Chapter Title: Lulu-chan, No Bad Words!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After hanging up the call with the President.
I continued my stream as usual.
Then, taking a short break midway, I ended up browsing the fan cafe.
"Eh?"
A piping hot new post caught my eye.
I clicked it, and there sat a clip video, big and bold.
Play.
"Gasp...!"
The high-energy voice hit me the moment the video started.
The avatar shaking wildly side to side seemed to perfectly capture Verdia-nim's excitement.
Thanks to the tiny subtitles pinned below, the viewers caught on quick, and the chat exploded in seconds.
Unlike our group, which just debuted, Verdia-nim was one of the most famous VTubers in the world.
Of course there'd be her fans in my stream.
And they were all hyped about this collab.
"Ehehe... Yeah, it was. I was gonna announce it a bit later, but you guys already found out."
I nodded with an awkward smile.
I'd wanted to build it up like a surprise reveal.
But Verdia-nim had spilled it on stream in that short time?
Still, it meant she was that excited for our collab.
A little disappointing, sure, but mostly thrilled.
Yuna was probably watching this clip right now, too.
"Psh, as if I'd join the Do You Know Club. Here's what happened..."
I rambled on.
I summed up my chat with the President nice and quick.
The collab news was already out, so this much was fine.
"...And that's how it went down. It was originally just gonna be Verdia-nim and Yuki-chan, but I figured communication or running the stream might be tricky, so I kinda stuck my spoon in there."
If they could've communicated fine on their own.
I wouldn't have been needed at all.
Worried I'd drag down the collab's fun, I felt a bit uneasy.
"Hehe, probably just being polite. But it made me so grateful."
Me getting a shoutout from a million-sub VTuber?
Even if it was lip service, it made my day.
"I'll be handling some translation and MC duties this time. And get this—I just found out today that Yuki-chan's fave has always been Verdia-nim."
"Hey! What kinda talk is that! Don't you have any conscience?!"
Fave is something special!
No way Yuki-chan's fave is someone like me!
These guys were crossing lines today.
"Anyway, Yuki-chan was over the moon about it. We chatted quick on Discord during my break, and seeing her so hyped was adorable. Especially when Yuki-chan gets excited—her tone goes up, and she starts stumbling over words a bit? It's just...!"
I was gushing about Yuki-chan's charms.
But the chat vibe seemed totally checked out.
So I lightly thumped the desk to grab attention.
"Ahem! This is test material! Pay attention! Today, I'm breaking down every last bit of Yuki-chan's charm for you all!"
As if!
Two thousand won wasn't chump change!
But it wasn't nearly enough to stop my Yuki-chan Studies 101!
"This is exactly Yuki-chan's... Eh? A cl-clip?"
Mid-gush about Yuki-chan.
A dono flew in, and I panicked, refreshing the cafe.
A clip?
Was there anything clip-worthy in what I just said?
It was all everyday stuff.
"Wh-what is this...?"
The title made no sense.
But seeing is believing, so I clicked the post.
Same creator as before—similar subtitle style popped up.
Wait a sec.
So in that short time, they clipped my stream, showed it to Verdia-nim.
Then subtitled her reaction and posted it back?
We could use someone for our main channel edits...
Might slide a job offer their way later.
Sometimes I'd check out posts from illustrators and talented folks on the cafe.
Scrap 'em for future gigs.
People started calling it the Lulu Basket.
So rude.
I'm not putting people in a shopping cart like products.
Just scouting top talent on the side.
My on-stream words had subtitles too.
Guess that's what they sent Verdia-nim.
"Pr-princess...?!"
Uwaaaah! No! Stop!
My life points were already zero!
Princess? My hands and feet were vanishing!
Even my members didn't call me that!
Writhing, I watched the clip continue.
This part was me hyping Yuki-chan's charms.
After my long ramble ended, Verdia-nim finally spoke.
Her long, heartfelt praise.
I watched the clip to the end in a daze.
She even predicted this clip would reach me.
Like a short video letter.
Viewers were thrilled like it was their own win.
They spammed 'Okay?' from her last line.
"Wh-when did I ever say anything bad...?"
Hit right in the face, I felt sheepish.
I shrank under the desk, mumbling timidly.
B-but I didn't expect a clip like this...
"Wuu... Using this against me...?"
Sure, the kind words were great.
But now the chat was showering me with embarrassing praise.
Argue back, and they'd cry 'Denying Verdia-nim?!'
No choice for now.
Till I had ammo to fight back.
What rebels.
Annoying viewers, but stream must go on.
I cleared my throat to reply to Verdia-nim.
Kept it short in English.
No crying, you guys!
You totally didn't understand it!
What're you bragging about!
That was elementary school English level!
"N-nope! Punishment for teasing me today! Curious? Look it up yourselves!"
I debated spilling it.
But the Cherries annoyed me today, so lips sealed.
Think I didn't see you spamming 'ㄱㅇㅇ' earlier?!
Hmph!
Time's up anyway.
Stream ending now!
Ponder that all night!
