Peaceful Broadcast
"W-Well then, I'm gonna go start my stream! I said I'd turn it on early today!"
"Got it. Then I'll come watch too, sis."
The moment I heard Noona's words, I ended the call almost like I was fleeing. That last bit from her was obviously a joke, right? She didn't get a reply, but no way she'd actually quit streaming just because I'm doomed.
I stopped those useless thoughts, fiddled with my cheeks, and jumped into Pajijik. I'd told them yesterday I'd come on early, so by now, my unemployed dog-like viewers—no, my audience—were probably waiting like puppies.
Broadcast Title | 【Day 6】 Came early like I promised!!
I set the familiar title and hit start broadcast. I'd eaten lunch early, so it wasn't even noon yet, but as soon as the screen lit up, viewers started trickling in one by one. Probably because I posted the collab announcement yesterday, drawing them in today too?
As my brain-melting opening song played, watching the chat fill up made my heart feel all warm. It wasn't flooding like a big corp yet, but wasn't this better than most small streamers?

By the time the opening song was ending and enough viewers had gathered, I turned on my mic.
"A-Ah! Hey everyone! I really turned it on early today, right?"
As expected, they knew I'd gamed with Huran Noona. If I'd used a burner account, I could've hidden it, but since it was just another girl, no big deal.
"Tomorrow's the collab, right? So I just played a bit with Noona to get to know her better."

Is Huran okay? Saw the notice but still...
Maybe because they're Noona's fans? Even one word felt full of sincerity.
"Thanks so much for the 10k! Noona said she misses you guys too, so no need to worry."
Watching the wholesome chat reactions warmed my chest.
"A-Alright! Let's wrap up the wholesome vibes here!"
I clapped on purpose. Was it hormones? This fluffy mood kept going and I felt like I might get emotional.
"Ahem... Anyway, I made a fan cafe yesterday, right? Today I'll decorate it more, read some posts, and decide what to do next."
I showed the fan cafe on stream with a slightly awkward voice.
Atelier - Riee Fan Cafe
Members - 41
It'd only been less than 12 hours since I made it, so still around 40 members. It might seem low, but for a trash female streamer, it was precious.
"Nothing's there yet and already 40 joined!"
Should I ban that raisin talk in chat rules? But it's our meme, so maybe let it slide. More importantly, what's atelier mean? I hadn't looked it up.
"Uh... um, atelier means... hold on."
I trailed off and quickly searched atelier on Twiwiki.
Atelier: Workshop or studio (from English).
"It means workshop or studio!"
"Huh?"
Did I not cover the screen?
"Ah, no, that's not it!"
I quickly switched back to chat with my mouse and cleared my throat. Good thing it was Twiwiki—if it'd been the Gallery or something, disaster.
At least I don't go to the Gallery on PC, really saved me... Anyway, mistake today means no more tomorrow, right?
"Ahem! Anyway, the meaning's super pretty, right? Fits our vibe perfectly?"
Good thing it wasn't the Gallery or some risky site—the viewers teased lightly then moved on. I switched back to the fan cafe and naturally checked the free board posts.
"Alright, shall we read the first cafe post?"
"Haa..."
A sigh slipped out. I was almost gonna laugh at that post—what a pain. But maybe the first one's just like that; others should be fine?
"Then let's slowly read the next one!"
Thankfully, the weird dad joke was the first and last. After that, mostly join greetings and excitement for the Huran Noona collab.

As I read and chatted, live viewers grew, and cafe members climbed too. Probably 'cause I read everything—even crap posts to get read.
"Alright, cafe reading ends here for today? Been an hour—time to prep a game?"
Noraebang? I'd thought about it, but in my one-room, I felt eyes on me. Even with Noona upstairs and no one downstairs, soundproofing wasn't perfect.
"Hmm, noraebang... My place isn't great for soundproofing."
Viewers had a point. Modern VTubers all sang decently. And back when I was a guy, I sang too—just no one to show.
"Then shall I sing a few chill ones?"
Chat mixed excitement and worry. Fair—seen VTubers abruptly end mid-song from neighbor complaints.
"I'll sing super quiet, so don't worry! But just in case..."
I muted the mic, went to the wall by my bed, and pressed my ear against it. Weekday daytime? No sounds from next door.
Dumb method, but better safe. I checked behind the PC too, then returned and unmuted.
"Okay, neighbors seem empty!"
Lots of teasing, but I ignored it. Analog's always most accurate.

Thirty-one, twenty possible?
"Thanks for the 10k! Thirty-one, twenty? Of course!"
Perfect timing—teasing viewers pushed aside, I opened Noraetube, found an MR, upped mic volume a bit. But for singing, need echo...
"No echo, what now?"
I could set up echo, but viewers just wanted my raw singing. Fair—raw beats echo sometimes.
"Ahem. I'll sing chill, so no roasting!"
Can I really nail it? First time in girl voice—heart pounding, exciting tension.
"Scattered by the wind..."
Huran Noona liking it too meant it was decent. Why so many typos though?
