Chapter 110: ……In the end, we won, so it doesn’t matter at all, right?

I opened my eyes to find it was already past 3 PM.

“…How many hours did I sleep?”

I clearly got home before 11 PM yesterday, and I must have fallen asleep around 11:30 PM.

To sleep for almost 15 hours…

I had felt tired when I returned home yesterday, but I must have been even more exhausted than I realized.

Well, they say beautiful people need a lot of sleep, so I guess it can’t be helped.

“Ugh…”

After lightly stretching, I turned on my phone.

The first thing that caught my eye was a DM notification from the Starpl members, thanking me for the hard work.

Next were messages from my older sister and Aunt Sia…

“…Huh?”

[Mom: (photo)]

[Mom: You did great, our daughter]

“Heh, heh…”

The message from my mom was sent at 10:03 PM yesterday.

That means she must have watched the broadcast live and sent this message.

Of course, she might not have watched all of it.

She probably just came in at the end, took a picture, and sent the message.

But considering she’s on a business trip and probably busy, just the fact that she took the time to send me a message

with a photo really touched me.

“Hehe…”

After sending my thanks to everyone in order, I made my way to the kitchen to have lunch, though it was a bit late.

I need to read the hyper chat at 6 PM while doing a review broadcast of yesterday’s 3D debut. It’ll probably take

about two hours, so I should eat something filling to avoid getting hungry during it.

I think I’ll add some pork neck to the cup noodles I bought the other day.

[[Hyper Chat Reading] Thanks for watching my 3D debut yesterday! #Kainoisumi #StarsFlow2ndGen]

-(≥▽≦)＞ZumiZumi!

-(≦)＞ZumiZumi!

“Ugh…”

Just to be sure, I checked the hyper chat from yesterday, and as expected, there were a ton of messages.

It seems like even more than during the monetization or 150k special broadcast?

There are so many red messages.

After reading hyper chat during the 150k special, it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, so with this amount, it looks

like it’ll take at least 2 hours…

Izutomo, you all~

You harass me every day with your abuse, but when it’s a special occasion like this, you’re so thoughtful and take care

of me.

You must really love me, huh?

“Hmm, hmm.”

It was almost time for the broadcast, so I quietly cleared my throat and checked the 3D equipment I received from

the company yesterday.

From what I saw on various communities, my 3D model was said to be the best ever, and many people had

mentioned they wanted to see it during regular broadcasts.

So today, I’d try it out, and if the reaction is good, I planned to use it regularly during my streams.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

When the clock struck 6, I started the broadcast.

“Ko-Konzumi, the mood maker, Kaino Izumi…”

I greeted the Izutomo as the broadcast began.

-HaiZumi!

Was it because it was a 3D debut review broadcast?

The live viewer count was 6,000, which was much higher than usual.

I mean, the aftermath of the 3D debut broadcast had been so huge that my subscriber count had soared over

200,000.

• Congratulations on your 3D debut! You were so cute yesterday!
• Congrats on 200k subscribers!!

As expected, most of the chat was focused on that.

“Everyone, thank you. I’m glad you all enjoyed watching yesterday… Ah, and, look at this.”

First, I thanked everyone, and then I prepared to show a special content I had planned for the Izutomo.

I lightly grabbed the edge of my desk, took a deep breath, and with a slight swallow, swung my arms to turn my chair

around.

“Hehehe…”

When the spinning of the chair stopped, my head was slightly dizzy, but it wasn’t enough to interfere with the

broadcast.

So, I immediately checked the chat window of the broadcast.

• It’s spinning!
• 3D?!
• Didn’t look like it at all.

As expected, many reactions were as anticipated.

After all, they probably thought I was using a Live2D illustration, so seeing the avatar spin like that must have been

quite a shock.

Live2D illustrations can only move the upper body from side to side, no matter how intensely I move.

“Fufufu….”

Earlier, I had tinkered with the 3D model by myself, and I could really feel why people were calling it the best of all time.

Even though the gap between 3D models and Live2D has been narrowed significantly in recent years, when you

compare the two on a broadcast, there’s still a noticeable difference.

However, my 3D model was at a level where the gap was nearly impossible to spot at a glance.

To put it simply, it was a big deal that such a small gap existed.

In fact, if I said that only a handful of VTubers in history have had a 3D model like this, would you understand?

In other words, I got my hands on an amazing 3D model.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

With this 3D model, I could totally dominate YouTube….

• When will the 200k celebration broadcast be?

While reading the hyperchat, I suddenly saw this message.

“200k celebration… I… I already did that…?”

I don’t remember anything about it.

• What do you mean by that?

I was confused when they questioned me about this. Why were they asking when it was already happening?

“Ah, no. Look here..”

Being the helpful person I am, I couldn’t help but circle it with my mouse on the broadcast screen to show them.

There was a thumbnail from yesterday’s 3D debut broadcast with the text [3D Debut Review Broadcast!] and right

below it, in small but clear letters, [200k Celebration Broadcast Included!].

“It’s a little small, but it’s definitely written…?”

I didn’t make it so small that it couldn’t be seen. If they just focused for a moment, they would have clearly noticed it.

• Who in the world writes something like this?
• For a 200k celebration, at least make it big on top!
• You didn’t even announce it separately.

But somehow, the reaction from my fans, the Izutomo, wasn’t what I expected.

Why?

I couldn’t understand. I hadn’t done anything wrong!

If anything, it was their fault for not properly paying attention to the broadcast screen… but if I said that, they’d

probably be upset.

But no, I, Kayano Mina, never apologize for things I didn’t do wrong.

“I’m not in the wrong….”

• If we drop the subscriber count back below 200k, will that solve things?

…042?

• Let’s talk again when you hit 200k, Mei-chan!

“Wait, wait, everyone…?!”

These guys are serious?!

The number of subscribers in real-time was actually dropping right now?!

Just a moment ago, the subscriber count was 210,428, but it quickly dropped to 209,000.

“Sorry! P-Please stop…!”

I ended up apologizing for more than 30 minutes, but the subscriber count didn’t return…

Fortunately, it didn’t go below 200k.

“Ugh. S-Slowly, it’s time to go…”

By now, it was already past 8 PM.

I had ended up chatting about random things more than I expected, so there were still more than half of the

hyperchats left to read.

“I’ll continue reading the remaining hyperchats next time… is that okay?”

• By the way, did you see the neiter from the other members?

“…Ah, yeah. I saw it.”

I could guess what the Izutomo wanted to say.

“…Was it about Ko’s story?”

• Did you see it? ᄏᄏ
• Suzuhachi is way too creepy!

Watching the other members’ celebration broadcasts in real-time and leaving their own impressions on the neiters is

usually called a “relay.”

And of course, during my 3D broadcast yesterday, other members also did their own relays, and among them, Ko’s

relay became the most talked-about.

Ko’s relay… had no words at all.

It was just a screenshot from my broadcast yesterday.

But the compositions of the screenshots were filled with things that were a bit hard to express with words.

Yeah. As mentioned in the chat earlier, it was just creepy screenshots.

Especially in the middle, when I was sitting in a classroom, there was a moment when my panties were visible from

the front. I never expected that someone would take that screenshot and zoom in to post it.

In the DMs I received yesterday, all I got were neutral comments saying I’d worked hard, but on the neiter, they were

showing off their true nature like that.

“Honestly, I couldn’t help but laugh….”

• That laugh means a lot of things ᄏᄏ
• Suzuhachi does have some creepy sides sometimes ᄏᄏ

“Heh, heh… well, anyway! Tomorrow is Akabane’s 3D debut, so make sure to look forward to it, everyone! See you next time!”

• Byezumi!
• Byezumi!

[Ko Suzuhachi: The reaction is too much!]

[Kayano Izumi: (・・;)]

The class ended, and finally, it was time for dismissal.

For some reason, Miyauchi was standing at the podium with Teacher Kaname.

“In two weeks, we’ll finally have the sports festival!”

I tilted my head, not quite understanding what was happening, and Miyauchi shouted loudly.

“Ah….”

I had expected the topic to come up eventually, but I didn’t realize it would be today.

Today is Akabane’s 3D debut, and I want to hurry home and get ready to watch it….

Of course, Akabane’s 3D debut doesn’t start until 9 PM, so there’s no rush to head home quickly.

“Last year, the red team won, but our class didn’t win a single event! So this year, let’s all work hard to get revenge!”

“Uooohhh!”

…But didn’t we win anyway? Doesn’t that not really matter?

That question arose in my mind, but I didn’t dare say it out loud.

Not only would the atmosphere turn awkward, but I also knew it would be disrespectful to try to understand the

thoughts of the people at the top of the school’s social ladder.

In the first place, the sports festival is an event that doesn’t concern someone like me, who is on the outside, right?

I’d just quietly watch from the sidelines.

“Ah, and Kayano, you’ve been invited to join the cheerleading squad for the red team, what do you think?”

“…Eh?”
