough to raise the broadcast’s entertainment value so it didn’t matter.

The most fortunate point was that the male characters weren’t wearing as revealing outfits as I had expected.

Of course, that’s not to say there was no exposure, but it wasn’t unbearable.

“Rete, are male characters’ clothes usually this normal? Is this the trend?”

“U-um? I don’t really know about trends… But to say it’s normal is a bit…”

“Ah come on. You’ve only seen tame stuff so that’s why you think that. This level I could even cosplay.”

“…Huh?”

“Eh. What’s wrong?”

“Cosplay…?”

-Isn’t this level plenty sexy
-What kind of stuff have you been looking at…
-Bitchy way of thinking LOL
-Where is this normal?

There were certainly many characters designed for sex appeal, and some characters where you’d wonder why they were stripped like that but…

Honestly, in my original world, wasn’t it common for men to be shirtless on TV? If anything, there were stricter standards about female exposure.

Japan was more liberal in that aspect too.

Maybe it’s because the standards for male exposure are different from my original world. From my perspective, this level of exposure didn’t feel particularly extreme.

“Why is this considered… sexy? Don’t you guys usually see more revealing stuff?”

-Any more revealing and it would be porn
-Your way of thinking is completely different hehe
-Virgin bitchy legendary LOL

“What’s going on? Rete…”

“Cosplay…”

“Huh?”

What’s wrong with her now. She’s repeating the same word with a blank expression.

Is she shocked because of the cosplay talk from earlier?

Or does Ari like cosplay?

It seems too grand to call it cosplay though.

The fashion state of the characters appearing now is at a level where you could easily find similar clothes just by walking around a bit.

Isn’t wearing that considered cosplay?

“What’s wrong? Want to see me cosplay?”

As usual. I smiled and made a light joke with a chuckle.

“U-um?!”

-The host is going to cosplay?
-?
-For real?
-Ultimate paradise

Of course, the reaction was a bit different from what I expected.

It was just one joke but why are they like this.

“C-cosplay doesn’t seem like something you’d like…”

“No, it was a joke. But wasn’t wearing our school uniforms kind of like that?”

-School uniforms?
-???
-When?

“When did we wear them? Yesterday at the amusement park.”

-Hell hell
-Worst streamer ever Rete
-Why did only Rete get to see that?????
-Isn’t the school uniform date the important part?
-Ah LOL so that’s why you said you didn’t like We Got Married LOL

Just spoke without thinking but getting such extreme reactions.

Usually you should think before speaking, was this my mistake? But can’t friends just wear school uniforms and hang out?

-Show us too!!!!!!
-We Got Married fans get out that’s not important right now
-Come wearing the uniform right now
-If not that then do cosplay
-Cosplay good
-Cos
-play

Hmm. As much as this is a reversed world, I understand wanting to see men in special outfits, but why do they like school uniforms so much?

Crazy pedophiles. No, since pedophile is too much, let’s say they’re attracted to minors.

“That was too tight so I’m not planning to wear it again.”

-Tight? Rete saw that?
-Rete please be careful at night
-Ahhhhh
-Then at least prepare cosplay
-For real if you can’t even do that much that’s not right
-If you did something wrong you should at least do this much for real

Good lord. I didn’t notice when making overt sex jokes normally, but looking at it now, the viewers’ chat seems very perverse.

Aren’t there more of Ari’s viewers here? Why is everyone acting like this?

The chat starts burning up.

They weren’t like this even when my pick ‘Robert’ beat apparently popular characters earlier.

As someone still lacking broadcast experience, I couldn’t think of an appropriate response so I muted my mic and spoke to Ari.

“Ari, this…”

“No school uniforms!”

“Huh?”

“School uniforms… th-that won’t work…!”

No, I already said I wasn’t planning to.

“Was it that weird?”

“No! That’s not it…”

She denies it with a red face.

This is why teasing Ari is fun.

“Hehe. It’s fine, I wasn’t planning to wear the uniform. I’m just wondering if we can calm down the viewers since they’re acting weird.”

“Hmm…”

After thinking for a moment, Ari’s response was.

“J-just. How about saying you’ll do cosplay…?”

“Eh. Nothing else?”

“The m-mood is too bad… Wouldn’t it be easiest to just pick any comfortable character and say you’ll do it?!”

She seems uncomfortable with the idea of cosplay itself.

Damn. I shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place it seems.

Such a sudden suggestion. Though it’s more forced than a suggestion but anyway.

Cosplay…

“And if we do a cosplay broadcast we could probably get quite a bit of money, and it would be good for viewer growth too…”

While I was deep in thought, Ari revealed an incredible fact.

Why didn’t I think of that? Money aside, viewer growth is really important.

Plus looking at these characters’ fashion state, cosplay likely won’t be too burdensome.

Then isn’t this cheap compared to broadcast growth? We can even upload it to NewTube.

Though I’m unhappy about characters looking like gisaeng’s brothers but that can’t be helped.

Hmm.

Oh.

As expected of Korea University Business School.

###

-They really look like a couple when acting like this
-Turn on the mic!!!
-School uniform!!!
-Cos!!!
-Ahh!!!!!

“Hello, hello. Can you hear me?”

-Yes yes yes cos!!
-Please!!!!!

“No, wait a bit I’m talking.”

-Okay
-H,,

“Rete was asking about doing a cosplay broadcast, what do you all think?”

-Rete… we made a big mistake….
-The leader of this era Rete
-The future of 20s Rete
-Greatest streamer ever Rete

What an incredible reaction. What’s so good about it?

“Crazy…. Anyway, I’m going to pick one from the remaining World Cup characters. Someone with comfortable clothes.”

-Where did Sakurai-kun goㅠㅠ
-Ah damn Matsuda just got eliminated
-Reinhold held on well!!! Please win!!!

Names I’ve never heard before come up.

Seems they’re cheering for their favorite characters.

Hmm. But.

Come to think of it, is this right?

Hmm.

“Hey guys.”

-??
-?
-Don’t say you won’t do it

“Won’t it be weird if I do cosplay?”

-?
-?
-?

This tanning hasn’t changed even with time passing, I have piercings because I like them, and I don’t plan to dye my hair just for cosplay.

If I get a pure love male protagonist…

Won’t it create a really weird atmosphere?

The chat stopped for a moment.

And when it started moving again.

-Ah~~~Sakurai round 1 elimination so sweet~~
-Robert!!! Thank you!!!
-Ah wait
-Maybe cosplay isn’t g=ood let’s st=op
-What’s Reinhold doing not getting eliminated!!!!!!!!
-Please s=ave my life
-Not my bias pl=ease
-Who’s the bastard slandering Robert

A scene from hell was unfolding there.

(End of chapter)

T.N. 1. They are saying Narak or hell in Sanskrit.

What are they fussing about? I mean, if a gyaru did ‘sweet girls’ cosplay, I would really dig that.
