I am Smart

---

“Hmph. Yeah, that’s right. I’m a High-Ability Person. From now on, please call me High-Ability Person.”

―――

LOL

Yay

High-Ability Person, LOL

Yes, High-Ability Person, LOL

Self-High-Ability Person declaration, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

―――

“……?”

It feels like something is off.

“Anyway, now that I’ve certified as a High-Ability Person, no one can say I’m not smart.”

―――

Sure thing

Yeah

Yep

LOL

Yeah

LOL

Sure thing

Even if my words are a bit weird, it doesn’t seem like I’m totally clueless.

Yeah

―――

O.O has donated 1,000 won.

But it seems there’s some intelligence behind the nonsense ㅇㅇ has a good memory.

―――

I agree

Honestly, she’s not a complete airhead.

I agree

I agree

Hmm…

For real

If she were a total airhead, she’d have no physical ability either.

Is that true?

I agree

―――

Then suddenly, the chat starts pouring in. It’s the complete opposite of the vibe from before.

Something, like, reminds me of small frogs croaking.

“…… You’re nice. Much more than our first meeting.”

―――

Yay

Yeah

Thanks to you, I’ve calmed down…

I love you

Yay

Say more like that…

―――

O.O has donated 1,000 won.

Don’t like these guys. They’re just the kind of idiots who enjoy bullying female streamers and VTubers in recreational sports.

―――

What?

Get out

Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up

Honestly, I admit it.

It’s my first time watching a female stream, damn.

But you enjoyed it too.

Not all the people here are from the broadcasting-related gallery, LOL.

LOL recreational sports, gotcha.

Sorry, sorry.

For real, they are silently chatting while watching, whoa whoa whoa.

I’m in repentance…

These guys were trash-talking Squirrel Moon Si-hyun just a week ago, LOL.

―――

“……”

Wait, I remembered my past self.

“Everyone makes mistakes. I think it’s good if you acknowledge your wrongs. It would be even better if you apologize to the person involved.”

―――

Yay

Whoa

Are you a saint?

You’re really something, sis.

Yay…

After seeing this, I opened the door and went to apologize to Mom.

Sis…

―――

I spoke again, and yay, whoa, various exclamations followed.

Isn’t this a bit over the top?

“…… Pff.”

A slight laugh slipped out. What is this?

―――

I laughed.

So cute…

Virgin laugh, whoa.

How precious.

Just smile for me one more time.

Why are you laughing?

―――

“I didn’t laugh.”

So even such things can be heard.

Time passed, and it became late at night. I leaned against the handles of the VR treadmill for a moment.

―――

Maybe it’s time to end the stream.

It was fun.

Stream more often, please.

Play Fiore.

―――

The chat on the screen kept rising. Most were friendly towards me.

“……”

Seeing those letters brought a lingering feeling. And then, another unfamiliar emotion surfaced.

It felt similar to how I felt when looking at dolls and animals.

I believed only my body had changed; my mind remained the same.

So there was a word I had never consciously used with anyone.

… Still.

“…… Viewers… um, um…”

―――

?

What is it?

?

?

―――

“…… A little cute.”

This much should be okay, right?

The moment I said it, my face suddenly heated up.

The chat flew up in an instant. I didn’t read it.

―――

– “Gallery Master”

(tlgus123 profile capture)

―――

– So funny

– I worship her… Personality GOAT

– It’s been clear she’s been raised right for a long time now.

– Great at games, has a lovely voice, nice personality, great academic background.

Wait, academic background?

But is she pretty?

If she is, that’s really broken, but I’d like that.

If she were pretty, she would have revealed her face, LOL.

Is there nowhere that her identity might come out… I’m so curious.

―――

– Nicknames until now for Moon Si-hyun.

Beast girl, airhead girl, High-Ability Person.

You bastards…

―――

– LMAO

– The moment she declared herself a High-Ability Person was legendary.

So innocent…

– Looking just at the nicknames, you’d wonder what kind of girl she is.

– Right from the first broadcast, her character is clear, LOL.

– Airhead girl is the most amusing.

I’m the beast girl…

―――

– How was Moon Si-hyun’s broadcast?

I was busy with something, didn’t see.

– It ended without major incidents.

I’d say she started really solid for the first time.

– But those who started by attracting attention on DC usually don’t end well, so I’m worried.

– Since she has her own beliefs, I think she’ll do well ㅇㅇ just be careful not to get rattled by the DC trolls.

– Her subtle manipulation skills are top-notch.

No doubt about it.

– She’s totally mediating the fights between the VTubers and others.

– That unconscious female nurturing vibe is really appealing…

– Her last comments will surely remain in our hearts.

– For real.

– It’s a totally new flavor.

―――

– Moon Si-hyun: Viewers are cute.

(Moon Si-hyun’s clip)

Yay…

– Iluwahhhhhhhhhhhh

– I don’t know why, but it’s kind of touching.

I’ve never heard such words from a girl who’s not family…

– Despite those trolls acting up, they still call her cute.

– Really innocent, for real.

– Iluwahhhhhhhhhhh

– But looking at what she said right before this clip, it seems she really enjoys being told she’s smart.

No doubt.

– You’re cuter, girl.

– I want to cherish her.

– I, I declare to switch to her.

Can I consider her as a VTuber?

―――

– Moon Si-hyun debuted as a broadcaster??

She’s not a cam-tuber??

She’s friendly with VTubers?? So she’s practically a VTuber then??

Then…

(Various sexual harassment posts captured)

She must be targeted, right??

– No, don’tㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Die die die die die die die

– Protect Si-hyunㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕ

– Are you even human?

– Not this one, you bastard.

―――

– Honestly, I don’t wanna praise her sexually.

Wow, if you don’t even know the High-Ability Person memes,

Looking at the way she talks, she seems totally clueless about the internet.

That’s why I feel so guilty…

―――

– For real.

– Like it’s wrong to teach this kid bad words.

Yeah, that’s exactly the vibe.

– I just deleted a sexual praise comment I wrote until just now.

– For real, it feels like I’m committing a sin.

– Sexual harassment is something you shouldn’t do at all, you crazy bastards.

– For real, I was nodding along until I got the chills.

– Wow, so this is the influx, huh? What’s with the sexual praise, you crazy people.

– For real, let’s not do that…

―――

– Moon Si-hyun seems like she wouldn’t even notice if you subtly touched her chest or butt…

Even if you touched her a bit,

If you apologized and said, “Oh, that was a mistake,” she might let it slide.

―――

– ?

– Damn, LOL, the post above said not to do sexual harassment, LOL.

– LOL

– ??

– LOLLLLLLLLLLLL oh damn.

– What the hell is this? Please tell me it’s a template.

– You’re crazy for this.

– You bastards, I said no sexual harassment.

– Crazy dude.

– Honestly, I feel like I get what you mean.

– Gross.

– Damn, I’m sorry, girlㅠㅠ (hitting the thumbs up)

– Of all places, getting involved with this gallery… at least the neighboring gallery isn’t this bad.

―――

– If she’s a cute girl <<< Virgin gets tons of thumbs up. (tlgus123 profile) - So funny. - She probably hasn’t even held hands with anyone. - But at this level of intelligence, she’s probably already been taken. Wait, what? Yeah, I think I can figure it out. She's a Korean university High-Ability Person, don’t start bullying her. ――― - But isn't it for real Korean university? (Clip of Moon Si-hyun answering any questions after donations) They say she’s an airhead, but how does she know all that? - Any elementary school kid could memorize that, why’s everyone making a fuss about it? LOL. - Just asked a question, it's impressive she knows that much. - Seriously, what is she memorizing Socrates’ birthday for? - There shouldn't even be any tests that require you to know such things. - I feel like she must have had an education though. - But why didn't she solve the math problems for real? - Wasn’t there any mention of academic background or proof? - Yeah, since after that, it was all unconscious feminine vibes. ――― - What’s the average for personal streams? .jpg Let’s find out. (Clip of Moon Si-hyun stretching, moments of her gently stroking herself while worried from donations, showing off her sounds from playing Fiore) *

(Pepe making a disgusted face)

Ah… she really isn’t just some annoying troll…

Then what about reactions to this kind of crap?

*

(A multitude of comments requesting people to send it to them)

(Pepe looking straight into the camera)

……

Ah… just……

(Pepe kicking out a creepy dude)

“The root of low birthrate”

– Damn, LOL.

– This is a bit…

– LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

– Damn, even Han Nam is out.

– Ugh.

– That’s revolting.

– We should ban that kind of thing, it’s disgusting.

– This bastard has both his username and that email aligned, what’s up with that?

– So if I email, I’d get a response?

– Honestly, I’d like to hear about her petting…

[Hey sis, great job on the stream!]
As soon as the stream ended, Lee Da-ram called me. She asked me how the broadcast was and shared various tips about streaming.

[…… Wow. 549 total viewers and 40,000 won in donations… I told you, sis, you really have talent.]
“I’m not sure if it went well or not, but…”

As I said that, I was slightly surprised by the total donations. I had received so much.

The people who donated last time even said I could just keep the donations, so the actual amount received is probably even more.

[Oh, come on. Just being able to speak calmly in front of hundreds of people is already a talent. Besides, the viewers were all having fun during the broadcast. I know because I kept watching.]

Lee Da-ram chuckled and continued.

[So, sis, how did the viewers seem? Given the nature of the influx, they were a bit rougher than other streams. Is it okay?]

“I was fine.”

I’m not weak on that front. Plus, Fiore was much worse than this.

… And then.

I briefly recalled the chat that listened well even while arguing.

“Everyone felt surprisingly cute to me.”

The second word came out a bit more naturally than before.

[…… Hmm.]

Lee Da-ram was quiet for a while after I spoke.

“Um, I’m getting a bit sleepy. I think I’ll go to bed soon.”

I said that while slightly holding back a yawn.

[Okay, got it.]

Lee Da-ram said quietly.

“Yeah.”

[…… Sis.]

The moment I took the phone from my ear, her voice came through.

“Yes?”

[…… What about me?]

“…… Huh?”

It was a sudden question.

“…… Um.”

If she’s a high school student, she must be in that age where she cares a lot about others. So, did she ask because she was concerned?

Lee Da-ram, cute. I briefly thought about her.

Given her looks and personality, most people would likely think so.

“…… I’m not very good at saying that to girls.”

[What! So you do say that to guys!?]

I could hear her startled voice through the phone.

“Ah, no, I don’t mean that… I just, just am like this.”

It’s a bit hard to explain, saying it’s because of the concept I had in the past. I just mumbled.

[…… Don’t tell me you’re not close to guys…?]

“Sorry, what?”

[No? It’s nothing. Go to bed quickly. You must be tired.]

The next morning, I went for my jog as usual. Today I ran at the public athletic field.

Not long after, the alarm went off saying I had finished 5 km. I gradually slowed down to a stop.

“Haah…”

As I completely stopped, a refreshing breeze blew and cooled off my sweat. I glanced at my watch.

“Wow.”

I had definitely run faster than before. My stamina has improved as well. It’s quite amazing that my physical abilities are better than when I was a guy.

I took a seat in a corner for a moment and rested, watching the guys kicking and running. But it seemed like a little friction was happening.

I stared blankly at it while momentarily thinking about broadcasting.

While browsing Pazzk for research on personal streaming, I found that most popular streamers either revealed their faces or, like Lee Da-ram, were VTubers. No one like me, who didn’t have a picture or a face revealed at all.

Thanks to Lee Da-ram’s advice and my own discomfort with showing my face.

I then naturally thought about becoming a VTuber. I have some draft designs I’ve considered personally.

…Just as I was pondering, an unexpected soccer ball rolled toward me.

When I looked at where it came from, several guys from the soccer field were looking at me. They looked like high school students from a glance.

“Hey, sister~! Please kick it over here!”

The male student who met my gaze waved his hand and shouted loudly.

I looked down at the soccer ball at my feet. Then I glanced over at the students in front of me. It was a bit too far to walk over to pass it.

… I’ve never kicked a ball before. But it’s not close enough that I could roll it with my hand and reach.

I don’t know. If it doesn’t work, I can go back and get it myself.

I stepped back from one of the male students, then kicked the ball with my right foot.

The soccer ball soared in a beautiful arc. Then, it landed softly at the feet of the male student I aimed for.

“Wow! Whoa! What was that!? Did you see that!?”

The boy with the loud voice and other students gasped, then suddenly turned to huddle together and started whispering.

Then they nodded to each other and turned their heads to look at me simultaneously.

And they waved their hands again, saying.

“Hey, sister~! Would you like to play soccer with us for a bit? We have extra spots~!”
