In the land of Atlantis, referred to as the existence of legends from an ultra-ancient civilization.
But it is not just a simple legend.
In the past, it lost its power due to an attack from another ultra-ancient civilization and merely fled. It was a civilization that truly existed.
And now, they have returned to reclaim their glorious past!

Today marks the debut of my first junior, Kaguya Aoba from Star’s Flow Class 3.
Unlike before, Class 3 has unified their concept and chosen the group name Atlas, fitting the story that they came from Atlantis.
[【First Broadcast】You lot, become citizens of Atlantis! #Star’sFlowClass3#KaguyaAoba]
– Thump thump
– Curious about the voice
Kaguya’s avatar featured captivating aqua-colored wavy hair that flowed down to her knees.
She stood at 145cm tall, which is 1cm taller than Suzuha Koga, but her youthful appearance clearly aimed at the “loli” demographic.
Well, Suzuha Koga may be short, but judging by the broadcast atmosphere and appearance, she definitely doesn’t fit the “loli” category.
Glub glub…
– Started
– Opening video?
Kaguya’s opening video began with bubbles rising from the deep sea.
A massive city submerged underwater. It was clear that this was Atlantis, no explanations needed.
The scene then transitioned to a room.
In the middle of a messy room, there was an illustration of Kaguya sitting cross-legged.
The video slowly zoomed into Kaguya, and she seemed to gaze as if looking beyond the screen, raising the corners of her mouth.
– So cute!
…Honestly, just like the chatroom said, she was overwhelmingly cute.
The atmosphere around her seemed splendid, but the Kaguya sitting in the middle, looking like an adorable girl, was simply inevitable.
No, perhaps that was what emphasized Kaguya’s cuteness even more.
Anyway, as Kaguya’s smile rose, the opening video ended, and the screen went dark.
And then…
[Is it true that there are so many otakus waiting for my broadcast?!]
Kaguya’s voice flowed out, signaling the start of the broadcast.
★
[Hehehe… So this is how amazing my hometown Atlantis is, it can’t even be compared to your so-called utopia. So it’s better for you to willingly join me!]
Kaguya was… very skilled at broadcasting.
It was almost pitiful in comparison to my first broadcast.
Well, my debut was a level of embarrassment compared to anyone from Star’s Flow, honestly…
[So, first, let’s talk about my fan name! I’m a very important person, leader of Atlas, you know! So I want a fittingly amazing fan name!]
Finally, the time for the fan name, arguably the highlight of any VTuber’s first broadcast, approached.
What fan name would Kaguya be given?
Personally, I thought “Aotomo” suited her best, but that’s just my opinion.
– Aotomo
And it seemed that most viewers thought similarly, as the chatroom filled with “Aotomo.”
– Kaguya Crew
[…Kaguya Crew! I think that’s the best!]
However, what caught Kaguya’s attention wasn’t Aotomo, but Kaguya Crew.
…Wait, what? Is the fan name something the VTuber gets to choose?
Then why was mine named Izutomo…?
Well, I’m still extremely pleased with it right now.
[Of course, I’m a remarkable person! I can take you otakus as subordinates, but I can’t be your friend.]
– Huh?
– Is this girl a total brat?
That statement ignited the chatroom, but Kaguya nonchalantly brushed it off, continuing her talk.
If that had been me, I would have been overwhelmed by those kinds of chats, unable to continue properly, ending the broadcast feeling scolded.
Why is it that Kaguya, despite being my junior, seems far more impressive than I am…?
[Now, now. Before we end the first broadcast, if you have any questions, I’ll personally answer them!]
– Have you talked with the seniors?
[Ah, of course. Do you know? The Star’s Flow seniors are… incredibly kind. So once I take over the utopia, I’ll make sure to reward them greatly.]
Indeed, our members are all kind. They talk to someone like me every day.
And from the last group call, it seemed that the Class 3 members are all really nice people too.
Of course, since it was a group call, I was silent the whole time, but it was clear from listening that they were all good individuals.
Especially Tsurusaki, I felt a strange sense of comfort, as if she was my kindred spirit.
We haven’t had a one-on-one chat yet.
Having known each other for such a short time, a personal call would be too daunting, right?
For now, we’d need at least a month to gradually get to know each other.
– What does it mean to take over uUtopia?
[Huh? I mean it in the literal sense. I’ll make all the people of the utopia my subordinate under Atlas and take them all to Atlantis. That way, I can resurrect the glorious past of Atlantis!]
– So your goal is XX million subscribers…
– Isn’t that a bit too high?
[That just means I’m aiming for something truly great! …Oh, I think I just made a cool statement. Now, it’s time for you to praise me!]
– Middle schooler tone loli
– Something we never had in Star’s Flow
– If I join Atlas’s crew, what’s the salary?
[There’s no chance of that! I’m in a position where if the maid doesn’t prepare my meal, I have to go to the convenience store and buy rice balls myself.]
– You should cook for yourself
[Sorry, but I have entrusted all this to the maids since I was little, so I can’t do those things.]
It’s clear that by unifying the concept this way, it allows for a natural mention of peers.
Though I’ve seen groups with this vibe in the VTuber industry before, it feels particularly fresh since I’m on the broadcasting side this time.
[So, today’s broadcast ends here. Tomorrow, my tutor will come, so take care!]
– For Atlas!
★
Thus, for three days after Kaguya’s debut broadcast, the broadcasts of the Class 3 members of Atlas continued.
They were all incredibly skilled at broadcasting, making me feel like I was just shrinking away…
…Well, I think that even when I watched the broadcasts of my seniors and peers, I felt the same. The seniors started their broadcasts way before me, and my peers all have their own “previous lives,” so it’s expected…
But these Class 3 members debuted a whole year later than me, so is it really strange I feel this way?
Of course, they all have their “previous lives,” and include that in their history, they are way more experienced in the VTuber industry than I am…
Anyway, it leaves me with mixed feelings.
But today is fine!
Today marks the final debut broadcast of the Class 3 members with Tsurusaki’s turn!
From the group call in the Miscord, I thought of her as a kindred spirit, so I should be able to watch comfortably.
At that moment, I thought so.
[【First Broadcast】I am the bodyguard from Atlas, Tsukasa Tsurusaki… #Star’sFlowClass3#TsukasaTsurusaki]
– Who is your favorite senior from Star’s Flow?
[My favorite senior, huh? I think everyone is admirable, but among them, my absolute favorite is… it has to be Izumi-senpai….]
…Huh?
– Izutomo?
[Yeah… I’ve been following your broadcasts since your first one… The moment membership opened, I joined immediately. I applied to Star’s Flow to follow Izumi-senpai….]
– You admire Mei-chan?!
This is insane.
Someone applied to Star’s Flow because they admired me.
Am I becoming an extraordinary person who can be a pivotal choice in someone’s life…?!
[If only you would broadcast every day. No, even just being alive would be enough…. Just please, I don’t need you to know a junior like me exists. I just want to be beside you quietly.]
– Hey
– That ambiance is seriously dangerous
– We have a dangerous one here
– Mei-chan, run away!
…Huh?
[Kaguya-senpai’s pure and cute side is just too lovely…. Even the parts where you stutter are adorable….]
…Oh, Tsurusaki has her debut broadcast tomorrow, right?
I should go to bed early tonight.
