Three types of people usually caught attention at the Treevy Awards ceremony's red carpet.
The first type included streamers with bizarre fashion who were akin to attention-seeking clowns. The second were those who normally streamed in casual tracksuits and decided to dress up for once. The third were individuals originally from modeling or idol backgrounds who shined even more in such settings.
StrawberryShooter walking forward would probably be categorized into the first type.
"Ah, ah, ah! StrawberryShooter! It was Mr. Strawberry Shooter."
"Ah, is that who it was? I thought some gangster had arrived... because of the clothes..."
The streamers GreenTea and Pickle, who were in charge of the ceremony's overall proceedings, exchanged jokes. They had previously participated in the LIL competition under the name Green Teabagging and achieved disastrously low results considering their ranks.
Above all, Pickle was well-known for his blunt and honest expressions, especially for his famous quote, "It's not a mistake. It must be a beast."
"Ah... I never thought I would see such fashion in a world governed by the theory of relativity..."
"Such fashion would only work in the quantum world!"
— Pickle LOL
— As expected, the man who changed the dictionary
— Pickle, his expression doesn't change while delivering a heavy blow LOL
— Did those two make up? They were fighting and punching each other LOL
— LOL StrawberryShooter FFS
They were tasked with teasing or highlighting the attendees on the red carpet, warming up the event's atmosphere. It seemed like the strategy was to tease StrawberryShooter for his fashion today.
"Not Strawberry Shooter? Come this way."
"Why?"
GreenTea, who had many taunts ready, suddenly found himself speechless as the hefty StrawberryShooter approached.
‘Why is he so big?’
"No... of course, you have to come..."
— LOL
— Body like the Hulk but fashion like Bruce Banner
— ???: Is the person inside this box alive or dead?
— Wow LOL That's harsh
Pickle shouted instead of the frozen GreenTea, "Mr. StrawberryShooter! Did you just fight a person? Why are your clothes all torn!"
— LOL
— ???: No, it’s just the two of them?
— The man who forgot how to fear
— Wow
StrawberryShooter calmly responded despite Pickle's provocation.
"If it's strawberry jam, I did beat some up a little. Bros."
— Strawberry Jam, LOL
— ???: I'll put you inside this.
— So in that world, they call it strawberry jam?
— They're trying to make you smaller? Is that it?
— Bros LOL
The audience joked one after another, seeing the small gesture StrawberryShooter made to express "a little."
"Next, next! Quickly take photos and let's move on~"
StrawberryShooter, after striking numerous poses at the photo zone, finally entered the event venue.
"... Wow, I’m breathless."
GreenTea gasped for air and fanned himself. It was the middle of winter, after all.
"Is this that imposing aura of a conqueror or something... Why is it so scary?"
"What that person is doing seems like beating the courage out of others..."
— Beating courage LOL
— Accurate...
— Fact bot LOL
"Ah. The next one is coming."
GreenTea pointed at the next car. It was a van typically used by celebrities.
"Now, this time~~~~!"
"Who could it be~~~!?"
— Is it a Pokémon LOL
— Did they prepare this? LOL
— Crazy cute
Ziiing.
The door of the van opened.
"!"
"Oh…"
Among the previously mentioned three types, the person getting off now was undoubtedly of this type.
"The type who originally has a glamorous appearance and shines the brightest on such days."
Click.
The tip of a high heel touched the red carpet, revealing a deep rose-colored dress.
Swoosh.
She carefully lifted the hem of her skirt as she exited the car with long flowing black hair, proportions like a character from a virtual world, and a face that seemed to enchant people.
"……!"
Both Pickle and GreenTea stopped breathing. It wasn't just them who almost stopped breathing.
"…"
The reaction on-site came out a beat late.
"Waaaaaaaah!!"
"Unnie!!"
"Sis! Take my liver! I don't even drink alcohol!!"
The ground shook with enormous cheers from both men and women. The chat window of the live stream also erupted into chaos.
— DAMN
— Can't remember who came out before at all
— Wow……
— Wow, the halo effect
The streamer who got out of the car was Miho.
"Hello~!"
She waved cheerfully to her fans as she approached.
— Even her walking while greeting is amazing
— Monthly model
— (Already dead)
— Look how the chat quiets down while admiring her LOL
— Breathtaking
At that moment, the live chat of the awards ceremony watched by hundreds of thousands slowed down.
"Ah, ah… I, I…"
GreenTea, who was supposed to lead the event, couldn't utter a word and stumbled over his speech. No progress was made as Miho walked to the photo zone.
Pickle had completely lost his mind and even dropped the microphone. It wasn't until Miho's manager signaled them that they returned to reality.
"Uh… Ah. Ah. That… Wow! Miho! I, I really blacked out for a moment there and couldn't proceed!"
— LOL
— Blacking out seems likely when BlackTea appears
— This is agreeable
— The real deal must be really something…
"Th-That… Please, take photos!"
Pickle hurriedly came out to escort her.
“Puhahaha.”
Miho, along with the audience, all burst out laughing.
After that, they were fully engrossed in watching her pose at the photo zone. They didn't even notice the next car had arrived.
Thump. Thump.
Pickle had to hit GreenTea's side without saying a word before GreenTea finally turned around.
"Ah. Why."
"The car. Car. The next one has arrived."
"…!?"
Vroom!
A loud noise came from a small green sports car. Knowing exactly whose car it was, GreenTea's expression suddenly hardened.
"…"
— BlackTea appears LOL
— Green Tea's expression is a spoiler LOL
— Girlfriend appears LOL
— In charge of fan service LOL
— So manly to drive there himself without her
BlackTea almost kicked her way out of the driver's seat. She wore a short but comfortable-looking green dress. Her red hair was casually tied into a ponytail and matched well with her typical outfit.
She strode toward GreenTea, who abruptly started yelling out loud.
"Ah, ah! Ahhhhh!!!"
— ???
— Loading insults LOL
— LOL
"The greatest goddess walks among us! Is this Olympus!? Only BlackTea knows the end of this world! Ladies and gentlemen, BlackTea!"
— What's he on about? LOL
— Is Pickle on a vow of silence?
— LOL
— Survival type MC
— Pickle isn’t joining in at all LOL
***
Inside the awards ceremony venue, many streamers had already arrived. Dressed to impress, they wandered around while chatting.
Among them, a man with a plump build and another man with sparkling hair spoke to each other.
"The cheers are pretty loud, but not as much as it was for Miho. Who do you think it is?"
"... Who knows? Why guess?"
"Guess right and win 100,000 won. Bet?"
It was Bubblegum and Takoyaki. They were betting on guessing who the newly arrived person was just by the sound of the cheers.
"Let's make it a progressive tax around one million won."
"That's why you're bald."
"... 100,000 won, deal."
Takoyaki closed his eyes in concentration and said, "Hmm. I think it must be... Creaking?"
"Eh? Creaking? That bald comrade? He's that popular?"
"Probably more than our hair."
Takoyaki stroked his bald head.
"Okay. Then... I'll go with Fire Chicken Noodles."
"... Eh. That's not it, bro."
"Look."
Both of them were wrong as Black Tea walked in through the door with Green Tea, who was supposed to watch as an MC alongside Pickle.
"Ah… I didn't expect BlackTea to be this popular… I didn't calculate getting more cheers by putting GreenTea in a headlock..."
"Bro, ask without asking."
"Deal."
Since both of them were wrong, the next person who guessed correctly would take all the money.
"Oh? Bros. You were here?"
Miho joined them upon discovering them.
"What were you talking about…?"
“Kyaaaaaaa!!”
A shout suddenly drowned out Miho's words. Such a loud reaction from inside the venue had never happened before.
"Wahaha?! This is really big. How about whoever guesses this takes 200,000 won."
"Of course."
"Wow... you're going strong."
Bubblegum and Takoyaki eyed each other, trying to guess who the new person was.
"If it's of this magnitude... it must be CutiePie, right?" Takoyaki said with a dead-serious expression.
"Eh. CutiePie's viewership has dropped a lot."
"Well, that's because she lost the celebrity buff. Her real fans must still be a lot though."
CutiePie was a streamer who was a former female idol. She also won the grand prize at the Treevy Awards last year. She was still a candidate for this year's grand prize, but many speculated she was just an honorary mention.
Her viewership had significantly dropped since then.
"Many are saying CutiePie won't come to the awards."
"Eh? Why? Because of the decrease in her viewers?"
"No, that's not it."
Indeed, it was a common phenomenon among celebrities who started streaming. Initially, their public recognition led to rapid growth, but they would eventually fail to maintain popularity.
Bubblegum thought the person arriving now was more likely to be Zello than CutiePie.
"It could be Zello."
"Zello? It could be. Since he's the most likely candidate for the grand prize... But his fans wouldn't come here screaming and shouting..."
As they debated, Miho raised her hand and wanted to join in.
"Hey! I want in. Let’s bet!"
Her choice was neither Zello nor CutiePie.
"I'm a fan of Almond, bros!"
"Hey. Don't state your personal wishes out loud," Bubblegum sharply retorted and Takoyaki also shook his head.
"Hmm. Our Almond isn't on that level yet, is he?"
They continued to assert that this type of cheering had to belong to a tier one celebrity. At that moment…
"Tier? What... kind of talk is that!?"
Snap!
Takoyaki stepped back in surprise.
"Oh, no... I didn't mean to shout like that..."
"Ah..."
Miho realized late that she had been too loud and scratched her head.
"Oh, it seems my hair didn't turn out well today… That's why I raised my voice, I guess."
However, she continued to defend her stance.
"Anyway, there are tons of Almond fans, bro. Especially since his fans are the type to take action, they must have come here in droves!?"
"Hmm."
Bubblegum stroked his chin as if considering, "Could it be?"
"I'm telling you, I'm right! Let's see who's coming in! Where!?"
"But Miho, even if you win, you'll only get 100,000 won..."
"Oh, I don't care!?"
***
GreenTea ran out from the venue shouting with his hair in disarray, "Ahah! It was Almond! Wow! Sorry for not being the MC for a moment!"
— New skin, Green Lightning Green Tea
— LOL what happened to his hair? LOL
— Did Black Tea beat him up?? LOL
"Even if we had said something, the cheers right now are so loud that our voices wouldn't be heard!"
Pickle was supposed to grab the microphone and speak earlier, but the cheers were so loud that he couldn't speak. He wasn't wrong.
"Almond! Almond! Almond!"
"Stop being so handsome, Almond!!"
"Oppa!!!!"
"Oppa, I'm dying!!!!"
The most enthusiastic cheers of today's red carpet rang out.
Pickle and GreenTea had to proceed with the event as their veins bulged.
"Wow!! The two behind him must be the manager and the main editor, right?! Wow, both of you look great and beautiful!!"
"No way. The editor is a woman!? She's really pretty, right? There must be many people hitting on her!"
"With Almond there, who would dare to hit on them!?"
— LOL for real
— Not when Almond is around~~
— Right LOL Would they even be noticed LOL
— If they start editing for another streamer, they might experience vision impairment LOL
— They're doing a great job proceeding in LOL
While the two MCs exchanged banter at the awards ceremony, Almond's team finished walking on the red carpet and stood at the photo wall.
Flash!
Bang!
Pop!
They stood in front of a barrage of camera flashes from numerous journalists once again.
"Ah~ Mr. Almond!"
GreenTea approached as if he was glad to see him. He extended a microphone toward Almond for an interview.
"You look absolutely great today!"
"Ah, yes. Thank you."
"The manager and editor as well! You’re all shining!"
Ju-Hyeok and Ji-Ah responded with a smile in their eyes. It was difficult to reply since the microphone was far away.
"But... the woman here is the editor, right?"
Ji-Ah nodded slightly, looking shy.
"The reason why the world bowed down in front of Korean archery! Japan shocked by Korea’s archery! Did you create these titles?!"
— LOL
— LOL
— For real
— It’s slightly off
— Her blushing is so cute
"Wow, such professionalism! I've read all those titles! I thought you would come wrapped in the national flag today! Luckily, you came in a very pretty dress! Congratulations on being nominated for the editor award! You may enter now~!"
Sang-Hyeon’s team finally entered the venue.
