I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 29

After briefly chatting with the viewers.

I turned off my stream and moved to prepare for the main content.

Though “moving” was just a simple process of placing my avatar in another stream.

If you’re wondering why I suddenly placed my avatar in another stream.

It’s only natural to explain!

Today is the day of our first collaboration stream after debut as Blue LUV.

“One, two, three.”

“Hello! We are Blue LUV!”

Five avatars gathered in one place, and at Unnie’s—no, Erin’s—signal, they all spoke in unison, greeting everyone enthusiastically.

• Waaaaaah
• Zzzzzzzzz
• First collab!!!!!!
• Blue LUV, I’m hereeeeee

It seems all the viewers are excited to celebrate this monumental first collab.

The intense reactions in the chat make me feel proud too.

Hehe, this is the power of our Blue LUV fans!

“Alright, as mentioned earlier, today we’ll be doing a special collaboration stream to celebrate Blue LUV’s debut! We’ll be doing ‘Tell Us About Blue LUV!'”

Following Erin’s smooth hosting, we all nodded in agreement.

Though, if my avatar seemed to be the only one swaying, it might just be your imagination.

I guess I was so excited that I couldn’t keep still.

“Pfft, why is Lulu swaying like that?”

“Huh? Me, me…?!”

Realizing it, I tried to calm myself down.

But just as I was about to stop, Yukiko chimed in.

Since I was sandwiched between Luc unnie—Lucretia—and Yukiko, my movements must have stood out more.

“Yeah, your body was just swaying like this, right? Luc-chan saw it too, right?”

“Of course I saw it.”

“Uuu…”

• It was like one of those wobbly inflatable tube men on the street lol
• Lmao

Not only Lucresia, but even the viewers started chiming in.

There was no way out of this.

“I, I guess I was just happy to be with everyone…”

So, I ended up honestly confessing the reason.

What else could I do?

Even though we’ve met offline quite a bit, this was the first time we gathered together with our avatars on stream.

It might not show on the avatar, but I answered while fidgeting nervously.

Then, Yukiko’s expression turned to shock as she said something incomprehensible.

“Gasp! It’s starting again. Lulu-chan’s flirting!”

“F-flirting?!”

Flirting? What are you talking about?

Lucresia said something like this to me before too.

When did I ever flirt?

I looked at Yukiko with a gaze full of injustice.

Perhaps sensing the meaning behind my gaze.

Yukiko’s avatar smiled slightly and then suddenly grew in size.

As if shouting, ‘I have something to say!’

“Guys, guys, you know what? Lulu-chan says stuff like this to us all the time when we’re together. And then she says she’s never flirted with us. Does that make sense?”

• Gasp
• Lulu’s a flirt master lol
• Lulu-chan’s a flirt pro
• She’s playing the field with her own members lol

As if the truly wronged person was someone else.

Yukiko revealed my behavior from offline.

The unexpected damage made my head spin.

To make matters worse, the viewers started scolding me, saying, ‘This is a bit…’

What? How is this my fault?

I’ve never flirted, seriously!

“N-no, I’ve never done that. I just said I like the members because I like them…”

After explaining, I ended with a whimper, expressing my frustration.

Then, all the members’ eyes turned to me.

“Wow, look at this! Did you all see that? How is this not flirting?”

“Honestly, this is Lulu’s fault. If you’re going to act cute, don’t complain about being misunderstood.”

“Lulu, you sent me a message saying you loved me the other day. Was that just a smokescreen?”

“You told me you loved me yesterday too…”

The attacks came one after another, as if they’d been waiting for this moment.

• Lulu-chan, I didn’t expect this from you…
• This is totally a flirting masterclass.
• How many people has she charmed?
• At this rate, she’ll even charm the CEO lol

And on top of that, the viewers joined in the attack.

Wait, hold on!

I can let the other stuff slide, but I have to refute what Erin said!

I swear I never said anything like that to Erin yesterday!

“Wait a minute, Erin unnie! What if you’re lying on stream?”

“Huh? Lying?”

Despite my sharp retort, Erin tilted her head with a calm expression.

No matter how much of a Blue LUV fan I am, I won’t forgive you even if you look cute!

I’m really angry right now!

“You just said I told you I loved you!”

“Well, you really did say that! Remember yesterday when we all had chicken and beer, and I was taking the drunk Lulu-chan home?”

“…Huh?”

Wait, hold on.

I said that while drunk yesterday?

This is completely unexpected.

“You hugged me and said, ‘Erin unnie, I love you~. I love all of Blue LUV~.'”

“R-really…?!”

“The Goddess doesn’t lie about such things.”

Gasp!

Using RP to bluff like this.

• If the Goddess says it, it’s true lol
• Black history preserved lol
• Lulu-chan, were we just a fling…?
• It really feels like the debut stream was genuine now lol

No, no!

I mean, of course I love Blue LUV, but!

I’m not the type to shamelessly hug someone and confess my love while being all cutesy!

There must be some mistake here!

“Alright, since everyone now knows how much of a lovebug Lulu is, shall we move on to the main content?”

Just as I was about to try explaining again, Yukiko smoothly wrapped things up.

Though for me, it felt like I lost my chance to explain.

“I, I haven’t even explained yet…?!”

“Yeah, we’re not accepting that. Go back. Lulu-chan is officially a lovebug now.”

“Sniff…”

I tried to beg for one more chance, but it was a futile resistance.

And just like that, I was branded as the girl who’s always cutesy and shouting ‘I love you!’ to the members.

Of course, it’s true that I’ve embraced that concept.

And it’s also true that I genuinely love the members more than anything in the world.

But having my black history from offline exposed like this makes me feel embarrassed and wronged.

What is this feeling?

While I was lost in confusion, the Q&A segment began.

The first person to be asked a question was none other than Riris.

“Then, the first question! Bam!”

Yukiko, who had taken on the role of host, picked the first question and even added sound effects to hype things up.

“If there’s a trait you’d like to take from another member, what would it be?”

“Ooh, good question.”

“I’m curious about this too.”

A safe yet great opportunity to highlight another member’s charm.

I silently praised the person who sent the question and waited for Riris’s answer.

Her deliberation didn’t take long.

“Personally, I’m envious of Erin’s foreign language skills. It would be so convenient when traveling abroad.”

Ah, that’s right.

Now that I think about it, Riris has mentioned that before.

I vaguely remember clipping a few moments related to that.

“True. I’m a bit envious of that too.”

“Right, right. I saw Erin talking in English the other day, and it was really cool.”

“Hehe, thanks for the compliment.”

• Seriously, people who are good at foreign languages are enviable.
• When Erin speaks English, she sounds like a native.
• The Goddess is good at English too lol
• Honestly, does the Goddess even need to learn foreign languages…?
• I want to see her speak English.

While the members were chatting among themselves.

A particular chat caught my eye as I focused on the chat window.

Now that I think about it, some viewers might not have seen Erin speaking English.

Maybe it’s a good idea to give them a little taste.

“Erin unnie, the viewers want to see you speak English.”

“Ah, really? It’s not hard.”

When I relayed the viewers’ request, Erin smiled beautifully and cleared her throat with a ‘ahem.’

Then, in a slightly lower tone than usual, she fluently spoke in English.

【Please continue to love Blue LUV. If you don’t, I might have to punish you in the name of the Goddess?】

Despite the mature voice, the line was quite cute.

On the other hand, the members who didn’t understand English well just blinked in confusion.

“Ah, um… She said to please love Blue LUV a lot. If you don’t, she might punish you in the name of the Goddess…”

So, I translated for Erin…

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

“Lulu-chan, what’s this?”

• ?
• Did you understand?
• What’s this? lol

Both the members and the viewers started spamming question marks.

What? Did I do something weird just now?

Even Erin was looking at me with a surprised expression.

“Lulu-chan, you can speak English?”

“Uh, yeah… I can speak a bit of English, Japanese, and Indonesian.”

“Whaaat?! You hid such an amazing skill from us?!”

“Huh?”

Ah, now that I think about it, I never told the members that I could speak foreign languages.

It’s not that I hid it, but more that they never asked, so I didn’t bring it up.

• We didn’t know either…
• She didn’t mention it during the debut stream.
• I thought Lulu-chan was just a noob…
• So she’s fluent in four languages? Damn.
• The bar for VTubers is so high these days.

Following Yukiko, the viewers also started expressing their shock.

Well, at least I revealed it now, right?

It’s not like hiding the fact that I can speak foreign languages is a big deal…

• Haebom: Lulu…?
• Haebom: What is this…?
• Haebom: You should’ve at least told me…

“B-boss…?!”

…Yeah, no.

Looks like I’m going to get scolded by the boss for the second time today.
