I Was Heartbroken, So I Became A VTuber, But Then I Became Popular with the Older Ladies

in the day, Imananji only had an office in Tokyo, which meant most of the VTubers were from or had to travel to the Tokyo area, which caused a lot of problems with support and handling issues.

To overcome this situation, the agency decided to invest in opening district offices in major cities nationwide.
As a result, VTubers from all over Japan started to gather and entertain with interesting live streams, and Imananji’s name spread throughout the country, sparking a movement.
That’s why VTubers are still popular today.

And I, a rural person, got a chance thanks to that.

Perhaps because of the company’s established reputation, I became a well-known VTuber.
How?
Personally, I think I’m pretty good at games; my character design and 3D modeling are all top-notch, to the point where I feel like I don’t belong in this girl’s body.

However, if there’s one thing, it’s that I created my character for popularity.
Recently, I even surprise myself by being able to act in character without thinking.
I act like a natural, air-headed girl by extending my sentences and the like.
Somehow, people accept me for it, and that’s one of the reasons behind my popularity.

Still, I have one unique characteristic—I love lolis and shotas.
Whenever a cute character appears in a game, my excitement goes through the roof.
Apparently, that’s one of the reasons why people like me, according to my manager and colleagues.

I usually play games I like or host zatsudan streams.
You can say it’s more than just a pastime now.
It pays the bills and allows me to live a more comfortable life than most, which is something I’m grateful for.

Yesterday, I helped an androgynous person from tripping.

Turns out, they had a charming face and voice, even though they leaned more toward the boyish side.
I felt thrilled when I hugged them lightly with my arms.
I want to do it again.
But if I tell this to people, they would probably think it’s weird.

What’s even more surprising is that they happen to be an indie VTuber.
Not to mention, their favorite VTuber is me.
Today, I came early to the agency to make my collab with them official.

When I arrived at the office, I talked to my manager.

“Good morning, manager.”
“Oh, hello, Utsurogi-san.
You’re early today.”

“I wanted to talk to you about something…”
“Is it about yesterday’s live stream?”

“Yes, if the person agrees, would it be okay to collaborate with them?”
“I don’t mind.”
Well, that was quick.

“Are you sure?”
“You’ve been working hard for the agency, so the higher-ups told me to give you some freedom,” replies the manager, adding that restricting their talents too much will take away their strengths.

“I see, I can collab with them…Yes!”
Looking at me, who unintentionally made a fist-pumping gesture, the manager smiles.
“You’ve been listening to our requests for so long, so it’s about time we give you some leeway.
But if you do an offline collaboration, make sure to do it at our designated karaoke place since we have the rights to it.
Okay?”

“Really?! My potential collab partner seems to care about that, so I appreciate it.”
“In return, make sure to tag us properly in your collaboration partner’s live stream, okay? It’s important!”

“Got it!”
“Okay, then let’s go over the plans we discussed earlier…”

I’m going to work hard so I can collab with that person.
There are other pressing matters, but that kid is important to me right now.

Hehehe… I’m looking forward to finding out whether they’re a legal loli or shota…

—Kaoru Yusa (Yuru Kakizaki)’s POV—

“What should I do…”
I’m struggling with something right now.

“Still at it, onee-chan?”
“Yeah, I was trying to come up with a costume for Yuka-chan and ended up with so many ideas…”

“Well, narrowing it down to just one is tough.”
“Ughhh, I can’t decide…”

“Onee-chan, I came up with a design too…what do you think?”
“Ahhhhhhhh! This would also look amazing on her!!!”
“Right?!?!?! I knew you’d get it, onee-chan!!!”

One hour later…

“Onee-chan, we’ve managed to narrow it down to three, but…”
“I can’t handle trying to narrow it down any further…”
I mutter in a voice on the verge of tears.

But then I see a glimmer of hope.
“Ah!”
“What’s up, onee-chan?”

“Yura, you know how Comiket lasts for three days, right?”
“Uh, onee-chan?
You can’t expect him to cosplay for three days in a row, can you?”
She has a point.
I know that, but…

“Our booth is only on the first day.”
“That’s true.”

“So, if we run the booth for three days, it’ll be fine, right?!”
“You’re beyond hope sometimes, seriously!!!”

Just to be safe, I asked him, and he was okay with it.
He himself seems to be pretty interested in cosplay.
Is Yuki-kun some kind of angel or something?
