Chapter 26: I feel like I’m going to be treated roughly

The day after going to the meat restaurant and the cafe.

A manager who was put in charge of the 3rd generation members until a spot opened up.

The call with Sera was lasting longer than expected.

“Could you please reconsider just once more?”

“I’m sorry.

I don’t think my mind will change.”

The tone is as concise and un-elf-like as possible.

What does it mean to be un-elf-like.

How do I do that.

Well, there’s no need to react like that.

Even though the elven tone was more familiar, if I concentrated, I could speak normally.

I had to show my sincerity when I said goodbye to Sarubi, so I couldn’t help it.

As promised with the boss, I was going to talk to the company staff like this from now on.

“If Ria’s original appearance and model are the same, there’s no reason to be a VTuber!”

I thought I had explained it sufficiently, but was Sera a little lacking in understanding?

I speak again slowly.

“That’s exactly it.

A VTuber whose model and real appearance are the same.

That’s my uniqueness.”

“No…”

Sera was silent for a moment.

But soon, a calm voice came from beyond the phone.

“It’s fine to act according to the RP Ria submitted.

Just let’s make the illustration different.

Isn’t it okay to just change the hair and eye color?”

Before I could answer, Sera continued.

“Ria.

The fact that the VTuber model is the same as the real person means giving up many advantages.

By being different, you can reduce the burden of being exposed and evaluated by people.

You can also clearly separate work and private life.”

“I don’t think that’s necessarily a big advantage.”

“Okay.

Then you know that there is a very clear disadvantage, right?”

“What is it?”

“It’s the risk of exposing undisclosed personal information.

The so-called red pill.

You have to be careful every time you go out.”

“It’s okay.

I don’t usually go out much anyway.”

I just need to change the time I go up the mountain to exercise back to dawn.

Then there’s almost no chance of meeting people.

If I need to go far, I can take a taxi even if it’s expensive.

“Do you really have to go that far?

We are trying to prevent situations that may be uncomfortable for Ria in advance.”

“It’s not that uncomfortable.

I’m asking for such a model to be produced because I want it.”

It was meaningful to me.

It’s not about choosing only the parts I want to reveal, but about showing my true self in its entirety.

“…Okay.

As you said, don’t go out of your way to avoid going out, but please wear sunglasses if possible.

Since your eye color is very rare.”

“Yes.

Thank you.”

“Please send me a picture.

I need it to refer to the illustration work.

If you think about it positively, it’s a 2D art style, so your appearance won’t be fully captured.”

“That’s a bit disappointing…”

Will it become more similar if I make it 3D later?

While I was thinking that, Sera brought up another topic.

“Oh.

What happened to the partner streamer you mentioned before?

Didn’t you get a reply from Cradle yet?”

“No, I got a reply.”

Cradle, who proposed a partner streamer to ‘ElvenChogun’.

I had sent a reply after receiving permission from the company to inform them that I would be debuting as a VTuber.

“They said they want to sign a contract with a VTuber who is about to debut.

Instead, in a soft launch method.

They suggested not directly revealing the contract at the beginning of the debut, and disclosing it after a month or so.”

“Was there also a reason for that?”

“They said that if a newly debuted VTuber openly reveals their position as a partner streamer, it may give the impression that they succeeded because of backing.

They said they think they need time to build trust with the fans.”

“That… seems like a very considerate proposal.

It seems like they’ve done some research on the industry as well.

Since you’re debuting through BloomingCore anyway, I don’t think it’ll be called backing…

But there’s no harm in being cautious.

I’ll check with the boss and contact you again.

You can probably proceed with the contract under those conditions.”

“Yes.

I’ll hold off on replying for now.”

“By the way, it seems like Cradle values Ria very highly, right?

That’s really great.”

I felt the same way.

The nuclear verification completion notice was very fast, the email response was fast, and the content was also very polite……

“Then Ria’s debut content will inevitably have to exclude Ori.

I have something to tell you about that.”

Sera’s voice became more serious.

“Please listen without misunderstanding.

We know that Ria was unfairly accused of using hacks, and we confirmed that you passed the verification transparently.”

“Yes.”

“Still, in the beginning, we decided on a policy to not highlight the controversy as much as possible.

Even though it has been explained, there may be attempts to deliberately make noise.

Then there is a possibility that it will adversely affect the initial growth of the broadcast.”

“I understand.”

“Instead, when it starts to be mentioned externally, the company will also support and deal with it in a thoroughly prepared state.

So, for now, please keep the fact that Ria is ‘ElvenChogun’ a secret as much as possible.”

“Then I’ll have to create a sub-account for broadcasting, right?”

“Yes.

I looked it up, and Ori says you can create up to 3 accounts.

You still have room, right?”

“Yes.

I have two left.

Then, except for broadcasting, can I use the ‘ElvenChogun’ account?”

“If you’re going to grow your sub-account anyway, I would recommend not even accessing the ‘ElvenChogun’ account…

Is there a reason why you have to?”

There is.

Anyway, if I play close combat as an archer, the sub-account becomes meaningless.

It’s my own unique style, so I’ll be identified immediately.

That said, I couldn’t give up that style.

I wasn’t playing a game, I was relieving my desire to fight.

The sense of unity of using a familiar weapon, the bow.

The thrill of a close call.

I had to feel both.

Of course, in that situation, I will also train to control my entire body.

Without this process.

If I just repeat a ‘boring game’…

Again, even in everyday life, I will enter a state of combat excitement.

At that time, I might be rude to the people around me.

Maybe even to Sera, who I’m talking to right now.

That was really a scary thing.

“If I don’t, I feel like I’ll treat Sera roughly.”

“What?

Is this a threat all of a sudden!?”

Ah, did I just blurt out the conclusion?

I was trying to explain in a hurry, but Sera’s laughter came first.

“Ahaha…

I see.

Just don’t access your original account on stream.

When you look at it.

Ria also has a quirky side, doesn’t she?”

No.

Don’t just laugh it off like that.

This really makes me look like I’m threatening you…

But Sera immediately greeted me.

“Then Ria, I’ll contact you again next time!”

I looked down at the disconnected phone for a moment.

Anyway, she took it as a joke, so it should be fine, right?

I let it go like that and got up from my seat.

I was going to send a picture first, as I heard on the phone.

There wasn’t a single picture of me on my phone.

No, there wasn’t a single picture at all.

Because I had never taken one.

The outfit to be used for the illustration…

When I thought about it, there was only one outfit that came to mind.

I take out an outfit from the closet.

It was the elf archer’s one-piece I was wearing on the first day I came here.

It was pure white with a leaf pattern engraved on it.

To make it easier to run and shoot a bow, the skirt part was short and there were no sleeves.

“Hmm…”

Maybe it’s because I didn’t wrap it up tightly with cloth like before.

My chest looked unusually prominent.

Even if that was unavoidable, it was a big deal that the bra strap was sticking out over my shoulder.

“I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere…”

I was able to find it while rummaging through the drawer with underwear.

A nubra with only cups without straps.

I had sports bras that I wore when playing Ori or exercising, and as for this, I had to admit the goddess’s arrangement of preparing enough necessary items for life.

I put on my clothes properly again and capture my image in the mirror on my phone screen.

Click.

Ori is fun

Even so, it seems like you’re only playing three games a day?

You suddenly became a normal person

Ah, just…

Even Ori-obsessed lives are normalized by Pajijik gallery users..

After tasting the murderous steps from Pajijik gallery, you came to your senses

-Am I the only one who sees a serious broadcast comeback angle?

You’re the only one

I thought I lost interest in broadcasting and Ori, but seeing you play Ori again, there’s a possibility

Stop touching a dead person’s testicles and let them go..

Seeing you only play Ori 3 times a day, it seems like you quit broadcasting and are living your real life

Chogun-ah…

I’m still waiting for you…
