I woke up pretty late and filled my starving stomach with Crescendo Chicken for lunch.
The sponsor had sent over a ton of coupons, and I still had dozens left.
I figured I'd kill time until my stream by browsing the cafes and galleries as usual.
...Hmm.
But today, I had a feeling staying away from communities would be better for my mental health.
Skipping my daily routine of community surfing left me at a loss for what to do.
Turns out I was a severe community addict.
I just had to hold out until Ayase went live...
But resisting the temptation was no easy feat.
No matter how much I avoided communities,
I still had to check my YouTube channel.
Just moments ago,
the guy from 'Lee Jia's Sanctuary' said he'd finished editing the video.
...A 20-minute edit done in a single day.
This bastard.
No way.
[Lee Jia]: Pulled an all-nighter? [Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: Yeah [Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: I'm about to drop dead Anyone hearing this would think Omnia Archive, which is basically family, was some black company.
Why pull an all-nighter on the edit? Take it slow.
[Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: Let me know if there's anything to cut or fix [Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: I'll revise and resend right away. "..."
I do have a conscience.
I didn't want to pile more work on someone who'd already pulled an all-nighter editing.
I was about to say it was fine and just upload it.
Then,
curiosity struck—how exactly did I dance?
During the stream, I'd been too busy following tutorial videos to see myself on screen.
So I played the video.
It opened with the devotees' WWE chaos.
They lay en masse, spamming narak emotes and tagging moves relentlessly until the video's star—me—finally caved and declared I'd do the dance stream.
First up: Finance Boys' "Don't Invest" choreo, a male idol group.
Squeak.
Squeak squeak.
What robot is this?
Chuckles escaped naturally as I watched.
I'd thought I was nailing it pretty well,
but now I got why the chat flooded with "robot" spam.
The idol dance was neither fun nor touching,
and it ended spectacularly with me taking a massive spill.
Mosaiced, sure, but...
This vid was prime no-monetization material.
I don't run the YouTube channel for money.
With Archivist's Duty potentially shifting, it's to build up "Lee Jia" as a streamer heavyweight.
And Lee Jia's Sanctuary? He's a god at channel growth.
Thud!
"Gwehk!"
...Poor word choice.
Not god—king. Yeah.
Reflecting Myriad Stars never fails to smite me for blasphemy, even today.
Lee Jia's Sanctuary mixes videos super provocatively, monetization be damned.
I never expected revenue anyway, so no complaints.
"Urgh..."
Even accounting for that, this edit was something else.
I'd danced mindlessly, full throttle,
but seeing it now, the result was way racier than I'd imagined.
Look at that holy power pouch jiggling.
Like the physics engine glitched out.
...Motion capture that's too good is a problem.
Way too realistic.
Truth be told, even while dancing hard, the fat sacks on my chest bugged me plenty.
Ignoring that queasy feeling led to this mess.
After watching from start to finish, my face burned beet red.
[Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: Upload? [Lee Jia's Sanctuary]: If you don't like it, I'll trash it or fix it! "..."
Deep down, I wanted to tell him to delete it forever.
But how could I say that to someone who'd slaved over it for 15+ hours straight?
[Lee Jia]: Upload it. In the end, I gave the go-ahead in sheer resignation.
Screw it.
It'll work out somehow.
No checking my YouTube channel for a while.
...
...
...
Ayase went live.
"Hey ducklings, what's up? Ayase here!" There you are, my heart's home.
There you are, my heart's haven.
Only Ayase can soothe this weary soul.
Explaining why Ayase is the top VTuber would take five A4 pages at least.
If I had to pick just one reason,
it's her unique power to make people feel good.
She lifts not just humans, but Fervent Devotees too.
No real content needed—just sitting and listening to her voice lifts your mood naturally.
No exaggeration; it's real.
Her viewership doesn't top internet streaming for nothing.
As I nursed my battered heart with Ayase's stream,
something unpleasant slipped from her lips.
"What?! Jia did a dance stream?!" - Yeah
- Legend yesterday lololol
- Full 200% motion capture utilization, gloriously perished.
- Lee Jia dead?
- Not dead you idiots lololol
- (Social) death.
"I can't let this slide." ...Weird.
Should feel better watching Ayase,
so why more pain here?
Ayase then watched a clip of my dance.
The edited vid from my main channel, uploaded minutes ago.
True to Lee Jia's Sanctuary's no-fear-of-no-monetization style, even the edit shamelessly exposed everything except that panty scene.
Ah.
I didn't want Ayase of all people seeing this embarrassment.
Jump out the window...?
Of course, Awakener housing is only two stories, and this Fervent Devotee's tough body would shrug off a 30-story drop.
Meaningless gesture.
But that's how mortified I was.
Please stop watching.
"Ooh, hehe, hnnnggg." Wrong.
Ayase was fully immersed.
Once in hyperfocus, nothing stops her.
After watching start to finish,
she unleashed a machine-gun review in an excited voice.
"This... this is a revolution?! First time seeing a VTuber dance like this!" "Other VTubers stick to cute dances, but Jia... uh... um..." "Anyway, demand is guaranteed. Perfect targeting. See? I keep saying Jia's a super smart streamer!" "Too much? That's all part of Jia's plan. Don't know targeting?" "She just danced without thinking? No way! TAS below = week ban, watch it." Praise or diss?
Feels like she's roasting me, but also genuinely impressed.
Whatever.
Just stop mentioning me already.
