CH 39

Chapter 39. [Quiz Variety]

I had been calling Angu-ogu behind the scenes often.

So I didn’t feel like a month had passed since our last collaboration.

>! ? ! ? ! ?

>Too much tete?

>Lovey-dovey like a pigeon (U.S.)

<<It’s about time, so let’s open the door. Lastly, do you have any promotions from Ogu?>>

<<There is. I’ll be having my “Birthday Celebration 3D Live” soon!>>

<<Huuuuuuh! I’ve been waiting for it!!!>>

>Fuuuuuu! I’ve been waiting! (U.S.)

>Yeah! (U.S.)

>Iroha-chan’s reaction is the same as ours. (U.S.)

<<The schedule is like this.” Here is the schedule in Japan time. Please come and see us, Japanese minna!”>>

>I leave it to you

>I’ll be there for sure!

>I’m looking forward to it!

<<This is all the advertising from me. Anything from Iroha?>>

<<I’m still in the process of preparing a new costume! The release date hasn’t been decided yet, but please look forward to it~>>

>Seriously? (U.S.)

>Eh, what a new costume!?

>Today’s advertisement is too gorgeous! (U.S.)

<<Well, I guess that’s all the publicity we have…>>

<<Iroha’s birthday is in April, right?>>

<<Yes, yes. That’s the day I join with Ah-nee and Ogu for the first time. I wasn’t a VTuber yet, I was just a helper. But even so, I think the moment I was born as a VTuber was that day when I talked to Oogu for the first time.>>

<<……Oh.>>

<<Ah~! Ohgu is so shy! >>

<<Shut up!>>

>Teteee

>Teteee (U.S.)

>Okay, do more (U.S.)

<<Today’s delivery is over! “Otsukare-ta-, arige-ta-!”>>

<< Yes yes. Well then, everyone, “Otsukare-ta-, arige-ta-!>>

>Otsukare-ta-.

>Otsukare-ta-. (U.S.)

>Otsukare-ta-. (U.S.)

＊　　＊　　＊

I finish the stream and remove my headphones.

A sigh of release escapes me.

“3D models, huh?”

This is what I heard from the manager of Angu-ogu.

I heard there was a plan to have me participate in Ang-ogu’s 3D live performance.

However, I could only send them a congratulatory message because I didn’t have a 3D model.

As expected, even if I prepare a 3D model now, it won’t be in time.

“The range of things I can do is different, huh? I think I understand now why my sister was angry with me.”

In my case, I have the problem of not being able to sing, anyway.

Even if you subtract that, it’s still

And it’s not just the cost of new costumes and 3D models.

There is still not enough money for singing and dance lessons and equipment.

I am amazed at how expensive the VTuber business is.

It was a reality that I could not have understood just by listening to the story as a viewer.

And most of all, I have to earn money for my memberships!

“It’s a fixed monthly expense of 50,000 yen to promote 100 people. It’s a hard world.”

In recent years, the yen has been depreciating rapidly, and the dollar has been strengthening due to political instability.

MyTube has been heavily affected by this.

Recently, the price of MyTube has been revised.

Now it is especially bad when you send a superchat from an AIPhone.

Let’s consider the case of throwing a yellow superchat.

The minimum yellow super chat from AIPhone is 1,600 yen.

Appole tax is 600 yen.

MyTube tax is 300 yen.

And they need to deduct income tax from it.

After throwing 1,600 yen, the streamer will have only 400 yen left.

In other words, the streamer may receive only one-fourth of the amount I threw.

Although not included in the calculations, there are other expenses as equipment and composition fees.

If they belong to a company. They also have to pay their share.

It’s a very difficult world.

Don’t get me wrong. It is not necessarily the fault of those who raised the prices.

It is not anyone’s fault, but everyone is suffering.

Well, in my case, I’m throwing more of that income as spacha and membership fees.

In a way, I’m paying double taxes to MyTube-san!

At that moment, I received a message with a pikon.

What? What is it? What is this?

“–Invitation to a quiz project?”

It was an invitation to a certain famous VTuber project.

＊　　＊　　＊

“So, here we go, the VTuber quiz variety show! Here are today’s solvers.”

“”””Yes!””””

“Please introduce yourself from one end to the other!”

Hello. [My words will reach you!] I’m Iroha, the Translator Girl.”

>Iroharo!

>Iroharo!

>Iroha-chan, come!

“So, the first solver is Iroha-chan, the Translator Girl. She is a real elementary school student who is very fluent in languages. I would like to ask all the adults to do their best not to lose to her. Do you have any enthusiasm for Iroha-chan?”

“I am so happy to be invited to this program! I have watched all the past episodes! I will do my best today!”

And so the quiz variety show began!
