Loli Vtuber 109

Test

Chapter 109. [Legendary VTuber]


With permission from the agency, Ah-nee, Anguogu, and I started our live streams. 

At the same time, VTubers affiliated with various agencies also began their streams. 

As expected of major agencies, their influence was on a completely different level than before.

 Like a chain reaction, information spread among VTuber fans.

"'Let my words reach you!' I'm the translator girl, Iroha!"

>Irohalo!

>Irohalo!

>Irohalo! (U.S.)

Thanks to leaving behind-the-scenes work to Ah-nee's manager-san and Mai, I could focus on my stream. 

Those managers are true professionals.

Their involvement not only increased the speed of operations.

They brought in many techniques and strategies that surpassed an amateur like me.

For example, MyTube is restricted in countries like China.

To ensure our voices reach people in those countries. They utilized different streaming platforms.

With permission from the original streamers, they handled video editing, subtitles, tag settings, uploads, and promotion...

We could have never achieved all of that on our own.

"I have VTubers I support in Russia, Ukraine, Japan... All around the world. And fans are supporting them. I want a tomorrow where we can all watch streams together!"

As I made this plea, I glanced at the monitor to the side. 

It displayed the "Projection Curve" of election results.

It's from a website called "Real-Time Politics." 

It provided real-time result predictions using current voting rates, past results, and big data from social media, among other sources.

Until now, the power balance had divided into two. 

Moreover, the political party to which the male presidential candidate belonged had a significant advantage. 

Until just a moment ago, that is.

[It's not about who's right or wrong between Ukraine and Russia! Let's stop the fighting first! Then, let's talk again!]

The appearance of this third force caused a change in the situation. 

The gap between the two main parties was gradually closing.

"Come on! Come on!"

Right here, the Translator Girl, Iroha, is here!

Anegasaki Monet is here! 

Angu Ogu is here!

When the three of us are together, we're unbeatable. Invincible.

There's nothing we can't do!

Driven by such a wish, the predicted approval rating continues to rise.

47%, 48%, 49%.

"Just a little more!"

"Almost there!"

>Go! (U.S.)

>Rise higher!

>Win!

Everyone in the chats is united in spirit.

The numbers are fluctuating between 49% and 50%.

And finally, the deadlock is broken.

"...No.... way....."

48%, 47%... Once again, the numbers begin to decline.

No way. Could it be that it wasn't enough?

<<...Ah!>>

"Why!?"

On the screen, Angu Ogu's stream, which was opened in a separate window, lets out a cry.

Likewise, Ah-nee beside me wears a face of despair.

"............Is it hopeless?"

Are we unable to change the world?

Do VTubers not have that kind of power?

I have about 1 million subscribers.

Even Angu Ogu, who has the most subscribers among active VTubers, has 4 million subscribers.

In comparison, the population of the United States is -300 million.

Ha-ha... It's laughable.

No, in the first place, it was an impossible task.

And in the American electoral system, minority opinions are easily suppressed.

Perhaps this result was inevitable.

Besides, it was just a story of "let's do what we can." It escalated along the way.

Well, it's more than enough.

We've come this far, and that's good. It was an impossible problem, to begin with. So...

"It can't be helped."

The words slipped from my mouth.

And it got picked up by the stream.

I thought, "Ah."

However, the chats were kind.

>You did your best. (U.S.)

>Iroha-chan, good job.

>It was close. (Korean)

I see. Is it okay for me to end it here?

Starting to feel that way.

<<...----Don't mess around, Iroha!>>

"O-ogu!?"

Angu Ogu yelled on her stream.

Just as I had her stream open in a separate window, she was also listening to my stream.

<<'Shouganai.' Don't say that! I hate that word the most in Japanese! There is no word like 'Shouganai' in the English dictionary! So, so...!>>

Across the lag of the live stream, Angu Ogu's voice pierced through my heart.

I shouted back. 

"Ah, I already know! I don't want to give up either!"

But... Damn it, why!

Why doesn't it reach?

I wished from the bottom of my heart.

Anything will do. Anyone will do. Please, change the course of this flow!

>Is this for real?

>Here it comes.

>Are you kidding me?

"...Huh?"

At that moment, the flow of the comments suddenly changed.

I felt a rustling sound.

Based on the incoming information, I visited a certain channel.

There, I saw the words "[Waiting]" displayed.

The video only showed a logo resembling a power button, placed alone.

It gently blinked, indicating a "Sleep" state.

With a click, a sound resonated.

Along with the startup sound, the screen switched.

The legendary VTuber, who had been asleep for so long, woke up.
