[Domestic VTuber Gallery]

• Lulu-chan is crying LOLOLOL
• Hey~ The streamer is crying~!
• So cute LOLOLOL
• How does her scream sound like “NYAAAAH” LOL
• The karma stack exploded!

While watching Lulu and Erin’s collab stream, the moment Lulu burst into tears the gallery exploded with an overwhelming number of posts.

While some felt sorry for Lulu who naturally triggers protective instincts, most viewers, being the mischievous bunch they are, were thrilled by the scene.

Title: Meanwhile, Lulu-chan is surprisingly good at the game LOLOLOL

(Clip of Lulu playing the game)

She’s trembling like crazy but still progressing through the game at lightning speed LOLOLOL

Most cowardly streamers can’t even handle simple horror games properly, but she’s grabbing all the clues and batteries like she’s memorized the map LOLOLOL

──────────────────────────────

• I was shocked when she recorded the corpse with the camcorder while hearing the pursuer’s footsteps LOL
  • For real, that was insane.
    • Wait, why was she recording with the camcorder?
      • It’s explained later—you need to record certain things to fully understand the story.
• At this point, isn’t her being scared just an act?
  • You think she’s faking those pitiful sobs? LOL
    • Honestly, her acting skills are god-tier.
      • This is what happens when a pro gamer and a scaredy-cat coexist LOL
• If this wasn’t a brand-new game, people would’ve accused her of studying beforehand.
  • It’s hilarious because I’ve already seen idiots in the chat claiming she studied the game.
    • The game just came out, how could she have studied it? LOLOLOL
      • There are so many idiots, it’s insane LOLOLOL

Even in the midst of all this, praise for Lulu’s gaming skills continued unabated.

Despite it being obvious that she was scared, her confident and seamless gameplay created a fascinating gap moe.

Title: I fell for Lulu-chan all over again today

Author: Axolotl Enthusiast Club

(Clip of Lulu comforting Erin)

Honestly, it was clear she was scared from the start, but when she said she wasn’t scared at all, I thought she was just trying to act tough LOL

But that wasn’t it.

She kept asking Erin if she was okay, glancing at Erin to make sure she was calm before continuing.

Since Erin is so weak with horror games, Lulu probably thought she couldn’t afford to get scared herself.

She’s truly a mom… Lulu-mom…

─────────────────────────────────

• I felt the same way. Since she invited Erin, who’s weak with horror games, she probably felt a sense of responsibility.
  • She’s so diligent…
    • What’s left of Lulu-chan if you take away her diligence?
      • ? Then nothing’s left?
        • No, there’s a lot left.
• How is the youngest the mom? LOLOLOL
  • It shouldn’t fit, but it does for Lulu-chan.
    • For real LOL
      • Honestly, sometimes she seems more like the eldest unnie than Erin LOL
        • The way she talks is so mature.
          • But she’s still a clumsy, silly Axolotl.
• Wow, seeing it like this… Lulu-chan really pushed herself.
  • If she were alone, she probably would’ve thrown her keyboard long ago LOLOLOL
    • That just shows how much she cares for the members~
      • Meanwhile, the former leader tried to gamble with the money the youngest earned…
        • If the Black Moon unit comes for you tonight, just accept it.

Among fans, Lulu is jokingly called “Lulu-mom” because she often shows how much she looks out for the other members.

Today, even during her stream with Erin, the eldest unnie, she displayed this side of herself, leaving viewers utterly charmed.

Although the stream ended a bit abruptly due to an unexpected incident, the first horror game collab was more successful than anyone imagined.

Viewers were satisfied and waited for Lulu’s tears to subside.

＊＊＊＊＊

Thanks to Jia unnie, who comforted me as I cried endlessly, I was able to stop my tears and resume the stream.

Unnie suggested I take a longer break, but I couldn’t do that.

“Ugh, I’m sorry, everyone. And sorry, Erin unnie.”

Overcome with belated embarrassment, I tucked my hands between my legs, twisted my body, and mumbled an apology.

Sniff. I’m so embarrassed.

I’m not a child, yet I cried while playing a horror game.

This will probably go down as the worst moment of my life.

“It’s okay. The fans will understand, right?”

• For real LOL
• Her crying was so cute LOL
• I actually liked it.
• In our industry, we call that a reward.

Sigh, you weirdos.

You call yourselves fans, yet you enjoy seeing your favorite VTuber cry?

What’s wrong with your mental state?

If it were any other day, I would’ve snapped back, but today, since it was partly my fault, I kept my mouth shut.

After all, I couldn’t even get through a fifth of the horror game I had so ambitiously prepared.

[‘PersonWhoLikesWindows’ has thrown a snack donation of 10,000 won!]

• Lulu-chan, have a Frappuccino and cheer up!

“Wow, thank you for the 10,000 won donation.”

Sniff. “Th-thank you… Hehe, I’ll have one with Erin unnie tomorrow morning.”

While still sniffling from the tears, I couldn’t help but smile at the sudden donation.

I know laughing after crying is supposed to bring bad luck, but I can’t help it.

It’s not about the amount.

Just hearing the word “Frappuccino” made my face muscles relax.

Especially the rich matcha flavor of the Matcha Frappuccino I’ve recently become obsessed with.

Yeah, yeah.

Tomorrow, I’ll take Jia unnie out and treat her.

I know her personality—she’ll try to pay, but if I say it’s from the viewers’ snack money, she won’t refuse.

• The way she smiled the moment Frappuccino was mentioned is so cute LOL
• Is Frappuccino really that good? LOL
• At this point, they should give Lulu-chan a sponsorship deal LOL

A sponsorship? I’d love that.

Honestly, they don’t even need to pay me.

Just let me have one free Frappuccino every day, and I’ll promote it with all my heart.

While lost in silly thoughts, I subtly checked Jia unnie’s expression.

I felt bad because the content I had prepared ended so abruptly; I wondered how we’d spend the remaining time.

“By the way, since the game ended earlier than expected, should we do some chit-chat?”

“Chit-chat?”

I think unnie saw through my thoughts.

When our eyes met for a moment, she smiled and casually brought it up.

“Yeah, the viewers asked for it after the game ended. Plus, when I did a collab with Lucretia before, we did a Q&A. I thought it’d be nice if we did something like that too.”

• Oh
• Sounds good
• We’ve squeezed all the juice out of the horror game, so let’s do some chatting~
• Excited

The viewers cheered and enthusiastically agreed to unnie’s suggestion.

Naturally, there’s a lot of curiosity about the chemistry between members who’ve never collabed before.

It was the same when I did a collab with Ra-hee unnie.

Today, it seems like everyone has a lot they want to talk about with us.

Or maybe, because I burst into tears, they thought it’d be too much to do any other content, and they’re being considerate.

Either way, I’m grateful, so I nodded and displayed two avatars on my stream’s default background.

Taking that as a signal to start, donations with questions immediately began pouring in.

[‘DingDingDing’ has thrown a snack donation of 9,000 won!]

• Lulu-chan, you said Erin is your bias among the members. Did she know that?

“Of course I know. I was really surprised when I first heard it.”

“Why’s that?”

At the unexpected reaction, Jia unnie smiled awkwardly and spoke.

“Well, Lulu-chan, you’re really close with the other members but you don’t really hang out with me much. Even during meetings, you’re always sitting on Lucretia’s lap.”

“Th-that’s because Lucretia unnie told me to sit there…”

“But lately, you’ve been sitting there without her even saying anything, haven’t you?”

“…Huh?”

Oh, oh? Is that so?

Now that I think about it, that does seem to be the case…

• She’s gotten used to it LOL
• Is she really a cat? LOL
• No wonder Lucretia dotes on her.
• Imagining her walking over and sitting on Lucretia’s lap is so cute.

“N-no…! I don’t do that all the time!”

What am I, a child?!

W-well, it’s true that Ra-hee unnie is really tall, so sitting on her lap feels comforting and warm…

But that doesn’t mean I’ve gotten used to it!

Otherwise, I’d really be like a cat!

I’m not a cat, I’m an Axolotl!

Ah, no, I’m a human!

“A-and it’s not that I was uncomfortable around you, unnie. It’s just that…”

“Is there a reason?”

“Yes.”

It’s a bit embarrassing to say this in front of the person involved, but I didn’t want unnie to misunderstand, so I spoke in a small, hesitant voice.

“I-it’s because you’re so pretty… I get nervous…”

“…Huh?”

“I-I told you, unnie. You’re my bias. So when I’m in front of you, I get so nervous that I can’t even speak properly…”

Fidgeting with my hands, I honestly confessed my feelings; ever since I first saw Jia unnie as Erin during the interview, my heart would race every time I saw her.

It was like the feeling of a fan meeting their idol.

Of course, I’ve felt that way about the other members too, but maybe because of my age, or because I admired her not just as a fan but as a person, my face would turn red, and I wouldn’t know what to do whenever I saw her.

That’s why I kept a bit of distance.

It’s not that I disliked her at all.

“S-so please don’t misunderstand. I really, really like you, unnie.”

“…….”

Waving my hands quickly, as if a breeze had just passed by, I took the opportunity to hurriedly explain.

Then, unnie stared at me silently for a while before—

Squeeze—

Suddenly wrapping her arm around my head, she pulled me into a hug and started shaking me violently, as if she didn’t know what to do.

“Ugh, our youngest! What am I going to do with you being this cute? I can’t let anyone else take you away…!”

“U-unnie…?! I-I can’t breathe…!”

Thankfully, she wasn’t as relentless as Ra-hee unnie, but having my face buried in her chest still made it hard to breathe.

I tapped out like a mixed martial arts fighter, but unnie showed no signs of letting me go.

• LOLOLOLOLOL
• Erin couldn’t hold back in the end wwwwwwwww
• Truly Blue LUV’s best flirting master.
• Erin is slowly turning into Lucretia LOL
• With a little sister like that, no way I’d let anyone else have her.
• If you want to take Lulu-chan, you’ll have to get past four sisters-in-law.

E-everyone, stop laughing!

Someone, help me!

Get me out of here!

Thankfully, unnie wasn’t as far gone as Ra-hee unnie, so she soon returned to normal, and we continued chatting.

＊＊＊＊＊

After successfully finishing the collab, we started preparing to go to bed.

Thankfully, I had bought a guest futon in advance, so there was no issue with sleeping arrangements.

Originally, I planned to let unnie sleep on the bed while I slept outside, but of course, she wouldn’t allow that, so we ended up sleeping separately in the bedroom and the living room.

Even if we wanted to sleep in the same room, there wasn’t enough space to lay out a futon on the floor.

“Alright, Da-jeong, sleep well. See you in the morning.”

“Y-yes…”

After finishing her shower and shaking her slightly damp hair, Jia unnie bid me goodnight and left the room.

Left alone in the darkened room, I…

“…Ugh.”

Tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

The scenes from the horror game earlier wouldn’t leave my mind.

No matter if I looked at my phone, listened to music, or even watched my favorite Blue LUV videos, those haunting images kept flashing in my head, and I let out a pained groan for a while.

Flutter—

Eventually, overwhelmed by the growing fear of the unknown, I couldn’t take it anymore and threw off the covers, getting up.

Carefully, I opened the door and peeked my head out.

“U-unnie… Are you asleep…?”

“Hmm? Not yet. What’s wrong?”

Thankfully, unnie was still on her phone, so she answered kindly even to my small voice.

At that moment, I hesitated, unsure whether to say it or not.

I’m not a five-year-old child.

Does it even make sense to make such a request?

Would unnie laugh at me?

B-but I’m so scared.

So just for today, just one day.

I’ll shamelessly ask.

After a fierce internal battle between my two selves, fear overpowered my pride, and my lips moved on their own.

“U-unnie, I’m sorry, but… could I sleep with you just for tonight…?”

Upon hearing this, unnie’s eyes widened so much that I could see it even in the dark.
