Lucy is changing today

 

After I started considering my relationship with Reina positively.

Reina’s approaches began to become bolder, regardless of time and place.

Even though it’s not very close to my house, Reina always came to my house every morning to wake me up with a morning kiss.

At school, she would offer her chest or lap as a pillow, earning envious glances from the male students in our class.

And in the CEO’s office at VT company..

“Girls… are you listening?”

Reina, who would normally listen to CEO Kim Yeji’s words with a respectful attitude.

“Hihi-Ara. Cookie aah─”

“No. The CEO is speaking. So, in moderation mmph-munch munch”

She was treating Yeji almost like an invisible person, focused on feeding me cookies placed on the table.

“Stop right thereee!!!”

As we weren’t listening to her, Yeji’s anger level exceeded the critical point and she started screaming.

“……”

“……”

Hearing such a scream, Reina and I froze in place, not even opening our mouths.

“Hoo-I don’t know why, but I can see your relationship has gotten better. I see that, but… we’re discussing business now. Could you tone it down a bit?”

Yeji’s appearance as she massaged her forehead with one hand and sighed.

“…Yes Reina. I told you to do it in moderation..”

“Hiing-“

Looking at Yeji, who had become quite gaunt lately, I said so to Reina.

“…Ara. You’re not blameless either, so close your mouth.”

…Why me? I wanted to ask, but feeling that if I did, Yeji might collapse while grabbing the back of her neck, I held back what I wanted to say and closed my mouth.

“…Ahem. Girls.”

“Y-“

Yeji, who sighed and referred to Reina and me, stopped us from answering and continued speaking.

“Ara was hopeless from the beginning… but Reina, what if you do that too…?”

“No-what do you mean I’m hopeless─”

I was upset by Yeji’s choice of words that defamed me, but I couldn’t move my mouth to speak under her cold gaze.

“These days, do you know what people are saying about our company?”

Reina and I shook our heads in response to Yeji’s question, answering that we didn’t know.

Yeji, as if she had expected that, started to list at length, without even breathing, what kind of curses VT was receiving from people.

This is the limitation of a new company.

It’s the company’s responsibility for not properly educating the kids.

If they’re going to broadcast as they please, they should be individual streamers, not corporate ones. If they’re corporate, manage the broadcasters’ schedules properly!

If you don’t want the front of your company to be turned into a pile of poop, make Lucy and Mika broadcast properly…

“What do you mean pile of poop-“

“…Eck. Disgusting”

The reactions of Reina and me, slightly disgusted by the last word, poop.

“…It’s all thanks to you two. Hahahahahahaha…….”

Was enough to make Yeji laugh dryly, though I don’t know what was funny.

After laughing continuously like a deranged clown, she ran out of breath, regulated her breathing, and looked at Reina and me seriously.

“You two”

“If you’re going to do it like this, let’s… yes, stop being VTubers.”

She recommended that Reina and I resign from Twins Tail.

“Ara and Reina, I understand how talented you both are. But you know─”

“A VTuber uses that talent to make people happy, not for your own amusement. Yes. I don’t think that’s right, you know?”

“So…”

“If you don’t have a serious intention to broadcast.”

“…Leave the company.”

Yeji’s gaunt appearance, looking like she might burst into tears at any moment.

“…Phew-I hope you’ll think carefully about what I said.”

With those final words, Yeji essentially expelled us, telling us to go home.

Since it was the first time seeing Yeji speak coldly to both of us, we couldn’t say anything until we left the CEO’s office.

The two of us who had left the company walked in silence.

Until we reached the bus stop, got on the bus, and returned home, our gazes had changed.

Like the eyes of idol trainees filled with determination.

Yeji’s emotional appeal had.

Successfully stimulated our competitive spirit.

[Lucy is changing today.]

─ Oh… What brings you here so early?

─ It’s 7 now, so she’ll leave at 8.

─ The broadcast title is… very much like the boy who cried wolf

─ If “changing” here means broadcasting for only 30 minutes, that’s not it, right? Right? You fucking bitch!

“Hello everyone! Twins Tail’s Lucy is here!!”

Unlike her usual greetings delivered in a dry tone, she greeted energetically for the first time during the broadcast

─ …Fuck, did you eat something wrong?

─ Lucy, this is disgusting..

─ If someone is behind you threatening you with a knife on your back making you greet like that, please take off your panties

─ What’s this. Did the sun not rise today?

Viewers began to show reactions as if they had seen something unbelievable.

“Oh sh-Yes. Since Lucy has decided to change from today, I’m going to try to have a serious attitude towards broadcasting and work hard from now on! Everyone! Cheer for NEW NEO Lucy! Got it?”

─ Did something really happen?

─ They say if a person changes in an instant, the day of death is coming… before you die, just tell us what panties you’re wearing today

─ NEW NEO Lucy, what the hell is this lolololol

─ You must be getting nervous because Sekai-dol’s 3rd gen is coming out soon, Lucy.

CatMom has donated 1000 won.

[Can you maintain that reaction even if you meet a support?]

“Yes. That’s not possible.”

But what does that have to do with broadcasting. Tsk.

─ Whew-fortunately nothing has changed, it seems

─ Why does our Lucy hate supports so much..

“What was my MOL rank again?”

─ GM 853

Hmm. 853… Since it’s Friday today, and I’ve decided to work hard on broadcasting… yes, let’s do that.

“Rank 1… yes, should I try to reach rank 1 without ending the broadcast?”

I thought this was a good enough content, so I told the viewers.

─ ..For real?

─ Don’t lie, you fucking bitch

─ Really lolol It’s not like we’ve been fooled once or twice, fuck, do you think we’re idiots

─ Really, Lucy. How should I study to lie without changing expressions like you?

─ First, live by lying to your parents every day

I was watching the chat window and couldn’t understand why my credibility had been eroded so much… but I judged that showing through actions was better than persuading with words.

─ Wow, how many days has it been since we’ve seen Lucy’s MOL

─ It’s exactly 58 hours since the dinner no-show and two days of broadcast abandonment, haha

I logged into MOL and queued for a game, waiting for more than 8 minutes while communicating with viewers.

And so

One game

[Victory!]

[+24]

One game

[Victory!]

[+27]

─ Keu… So impressive. For real

─ But why does she only play Mass Slaughter and Silence Knight?

─ Right? They’re not picks known for good performance

─ Whatever. The point is Lucy is winning now

The chat window, where viewers were getting vicarious satisfaction watching Lucy’s gameplay that couldn’t be experienced in other streamers’ MOL broadcasts, was getting increasingly heated.

“Whew-“

─ Fuck… The cursed one hour has appeared.

─ Lucy… or rather, NEW NEO Lucy… keep going. More!

─ I never knew sighing could be this anxiety-inducing..

─ You fucking bitch, if you say you’re ending here, I’ll really kill you, you bastard

However, when she finished the game and sighed at the results screen, the Lucy faction was trembling in fear.

The reason for that fear was.

[NEW NEO Lucy’s Rank 1 No End Broadcast][00:58:32]

The fact that Lucy’s broadcast time was approaching 1 hour.

─ Don’t fuck around, queue up quickly!

─ Viewers are gathering because of the title, if you turn this off, even we can’t hold them back, you bitch…

─ Please… let’s see the first female VTuber reach top-tier rank 1…

So, perhaps in response to their fearful chat reactions.

-Click

[Game Start]

Ara didn’t stop queuing for games.

─ …It’s a miracle

─ What really happened today??

─ No matter how much we cursed for her to broadcast properly, this girl who never listened;;

─ The fact is that we, watching Lucy’s broadcast, are becoming healthier.

The viewers, seeing Ara’s serious attitude towards broadcasting for the first time, were dubious, but this was not bad news for them, but good news.

─ Wow! Kill! Kill!

─ Fuck lolol TG 2nd team bug squashing

─ Breaking news) Top-tier MOL streamers are taking breaks~

─ So many cowards

Ara won her third match in a row.

Fifth match.

.

.

.

Seventh

.

.

.

After running through with consecutive wins without stopping until the final eleventh match.

The Grandmaster title Ara had been wearing shattered piece by piece.

[You have been promoted to Challenger.]

Along with the message that she had been promoted to Challenger, a first for VTubers.

NewNeoLucy has donated 10000 won…….

GutSpecialistLucy has donated 50000 won…….

LucysPanties has donated 20000 won…….

.

.

.

LucyHacker has donated 1000000 won.

[Congrats]

Ara was quietly listening to the unceasing donation TTS voices. And so, the donation alerts ended with LucyHacker.

“Hmmph-ha~”

Ara stretched her arms, yawned, and checked the viewer count.

[LIVE 9716]

The viewer count had increased about 3 times from 3200 viewers.

“…So─”

As Ara didn’t immediately queue for another game and paused before speaking.

─ Don’t fuck around. You said no end, you fucking bitch

─ Lucy… please don’t stir the water…

─ You don’t need to do an ending broadcast, just queue up quickly, you bitch!

─ If you end here, I’m really going to shit in front of the company.

Viewers’ aggressive chat messages lined up.

However, there was quite a difference in their reactions.

Instead of cursing Lucy for broadcasting for a short time

─ Queue up quickly…! You need to get to first place, right?

─ Why are you teasing us like this and leaving

─ I’ve only seen 2 matches so far!

They were crying out wanting to see more of her gameplay.

Perhaps because Ara empathized with such reactions.

“Hmm… I won’t turn it off… won’t, but.”

She prolonged her words, saying she wouldn’t end the broadcast.

─ Why is she dragging out her words so uneasily??

─ Is it just my feeling that I’m going to see a scene I’ve seen somewhere before?

─ Bullshit; just come here and─

“I’ll go eat some food and come back.”

Just as one viewer had predicted, she left the capsule to go eat.

However. The fortunate thing was

─ This time feels different from then, so let’s trust her

─ Can’t she bring the food and eat it here?

─ Ah lolol I really want to hit her hard on the forehead

─ Still, this girl has never failed to keep her word ㅇㅇ

The viewers started waiting with faith that it would be different from the day when she only played one game after eating dinner and then turned off the broadcast.

Keeping in their hearts the feeling that ‘NEW NEO Lucy has really changed.’
