"Ah."
With a thud, China slammed the plastic bag full of game coins against the corner of the glass case.
Boom?!
In an instant, the glass shattered in all directions, and a small mountain of fufu (a type of virtual toy) rolled out of the claw machine. The background music in the arcade changed to a piercing alarm.
Seeing the shards of glass falling at her feet, Aine took a step back in fright.
Looking up, China, whose body and face were scratched, was holding a bunch of fufu in her hands and walking towards me with a warm smile.
"Little...Little Chinatsu..."
Aine trembled as she raised her hand to touch China's scratched cheek...
Suddenly, she opened her eyes groggily.
In front of her, lying in bed with her, and holding it in her hand now, is the fufu that China gave her.
There are still fifteen minutes until the alarm goes off... Oh, I didn't set an alarm for Golden Week.
However, when Ai Yin opened her phone, she noticed a red dot in the upper right corner of the email app.
"Could it be?!"
Ai Yin was so excited that she immediately sobered up and opened her email.
[Sender:]
[You passed the test]
[Getting back to the point, you've been hired.]
I saw from your profile that you watch my live streams to learn English, and I'm glad I was able to help you in this way.
[During your time as a moderator, I hope you can further improve your English skills through practice while managing the chat environment.]
Chapter 199 From today onwards, I'll give you room management privileges.
"Good morning-"
As soon as Xiangzi opened his eyes in the morning, he saw Hatsune Miku's round face right in front of him, waving her arms.
Xiangzi was stunned for a while before realizing that it wasn't that Fufu had a voice-generating device inside, but rather that Qianna, who was holding Fufu behind him, was imitating Hatsune Miku's voice to greet him.
"Have you studied voice acting?"
She was very surprised at how such an electronic-sounding voice could be produced.
"Do you need me to teach you?" Chika continued to imitate Fufu, "The key is to keep your tone steady and add some vibrato techniques to make it sound like an electronic voice with a pause."
"No need. You can put it in your talent show segment during the live stream later."
Unexpectedly, Xiangzi woke up and still couldn't stop talking about his business, and then he mentioned who was going to be hired as a housing manager.
"I've already made my choice."
Qiannai tucked Fufu into her arms, and with her other hand, she pointed the phone screen at Xiangzi.
"Netizen A, look how sincere her resume is!"
As soon as Xiangzi saw the sender's name, he immediately sat up in bed.
The job seeker was very serious about the job and specifically used an email address with their real name in Roman numerals.
“Chihaya Anon…”
The attachment to the main text contains a standard resume document.
The description states that the individual is currently a high school student, whose native language is Japanese, whose written English proficiency is up to standard, and who has ample time to work as a housekeeper in the evenings.
Meanwhile, netizen A expressed her love for live streaming with a variety of words, saying that learning English through live streaming is fun and helpful.
Although I don't have high hopes of being hired, I still hope to contribute to my favorite streamer.
The introduction was written in both Japanese and English. Judging from the writing style and logic, Ai-yin's English writing skills are indeed up to standard.
only……
"If we want Chinese comments, we can find someone who speaks Chinese to manage them."
Before Xiangzi could speak, his face still contemplative, Qiannai continued.
"Have you... sent the receipt yet?" Xiangzi asked.
"Sent, I've approved her for the job."
"……All right.
Xiangzi originally wanted to suggest that Aine be the room manager, but that would make her suspect that China was the person behind it.
But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to continue.
"Let me check the other emails. Recruiting just one or two moderators isn't enough. There are just too many comments in the live stream with tens of thousands of viewers."
Xiangzi glanced through the emails and found that there were many job seekers who could speak multiple languages.
Many resumes include certificates such as HSK Level 6 in Chinese, IELTS 8.5, and Japanese N1, along with other certificates in less common languages, and descriptions of their familiarity with slang and memes in different languages.
Many of them do so out of love for watching live streams and out of personal interest, and therefore do not require much compensation.
“Many of them are international students,” Xiangzi remarked.
“International student…” China repeated the word softly.
Speaking of which, Aine has always seemed very determined to learn English well, and she showed great gratitude for China's willingness to teach her English.
Is it because you plan to study abroad in the future?
At this moment, Xiangzi returned the phone.
"Alright, let's conduct an onboarding interview for Ai Yin first."
…………
Beep??
Just after finishing breakfast, Ai-yin heard her phone ring. A business account named Staff S had added her on Line.
"This is... the name of the room manager!" Aine quickly remembered it.
In her excitement, she held her breath and pressed the "agree" button.
[Hello, this is a staff member. I added you using the contact information from your resume. Are you Ms. Chihaya?]
Yes, it's an honor to be recruited by your company!
When Ai Yin typed this sentence, her fingers were trembling with excitement, and she pressed the wrong key several times.
Would it be convenient for us to chat sometime via video call or voice call?
Convenient, of course it's convenient!
Okay, you can do it now.
Ai Yin answered without hesitation. She had carefully changed her clothes and put on light makeup beforehand, and also wore glasses to make herself look more intellectual, as if she were dealing with a very formal job.
Even if you don't get an interview with her, you should still dress up nicely to celebrate.
Through the video call, Ai Yin saw that the other party had a virtual webcam on, and the virtual avatar used was indeed hers.
They actually used a staff member's account to personally recruit people?
Wow, this is practically a one-on-one online interaction! And with a world-class singer at that!
Thinking of this, Ai Yin's joy was almost overflowing, but since it was an interview, she didn't let her smile appear exaggerated.
"Hello, Chihaya-kun." She waved.
Hello, ~
Ai Yin couldn't contain her excitement and her voice cracked when she spoke.
"Excuse me……"
She covered her face with her hands and lowered her head out of the camera's view.
"It's okay, relax, just think of it as chatting with your good friend."
Did you consider me a good friend?
These words made Ai Yin's heart boil with joy, like a hissing kettle.
She felt she was going to become incoherent when answering the questions that followed.
"I'm sorry, I'm just too happy... because I thought only people who are fluent in multiple languages could be hired by you."
While covering her face and speaking indistinctly, Aine suddenly wondered if China might also be applying for a job.
"Haha, have more confidence. I'll be happy if you're willing to improve your English to be a better room manager."
Aiyin slowly raised her head and reappeared in the camera's view, seemingly lost in thought.
Is this considered... a fan-building game?
In this world where talent abounds, she chose the ordinary me, and has gradually witnessed my progress for her sake...
Ai Yin tried to find a rational explanation for her being hired, but even if it was out of interest, she was undoubtedly lucky.
"I will do my best for you!" She bowed deeply.
"Then let's settle the wages on time, 1500 per hour?"
“Of course, I would be very grateful!” Ai Yin immediately agreed.
This is considered high even among the high-intensity part-time jobs in the food service industry in Ikebukuro, especially considering that Aine didn't intend to ask for much salary in the first place.
Just the fact that you get to work for free and have a "housing manager" position is worth it, right?
Now, not only can you chat one-on-one, but you can also earn a salary by watching live streams and managing the comments from home. Is this what they call good fortune?
Ah, I didn't have time to share it with everyone in the band.
"By the way, about your job as a housing manager..."
After hesitating for a moment, he continued,
"Try to keep a low profile."
“…”, Ai Yin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Okay, I won’t tell anyone.”
After all, he recruited me out of interest, and it wouldn't be good for him to pass this on to someone who feels their talents are not being recognized.
If Chika also sent out her resume but wasn't hired, but then found out I was hired, it would be a bit awkward.
"Finally, managing bullet comments is not an easy task. You need to keep an eye out for users who disrupt the atmosphere and bullet comments that subtly mention sensitive topics. You need to learn more to distinguish between them."
"I'll send you a room management operation manual later, so you can get a basic understanding of it first. See you later!"
"Goodbye~" Aine picked up Megurine Fufu from the side and waved with Fufu's arm.
"So cute! I'll cover a Vocaloid song in my next live stream."
"Wow, I can't wait!" Ai Yin's eyes lit up.
She tilted her head slightly and smiled, then lowered her voice.
"Well then, good luck, my administrator, my guardian."
"protector……"
Ai Yin suddenly felt that this responsibility had become much heavier.
Chapter 200 Now, I'm taking off!
"Ah... Guardian."
After being given this role, being a moderator is no longer just about interacting more with people and getting paid for watching live streams and managing the comments.
Instead, one must constantly pay attention to the streamer's emotions, safeguard the chat atmosphere, and control the barrage of comments that could easily overwhelm the live stream, without ever letting one's guard down for a moment.
Thinking about it, the pressure is quite significant.
Therefore, Aiyin needs to carefully study this housing management operation manual.
Her written English is up to standard, and she is quite familiar with many internet memes due to frequent internet surfing, but there are still blind spots she doesn't know.
The housing management operation manual lists many controversial topics and memes, and explains them using the original sources. These need to be managed in a timely manner to avoid inciting conflict.
