Since the Aurora contest has ended, here’s what remains on my schedule:
Fantasy League
Announcent of the divine outfit
Sora’s hosted song relay planning
Collaboration with Shina, the winner of the Aurora contest
3D broadcast
And one more thing.
"By the way, your birthday is on March 14th, right?" "Birthday? Are you talking about my VTuber birthday?" "Yeah. ...It’s a bit confusing, but rember it well. We need to do a birthday stream too."
Rion said that.
Even though the Aurora contest is over, it feels like I’ve gained even more tasks instead of fewer.
But the fact that tasks are steadily coming in is proof that I’m doing well as a VTuber.
Anyway, it seems that VTubers usually have two birthdays.
The ‘VTuber birthday’ known to the viewers and the ‘real birthday’ that they don’t reveal to the public.
Actually, my ‘real birthday’ is May 24th, which isn’t tied to any special occasion.
Maybe that’s why.
VTubers tend to set their ‘VTuber birthday’ according to their concept, and in my case, it was set on March 14th, White Day.
White Day is the day when girls receive gifts, isn’t it?
That’s why it seed to fit with my villainess character, so that’s how it happened.
In other words, it’s a fake birthday.
"There’s also the purpose of avoiding the red pill." "Really?" "For example... let’s say my favorite idol suddenly retires and goes into hiding. Then one day, I find a VTuber whose voice sounds just like the idol’s... and their birthday is exactly the sa. Wouldn’t that make think, ‘Is she really doing VTubing after quitting as an idol?’"
So, it’s also a strategy to set a different birthday. If the birthday is different, it makes people less certain.
There are also other reasons.
So VTubers set their birthday differently for imrsion, or to space out the birthdays of mbers so they don’t overlap with viewers’ wallets.
Especially ‘birthday streams’ and ‘debut anniversary streams’ are known to bring in a lot of donations.
If I were to put it bluntly, those are ‘money collection chances,’ so VTubers who don’t do birthday or debut anniversary streams are rare.
"Setting your birthday differently from reality... It’s been about half a year since I started VTubing, but this still seems like such a hard-to-understand job." "I think so too. By the way, Louis’s birthday is in March too." "Really?" "Yeah, it’s on March 3rd, so it has nothing to do with you." "March 3rd, huh? I think I’ve heard that before."
When did I hear that? Was it from Anna? Maybe I heard it during Anna and Louis’s blind date stream.
Anyway, the 3D stream and birthday stream will happen in March, so there’s nothing to worry about right now.
The divine outfit announcent is already well-prepared, thanks to Rion’s great work on the broadcast planning.
‘I’ve also roughly finished the song relay set list.’
I’d always been worried about song-related things, but this ti the set list for the song relay wasn’t that difficult to put together.
It was a different weight to it after all.
‘Silhouette’ was my channel’s first-ever music video, and ‘The Sound That Cos’ was the song that would conclude my 3D stream, so I made sure to decide carefully for those.
On the other hand, the song relay didn’t need to be that careful. I just chose songs I wanted to sing.
So, now, all that’s left is to focus on the collaboration with Shina.
-Ding!
Just as I thought that, my phone buzzed with a Discord notification.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this."
I muttered.
Since I’ll et Shina soon, I decided to ask about it.
【This Code : One-on-One Chat with Asahina Hikari】
Asahina Hikari
[Hi! It’s Behemoth Leader Hikari!]
[I watched the Aurora contest! It was fun!]
[By the way, when can I send you my request song?]
[The set list submission deadline is coming up soon.]
Aurora
[It might take a bit more ti, could you wait for ?]
Asahina Hikari
[It’s fine as long as it’s not too late!]
[Oh, and feel free to speak casually]
[You’ve already been casual with Louis, right?]
Aurora
[Okay, I’ll do that then]
[Sorry for the delay]
[To be honest, I don’t really know much about you yet]
[Give so more ti to think]
Asahina Hikari
[wwwwww]
[You don’t need to think so hard]
[Alright!]
[Then I’ll wait!]
Shina thought.
I’m cute.
"Scaredy-cat… Did you just call a scaredy-cat?"
Ha, that’s ridiculous.
Of course, I wasn’t overflowing with confidence.
Especially since my social status was quite precarious.
I’d ruined my grades, and graduating from university was no longer a possibility.
And most of my friends my age had already landed jobs…!
If this were a high school reunion, I definitely wouldn’t have gone.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
"So, what have you been up to these days? Oh? Taking a break from school? You’re still in college? But what will you do once you graduate? VTuber? What’s that?"
...I wouldn’t be able to bear hearing that.
‘But this ti, my opponent is Aurora.’
She’s a VTuber just like .
So there’s no reason for to be ashad of my social status.
In fact, I’m ahead, right?
The opponent is still a newcor, hasn’t even hit six months yet.
And ? "A three-year veteran VTuber."
Yeah, my grades are ruined, but I’m not soone who gets looked down upon anywhere.
I’ve lived hearing that I’m cute from people around .
Though, I think most of them say it because I’m short, but isn’t being short like a status symbol too, just like a small bust?
"Aurora, you’re done for."
I won’t let you say a word.
So, Shina imdiately took an intercity bus to her older sister’s house (who got married last year).
She begged her sister to borrow clothes, and even borrowed a luxury handbag.
"Did you get a boyfriend?" "No, I didn’t."
She created a misunderstanding, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, she was satisfied.
She thought about going to her parents’ house and borrowing her dad’s car, but… she decided against it because it would’ve been going overboard.
She also stopped by a beauty salon to fix her hair.
In the morning, she put on makeup.
Then, Shina was left speechless.
"...What is that?"
The eting spot was in front of an aquarium.
Shina had been waiting there for 40 minutes before the scheduled ti.
Just to clarify, she didn’t co early because she was overly excited.
It wasn’t because she was too confident either. Shina simply had a habit of keeping appointnts on ti.
She had to arrive at least 10 minutes early.
Considering the bus schedule, she thought she should leave 10 minutes earlier.
So, with that thought process, she arrived much earlier than expected.
But still, Aurora, being my junior, should’ve arrived earlier than the scheduled ti.
Or so she thought, but that wasn’t the case. Aurora showed up exactly on ti.
"What the hell…"
Aurora still didn’t recognize Shina, since there was so distance.
But Shina imdiately recognized Aurora.
It was still cold in February.
Aurora was wearing a dress that didn’t suit the season, revealing her body line.
She only had a cardigan over her dress.
Anyone could tell she was dressed too lightly for the weather, but she looked completely unfazed.
With a wide-brimd hat, and sunglasses that didn’t quite match.
She gave off an elegant vibe with a subtle charisma, telling Shina that this was Aurora.
‘Is this a scam...?'
The outfit that didn’t match the winter season had an innocent yet sohow instinctively seductive feel to it.
She was good at the ga, and had a strong presence on the broadcast,
But to see her look like this in real life… it was almost unbelievable.
The world is so unfair.
"It’s you."
Click-clack.
The sound of high heels echoed.
Maybe it was because she was wearing such light clothing, but people passing by couldn’t help but glance at her.
As Shina got closer, she felt like her breath was about to stop.
The height difference made Shina look up.
And the height difference made Aurora look down at her.
She t the eyes behind the sunglasses.
"You’re Shina, right? Am I right?" "Ah, yes..." "Why are you speaking formally?" "Well, I an… I misspoke…"
There were so many things Shina wanted to say when they t, but she couldn’t think of a single word.
Her mind was blank.
She desperately tried to open her mouth, but she couldn’t think of anything to say.
Could it be because she was slightly taller than usual?
But with the high heels, she looked huge.
That sense of being overwheld was because Shina was small, but it felt like eting a giant.
Aurora smiled.
Then, she reached out her hand to Shina.
"First, could you carry my bag?"
Thud.
Aurora’s handbag was thrust into Shina’s hand.
"...Huh?"
Only then did Shina co to her senses.
Did she just give her bag as soon as we t?
"Hey, wait! What are you doing?" "I’m Aurora. You’ve already heard my voice many tis." "I’m not talking about that…! Why are you giving your bag as soon as we et? Are you my servant or sothing?" "Isn’t it obvious? You’ve always been my servant, haven’t you?"
What?!
At that mont, Shina rembered.
When she and Aurora used to live in the sa place, she had acted as her servant…!
What, you rember that ti?
No, no, you’re bringing that up to reality? From the ga to real life??
"Why? You don’t like it?" Swish.
Maybe it was a bit uncomfortable.
Aurora took off her sunglasses.
Her black eyes with a tinge of red.
The slightly eerie look in her eyes made Shina unconsciously shrink back.
While Shina hesitated,
-Thud.
Before she knew it, Aurora had lightly placed her hand on Shina’s shoulder.
"I’ll pay for everything today, so could you carry my bag?"
A smile.
They say that when a handso guy smiles, even a man’s heart flutters.
It’s the sa logic.
When a beautiful person smiles, it makes you feel this way regardless of gender.
What was most evil was that Aurora was fully aware of her value.
She knew she was beautiful, and she knew how to use it.
Even knowing that,
Shina couldn’t bring herself to snap out of it.
"Ara, I see…"
