Chapter 9: People repeat past mistakes…

“Uh, well, I should let you know in advance. During the 2-week break from broadcasting… I haven’t talked to anyone

else, so if I stammer or my voice is low, please understand…”

I didn’t want to hear such sad news right after you came…
Originally, you stammer and speak softly anyway.
Mei-chan…
Someday, our Mei-chan will become the real mood maker, right…?
I believe in Mei-chan! ((^▽^))0

“Ah, never mind. I talked to my mom, and today, I also had a short conversation with a classmate.”

That’s a relief.

Well, it’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t talked to people at all for 2 weeks.

Oh, oh.

Have I already climbed the first step out of being a total introvert?

Is it okay to count talking to your mom as a conversation?
Be quiet, you insensitive child.

It’s so sad that she refers to them as classmates, not friends.

Still, it’s nice that Mei-chan has someone else to talk to besides us. The world is still kind.
It seems like the RP is failing naturally, is that okay?

Ah, right.

I had forgotten since it’s been a while.

“Well, actually, I was planning to hang out with friends today, but I cancelled because of you guys! So, you should be thankful?!”

It’s already too late.
What a natural appeal of being an introvert right after coming.
Tsundere is so last season, Mei-chan.
“Ugh.”

Am I just a fool?

I had vowed to become a VTuber proudly affiliated with the Starflow 2nd generation, yet I’m making such mistakes from the very first return broadcast….

But I can’t just stay quiet about making mistakes.

Humans are beautiful creatures because they overcome their mistakes…!

“Today, I’m planning to have a simple chat. Since there were a lot of questions on MyCarong, I picked a few from there.”

Trying to skip past it naturally.
Well, what can you do…
It’s understandable, it’s Mei-chan after all.
But Mei-chan’s casual chat broadcast makes me feel uneasy.
“Be quiet! So, the first question!”

Ignoring the mocking comments in the chat, I broadcasted the MyCarong site’s screen.

[Hi Izumi!] [I watched the entire “Dark Uncle Survival” comic based on your recommendation!] [Then I also watched it as an anime, and I think I understand why you recommended it.] [It seems like we have similar tastes, so could you recommend other comics or anime?]

“Haa. I’m really glad that a new fan of ‘Dark Uncle’ has emerged.”

To be honest, “Dark Uncle” is an anime that has a very polarizing reception, even among its fans.

Since this viewer enjoyed it, they must be a kind person.

There’s no bad person among those who like “Dark Uncle.”

“To answer the question, among the recent anime I watched, ‘Magic is Science’ was really fun.”

‘Magic Science’ is about a scientist named Dr. Rachel who falls into a fantasy world. She decides to interpret magic through science, and the situations that arise are humorously presented. It matched my sense of humor perfectly.

‘Magic Science’ is fun.
It’s a good work to watch without using your brain.
It’s funny because there’s a lot of unnecessarily scientific stuff ᄏᄏ
Are you not going to explain the content like last time?
I liked the detailed explanation of “Dark Uncle” ᄏᄏ

“Oh, I’m not going to do that!”

I still remember all the chat messages from when I talked about “Dark Uncle.”

Whether it’s true or just a concept, and whether I stutter or not, it’s truly true.

Well, I’m not particularly hurt, but do you think I’ll fall for such an obvious trick?

“Well, still, to explain briefly…”

There might be people who really want to know the content, right?

It should be okay to give a brief explanation.

The person who sent this question also asked for recommendations, so it’s better to provide some content.

“Okay, I’ll keep the explanation about ‘Magic Science’ very short and simple.”

Looking at the clock, it was already getting close to 4:30.

And the chat was……

ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ

Didn’t you say you’d give a simple explanation?
Maybe Mei-chan got assigned homework from the ‘Magic Science’ creators?
Since you explained so much, I guess I’ll watch it at least once even though it’s a hassle.
We also have to admit our fault for not being able to stop you from enjoying explaining so much.
Truly terrifying broadcasting talent…!

Of course, they were mocking me as if it was only natural.

It’s strange.

I was planning to wrap it up very briefly, so why has it already been over an hour?

Is this place the Room of Time and Space?

“Uh, I’ll stop talking about ‘Magic Science’ here…”

Of course, there’s still more fun stuff to talk about, but if I go on, I feel like I’d be crossing an irreversible river.

“Then, moving on to the second question…”

[Hi Izumi!] [You mentioned the eighth star in your self-introduction. Besides Nacchan, which VTuber do you like?]

“Well, I do watch Kurokami-senpai’s broadcasts a lot.”

Kurokami Hikari (黒神光).

She’s a first-generation Starflow member, in other words, my direct senior.

With her pure white roll hair contrasted against her pitch-black dress and eyes.

At first glance, her beautiful appearance might captivate you, but her true character is that of a naughty and arrogant lady.

As expected, a lady.
I expected this since you said Nacchan was your favorite.
The Black Star is great.
Nacchan and Kucchan are fundamental among the fundamentals.
The chat responses were already anticipating this.

Well, as mentioned in the chat, the name ‘Black Star’ that Nacchan and Kucchan use in their collaborations is fundamental among the fundamentals.

Nacchan, who boasts an enormous positive energy, and Kucchan, who plays a role as an antagonist with a condescending noble lady concept.

Although Kucchan tries to put down Nacchan in every way, Nacchan’s personality, which accepts everything with a smile, reverses the situation, and Kucchan ends up flustered. This plot is already a classic.

Seeing their interactions makes me feel like all the curses I have against extroverts are dispelled, so I particularly like this combination.

“Especially, I like Kurokami-senpai’s clumsy villain acting because it’s cute.”

Villainess (goodness).
The true character of the lady acknowledged by her junior…
Is she the official PON of Starflow?
HMT
Did Mei-chan learn RP from Kucchan?
Not really.
The lady appears as PON because the results are not good, while Mei-chan is just openly failing ᄏᄏ.
Isn’t this declaring war on Kucchan?
A junior pointing out the senior’s RP, this is a serious matter.

“Th-that’s not what I meant!”

Why do you all try to turn everything I say into something so serious?

I wish you would be a bit kinder to me…

“Anyway, besides Natsune-senpai, Kurokami-senpai is probably the one I watch the most. Now, next question!”

[How often do you talk with your peers?]

Ah.
Dangerous question incoming.
This person must know that it’s a harsh question for Mei-chan and sent it anyway.
I feel like tears might flow soon…

“Hmm…

Actually, I wanted to leave this question out from the start. It’s already known how I’m treated among my peers from the recent collaboration broadcasts with Akabane-chan and Utsumi-chan.

But my manager said that facing it head-on would be better, so this question was included.

“Even if there are no conversations, I feel like our hearts are always one!”

And this was the answer I came up with after much thought.

Since I was uplifted by the support from Akabane-chan and Utsumi-chan, it’s not a complete lie.

That sounds like something a person with no friends would say…
Mei-chan… ( ́・…)/(._.)
Am I witnessing the darkness of Starflow 2nd generation?

“Oh?”

The reactions seemed somewhat mixed.

I thought I had said something nice.

“Ah, I don’t mean I never talk at all. Koga-chan, Utsumi-chan, Akabane-chan, and Aki-chan sometimes send messages through MissCode, so…”

Yeah. It’s not that there’s no conversation at all.

My colleagues are all so kind that they even greet someone like me first. And when I receive such greetings, I can at

least say “Thank you.” Since there’s a back-and-forth exchange, this is a conversation, right?

Have you ever initiated a conversation first? …Of course not.

But if someone like me were to start a conversation, they might feel uncomfortable, right? They would probably think

of me as some strange person trying to suddenly close the distance, wouldn’t they? That would completely shatter my

self-esteem.

No, it’s not strange that I’m like this. It’s actually strange for someone to casually start a conversation with others. It’s a bold move to act like that, knowing how the other person might think of them. For me, it’s impossible. My mind would just shut down.

“…Well, let’s wrap up this question here.”

Of course, if I say this, it’ll probably just cause more misunderstanding, so I should move on.

Is this what it means to be a mood maker…?
At this point, isn’t it really the fault of Starpl?

“Well, I still have about five more questions, but the timing is a bit off.”

Originally, I was supposed to finish the return broadcast by 5 PM according to what I discussed with the manager. But now it’s already 5:30 PM. If I answer all these questions, it might go past 7 PM.

“I’ll save the remaining questions for next time.”

Serves you right.
You’re the one who spent nearly an hour and a half on magic science.

Well, I can’t argue with that.

“Then, I’ll read the most recently updated Mycaron question and finish up…”

[Hazumi!] [As a JK, do you have a dream ideal type?]

Fortunately, this wasn’t a problematic question. It’s an easy question to answer.

“Hmm, well, for now, I like a small and cute girl.”

?
??
What a natural yuri move.
Ah.

“…I’ll end the broadcast now. Everyone, goodbye! See you next time!”

Bye, Hazumi!
At least this time you gave a proper goodbye ᄏᄏ
Indeed ᄏᄏ

[Virtual YouTuber, Kaino Izumi Discussion Thread 8]

Starting the return broadcast with a bang ᄏᄏ
Aren’t you a bit too into magic science?
But, just like that uncle, your preferences are totally male-oriented.
ᄏᄏᄏ He’s also a supporter of the Black Star.
Kuronatsu is here.
I feel like I could get closer to Mei-chan somehow…
Natural RP collapse and antisocial appeal.
Hasn’t grown at all in two weeks.
One-trick antisocial appeal ᄉᄀ
Yuri declaration came ᄏᄏᄏ
Is there a partner?
The new Starpl 2nd generation is full of yuri from the start.
Well, it’s an industry that claims to be idols. It’s better than that.
