VTuber RP Is Not a Concept - Chapter 103
“No… You don’t have to answer. I understand.”
Being rough in a broadcast context means pushing oneself forward and taking the initiative. Asking for understanding shifts away from the junior’s perspective and focuses solely on the entertainment value of the broadcast. Moreover, it is a request to mentally prepare so that their presence won’t be overshadowed.
“Confidence is good, but I’ve been broadcasting for quite some time too. I won’t be easily dragged along.”
Regardless of the favorable impression felt upon seeing their face, a broadcast is a broadcast. If their presence evaporates, the senior’s reputation will suffer, as the junior worries.
“…Is it really necessary?”
“Is that so? I’ll keep that in mind for now.”
Contrary to the short response, Jusea’s mind was complicated.
‘What is this…? Are they saying that being led under their own initiative is what brings out my presence? Is it possible to cover my reactions right off the bat? Just how prepared are they for today’s broadcast?’
Jusea thought more than they let on.
When thoughts pile up… excessive meaning can arise.
They initially misanalyzed their opponent. With the added shock of their perfect appearance, the junior’s image was raised a couple of notches in Jusea’s mind.
If not, they would have focused on why the junior mentioned the demon roleplay in the first place…
In someone’s grand delusion, the collaboration time was approaching.
***
“I won’t be easily dragged along…” The senior revealed their will to resist during the righteous verification process for demons.
‘Do they know that the inner evil is the essence of demons? Is that why they fear proving their goodness could break the roleplay?’
However, for the sake of the blooming core collaboration, and not just this time… the senior must submit today. As a hero, they cannot present the image of mingling with demons who haven’t passed verification.
“‘Prove It’ as the broadcast title seems good, senior.”
“…What are we proving?”
“Of course, we have to prove your innocence and purity. Since you’re a demon.”
“Are you seriously saying that thing you replied to from Z? Do you really intend to do that?”
Why was their reaction unexpected? What exactly was the senior intending to resist against?
Well, that wasn’t particularly important right now.
“Alright. If it’s what you’ve prepared… I’ll keep the atmosphere lively, so come in at the right time.”
“Okay.”

“Hi Miya~! Thanks for coming to see us today!”
As always, the tone and atmosphere of the voice flipped instantly as soon as they started the broadcast.
– Did something big happen?
– Wow, I can see this picture!
– First collaboration between 3rd generation students and 2nd generation!
– The first collaboration is an offline stream, lol. Legendary.
– Miya, even called a senior to her house, lol.
– (Who dares to say ‘come here’ to a senior?)
“Well, it seems like everyone knows this already, but~ today we have a truly amazing guest!”
– Yeah, yeah, we all know, hurry and bring them out.
– What is Ria doing? Is she right next to you?
– I’m jealous of them meeting in real life…ㅜ
– What do you think about the recent theory that Ria feels inferior?
– How does she look in real life? lol
“Yes. Our lovely junior Ria is right next to me~ Only I can see her! And whatever the situation is, I think the theory about Ria feeling inferior is accurate!”
– Oh my.
– Unveiling right away, whoa.
– Ria looks like this in person…
– Breaking news) Ria joins the bum squad again.
– Was she flat…ㅜ
– No way, I didn’t think Ria’s mid would be as flat as Earth…
– ???
“Anyone who sees Ria can’t help but feel inferior! That’s what I meant~ When Ria came to my house, it felt like I was bathed in celestial light! A total goddess! And her body is perfect… I might have felt a bit intimidated myself?”
– Did she just say she feels inferior? lol
– Breaking news) Ria resumes being in the bum squad.
– No way, is it really like she said?
– It feels like she’s just saying good things because she’s a junior… lol
– It seems like Miya really gets intimidated by Ria. lol
– Information) Miya feels intimidated by almost all women.
– You… really were bad.
– Original leader of the bum squad,ㅜㅜ
“Pfft. It’s okay! Miya’s charm lies in her cuteness!”
She grumbled with her mouth, but there was no emotional turmoil whatsoever. But what would it feel like for someone with a small bust to hear such words? H as she was, she couldn’t understand. In fact, she felt like she was a bit bigger than the junior.
In any case, since it was an offline collaboration, attempts to subtly probe would continue. Better to clearly bring it up now than later. Even if it was a lie, saying something positive would help, and Ria was lacking in such expressions.
“Hehe. I can watch Ria and hold her hand like this? Jealous, right?”
Although she hadn’t actually held hands, she was planting some bait to meet the expectations of the offline collaboration.
– Why are you the only one looking?ㅜ
– You brought her along to satisfy your own desires!
– Senior’s tyrannyㅜㅜ
– I can see Ria is quiet in front of her, lol
It would be nice if the junior would come in around here… As that thought crept in, Ria spoke up. As expected, her broadcasting sense was excellent.
“Not yet. We haven’t held hands yet.”
What was surprising was why she felt the need to explicitly mention that, and her voice was firm enough to be close to serious.
– Rihah
– Lol, Ria is keeping her distance?
– Guess it was just a loser’s delusion…
“May the blessings of the forest be with you. To all the lovely Miya-bis who have watched over this place. And to Pia, who has traveled a long way.”
– Wow, her speech is very different, lol.
– She really exudes elegance~
– Unlike Miya, she has a pure aura…
– The Pia group feels a little shy…?
– While the group collaboration was okay, when speaking like that in front of a senior…
– But that’s natural.
“First, I’d like to ask for permission from the Miya-bis. Unfortunately, the senior is a demon. Until their goodness is proven, I plan to treat them a bit strictly. Is that okay?”
– Oh, of course^^7
– Yes~~~!
– Treat them strictly? ㅗㅜㅑ
– Yes~ Please keep them in line!
– Was that what the broadcast title meant…
– Ria-style teasing of the title, lol.
– But Ria, you’re still just a junior…
– Did Miya get sucked in already?ㅜ
– Sucked in? ㅗㅜㅑ
“No, it’s that senior’s majesty I’m properly showcasing~ Ria asked, so Miya made a concession~ Right?”
“Senior.”
The answer that came through was a voice as cold as ice.
“This is no joke. Approach it seriously.”
“Uh, uh…”
– She’s already been sucked in.
– No, Ria, it’s a senior, lol.
– I’m already strong, so what can I do?
– Ria is the confident one even in front of 30,000 people!
Is this how one comes on strong? Seeing the junior’s side profile, they were slightly taken aback. The expression was eerily serious.
“I’ll start with a few simple questions. You can think carefully, but some questions may be regarded unfavorably if you take too long. Keep that in mind.”
There was absolutely no emotion present. It was a tone that was not only businesslike but chilling.
When the junior acted roughly and said they would take charge of the broadcast… naturally, I interpreted it as a desire to elevate the tension. To speak more directly. To play a more intense joke. To throw provocative comments.
Yet this… was truly a cold approach, emotionally distancing themselves. If they strolled in this way…
‘The broadcast will break down!’
Quickly, I shifted my gaze to the chat window.
– It’s scaryㅜ
– Really strict, whoa.
– Don’t be surprised, it’s WWE~
– It feels just like handling a demon… lol.
– I know it’s Ria acting…
– Since she’s a demon, where’s the honorifics? lol
– Listening to Ria’s story, I can finally understand why they disliked demons since the debut.
Everyone… seems to be accepting it fairly well?
I’ve seen various discussions about Ria in several communities recently. I’ve occasionally watched the broadcasts, but generally speaking, I hadn’t seen more broadcasts than I had.
So. I didn’t know that simply being a demon roleplay would make this kind of attitude permissible, as if they had trained the viewers.
‘Well, to be thorough, she couldn’t have misjudged the boundaries permitted on a broadcast.’
The emotionally serious expression reappeared. It was a truly professional attitude toward acting.
While it was somewhat different from expectations… I guess I could adjust somehow.
“Here’s the first question. If a village considers you a dangerous being and tries to k*ll you, how would you act?”
“Uh, huh?”
Brain freeze. There was no word better to describe their state than this one.
Instinctively, they repeated the question to buy themselves time to think.
“…Wait a minute. The villagers are trying to k*ll Miya? Because I look dangerous?”
And then they spilled out a somewhat witty response.
“Miya couldn’t possibly look dangerous! Of course, cuteness can be lethal, though!?”
But the junior looked at her blankly and coldly said,
“I think that answer is basically avoiding the question. Please think carefully about your next response.”
Is she genuinely asking for a careful answer? Like I’m attending a morality or philosophy class?
– If you say nonsense about lethal cuteness, you should be cut off, lol.
– The atmosphere of genuine verification, haha.
– She’s being interrogated by her junior at her own home, lol.
– Ria, just buy a bowl of sulungtang for the senior, haha.
– Ria was an archer, not a swordsman.
– Not fun.
Right. I’m the only one who’s flustered, but the viewers’ reactions seem to be better than expected. Time to give it a proper attempt.
“Think of one person you’ve encountered who you truly believed to be good.”
“…Okay. I have someone in mind.”
“Is that person still alive?”
The questions are just too heavy! They’re heavy!
