Chapter 25. [I’m Not Tone-Deaf]

I sighs, “Geez”, to viewers who have started playing with stamps.

“That’s what you guys used as a toy, it was hard to prepare, right? To be specific, Ah-nee gave me money, Ah-nee introduced me to an illustrator, and Ah-nee persuaded me to use my pocket money as bait, so it finally came true. ”

>I’m sorry, but it’s all Anego.

>Anego, you’ve been working so hard behind the scenes. ww

>Why are you even asking for an allowance? www

Well, it’s mostly because of Ah-nee.

I had no money, no connections, and was about to give up, but she saved me. She has been a big help to me ever since my debut.

“Thanks to the allowance I received from Ah-nee, I was able to sign up for the membership of my favorite idol, and I’m so happy! I’ve been so busy because of her.”

>Why are you looking down on her when she’s done everything for you? www

>You still watch VTuber. www

>Iroha-chan can only be spoiled by Anego straight. ww

“I’m not spoiled by her! But well, I’d like to give something back to Ah-nee when I get my first earnings. Oh, off the record to Ah-nee! Promise! Don’t pigeonhole me!”

>Okay.

>I love surprises like this. Keep them coming!

>Great little sister, this one.

“Also, let me just say this. Just because I don’t do it doesn’t mean I’m denying it. It’s a rarity that you can see the side of VTubers that we usually hide. It’s hard to replace anything! If you have the money, by all means, please become a member and watch the limited stream even if it’s just once!”

>[Welcome to membership!]

>[Welcome to membership!]

>[Welcome to membership!]

“Why are you becoming my member now? I told you my stream is not limited to members! Oh, well, I don’t appreciate it!”

>I appreciate the tsundere of the little girl.

>Iroha-chan is my idol, so I can’t help it.

>If you want to thank me, you can sing me a song.

“Hey, the guy who just asked me to sing! I’ll remember your name! You’re the one who’s always asking me to sing!”

>Sing a song!

>Sing!

>Sing a song stream.♡

“Geez! There’s more! Eh? Soundtrack? No, well, there is. Oh, gosh, okay, just one song, just one song, okay? Let’s see. The audio file is at ……”

Damn. “I wish I could have said, “I can’t because I don’t have the sound file.”, but alas, I do.

Why do I have it? Because my Ah-nee gave it to me!

I refused to give in to her because I don’t stream songs, but she forced me to get it from her.

Damn, I didn’t expect this!

“As expected, I won’t sing while translating this time, okay? It’s just a normal Japanese song. Okay then..”

The music begins to play.

Take a deep breath and correct your posture. The intro ends.

I took a deep breath and sent my voice into the microphone――.

* * * *

“…… let’s see…”

>Stomach hurts! wwww

>After all, isn’t it a bar reading?

>Was this a slow song project?

“Oh no! I’m not supposed to be this tone-deaf……!”

The last time I sang an English song, I ended up reading it out loud, probably due to my translation skills.

So this time, I chose a Japanese song to prevent that from happening, even though I thought I had.

What on earth is this? What is this frustration I feel when I sing?

It’s as if I’m translating from Japanese to Japanese. Or, it’s as if I’m translating something else into the language.

No, there is no use thinking about it now.

I must first clear up the misunderstanding!

“No, no, guys! Believe me! I can sing better than this! There’s no way I can only sing my idol’s song this badly!”

>Oh, yeah, right? www

>I’m relieved you’re not so good at something too, Iroha-chan. wwww

>Well, it’s important to have the courage to admit what you can’t do when you can’t do it. ^^

“No! I am–“

From that day on, I added to the “tone-deaf attribute”.

I’m unwilling!

Furthermore, Ah-nee even asked me, “Do you want me to introduce you to a voice training teacher I know?”

I could only nod in silence. Damn, that was so frustrating…

In the meantime, the summer vacation was coming to an end.

The schedule adjustments and preparations with the VTubers who were to participate in the event were completed. 

Finally, the big summer event was about to begin.

I’m not talking about Comiket, okay?

Free research during summer vacation.

It’s time to unveil the “VTubers Summer Grand Presentation”!
