Chapter 12

-Whoa, this really feels like listening to folk radio;;; -Truman, that bastard, he's living the dream ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠lol, Uwar even shouted it out for him -Lmao who's Truman? -"Good morning, good evening, and good night!" So beautiful -End-of-stream ment sick!!!

I skimmed through the scrolling chat and moved on to the next topic. Even if there was no rush, dragging it out too long would make things boring. It felt right to wrap up the Uwar introduction here.

"So, does anyone have any questions about me? I'll answer anything I can."

"First off, the chat's scrolling too fast. I don't think I can read and respond to everything. I did set up a fan cafe separately, though. How about posting there?"

The KR Maerchen Live fan cafe, nicknamed KREAM, was the fandom name for fans of KR-affiliated Maerchen VTubers. Of course, individual fandom names existed too, but most streams just called them KREAMs.

Inside the KREAM fan cafe were personal fan cafes for VTubers up to the 11th gen, including me, and at the top was the shared KR Maerchen Board.

And right now, if you checked the hot posts...

And if you went to my fan cafe...

It was a piping hot fan cafe created right when the MV dropped. But who designed my board? Why's it so soft and squishy?

I left the incoming questions alone for a moment and glared at the board's banner.

"I don't know who designed it, but I hope I never run into them."

It was you, huh, Assistant.

I sighed inwardly and checked the board. How long had I been showing it? Already on page 3.

"Lots of questions already-. What the heck is this."

As I flipped pages, weird questions popped up occasionally, but they got deleted before I could see them. From the titles alone, they were a bit... well. Anyway.

I tried going through them one by one from page 1, but there were too many to cover everything.

"Hmm. I'll answer about 5 per page. And duplicates obviously get skipped."

Page 1, first question. I picked one that seemed popular among viewers.

"And since I'm picking the questions, don't be too bummed if yours doesn't get chosen."

"First question it is. Do I have a crush? No. As a hero born not to love anyone. If anything, maybe my seniors? But more like admiration than romantic."

"Moving on to the next."

And just like that, 30 minutes passed after the first question. I got plenty more, but they were all similar, so my answers got shorter.

As I was about to wrap up...

"Military... hmm. Never served, but I know more about it than you might think."

The fresh question made my mouth itch to spill. I had done military service. Back when I was a guy. But now I'm a girl, and my current past has no service.

"Not a total milfag, but... like, I know stuff like 'Superiority of the Divine Bullet'."

Qu-quick, next question. I flipped pages fast to dodge the teasing.

What now. "What're you doing, Manager-nim? Bored?"

She's my one and only manager, so I should answer. "Excluding Tsupi-nim, I've only met one other, so among managers I've met... Tsupi-nim's number one."

The chilling message made me smile awkwardly as I turned back to the stream screen.

Q&A could end here. Already 30 minutes in, and there's more content anyway.

'Content... kinda stretching it.'

Song stream isn't really content, but debut streams get a pass from viewers. I'm still a total noob broadcaster anyway.

"Shall we end questions here? Made it to page 10, hope you're satisfied."

"Still stuff to do, where would I go? Singing a few songs and chatting a bit."

Debut streams without songs feel lacking, right? Seniors always sang at theirs. Cliché, but safest debut.

"Aa. Echo good?"

I'll fix that A someday. I chuckled at the chat and switched backgrounds—from cozy wooden room to medieval tavern. Visuals are key.

"Alright. Let's start!"

My debut wasn't over yet.

*

I sang exactly three songs. Viewers whined for more, but debuts are time attacks. With end-of-stream looming, I prepped for next time.

Chatted briefly with viewers, solidified my RP concept too.

"Hoo."

Just 1 hour 15 minutes, but fatigue hit hard after that long stretch. I'd probably crash as soon as stream ended.

"Alright, everyone. Time to say goodbye."

Unfortunately, our first journey ends here. "Remember what I said earlier?"

I smiled at the clinging chat. "In case you forgot, one more time. Good morning, good evening, and good night."

The curtain fell on my debut stream.
