[It seems I won’t be able to participate in the tournament broadcast this week due to something coming up.]
Ayano Kouji Sora
[I'm also busy with practice.]
[It seems like this week will be difficult for me too.]
Kaga Mero
[I also have part-time work this week.]
Barubara Rian
[What part-time job?]
Kaga Mero

[I think I’m losing too much social interaction.]
[If I keep going like this, I might end up becoming a beast.]
Barubara Rian
[You’re already a beast.]
It had been a while since I’d had such a busy routine.
Well, I wonder if "busy" is even the right word.
Since my debut, I’ve been streaming almost every day.
At the beginning, I was limited to 2 to 4 hours per broadcast, as I was told not to interfere with my peers’ broadcast times.
But at some point, even that restriction disappeared. I guess I’ve earned some leeway by now.
So, on some days, I stream for up to 16 hours. But when that happens, Leon always scolds me, saying the viewers can’t keep up.
Instead, I’ve been splitting my streams into segments. Leon suggested I split it into Part 1 for chatting, Part 2 for Labyrinthos, and Part 3 for Ascerasal—something like that.
So, I’ve become quite famous among VTubers for streaming a lot.
However, lately, my streaming time has actually decreased. That's why "busy" feels a bit strange to say.
Still, I’ve been quite busy lately.
Normally, I stream however I want, but this week I’ve had a few guest appearances on other people's channels.
For example, I appeared on Inagika's channel with my peers to broadcast "Turtle Soup."
[So, here’s the problem... Why was a man in a scuba suit found hanging on a burnt tree, and what was the cause of his death?]
“Probably, there was a forest fire, and a helicopter brought seawater for firefighting, right? But there just so happened to be a man scuba diving at that time, and the helicopter didn’t know. So, they scooped up seawater with the man attached to it. Then, they poured water on the fire, but the man got caught on the tree and died. Right?”
[....]
Inagika looked at me like I had nailed it with a single guess.
Fortunately, Inagika had prepared about 20 questions just in case, so we managed to fill the broadcast time without any trouble.
The next day, I appeared on Inui Kirin’s channel for a talk show with the Leviathan members.
“Objectively evaluate me! The objective VTuber!”
As soon as the broadcast began, Kirin shouted that.
It was rare for Kirin to host the show this time.
I heard it was originally Rui's idea, but since Rui had a lot to do, she passed the idea to Kirin.
“The broadcast won’t end until everyone evaluates themselves objectively!”
“The rules are like this! There are 6 Leviathan members here, right? Excluding me as the host, there are 5 of you.”
“I will give you a topic, and you’ll need to submit to me, via Discord, where you think you rank among the five. For example, ‘I’m the Xth smartest among the five.’”
“Then, if everyone is objective, you’ll submit different numbers, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, right?”
“If you’re not objective, you’ll all put 1 as your rank, but of course, there’s no one like that in Leviathan, right? I’ll keep giving topics until everyone submits different numbers!”
That was the concept of the broadcast.
The most memorable part was probably the first topic.
[In here, I’m the Xth bravest person.]
'Well, I’m first, of course.'
Before I returned to Earth, I had risked my life countless times. In the battlefield, between life and death, I had cut down countless monsters.
So, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I understand bravery better than anyone else in this room.
Confidently, I wrote "1" and submitted it.
[Aurora: 1]
[Hanabane Rui: 5]
[Kaga Mero: 4]
[Ayano Kouji Sora: 3]
[Barubara Rian: 1]
“What’s this?”
“Oh, Miss, you're asking pretty harshly.”
Barubara shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m Barubara Rian, the world’s number one man. The very embodiment of what it means to be manly.”
“So?”
“From the moment I was born, I learned bravery before my mother tongue. I, Barubara, don’t know fear.”
“How about you prove that claim through a duel? Draw your sword.”
But the duel didn’t happen. Too bad.
Anyway, Barubara is a VTuber with a tough guy concept, so it's not unusual for him and me to clash in rankings like this.
When Barubara and I don’t clash, it’s usually with Sora or Rui. It took quite a bit of time, but after about two hours of broadcasting, we started to get a feel for what kind of numbers everyone would submit. It felt more like a game of reading each other's cues than a genuine test of objectivity.
So, the broadcast ended in a decent amount of time—not too short, not too long. It was quite fun.
I went through a few more schedules, and...
“Today, only Laura has shown up. Well, everyone must be busy, right?”
I’m still continuing my dance lessons.
By the way, lately, I’ve been the only one showing up for class. Everyone's gotten busier.
Sora seems to be working on some kind of project and asked me if I would participate.
I don’t know the exact details, but I agreed to join. It was a bit surprising that Sora was running a project.
Also, Sora seems to be practicing a lot with Choi Gaho and the Leviathan members.
-“Sora, we’ll have you practice for the next Griffin match.”
-“You’ll probably get help from Laura too, since the synergy between you and her is important.”
-“Once you’re ready, we’ll contact Laura.”
Choi Gaho said that to me too.
So, I guess I can’t step in until Sora has been accepted by Choi Gaho.
Until then, Sora probably won’t be coming to dance class. Because of that, I haven’t been able to do my hair when I go out.
And then, Sonarim...
-“Dungeon Seeker was fun! I’m curious about the whereabouts of the Dragon Knight and the Witch!”
-“But I think I’ll focus on team practice for now! We have back-to-back matches this week and next.”
This week it’s Griffin vs. Behemoth.
Next week it’s Griffin vs. Leviathan.
Which means Sonarim and I will be facing each other soon.
‘I might not see Sonarim until the match is over.’
As far as I know, Sonarim isn’t the type to be swayed by emotions. She’ll definitely separate business from personal matters.
She’s a thorough, uncompromising person.
Not willing to give up means not being willing to compromise.
Will I be facing off against a friend who I had fun with today?
Maybe Sonarim thinks that emotions or past memories will just get in the way of victory.
Because of that, I think Sonarim won’t be showing up for dance class for a while.
“Everyone’s busy because of the league. Ah, I’ve been watching some of the league too. It’s quite fun.”
I casually explained this to the dance trainer, and he responded with a smile.
“But Laura, you don’t need to come anymore.”
...?
“Ah, hello.”
After finishing lunch and returning to the office, Leon ran into an unexpected person.
Well, it wasn’t really that unexpected. After all, she was a VTuber from our company.
However, it’s quite rare for a VTuber to visit the office.
Especially for the 6th generation members who haven’t participated in external events.
“Hello.”
At Leon’s greeting, Chel gave a slight nod.
Chel Smeragi.
She had once attached herself to our company, but she was so stiff that we never really became close.
She didn’t express much emotion, and since she wasn’t Leon’s VTuber, it was a bit awkward to run into her like this.
“So, what brings you here today?”
“For an event tomorrow.”
“An event?”
“Yeah.”
Chel nodded.
“AGSS.”
“Oh, is it starting tomorrow?”
All Games & Subculture Show.
A large-scale game show held in Korea, lasting for five days.
While the main focus is on gaming exhibitions, it also covers subculture areas like anime.
‘Chel was assigned a small booth, wasn’t she?’
Among the 6th generation members, Aurora is definitely the most popular, but that doesn’t mean the others can’t gain some recognition.
As Aurora gains /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ popularity, some subscribers spill over to the other 6th generation members, and they gain their own recognition in their respective fields.
Sora, for example, has a solid reputation as a singing VTuber, and if she keeps releasing MVs, her popularity will surely rise.
Inagika also gained recognition in the subculture gacha games, and recently she even did an advertisement for Jelly’s Sugar Zero.
Chel gained some recognition through BlueReco dubbing, and that might be why she got this event opportunity.
‘I never thought Chel would be the first to participate in an external event among the 6th generation members.’
That’s what Leon thought.
