The stream screen displayed the completed playback of the music video for Faded Staccato.
In the top right corner, the chat window was scrolling at a dizzying speed.
And in the previously empty bottom-right corner...
Shfftt.
“…Thank you. I’m glad you think I sang well.”
Diah’s avatar reappeared, wearing her usual youthful smile, though her voice was now slightly calr.
Maybe that’s why...
Mom, when I grow up, I want to be like Diah! Mom, when I grow up, I want to be like Diah! Mom, when I grow up, I want to be like Diah!
Diah, are you a forr trainee or sothing?
Diah is secretly OP; everyone knows it.
Why did you dodge every karaoke request until now if you could sing this well?
We are living in Diah’s era, folks! We are living in Diah’s era! We are living in Diah’s era!
The music video and the song are both insane. Fr.
The already fast chat beca even faster.
Most ssages were about Diah’s first cover song, with fans marveling at her incredible singing skills.
However, no one among the Noeulis had yet caught on to the secret of the live broadcast.
“Hmm, just wait a mont~. I’ll show you sothing fun~.”
Click.
Swish.
Diah decided to reveal a hint about the real nature of the song they’d been listening to.
The mouse cursor began moving slowly toward the progress bar of the music video.
??
Did you hide an Easter egg in the music video?
I can’t resist Easter eggs. Tell us already!
Kya, Diah always delivers.
Okay, I believe you. You really care about your cover songs.
But where could an Easter egg even fit in that video?
While the Noeulis speculated wildly about the existence of an Easter egg,
the mouse cursor circled the progress bar and then finally settled on it.
Simultaneously, on the broadcast screen:
|◀ II ▶| 🔇 ●───
A surprise prepared just for the Noeulis.
?? Why is it muted?
???
The audio was fine earlier.
Is this a bug?
What’s going on?
Oh, wait, I think I get it.
The sudden mute symbol filled the chat with confusion.
A few seconds later, the cursor restored the video’s volu.
The intro to Faded Staccato started playing again.
And that’s when the Noeulis began to sense sothing different.
♪──♪♪───♪♪─♬♪
Then, abruptly, the audio cut out.
For ten seconds, the "original" audio of Faded Staccato played before being silenced.
What replaced it was Diah’s youthful voice, tinged with playful mischief.
“The version you heard earlier wasn’t a recording—it was live~. Fooled you all, didn’t I~?”
What?!
Wait, what???
Hold on, I didn’t get that.
So this wasn’t just a cover reveal—it was a concert?!
OMG, she’s insane. LOL.
What even is this girl?!?
Kyaaaaa!
The chat in the top-right corner of the screen began lagging under the surge of reactions.
For about two seconds at a ti, the chat completely froze before catching up again.
anwhile, the donation window was already flooded with ssages praising Diah’s live singing.
Ding!

You’re the first person I’ve seen hit those high notes in Faded Staccato without missing a beat.
[TINFH donated 10,000 KRW!]
Diah can do whatever she wants (and she really does).
The realization that they’d been listening to a live performance instead of a recording only hit the Noeulis about ten minutes later.
[RubikCube donated 50,000 KRW!]
The world’s first VTuber to debut a cover song live. Unreal.
[eternalyg donated 50,000 KRW!]
If it’s not too much trouble... could we get an encore?!
Strictly speaking, the music video for Diah’s first cover song, Faded Staccato, had already been revealed.
But her unexpected live performance, paired with her exceptional singing skills, had left an indelible impression.
“Hm, no encores for now. If I don’t finish the howork my manager gave , I’ll get in trouble…!”
