Chapter Title: Paradise Vlog
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Never thought she'd start spilling Paradise stories right from the first casual chat]
How the hell do you beat that thing...?
Doesn't she care about her classmates at all, Veronica!!
-Yeah, she's just roasting her classmates lol;;
-Even more legendary, dropping F-bombs out loud when something shady clearly went down today lol
-How loud is her voice for it to carry all the way over here lol
[She's truly one of a kind lol]
Honestly, there are tons of VTubers who sing great and game well, right?
Even Mutant VTubers are popping up here and there lately.
But I haven't seen a single one talk about how they actually live in Paradise lol
-Yeah, her league is just way above everyone else's;;
-The other 3rd gens are no slouches either? They all have their strengths, whether it's singing or whatever... but hers is just on another level lol
[And in the midst of it all, "I'm kinda strong tho<<" Legendary lol]
Like, what does she have to do to take out a whole bunch of street brawlers in one go?
What kind of Mutant is she anyway?
If it's sound-based, maybe something like a bat?
-Won't we find out by asking her classmates later?
-The other 3rd gens say they've never met Veronica in person either lol She lives in Paradise alone, so no chance to meet.
-What era is this mystic concept from lol
-But isn't that kinda what builds the hype?
-She said she's heading to Korea soon to meet the members, so we can expect some stories then.

The tales of Paradise caused a huge stir among people.
It was a place shrouded in rumors, like "I heard they're coming out with a tourism package," but nothing concrete.
Few people truly knew what went on inside.
Mutants in America were the type who extremely disliked revealing themselves to others, after all.
That's why info on Paradise was scarce.
But who could've predicted someone would spill the beans like this?
Maybe because of that, the viewer count was unusually high.
[Hello, everyone. Happy weekend. Hope you're all having a great day.]
My broadcast slot was fixed from 8 PM to 2 AM.
It was that time when people had eaten dinner, blood sugar spiking, half-asleep, yet still itching for more fun under the evening's spell.
-Beha~
-So what're we doing today?
-Can you tell us more Paradise stories?
[We'll see. I actually prepared some content today.]
-What content?
-Movie reaction?
-Or maybe horror game? Elaine (Lee Ji-an)'s collab stream was hilarious lol
[No, not collab games. I'm super immune to that stuff...]
-Oh, really?
-But you won't know till you try, right?
[Guys, think about it logically. The neighborhood I live in is full of Mutants smashing everything in fights—what makes you think a lame jump scare from a ghost game would faze me?]
-Ah
-lol;;; Can't argue with that
-So what's the content lol
-Stop teasing and spill already...
[Today's content is... ta-da.]
At that moment, the screen switched, revealing the surroundings.
-??? No way?
-What's this?
"Today's content is a Paradise vlog!"
Instantly, the chat filled with question marks.
-???
-Paradise vlog...?
-Is this okay?
"Psh, it's fine, totally fine. Got permission from the CEO, and my face won't show up directly. Keeping true to a VTuber's duties."
-lololololol
-If the CEO approved, all good;;
-But is it safe? Shoving a camera around there dangerous?
-Even if she's tough, pissing off folks in Paradise sounds bad...
"It's fine. I even booked a guest today, so we're gonna tour Paradise shops and stuff together."
-Guest? Who?
-Probably not someone we know...?
"Hmm, you've probably seen her face on the news once or twice?"
-??????
-Who the heck...?
-Such a person exists?
"Yeah. Alright, shall we stand up for a sec?"
I grabbed the vlog action cam and moved, carefully angling it so my face stayed out of frame.
Just in case, I wore a mask too—no way my identity was getting leaked.
"The guest should be arriving any minute."
Right on cue, a message from Sia popped up on my smartphone.
I'd told her waiting outside to come in when I signaled.
And to watch the way she addressed me.
"Ah, she's here."
-Who the heck is this guest?
-Kinda nerve-wracking ㄷㄷ;
-But is the guest okay on cam?
"She said it's fine. Oh, but since you're a guest, no rude comments, okay?"
-You think we're like you?
-Lmao calling out your senior like that from the start lololol
...Yeah, no comeback there. RP or not, I did talk casually.
Well, that was scripted WWE...
"That was a agreed-upon thing, okay? I'm not the type to just blurt stuff out."
-Not the type? Then what was that F-bomb we heard yesterday?
-Local attitude really is next level lol
"You guys gonna keep nitpicking? Want me to go full wild and ruin your chance to see Paradise?"
-Gasp
-noooooooo
My threat finally made the viewers back down.
As if they'd stick their necks out knowing I'd do it.
"Anyway, you'll recognize today's guest the moment you see her. She's been on the media plenty."
-Can we skip the hype and just show her?
"Ugh, so impatient. Fine, fine. Come in!"
At my shout, the door opened, and Sia—the radiant golden-haired High Elf—stepped in.
Viewers seeing Sia could only react with shock.
-Isn't that Sia the mayor?
-Why's Paradise's mayor here?
-Wtf is the streamer's identity?
"Ah, back when I was in Korea, I worked a bit with the mayor."
-This is insane;; Brain can't process
-Why is this person even a VTuber?
-How's her VTuber rep this high? Paradise mayor connections are insane lololol
For reference, Sia was a Mutant respected anywhere in the world.
As mayor of Paradise, the city of Mutants.
If Ermenia was Paradise's guardian and mother to Mutants worldwide, Sia was her closest aide.
No one on Earth dared treat her lightly unless they had a death wish.
So why on earth was someone like her showing up here?
Viewers were probably wondering that.
I gave them a simple answer.
"I've known the mayor since before the Mutant Management Bureau was even a thing."
"Just treat me casually, sis. No need to get formal now... Wait, so you called me here to film a vlog?"
For reference, Sia was one of the tiny handful who knew I was a VTuber.
Min-hyuk, Sia, Nia.
The only three who knew about my VTuber activities.
Since I needed her permission to operate in Paradise... I had no choice but to tell her about my debut.
"Yeah. Didn't I mention it earlier?"
"You did, but I didn't think you'd actually do it. What wind blew you into becoming a VTuber...?"
"Seemed fun. So I gave it a shot."
-Oh, so you and the mayor are actually sis-level close?
-CEO... what kinda monster did you debut as a VTuber...
"So, what do I do?"
"Introduce Paradise a bit."
"No way, sis. You've been holed up here for months and never toured it?"
"Saved it all for our viewers, hehe."
"Ugh, can't get used to it. Especially not with you calling me sis."
Sia recoiled at the sight of me.
-Whoa... an Elf roasting... rare sight.
"Hey, what did I say earlier?"
-Gasp
-^^7
-Ve
-ri
-fi
-ca
"No permanent ban, got it?"
-Yep
"Good. So, wanna take a light tour around Paradise?"
* * *
Veronica filming a Paradise vlog!
It was like a bomb dropping out of nowhere in the communities.
What VTuber films a vlog right after debuting?
And the content was anything but ordinary.
Every troll in the book swarmed in.
"Wow, never seen this many viewers before."
"How many?"
"...Dunno. At least over a hundred thousand."
"Channel won't crash?"
"Seems the staff worked overtime since I announced the Paradise stream. Btw, when's that Paradise tourism package dropping?"
"Remember those two you buried in the ground last time?"
"Yeah."
"Lately, more types like that are showing up in Paradise, so we're tightening enforcement. Once that's done, we'll officially designate tourist spots."
"Mainly where?"
"Where we're headed now. The Dwarf district."
"Ooh... No more fighting like old times?"
"No reason to. They don't wanna get beaten to death by Nia for picking fights with Elves, right?"
"Pfft."
-lolololololololol
-Elf-Dwarf rivalry is real;;
-Wasn't that pretty famous?
-Lots don't know lol
"Don't even get me started. Back when Dwarves first came to Paradise, they clashed with Elves so much Nia had to mediate tons."
Viewers perked up at my words.
"But these days, conflicts are rare. Dwarves are tinkering with stuff, so we upped support there, and now they're even friendly with Elves."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah. We're here now. At the Dwarves' forge."
I aimed the action cam as Sia spoke.
The sight that appeared left everyone stunned.
The massive Dwarf forge.
Viewers gaped at its overwhelming scale.
