Chapter 36 : Meeting

It’s 10 AM.

Hearing that the boss had arrived, I quickly finished preparing and went down to the underground parking lot.

“Nammi-ya!”

“Ah, Boss. Hello.”

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes. I slept incredibly soundly.”

In terms of time, it would be 24 hours.

Would it be like that?

Excluding meal times, it felt like I had been sleeping all day.

It would be strange if I didn’t feel refreshed.

“Okay, get in quickly. I have a lot to talk about.”

“Yes.”

And so, I took the front seat.

Vroom~ The car set off with Nammi on board.

The boss said while driving.

“Wow… how did such a treasure trove come to us? You were really amazing, Nammi-ya. It almost brought tears to my eyes, you know? It felt

like our country had won a competition? My patriotism was overflowing.”

“Hehe.”

At that praise, Nammi smiled without realizing it.

No matter when she heard it, praise always made Nammi feel good.

Nammi herself thought she was amazing.

“So, I have something to ask you, Nammi-ya.”

“…Yes?”

The boss’s voice changed so suddenly.

Her voice was serious, as if she was about to ask something important.

The boss asked.

“Do you… want to keep being a VTuber?”

“Well… no matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but wonder if I’m blocking your path.”

Nammi scored 5000 points in front of everyone.

She even picked off the pros who were swarming in.

At least now, Nammi’s skills should no longer be seen as those of an ordinary person.

The stage she should be on is not individual broadcasting, she thought.

That’s why Jane is here again.

“If you want to do something else, I’ll let you go comfortably. But if you want to keep being a VTuber, I’ll take responsibility for you until the end.”

Nammi blinked her eyes at that.

She thought the boss would just be in a good mood, but she didn’t realize she would be thinking so deeply.

But even this must be consideration.

That’s why Nammi could say definitively.

“I like things better as they are now.”

“Really?”

At that, Cho-ha’s lips turned up into a smile.

She was so happy.

She was so grateful that Nammi would stay with her until the end.

Boss Cho-ha continued.

“Let’s adjust the revenue sharing ratio.”

“Yes? S, suddenly?”

“There’s a valid reason. Firstly, this is all we can do for you?”

Considering Nanmi’s current recognition, it could be said that she has become a legend in the Time Click world.

The user that comes to mind when you think of Time Click, the Charging Knight Nanmi.

As an industry that lives off popularity, considering the current situation, it can be said that Nanmi is not being helped by us, but rather

Nanmi is increasing the recognition of our Blue Art.

That’s exactly how the results have turned out.

The number of subscribers to not only herself, but also Inaring and Karin, has increased overnight.

Inaring and Karin now have a number of subscribers and viewers that would make them worthy of being called major corporations.

Nanmi’s influence probably played the biggest role.

Cho-ha continued.

“All our company, or rather, all I could do for the VTubers under my agency was to provide support and advertising…”

Cho-ha is an individual VTuber with 7 years of broadcasting experience.

Therefore, all she could do was to ask people to watch the VTubers who debuted under the company she founded.

But they grew so quickly on their own, so there’s not much she can do.

“This is the only way I can think of to catch a big fish in this company with only one employee?”

In the first place, she didn’t start the company to make money.

Cho-ha had a dream, which was to enjoy fun content with the countless VTubers in the company she founded.

It could be said that she started the company to pursue romance.

The revenue sharing ratio is usually 9:1.

9 goes to the affiliated VTuber and 1 goes to the company.

This is even considered a fee for creating content.

But here she is saying that she wants to adjust the revenue sharing ratio?

If it goes any higher, it means she won’t get paid in the end.

That’s why Nammi said firmly.

“No way.”

“Huh?”

“I’d rather just leave the revenue sharing ratio as it is.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Well, Nammi also has a romance…

“I’d rather use this money to make Inaring costumes and various content.”

It’s not that, but it can be said that it’s full of ulterior motives.

You can’t enjoy fun content with Inaring unless you make money.

Of course, there are other reasons besides this.

“And I don’t want to burden you, Boss.”

I don’t know how VTuber companies work, but somehow I feel like the boss is the type to solve everything with her own money.

Above all, Nammi herself has no desire for money.

It’s enough for her to be able to brag to her parents.

And Cho-ha, who had heard all those words, was silent for a moment.

She just had a happy smile on her face.

Cho-ha opened her mouth as if she had made a decision.

“Okay, good.”

“…?”

“Since our Nammi wants it that way, I’ll have to spend it on something really good.”

I don’t know how much she’ll receive, but she’ll spend it all on content costs at least.

As the boss who received the giant Nammi, she decided to take responsibility until the end.

---

In fact, there’s really no need to come all the way to the company for a meeting.

You can just have a meeting using Discord, and that’s how they usually had meetings when Nanmi wasn’t around.

The reason they decided to meet at the company was because of Nammi.

She just wanted to see this cute face over and over again.

“Oh, you’re so cute, our youngest.”

Nammi was just sitting on Inahee’s lap, being showered with cuteness.

“Hey! Don’t you dare touch her precious body! Get off immediately, Inaring!”

“Why? Are you jealous? Aren’t you jealous? Don’t you want to touch Nanmi’s cheeks too?”

“Hey! Nanmi is also an adult! If you keep doing that, it’s rude…”

Karin looked at Nammi.

But Nammi’s face was just smiling brightly while her cheeks were being harassed.

Who wouldn’t like it when their favorite Oshi likes them so much?

So Karin naturally reached out to Nammi’s cheeks.

“Wow… they’re so soft and chewy. They’re like mochi.”

“Right? Oh! I really want to bite them. How could someone like this be that nasty sniper?”

At that, Nammi flashed.

Suddenly, it came to her mind.

Ah, that’s right, she thought.

Nammi naturally grabbed her smartphone.

She immediately opened the photo gallery on her smartphone and pretended to look at a few photos-

“Oops.”

Nammi dropped it on the desk very unnaturally.

Inaring’s gaze turned to Nammi’s smartphone.

“Huh? What’s this?”

“Ah, I accidentally showed it to you. The title that only one person in the world can have. Time Click’s [The One].”

Inaring tilted her head.

There was definitely a shining title next to the Charging Knight nickname on the smartphone.

It’s an Easter egg and nothing is known about it, so other users would think, ‘What’s this?’ even if they saw it.

Nammi was slightly embarrassed.

‘This is really amazing,’ she thought, and continued to stutter.

“O, only the first u, user to reach 5000 points can receive this title, and I accidentally showed you the title that only one person in the world can have? Oh, what should I do? I didn’t want to show it to you originally.”

“What!? Really!?”

Only then did Inaring open her eyes wide as if she was really surprised.

Karin was the same.

“Wow! That’s amazing, Nanmi.”

“Wow… as expected of our youngest. You’re really amazing~ amazing~”

“Hehe.”

Have they finally realized the greatness of this title?

Inahee was stroking her head as if she had done a great job.

Of course, unlike what Nammi thought, Inahee was just greatly surprised and showering her with affection because she thought Nammi was being cute by showing off.

Nammi said with a bright smile.

“If I snipe Inaring with this title, your popularity will skyrocket.”

“…Huh?”

I think I just misheard something?

Bang-

And then, right on timing, Boss Cho-ha and the manager came in.

“Okay, okay, shall we start the meeting?”

“Huh? Was it really a meeting? Didn’t we just gather to celebrate Nammi?”

“I thought we were having a company dinner.”

“That’s also true, but I called you guys together because there’s something we really need to discuss.”

And so, the boss and the manager took their seats.

The boss put her hands together and rested her chin on them, as if she was about to say something very important.

“From now on, our Blue Art is.”

“Recruiting 2nd generation members.”

At that, the eyes of the three 1st generation members widened.

“Wow! Really!”

“Oh, we’re finally getting juniors.”

“Wow…”

“Well, I said that, but their debut will be a long time from now. We’ll just pick the members first and their debut will be two months later?

That’s what I’m thinking. We’ll be picking a total of 4 members. Just keep that in mind, and shall we get to the main topic now?”

“Huh? Wasn’t this the main topic?”

“Nope. The main topic is-“

Once again, a serious face.

Cho-ha continued.

“Inaring and Karin’s original songs, which they’ve been forgetting they’re idols for, have been completed.”

“Oh! Really?”

“Ah, you mean that thing from back then?”

Nammi tilted her head.

She was the only one who didn’t know what they were talking about.

Inahee kindly explained to her.

“We commissioned original songs before you came, Nammi.”

“Ah, I see…”

“It seems like it was completed today.”

“Oh. So, can I listen to Inaring’s original song?”

“I’m curious too, can we listen to it now, Boss?”

“Let’s listen to it together later. More than that, I’m also thinking of making an original song for Nammi…”

And so, Cho-ha looked at Nammi and was lost in thought.

Our Nammi.

I wonder if she’s good at singing too?

“Hey, Nammi. Have you ever sung a song before?”

“Uh… no.”

“Re, really? Not even once?”

“Um… I’ve never even been to a karaoke.”

“Really? Hmm…”

Cho-ha was lost in thought for a moment.

After that, Cho-ha opened her mouth.

“Then let’s check it out. Let’s practice as if it’s a special training. Are you free next week?”

“Ne, next week, you say?”

At that, Nammi remembered something she had scheduled for next week.

Nammi said.

“I have to go to Volboard next week.”

“Huh? Why Volboard?”

“Well… they gave me a request to dub a hero.”

At that, Cho-ha’s eyes widened.

It wasn’t just Cho-ha.

Everyone who had gathered here, including Inaring, Karin, and the manager.

Everyone opened their mouths and widened their eyes.

Cho-ha asked in a trembling voice.

“Re, really?”

“Yes.”

At that, Inaring shouted loudly.

“No way, you were hiding such an important fact!?”
