"Hi everyone~!" Azura waved at the camera and winked. "Did you miss me?"
[azufan101] Yes!
[bluelagoon] Azu-chan is back!
[hitme_mama] Welcome home!
Azura giggled and then leaned back in her chair. After fixing up her loose white blouse, she smiled and said, "I hope you weren't too lonely~. School is pretty rough, you know? But we can get through it!"
[ota-kyun] Azu-chan~!
[salaryguy] Wait. She's a high schooler?
[aqua_tan] T_T Azu-chan's lovely voice is all I need!
Azura held up her arms to stretch, causing a deep valley to show beneath her blouse.
[gentlemaaan] OOOOHHHH
[lewddood] There's the casual fanservice!
[american_pie - 100 USD] Thank god YouTube has autotranslate captions now. Love you, Azu-chan!
"Ah!" Azura smiled and said, "Thank you for the super~!" She winked and then blew a kiss. "Hope this is worth it! Now, work hard, okay? I only want SuperChats if you can afford them. Don't make me feel like I'm taking advantage of you." She lowered her gaze and poked her fingers together. "That would make me sad..."
[brokedonkey] Got it! I'll take a finance course to get my stuff in order!
[gambleraddict] So you're saying we need to be rich. Bet.
[gacha4life] Disposable income, here I come!
Azura winked and then stuck out her tongue. After that, she leaned back and said, "Now, what should we do today, guys?"
[degeneratequeen] Doujin reviews!
[your_grassyD] Karaoke!
[lonely_monke] Dating advice!
Azura glanced at the chat and then giggled. "You want to ask *me* for dating advice? My guy, if I knew how to get dates, don't you think I'd have a different job than being a YouTuber?"
[regular_here] That's what an AV idol *would* say!
[majikyun] But Azu-chan would definitely rake in the millions in a hostess club?
[goetia_caster] Lies! All lies!
Azura smiled and said, "Well, if that's what you all think. But... hm." She placed a finger on her chin and said, "We can do doujin reviews when I get membership. I think YouTube-kun is a bit too innocent to let us do it in public with people watching. But maybe in private~"
[kinks4us] :nosebleed:
[hngh_guy] :sparkleeyes:
[moist_enjoyer] Yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about!
"Karaoke... Mm, that's fun. But I already have a few music videos coming out later." Azura sighed and then leaned forward, propping her head up on her hands. "I guess it really has to be dating advice, huh?"
[orange_kun] Seriously?
[trashtaste] :popcorn:
[desperado] How do we get someone's number?
Azura leaned back and tapped her chin. "Well... First of all, I guess it would be good to have money? I mean, even I wouldn't date someone without money and I have pretty low standards."
[baldeagle - 100 USD] Like this?
[maplebacon - 100 CAD] Understood.
[kudzu_san - 10K yen] Yes, Azu-chan!
"Hey now." Azura put on a fake pout and said, "There's no point flexing on me, you know? First of all, I'm taken. Second of all, I'm just going to laugh at how broke you are. And third of all... E-girls aren't real. Go flex that money on a real girl who you can cuddle with at night."
[azufan1] :O Azu-chan's taken?!
[yanyan] Who's the guy?!
[lunar_pendragon] Kill the competition! Let's murder him!
Azura blinked and then burst out laughing. After calming down, she said, "What makes you think it's a guy?"
The chat froze.
And then a blur of chats and colors filled the screen.
Azura let out a sly smile and said, "Well, well. It seems you're excited about my love life, hm? Too bad~ It's a secret."
[british_pounder - 100 EUR] Even if we pay money?
[gossipgirl - 50 USD] Spill the details, girl!
[henta_kyun - 20K yen] Investing for the future doujins
Azura's smile widened as she read the chat and then she let out a fake exasperated sigh. "You need to chill. Girls don't like that much pressure, you know? Creeps."
[muchogusto] C-Creeps?
[nephew_stephen] :heartbroken:
[lewddood] Mm, yes. Scold me more, Azu-chan.
Azura glanced at that last message and then said, "Ah. Right. I charge for those... Well, if you want me to scold you more, you should-"
[kinks4us - 100 USD]
[mapleD - 100 EUR]
[bakaKay - 20K yen]
Azura blinked and then furrowed her brow. After that, she straightened and crossed her arms beneath her chest. Giving the screen a blank stare, she said "Are you all stupid? Did you steal your mom's credit card? Idiot. Dumbass. Pervert. Creep."
[kinks4us] Worth it
[mapleD] Nn~
[lewddood] Yes, mama
Azura rolled her eyes and smiled. "Seriously though, don't give me money if you need it, alright? I'm not a scammer. It's also bad PR, and I don't want to deal with all of that."
[happyfox] lmao
[residentarchivist] Worried about optics first.
[uglyscowl] I think the concerns are a bit mixed up here...
"Well of course." Azura lifted up her hand and looked at her fingernails. "You guys are a big part of my income, but views make me money too. I don't want to get cancelled and have to open an OnlyFans or something."
[say_soIdol] O.o
[secretive_plotter] Ooooh.
[eagerbeaver] So you're saying that if you get cancelled, we can get 'exclusive content?'
Azura stuck out her tongue and said, "Just kidding~ Or am I?" She giggled and then said, "But anyway... Dating advice. Hm." She frowned and tapped on her chin. "That's kind of hard. Especially if you're older. Salarymen have it pretty rough. Working long hours makes you fat and out of shape. Even if you were smoking hot in high school and college, you get that Dad bod... and girls don't like that."
[daddy_largo] L-Lies! They definitely like the dad bod! T_T
[thin_mint] Fack. So I gotta work out?
[richbeach] But money solves everything, right? Right?!
Azura read the last chat and rolled her eyes. "Well, yeah. If you don't mind having a gold digger. Those girls are pretty shameless, you know?"
[oilbaron101] Faaaacts. So many girls chasing clout these days.
[sugar_daddy] I mean, if she sticks around...?
[lenyaD] Shameless like you?
"You calling me a gold digger?" Azura let out a disappointed sigh. "I expected better of you guys. I'm not a gold digger. I'm just... very grateful for donations." She winked.
[simp4life - 100 USD] Take it! Take my money!
[kenta_kun] You know, isn't it weird how many American bros we have here?
[naruhodo] Careful, Azu-chan! An American Oji-san might come and try to snatch you up!
Azura laughed. Shaking her head, she reached over to the side and pulled out a water bottle. After taking a sip, she shook her head again and said, "Don't bash on the American Oji-sans too much. They just need a little inspiration to relax after hard days at work. Ah." She glanced at the chat and hummed. "Well... Since there was an akasupa, I guess I can do something cute to cheer you up. Ahem."
The lights in Azura's room dimmed. As they did, she leaned forward, showing a bit of the gap in her blouse. After that, she smiled and looked up with half-lidded eyes. "Good work today. Now... to relax, do you want a drink? A bath? Or...?" She trailed off with a giggle, but licked her lips.
[standing_here] UWOOOOOOOOO
[Airi] AMERICAN BROS ARE THE BEST
[alize] YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHH!
-VI|IV-
'You have no shame now, huh?'
I waved at the camera and shut down the stream. After making sure it was all done, I shuddered and then said, "Shut up. Money is money."
'You don't have to lie to me, Sennie~! I know you like it~'
I ignored Cici and then checked my phone.
It was 4 o'clock now. Two hours since I got out of school.
I could finish my homework whenever, so that wasn't important. But now...
A knock echoed, and then Celes's voice called out. "Are you finished, Sen?"
I stood up and stretched. "Yeah. Did you want to stream, Celes?"
The door opened and Celes walked in, carrying two cups of tea. She smiled at me and said, "Did you have fun letting off some steam?"
I took the cup of tea and sighed. "It's... complicated."
On the one hand, trolling everyone because I was really a guy playing a female avatar was hilarious.
On the other hand... the audience I had seemed made up of people who were the sort to say 'a guy is fine too.'
'You know what they say~ The audience reflects the streamer.'
I sighed and sipped on my tea.
Celes sat on my bed and then looked at my computer, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Hm?" I looked at her and said, "Did you want to stream too?"
"May I?"
"Of course you can." I stood up and waved her over. "Just... people are weird. Try not to think too hard about the chat."
Celes smiled and said, "No worries, Sen. I have seen the rampant degeneracy in your chat already, so I am prepared."
"..."
Celes tilted her head. "What?"
I sighed. "Nothing. But you know how to set things up?"
Celes nodded. "I remember. And the 'VTuber Basics' book you gave me is a good reference."
Oh yeah. I had a few of those gacha items still lying around, right?
'More than a few! And we can get more to if-'
No. You cannot spin the gacha.
'Awww. Why not?'
Because knowing you, it'll somehow turn into you getting a physical form, ending up as a beautiful young teen and then doing this and that to my body when you show up.
'Tch.'
I ignored Cici and then looked at Celes. "Have fun. Don't let chat push you around, and I'll be back later."
"Hm?" Celes looked at me and said, "Are you not going to watch?"
I felt a bit guilty seeing her downcast expression, but I sighed and said, "I would love to. But I need to help Sensei out."
"Oh!" Celes nodded and then said, "Please do that. I will be fine by myself."
"Are you sure?" I frowned and said, "I can wait until later."
Celes shook her head. "It will be fine. Besides, your father is coming home soon, is he not?"
"...Oh. Right."
That guy did say something about coming back more often since he was back from his business trip...
"Well..." I activated my transformation ability, turning into Zenki and then glanced at Celes. "If he does anything weird, beat him up."
Celes frowned. "I think that will be difficult... but rest assured, Sen. I will die before I am claimed by someone else."
"..."
"..." Celes blushed and turned her head to the side.
I cleared my throat. "T-Then, I'll be going."
"S-Stay safe, Sen. I-I will be streaming then."
With a nod, I left the house, making sure to lock up as I did. After adjusting my clothes... which magically changed to suit me this time, thankfully, I started walking off towards Sensei's house.
'You do know that if you start a harem now after how loyal Celes is, the world's going to kill you, right?'
"Shut up, dang it!" I quickly glanced at my surroundings and muttered, "Don't raise any more flags!"
'đż'
...Scratch that. Maybe I *will* gacha for a way to get you here. Just so I can smack you in the face.
'đ'
...
I tugged on my shirt collar and muttered, "Whatever. Now... What items did I have again?"
[Inventory]
UR - Shimmering Smiling Story
UR - Black and Pink Charm
UR - Isn't it beautiful?
UR - Black Kite
R - Idol Basics x2
R - VTuber Basics x2
SR - Ladykiller
...Well, I guess Sensei won't have to worry about being successful?
'GASP.'
Did you just say the word 'gasp' out loud?
'I forgot you had those! OMG! Sexy Sensei VTuber dream is real!'
...
I shook my head and kept walking. Hopefully Sensei was doing alright.
