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

"It's not just Black people; white people also have strong body odor, which is why Europeans and Americans like to use perfume and deodorant. East Asians naturally have smaller sweat glands, so they can also treat body odor through surgery."

After putting the pepper spray back in his pocket, Shimizu Toru explained, "That's why people from Europe and America are always surprised when they travel to Japan or Tokyo because supermarkets don't sell deodorant."

"Oh, I see. No wonder they smelled so good when I was collecting photos with those cosplayers earlier. They sprayed something on them."

"You guys are already pretty lucky. The convention just started and they haven't started sweating yet. If you go to take a photo with them in half an hour, you'll be exposed to a mix of perfume, sweat, and body odor. That's real torture."

No sooner had Shimizu Toru finished speaking than Ryudan-sama chimed in, "Toru, you were too impulsive just now. What if they had attacked us directly?"

"So I always have pepper spray in my hand. As long as they don't have a gun, I can spray them right in the eyes."

Security is guaranteed for such a large-scale comic convention, so it's unlikely that anyone would sneak in with a gun.

Moreover, in the United States, it's actually easier to buy rifles like the AR15 and M4A1 at gun stores.

Handguns like the M1911 and Glock, as well as body armor similar to ancient armor, are strictly regulated.

After all, long guns are hard to hide, but pistols can be tucked into the waistband. Paired with those big-pocket jeans, it's practically a mobile arsenal.

"It's still too dangerous outside. Let's hurry back to the hotel and try not to go out before heading to the airport tomorrow."

"Okay, we've bought almost everything we need, let's head back now."

After the two guys caused such a ruckus, everyone lost interest in continuing to visit the anime convention and decided to save their energy for C96 next month.

As for BW?

BW, which used to be held together with BML, has officially separated from BML this year. Otherwise, you could have browsed the booths after the show.

When Shimizu Toru and the others returned to the hotel, the first thing they did was to take separate showers.

The temperature in Los Angeles in July wasn't low, and with so many people at the comic convention, I definitely sweated a lot.

"There's already a recording on YouTube? That's fast, and the number of views isn't low either."

Because he can accurately reply to the comments from Western viewers, Toru Hanyu is quite popular overseas; otherwise, he wouldn't have received performance invitations.

Nijisanji's EN group's first generation members won't debut until 21, but Shimizu Toru thinks that with his own debut, Tazumi Riku might start exploring the European and American markets earlier.

Speaking of which, Sheila is graduating this year, so maybe she can make it into the first generation of trainees?

However, the first and second generations of EN were not that far apart in terms of time. Oh no, I should say that the debut times of each batch of new members of Nijisanji were actually quite close.

Volume 1: Chapter 126 The First Collaboration with Suzuhara Lulu

On July 12th, after living together for a week, Longdanzun was finally coaxed by Shimizu Toru into sleeping in the same quilt once.

Unfortunately, Nutto Noah is too shy. So far, she only dares to sneak up on him when no one is around, give him a kiss on the cheek, and then disappear.

After being run away from her again, Shimizu Toru touched his cheek helplessly: "At least change the position, what's the meaning of kissing me on the cheek every time?"

The live stream was about to start, otherwise Shimizu Tomo would definitely have caught up and taken a big bite of the other person's lipstick.

Today's collaboration was initiated by Otogihara Eryoshi, and since he's the only one participating at the same time, we should give him his name.

The game we played was Overcooked, a game that can end friendships if you play with four people online.

The other two besides him are Tong Tian Meiji, who is in the same fairy tale group as Jiang Liang, and Suzuhara Lulu, who has already won the silver shield in less than three months.

Although the latter has a different style from Otogihara Eryo, the number of viewers during each live stream is almost the same, both at the level of 6000+, which is already in the top ten in Nijisanji.

In terms of concurrent viewership, Yue Zhi Mei Tu is undoubtedly the best. Because she doesn't stream often, her ability to create engaging content is outstanding, resulting in an average concurrent viewership of an astonishing 14,000.

Secondly, the water was clear and transparent, because I had done several big jobs with a maximum of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan each, and the average was over 10,000 yuan each.

The third and fourth are Liz and Ange, childhood sweethearts, both earning over 8,000, though they aren't quite that high yet.

"Moshi moshi~ Can you hear me?"

Upon entering the language channel, Toru Shimizu greeted everyone first: "Good evening, I'm Toru Hanyu."

"Yu, Yuzuru-senpai! Good evening!!"

A voice, clear enough to match that of Otogihara Eri, rang out, because among the four, only Suzuhara Lulu was his junior, so the answer was self-evident.

"Huh? Lulu seems to be afraid of Toru-kun?" Tongtian, the unacknowledged eleven-year-old Meiji, chimed in with curiosity.

"It's probably because it was our first time meeting. We'll get along better once we get to know each other."

As soon as Shimizu Toru finished speaking, Suzuhara Lulu subconsciously replied, "No, no, I've met my senior at the company."

"Huh? When? I haven't been to the company in a while. The last time I went was at the end of May."

But I didn't run into any other colleagues at the time; I only saw staff.

"No, not May, it was April, before I even debuted."

Hearing Suzuhara Lulu's words, Shimizu Toru was even more confused. When did he meet Lulu before she debuted?

He thought about it carefully and finally realized a possibility: "You're not talking about headquarters, are you?"

"Yes! It was headquarters. I had just passed the interview and was about to sign the contract..."

As Suzuhara Lulu spoke, her tone became increasingly fearful: "Then I saw the president bowing to his senior. I... I'm not going to be silenced by him, am I??"

"So it was you back then. You've misunderstood. I'm not some big shot of Chinese descent, and the president wasn't bowing to me."

Shimizu Toru never expected that one day he would be regarded as a playboy who enjoys life, and he was both amused and exasperated.

The scene where Riku Tadakatsu suddenly stood up and shook hands with him over the desk could indeed be easily misinterpreted.

Given that Suzuhara Lulu has probably read too many light novels, and I wonder what kind of plot she's imagined, it's no wonder she's being so cautious.

"Really, really not?"

"...Why don't you believe me? Forget it, let's just start the live stream and leave this topic at that."

With Shimizu Toru's urging, the four-person live stream finally began—and then he discovered that this lousy game truly lived up to its nickname, "Breakup Kitchen."

He has a very good temper. He has never lost his temper or yelled since his debut. Even when playing Soul Travel, his emotions are unusually stable.

But today, I was almost driven to the brink of collapse by the various high-tension tactics of Otogihara Eryo and Douda Meiji.

"The tomatoes and cucumbers aren't even cut, why are you throwing them at me?!"

"The pot's burnt! Quick, grab the fire extinguisher!!"

"We're running out of plates! Go wash the plates!"

"Is that thing around your necks just an ornament?! Or do you think you can sell your nearly new brains for a higher price?!"

"Can shrimp and meat be confused? If you don't need your eyes anymore, you can donate them to someone in need!"

Suzuhara Lulu, who was initially a little afraid of Shimizu Toru due to a misunderstanding, is now genuinely scared.

As a native of Japan, this was the first time she had ever heard someone so sharp-tongued; she had never heard of such a way of cursing before.

Although I had heard before that Shimizu Toru's lips were as potent as if they were poisoned, I had only heard about it and had never seen any related videos.

Now experiencing it firsthand from a first-person perspective, her only thought is that it's a good thing she played it with friends before; otherwise, she would have been in trouble.

In short, this live stream was a complete mess, no wonder it was a live stream for both Shimizu Toru and Otogihara Eri.

But the smiles didn't disappear; they just shifted to other people's faces, and the chat in the four-person live stream was filled with "www" the entire time.

As soon as the live stream ended, Shimizu Toru couldn't help but tweet: "I hereby announce that I am severing all ties with Jiang Liang for 24 hours!"

Immediately, someone eager for drama replied: "So you don't have any classmates then?"

[Toru Hanyu: It's better to have no patients than to have a hypertension attack and be admitted to the ICU]

Just as I was about to leave Twitter, I heard Lily calling from outside the bedroom: "Tohru~ I want to play Overcooked too, how about a collaboration with Rion and Mikoto tomorrow?"

"Then just kill me! I'll never touch this game again in my lifetime!"

This kind of mental torture is enough once; if I were to experience it again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist punching the computer screen and smashing it.

"But I really want to play games with Tohru. The last time we collaborated was with Midori and the others, playing Human: Fall Flat."

"Don't rush, let me think of some other suitable games first. If all else fails, we can play Twin Tales without anyone else."

As for why it wasn't a trip in pairs?

Because Two People is a 21-year-old game that hasn't been released yet, while Twins is a 13-year-old game.

The Twins, Two People, and Two Shadows are all by the same author, Josef Fares, a typical example of someone who found his comfort zone and simply settled in.

What kind of transformation? What kind of breakthrough? Will it affect my chances of winning the Player of the Year award?

"Then it's settled, your time is mine tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, aren't you worried that I'll lose my temper and yell at you too?"

"Hehe~ That's exactly why I came here, remember to yell at me a few more times tomorrow~"

"...You guys are really masochistic."

Volume 1: Chapter 127 The Ghost Festival and ghost stories go even better together!

After fulfilling Lily's wish and giving her a sharp tongue during the collaboration, time came to the Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Today, Tsukino Mito made a rare appearance on a live stream and launched a project called Hyakumonogatari, which is essentially a collection of ghost stories and ghost tales.

The specific way to play is to gather together late at night, light a hundred candles, and then take turns telling various ghost stories.

Similar ghost story activities are more common in Japan, after all, it's a place where almost everyone has played with Ouija boards.

Rabbit Head also did this project last year, and this year is the second phase. It has also changed from a one-person storytelling to a relay-style collaboration.

Tsukino Mito served as the MC, and the other participants took turns speaking, with Shimizu Toru being the tenth speaker.

In front of him was Elu, who had collaborated with him before. The character switched between several voices and told a rather scary story with immersive acting skills.

“In high school, I had a very good friend who would invite me to his house.”

“Once, he said he was going to the convenience store to buy some food, and after he left, I followed him downstairs because I was bored.”

"My friend's apartment is at a busy intersection with heavy pedestrian traffic. When I reached the crosswalk, the light was red, and I saw my friend waving at me from the other side."

"Just then I noticed something next to the guardrail. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a bunch of flowers. I thought to myself, after all, it's such a big intersection, so it's normal for accidents to happen occasionally."

Suddenly, a terrifying-looking old woman grabbed his hand: "You can't stare at those things for too long."

“I was quite startled, but I quickly stopped staring at the bouquet of flowers. The old woman continued, ‘He’s already noticed you. Don’t turn around. Just keep your head down and go to your friend.’”

“‘Okay, okay! I’m coming right now!’ Just then, the green light finally came on, and I quickly ran to my friend’s side.”

He looked at me and said, 'Are you going to the convenience store too? Let's go together, but...'

"'The way you were talking to yourself just now was terrifying.' Huh? Alone??"

After the story was finished, Tsukino Mito gasped, "Hiss~ So cold, so cold!"

"Hi~ that's roughly the story. By the way, I completely believe that souls exist in this world."

"Thank you for the story, Elu-chan. Could you please blow out one of the candles?"

The background of Tsukino Mito's live stream was also adjusted according to Hyakumonogatari, with the main subject being a wooden round table with seven or eight candles on it.

After each story is told, if the story passes the test, the person is invited to blow out a cigarette. Each story is short, lasting only about five minutes.

Of course, it's impossible to gather a hundred ghost stories, since Nijisanji doesn't even have a hundred members yet, and some people aren't suited to ghost stories.

For example, manatees and sunflowers, no matter how you try, can't create a scary atmosphere; they just make people want to laugh as soon as they open their mouths.

After Elu, Shimizu Toru took the stage immediately. His storytelling style was the same as the former, relying on his voice and acting skills to win over the audience.

"It is said that children under the age of three can see ghosts. My grandmother once told me this herself, which made me believe it without a doubt."

"That was sixteen years ago, when I was still living in my old home in the countryside. There was an old man in the same village who kept a black cat."

"He is probably over seventy years old. He is usually in good health and goes to tend to his vegetable garden every morning with a hoe."

“That day, I had just finished breakfast when I saw him leaning on his hoe, sighing and looking down. I couldn’t help but ask him what was bothering him.”

He replied, "My sons are all working away from home. This land has been passed down from generation to generation, and it seems it will eventually die out with me."

“If you ever meet my son again, please pass on a message: tell him not to let the land go to waste; even planting some sweet potatoes would be good.”

"After he finished speaking, he carried the hoe and went back home. Later, I told my grandmother about it, and she was shocked."

“‘That man died last night, clutching a hoe tightly in his hand. His cat kept meowing, which is how his body was discovered.’”

"My grandma said that the old man's cat kept meowing for seven days, and then suddenly stopped meowing after seven days. No one has seen the cat since."
