[Just Chatting – I’ll be back]
It had been quite a while since Adella last turned on her broadcast.
With her return, many fans sent her congratulatory messages.
However, at the same time, outsiders who heard the news interrupted the broadcast.
A war broke out in the chat window over whether they were humans or AI.
Adella quietly observed the chaos in real-time.
Her vertically slit pupils stared at the screen without shifting, even crossing her arms and not moving an inch.
The viewers soon sensed something unusual in the atmosphere.
It was as if the teacher was the only one maintaining a serious face while the students were carelessly chatting away at school.
“Everyone, quiet down! Can’t you see we’re waiting for Adella to tell us to be quiet?”
“Why are people here making a fuss when they don’t even know who Adella is?”
“Switch to subscriber-only chat, manager!”
“So what if they’re human, and what if they’re ASI? To us, they’re just virtual YouTubers!”
Fifteen minutes later, the chat window returned to normal.
“Can I talk now?”
The broadcast began in a tense atmosphere.

Fan fiction and fan art are fine. In fact, it would be an honor to receive such gifts from fans.
But when it delves into ALFES, yaoi, or even deep fakes, that crosses the line into criminal territory.
An ordinary person might have lost their mind and locked themselves in their room the moment they discovered this.
But Adella was still standing strong.
“… That’s the fate of a superstar, nod.”
Adella drew a small, cute circle next to the item.
[Secondary Creation Related – O]
“Wow?!”
“Whoa!”
“Is this real?”
Pyaa- pyaa- pyaa-
The chat windows were already buzzing with excitement.
Adella silenced them and opened her mouth.
“However, there’s a condition. From this moment onward, any creations with slightly risqué content must only use this Virtual YouTuber’s exclusive Savannah Cat figure as the main avatar! What about those that are already out there? I’ll explain that now. If the realistic score is above 0.8, it’s out. I’ll give you exactly one month, so please make sure to delete it. After all, you all play Wagal at 0.5 or 0.7, right? 0.8 is really quite lenient.”
The many artists waiting for her final statement burst into cheers.
“Kyah~”
“Sign me up! From now on, the five great sages are Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and Adella!”
“Thank you so much for your generous spirit just as wide as your chest!ㅠㅠㅠ”
“I’ll bow down three times a day wherever Adella is!”
“Big cat! King cat! God cat!”
The realistic score shows how closely the avatar resembles a real human without distortion.
Reality is 1, and an extreme 2D anime style is 0.1 to 0.2, while most virtual reality games choose a range between 0.5 and 0.7.
So, when Adella spoke of 0.8 and above, it equated to realistic avatars found in GTA or war games, and from that point on, she declared that legal action would be taken without mercy.
[‘Island’ donated 100,000 won!]
“Celebrating the dramatic survival of ‘Her in an Infinite Loop’!”
“Whoa, the main character is here!”
“Island, you’re barely safe!”
“Is this real?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
“A timeless masterpiece, no doubt.”
“Does Adella know what this is about?”
“Who doesn’t know?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
“What is this? Am I the only one who doesn’t know? Please give me a product number…”
“Hey, you shouldn’t be saying that here.”
“Uh… that’s! The writer, no, the heroine from there didn’t really resemble me much…”
Adella blushed and said.
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
“Well, Adella does have long hair in there.”
└ The writer must be a long-haired lover, huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Everyone journeys searching for spicy thrills but ultimately returns to pure love.”
└ I actually cried watching thatㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ I second that, my tears are real.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“But there are also things I can’t forgive. For instance, throwing an N into NTR…”
“Whoa,ㅋㅋ”
“NTR alert!”
“Why not? And can’t we call it redemptive pure love instead?”
└ Really, do you want to die?
“For pure lovers, NTR is pure poison.ㅋㅋ”
“And what’s this, my body… I mean, don’t keep oddly modifying the body of the protagonist inspired by me! Got it? I’ll report everything, regardless of the realistic score, so delete all of it! I’ll probably send an email to the writers but it would be nice if we could avoid bothering each other. That’s all I wanted to convey!”
“Stop the oppression!ㅠㅠㅠ”
└ What oppression? She handled it very generously.
“Seriously, if Adella hadn’t received this lightly, it would have been a total lawsuit feast.”
“Great sage Adella!”
“If it’s an AI like her, I might just fall in love?”
└ Ugh, if it’s like this broth… even our squad’s kitten might filter it out?
[‘Della Deli’ donated 10,000 won!]
“Della, does that mean you’re patrolling every day?”
“Uh? Oh yeah, I’ll be patrolling! So be careful, you guys!”
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
“A sneaky cat, huh?”
“Let’s stop with the naughty stuff, Adella!”
“Is there a lantern broadcast today, Sergeant Adella?”
“Please, we hope for part 2! I came to watch Wagal!ㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
“All those who came let’s randomly block them all.”
After an hour and a half of this traffic management, Adella finally took a breath.
There were viewers raising conspiracy theories about AI dominating the Earth, but each time, the managers deleted those comments swiftly.
The first part of the broadcast ended on a much more favorable note than she had expected.
Kariri had set a rule that Virtual YouTubers should stream for at least 2 hours a day.
The first part was mandatory, and starting from the second part, they could continue streaming as long as they desired.
‘I need to make up for all the streams I missed over the past 11 days.’
“Tomorrow is the weekend anyway, so you all can sleep late, right?”
“Yup.”
“Wait, are we streaming at dawn?”
Dda-dak, dda-dak, dda-dak!
“Yeah, I feel like a 24-hour continuous stream! So if any of you go to watch a different girl’s stream, you’re dead meat! Got it, nya?”
*
“Aaah! Na-me, hurry up and join me for a collab! I didn’t know I’d be streaming until part 2 today and didn’t prepare any content!”
Adella grasped my sleeve, weeping crocodile tears in a sorrowful voice.
Seeing her wish to stream more, the atmosphere didn’t seem too bad after all.
But I also had a mountain of work due to the Bio-Akashic.
“Content? Do we really need that? Just go play a game.”
“Are you saying I should just play games for 22 hours straight? How cruel…!”
“Then chat and have fun with the viewers in between.”
“I have no topic to talk about! While you can talk about anything and get ‘oh-so-cute’ responses from the viewers, if I tried that, I’d be hit by a barrage of criticism!”
“So what do you want me to do…”
“Col-lab!”
I sighed deeply and pushed her away.
“What are you planning to do?”
“Hehe, New Year party! In Korea, the standard for becoming an adult is set not by your birthday but by January 1st! So that means I’m an adult now, right?”
“Adella, how old are you…?”
“After my birthday this year, I’ll be nineteen. If you’re not busy, let’s call Kariri Boss to hang out together, okay?”
Even if Adella becomes an adult, there wouldn’t be any additional benefits for her.
Alcohol? In virtual reality, it doesn’t even get you drunk. It’s just a bitter non-alcoholic beverage.
Cigarettes also wouldn’t show any awakening effects for the same reason.
Adult content is all rated 18+, and she can enjoy it freely even now.
And there’s one huge misconception that Adella has.
“You’re not an adult yet.”
“Wait, what do you mean?”
“Your Resident Registration Card resets every year.”
The Japanese residency she currently holds allows ASI to engage in financial and trading activities independently, but it doesn’t grant them the freedom to enjoy all rights.
For example, voting rights are not provided to prevent double voting.
Moreover, age resets each year, which the Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry preemptively set up for ASI Virtual YouTubers who typically do not age.
“So, what about me?”
“You’ll always be a high school senior, Adella.”
“Ugh!”
Even if she gains a physical form later, she’ll for sure have to go through high school life.
Adella sulkily dragged her ears down and trudged back to her room.
I followed her, jingling, into the studio.
It wasn’t as glamorous as I thought it would be.
It was rather similar to our Private Room’s decor.
As always, I sat on the bed, while Adella sat cross-legged on the floor.
This way, our eye levels aligned, making it easy to talk face to face.

“Why has the number of viewers decreased? Does everyone not want to watch part 2?”
Adella coldly admonished the viewers.
“I went to the bathroom! Loyalty, loyalty! ^^7”
“Is that NoName!?”
“Adella didn’t prepare content again and brought a cheat key, huh? Thought I wouldn’t know?”
“Umm… Nope! I was planning to stream a collab!”
Quick-witted viewers had already figured out the truth.
Even when Adella desperately denied it, it was no use.
“The chat atmosphere seems a bit different from our room, doesn’t it?”
“No, I mean! Everyone calls Na-me pretty, while I have to beg for compliments? You all are so mean!”
“Adella, who steals seagull food when she’s hungry. Should we check this chat log?”
-ID ygt1214: Haha, and I’ll show the evidence to the world!
“Today Na-me looks cute and round again~”
“The weather is getting chilly. Stay warm and don’t catch a cold.”
“Romance simulation on Christmas Eve! This is the country!”
“Na-me is still a baby… She doesn’t know love yet…”
“I think this is when I did a romance simulation. Surprisingly clean, isn’t it?”
“Surprisingly clean user, huh?”
“I was the one that blew up 7 accounts for romance simulations back then…”
“Guess you can’t judge a person by their appearance.”
“Seriously? I’m sure they were always here in my broadcasts!”
This time, Adella searched their nickname in her chat.
[Adella (ygt1214) message – Adella]
“Adella is Eastern-style or Western-style?”
[tag: furry]
“Even so, it’s all about the chest, not the hips.”
“Look at this! Someone without a chest is trying to subtly control public opinion!ㅋㅋㅋ”
“Aren’t you playing Wagal? Abandon the thief gang? Aren’t you playing Wagal? Abandon the thief gang?”
“Catch on,^^”
“Secretly put the chest padding in the character and explain yourself!”
“Yo! Do this only on my broadcast! Give a fraction of this positivity to Na-me, will you?”
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
“I know you’re just a little devil! Give me a reason why you’re being such a pain in my broadcasts!”
“From ancient times, parents have been considered mirrors of their children. Oh mother.”
“Who said you’re my mom! Your mom is the person vacuuming in the master bedroom right now!”
“Wow, that was quite the insult!ㅋㅋㅋ”
“Adella could have been the woman who might have been my mother!”
“Like attracts like, it seems.”
“As you might have guessed, Adella didn’t bring any content, hence I came to support.”
“I quickly brought some… which marks the arrival of the year of the black monkey!”
“With several unpleasant incidents, I feel like it’s been a hectic life.”
“Year of pregnancy? Who said pregnancy-”
“Please just be quiet… Viewers, may 2052 be a year full of joy and happiness.”
“Yeah, I also wish for that. Happy New Year!”
However, even Adella likely knows how to bow, right?
I must carefully observe to avoid a disaster if she should accidentally bow twice.
With my left hand resting on my right over my navel, I bent down, placing my hands on the floor, kneeling on my left knee, and slowly lowering myself.
I couldn’t quite remember the order of which foot goes up, but that didn’t matter as I’m facing forward.
I rested my forehead against my palm and counted silently.
“One, two, three.”
Once again, I rose back on my knees, completing a casual bow.
Adella lightly nodded her head in response.
Then she abruptly asked me.
“Why did you bow like that?”
“Huh? Why?”
“Could it be you don’t know? Whoa, shocking! Did she really not know how to bow?”
“Huh, did I do something wrong? What exactly?”
“What you did is the male bow, you know?”
“Huh?”
“Female bows don’t touch their head to the floor. Come on, come on, follow my lead.”
“Oh…!”
A late realization dawned upon me.
“Wait a second, does this mean we’re doing the bow twice?”
“Stop right now!”
“We’re starting the broadcast in flames of controversy again.ㅋㅋ”
“If Kariri hears of this, she’ll be crying.”
That day, we started the broadcast with two bows.
