VTuber RP Is Not a Concept - Chapter 92

I felt good when I heard the positive outlook from the editors yesterday. But worry soon followed. Because I realized a problem I hadn’t properly addressed until now.

With only a month left before the broadcast, this issue would become a persistent obstacle if not resolved.

It was the most pressing task. So, after pondering until I fell asleep, I finally found the answer.

The next day.

I wanted to hurry and start the stream to share the process and results of my contemplation. I looked forward to the start time even more than usual.

《 Esumi Ria 》
《 My heart was very heavy because of my worries… 》
《 7991 viewers 》

After starting the stream, greeting the Pia, and engaging in light conversation, the number of viewers quickly surpassed 10,000. Reactions to the stream title also started to appear one by one.

– Leah, what’s wrong!
– Why is your heart heavy ㅜㅜ
– Pia will help you with your worries…
– I’m so pissed; it must be because of that.
– Cheer up~~~💪😊

“Pia, please check carefully. It means my heart was heavy, not that it is now. Past tense.”

– So, are you completely okay now?
– So, what was the worry?

“About my anecdotes. Until now, I haven’t shared them chronologically because I’ve brought them up based on the topic or just spoken naturally as they came to mind.”

– Wait, this flow…
– ??
– Hey, you…

“At first, I thought it didn’t matter, but I started to worry that some Pia might get confused or have trouble following along.”

– Anecdotes << If you felt deflated after hearing this word, like.
– This is… a worry? This is… a worry? This is… a worry?
– Only I was a fool for worrying…
– Does she even know what she’s doing with this title? lol
– Her trolling skills are top-notch.
– Leah just loves stirring things up.

“I overlooked that some Pia can’t watch every broadcast. The Pia who have always been with me understand even if the timeline is mixed up, right? Because you’ve had many opportunities to grasp the continuous context. But Pia who lack information have difficulty finding the connections in the story.”

– If you haven’t watched all the live broadcasts, you’re not qualified to be called Pia.
– Then 90% of the Pia are cut;
– Is it something to brag about that you didn’t watch the broadcast? Isn’t that a natural loss?
– I think loyal subjects should be rewarded.
– Reward: Can understand Leah’s RP better
– Loss: Only sees the interesting parts lol
– I’ll take the loss.

“I recommend watching the replays for the Pia who missed the broadcasts… but it’s only a suggestion. I can’t tie you up and force you to watch.”

– Wh-what?
– Oh… Bondage play…
– Queen Leah’s return?
– Huh? Suddenly I feel like I’ve missed a few broadcasts.
– Me! Do me!
– (Tsk tsk, if you’re a man, you should think about tying Leah up and having fun, not everyone thinking about being tied up…) [Message deleted by a manager.]
– A real man says what he wants and gets executed.

Did I step on another trap? Even if this is how Pia usually are, this isn’t the time, is it?

“I’m a little disappointed. You’re making vulgar jokes even while listening to a serious concern.”

– Gulp! Sorry Leah ㅜㅜ……Did you think I’d say that?
– What part of this is a serious concern…
– I don’t even know if it’s a ‘concern’ before it’s ‘serious’.
– Be grateful there wasn’t a riot after that clickbait title, Leah.

“Well, since I brought a solution, it might not be that serious of a concern. I’ll let it slide.”

Since Pia seemed less sympathetic than I thought, I quickly moved on to the solution.

“The solution is simple. Always keep opportunities open to reduce the information gap. If there’s anything Pia don’t understand in the anecdotes, you can always ask questions. I plan to set aside a specific time each day for a Q&A session about previous stories.”

– Oh no!!!
– Daily mandatory lore time implemented.
– Now I have a concern…
– Most of the just chatting was about RP anyway.
– Forced review is different.

“Please consider the Q&A session at the beginning of the broadcast a fixed feature from now on.”

– What about the Pia who can’t join then?

“Ask a friend to write down your question and bring it up for you.”

– I’d have to reveal I watch Leah to my friend…
– Even if you have a friend who watches Leah, you wouldn’t talk about that…
– What if I don’t have any friends?

“Then ask your family or relatives…”

– ??????
– Are you serious?
– Wow, what a diabolical idea.
– Mom, go to Esumi Leah’s stream at 7:30 and ask this question for me.
– My son has finally given up on being human…
– lol

“If that’s difficult, it can’t be helped. I’m not saying I’ll only take questions during this time. If you donate during the stream, I’ll be sure to answer.”

– If you miss the Q&A time, it’s paid~
– Wow, so right now, I can satisfy my curiosity for free! I’m so excited!

“Of course, if there are a lot of questions right now, donations take priority.”

It was an open opportunity, but it was right that the more eager Pia received the benefit.

– Wow, it wasn’t even free!
– This isn’t mandatory lore time, it’s mandatory donation time…

“Now, if you have anything you want to know, please tell me.”

[All 5 heroes appeared yesterday, what’s the ranking of their combat power?]

“Actually, I first talked about this during the 100k subscriber Q&A, not yesterday, but… yes. It’s not about what’s important, you asked about combat power.”

I thought for a moment. How could I make an objective comparison?

“There’s something you need to know. Ranking combat power is very difficult. Everyone plays a different role on the battlefield, and there are advantageous or disadvantageous matchups against certain opponents. Also, strengths and weaknesses vary depending on the location, the presence of allies, restrictions, and so on.”

– Long story short, Leah.
– So, who’s the strongest?
– Can’t resist a VS battle lol

At Pia’s urging, I tried to force a ranking, even if it was somewhat inappropriate.

“Fifth is Conrad the Ironheart. He’s a knight who is both physically and mentally strong, but he’s a little lacking in completely transcending the limitations of the human species.”

– Did he get iron shards embedded all over his body?
– He was a cyborg knight.
– It’s not about the iron shards lol
– Leah is talking like an elf supremacist again lol

“Fourth is Balgrim the Thunderclap. He had a sturdy body.”

– Oh, Thunderclap.
– Was he a lightning-attribute warrior?

“No. That’s all there is to it, his sturdy body. He got that title because he ran around noisily with his small body.”

– I don’t think that’s the reason…
– That’s a real roast lol
– It’s funny how she keeps pushing the “we have a bad relationship” concept past its expiration date lol

“Third is me. I won’t bother explaining myself.”

– Lower than expected.
– Why is she not bragging about her character and putting herself in 3rd place?
– Maybe because a level 18 hero in 3rd is already overpowered?
– The creator’s last shred of conscience.

“Being blessed by the spirits means being able to easily contact and make contracts with high-ranking spirits. In addition, the attributes of the spirits you can communicate with are also criteria for evaluating your aptitude. I had no such attribute restrictions. Regardless of the region, whenever I met a new spirit, I could always talk to it and receive help. Also, spirit magic determines the attack method depending on the caster’s aptitude. In my case, through the spirit bow, which amplifies the spirit’s energy, I could shoot amazingly precise and sometimes destructive arrows.”

– Leah, breathe!
– 30 seconds ago: I won’t explain myself.
– [webSender] You must respect me…

“Ah, did I say I wouldn’t explain? I must have misspoken. I meant I would explain less.”

After a short pause, I moved on.

“Second is Felixius the Harmonious. He’s an old human, so he can’t be considered physically strong… but his divine magic, which unfolds under specific conditions, could literally reproduce miraculous phenomena.”

– The old man was that amazing.
– Survival is strength.

“First is Seraphilis the Calamity. Her large-scale magic could bring about results close to natural disasters. Also, she was feared by the Demons as a calamity.”

– She poured all the awesome attributes into this character.
– Why did she make a character like this bully her…?
– Is it Leah’s preference…?
– M-Leah?

“Wh-what are you talking about? I’m just conveying the facts as they are.”

– But didn’t you say this Q&A time was for reducing the information gap? Shouldn’t there be no new information?

“Well… everyone is curious about different things. Solve your curiosities and learn new facts in the process!”

– Question~ Do you know what you’re talking about?
– Review for those who missed class~(Moving on with the lesson).
– She just needed a fixed lore time.
– Maybe resolving the information gap wasn’t necessary.

Still, since I asked for questions about the stories I told on the stream, there would be more supplementary explanations than new information… probably.

[You said yesterday you didn’t even want to hear Noskarr’s voice. You also said you were a little shaken when you met him. Was the damage to the Elf Forest that bad?]

This kind of question. I didn’t think I could avoid it at this point.

“Noskarr is not only the enemy of the Elf Forest,”

I took a breath and spoke clearly.

“He is also the enemy of my father.”
