– You made it to the hot topic board with just one word..

ᄂ’God’ needs no other adjective .

ᄂHot topic is all about timing.

– G.O.A.T.

– God exists and is streaming in the form of an elf.

ᄂAh, I heard Ria’s song. I must worship again today.

ᄂD-Ria.

ᄂGod-Ria.

ᄂThis b*tch can really sing. lolol

ᄂB*tch? Is God-chan your friend?

– Why is everyone making such a fuss? It’s just a VTuber singing, how good can it be?

ᄂDid you not watch the stream, dude?

ᄂDare not to doubt God.

ᄂGive the unbeliever God’s arrow…

Title: I found out Ria’s red pill.

Content: The singing ability she showed today.

Usually, they make them teenagers or drastically increase their age, but she’s an ambiguous 21 years old.

= She’s a 21-year-old aspiring singer.

+Addition: If she started training early, it’s also an age where she might not be able to debut and would be looking for another path. She might be a former idol trainee?

Comments:

– Do you not know what ‘found out’ means?

– Right, scribbling down your own headcanon and saying you found it out. lolol

– F*ck, I got excited and clicked because of the title.

– I also think 21 is probably her real age. There’s no merit in setting it that way.

ᄂShe’s a hag if she’s 21, though.

ᄂ(That’s-rotten-food-ticon)

ᄂIf you’re over 20, you’re not a woman, though..

ᄂCan these b*stards be arrested if reported? They seem really dangerous.

– What, isn’t the VTuber’s age their real age? Stop with the delusions.

– She’s definitely not an aspiring singer or trainee. If she was really from that background, she’d be destroyed.

– Stop with the forced negativity. She sang well.

– It’s not forced negativity, she’s not at the level of an aspiring singer. She definitely has experience as an active singer.

– Is she that good??

– Yes.. She’s that good. In phrasing, she preserves the original song’s emotion while also adding her own personality, and this kind of detail isn’t just from training, but a skill honed on actual stages. Her dynamic control and vocal flexibility are also excellent. Her control of attack and release is also exceptional.

– Why are you writing this in the comments.. If you added some explanations, it would make it to the hot topic board.

– Then there might be songs released before her debut with a similar voice.

– Time, Bill Gates, Pazijik posters, someone ‘find it’.

Title: What became clear today..

Nagi <<< This b*tch is confirmed to be washed up.

Upvote if you agree.

Comments:

– The upvote/downvote ratio is really balanced..

– I’m a Feather, but I’m upvoting while crying.ᅮ

– Don’t take away Nagi’s title as the strongest singer.ᅮᅮ

– Blooming Core’s number one singer, Nagi? Taken down with one stream!

– Why are you overreacting? She can’t compare to Nagi yet.

– lolol Can’t compare to Nagi? This b*stard didn’t watch the stream.

– Are you saying that after listening to everything?

– Then you have a hearing impairment.

– Nagi is screwed now. She was focusing on singing because her live stream viewership was low.

– What do you mean her viewership is low? There are many below her in Blooming Core.

– If you look closely, people are forcing negativity on Nagi a lot.

– It’s because she accumulated a lot of unlikeability points.

– So does she have a song video with 6 million views on MyuTube? Has she ever been on the music charts?

– Ria hasn’t released a song yet.

– Yeah, even if she releases one, she’ll never reach that level~

– If you’re beaten, get out of here, you Feather b*stard.

– It’s only been 3 days since her debut, why are the Pias so cocky? The more you do this, the worse your owner’s image gets.

– (Gritting teeth)

– Mod, look. If you don’t suppress VTubers, this kind of idiotic fight breaks out.

Title: A collection of songs Ria sang today…clip

Content: (Song video 1)

(Song video 2)

(Song video 7)

I couldn’t bring them all, just the impressive ones.

Comments:

– You have good taste in music, you picked out the really amazing ones.

– It’s a song, is it okay to bring it like this? There must be copyright.

– It should be fine if it’s short?

– I’ll have to review with this until the VOD comes out. lolol

– Today’s stream was really legendary.

– Seeing it live was a life achievement.

– Wow, I just saw it through the clip, what is this? It’s phenomenal.

– You didn’t see this live? Are you an idiot?

– I was working overtime, you f*cker.ᅮᅮ

– You should have been slacking off on your own.

– That’s why I didn’t get a job.

– The high notes in Say Yes still give me goosebumps.

– Every time I play it, my body flinches.

– She’s just shooting out ultrasonic waves.

– Isn’t that the highest note a human can produce?

– I don’t think it’s that high. lolol

– Has anyone cried while listening to the song? I cried..

– I didn’t cry, but I did tear up a bit.

– I sobbed while listening to Sunset Glow…

– I cried at Ria’s self-composed song.

– Dude, have you been in a war or something?

– I haven’t, I don’t know why I cried either.

– You can get swept up in the atmosphere.. That’s how well Ria sang.

Title: Announcement on Z! lolol

Blooming Core Official @BloomingCore_Official

[Urgent Announcement]

Blooming Core’s 3rd generation Esumi Ria (@Esumi_Ria-) has pre-released her original song **’On That Day’**!

The official release date will be announced later.

It’s a special first song written and composed by Ria herself! Did you all enjoy it on the stream?

We’ll be back soon with a more polished song! Please look forward to it!

#BloomingCore #EsumiRia #OriginalSong #OnThatDay

Comments:

– F*ck, urgent announcement. lololol

– So Ria did cause trouble. lolol

– I told you, the story she made up is the content of the music video. lolol

– She probably didn’t intend to reveal it, but got carried away while singing…

– ‘A digital single probably won’t be released.’

– ‘It’s strange to make money from a song I didn’t make.’

– I really wanted to slap her then..

– It’s just confusing because the RP is mixed in when she needs to be clear. lolol

– So she pre-released it, but she said it wasn’t a self-composed song, so they urgently made an announcement. lolol

– CEO Baek, who was all smiles because of the 3rd generation’s successful debut, is crying after 3 days.ᅮ

– So why is there no Ria stream tomorrow? I need to scold her for talking nonsense.

– All of the 3rd generation aren’t streaming…

– Do they normally match their days off like this by generation?

– I don’t think so? They just said they’re having a 3rd generation gathering tomorrow.

– The gathering story will be good too. lolol

Group chat of the members.

*Koharu: Unnies!! I thought of something fun!!

*Karen: Oh? What is it?

Koharu: Two of us haven’t seen each other’s faces, right? When we meet, let’s try to guess who’s who~!!

*Sara: I think I’ll know right away if I hear your voices.

*Koharu: Ah… (Rabbit emoticon with cold sweat)

*Sara: You idiot.

– I’m gonna hit you, I’m gonna hit you so hard.

*Karen: lolol Are you two together right now?

Sara: Yeah, we decided to meet up near my place and go together.

*Koharu: Change your voices!! Everyone can do that much, right??

*Karen: I can, but…

*Koharu: The person who guesses wrong buys coffee~!!

Sara: The probability is only one-half, though.

Koharu: Then the person who chooses first has an advantage! The remaining person has to choose the other one!!

*Karen: I don’t think that’s a good idea?

*Koharu: Huh? Why?ᅮ Does it seem boring? (Rabbit emoticon crying loudly)

*Karen: No.. I just don’t think there’s any point in choosing.

Koharu: What does that mean…??

*Ria: Let’s try it. I want to see if I can guess.

*Karen: Yeah, let’s just do it. hehe It’ll be a test of reflexes for those two, though..

*Ria: I guess it will be?

*Koharu: Huh?? I still don’t get it~!

“Thank you.”

In front of the Blooming Core building.

I thanked the taxi driver and got out. I put the phone I was using to chat in my pocket.

I headed to the 3rd floor where the CEO and the manager were waiting.

Since they went through a lot because of me yesterday, and will probably continue to do so in the future, I decided to use honorifics when thinking about them, even when I’m alone.

“Hello.”

“Ria, you’re here?”

“Yes, Ria, welcome. How do you manage to surprise me every time I see you?”

It’s probably not meant in a bad way, right? Because the CEO has a smile on his face.

“Why?”

“Because you’re so pretty. With the sunglasses, you look like a model. Don’t you think so, Manager?”

“Ria’s appearance is flawless. Her personality is a bit unique, but… It would be boring if she was too perfect.”

‘What’s wrong with my personality?’

Even though I thought that to myself, I felt a bit bothered, but I decided not to show it.

I took off my sunglasses and sat down.

“But Ria. You can’t suddenly announce a self-composed song on stream like yesterday, okay? The manager explained it to you, so I won’t nag you anymore, okay?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. So here’s the digital single contract. You haven’t heard about this properly yet, right? If you contributed over 90% to the song with the lyrics and melody, why does the company take 20%? Don’t you have any questions like that?”

“No. I didn’t expect to make any profit from that song. I’ll just sign it.”

“Look at her. Why are you trying to sign it so quickly? You’re going to get into trouble.”

In the end, I could only sign after listening to a fairly detailed explanation.

“I think the others will be here soon.”

*Koharu: Whoa, we met at the entrance!!! Who could it be? Is it Karen unnie! Is it Ria unnie!

Sara: Why are you so nervous when you don’t even know who it is. lolol You’re only giving short answers.

*Koharu: This has to be done properly to be fun!! I’m even using a completely different voice right now~~

I looked down at my phone for a moment, then put it face down and said to the CEO.

“I think they all arrived at once.”
