Bottom-tier voice actress wants to become a big star on VTuber.

Isn't Tianjiao Riku going to draw cards? Just give him an SSR card directly, so Bat Girl won't have to reincarnate twice.

Several thoughts raced through her mind, but Shimizu Toru didn't stop typing a reply: "Of course I know, they're using our company's software, but why did they suddenly think of inviting me?"

[Eh...actually, the theme of the collaboration was a talk between lovers. I originally invited Uzuki Hikaru, but he just told me that his microphone was malfunctioning and he can't come.]

Oh right, I almost forgot, this woman and Uzuki Hikari were actually a couple, although it was Mea who was just trying to force a connection.

"Talking like lovers? Our relationship isn't that close, is it?"

【What are you saying, Master! Your disciple is in trouble; isn't this the time for you to step in?】

"...How many times have I told you not to call me teacher? I don't have a student as stupid as you."

Ever since that LOL collaboration, when Shimizu Toru taught her how to play top lane, this woman has been unilaterally clinging to her.

After a while, he didn't hear her reply and just thought he had given up when Mea suddenly sent him another message.

[I've talked to Hanu, and we changed the content to "Let's Talk About Our Troubles," so is everything alright now? Everyone really wants to get to know you; I can show you the chat screenshots if you don't believe me!]

"Screenshots are fine, but don't expose other people's privacy indiscriminately. Of course I am one of them. What was the specific time?"

【Yay~ It's a deal then, it starts at 8:30, see you there!】

[And also, teacher, when are you going to play LOL with me again? I've already dropped to Silver II!]

"If you're bad, practice more. When you can climb back to Gold rank on your own, I'll play with you."

I haven't played LOL for several days, and I'm really itching to play, but I'll stick to Sekiro for now.

Once he finishes the game on his second playthrough, he can then launch the April Fool's Day prank project. As for the offline collaboration that was originally canceled, he has already come up with a replacement project.

—It's not about switching to online, but rather preparing to create a multi-person collaborative cover song project, the kind with fixed members.

There are no similar fixed cover song groups within Nijisanji at present; the only ones are game collaboration groups.

The first cov group is the delinquent group, whose members are Higuchi Kaede, Kenmochi Touya, Kuon Chitose, Kuzuha, Todoroki Kyoko, and the soon-to-debut well-known orthodox fan Saegusa Akina.

Shimizu Toru plans to not pick from the list of Livs above, and the tentative list includes Yuhi Lily, Midori Sen, Inu Inotoko, Machida Chima, and Rindou Takashi, all of whom are singers.

The only problem is that I'm the only boy here, but that's okay, the voices of the first three can all be used as male voices.

We haven't decided on a group name yet. We plan to wait until we've gathered everyone together before discussing it, so as not to embarrass him by not giving him face.

Two hours later, after being killed by the Guardian Ape with a blood-red lion's roar after having his head grabbed for the fifth time, Shimizu Toru had to end the broadcast in humiliation.

Mea was already on Line, so I reminded him that the collaboration was about to start and he would be late if I waited any longer.

You can't make a bunch of people wait for you the first time you collaborate with someone.

He was also planning to poach 774's girlfriends, so of course he had to make a good first impression on Batgirl and the others.

Book 1: Chapter 53 Talking about Troubles

"Youxian Chicha" is a virtual anchor project under 774 Company, abbreviated as ANMR, which means "have time to drink tea" in Hokkien.

But even though the project name is in Hokkien, the company's operations seem to look down on Todai and have consistently disagreed with Inari's development towards Bilibili.

Coupled with the lack of approval from their parents in reality, the team, which originally consisted of five people, dwindled to four by the end of last year.

However, 774 isn't the only company with operational problems; sometimes the world really is just a giant makeshift operation.

Success is not necessarily due to his excellence; it could also be because everyone else was so bad that he was relatively better, and he also benefited from the early-mover advantage.

"Good evening~ I am Toru Hanyu, a virtual high school student belonging to 2434. Nice to meet you."

After the live stream started, Shimizu Toru had just greeted everyone when Bat Girl exclaimed in a gullible manner, "So handsome! And his voice is so nice!"

Incidentally, in addition to the three already mentioned, the participants in this collaboration also include Hanu Inaba, the yellow rabbit from Yukan Katsucha, and Patora Suoh from another 774 project.

—That is, the protagonist of the famous handwritten book "Patra is just shaking a Coke," and the background music of the handwritten book is her original song.

The person behind the song is Momoko, a Nico Nico Douga singer who has been professionally selling cuteness for thirty years. There is a Hatsune Miku MMD video with over 200 million views on Bilibili, and the background music is Senbonzakura.

The last one was also a girl, Oda Nobuhime, who was a great singer but insisted on becoming a comedian, and later became Polka.

Upon seeing the collaboration partners, Shimizu Toru immediately complained: "What happened to the lovers' talk? Are you all yuri?"

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to organize 19 online collaborations, since he was the only boy in each of them anyway.

"Huh!? Is that what Mea told you? Our topic today has been about talking about our troubles from the very beginning, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing Inaba's words, Shimizu Toru knew perfectly well that he had been tricked by that despicable woman, Mea.

Good grief, so this is the demolition theory?

But there were only two minutes left before the broadcast started, and it was too late to back out, so he had no choice but to get on the wrong track.

Hearing Bat Girl praise her own voice in a soft, cute voice, Shimizu Toru's mood improved slightly: "Everyone's voice is cute too—except for a certain military uniform maid."

"Hey—Sensei, how could you say that about your lovely student?"

"I've already told you! You're not allowed to call me teacher!"

Toru Shimizu has witnessed firsthand how terrible it is to be entangled with Mea; she is truly persistent and shameless.

"Why does Mea call you Sensei?" A few years later, Suoh Patra, who had left 774 and become an independent fighter, asked curiously.

"I only taught her how to play LOL for a few hours. I have never admitted that she is my student."

As the MC, Inaba promptly steered the conversation back on track: "Nato-kun—I see everyone calls you that, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"It's alright, Hanu-san is a senior, just call me Yuzuru."

"No, no, Tou-kun is all the rage right now. If I'm too casual, your fans will attack me."

There's nothing we can do about that. When it comes to fans, you can only try to persuade them as much as possible. If you encounter someone who doesn't listen, you can't just expel them from the fandom.

Given the volatile public opinion environment in Japan, one can easily become the target of criticism if they are not careful, so it is understandable that Hanu Inaba is being so cautious.

"Does Tou-kun have any troubles he needs to confide in? We'd be happy to be a sounding board, or to help you think of a solution."

"He probably doesn't have it. After all, he's had a smooth career since his debut, and now he has almost 200,000 subscribers. He was approved for monetization in less than a week."

Upon hearing Oda Nobuhime mention the words "profitability," the women present immediately felt envious, as none of them hadn't been blocked by YouTube.

Especially the Batgirl, who only got monetization approved a few days ago, was practically spitting out envy: "Wow, that's great, monetization approved in less than a week..."

"Um (⊙o⊙)...I, I remember now, I actually had some troubles I wanted to talk about too!!"

Feeling that if the situation continued to develop, Shimizu Toru would be attacked by everyone, she quickly came up with a clever idea: "Didn't I forget to end the broadcast before, which caused the sound of me sleeping to be broadcast?"

"Hmm, so what? You feel ashamed?" Hanu Inaba chimed in, just like the straight man in a crosstalk performance.

"The shame aspect is alright, after all, three days have passed. The main problem is that the three-hour-long version has already surpassed one million favorites. I really can't understand it!"

As soon as Shimizu Toru finished speaking, Suoh Patra said somewhat guiltily, "Eh, actually I also collected it. It's really great for helping me sleep at night."

"Well, I'm a little embarrassed, but I also contributed one to my collection," Batgirl added.

After all, what girl could resist the urge to close her eyes, put on headphones, and listen to the calm and rhythmic breathing of a young man with a deep, youthful voice?

Most of the sleep aids currently on the market are just various hissing sounds or natural white noise, but the sleep-aiding sounds from Qingshui Tou are absolutely unique.

Not to mention it's aimed at women. There aren't many male streamers making Olympiad Math Magic Blade videos these days. If this video doesn't go viral, who will?

"So, after that video went viral, did it have any impact on Tou-kun? For example, did viewers strongly request that you do another episode?"

"Yes, I will, but I will definitely not make this mistake again!"

This accident completely shattered Shimizu Tomo's idea of ​​achieving 24-hour durability. If staying up all night is this bad, a full day and night would probably kill him.

"Apart from that, the fan ratio has changed a bit. Before, the male-female ratio was 75% to 25%, but now it has risen to 67% to 33%, and there are a lot more female fans now."

Shimizu Toru already had a 25% female fanbase, which was already quite high. Currently, most of the people watching Vox are male otaku, and it's far from the point where a single B-limited event could rake in 111 million RMB.

If it weren't for his overwhelming advantage in voice, even if he didn't have a female fan base as low as Shezhu or Chaika, it would at most be only a dozen percent.

Even so, Mea and others, who don't have many female fans, were speechless with envy.

"Wow...you have so many cute female fans. You're not here today just to show off, are you?"

Upon hearing Oda Nobuhime's words, Shimizu Toru said meaningfully, "I may have many female fans, but none of them are as high quality as yours."

"Huh? I have high-quality female fans? How come I don't know that myself?" Big Head was completely dumbfounded by what he said, and for a moment he was as confused as Louis XVI.

"Seaweed Man Teacher, aren't you enough that such famous illustrators are your fans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone except Oda Nobuhime burst into laughter.

"www, that's right, that's right! Seaweed Man is indeed a fan of Nobuhime, he's invited her to collaborate several times, hahaha!"

In fact, the two hadn't even been in contact yet, because it was Inuyama Tamahime who had been harassing Oda Nobuhime. Shimizu Toru's words were clearly leading the charge.

However, since Inuyama never intended to hide it from the beginning, they would deliberately use the "tower" meme whenever they collaborated with Nori-kun.

If it were another account, they wouldn't usually do this unless they had a very close relationship with the person they were with.

-------------------------

There will be two more chapters tonight, five chapters tomorrow at noon, and five chapters tomorrow evening.

I currently owe two chapters of 750 blades, and will start paying them off the day after tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 54 Cooking for Sunset Lily [Bonus Chapter]

On the 26th of the month, the weather was cloudy with a light breeze.

After a series of auditions, Shimizu Toru got a role as an NPC with a significant amount of screen time—Albert from Barbara's fan club.

In addition, I also got a few minor characters who didn't appear in the main story but were just background characters on the world map, like the ones in Honkai Impact 3rd who call out for Bakumo-juan or Naoko-gao.

It is well known that Japanese actors, whether in dramas or movies, are masters of facial expressions.

This exaggerated performance style was naturally incorporated into the voice acting, to the point that many Tokyo University players felt that the Japanese voice acting was a bit over the top.

For example, the character Albert sounds a bit shy in the Chinese dub, while the Japanese dub is like a die-hard fan, speaking in such a high-pitched voice that you worry he might faint at any moment.

At first, Shimizu Toru was a little reserved, since he had never seen such an extreme fan in real life before, and his emotions were always a bit off.

After watching a few videos, I realized that there are quite a few people like this in Japan. The level of effort they put into cheering is so high that they burn more calories than doing burpees.

By imitating their crazy antics, I finally managed to finish recording today. When I looked at my phone, it was already past four o'clock.

He quickly messaged Lily in the Sunset: "I'm all set with work now. Let's meet somewhere and go grocery shopping together."

The other party replied instantly, clearly having been holding their phone the whole time: "No problem! I can't wait!"

However, before going to Lily's house in the sunset, Shimizu Toru made a special trip back to his apartment to get a plastic bag full of seasonings, just in case he didn't have anywhere to buy them.

After receiving an advance of 5 million yen in salary, he immediately contacted a real estate agent to help him find an apartment, but because his conditions were a bit demanding, he hadn't heard back after two days.

More than half an hour later, Shimizu Toru successfully met up with Yuhi Lily, and the meeting place was a large shopping mall.

Seeing the bag he was carrying, Lily in the Sunset couldn't help but ask curiously, "It looks like it contains seasonings?"

"Yes, some special seasonings are needed for Chinese dishes, which are not easy to find in regular supermarkets. Without them, the taste is not authentic."

It's actually just a bottle of Pixian chili bean paste, some star anise, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns, but it's only sold in small supermarkets run by people from Dongda University.

Once inside the supermarket, Shimizu Toru grabbed a shopping cart, put the bags inside, and asked Xiyang Lili, "Besides Mapo Tofu, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"Hey, I want to eat more meat—but I have a small appetite, I can only eat a little bit of each dish."

Although Japanese people generally have small appetites, it's quite rare to see someone like her who can get full from eating jelly.

Shimizu Toru glanced at Xiyang Lili, who was 162 cm tall but weighed no more than 90 kg, and felt that he really needed to cook a few more dishes.

This way, even if she only eats a little of each dish, she can still eat a lot more than usual. Ideally, everything except Mapo Tofu should be meat.

With that in mind, Shimizu Toru immediately had an idea of ​​which ingredients to buy: "How about I cook you a few dishes that you've never eaten before?"

"Okay, okay, as long as it's done by you, I have no problem with it."

After some shopping, the two arrived at the apartment rented by Lily in the Sunset. Because her family was relatively well-off, she lived in a two-bedroom apartment.

As soon as I opened the door, a kitten, about three or four months old, pounced on my feet in the clear water, grabbing my trouser leg and meowing as it tried to climb up.

"No, Meow-chan! This is a guest, come here quickly!"

Lily quickly squatted down, picked up the kitten and hugged it tightly, petting it while scolding, "If you do that again, I won't give you any treats."

"Didn't you give it a name? Or is it just called Meow-chan?"

"At first, we planned to call it that and change it when we came up with a better name, but then we saw that it got used to the name, so we gave up on that idea."
