Chapter 314: [The Purpose Of Game Streaming]
“YAHOOO! WOOHOOO! YAY!!!!”
≫Ilyesha, calm down www
≫She’s freaking out, so funny
≫Well, I totally get how she feels!
“Well, I actually wanted to decline, but if I didn’t, it looked like I would have to face the international VTuber event without a solo song. That would have been problematic, or so the management said.”
≫Of course, the management would be in trouble www
≫So, you finally couldn’t avoid singing anymore w
≫Until now, we only had a few singing streams and fan-made ‘Boyiroid’ songs to console us, so I’m happy
“Exactly! I’ve checked all the ‘Boyiroid’ songs that were released so far, but nothing compares to having an original solo song...”Rêađ latest chapters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)com
“Wait, is that what they’re called? It’s the first time I’ve heard that! Actually, for this composition, we asked the producer who made those ‘Boyiroid’ songs. To be precise, he reached out to us, saying, ‘Let me compose it.’”
“Really!? Well done, Producer-san!”
“And because of that connection, there are some surprises in the song? The PV will be released soon, so please look forward to it~”
“HAAAIIII!!!”
“That’s a very enthusiastic response. And finally! In the demo version, it’s not implemented yet... or rather, it doesn’t appear, but in the official release, there will be a secret character in the gacha?”
“We haven’t been informed of the details either. It’s very exciting!”
≫Seriously! How much effort is being put into this collaboration?
≫Who could the secret character be?
≫I’m so jealous... I can only play the Japanese and English versions (Ukrainian)
“Oh...”
A comment in Ukrainian catches my eye.
I see, many of Ilena’s fans are from Ukrainian or Russian-speaking regions, but this game is not available there yet...
But this isn’t a problem that can be solved overnight.
As I hesitate, Ilena declares confidently,
“It’s okay!”
She says with a voice full of confidence and compassion.
“That’s why my streams exist, for people like that!”
“...!”
I had never thought of it that way.
Game streaming isn’t just about enjoying someone’s reactions.
It’s about sharing the fun with people who can’t play the game for various reasons.
Ilena said she became a VTuber because she admired me, but she was already paving her own path, far ahead or perhaps in a different direction from mine.
“But as for me... I still want people to learn the language and play the game themselves! So, Iroha-sama, if you don’t mind... could we do a language-learning stream together!?”
“Of course!”
“Why that choice!? Anyway, let’s focus on the language stream first... When’s your next free time?”
“Please wait a moment. I’ll send my schedule.”
“Got it. Once we align our schedules and are ready, we’ll announce it to everyone. So, that’s it for today’s stream!”
“Iroha-sama, Iroha-sama!”
“Hmm?”
«I love you!»
“Cough, cough!?”
“And that’s a wrap! See you~!”
“‘See otsuka-re-ta arige-ta-’!”
≫A satisfying stream with many announcements for the big event
≫Iroha-chan got flustered www
≫See you later & goodbye! (Ukrainian)
“Ah, Ilena, you got me at the end.”
I muttered after the stream ended.
Caught off guard, I choked a bit.
After checking the schedule Ilena sent, I conveyed my available days.
She immediately replied, “Understood!”
I’ve said it countless times, but being an independent VTuber has its strengths.
With corporate VTubers, especially recently with Angauge, there are many ‘tentative’ plans like [We’ll record on one of these days!], making it hard to collaborate.
“Language stream, huh...”
I noticed myself smiling unconsciously.
Apparently, I was really looking forward to collaborating with Ilena.
***
The next day after such a game promotion stream.
«Iroha... I love you»
«No... Ogu, not there... stop, ah!?≫
As I was being teased by Angu Ogu in the living room, which had become a daily routine...
BAM! The front door suddenly opened.
«!?!?!?»
What!? Did I forget to lock it!?
But who would open the door so dramatically... oh, I know one person who might.
“Iroha-chan, Ogu! I’m here to visit~~~~!”
