Chapter 25: So what are you going to do from now on?

 

[Lené]

[I apologize for everything until now. I sincerely apologize.]

[Talk | 13 viewers watching | 0:01:55]

“I truly reflect on that fact, and from now on, I will confidently broadcast in my own voice.”

Of course, it’s not really my voice… but at least as the streamer ‘Lené’, isn’t it okay to consider this my real voice? Surely the viewers want that too………

─ Turn on the voice changer right now ᄏᄏ

─ Shut up with that bullshit and turn on the voice changer!!!

……What is this?

The reaction is completely different from what I imagined…?

I thought I would hear comments like, ‘Finally turned off that bullshit voice changer.’

But for some reason, the chat was filled with requests to turn on the voice changer immediately.

If it were just one or two people, I could think, ‘Well, there are those preferences too,’ and let it go, but just from a rough count, 10 out of the now 12 to 13 viewers were typing in the chat to use the voice changer again.

It was supposed to be a perfect plan, so why did it turn out like this…?

“Uh, um… didn’t you all say you didn’t like using the voice changer?”

– I don’t really care

– If I wasn’t going to watch because of that, I would’ve left the moment I heard the voice changer

“…Ah.”

I see.

Surely, if they’ve stayed since I announced I was using a voice changer from the start, it means they don’t care about that.

─ On the contrary, hearing your real voice reminds me of school, so I like it less

– Oops

– If I had to buy bread and milk during break time, it would be hilarious

– It’s giving me PTSD, so turn on the voice changer quickly!!!

This is a big problem.

I never anticipated this development….

If I continue this broadcast, there wouldn’t be any immediate issues since all my viewers want this.

However, if I follow their words and don’t use the voice changer, my original voice won’t attract any new viewers.

If I turn the voice changer on and use a male voice, the current viewers will get angry.

Is this what they call a catch-22?

“Um….?

Is it unavoidable?

I can’t afford to lose the current viewers, and there’s no guarantee that I can succeed with this voice.

For now, I’ll just have to maintain the current situation and gauge the response.

“Um, can you hear me well…?”

After turning off the voice changer program, I started talking while keeping an eye on the reactions in the chat.

– It’s finally a bit comfortable now

– Don’t ever say you’re turning off the voice changer again

─ But why did you suddenly turn off the voice changer?

Naturally, the chat continued with positive responses.

This is really troubling…

“The reason I suddenly tried to turn off the voice changer…?

But is it okay to say this?

“It doesn’t seem like a controversial topic, but somehow, I feel like it might upset these people if they hear it. …But they have the right to hear the reasons too.

‘It’s… because of attracting new viewers. When a guy uses a voice changer to sound like a girl, many people look down on it….’

—Then you shouldn’t have used a voice changer from the beginning.

—No one forced you to use it, though, haha.

—Are you abandoning us, sister? Are you abandoning us, sister? Are you abandoning us, sister?

“Please don’t call me sister….”

I’m currently 16 years old. My ID somehow says I’m 20, but my real age is 16. There shouldn’t be anyone in the chat who is younger than me. …Right?

You guys know I’m a guy, so why are you calling me sister?

—If you’re worried about viewer influx, can’t you just not say you’re a guy?

“That would be lying….”

 

Of course, I’m already lying. I’m pretending to be a girl while saying I’m a guy using a voice changer to sound like a girl. But this is something I have to do to achieve my grand plan. No one can hold it against me…… Probably.

—There’s no need to mention you’re using a voice changer anyway.

—Haha, true.

Surprisingly, there are many viewers who agree with that opinion. Don’t the original viewers dislike this kind of lie? I’m not sure.

“Um….”

…But it’s not really wrong, either. There’s no need for me to announce that I’m using a voice changer.

“…So since you all said that, I’ll try not to talk about the voice changer from now on….”

—That’s right.

—It’s ridiculous that you were worried about this, haha.

=‘ᄋᄋ’ donated 1000 won.

“Do you usually worry about pointless things?”

“It wasn’t pointless. It was a serious discussion about the direction of the broadcast. And please don’t call me sister….”

Why do these people keep calling me sister? You all know I’m a guy.

“So what should we do now?”

—O?2

—Why are you asking that here?

—The host is lazy; the content is lacking.

—It’s only the third broadcast, and you’re already out of content?

…?

Am I lazy?

 

“No. Originally, I was going to apologize for deceiving you all until now, and discuss what my future broadcast plans are, and what my purpose is.

But since it all ended in less than five minutes, I’m quite flustered right now…. Please think about it as well.”

“When a plan you set suddenly collapses in an instant, your thoughts stop, right? So, this is something that can’t be helped… And by the way, this is not the third broadcast today, but the fourth. Of course, no one came to watch the first broadcast, but anyway, I did my best with the first broadcast too…”

 

─“Suddenly, the seizure button was pressed, haha.”

―“Is it normal if it feels good to speak like someone whispering in my ear?”

– “The voice sounds nice, haha.”

―“So there’s a guy behind this voice who’s writing shit, right?”

─“Who pressed the seizure button, damn it?”

– “How did this guy hold out in voice chat on NewD, haha?”

[Lené]

[I’m sorry for everything up until now. I apologize.]

[Talk | 13 viewers watching | 0:48:55]

“So the conclusion is that I’m not lazy; it’s just something that can’t be helped as a person. This is my fourth broadcast. Got it?”

─“How scratched up is this guy?”

─“Did you really hate being called lazy that much?”

“But how boring must the first broadcast have been for no one to watch?”

– “Oh, come on.”

―“Damn, why are you dragging this out for over 30 minutes?”

─“Yeah, you’re right, Lené… So please, let’s just stop this…”

Fortunately, it seemed that the viewers also understood my grievances.

Of course, they should understand.

I had thought about this a lot before starting today’s broadcast.

Honestly, one of the words that least suits me is ‘lazy.’ Even in my past life, and even in the other world, if there was work to be done, I always worked hard without resting.

Well, I did live as a hikikomori for a while after returning to Earth… but that should be considered a necessary rest period.

Anyway, this story is over. Now, let’s return to the main topic.

“So, what should I do now…?”

– “Wasn’t this story finished?”

– “What? I feel like I heard this 30 minutes ago.”

– “Damn it, Lené, seriously!!!”

“Um…”

Unfortunately, the viewers of my broadcast didn’t seem to have any good ideas either. Well, they came to enjoy my stream, not to think of what to do.

 

“Should we just play NewD then…?”

In the end, is this the only conclusion? I mean, I was planning to be a NewD-specialized streamer from the start.

– “Are you doing PVP again today?”

“Um, if there’s nothing in particular you want to see, wouldn’t PVP be the most reasonable choice…?”

– “If you haven’t done Tagirion today, how about Tagirion?”

“Oh… That wouldn’t be bad either.”

Thinking about it, today is the day for the Tagirion raid entrance limit reset. I almost forgot about that.

– “I’m curious to see how he’ll handle this.”

─“A raid without a priest and paladin, haha.”

The response in the chat wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was quite good.

“Then since I need to log into Newdee first, I’ll turn the broadcast back on in 10 minutes…”

“Um….”

I, for my part, don’t use the voice chat feature on NewD.

So, if someone needs to have a conversation, I resolve everything through chat.

There isn’t really a big reason for that.

Since I’m home alone every day, the concept of talking to someone has gradually faded, and as I engage more in community spaces, writing has become more comfortable than speaking.

But now that I’m starting to stream, it means that my voice will be known across the vast ocean of the internet. Of course, people will think I’m using a voice changer.

[Unauthorized external program has been detected.]

[Please exit the external program and use the game.]

“…Um.”

I was planning to keep it on just in case…

…Well, it shouldn’t cause any problems, right?

I have no intention of using the voice chat feature on NewD.
