The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 155: Interesting story

【This_Code : Leviathan Server】

Hanabane Rui [This week, there will be a match between Behemoth vs Cerberus.] [Like the last Griffin match, we'll be watching together.] [If you're available to join, please hit the heart.] ♡7

It was unusual for all the Leviathan members to participate, even including the owner, Choi Gaho.

"That's unexpected."

Choi Gaho seemed to keep his distance from the team. I honestly didn’t think he’d participate in something like this.

He’s a busy pro-gamer, so it would make sense for him to avoid these events, but other teams seem to have a good relationship with their owners. For example, I’ve seen Cerberus playing Face of Exile 2 with their owner before.

‘Maybe that’s why...’

The Leviathan members had become fairly close. It honestly wasn't that great that only the owner felt distant.

It seemed like Choi Gaho was participating in this collaboration to get closer to the team. Maybe he was trying to bond with us through this opportunity.

Anyway, the simultaneous viewing of the Behemoth vs Cerberus match was decided.

"...It’s been a while since I came, why is the house such a mess?"

Sora surprised me by visiting the house.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

"It can’t be helped. These days, Leon comes home late."

Considering it's the end of the year, this level of mess was expected. There were some holidays and breaks, so housework was somewhat progressing, but once February comes around, I’m afraid the chores will pile up again.

There won’t be any public holidays in February, and since Leon hasn’t been a manager for even a year, I doubt he’ll get much time off.

In the meantime, someone like Chell or Ainatsu has been staying at the house, so there hasn’t been a problem, but from February, I might really have to hire a housekeeper.

That aside...

"What brings you here?"

I had heard before that Sora would visit, but I hadn’t heard why she came today.

When I asked, Sora tilted her head slightly.

"Is there really a need for a reason? It’s not the first time I’ve come over."

"You don’t come that often though."

"Am I not visiting enough?"

"I don’t know."

Ainatsu was the one who stayed the longest consecutively, and Anna seemed to visit our house ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ regularly at fixed intervals.

Sora, on the other hand, used to visit often, but recently, it had become quite rare.

"...I couldn’t help it. Lately, I’ve been busy with the MV."

Sora sighed.

"And before that, I was busy preparing for the Fantasy League... I think I came over quite a lot when I had some free time."

"So, that means you have time now?"

"Yeah. The MV recording is pretty much done, and I’ll be free until the Shin’s Style broadcast."

So that’s why she came to visit.

It was good for me.

"Well, since you're here, can you help with some housework? Oh, and bring me some tea."

"...You’re still the same."

Sora gave me an incredulous look, but she shrugged as if it were nothing.

Son Nalim [Laura said she plans to do a 3D broadcast.] [We are currently looking into dance trainers. It seems likely that it will work out.] [But have you decided on the song?] [Though I'm not an expert on songs, I know that some songs are easier to choreograph than others.] [If you’re fine with it, would you like to go to a karaoke place?]

Just after Sora handed me the tea, I received a message from Son Nalim.

"Son Nalim...? You’ve become quite friendly with that person, haven’t you?"

Sora asked with a somewhat inquisitive tone.

"You contact each other quite often. They probably like me on a personal level."

"...Like you?"

"Son Nalim and I have some similarities."

For example, we’re both serious about gaming.

Of course, there’s a difference. Nalim doesn’t like to lose, while I prefer to win.

It seems like we’re similar, but there’s a pretty sharp contrast between us.

"I guess Nalim’s actually a pitiful kid."

Nalim gets along with people, but she has difficulty making close friends she can truly confide in. She tends to isolate herself.

Maybe that’s why she reaches out to me.

Not many people outside of me would spend time with her.

"...So, you’re intentionally being friendly with her?"

"I wouldn’t say I’m intentionally getting along with her. It’s just that she reminds me of someone I know."

"Someone you know?"

"That’s something I’ll leave to the imagination. Anyway, I’m going to a karaoke place, so you should come along too."

I said that.

Nalim always seems to have good timing.

Actually, I was still unsure of what song to sing for the first 3D broadcast. It turned out to be harder than expected.

So, Nalim’s suggestion was quite appreciated, but...

‘The suggestion itself is welcome, but I’m not sure how much Nalim will actually help.’

Nalim is definitely a fellow gaming enthusiast, but when it comes to songs, I honestly don’t think she knows much.

That’s why I thought it would be more helpful if I brought Sora along.

Most importantly, I couldn’t leave Sora alone at the house while I went out.

"...Alright, I’ll go. I was also curious about what that person looks like."

Sora said with a smile.

If you’re someone who likes J-POP, you’d know that there are some limitations when it comes to singing Japanese songs in Korea.

The karaoke machine manufacturer needs to import the songs from Japan, and that process takes time. Plus, unpopular songs don’t get imported at all. Even some popular songs are sometimes not imported.

For most regular people, that’s probably fine, but for anime fans, it’s inevitable that they’ll feel frustrated.

And who has to cater to anime fans? Virtual YouTubers, of course.

If virtual YouTubers only sing mainstream songs, their viewers won’t be happy. People have already heard those songs too many times.

So, we ended up going to Tanukineko.

It’s a chain store that brought Japanese karaoke machines to Korea.

"...I didn’t know you could rent a room for the whole day."

As Sora stepped into Tanukineko, she muttered.

Actually, Nalim hadn’t gone to karaoke much.

She was always the one being invited by juniors, and this was her first time inviting someone to karaoke.

So, I had suggested going to karaoke, but in the end, it was Sora who decided on the place.

I wish she had decided where to go earlier.

But that wasn’t such a bad result.

Although Nalim knew about Tanukineko, she didn’t know that you could rent a room for the entire day. It was something she hadn’t known until now. She might find herself using this information in the future.

That said...

‘Ayanokoji Sora... She’s someone who makes singing her main content.’

Beyond that, I didn’t know much about her.

She was Aurora’s classmate, and they were close. They were also on the same Leviathan team.

I didn’t know much more than that.

Thinking about it now, I realized I didn’t know much about Sora herself.

‘Honestly, I’m not all that interested, but...’

Still, it would be good to learn more this time. After all, Sora was part of Leviathan, and I’d likely clash with her at some point.

Thinking that, Nalim opened the door.

"Did you arrive?"

As soon as she opened the door, the first person she saw was Laura sitting in a chair.

And behind her, a university-aged woman seemed to be adjusting Laura’s hair.

"...What are you doing?"

"Can’t you see? I’m getting my hair styled."

Laura casually let Sora handle it.

"Sora said I should change my hairstyle."

"...It can’t be helped. I’m sure you looked it up, didn’t you?"

Sora let out a slight sigh.

She combed Laura’s hair and tied it up near her neck, curling it neatly.

A dumpling hairstyle.

But since it was tied low instead of at the top, it emphasized maturity over cuteness.

Laura already had a graceful atmosphere about her.

She gave off the vibe of a young rich wife.

Or perhaps a mature woman vibe.

Maybe some would say...

"I’m turned on."

Sora let out an unconscious breath.

Her neck... it was so white.

"Are you saying you looked it up... what do you mean by that?"

Nalim managed to gather herself and ask.

Steady mental strength.

It was the most powerful weapon Nalim had.

Although this wasn’t really a situation where her mental strength was being tested.

Anyway...

"Sora said she thought someone recognized me on the way here."

"...You think people can recognize you just by wearing sunglasses? You should change your hair. You look just like a plain board..."

"That’s why I’m letting Sora style it."

The two of them had this conversation. ...Was it really true that someone recognized me?

VTubers usually wear faceplates, so not many people recognize them. But apparently, some do manage to figure it out.

Sora’s face and voice are obvious enough to be recognized.

I’ve never been recognized, but if it were Aurora, it would definitely be noticeable.

Both her face and voice are distinctive.

"Anyway, be careful. I’m not at your house every day, and I can’t always be called out when you go out. You should at least do your own hair when you go out."

"Are you staying with Laura?"

Nalim asked.

They hadn’t even introduced themselves yet, but she felt something was off.

Sora’s tone also seemed odd.

Also, when I suggested going to karaoke, the response was "We’ll take Sora along, so it should be fine." It was strange, wasn’t it? It seemed like Sora had been with her from the beginning.

That means...

"Oh, right... I was at Laura’s house."

"I see! So, you were at Laura’s house!"

Nalim answered.

Well, that’s an interesting story.
