The Second Generation's New Year's Special Report (2)
The Anathema Production official channel was streaming its New Year's special broadcast, the "New Year's Gathering of the Unholy" for the second generation.
Based on Japanese folklore for the first generation and European folklore for the second.
Their common point was that, among the VTubers with inhuman RP, there was one human admin in charge. The first generation's miko, Rokumondera Aki, had that setting, and so did the second generation's holy knight, Amairo Tsubasa.
"In the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Thank you to all viewers who found our broadcast. We are sending it from the official channel of Anathema Production. This is Amairo Tsubasa of the second generation."
"If you say that, then... shall we do it that way."
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, today is the official channel broadcast to commemorate the New Year. We have arrived at the Anapro studio.
Tsubasa, seemingly unfazed by the chat, immediately returned to her original program.
"Apologies, honored guests. We are sending off the old year and welcoming the new year. For this, it is natural to reflect on oneself, and it is important to consider how to live this year. Therefore, we have decided to call the 'Special Protection Observation Target' to listen to the mid-term report."
Usually they were casually referred to as "2nd gen colleagues," but the formal name from the setting was "Special Protection Observation Target."
The "Blasphemy Project" to make the four weird ones live in the human world while hiding their true identities was the core setting that ran through the Anathema 2nd generation.
("To put it bluntly, even if we explain the daily life of an inhuman concept, it's a trick to avoid setting conflicts." Tsubasa, who was preparing for debut, evaluated.)
Amairo Tsubasa was the holy knight dispatched from the church as the director.
"First... shall we greet the viewers in order of seating?"
"Yes. Bonne Année, happy new year. I am Charlotte Lupus, the werewolf of the 2nd generation. ── Well, next Serena-chan."
"Already? Hmph. Con-Sere, the Anathema 2nd gen, the witch and ghost combo, Serena Razania. Currently looking for a lover!"
"No, that last part is unnecessary, right?"
One after another, the two models appeared, each wearing a dark blue and light purple kimono. Two upper bodies were placed on the pre-prepared meeting room desk illustration.
"Wait. What is this treatment like a virgin bitch?! Is the viewers' perception of me strange?"
"There is some self-inflicted part in that, so let's move on to the next introduction."
Serena got angry at the rude "molsada" treatment from the viewers, but Tsubasa—by the way, this side was the water kimono—smoothly brushed it off.
Since Tsubasa knew she wasn't really angry, of course.
The type that hits on and gets rejected, then immediately next confession with a giggle. It can be seen as a kind of self-deprecating joke.
"Konmea! The vampire queen who will one day rule this world! Mary Tepes..."
But before finishing the greeting, a red superchat split the chat.
"Eh? Eeek...?"
The time it takes to display the modeling for the greeting and deliver the standardized greeting phrase is only a few seconds. In that gap, Han Seoyeon’s action pierced through, and Ninomae let out a stunned sound.
And from that moment, the superchat rain continued for a while. It happened with the other members too, but Mary Tepes felt like there were especially many.
"What can I say. Mary Tepes has the most subscribers among the 2nd gen? That's natural, isn't it."
"I always think it's over the top love, but... still, Sae-chan's turn is always late."
The viewers' goodwill was of course happy. But sometimes it was too positive, making it burdensome.
If it was in the past, she would have brushed it off with "I'm just acting the character I was made to be," but...
"Kon-Sae. Anathema 2nd gen, the great demon Sae-chan!"
The yellow kimono contrasting the red hair gave an immature atmosphere, like a chick.
"Oh my, what? Cute. Marry me, Sae-chan."
"Lady Serena. Where exactly is your strike zone?"
"Eeeh, but it's cute. I even thought of grandchildren's names."
"The conversation is going to the wrong direction, so please be quiet, Loli-con lord. Also, you are a ghost."
"How can the magical power make the child not possible?"
It couldn't happen. Tsubasa dismissed Serena's claim.
"Still, I agree with Serena-chan that Sae-chan is cute."
"Don't say cute...!"
"Haha, I did. Sorry for treating you like a kid, Mademoiselle."
"What... I'll forgive you this time. ...Shar unnie."
"I was going to be kind too."
"What... Serena-chan has a somehow black heart leaking out..."
"No need to beat around the bush, Lady Mary. It's not just leaking, right. Even if it's kind, Serena's is the type like 'Uncle will buy you candy, kuhehe'."
"Too much reaction. No matter how much this witch sister, if I say this much, it will hurt, right?"
"Hah. Since everyone praises me like that, I don't know what to do."
"No, it's not praise? You have good eyesight, Serena auntie?"
"The conversation has wandered off again....... Everyone really doesn't listen to you......"
"Ahaha... You have worked hard, Tsubasa-chan."
With everyone's individuality, Tsubasa, the leader and host, had a hard time. Mary gave her a bitter smile and comforted her.
"Ah... No matter how much I control it, it's like Sisyphus's suffering, returning to the starting point, an endless hell! It's starting to heat up...! This is also suffering! Let's see when we can enter this corner!"
"Tsuba-chan?!"
But if there was a misjudgment, the woman Amairo Tsubasa mainly took the tackle role, but sometimes when the switch was on, she threw the obligation without hesitation.
That is, her attitude of immediately dropping the reins, Ninomae Hitomi could only let out a scream in shock.
Self-Reflection Time
"Yes... Then shall we enter the first corner..."
"No, this unnie suddenly dropped tension? Are you okay?"
"My Sisyphus, the Corinth mountain... the caldera has become... so I was a little disappointed... It's okay..."
"Si... what?"
Then Tsubasa returned to broadcast host mode, and continued with a somewhat gloomy voice.
Tsuba was overflowing with enthusiasm to lead the uncontrollable colleagues—mainly Serena—and somehow conduct the broadcast, but when everyone stopped chit-chat and started cooperating with the broadcast, the tension seemed to have dropped.
"U, Serena-chan."
"Huh? Why, Mary-chan?"
Watching that, Mary suddenly had a suspicion and poked Serena next to her with her elbow.
"Why did you suddenly stop after talking so happily?"
"If I start enjoying the main point constantly leaking to the side, I don't want to be obedient anymore?"
"No... this person is evil to the core..."
"Hmph. The first corner is... as I said in the opening, last year's self-reflection meeting."
"Ah, recovered."
With Tsubasa's words, the text "202X year self-reflection time" appeared at the top of the broadcast screen.
"Let's talk about the events from last year that each of us remembers... as written in the script. Is it elementary school presentation time?"
"Eeeh? Can we talk about that?"
"Which one, the part that says there is a script or the part that criticizes it?"
"Either way, I think it's a problem..."
Mary, who had become the tackle person as usual, put her hand on her forehead.
"Still, since the operation side ordered it, we have to perform it. In my case..."
Personal Stories of the 2nd Gen Events They Remember
Tsubasa: Hot spring trip broadcast
Charlotte: Halloween broadcast (making cookies)
Mary: Christmas broadcast (bit show)
Sae: Demon war
Serena: First 2nd gen group integration
"Christmas gacha was pretty strong, huh"
"What was the Halloween broadcast again"
"Is it really a Mary Tepes collab broadcast with no one missing"
"Sae is really being isolated from the 2nd gen?"
Title: Mary Tepes Can't Hold Back Her Desire Again
Mary: "By the way, I failed to diet last year, so this year I have to do it. I was careless and gained too much weight."
Serena: "Bullshit. Since her debut, the only part of Mary Tepes's body that has gained weight is her breasts. My eyes are the evidence."
Title: Serena: New Year's Goal My Ass, Live Only
Serena "I feel like a hole will be drilled in the top from how nervous I am."
Sae "That's not something you can't endure at all, so relax"
"Honestly, it was a pity I couldn't follow the trip because I was hospitalized then. It was a legendary broadcast."
"The miko who is serious about the punishment..."
Video Clip
Charlotte: "By the way, everyone tried stocks because they were doing it, but when I put it in renewable energy, it plummeted. This kind of thing is probably not something beginners should mess with."
Tsubasa: "Shall I upload it?"
Charlotte: "Eh?"
Tsubasa: "Ah. That was a slip of the tongue just now. Please forget it."
"Is there good news for renewable energy related stocks?"
"What is Hakurenno"
"Is the holy knight rich?"
Title: What? Surprise?
The kids' reactions suggest this development wasn't written in the script.
