Chapter 30: Debut Broadcast

Open Chat of the Group Members.

*Karen: Uwaaa, two hours left. I’m so nervous. ᅮ.ᅮ

Koharu: Uwahaha, I ordered tteokbokki to eat while watching unnie’s stream.^^

*

Sara: Yeah, we’re done.

*Karen: That’s mean.ᅮ Weren’t you two nervous? You two were so good at streaming yesterday.

* Koharu: Unnie, I took a nerve-calming pill for the first time. (Rabbit emoji shaking)

*Sara: I thought I wouldn’t be nervous since I’ve streamed a lot, but the moment I saw the number of viewers, I got really nervous.

*Koharu: I actually felt better once I started! Rather than feeling real, I think the number of viewers didn’t quite sink in.

*Karen: I hope that happens to me too.ᅮ Right now, it’s almost like the day of the college entrance exam.

*Koharu: I wasn’t nervous at all on the day of the college entrance exam!

For Sara, it would be weirder if she got nervous because of her grades.

* Koharu: What the.. I never told you my grades. (ᄀ_기

Sara: Tell me your best subject’s grade.

*

Koharu: I won’t tell you. ᄒᄒ

Sara: Your best grade is probably a 6.

*Koharu: No it’s not? I got a 5 in English.

Sara: lol

*Koharu: Karen! There’s an unnie here who’s showing off about her college entrance exam grades!! Please scold her!

*Sara: Well, from Karen’s perspective, we’re both probably at the microbe level.

*Karen: No. ᄒᄒ

:But thanks to you, I feel a little less nervous.

*Sara: What the, Ria was watching too? Why aren’t you saying anything?

Koharu: Somehow, I don’t think Ria unnie will be nervous at all!

*Ria: No, I’m a little nervous too.

*Koharu: Saying it like that means you’re not really nervous.

*Karen: Ria, ᅮᅮ can we do well?

*Ria: I’m planning to do well. You need to figure it out yourself.

*Koharu: lol If you do a blood test on Ria unnie, I bet only T will show up!

*Karen: Haru, what on earth are you talking about?

* Koharu: Unnie, why can’t you take a joke… Are you a T too? ┏(^-^)┘

When Sara says it, it doesn’t sound like a joke.

*Ria: I’m gonna go now. I need to do some cleaning.

*Sara: Okay, have a good debut stream. I’ll be rooting for you.

*Koharu: Unnie!! Fighting!!! (Rabbit emoji shaking pompoms)

*Karen: Ria, give me some strength before you go!

*

Sara is gone.

*Koharu: She’s gone. lol

***

The room is neat and tidy after cleaning.

I check the equipment and read through the script one last time. I wrote the entire script myself, from start to finish, without any help.

The preparation was perfect, to the point where there was nothing more to do.

It was around that time that Karen’s stream started.

《Amano Karen》

《The Psychic Who Entered Blooming Core》

《7845 Viewers 》

I confirmed that it had started properly and turned off the screen. Unlike yesterday, my stream is in just an hour. It was better to do something else without watching.

Of course, there was no need to prepare anything more… So I meditated, calming my mind.

“It’s already been this long. Shall we get ready to go to Ria soon?”

When I re-entered the stream, Karen was just finishing up.

“In a little while, our fourth member of Cosmo, Esumi Ria, will have her debut stream. Everyone, please don’t leave and watch a lot. Ria is a very charming friend, so you can all look forward to it.”

Did we agree to say something like that? I can’t remember.

I don’t know if I’m really that charming, or if I can live up to people’s expectations.

I’m just doing what I can do at this moment. Showing who I am honestly.

After a really long time, I’m turning on a stream in front of many people.

《Esumi Ria》

《The Half-Elf Staying at Blooming Core》

《17014 Viewers 》

– Finally, the last member!

– Congratulations on your debut~~

– Let’s gooo

– Hi Ria~

– Welcome

– Open the door quickly

A chat room with nearly 20,000 people actively participating… It was a speed I had never seen before. It was like watching a strong current flowing rapidly.

The video recorded with my voice starts playing, and the debut stream officially begins.

Ria is a half-elf, born to an elf father and a human mother.

But she grew up in the forest where the World Tree is, along with the elves.

One day, the invasion of the demon king who sought to rule the world began.

Ria, who had mastered excellent archery and spirit skills, fought harder than anyone else.

Then, before she knew it, she became one of the heroes known as the strongest in the world.

And in the end, she defeated the demon king and saved the world.

The goddess said she would grant one wish to the heroes who saved the world.

Ria wished to go to another world. She had nothing more to do there.

That’s how she came here.

At first, it was awkward to mingle with people.

But gradually, she wanted to tell many people about what she had experienced and to let them know about Ria.

At Blooming Core, I want to talk a lot with all of you.

Now it’s really my turn to appear. The screen turns black.

– ?

– Stream ended?

– It’s dark~

– Huh, it’s not even a waiting screen.

– Unnie, it’s dark.. Cold.. Scary..

– What is this?

“Something is blocking our way.”

Suddenly, my hand touches the edge of the screen, and a scene of me lifting a huge bow is reflected.

When I pull the edge of the screen, the screen curls up along the curve of the bow. The black background stretches like a thread and gradually begins to fold like paper.

Ziiiing-

The taut sound of pulling a bowstring rings out.

Crack.

The more I pull the string, the more the screen bends, and small cracks begin to appear in the center.

“It’s hard just to hold on… but I’ll pull it to the end.”

Swoosh!

When I release the bowstring, the center of the screen finally tears. The shattered black debris scatters, and a brilliant light flows through the torn gap.

Through that gap, my avatar, holding a bow, walks out leisurely.

“Have you been waiting for me? There is nothing that cannot be pierced by an arrow filled with will.”

– Whoa

– Oh

– The production is amazing

– lolololol

– New technology.

– The script is well written.

It seemed like the reaction was as good as Koharu’s appearance. No, maybe even better. Seeing that made me quite proud. Because this production was a direct realization of my idea.

The black screen symbolizes the darkness of the other world that I have been fighting against. The production of tearing it apart and bringing in the light was a message that I overcame the darkness and appeared.

Also, the black screen symbolized the ignorance of the audience. An unknown world that viewers don’t know about. By breaking that ignorance with an arrow, it signifies revealing my world to others.

I wanted to explain that intention right away… but it wasn’t the time yet.

“May the blessings of the forest be with you. Hello. The last member of Blooming Core’s 3rd generation Cosmo. I’m the half-elf, Esumi Ria.”

– Hi Ria

– Nice to meet you, Ria

– Hello

“Did you see my archery skills well? This bow is called the Spirit Bow. It’s like a friend that I’ve been with all my life.”

Saying it out loud makes me miss it a little. Should I say it’s a relief to be with it again, even if it’s virtually?

“The Spirit Bow is a very powerful weapon. That’s why I think it will give you a sense of intimidation if I keep showing it.”

– Yes, I’m so scared.ᅮ

– lol Is that so?

– lolololol

I put away the bow and adjusted the avatar to show about half of the upper body.

“I’ve been waiting for this meeting for a long time. Have you all been waiting to meet me too?”

Yesssss

Yes, yes!!!

– It was hard waiting.ᅮᅮ

– Your voice is amazing.

I found my seiso.

“I’m glad you did. It allows me to speak a little more comfortably. You all remember my story from earlier, right?”

The number of viewers is already approaching 23,000. It’s just like what Koharu said. In front of that many people, who don’t even feel real, I revealed my story for the first time.

“I came from another world. So I didn’t know anyone. And I was a little scared about how my appearance would be received.”

The moment I imagined when I wrote down my RP on the VTuber application form was unfolding before my eyes.

“So for a while, I was trapped in my own world, but one day I realized. If you don’t have courage, nothing will change.”

The avatar on the screen smiled slightly, following me.

“I’ll show you many different sides of myself in the future. And I’ll tell you many stories. So I hope you all get to know me slowly. Can you do that?”

– Of course!

Yessss

– Wow, the more I hear your voice, the more…

– We’ll be your friends!!

– The 3rd generation seiso is you, Ria.

I smile once more at the wave of enthusiastic affirmation and praise. Even though I know that I don’t know anyone properly yet.

There may not be many people who are sincere among them. And I don’t know how many of those many people will truly come to understand me.

But it’s okay. It’s just the beginning.

“Then, shall I officially introduce myself now? Will you lend me your ears?”

On the screen, I displayed the prepared PPT for self-introduction.
