There was no change.
I guess the tier difference at level 2 can’t be ignored.
Victory went to Kim Jae-jun, a platinum user.
Though Camilla hadn’t been played much, it was impressive how quickly she adapted after reading the skill descriptions and trying them out a few times.
You could say she has a good understanding of the game. It would be a waste for a user to play Lennok, who isn’t as cool or fun as Camilla.
“Camilla is good, right?”
“Yeah, it’s better than I thought… but since it’s 1v1, I feel like it’d be too chaotic to control in a team fight. Will my character even be visible?”
“But it’s still fun, right?”
Nod, nod—
In this gathering, the oldest, Kim Jae-jun, nodded silently, as if he hadn’t wasted his age.
I should keep having her play Camilla going forward. I was satisfied as I got the reaction I wanted.
“Ugh…”
On the other hand, Yusia was glum after losing to Kim Jae-jun. Was she that upset about losing? She had tears nearly welling up in her eyes without even realizing it.
“You did well too, Shia.”
It wasn’t just empty words – I meant it. The match consisted of three games, played in a best-of-five format.
Yusia wasn’t completely dominated by Kim Jae-jun. She managed to claim one set by landing the ultimate combo that only Camilla could perform, amidst Kim Jae-jun’s solid gameplay.
It was one of the combos I had showcased repeatedly at the training grounds while claiming to teach my viewers.
It seemed she wasn’t lying when she said she practiced Camilla while watching my streams.
If she could utilize that combo in a real match, she could definitely be considered a respectable Camilla user.
Although her tier was only silver and she lost to Kim Jae-jun, I felt her effort and spirit, so wasn’t that enough?
However, Yusia didn’t seem to accept my praise as she slowly lowered her head.
“So, since I lost, is it over now…? Is Jae-jun going to be the editor for KayakTube…?”
“Oh, about that.”
Yusia’s face radiated a deep sense of regret.
I pondered whether to tease her a bit more or not—then I decided to be honest upon seeing her face.
“I’m going to pick both of you.”
“Excuse me?”
“Both of you can be my editors. Since this has turned out this way, let’s operate with a dual system.”
KayakTube will run on a 24/7 rotating schedule!
Considering that successful VTubers have separate editing teams, hiring two employees is quite modest in comparison.
Writing can be said to be quite modest compared to that.
Of course, it’s rare to have two editors from the start, but if you think about investing a little more, it’s not impossible.
“Thank you, thank you!”
“Thank you for picking me, Boss.”
“Suddenly calling you Boss feels a bit weird.”
Yusia, who had stood up from the PC Bang chair, kept bowing at a 90-degree angle, while Kim Jae-jun exchanged a small nod with her.
The strange situation drew the attention of those around them, which felt oddly out of place.
“I’m fine with working unpaid….”
“Unpaid? Really? Then you’ll just boss me around without giving me any money?”
“Boss, I can’t do that. I need money.”
“Just kidding, just kidding. There’s no way I wouldn’t pay you.”
Despite the back and forth, both of them had made this decision because they liked each other. Both seemed like decent people with good personalities. It seemed meeting in person really was the best way, and a small smile crept onto his face.
“Shall we go grab dinner now? Let’s also talk about VTube.”
*
“So, it’s settled. Yes. So our friends, make sure to subscribe, like, and set notifications. You’ve got to do it enthusiastically, right?”
The newly created VTube channel, named ‘Kayak,’ had its cursor dancing around as they urged the viewers.
[Wow! VTube!]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1U3h5eVFqNkZKK0VuVVFEZmhPbjJVaG9HdGVRYXEwOWlVQmNuWUViN2lOWA
[You kept begging, and they finally made it for you.]
[So what are you doing with the editors? So what are you doing with the editors? So what are you doing with the editors?]
[What do you mean, they had an interview, right?]
[That interview wasn’t just any interview, hmmm…]
[So jealous of Kayak going on dates with the editors….]
[At least there are three of them, so that’s a relief.]
[Three means it’ll be even more chaotic.]
[Oh, come on.]
[Whoa.]
[Did you mention it like it’s a subscription?]
[There’s only one video so far, by the way.]
[Yeah~ not gonna do it~ why would I subscribe?]
“Huh, saying you won’t subscribe… that might make my heart feel a little bad…”
[Sorrysorrysorrysorry]
When Yusia hovered her mouse over a viewer’s nickname, it immediately started wagging its tail.
“Isn’t it all about making each other happy? Let’s just keep it nice and friendly. After all, picking two people means I’m spending double. You all said it too, pick both. The vote came out exactly even, so we got both. Therefore, you guys have to work hard to subscribe, watch the videos, and promote it around, right?”
“I pulled everything! So, you all need to work hard to subscribe, watch the videos, and promote it to those around you, right?”
[No mercy even for the subscribers, lol]
[Ah, lol, saying to subscribe to both Twitch and Vtube]
[I really didn’t expect to pick two people, oh yeah….]
[Older sister, I directly promoted you to those friends ㅠㅠ]
[Even threatened with a van, whoah, the tyrant Kayak]
[But seriously, does this person have a lot of money? How are they planning to pay two salaries?]
[A bold investment, indeed;;]
[Smart young man.]
[This guy is serious about Vtube, lol]
[If KayakTube is a hit, no problems at all]
[He says he’ll pay it back once he gets it~]
[If it doesn’t go well, I guess they’ll just cut one person]
“I don’t have much money. I’m not a golden spoon and I’m just doing broadcasts, so how would I have money? Right now, I’m spending what I saved up before, but, um. If it doesn’t go well, there will have to be adjustments. I might cut down to one editor or learn editing and run it by myself. Ah, let’s not talk about such gloomy things already, let’s have some hope. If it goes well, isn’t that good? And what do I need to do to succeed? You all need to help me a lot~.”
Fortunately, the money I earned while I was a man remained the same even after the world changed.
The bold investment I made was right now, and thanks to that, the suddenly soaring Kayak golden spoon theory.
I was blabbering on about how I was using the money I earned long ago.
<ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won!>
– Isn’t there an event for reaching 10,000 subscribers?
“Thank you for the 1,000 won donation. A 10,000 subscriber event? Isn’t 10,000 too early? I just barely passed 1,000.”
Honestly, even 1,000 was an amazing number from my perspective. Back then, I was barely even getting 100 views, and now I just casually surpassed 1,000 when I asked for subscriptions on the stream.
Even now, I’m still in shock and feeling good. I wonder if I might just end up making a ton of money through Vtube like this.
More than that, an event. An event. A 10,000 subscriber event….
“Well, I can’t think of anything right off the bat. Q&A? Isn’t that too boring? Let’s do a handcam… Wait, is the handcam I understand the same as yours? Riri-yang from That Strange Land, what are you talking about…. If you say things like that, I can’t use it. Let me cool my head for a moment. Oh, the editing team I met this time is also good at Abyss, how about we do content with Camilla’s lectures?”
[Not really drawn to any ideas]
[If there’s no handcam, at least a handcam]
[If we reach 1 million subscribers, will you do a full-body cam?]
[Whose dog name is a million?]
“What kind of dog name is that?”
“If we hit 100k, we should do a face reveal out of moral obligation!”
“Is the recent event for the game just 10k…?”
“You haven’t grasped the viewers’ needs properly, Teacher.”
“By the way, one of the editors is female. You know the one from the Women’s Paradise, right? Shiasia. She was super cute when I met her in person. Tier? Tier is silver.”
“Gasp!”
“Wait, are you serious?”
“She’s a hot girl!”
“Let’s teach the hot editor, go go go!”
“It’s already fun!”
“With Kayak and everything, there are a lot of girls in Paradise…”
“If we go by ratio, it ain’t that many, lol.”
“So, does that mean FanTube had a girl on either side while eating?”
“FanTube, you rascal!!!!”
If there’s a woman, it’s chaos. The easy reaction made me laugh unintentionally.
Revealing that Yusia is one of the editors already had her consent.
Yusia, identifying herself as female, took the initiative to manage the chat in my room. Basically, she was saying she would take on the role of a moderator.
When I asked if she could handle that along with editing, she said she’d do it in her spare time. After all, she’d be watching my broadcast anyway.
She mentioned that there were many chats that crossed the line, and if she didn’t manage them, things would get even worse.
I found that hard to believe. While I occasionally saw some incomprehensible chats, I thought it was fairly manageable.
However, since she offered to take charge, I saw no reason to decline, so I granted Yusia and Kim Jae-jun each the moderator’s title. There had also been talks of hiring a chat manager, and it seemed like a perfect opportunity.
“Anyway, we selected two editors. We’ve created a V-Tube channel. For the time being, we’ll aim for 1 video a day, so please show lots of interest. Today was just a casual update, so let’s keep it simple.”
The epic background music started playing, and the viewers began to cheer.
I’ve heard that some rooms see people leaving when they start a game, but it didn’t seem to be the case in ours.
That was a relief. I couldn’t chatter away for hours without a set topic, anyway.
The familiar screen lit up, and I immediately queued for a match.
“I’m going to climb the ranks. The tournament’s over, so I’ll slowly work on my score… What’s the goal? Well, I don’t have a specific one, but I should at least reach Challenger by the end of the season.”
The moment I said that, the queue was instantly set.
