4,365 viewers: Kuroneko San – Channel Subscribers 896
AkaiLukman: Hm, the stream is about to start
YaeeaY: I’m excited to see the first member of Arutema second generation, home she can handle the pressure
TnM: Agree, @AkaiLukman, do you realize that the V-tubers have grown in number over the past few months?
lovelivesidosura7532: Flat-chested black-haired cat girl, lick, lick
elsadote: ↑ Reported
gaesnesiach8701: Arutema first generation had a diverse set of personalities, so the second generation should be exciting too!
“Uh, uh-eh.”
The screen in front of me is filled with anticipation and excitement, displayed in a flurry of text.
It’s an unprecedented feeling of tension and anxiety in my current life.
To be more specific, even though the starting time has long passed, I’m struggling to get started due to hesitation.
“I-I can’t believe I passed that audition back then…”
Certainly, my action to join the Vtuber Audition was something that happened in a lapse of judgment.
But acting on impulse and then regretting it later is something common among adolescents, I think.
Every time, despite the regrets and worries, the results usually turn out to be less significant than anticipated, often turning out to be needless worries.
Yet, this time, that adolescent behavior has unexpectedly brought forth significant results.
I, somehow, managed to pass and get chosen for the major role of being the top-billed debut streamer for the up-and-coming virtual YouTuber group “Arutema” as a second-generation member.
AkaiLukman: How unusual, the stream has not started yet
Palakabu: Yeah, 3 minutes have passed.
Arimuchanisthebest: Well, well. Being a girl involves a lot of preparation.
Hfert: ↑ Oh, I see. That’s a learning experience.
Thorfrigson: ↑↑ If the top member were a guy, it would be a disaster.
Ardian_Pash: Santai aja kak, jangan panik.
The comments gradually fill with words of concern, and I’m completely overwhelmed. I’m hyperventilating with a blue face.
Don’t they usually prefer professionals for virtual YouTubers? Most of them are internet celebrities, right? (In my previous life)
My company-provided smartphone has been buzzing with a barrage of LINE messages from the agency, and I’m too scared to look at them…
However, I must gather my courage soon.
If I leave things as they are, I’ll likely become an obscure presence on the internet, and Kuroneko San will disappear without anyone to accompany her, without her soul dwelling within her.
It all began with the desire to change my current self.
I didn’t want to end my life in shades of gray, so I stepped into this dazzling world.
Then, there’s only one way to go.
Pamper me and live an easy-mode life!
With determination, I unmute my microphone and display my avatar on the screen.
“Good evening, nyaaa~~~!!!”
Liliups: Here it comes━(゜∀゜)━!
Ardian_Pash: Suaranya keras jir!
Natasha: Добрый вечер, ня~
AbsurdGamiing: Shut up!!!! (Hits belly)
Shuroneko: Lower the mic, the mic!
Malai: Heh, how nostalgic, this is what Arutema is like
“Huh, huh? Is the sound too loud?”
I got too excited!
I hurriedly adjust the microphone.
“U-Um, is this okay? Is the volume fine?”
AkaiLukman: No, now the volume is just too small.
Natasha: Она не знает меры, Куронеко-сан.
Isseihyodou: Both her chest and the sound are small…
Malwarevy: Ohohoho, the newbie’s getting teased right away
Oh, huh?
While struggling with the volume adjustment, it feels like my character’s image has been irreparably damaged.
“Um, um, this should be fine. How is it?”
Vantalcs: It’s good!
Popularmmos: It finally started
MrBreast: It’s been 10 minutes already
“Ah, ah, ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Sorry for being clumsy.”
kadekdiah9: It’s okay
AkaiLukman: Don’t worry Kuroneko-san, you’re new, so it can’t be helped
elsadote: Actually, your unfamiliarity with how everything work is quite charming
covarta: For now, introduce yourself
The viewers are here…
Tears, which have become more easily triggered since becoming a woman, are on the verge of breaking free as I read the encouraging comments one after another.
“Sniff, thank you so much. Thank you for encouraging someone like me. I love my viewers.”
After sniffing and blowing my nose, I regain my composure and move on to introducing myself.
I have various bitter memories associated with self-introductions, but this time, I’ve worked on a self-introduction text in consultation with my manager in advance, so I’m fully prepared.
I quickly display a notepad on the computer screen.
【Notepad】
Nice to meet you, everyone. I’m Kuroneko San, a new member of the second generation of Arutema virtual YouTubers.
You can call me San-chan or Kuroneko-san since “Kuroneko San” is a bit hard to say, nya♡
My dream is to have plenty of sweets and make lots of friends, so I’d be happy if everyone could get along with me, nya~.
If you’re even a little interested in me, please subscribe to the channel, give it a thumbs up, and follow me on Twitter, nya!
Well then, there’s a lot to prepare, like deciding on tags and so on, so let’s get to work, nya!
elsadote: Ah
Vantalcs: Ah
covarta: Ah
AkaiLukman: Kuroneko-san, your script is visible
Mortaron: Oh no
Localnimation: Heh, a promising newcomer has arrived
TheDanishFurryGamer: The future of Vtubers is bright
ItzNyx23: It’s too bright to the point I can’t see anything though
“A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!!!”
shadow_eileen3549: Shut up!
honeyhu-mf4ub: It’s not the voice of a pretty girl
BoopLord324: Her character’s fixed now
xifeiyunwuyeyue2161: The viewers have lost their inhibitions too
Enough! It’s enough! End the stream!!!
