TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 35
“Anyway, shall we start recording?”
“Hahaha! We’re going to work hard today, so get ready!”
After that, the composer directed much more carefully than last time and pushed me really hard.
“Ah!”
Um, my voice seems to be coming out fine.
I thought I might have lost my voice since it took longer than I expected before coming here, but my vocal cords were still fine.
“Ms. Yeon-woo, you have the strongest voice of anyone I’ve seen so far.”
“Really?”
“Yes, even people with better vocalization than you get tired if pushed like this.”
As expected, the TS buff…! I praised the generous buff that provided convenience in many ways again today.
“Oh, Mr. Composer.”
Come to think of it, I was going to ask this, right? Almost forgot.
“Yes?”
“Are you working on the new song we promised?”
I’m not particularly urging him. There’s still time until the regular first album.
I’m just asking purely out of curiosity. I’m satisfied just hearing the genre he has in mind.
“Oh, that?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve written the melody.”
“Really?”
Already?
“Yes, would you like to hear it?”
“Sure.”
Thus, I listened to the new song written by the composer.
Um….
“This is definitely our song, right?”
“Yes. Of course.”
“Really?”
“Uh? Did I check the wrong file?”
The composer checked the file at my question and confidently said,
“Yes. This is a Solana song.”
“Is that so?”
If he said this much, it must be real….
“…Is there something wrong with it?”
“No, that’s not it….”
This was supposed to be another group’s song…. Even a mega hit song….
Somehow… it feels like I’m committing a theft? Is this the dilemma that regressors experience…!
I decided to clear my complicated thoughts and think simply.
Yeah, the future I know has already disappeared, right?
If our group wins an award on a music show, will we feel sorry for taking the one we received before regression?
No. That’s something we earned with hard work, so it doesn’t count.
While thinking like this, I had a realization.
…Thinking back, was I careful in my actions because I was worried that the future I know would change drastically?
I lived more prudently compared to other regressors found in various novels.
The biggest change I made was joining Solana.
…There are too many thoughts.
I felt that this was a heavy topic to conclude on right here, so I promised to return to it later and tucked it away in a corner of my mind.
“The song was just so good.”
“Ah! Right?! I feel like I did really well, too?!”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to the recording for the regular first album.”
“But something came to mind after hearing Ms. Yeon-woo’s words?!”
The composer looked very excited and had a cheerful expression.
“What is it?”
“How about assuming that this song will create a trend for city pop and redoing your song as a city pop track?!”
It seems my earlier comment left quite an impression on him….
But,
“Ah, that’s a bit.”
I’m sorry for pouring cold water on his enthusiasm, but I have to say what I need to say.
“Why?”
“I’m not saying to make another song; I’m just saying the demo song we just heard is too good to waste.”
Aside from being stuck in a dilemma earlier, I won’t give it back since I’ve heard it and consider it mine.
Isn’t it the worst thing to give it away and then take it back?
“…Okay.”
Fortunately, the composer seemed to agree with me.
***
A few days later.
Finally, today is the release day of [Beast Hunter].
In other words, it means it’s collaboration day.
“Hello.”
– You made it?
– Roha
– You slowpoke, hurry up!
Deleted Message.
– Is it real that you’re coming 10 minutes before the collab? Hahahaha
“I’m also happy to see you.”
Everyone welcomed me so enthusiastically that I felt uneasy.
– Ah, I really want to slap you!
– Hahaha, seriously!
– Aoo!!!
“Shall we turn on the game and customize our characters?”
– Look at this idiot trying to change the topic again! Hahaha
Deleted Message.
– Yup~ I’ve been tricked so many times, I won’t fall for it this time!
– Hahaha, so natural!
Ignoring the continuously welcoming chat window, I started the game.
– Right… I’m used to being ignored, so…
– Just bear with the chat, huh? Hahaha
– An ordinary Roje.
Staring at the loading screen, I voiced the worry I had been contemplating since earlier.
“Um… what weapon should I use?”
[Beast Hunter] has 14 weapons, including greatswords, swords, and dual swords, and I’m pondering which to try.
Since my main weapons before regression were a sword and axe, I don’t want to go with that.
If I’m going to play, I want to try something different.
– Greatsword, let’s go!
– I’ll go with the sword!
– How about a spear?
Hmm… that’s ambiguous….
– How about a hammer?
Huh?
“The hammer sounds good. I’ll choose that.”
The heaviness of the hammer gives a satisfying impact.
And the weapons I used before regression focused on slashing, so a striking weapon should feel fresh, right?
As I settled on the weapon, the loading finished, and the game intro cutscene started.
[Hey! Are you a newbie?!]
A. Yeah. I’m a newbie! Please take care of me!
B. Can’t you tell by looking?!
“I’m going to choose A since it’s a bit awkward for a newbie to act cocky.”
– Ah.
– No fun.
– Ugh.
– Can’t allow that.
“If I chose B, it wouldn’t make a difference, right?”
I’ve already tried that before regression.
I don’t exactly remember the line.
Did I just brush off the sassy remark as, “This newcomer is quite bold!”?
But despite my persuasion, the viewers were still shouting for B.
– Still, B, let’s go!
– Let’s go with B!
– If you’re a streamer, you have to go with B!
“Yeah, whatever.”
It’s really nothing significant, so I didn’t do it.
[What…? Ahahaha! This! We have a very cheeky newbie here?! I’m excited?!]
“See, I told you it wouldn’t be anything significant.”
– Sigh…
– Are you interpreting it like that…?
– Aren’t they too positive?
[By the way, newbie! What’s your name?!]
“I guess we’re seeing the character creation now.”
As I finished my words, the character creation screen popped up.
“Customization….”
It’s a hassle….
I think I’ll just go with random.
Having decided, I set the character’s gender to female and randomized it.
After all, female characters are the standard, right?
– The appearance is legendary! Hahaha
– Do some customization! Hahahaha
– No way, the appearance! Hahaha
Randomization can be oddly convenient, but the characters turned out a bit too unattractive.
However, since I won’t be seeing their faces much due to the game’s nature and the other members likely ended up looking good, making an ugly character could be a good strategy.
After finishing customization and completing the tutorial, my phone rang.
Ding ding!
Oh, is it collaboration time?
Checking the time, it was exactly 7 o’clock.
Ding!
“Hello.”
I answered the call.
[Roje! We’re in big trouble!]
“What?”
– This girl says we’re in trouble, so show some worry! Hahaha
Deleted Message.
– Really looks like a pain, huh? Hahaha
– Ms. Han-byul will get hurt! Hahaha
[Si-ru bought another game!]
“Excuse me?”
[He didn’t buy the latest [Beast Hunter] but got the previous version instead?!]
“What do you mean?”
[Just as it sounds!]
“Uh….”
Didn’t I say it was a new game?
Worried I might have made a mistake, I checked the message I had sent out.
Upon checking, I definitely wrote that it was the game coming out on today’s date.
– Crazyyyyy Hahahahahahaha
Deleted Message.
– Total trash, huh? Hahahahaha
Deleted Message.
– What the heck, Hahahahahahah
– How could you confuse that? Hahahahaha
The chat window, while expressing themselves dramatically, shared similar thoughts to mine.
“Shall we head to the group chat for now?”
[Okay! Got it!]
Checking the group chat, I found Ye-rin, Yubin, and Yuna, all members of the collaboration, gathered together.
Ding!
[I’m sorry….]
“Mr. Si-ru.”
[Hik! Roje…! I’m sorry…!]
… I haven’t even said anything yet.
– Seriously Hahaha
– What did he do to end up like that? Hahaha
– After meeting in real life, everyone’s probably going to be scared of Roje for a while. Hahaha
– I’m not paying attention to this VTuber red pill thing, but I’m really curious about this girl.
Deleted Message.
[Um…! I’m really sorry…!]
“No, I get that you’re sorry. How long until it’s ready?”
[I just downloaded it….]
“So how long?”
[…20 minutes.]
What? That doesn’t take as long as I thought.
“Then I’ll grab a quick bite and use the bathroom for 20 minutes. You can keep the sound running, right?”
[What?!]
[Roje?]
[What do you mean by that?! Roze-roze!]
– Hey, are you seriously saying you’re going to leave during the broadcast?
Deleted Message.
– I thought I heard something strange while listening to the radio.
Deleted Message.
– You’re saying it so nonchalant, Hahaha
“But if Mr. Si-ru says, ‘Don’t go. Oppa,’ then I’ll sit still.”
– Was that just a buildup too? Hahaha
– This girl is truly 30% buildup and 40% empty words, Hahahaha
Deleted Message.
– Hahahahahaha
[What?!]
[Eek! How cute!]
[That was the main point, right?]
I replied, as if it was obvious, to Ye-rin’s question.
“Why are you asking if you know?”
[But why ‘oppa’ and not ‘unnie’?]
“I thought it’d make you feel more embarrassed. Also, our broadcast is male-dominated, right?”
[I should be careful not to mess up in front of Roje….]
“Can you hear me?”
[That was meant to be heard.]
“Ah!”
Well, that’s secondary.
“So, are you going to do it?”
[No…! I…! Uh…!]
“Hurry up. Depending on your answer, my bladder status will change.”
[Hey! Roje! What are you saying!]
– Hahahahahaha
– I was wondering what I heard, Hahaha
– Bladder jokes are ridiculous Hahahahaha
Deleted Message.
[Um…! I’ll do it….]
“You made a wise decision.”
[Eek! I turned on the recording!]
[Nooo! Why are you turning on the recording!!]
“Stop wasting time and do it quickly.”
[…Alright.]
– Hahahahahaha
– So cold, Hahaha
– She really just wants to play the game O_O
[Oh, Oppa! Don’t go…!]
[Oh my! Oh my! So cute!]
[Is she really doing this….]
– So cute, Hahaha
– Really should swap the maknae.
– Wasn’t Si-ru the maknae of Solana?
“You’re doing great.”
But,
“What I asked for was, ‘Don’t go. Oppa.’ not ‘Oppa. Don’t go.'”
[What?!]
[Ahh! Shall I do it one more time? Si-ru?]
[I must truly not mess up….]
– Hahahahahaha
– One person is really good at pulling pranks, Hahaha
– Wow, I thought it was a joke, but she really says it, Hahaha
[It’s annoying!]
“I will say it, I will.”
[…I will do it.]
After saying that, a deep breath could be heard.
[Don’t go! Oh, Oppa…!]
“Thank you for that. Now, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
[Ahhh!]
From the headset on my desk, Yuna’s scream echoed.
Sounds nice….
I suddenly felt that her voice was really nice.
