Ch.54 Licia's First Stream
TL note : No, i didn't miss a chapter, the author did.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Finally, Licia's first stream was about to begin.
Kaguya-senpai and I are going to watch it from a window.
A large window at the front.
And a small window on hand to display the comments section.
: It's about time
: I can't wait
: I'm done waiting naked
: I'm pretty sure Alfery said that she's better at mechanical engineering as a whole than her.
: Can we expect something even crazier?
: No way. It's just a setup. If she does something crazy, I'll walk around the neighborhood naked.
Ah. (judging)
Still, what an amazing stream of comments.
The number of concurrent viewers has increased dramatically, and it has almost taken over the trend.
The expectations were probably higher than my first stream.
Well, I guess it makes sense considering the current trend.
I also actively promoted it.
It may sound like I'm bragging, but my influence is by far the greatest.
We're also getting a ton of projects.
And since this is the level it has reached before the stream has even begun, there's no doubt it will continue to grow.
This would be a situation that would scare a normal live streamer, but it should be no problem for Licia.
I'm sure it will be an astounding first stream.
As I gave my thumbs up mentally, the background music started playing.
Oh, this is...
""ーーー♪""
As me and Kaguya-senpai hummed at the same time, we chuckled together.
This may be the first time listeners have heard this background music, but it is something that is familiar to us - an instrumental version of one of Licia's solo songs.
As I was excitedly watching the waiting screen, the veil was finally lifted off the cover art―
"Alrighty, before Licia started introducing herself, let Licia get 10 champions first, okay?"
What is she saying???
The next thing to appear after the cover picture was a battle royale game, which is currently popular in the FPS community.
I don't play FPS games at all, but I've seen them quite a few times on streams and clips.
It's a game designed to be played casually.
And because of its nature of moving around the field, it is well suited for streaming, and I've seen a lot of VTubers playing it.
I think the key point is that it's fun just to look at.
The Vtuber Festival Competition Finals are super popular content.
I was also on the edge of my seat cheering for my favourite.
She failed though.
Well, it got a lot of attention and made me laugh a lot, so that's good.
: Ain't no way lol
: This is really funny
: Is there anyone who starts playing a game immediately on the first stream?
: There's one right here!
: Isn't it too bold to not even show a profile?
: Wait, what?!
: Huh? Are you kidding me?
: Predator Rank 1!?
Oh, that's true!
Even reaching Master in this game is quite an ordeal.
Ah, but it's Licia.
Come to think of it, in Blue Sphere she also swept the ranked battles of various games.
: What? Are you kidding me? Really?
: So she's the guy who was suspected of cheating.
: Don't worry, it seems like it was properly verified under the watch of various streamers.
: Whatever it is, if it's real, that's awesome.
When I randomly opened social media, I saw many streamers looking shocked.
Hmm, it's been a hot topic for a while now.
Wow, she's wiping them out here too.
No wonder it became a hot topic.
"The purple armor is a good start. Oh, I want that revolver. As expected, things are smoother at this rank, which is a relief."
She's quickly picking up items.
And she's already moving.
I'm the type of person who wants to explore every nook and cranny of a dungeon, so I can't just skip over item boxes like that.
And she's using keyboard and mouse!
Games are, supposed to be, played, with a controller! (Old man's opinion)
"She has good judgment, that Licia-chan."
"Yeah. I guess FPS games are best to be watched afterall."
It would be fun to be able to move around like that.
But isn't it a high hurdle to be able to do that?
The same is true for fighting games.
As expected, I prefer RPGs and adventure games afterall.
"Yes, headshot. Yes, headshot. Yes, headshot. One party has been annihilated. It's a million years too early to try to defeat Licia."
: Oh, wow.
: Revolver full headshot...
: Awesome!!!
: You're telling me THIS isn't cheating? No way!
: That's not something a human can do!
: My revolver never hits anything.
: The aura of a strong person is overflowing.
: If she keeps this up, she could seriously win the championship 10 times in a row!
: She has the guts to do this on her first stream!
: At least we can see that this girl is having a blast.
In the end, Licia showed off her rank 1 predator skills to the fullest.
She achieved the brilliant result of winning the championship 10 times in a row quite easily.
While the listeners are shocked, Licia exits the game and finally reveals her true form.
Sleepy silver eyes.
A young-looking girl with similarly curly silver hair in twin tails bowed deeply.
"So once again, Licia's name is Licia Metis. Licia was scouted by Prisma Ark and now is making a debut as a Vtuber."
She spoke in a flat voice, somewhat reminiscent of a cold doll.
Come to think of it, this is what Licia used to sound like.
She can speak normally now though.
: So cute!
: The live show was amazing!
: That's a really great strike!
: I love you even before the first sight!
: Sorry, Licia-chan is my wife.
: Ugh
: Huh? Are you a scout?
"Yes. Licia and her friend were transported to this world in pursuit of Ariー Alpheria, who had been reincarnated into this world."
She almost said something wrong.
Yeah, it's difficult. I know how you feel.
That's why I have no intention of asking my seniors' real names.
"So, the first thing that happened was that I hacked into the CEO's computer and smartphone in order to get in contact with Alpheria."
: Wait a minute
: I can't comprehend this information
: Something weird just came out
: It's a role play right?
: So please stop that.
"Alpheria was active as a Vtuber, so we were invited to become Vtubers as well. Even though we were in a hurry, Licia agrees that it was a bit excessive."
Futaba Sanka : "I don't think it's just a bit though..."
: Wow, the president is here.
: Huh? So that's true?
: No way!
"So, let Licia shows a profile like a proper Vtuber would do"
Saying this, Licia made a window appear in the air.
There,
Name: Licia Metis
Age: 14.
Hobbies: Shut up.
Special skills: I don't know.
Favorite food: I'm not interested
Point of interest: it's a pain.
Activities: Game streaming and work streaming.
Message to everyone: Nothing in particular.
What a guts to reuse this crazy profile from back in the days.
Even I can't do it.
: I don't understand!
: Shut up, I don't know anything about Final Fantasy
: I feel like I've seen this somewhere before, is that it?
: Is there anything else?
"I guess I have no choice. So, here's my introduction."
And a new window opened.
ー Licia Metis.
A Valkyrie from a unit called "Trinity" together with Alpheria and Kaguya.
She's strong in mechanical engineering and actively improves her own Devicer.
She's also good at information analysis and is the brains behind "Trinity".
She pursued Alpheria, who has been reincarnated on Earth, and she transported together with Kaguya to Earth at all cost.
She safely reunited with Alpheria and became a Vtuber just like her.
『Hmm. We talked about something like this before, but it's more or less like this.』
: She's the youngest looking, but she's the one in charge of the brains.
: I love intelligent lolis, and she's tickling my fancy.
: Is Licia-tan a loli...?
: It's somewhere between loli and shojo.
: That is the most delicious age to be in!!
: Oh no, a fiery creep is coming.
: But I understand your feelings. It's good... somewhere between loli and shojo.
: It's not realistic to have a loli meowing, but if it's somewhere in between, the relatability goes up a lot. The spice of a sense of immorality is the most effective.
: Who told you to explain in detail?
: Well, first of all, why don't you guys point out that there's a window floating around, you idiots.
: Now that I think about it, this is an AR stream.
: ……What?! Why is there a window even though it's an AR stream?!
To the confused listeners, Licia calmly explained about EVE.
Then she puffs out her chest in a smug manner.
"There seems to have been a lot of fuss about Alpheria's technology, but as you can see, Licia's is far superior. 70% of the Virtual Connect used in Futaba Ouka's concert was also done by Licia. What a weakling."
Umu.
At the time I casually thought that they'd just hired an incredibly talented programmer, but if it was Licia then everything makes sense.
It's frustrating, but I'm nowhere near as good as her in this field.
... Anyway, is she trying to pick a fight with me?
