CH 3

I showed Yuuto a video I intended to share with him alone this morning, but things took a more significant turn. Still, everyone’s response was undoubtedly positive, so I decided to make the video the first commemorative upload on my channel.

Now that I have my video ready, I need to create a channel next.

Though I said creating, it’s just setting the channel name, so there’s no need to think hard about it.

A simple play on my name should suffice.

Yuka Channel

Shirahime Channel

YUKA Channel

However, none of these feels right…

After some consideration, I decided that using my full name as the channel name would be the best choice.

Search-wise, people won’t be confused even if they only know me by name.

If I add “Channel” to it, it might not come as a top result and would take people longer to find me.

So, I decided to keep things simple and use my name, including the romanized version, to make sure it’s easily recognizable.

白姫ゆか/Yuka Shirahime

All that’s left is to create the channel and upload the video.

It took less than an hour to go from thinking up a channel name to uploading content.

I also created a new Tweeter account named Yuka Shirahime.

I then sent Yuru-sensei a DM and called it a day.

After everyone bombarded me at school today, I felt pooped.

—Yuru Kakizaki’s POV—

“Hm? I received a message. Oh, he finally uploaded a video! I should call Yura and watch it with her.”

I picked up my phone and headed over to Yura’s room.

“Yura! He finally uploaded a video! Wanna watch it with me?”

“What? Really?! I wanna see!”

And so, we began watching the video.

[Hey there, onii-chans and onee-chans watching this video for the first time! My name is Yuka Shirahime, and I’ve decided to become a VTuber starting today!]

We heard a string of risky words from the beginning of the video.

“!”

“!”

I was severely damaged when he said “onee-chan,” but I managed to endure it.

“Phew… His content seems fine for now. Let’s see what he does in the future…”

“Hey, onee-chan, he said his debut’s next week. Of course, we’ll watch it, right?”

“Absolutely!!!”

“Hello? Earth to onee-chan, you’re regressing.”

“Ack! That was close!”

“I have another job, but I’ll try to finish it early.”

“Okay, I’ll do the same.”

“Alright, I’ll go back to my room and continue working.”

“Roger! Good luck, onee-chan!”

“Thanks. Later then.”

I left Yura’s room and went back to my own.

“Oh, I haven’t shared the video yet.”

I followed his Tweeter account and retweeted the post.

I’m looking forward to next weekend.

I made up my mind to wrap up my current work early just for that.

This is an anonymous online forum where 80-90% of internet users are familiar with the site.

Among them, there’s a VTuber sub-forum that discusses VTubers.

This sub-forum has a thread called “Discovering Promising New VTubers,” where a certain VTuber was introduced today.

The response from netizens was very positive, but the VTuber herself was still unaware of it.
