VTuber RP Is Not a Concept - Chapter 77

[Origin Rift Gallery]

Title: The prelude starts and clouds flow leisurely.

Content: I alone stand on the ramparts, looking down at the village. A peaceful place with green fields and red roofs lined up.

Soon the wind blows, and my hair and clothes flutter. I slowly open my mouth.

[Leah]: “On that day, when the wind blew,”
[Leah]: “I just looked up at the sky.”

[– Yeah… this is it… Leah singing is a god.]
[– A magical transformation to pure and innocent in 1 second.]
[– Smooth yet poignant…😭]
[– Immersion from the first verse.]
[– I knew acapella was amazing, but it can get even better ㄷㄷ]

[Leah]: “On that day, when the rain poured,”
[Leah]: “I walked on, drenched.”

The wind gets stronger, and the flag hanging on the ramparts flutters violently. Soon, the end tears and flies into the sky.

Following the wind, the point of view switches to a soldier.

A battlefield with dark clouds hanging over it. The soldier looks at the battlefield with a tired face amidst the black smoke. His armor and clothes are stained with dust and blood, and he holds a heavy sword and shield in his hands.

[Leah]: “On that day, when the wind blew,”
[Leah]: “I just looked up at the sky.”

The previous lyrics are repeated, and the point of view is mine again. I come down from the ramparts and start walking through the village. Accordingly, the surrounding atmosphere also changes. The people on the street disappear one by one. Windows are closed, the flowers on the roadside wither, and the colors of the village gradually fade.

[– What’s with the direction…]
[– 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤]
[– ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ✨]
[– The emotion is really bb.]
[– Ah, I’m going crazy… It’s so good.]

Back to the soldier, and the endless march. As the lyrics say, following the soldier’s eyes looking up at the sky, the scene naturally changes to where I am.

A village that has now become a complete ruin. I slowly walk through the ruins, singing.

[Leah]: “On that day, when everything disappeared,”
[Leah]: “I wandered the empty streets.”

Touching the scorched wall carefully, the music video ends.

[– Kyaaaa]
[– Ah, I cried again at this age ㅜoㅜ]
[– Lift your head. It’s not shameful to cry listening to this song.]
[– If you don’t cry listening to Leah’s song in your 20s, you have no heart. -Plato-]
[– How did that person listen to Leah’s song?]
[– Both the music video and the song are good, Leah ㅎㅎ]
[– But is it right to just take a walk while the soldier is suffering? ㅋㅋ]
[– It’s historical accuracy~]

“It’s historical accuracy?”

“It’s just symbolically expressed because it’s a music video.”

“Shall we take another look while listening?”

[– Good good.]
[– She knows what she’s doing ㅋㅋㅋ]
[– Like a reaction video of her own?]

“At the beginning, where the flag flies away, I immediately pressed pause.”

“Which country does this flag belong to?”

[– Ro…han?]
[– It seems like an homage to that ㅋㅋ]
[– How would we know if you ask us…]

“It’s the Asterian Principality.”

“There was a speculation that the soldier who made the song was from there.”

“Considering the poetic sense contained in the song, it’s said that it’s probably a country where the aristocratic culture that values poetry and music has developed.”

[– Isn’t that too much of a high-ranking perspective?]
[– Soldiers can write lyrics well too.]
[– What are you saying? Are you praising yourself for writing the lyrics well?;;]
[– Shh.]
[– Get a clue ㅡㅡ]

“So it’s just speculation.”

“Due to the war, commerce and trade in the Principality rapidly declined, and the financial base of the nobles collapsed.”

“The story is that he might be a soldier from such a fallen noble family.”

[– ZZZ…]
[– Professor, he’s sleeping during class.]
[– WiseYouth.]
[– It’s 24 hours, so you have to save your stamina from time to time ㅋㅋㅋ]
[– Didn’t you say you were going to react to the song..? ]
[– I kind of felt like this would happen when you said you’d watch it again ㅋㅋㅋ]
[– What did you expect from Leah?]

“ZZZ chat is prohibited.”

“It can’t be helped if you secretly sleep, but you shouldn’t openly show it, right?”

“For the Pias who might be interested in my story, I made sure that the atmosphere didn’t become one where everyone fell asleep.”

“Whenever necessary, I stopped and explained which parts of the music video reflected my opinion.”

“…This part, I actually wanted to put in a battle scene.”

“But they said it was difficult due to the music video production schedule.”

“Still, there are elements that imply a march towards the Battle of Kaldora Plains.”

“You can see it from the flags of the participating units and the surrounding scenery.”

[– Can you stop pausing the music video so much…?]
[– It’s annoying if you interrupt the reaction video too often ㅋㅋ]
[– I’m a newbie, let’s listen to the song properly ㅜ]
[– Oh no! You missed the premiere. Instead, I’ve prepared a Leah lecture for you.]
[– What, give me back my viewing ticket.]
[– I’m frustrated, so I’ll listen to it on infinite repeat with the audio.]
[– It’s just doing a good deed for Leah ㅋㅋ]
[– Did you plan this from the beginning…?]
[– As expected, a super genius.]

“After examining a few more details, we finished watching the music video together.”

“Now, if you watch it again, you’ll see a lot of parts that you didn’t see at first.”

[– I’ll put all of Leah’s explanations in the comment timeline.]
[– Loyal subject ㄷㄷ]

“And, this time too, I’m going to sing a song that I don’t know who made.”

[– Oh, you’re releasing it right away today?]
[– A surprise announcement~]
[– New song live!!]
[– Why is the original composer always missing?]

“There’s no need to think it’s strange.”

“It’s more natural not to know the original composer of a song that spreads by word of mouth.”

“This song was also sung by ordinary villagers.”

[– If you say it like that, it doesn’t seem strange… You think!?]
[– After soldiers, it’s villagers now? ㅎㅎ]
[– Let’s see how far you go..^^]
[– It doesn’t matter because Leah is going to do a live.]
[– Right, Leah’s song bank is so precious.]
[– The first karaoke, and 20 years since then…! The pain that our song dogs had to endure…!!]
[– Can song dogs not count?]

“It’s not a song that’s sung grandly, so there’s no accompaniment.”

“The title is ‘Heavenly Soup’.”

[Leah]:”Flour and water, that’s all we need.”
[Leah]:”Mix it well, make it thick.”
[Leah]:”Even if it’s empty, let’s have a bite.”

[– Oh, the atmosphere is completely different?]
[– It’s a festival~]
[– (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ ♪ (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ ♪ (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ ♪]
[– Leah also suits cheerful songs?]
[– Her voice is so clear that it feels a bit like a musical? ㅋㅋ]

“The original song I heard had a rough voice and a somewhat crude singing style.”

“My voice has the advantage of being able to give a mysterious feeling, but it can sound lonely if it’s done wrong, so I paid more attention to conveying the atmosphere.”

“Instead of pulling it softly, I sang it powerfully, emphasizing the beat.”

“And I adjusted my vocalization to give a high and bright, resounding feeling.”

[Leah]: “Add a pinch of salt, stir it around,”
[Leah]:”Add a little oil, that’s enough.”
[Leah]:”Gather together, clap your hands, and sing!”

[– Is it like a folk song?]
[– Traditional folk song?]
[– It’s like a tavern superstar female bard song.]
[– I can see it, I can see it… A scene of people clinking beer mugs around a large pot.]
[– You said there’s no accompaniment, right? I definitely heard the sound of a lute just now.]
[– It’s so good that it causes hallucinations ㄷㄷ]
[– Shake it~]
[– (〜￣▽￣)〜]

[Leah]:”Add some dirt, add some tree bark,”
[Leah]: “Even if it’s not enough, let’s share it together.”
[Leah]:”Gather around, sing aloud, and laugh together!”

[– ?]
[– What suspicious powder is being added?]
[– Was it witch’s soup?]
[– I can see it, I can see it… A witch with a hat pulled down low, boiling frogs…]
[– That’s not it, there’s no gloomy feeling at all ㅋㅋ]
[– Why is this song so addictive? ㅋㅋㅋ]

“The flowing voice was solid and clear.”

“The lyrics were cheerful, and the melody had a simple structure that was easy to sing along to.”

“But it wasn’t the end.”

“I wanted to add something more between the cheerful melodies.”

“When I sang this song before, it sounded very sad, unlike the original.”

“But now, I could add a thin layer of sadness to the cheerfulness that flowed throughout the song.”

“Because I learned what an open emotion is.”

[Leah]: “Even with worn-out leather, even with dried grass,”
[Leah]:”Gather around, gather around, let’s share it together.”

[– As I keep listening to this, something..]
[– Why does it feel a little sad…]
[– Is it because Leah’s voice is special? It’s kind of sad ㅜㅜ]
[– It’s just cheerful ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[– Dance~]
[– (〜￣▽￣)〜]

[Leah]:”Heavenly soup, heavenly soup,”
[Leah]:”Even if it’s tasteless, it’s okay.”
[Leah]:”Let’s eat together and endure another day.”

[– ?]
[– What did she put in the soup?]
[– Leather… soup…]
[– If it’s meat soup, it’s a good source of protein.]
[– Guwaaaaak.]
[– I was just riding the rhythm and listening, but this twist?]
[– Leah’s sensibility is a bit unique ㅋㅋ]
[– She has a bit of a dark side when she writes stories.]
[– So, the feeling of slight sadness was intentional?]
[– How good is her expressiveness ㄷ]

“As you may have noticed, none of the ingredients added before were proper.”

“Because things like dirt and tree bark were added.”

[– Ugh…]
[– It’s just muddy water…]
[– Leah, it’s dinner time now.]
[– Why would you put dirt in and boil it?]

“I think it was to supplement the insufficient nutrition with only leather.”

“Adding dirt makes the soup thicker, so it will help fill the stomach.”

“And there might be leftover grain residue in the dirt.”

[– Why do you know so well? ㄷㄷ]
[– Info) Eating dirt during famine is common regardless of region.]
[– Was Leah really a professor?]
[– It is said that they actually boiled and ate leather belts and bags during World War II ㄷㄷ]
[– You’re really researching hard…]
[– It’s not easy to create settings ㅋㅋ]

“I was also very surprised when I first heard this song.”

“Because I found out for the first time that people who have nothing to eat go to such lengths.”

[– Have you ever eaten heavenly soup, Leah?]

“No. I’m a hero, so I’ve never been short of food to that extent.”

“As long as the minimum food was guaranteed, I had to do my best for the people who were driven to such extreme situations.”

“Of course, when I was away from the battlefield, working separately or on a mission.”

“There were moments when I had to find food myself…”

“I shouldn’t tell the story about eating cat-like magical beast meat to Pias, other than Sara, right?”
