Chapter 32: You might regret it a little

If I were to start talking about my deceased parents on my debut stream, the atmosphere would become heavy.

So, to the questions of why on earth I had foster parents, I could only answer like this.

“Just accept it.”

– There’s no particular reason. lol

– Did you think it was a stretch too?

– If you don’t know Ria’s vibe, get out.

– It’s only the first stream, and there’s already a Ria manual?

After finishing the introduction of the foster parents, we move on to the fourth page.

Goals to achieve in Blooming Core.

I hadn’t thought about 3D live concerts or releasing original songs. I might do them someday, but I don’t feel a strong enough desire yet to make them my goals.

“My goals are modest. Just showing my appearance to many Bloomies. And telling them my story. That’s enough for me.”

– Mo.dest?

– Is this another case where the standards are different from humans?

– Modest (elf style)

– She’s been trying to make us laugh with her self-introduction since earlier. lolol

– Full of greed

– Woman of ambition

– The shoulders of the Bloomies are getting heavy…ᅮ

Everyone was looking at the screen and making snarky remarks. Those numbers are just results that follow, they’re not necessarily goals in themselves.

“Just because a star is far away doesn’t mean you can’t feel its light. If you take one step at a time towards the light, you’ll find the traces of the star beneath your feet.”

– Huh?

– That was… somehow very elf-like.

– It sounded like a voice actor dubbing an anime line.

– Ah… Ria, you were ‘one of us’ too.

– I don’t know what you’re saying, but it sounds good. lolol

– The voice makes the atmosphere amazing. lololol

“It means don’t conclude that it’s impossible from the start. Let’s start with everyone here subscribing.”

– Ah lol

– So that’s what it meant. lololol

– It suddenly sounds cheap when you say it’s a request to subscribe. lolol

– You haven’t even opened your MyuTube channel yet. lolol

– Ria, I’ve subscribed for now.

The current viewership of 25,000 will probably drop significantly from the next stream. I heard that people tend to flock to debut streams.

But I wanted to let many people know my name, so that someday I could do a live stream in front of this many people again.

The more people there are, the more people there will be who truly understand me.

“It’s already the last page. I’ve decided on a name to call you all in the future.”

Fan Character/Fan Name

A cute character illustration appeared on the screen.

Overall, it’s small and round. A light green body with large, round eyes. Thin, long leaves grew on top of its body, and a small flower bud grew in the gaps between the leaves, adding to its charm.

Instead of hands and feet, it had thin and soft vine-like limbs. There were also leaf-shaped wings on its back. The wings were bright green with golden veins, emphasizing the feeling of the forest and sunlight.

“This is what you all look like. What do you think?”

– Eh.. This is my appearance?

– A spirit?

– A forest spirit?

– I didn’t know I was this cute…

“That’s right. It’s a spirit.”

Actually, there’s no such thing as a forest spirit, but it was designed to have a connection with elves.

“It’s my debut stream, but I’m going to tell you a bit of a sad story.”

– Ah..

– Suddenly?

“When I came to Earth from the other world, all my connections with the spirits were severed.”

The separation from those I had been communicating with was definitely sad and empty.

But my desire to return was stronger, and I knew that the spirits wouldn’t be sad, so I was able to make the decision.

Spirits don’t dwell on momentary separations. Unlike elves, who are close to eternal but can still die, their existence is literally immortal.

Therefore, they accept even separation as a temporary event.

The time I spent with the spirits will forever remain in their memory, and they would have accepted my decision as a natural change.

Still, the longing didn’t completely disappear for me.

I told them about the process of that separation and my feelings.

Therefore, the fan character being a spirit is meaningful to me.

“I hope you will become new spirits who communicate with me by my side.”

– TT

– That’s touching.ᅮ

Yesssss!!

– From today, I’m no longer a shut-in বেকার, but a spirit.

– Then wouldn’t you be a jobless spirit..

– Ria, we’ll be together forever….

– The storytelling is amazing…

“The fan name is ‘Pia’. It’s a name that symbolizes spirits or harmony with nature.”

– You already decided on the fan name too.

– It seems okay?

– Too bad, deciding on a fan name is content too.

– It’s not bad to decide in advance.

This concludes the introduction using the prepared PPT.

Now it’s really the last part of the debut stream. Showing and explaining the full-body avatar.

“Now, the last part is left, right? I’m going to show you my appearance in detail.”

First, I removed my face from the screen and left only the virtual room visible.

– Ooh

– Something big is coming.

–

(*

– Quickly!!!

– I’ve been waiting for this. lolol

The moment I saw the chat’s reaction, I suddenly felt hesitant.

“Pias… Just a moment.”

This is content that has been prepared for a long time. The other members who debuted before me also went through this process.

But their models are just avatars separate from their real selves. They weren’t created based on their original appearance like mine.

It’s a 2D drawing style, so it doesn’t completely show me, but in any case, it’s a model that reflects most of my characteristics.

So.

I suddenly felt like I had to show and explain my body in detail in front of others.

Of course, I knew this was going to happen. I even did a rehearsal for the debut stream.

But there weren’t this many viewers back then.

The number 25,000 only indicated that many people had gathered. It wasn’t an element that made me nervous at all.

It definitely wasn’t, until just a moment ago.

But when that moment actually arrived, I felt more embarrassed and awkward than I expected.

I’ve never regretted my choice, not even once, but just now, the manager’s words came to mind.

Ria. A VTuber model being exactly like the real you means giving up many advantages.

– When are you coming?

– It’s taking a while to prepare..

– Show me quickly!!!

– Ria, I want to see you.

–

(*

The chat room is urging me. If I stall any longer, it’ll be a streaming accident where the atmosphere turns weird… So-called flaming.

I closed my eyes tightly and barely managed to open my mouth.

“Have you been waiting long? Now I’ll show you my entire appearance.”

At first, it was my feet in leather sandals. Brown leather straps crossed over, naturally holding my feet.

“These are leather sandals suitable for walking in the forest.”

– Oh

– Ooh…

– Oh, toes.

– Those pure white toes…

– Wow, this is

– Hehehe…..

– I totally like this. hehe

What are these people doing? I’ve only shown my feet so far. Is it okay for the atmosphere to change this quickly?

Quickly, I move the avatar up.

“Look at the end of the skirt here. It’s not simply finished in a straight line, right? Doesn’t it look like leaves or petals?”

– Nice, this is it.

– Hehehe… -Thighs

– Wow, I can’t hold back.

– Yeah, skirts should be short, you know what’s up.

– Your legs are really pretty.

– Thighs!!!

“Everyone. Please focus on the shape of the clothing. There are many delicate details, right? Even just looking at the belt here. It has a vine pattern engraved on it, and a silver ornament in the middle. Doesn’t it look neat and elegant?”

– It doesn’t catch my eye.ᅮ

– Ria, that’s an impossible request…

– Oh, it’s amazing (the thighs).

So everyone was hiding their true nature. No, wait, were the other members’ streams like this too when they were explaining their avatars? But I don’t think it was this bad. Is it because there’s a bit of skin showing?

This outfit is so comfortable for hunting.

I became afraid to raise the avatar any further. Based on the reactions so far, it was obvious what would happen.

But if I just stand here, I’ll only keep hearing about my thighs.

Yeah, there are more points on the upper body. Maybe.

“Can you see the green thread embroidered along the edges of the top? Below the neckline, there’s a small leaf-shaped brooch, right? It’s a symbol of elves.”

– Oh

– Boing lol

– Hehehe…

– Boiiing

– Hehe..

– Boing boing…

– Wow…… Look at that…

–

(*w*)

– Hehehe…

– I can’t hold back anymore.

– Oh, it’s big.

– Unnie

– The pride of the 3rd generation, D.e.r.i.a.

– G-Ria

How did you know it was a G? Is that something you can tell at a glance?

Anyway, I can’t hold on any longer. These people had no intention of listening to the explanation in the first place. Let’s just end it here.

“I, I think you’ve all seen enough of my appearance. I’ll stop here.”

I changed it to show only my face, like during the PPT.

– Ah…

– That’s not enough…

– Show

– us

– more

– I’m disappointed.ᅮ

– Give me back my heart.ᅮᅮ

– But is Ria’s face red?

– It’s probably an expression, right? lol That’s clever.

“Thank you for celebrating my debut today. I’ll see you on the next stream.”

I’ve made up my mind. From now on, it’s face-only streams.

And so, I finished my debut stream.
