Chapter 10 Video Call ②
The Training Service was set to be carried out one week later at Kanda Sports.
Has it turned into a huge uproar on their side?
Yuuta strove hard in working out in preparation for that day. Then again, the issue of him doing his best in his training for the sake of receiving training struck him as sowhat odd. But, he decided to not mind it.
Pheew Hmm? Those are
As he was working out in a gym facility, Yuuta saw other boys arriving for a rare change.
Ahfor us to end up eting in such a place
The ones heading for the training room were Yuutas classmates. Because this particular room was reserved for n of Yuutas generation aka junior high third-years, the new arrivals being his classmates was the natural conclusion.
Going by Yuuta-kuns mory, Yuuta sohow managed to match their nas with their faces.
Looks like Takuya-kun isnt with them, however
Takuya was the leading boy among Yuutas classmates. He was also the reason for Yuuta-kun being expelled out of the classs group chat.
Hmm? Huh!? Why are you here?
Ehh? Isnt that the scum? The shut-in trash is hangin round here!?
Two guys entered the training room. And as soon as they spotted Yuuta, their faces warped in contempt.
Long ti no see, Kensuke-kun, Tsubasa-kun.
Hah? Whos allowed you to use my na, fucker? Are you screwin with !?
Kensuke-kun imdiately flew into rage over just having his na used. Apparently he couldnt even stomach shut-in scum like Yuuta taking his na into his mouth.
Sorry.
You think sorry cuts it!? Are you shittin , you piece of trash!?
Co on, man. Knock it off. Lowering your own reputation by dealing with lowly scum like him is just a waste of ti, Tsubasa said to calm Kensuke who was getting more and more pissed off.
Yuuta also rooted for Tsubasa in his mind. After all, hed appreciate it if he could have them ignore his presence.
Well, I was planning to head back anyway.
F-Rank trash working outwhats the fuckin point of that?
Pointlessly wasting his ti, how hilarious. Makes
laugh for real.
Yuuta stood up, trying to quickly leave the training room.
Eh?
O-Oh?
Kensuke and Tsubasa both had to look up to see Yuutas face. Their mory of Yuuta was still stuck to the first-year Yuuta-kun who had been shorter than them. But, the guy in front of them was taller than either. Kensuke with his height of 164 cm and Tsubasa with a height of 162 cm had to look up because Yuuta possessed a height of 170 cm.
Y-You beca so tall!? Kensuke muttered, seeming sowhat flustered.
H-Huh?
And then Tsubasa noticed sothing else. Yuuta wasnt just taller than them, but his body was a lot more buff than theirs, too.
Bye.
Y-Yeah.
Yuuta passed in front of the two, exiting the room. anwhile Kensuke and Tsubasa could only stare at him leaving, their faces dumbstruck like pigeons that got shot by a peashooter.
Yuuta ended up eting his classmates under unforeseen circumstances. And afterwards the news that Yuuta had visited the training room imdiately spread through Kensuke and Tsubasa.
When asked about Yuuta, both boys only ntioned that Yuuta had grown in height. Unable to admit that Yuutas body had beco more muscular and leaner than theirs, they went along with their classmates laughter, who shrugged the whole incident off as scum remaining scum, even if it worked out.
In the evening of the sa day, Yuuta would carry out his last Video Call Service. The Video Call with the fourth person, the one right after Mayumi, had ended without leaving any good or bad impressions, just like the first person. Today he would et the fifth woman.
Since the training with Mayumi has been scheduled, I have nine more Service Activities left to do. If its nine Services within two months, I should be able to sohow get it done. If it looks like I wont cope no matter what, I can just fill up the count by scheduling a few more Video Calls.
The Video Calls were quite convenient since they didnt require much effort from his side. But, even if they were simple enough to schedule, their ease of doing was an entirely different question.
19-years-old Shizuku-san, huh?
Her age reminded him of the second woman who had been quite unpleasant. Of course it wasnt as if this woman would be the sa just because of having an identical age, but Yuuta ended up feeling sowhat worried due to his prejudice.
Speaking from the conclusion, Yuutas worries were completely unfounded. Rather, just as it happened during his call with Mayumi, his call with Shizuku yielded him so unexpected gains.
And after that I got totally hooked with Virtual Strears
Oh, I see
Yuuta managed to obtain so information about strears in this world during his conversation with Shizuku. Even his previous world had people called YouTubers who did live streams and videos. And this world had people doing sothing similar.
And the surprising part about this was the fact of n also working as strears. Moreover, he learned that a mans stream could be used as a Service.
This sounds really neat. Why didnt I think of this myself!?
Yuuta loved playing gas in his previous world. He wasnt as good at it as pro-gars, but he still enjoyed playing gas normally.
The sa applied to Yuuta-kun. That much Yuuta could tell from Yuuta-kuns mories. After all, even Yuuta-kuns first and last Service Activity was about playing a ga with a woman.
A Streaming Service Isnt that aweso!?
Streaming was a highly popular form of entertainnt in his previous world as well.
A FPS ga, where several people compete against each other, would be a bit tough to put into practice, but I also like playing single-player gas. And if its teamplay-gas, I could also play together with won, right? Thats a lot more suited to
than Video Call Services, isnt it?
Having discovered a new possibility during his chat with Shizuku, Yuuta kept asking her about all kinds of things related to the state of the streaming industry in order to procure as much information as he could.
You need to register for a paid subscription to watch the streams of n which arent Streaming Services
Oh, okay. How much do these subscriptions cost?
The fees differ, depending on the mans rank. Also, if I rember correctly, you need to be D-Rank to be allowed to ask for subscription for the sake of paid streams
Okay, I didnt know that
Apparently Yuuta wouldnt be able to run paid streams as F-Rank.
But even D-Ranks, ummthe mbership for popular n is fairly expensive
Hee, give
an idea?
Let
seeit starts at 500 Yen per month if it is cheap, going all the way up to 10,000 Yen. Even at D-Rank 1
I wonder whether Shizuku-san has subscribed to soones paid streams?
Do these paid streams happen regularly?
That actually depends on the man
But, the subscription is based on a monthly paynt, no? Wont they at least stream several tis a month?
Such a rule does no exist. So n are kind enough to tell their subscribers that they will stream twice a month, but it is not like that is an unshakable promise either
Twice a month?
Is there an average amount of paid streams per month for n?
Most of them stream once a month
Eh? Once a month?
R-Right. You are lucky if it happens twice a month. It is normal for there to be no streams in a month, too
Its good that I asked about this in advance. Itd have been dangerous if I had stread several tis a month
So so dont even stream once a month despite their subscribers paying monthly, huh. Wouldnt it be smarter to register during the tis when theres a stream available then?
T-That is
Hmm?
U-Ummthere exist many cases where you cannot watch n, who only stream irregularly, if you have not subscribed to them for several months in a row. You must remain subscribed to them even during the months when they do not stream anything, if you wish to see them later on
Eehh? Would anyone watch them if they use such a way of handling things?
W-Wellif they are popular, yes
Ah, now I get it
Popular n refers to superior n who have high ranks. In short, if I were to do sothing like this, no one would subscribe to watch .
Shizuku-san, are you also streaming live or posting videos?
Yes. I am doing it as well
Ohh, maybe I should take a peek?
Really!? Id be super happy!
Huh? Your strear na is Shizuku, or is it not?
Ah
Yuuta imdiately tried to look up Shizukus na, but ca out blank.
A-As a matter of fact, Ihave been active as a virtual strear
So you got hooked on virtual strears and then beca one yourself, eh?
Virtual strears also existed in Yuutas old world. They were strears who made content by using cute characters as avatars instead of showing their real faces. They gained popularity corresponding to the era and managed to establish themselves as content creators.

Would tell
your V-Strear na, Shizuku-san?
Y-Yes, of course! My na as V-Strear is Akane
Once Yuuta searched for the V-Strear Akane, he imdiately found her.
What a cute avatar shes using.
Found it. Ill watch it later
Sure! Thank you very much!
Shizuku belonged to a company of V-Strears, so Yuuta also took a peek at the hopage of that company, just to find many V-Strears with male avatars over there.
Huh? Arent there many male V-Strears?
Ah, those areactually won
Eh? Theyre won?
Yes, they are won with naturally low voices or won who use voice changers to imitate male voices. I have never heard of real n being V-Strears
Okay. But wait, when I looked it up, I was shown an article stating that a V-Strear called Konohamaru is a real man
Oh, Konohamaru-san. Yes, shes a very famous V-Strear. Umm, her way of speaking, gestures, and behavior are just like that of a real man. Because of that, they say shes actually a man Its not limited to Konohamaru-san either. Many V-Strears with male avatars are rumored to actually be n. Though this is mostly based on the wish of their viewers for it to be so
But, in reality its different
Wellas far as I know, at least
Shizuku had avoided making a clear statent because she was an active V-Strear herself, but Yuuta still grasped that real n probably werent performing as V-Strears.
V-Strear, huh? Hmm, can Iuse this?
Yuutas present objective was to raise his male rank since it was connected to him leading an affluent life. But, what about the ti after he achieved that goal? Itd be only reasonable for him to do sothing he actually wanted to do.
I wanted to try being a V-Tuber in my previous world, didnt I? The situation in this world is completely different, though.
Just him streaming three or four tis a month as a male strear, who showed their faces normally, would likely be considered as abnormal in this world. On top of that, Yuuta didnt really need any paid subscriptions. Hed be fine to stream for free as hed feel rewarded enough by people watching him.
Most of the things I need for surviving are provided to . So I dont really need to earn lots of money either.
Shizuka-san, the chat with you was very fun and helpful. Thank you
The pleasure was on my side. I enjoyed our conversation very much, Yuuta-sama. Excuse , but will you be streaming in the future?
Ive been thinking that it might be nice to do a Streaming Service
Really!? Ill definitely watch it!
Thank you. However, I wont be able to run any paid streams since Im an F-Rank, I suppose. And n dont stream for free, do they?
Eh? Streaming for free? T-Thats trueIve never heard of that
Figures
Once Ive improved and stabilized my own situation, itd be quite nice to perform as a solo V-Strear, thought Yuuta. And soday Ill do a collaboration with the V-Strear Akane, too.
...
You can roughly calculate 140 Yen per Dollar nowadays.Theyre called V-Tubers over here, if you havent figured yet. But since I didnt want to use YouTube terminology in this novel, I went with Virtual strears. Ill abbreviate them to V-Strears now that theyve been defined.
