ALL NOVEL Chapter 324
[This is the end of today’s broadcast!]
Yukari confidently shouted on screen.
Of course, her appearance was different from when we first met.
Instead of pink-blond hair in half twin-tails and light brown eyes, she now had red side-tails and gray eyes.
As Nekoto mentioned last time, if we had to clarify, this appearance suits the title of the Red Witch much better.
However, if I were to tell her that, she would yell, “Don’t insult the hair my grandmother passed down to me!” in anger.
[Now, finally that guy is coming! He is the undisputed strongest among us! I wonder if you guys can really handle it!]
-Expectations are rising…
-Who is that guy that Ayaka has been talking about since yesterday?
But why do those kids keep raising their expectations of me?
Since yesterday, Ayaka has been nonstop talking about how “the one debuting last is super cute!”
To be honest, I have zero confidence…
At first, I was genuinely happy thinking that this was something I could do without seeing people’s faces, but once I learned the reality, honestly, I wanted to run away.
A job where I have to keep chatting and bringing joy to the viewers… that is, the fans?
Huh? Do you really think that’s something a god who has been cooped up for thousands of years can do?
I really don’t like it, but when I was in the divine realm, my nickname was【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】, you know?
You can easily imagine how awful my communication skills must be.
Giving a job that constantly requires talking to someone like that…
“P-please let me avoid meeting people as much as possible…”
Of course, what I asked for certainly matches this job, so I can’t complain…!
“Uuuu…”
On top of that, this VTuber thing has character settings. Apparently, there’s something called RP.
And the RP I was given is….
Name: Izumi Kainoh
Age: ???
Birthday: June 12th
Species: Water Avatar
Description: Humanity’s civilization has always thrived alongside water. The Water Avatar takes pride in the fact that she has advanced humanity’s civilization, which has since turned into a strong desire to experience that civilization herself.
With a vibrant personality, she is called the atmosphere maker in the divine realm and is popular among everyone around her.
Huh?
The atmosphere maker?
The Avatar named【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs】who has only been out of her nook once in thousands of years is an atmosphere maker…?
It’s clear that that kid Renka dislikes me.
If that weren’t the case, this tyranny wouldn’t be explainable.
But now I can’t run away.
If I give up and flee back to the divine realm, I can’t even imagine how long that nickname will get.
And it’s now 9:27 PM.
The broadcast start time was right in front of me.
[【First Broadcast】Nice to meet you all! I am the Water Avatar, Izumi Kainoh! #KainoIzumi #StarsFlow]
I’ve finished setting the broadcast title as my manager told me…
And the real-time viewer count is… 83,291.
Not 8,329.
83,291.
What’s with all these people wanting to watch my broadcast…?
Of course, I know the reason as I’ve done my research.
Originally, this market wasn’t that popular.
However, the company I’m a part of, Stars Flow, is the first VTuber production to collaborate with the government to hire “mystics” like us.
The first VTuber production to prominently feature mystics as virtual idols.
That was enough to catch the attention of many children, and additionally, the video of that kid Natsune, whom I’ve come to admire, became a huge hit, causing the company to rapidly grow.
According to some kids, it’s a company where just getting accepted guarantees a lifelong free ride.
For now, it’s quite unstable, but that means the company’s growth is assured.
Therefore, it’s only natural that so many kids are gathering for my broadcast.
“Ugh…”
At 9:30 PM.
It’s finally time to start the broadcast.
I take a slow breath and unmute the microphone.
And my first words are…
“E-e-everyone, h-h-h hello…”
Yep, I messed up.
I should start preparing to return to the divine realm.
★
What is a god?
No matter what tribe you bring, the differences are great.
It’s almost rude to compare.
Though there’s a hierarchy among the gods, there’s no way to compare one to another species.
No matter how much the kids study “water,” they can’t defeat Izumi, the Water Avatar.
No matter how long children’s lifespans grow, they cannot keep up with a god’s eternity.
No matter what it is, the children can never surpass a god.
That’s just “natural.”
In other words, Izumi, who has been holed up for thousands of years living a hikikomori neet life…
“Aah, uh… I, I am the W-water, the 【Water Avatar】…”
It naturally implies that my communication skills are extraordinary too.
It’s no wonder my nickname changed from 【Loli Big Boobs Avatar】 to 【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】.
And in fact, this was even shortened from 【Hikikomori Neet Outcast Communication Impairment Loli Big Boobs Avatar】.
This indicates that the majority of gods recognize this.
The idea that the Avatar known as Izumi was born from the concept of hikikomori neet outcast communication impairment doesn’t seem strange at all.
In fact, it was acknowledged by those transcendent beings.
★
-What’s the difference between a goddess and an avatar?
-This goddess is so cute…
“Aah, uh… that… an avatar is, um…”
I feel like I definitely explained this right after descending, so why am I bringing it up again?
I have no clue…
Gods are definitely beings that should be respected by children.
But strangely, I feel like I’m being treated like a pet by everyone.
Well.
Since the Bifrost opened and the descent started, quite a while has passed.
A god is surely a being of reverence for the children, but they probably don’t feel like it’s something to worship as they used to.
Having realized that we, who don’t use our divine powers, are more similar to them than they thought.
-How strong is Izumi-chan?
“Um… I’d say I’m quite a s-s-strong god as a 【Water Avatar】…”
-They say you’re called the atmosphere maker in the divine realm? I really don’t see that ㅋ
“W-well…”
What should I even say in response?!
I heard RP is very important in the VTuber industry.
But I’ve never once heard such things in the divine realm…!
I have to maintain the RP, but I don’t want to lie to the kids…
So what I chose is…
“Um… I guess that’s how it was…”
It was a retreat.
What? At least one person in the divine realm might have thought of me as an atmosphere maker.
Yeah. I suppose that’s a satisfactory answer.
-The atmosphere maker (laughs)
-Is that what you mean by Mei-chan ㅋㅋ
“Me-Mei-chan…?”
Huh?
Could it be that this is a nickname the kids gave me?
Not some trashy name like 【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】, but a cute nickname like this…
“Uheehee…”
Being a VTuber might be pretty fun?
-The reactions are strange.
-I thought for sure you’d hate it…
-Rather, that look is cuter.
Huh? Is there any reason to hate this?
Children’s thoughts can be quite hard to understand sometimes.
“Cough cough. W-well, from now on, you guys, you Izutomo… let’s get along well!”
Izutomo.
It means friends of Izumi…
Seeing the kids casually refer to a god as a friend brings a mix of emotions.
But it wasn’t negative.
Maybe I should say it was a sense of expectation?
I’m facing the unknown that even a god can’t predict, so it’s only natural to feel excited.
-How did you end up in Stars Flow?
“Ah, um… I, I said I wanted to have a job where I wouldn’t encounter people after descending, and that’s how I ended up here.”
-So you’re saying you weren’t interested in this place?
“I-I could say that, but… yeah. Seeing one girl on stage with platinum hair made me genuinely want to try too…”
-Was it about Natsune?
-Natsune’s stage is definitely attractive.
“That girl’s name is Natsune, huh…”
I understood that well.
Later, I’ll have to contact Renka or the manager to ask them to hook me up with that girl.
“Hmmm… then shall we wrap up the first broadcast…?”
And the moment I said that… the chat erupted.
-Is that voice, perhaps 【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】?
“…Huh?”
★
-Is that voice, perhaps 【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】?
It was a miracle that one of the viewers, a god who knew Izumi’s real appearance, was there.
Moreover, it was a miracle that Izumi read that fleeting chat.
And it was also a miracle that she read it without thinking.
Thanks to those three miracles, Izumi’s first broadcast turned into…
-【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs】, huh
-What the heck is that nickname ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“D-don’t! D-don’t call me that name!”
It all became chaotic.
Hearing that nickname was partially the reason Izumi came down to the mortal realm, and it was a trigger for her panic button.
-【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs】!
-【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs】!
-These guys are too much ㅋㅋㅋ
Fans who were dead serious about teasing the VTuber obviously wouldn’t remain silent.
Even if the identity of the opponent was a transcendent being, to them, Izumi was just another VTuber for now.
“I-I don’t like it…! I came down to the mortal realm to escape that name…!”
She was certainly not in a state to be called a transcendent being.
And there was, of course, no Izutomo who would stop teasing her.
“Uuuuuu… Wahhhh…! I hate you all…!”
Thus, Izumi, who had gained two disgraceful nicknames, Mei-chan and 【Hikikomori Neet Loli Big Boobs Avatar】 during her first broadcast, ended up sobbing as she ended the show.
No one needed to say it; the Yeo-sang was evident.
And at the same time…

A new record was set.
Gaining the nickname of the Water Avatar and the Goddess of Yeo-sang was just a bonus.
