Ch.17 Chat Stream : "Marshmallow Roasting"

(TL note : in case you're not familiar with it, Marshmallow is basically a Q&A website many Vtubers use)

"Everyone, earlier this morning, Ouka from the Futaba family had passed away due to muscle pain all over her body, so today we will be streaming a marshmallow roasting instead. A moment of silence for her please."

My room in VR space.

What was previously a dull room has now been renovated with an interior that exudes a sci-fi feel.

There, I floated with countless monitors surrounding me and began broadcasting.

: No way……

: That has to be a lie right, Sakutan? .

: That's why I always tell her not to pick up anything heavier than chopsticks.

: Everyone is just typing normally lol

: There's not even a moment of silence

Futaba Ouka : Curse youuuuuu!

: You're still alive?

: Maybe it's her ghost.

"The Ouka modifying plan is progressing smoothly. So, we might be able to see the explosive birth of Neo Ouka in the near future."

: She's being modified lol

: But even if you modify her, it's still Sakutan you know?

: Yeah, probably the weakest one in the Prisma Ark.

: No matter what number you multiply 0 by, it's still 0 

Futaba Ouka : Huh? I've always been an ultimate life form though?!

"Well said! Then it should be fine even if you put more effort into it right!"

Futaba Ouka : Wait

: lol

: Ah, she got baited into a promise.

: This might not be good anymore.

Futaba Ouka : Um...

Futaba Ouka : We can talk about this

: So desperate lol

"Now that I've received some motivation from Ouka, I'll get to work roasting the marshmallows right away. But first, thanks for all the marshmallows."

 "Heyyyyyyyyy!!" Ouka's death throes were elegantly ignored.

Just rest quietly.

: Sent!

: I sent one too

: Will you read mine?

: It's gonna be exciting!

: I'm only interested in Alphery's marshmallows (iykwim)

: There are also some perverts here.

"There are so many that my eyes almost rolled back, but I managed to read them all. If I were to go through them all, it would easily take several days, so please bear with me."

Alright, now let's do this.

I moved one of the monitors closer to me so that I could see the broadcast screen.

"Let's start with this."

《Is there a Prisma Ark senior that you like or admire?》

"It's a classic question. Although, as I said before, I'm currently still learning. Since they're related to Ouka, I'm currently watching clippings of people from Autumn, Summer, Spring and Winter to accompany my work."

Autumn, Summer, Spring and Winter is the name of a unit made up of four genmates: Futaba Ouka, Natsukawa Kikyo, Kusunoki Momiji, and Yukino Suisen.

By the way, all of them are adorable beastmen with animal ears and tails, and their normal costumes are traditional Japanese clothing.

: Oh yeah, I watched the collaboration stream the other day too.

: That's great, fall, summer, spring, winter... but when they get together as a group, the spring one often goes missing.

: That's good... But Ouka from the Futaba family often skips out.

: She have social anxiety, soo.

Futaba Sakura : Ha? I'm not though??

Kusunoki Momiji : Well said!

Futaba Sakura : Huh... what are you doing here...

Natsukawa Kikyo : I'm here too!

Yukino Suisen : I'm just a fan. I admire her regardless of whether she's a junior or not."

: All of the genmates are watching too.

: It's Sakutan's though.

"Thanks, Suisen-senpai. It seems that the others are having a hard time with Ouka as well. But as long as I'm here, I won't let her cancel at the last minute like before, so please keep inviting her. She's the type od person that would turn people down when invited, but when she stops being invited, she gets depressed."

: She's acting like a mother or sister lmao.

: Hmm, Sakutan's interpretation is exactly the same.

: The ultimate attention seeker

Kusunoki Momiji : I'm grateful

Futaba Sakura : Hin

"So that being said, let's continue. Let's keep things moving at a good pace."

《Power!》

"Power! Okay, next."

: Hey, what was that just now?

: A meme from over 20 years ago

: The old men are getting caught!

《Good afternoon! I'm a middle school student who looks up to Alpheria, and I want to perform a concert just like her! How can I get into Prisma Ark?!》

"Thank you for looking up to me. If you want to perform like me, you should first train your body. Especially your core."

I tell her the same thing I told Sakura a few hours ago.

Taking care of yourself is very important.

"Hmm, the latter is something of a personal connection, so it's hard to say. That's why I asked the boss about it in advance."

: Nah lol

: Her judgement is so fast

: You're so quick on your feet!

: Well, living with Sakutan means living with Sanka-sama too.

That's it.

"One requirement is that you're a fan of Prisma Ark. The CEO is also a VTuber fan and so she made a group herself. She wants to give our fans a chance. Also, as a fan, you should be able to draw the line in advance as to what is acceptable and what is not."

: Compliance is important

: Yes. It makes me happy when there are new fans.

: It's a good thing to have common interests with the live streamers.

“The second thing is to show a clear vision of what you want to achieve as a live streamer. Or to disclose the benefits for hiring you.”

It's something like "if u take this approach, I could make Prisma Ark shine even more."

: That's a classic.

: Ugh! The trauma of job hunting...!

: Self-promotion is a trauma-inducing machine.

: Huh? Was it that strict?

: To be honest, I feel like there are very few live streamers who have those features.

"It seems that the number of applications has increased several dozen times recently, so that might be the reason. But I wonder why it suddenly increased (playing dumb)."

: No matter how you look at it, it's your fault.

: I want to join Prisma Ark too.

: I'd have to be a TS first.

I also mentioned some of the other conditions that the president had mentioned.

"Well, that's about it. Even if you meet all the requirements, the outcome is largely down to luck, so even if you fail once, don't give up, just keep trying and failing. I'll be waiting. I hope we can perform on the same stage together someday. Anyway, let's move on to the next marshmallow."

《Declare the start of the duel, Ki〇o!!》

"Let the duel begins! Deja vu! Next!"

《It's my turn! I activate Brainwashing Brain from my hand! I'm going to brainwash Alpheria! Do an ASMR broadcast!》

"You really love brainwashing stuff, don't you?"

 : Too honest about desires

: But it’s great that you know the line.

: Brainwashing is definitely crossing the line.

: Honestly, do you love it?

: I also love ASMR. Is there a problem with that?

I moved closer to the camera and microphone and whispered

“I understand how you feel, so I don’t mind doing it, but… have you forgotten? I used to be a man, you know? It might distort your sexual preferences, you know?”

To finish it off, I let out a big sigh and it's done.

Even though I now identify more as a woman, I am still a man.

: Ah...Ah

: It gave me goosebumps.

: Your voice is too good

: It's impossible for a former man to be like this.

: Maybe that's why. This guy understands the strengths of TS.

: I'm a samurai who love the 'so you like that kind of thing. Should i do it for you?' Trope. And I just heard a sound that'd make me seriously fall in love.

: tskr

: I asked from the bottom of my heart, do the sleep-along stream please!

"Okay, next."

《What do you do on your days off?》

"Work!"

: Hin

: Oof……

: Guwah!

: Please stop...please stop...

: Working on a holiday... Oof.

"Even though I started it myself, there's just too much to do... Well, to change my mood, I often go for a walk and hum along to music. Of course, regular songs are good, but I also like to listen to some BGM while thinking of famous scenes from anime."

: I understand. I totally understand.

 : I replace the godly scenes with original characters and fantasize about them.

: Are you me?

: I like to cut out famous scenes and imagine original stories.

: I bet listeners here are fantasizing about fighting off terrorists in style during class.

 : Damn those guys...!

: So you actually do that (laughs)

"Next~"

《I'm not going to say the specific, but which is it, mushroom or bamboo shoot? Well, I won't say what i mean by that."

"I won't say the specific, but it's a bamboo shoot. Well, I won't really say what it is... I wonder what makes mushrooms different from Pocky other than their appearance."

: I won't tell you the specific, but it's definitely bamboo shoots.

 : I won't tell you the specific, but you asking for a fight?

: I won't tell you the specific, but I think it's against the rules to bring out Pocky!

: I won't tell you the specific, but I like you, Alpheria.

: I won't tell you the specific, but I want some naughty pictures. We're both guys, right?

: Just because you guys put 'I won't tell you the specific,' doesn't mean anything is allowed.

"Well, if I had to say, I'd eat both anyway. Next."

《What type of person would you date?》

"As I said before, I used to be a man. I don't have the option to date other men. But having that kind of relationship with a girl is also a no-no. If you want to conquer me, you'll need to change jobs to a hypnotizing uncle first. Next~"

 : Teetee is good, but Kimashi Tower is no good.

 : The hypnotic uncle has appeared again

 : What is with Alphery's deep trust in the hypnotizing uncle?

 : Well, even the goddess who bestowed her abilities has succumbed to them.

 : The hypnotic uncle is the strongest after all

《---I Cut a large monster in half with a single slash.

I'd heard they were a murderous species that passed judgment on foolish humanity, but is that all they are?

My name is Genesis Cosmo

I was an ordinary high school student, but one day, while trying to save a girl from a truck that ran a red light, he was hit by it and died.

And then I came face to face with god. It seems that I died due to a mistake, and as an apology, I was reincarnated into another world with cheat privileges.

The perks I got were "infinite magic power" and "ability to freely control all manga abilities." "The best talent in the universe" and "infinite money." I also got the nicopo and nadepo. (TL note : Nicopo and nadepo is a power to make someone fall in love with you with just a smile and a pet on the head)

When I heard about these special benefits, I scoffed at how stingy the god was, but it seems they were enough.

I never thought the humans in this world would be so weak...

"You……"

The girl looks up at me in shock.

Even though she was covered in wounds, it didn't take away from its beauty.

 - Valkyrie.

The savior of humanity who sing, dance, and fight.

Don't be ridiculous. How is this any different from a simple human sacrifice?

After I healed the girl's body, I embraced her delicate body as a sign of my appreciation.

"Fue?! Ah, um..."

Her face is red for some reason. Does she have a cold?

My healing magic should have been able to heal everything, but it seems I've been fooled.

When I obtain everything, I will kill that god as well.

"Enough."

"Eh?"

"You don't need to fight anymore."

 I said to the confused girl.

"But, I..."

"I will fight for you, for you guys. So you no longer need to sing or fight for anyone else. If you can't do that then――just sing for me."

That's right, there's no need for you to get hurt because of this kind of humanity.

You just have to love me.

"(Thump... it's the first time I've ever been told that. What is... this feeling...? I used to be a man... but... this...) Um, you are...?"

"My name is Genesis Cosmo. I'm just an ordinary high school student."

"Genesis, Cosmo..."

The girl repeats my name.

As if deeply, deeply immersed into herheart.

 I smiled.

"What's your name?"

"...Alpheria. Alpheria Linker!"

That was the encounter with the girl who would later become my wife.

Hypnotic Uncle: "Hello"

Alpheria: "Kyaaaaaa♡♡♡!!"

Genesis Cosmo: "W-Who are you--"

Hypnotic Uncle: "You should be a dog (woof woof woof)"

 Woof woof! Woof woof! Jobababa~!》

"That turn of events at the end. It was so over the top that I couldn't help but laugh."

Why am I screaming in excitement at the hypnotizing uncle who's impregnating me?

: I thought it was a bad SS!

: Damn, something like this… (laughs)

: Aaaaaaaaaaah! Flailing!

: Ah! Someone got their old wounds reopened!

: btw It's treated as a meme now, but it used to be a really popular piece of content.

: There are some older guys in this stream too.

: Woof woof! Woof woof!

We continued for another two hours and then decided it was a good time to call it a day.

“Yes, that concludes the marshmallow roasting and the end of today’s broadcast – BUT!”

: Oh?

: But?

: Don't tell me, you're gonna strip?

: if that's the case, it would be rude not to strip too.

“I’m not going to strip. This is just a little announcement – ​​or rather, a reveal. I mentioned this briefly before, but I was making a game based on my past life, right?”

: That's right, you did say that.

: Um, wasn't Alpheria's avatar modeled after her previous self?

: The setting is that a former man who was reincarnated as a TS in another world dies there and is reincarnated again in Japan.

: So, in order to leave a trace of his past life, he became Vtuber, modeled after his past life self.

: Yes. It's always complicated.

: There's a setting where she is reincarnated again in Japan?

"Don't call it a setting. It's all true."

 It's the undeniable truth.

"So, for now, the battle system is complete, so I thought I'd show you a promotional video."

: Ohhh

 : I'm sure Alphery will provide a reliable game.

: Ah, a gamer who is the legal wife of Bi**ka and Flo**ra and can talk passionately about war is trustworthy.

: I think it was an action RPG.

: Sometimes we get a glimpse of it during work streams, and the character modeling is seriously good.

: Because it's anime style, the graphics aren't that different from other games, but the characters are truly otherworldly.

: Isn't this a full dive game?

"It's a game where I relive my past life. A linear story like an RPG doesn't really suit a full-dive game. So, here we go."

I switched the screen and played the video I had saved.
