Episode 14: Don't aim for perfection

I ate an instant all-purpose dinner called fried rice, finished my homework, and entered the virtual club room just before 9:00.

Waiting there was not only Mion and Bell-buchou, but also Yata-sensei.

"I'm late."

[ Shou-kun. ]

"It's not a sports club, so you don't have to worry about being 5 or 10 minutes late."

"Right."

I appreciated her saying that, but I felt like it was pretty tough at the end of club activities and the end of a livestream ...

"Then, let's all watch the video that Mion-san edited."

"Got it."

Bell-buchou started playing the video she received from Mion with a snap of her fingers.

[ I saw the miracle of IRO!! I found the only player who started on an uninhabited island!! ]

... Was it intentional that the title seemed to somehow give off an amazing feeling? Well, it was exactly what the title said.

Then, Mion appeared. She was cute because the explorer style suited her. I had a feeling this would be very popular depending on the content.

[ Nice to meet you. I am Mion from the game Mystery Hunter, desu. My best regards. ](TN:Keigo)

Mion bowed softly. That's good. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who are obsessed with politeness.

[ This time, although I discovered it by chance, I will take a look at the lifestyle of the IRO solo player. If the video was interesting, and if you want to see more, please subscribe to the channel. ](TN:Keigo)

Yup, yup, template, template.

After that, she edited and connected the archived play videos well, and explained the key points from the coast of the uninhabited island to the east.(TN:The coast is east of where he started, not the island is on the east.)

I killed Sousnakes and Bicobits, dismembered them, grilled and ate their meat, pursued the Goblins I found unobtrusively, and even found a settlement.

In the middle of it, there was some interaction between me and Mion, but it was put together in a nice way.

[ This is the end of this video. Please let us know your opinions and requests in the comments. See you in the next video! ](TN:Keigo)

Mion waved her hand with a smile.

Wow, isn't this too high quality!?

"That's good! I think the number of views for this will jump!"

[ How is it, Shou-kun? ]

"I think it was really good. There was a lot of variety and there was no time to get bored, and it was interesting all the way to the end."

[ I'm glaad. ](TN:Not a typo)

That fluffy smile is cute and heart-wrenching, so please forgive me.

"How about Yata-sensei?"

"Hmm, it's a great work, but it's too good so it's a problem."

A gesture of placing a finger on her chin and tilting her neck slightly. I didn't think it was a gesture that a woman over 20 would do ...

Mion asked a question while ignoring the gesture.

[ Sensei, what's the problem, desu? ]

"First of all, I feel like it's a long video for the first time. Mion-chan, who can do a solid report like that in about 15 minutes is amazing, but it looks like it's done by a pro."

"I, I see ..."

Now that you mention it, the progress and editing quality is too high to be considered a 'rookie virtual idol'.

A viewer with good intuition might think, 'Oh, this was prepared', and I felt that it wasn't good to have their suspicions get ahead of themselves.

Besides, Yata-sensei seemed to have more work to do.

"You've packed all the information you've learned so far into the video, but in that case, it will be difficult from the next time onwards. If there's no progress in Shou-kun's gameplay, you can't put out a video."

"Uu ... That's tough. To be honest, I wonder if the game will progress because I'm fumbling around too much."

Currently, I'm stuck at the stage of deciding what to do about the Goblin Village found at the end of the video.

[ Shou-kun, it's not good to overdo it. Sensei, what should we do, desu? ]

"Do it more loosely, how about going at the same pace as Shou-kun's uninhabited island slow life?"

According to Yata-sensei, the video this time should be from the moment I first landed on the uninhabited island to the moment the meeting between Mion and I happened.

Especially since in the archives of the first day, you could see me earning the special reward SP, so I thought that alone would be worth the video.

"Certainly, if you cram too much into it, people will tend to be dissatisfied that the next time will be lacking the same amount of content ..."

As expected of an experienced person, Bell-buchou nodded as if she had something in mind. On the other hand, Mion looked a little dissatisfied, didn't she?

Well, she made it so perfectly, of course she would be depressed if someone said it wasn't good because it was too perfect.

"People who come to see it thinking it's a strategy video will quickly leave without new information."

It's true that it's hard to feel like you have to be desperate to have people continue watching it. It would no longer be a slow life.

"Isn't it better to feel like Mion-san is watching over Shou-kun's slow life?"

"That's right. Don't you think that the daily lives of animals kept in zoos are cute. How about going in that direction?"

I feel like the conversation is going in a terrible direction ... Is it okay to cry?

[ Is that okay with you, Shou-kun? ]

"Hmm, you mean I just need to play while chatting with Mion, right? If that's all you need ..."

Please allow me to interpret it that way. As expected, being handled as a pet video is tough.

"The start of the uninhabited island is quite special, and it seems that it will be remove, so it would be better to show the difficult parts."

Ah ... It's true that Natto also wanted to come, and if I only served delicious content, wouldn't it be annoying to the management side. I'd feel bad if that happened to Mion.

"Gotcha. Include the unrefined parts, go the direction of a deserted island survival diary."

[ Thanks, Shou-kun. ]

Well, in fact, it's better to have people watch the game play that's hard, so they don't have any strange admiration or jealousy. I'll just play normally.

In the end, after that, Mion and Yata-sensei demonstrated their amazing editing skills, and the first video retake was completed in about an hour.

[ Okay, I'll upload it. ]

"What should we do about publicity. Induction from my channel ... I wonder if it would be considered prepared content again."

"That's right. It should be fine to tag the video as IRO. We'll see how the viewers react to that."

Well, it would be nice if the number of views gradually increased, the number of subscribers increased, and people became accustomed to livestreaming.

There was a time when I thought such ...
