Chapter 43 : Wow, really a Knight of the Round Table?

‘M-my energy is being drained·····.’

I’m grateful for the interest, but too much attention is overwhelming.

Especially when there are about 10 people, that says it all.

But perhaps thanks to streaming, my speaking skills have improved a bit.

Of course, I’ve only streamed for 3 days, but compared to before, it can be seen as an improvement.

Thus, I calmly answered their questions one by one.

After all, it would be rude to seem tired when they are enjoying it so much.

But then!

Nana-nim came to my rescue.

“Wait, wait! Senpai! Everyone! No more questions! I’m going to use this for my stream content!”

“Eh~ It’s just us anyway?”

“Ah, yaba. I had my stream on. Ahahahahaht!”

“Y-Yuki-senpai?”

“Senpai?”

“Sorry! But it looked too fun. Still, I didn’t ask any important questions, right?”

“····It’s safe, right?”

“Alright then, everyone. I’ll be going first~ It seems like no more content should be revealed, so Nanmi-san, bye-bye.”

“Bye-bye.”

After Yuki, the most senior and 1st generation member, left.

“Ah, then shall we go too?”

“Yeah, staying longer would be rude, right?”

“Nanmi-san! I’ll definitely watch your streams!”

“Th-thank you.”

One by one, they left the channel, perhaps to be considerate of us.

After all, we entered this channel to discuss how to proceed with the streaming plan.

“Everyone is very kind.”

“Yes! Everyone is super kind!”

Maybe the idol group CEO Cho-ha dreams of is something like this?

“By the way, are you thinking of Q&A for the content?”

“Yes! I plan on taking viewer questions first. Would that be okay?”

“Yes. That’s fine with me.”

Thus, Nana-nim and I started planning in earnest.

How to proceed with the stream, whose stream it would be on, and when the collab would take place.

And the decided collab date was.

“I don’t have time next week, but I’m free anytime this week.”

“Oh? Anytime? Then is tomorrow possible?”

“Yes.”

“Wow! Then let’s do it tomorrow, Nanmi-san!”

“Okay. Got it. See you tomorrow then.”

“Yes~!”

Tomorrow at 8 PM.

Since it was simple content, the stream date was decided quickly.

---

After finishing the conversation, I was checking my emails again.

Because besides Nana-nim’s email, there were many other eye-catching emails.

For example, emails from pro teams.

‘Wow·····, these are all names I know.’

I actually expected it somewhat.

After causing such a stir, I wondered if offers would come from pro teams.

‘Hmm·····.’

First off, I don’t plan on going pro right now, and I mentioned it during the clarification stream, but it’s right to reply to each one, isn’t it?

The pro teams that sent offers were Pandemic, Heaviz, Millennium, Maidens, wait? Isn’t this an overseas pro team?

Javid, an American pro team, also contacted me.

I didn’t expect them to offer this much, but I still have to refuse properly.

After sending replies to each one, I sent a text to the CEO.

[Nanmi: CEO-nim]

[Choha: ?]

[Nanmi: The collab date is decided. It’s this Saturday.]

[Choha: Really? Okay~ Have fun, and you haven’t forgotten next week’s appointment, right?]

[Nanmi: Yes]

There was indeed a lot to do next week.

Visiting Volboard for a dubbing test and practicing singing with the CEO.

[Choha: Our Nanmi is quite busy, huh? Still, you need to manage your condition. Okay?]

[Nanmi: Yes]

However, it’s not a bad kind of busy.

I didn’t want to miss this opportunity either and was full of motivation.

---

The next day, early morning.

I posted a stream announcement.

[Subject: It’s Nanmi]

There will be a collab today!

Everyone, please come to Nana-nim’s channel at 8 PM!

[Comments]

-For real?

-Is it really true?

-Lololol collaborating with a HaraLive member, isn’t she the first among Korean VTubers?

-How many times are you going to make us feel national pride, damn it!

-The first female player suspected of hacking by Volboard, the first 5000-point achiever, the first woman to collab with a HaraLive VTuber!

-Damn it! The dopamine won’t stop!

Checking the boisterous comments, I watched Nana-nim’s past streams again after a long time.

It feels like it’s been a really long time since then.

Back when Inaring didn’t exist, I mostly enjoyed watching the streams of HaraLive VTubers.

Since a very long time ago.

A fond expression appeared on my face unknowingly.

‘Is it that feeling of achieving a wish?’

As a fan, I became famous to get closer to my oshi.

Inaring was the first, and next is Nana-nim.

Lately, life truly felt worth living.

Watching the recordings and making Nana-nim clips again after a long time, time passed, and it was suddenly 7:50 PM.

I uploaded the Nana-nim clip to the Bbyongbbyongnaring channel and then prepared for the collab.

When I entered the official HaraLive Discord channel, Nana-nim was already waiting in the channel.

I immediately sent a chat to Nana-nim.

[Nanmi]: Nana-nim, I’m here.

[3rd Gen Hanami Nana]: Ah! Nanmi-san! Welcome! I’m in the middle of the opening, so could you come in when I call you?

[Nanmi]: Yes

It seemed like she planned to make a surprise appearance, like other guest invitations.

But what should I do?

Since I already posted the announcement, my viewers probably already know?

Still, Nana-nim’s viewers probably don’t know.

I immediately entered Nana-nim’s stream.

“Kon Nana~! Nice to see you all!”

-Your tension is high today?

-Who’s the guest?

“Alright everyone! Today I brought someone truly amazing! Honestly, I wasn’t sure if she’d even accept the request? Should I say I’m very

sorry she came? I brought someone extremely precious! Today’s guest is, drumroll please!”

Ah, it seemed like I should enter now.

Ding-

Entering right on cue, Nana-nim introduced me with a high-tension voice.

“The first-ever 5000-point achiever in Time Click! The super rookie Korean VTuber who defeated all the pros and was even suspected of

hacking by Volboard! It’s Nanmi-san!”

“Hajimemashite, Nanmi desu.”

“Waaah! Nanmi-san! Thank you so much for coming to my stream!”

“Me too, I never thought Nana-nim would invite me to her stream.”

-Nanmi? Charging Knight?

-Is it really Nanmi-nim?

-Hontoni?

“Is it true? Is it really Nanmi-san? Honestly, I was quite worried. Aside from whether she would accept the offer or not, there were many

things to consider. But incredibly! Our Nanmi-san could speak Japanese? That’s why we could schedule the collab quickly too.”

“Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Nana-san. And you can call me comfortably.”

“Oh? Really? Then I’ll call you Nanmi-chan! Nanmi-chan, you can call me comfortably too.”

“Yes. Nana-chan.”

“Kyaaaak! Her voice is kawaii! Actually, the moment I heard Nanmi-chan’s voice, it was just too cute!”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes! Should I say it feels unique yet charming? An unrealistic voice? Like an anime character’s voice!”

Is that so?

Since it’s my own voice, I wasn’t aware, but is that how others hear it?

“Plus, she’s amazing at games, and honestly, that’s where she becomes even more charming, right? Because I love Time Click a lot too.”

“Hehe, honestly, should I say thank you for giving me this much attention. I wasn’t going to mention this, but when I reached 5000 points,

Volboard gave me a title.”

“Right! Right! It’s a title called [The One]! The only title in the world!”

[Nanaru]

¥ 10,000

[I wondered what the [The One] title next to Charging Knight-nim’s nickname was, so that’s what it was?]

“Ah, this is quite embarrassing.”

[NanmiDaeeop]

¥ 1,000

[Nanmi pretending not to brag is cute!]

“Hm? Seems like a Korean viewer? Could you possibly interpret what it means? Nanmi-chan?”

“Uh, um·····. It’s something that’s hard for me to say myself. You don’t need to worry about it.”

-Wow, there are a lot of Koreans?

-Must be Nanmi-nim’s viewers

“Alright, anyway, we’ve invited Nanmi-nim like this. I figured everyone would have many questions about Nanmi-nim, so I prepared this

content! It’s the question content!”

“Waaah~”

“Okay, then. First, I plan to take a few questions. Everyone, please post them on Strochat!”

Oh, I can’t believe I’m receiving Strochats in my life.

Strochat is an anonymous messaging service often used by Japanese BJs.

Should I say it’s a message delivered to the VTuber themself when a question is asked?

It’s a service often used by VTubers mainly for chatting, but I never thought I’d get to receive one.

“Alright, first question. [Does Nanmi-nim have any plans to debut as a pro?] is the question. What do you think, Nanmi-chan?”

“Hmm·····, actually, after hitting 5000 points, I received offers from several teams, but I refused them all. Should I say I don’t have plans

right now? I can’t know the future, but if I were to go pro, I might not be able to enjoy the game as a game anymore.”

“Ah, I see! Certainly, if you become a pro, you have to think seriously about the game. Alright, then let’s move on to the next question. Okay,

the next question is?”

[Did you know you ranked #1 in world trends?]

“World trend #1?”

“Ah! I think it’s about when you hit 5000 points! Because back then, it was #1 in world trends on SNS?”

“Oh, really? I had no idea. Maybe because I slept all day after hitting 5000 points, I didn’t know.”

“I see, it was a huge deal back then. Okay, then next question.”

[What did it feel like when you hit 5000 points?]

Hmm·····, when I hit 5000 points·····.

How should I describe that?

“It was a feeling that can’t be described with words. The feeling when you achieve something after squeezing everything out is indescribable.

It’s also a feeling I want to experience again. Perhaps Olympic gold medalists felt this way?”

“Ah! Hearing you say it like that, I think I get it!”

“Yes. Anyway, it really felt like I could fly.”

“Wow·····, honestly, I think I’m feeling that kind of emotion right now. Should I say I’m so happy collaborating with Nanmi-chan?”

“Hehe, thank you.”

“Alright, then let’s continue the momentum with the next question!”

[Do you have a favorite oshi among the HaraLive members?]

At that, I cleared my throat, ehem!

Nana-chan sneakily glanced at me, giving hints.

“Hmm·····, a favorite oshi. Honestly, my oshi changes every year.”

“Hm? Every year?”

“Yes. Still, if you have multiple oshis, you can’t really call them an oshi, right? So, if I had to pick just one, it would be·····.”

I felt sorry for Nana, who was looking at me with expecting eyes.

Certainly, Nana was one of my oshis, but if I had to pick only one, it could only be her.

The very person who drew me into the VTuber world.

“Asada Sona-nim.”

HaraLive 0th generation.

The first VTuber under HaraLive.

And the person called the very first VTuber.

“Ah, if it’s Sona-senpai, I approve.”

-Right

-Nana’s senpai’s senpai’s senpai’s great-senpai is approved

“Hehe, Sona-nim is the one who brought me into the VTuber world. When I saw Sona-nim’s first broadcast, I instantly became a fan.”

“I see, you watched since Sona-senpai’s first broadcast·····huh?”

It was then.

They discovered something unusual in Nanmi’s recent statement.

“You watched since Sona-senpai’s first broadcast?”

“Yes.”

At Nanmi’s answer, Nana’s mouth gradually began to open.

Nana gasped in surprise and shouted.

“Knight of the Round Table!”
