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

"Hey, connect the speakers, I'll sing two songs first."

Suddenly called out by Shimizu Toru, Sa-chan noticed that the audience's attention had also shifted to her, and she hurriedly fled: "Okay, okay! I'll go right now!"

"I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hello everyone~ I'm Toru Hanyu, a virtual transfer student from 2434. Did everyone manage to buy the doujinshi they wanted today?"

"I got it!"

"not yet!"

Two completely different answers rang out at the same time, making Shimizu Toru chuckle: "Those who haven't bought it yet should hurry up, we also have a lot of new merchandise at our booth today."

He had promoted products once before at a Hakodate live event, so he was quite familiar with the process today and naturally started introducing them:

"In addition to my personal merchandise, there are also official art books, badges, standees, figurines and other merchandise. Quantities are limited, so act fast!"

Although his merchandise sells very well, he is, after all, a member of Nijisanji, and since it was the company's first time participating in a commercial, the variety and quantity of the merchandise they prepared were somewhat insufficient, so of course they had to help out.

The product promotion had just ended when the intro to OVDose started playing, and the scene immediately switched to a solo live performance.

Almost half a year after its release, this song finally surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, making it the slowest-growing of his songs.

After the verse ended, the chorus suddenly turned into a massive sing-along by the entire audience.

"Ovdose, in these days of feeling lost and forlorn with you, I long to have a hazy, indistinct dream."

"Ovdose, amidst your sweet nothings and forced words, don't stop it, darling~"

Although the number of people was small, not enough to support a small live performance of a few hundred, the scene of the entire audience singing together was truly breathtaking.

I wish that one day I could see this scene in places like the Budokan or Tokyo Dome, where tens of thousands of people gather.

After singing all of his original songs and interacting with the audience, Shimizu Toru finally waved goodbye.

Once backstage, the first thing he did was take off the mascot costume, emerging drenched in sweat.

"Your hair is soaking wet! Come on! Quickly change into these clean clothes!"

Longdan Zun, who was prepared in advance, handed over a white T-shirt, which was probably a spare item for the comic convention volunteers.

After thoroughly soaking herself in water, she removed her shirt, which was so wet it could wring out two bottles of water, and dried her hair and body with a towel before putting it back on.

As for his pants and underwear, he'll just have to keep wearing them for now; he never expected this to happen.

"Hey~ have you thought about how you're going to make it up to me?"

Hearing that sinister tone, Jiang, who was hiding in the corner trying to make herself inconspicuous, froze: "Eh, uh..."

"Fine, I was just kidding. But if you make another mistake tomorrow, don't expect me to come to your rescue again."

They were old partners who had known each other since before they went into adulthood, and Shimizu Toru wouldn't ask the company to change his manager just because of what happened today.

—That's right, it's an agent, not an operations manager.

After receiving investment from multiple capital firms, Nijisanji finally broke away from its original makeshift operations and began to develop into a professional talent agency.

Small-time operators like Jiang have unexpectedly become agents, mainly because she is most familiar with Shimizu Toru.

As the undisputed top star of Nijisanji, and the pillar who single-handedly generates half of the company's revenue, it would be crazy for Riku Tazumi to suddenly replace him with a complete stranger as his manager.

"Here's some electrolyte water. You've sweated so much, you need to replenish your fluids."

After taking the water that Lily had specially bought for him, Qing Shui Tou took a sip and commented, "It doesn't feel as good as Red Bull."

"There's no Red Bull in the vending machine. If you want some, you'll have to go to a convenience store."

It seems that CM's operations are much more conscientious than domestic comic conventions, as they even use vending machines.

If you lived at Dongda University, a bottle of Nongfu Spring would cost five yuan, a bottle of soda ten yuan, and a hamburger thirty yuan—take it or leave it.

"Tou, I just checked your stall, and everything's been sold out! Aren't your fans a little crazy?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Noa's words, Shimizu Toru stood up and glanced towards the stall.

Indeed, his own stall was completely empty, while the company's stalls still had more than half unsold.

Hmm, thankfully this isn't ancient times, otherwise, his achievements would definitely have overshadowed the emperor, and his next choice would have been either to retire and wait to die or to control the army of the entire country.

"Didn't you apply for a booth at VSPO?"

"No, the company hasn't decided to develop any merchandise yet. It's just Hinano and the others playing around with it."

"Oh, they're here too! How about we go get some barbecue after we're done shopping?"

There are a few other people in VSPO, and I haven't met Shimizu Toru yet. This is a good opportunity to get to know them all.

"Okay, I'll go tell Hinano and the others right away. See you later!"

After Hu Tao Nuoya finished speaking, she ran off, seemingly knowing the location of the others and heading off to find them.

"Then I'll reserve a private room first, otherwise it won't be convenient for more than a dozen people to sit in the main hall."

After finishing her sentence, Rion Takamiya took out her phone and, using her Diamond VIP status, booked a large private room at the Jojoen Hotel.

Of course, these large private rooms are usually not booked in advance. If one branch doesn't have them, another branch will.

"I'm so excited to finally meet Lianjun today!" Just thinking about meeting her best friend in person made Yu Yang Lili incredibly excited.

"VSPO is full of cute girls, it's so nice~" Rindan Zun, who also likes to be affectionate, said with a hint of envy in his voice.

"Then you guys continue browsing the anime convention. I'll go back and change my pants. We'll meet at Xuxuyuan later."

"OK~"

Volume 1: Chapter 159 Treating the entire VSPO team to barbecue

More than an hour later, at a bookstore called "Shushuen" in Jiangdong Ward, Shimizu Toru met the other members of VSPO.

Little Sparrow, Ichinose Rei, Sora Sumire Sena, Kisaragi Rei.

Including those already known—Hanae Sumire, Hanae Nazuna, Eri Lisa, Tachibana Hinano, Usagi Mimi, and Kurumi Noa—these ten people now constitute the entire VSPO membership.

Although VPSPO later became the third largest player in the market, it was not a company that relied on sheer numbers to succeed.

Even six years later, with the addition of ten members from the two overseas divisions of EN and CN, there were only thirty-three people in total.

This number is not even comparable to Nijisanji, let alone Anne. Anne, just the main branch, already had fifth generation members in 20.

The fact that VSPO members could become the third box with fewer than the first two boxes, even by a third or a fifth of the number of people, shows that each of them has their own charm.

Besides the fact that each streamer spends several hours at a time, often staying up all night, and that they specialize in FPS games while also playing other types of games, there's also the fact that they're involved in other games as well.

The biggest difference between VSPO and other projects is that they often collaborate with others, and it's not limited to VTubers.

Retired professional gamers, YouTube game streamers, and the like are all within their scope of collaboration.

Especially in multiplayer online games like GTA 5 Online, Ark: Survival Evolved, and League of Legends, their unique charm is most evident.

It's probably because Anne is an idol project, and frequent collaborations with the opposite sex could easily cause Gachi fans to lash out, and Nijisanji's internal collaborations are too numerous to handle.

vspo fans are very open-minded about streamers engaging in intimate interactions with members of the opposite sex; the Oreapo pairing of Tachibana Hinano and Kamito is the most typical example.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Shimizu Toru. Please don't introduce yourselves yet, let me guess."

Since it was already offline, he simply gave his real name to avoid having to explain it again later.

As Shimizu Toru spoke, he looked at the petite girl among them and said, "You must be Kozuki-san, right?"

Little Sparrow blinked and nodded in surprise, "Hmm, how did you guess that?"

"Duh~ It's because you're the shortest!" Mimi Usagi revealed the answer directly.

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮, you talk like you're some tall person."

"Hehe~ Being a senior in high school is still tall, at least I'm not last anymore."

Ignoring the two children arguing, Shimizu Toru looked at the other girl with the most distinctive appearance, who had medium-length hair and looked like a sissy: "You must be Kisaragi-san?"

"Hi~ Nice to meet you, I'm Kisaragi Rei, please take care of me~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yang Lili rushed over happily and hugged Ru Yue Lian: "Lian-kun~ We finally meet!"

"Lily-san, www you're so enthusiastic, but it's really nice to meet you."

Two girls from the pool held hands and sat in a corner to whisper to each other, making it difficult to distinguish the remaining two.

After carefully examining the man, Shimizu Toru looked him over and said to the one with the better figure, "You must be Ichinose-san?"

"Huh? How did you recognize me?" As soon as the other person spoke, it was indeed Ichinose Rei's voice, which was much deeper than that of an ordinary girl.

"Well... can I not say?"

But it was clear that the crowd wouldn't let Shimizu Toru get away with it so easily, and a bunch of girls started chattering, "Tell us, tell us~ We're so curious!"

It was practically torture for my eardrums, so loud it made my head ache. He could only tell the truth: "Because I heard that Sora-san has small breasts."

"Hahahaha, Serena, the fact that you're flat-chested has actually spread outside the company?! www No, this is making my stomach hurt from laughing!"

Hinano, who has a low threshold for laughter, burst into laughter, and as everyone knows, laughter is contagious.

People who don't want to laugh may find themselves unable to resist laughing after hearing others laugh.

The entire private room erupted in laughter. One of the people laughing so hard that Hua Yaqi fell off her chair and started rolling around on the floor.

"You, you guys! So what if you have small breasts! Mimi has small breasts too!?"

Feeling targeted, Sora Sena got so angry that her neck turned red, and she couldn't help but pounce on the others to tickle them.

In the sweltering summer heat, everyone is already dressed lightly, and this commotion can only be described with one idiom—"springtime light suddenly revealed!"

Shimizu Toru quickly looked away and shouted, "Everyone, stop fooling around! The meat is almost here. Let's sit down first!"

"For Shimizu-san's sake, I'll spare your lives today!"

The private room was large enough that it didn't feel crowded even with more than a dozen people sitting down.

Shimizu Toru was naturally surrounded by Yuhi Lily, Takamiya Rion, and Kurumi Noa, while Rindan Mikoto sat down next to Takamiya Rion.

The members of VSPA took their seats according to how familiar they were with each other.

The charcoal fire quickly rose, the aroma of meat filled the air, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

After all, apart from Shimizu Toru and Yuhi Riri, everyone in VSPO knows each other very well, and with the presence of Hinano Tachibana and Lisa Ei, there's no chance of things getting awkward.

"Toru-kun, Toru-kun, I heard you wore a mascot costume today? Really? I really want to see!" Ichinose Rei asked impatiently while flipping the beef tongue.

"Yeah, I got screwed over by an unreliable manager." Shimizu Toru sighed and briefly recounted what happened that afternoon, which drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

"Hahaha, I never thought you'd be in this situation, Toru-kun!" Usaki Mimi laughed the loudest. "Do you have any photos? I want to save them as memes!"

"Mimi Taya!" Shimizu Toru glared at her fiercely, and the latter immediately shrank back, but still managed to suppress a smile.

"But Tou-kun handled it very well; I heard the atmosphere was incredibly lively," Sora Saina praised. "His ability to adapt to the situation is truly impressive."

"After all, we are the flagship of 2434, and our strength is beyond doubt." Sunset Lily smiled with pride, her tone carrying a hint of smugness.

“Speaking of this~” Kisaragi Rei looked at Shimizu Toru and asked curiously, “Toru-kun, you juggle being a VTuber, a voice actor, and a band vocalist all at the same time. Don’t you find it too much to handle? Your time management is truly amazing.”

"It's alright, the main thing is to plan the itinerary well." Shimizu Toru picked up a piece of grilled diaphragm and placed it on Walnut Noah's plate, and the latter whispered a thank you.

"Moreover, many jobs are actually cyclical, such as voice acting and band practice, which don't require going every day. Live streaming has become a relatively fixed way to relax."

"But she's still amazing," Little Sparrow whispered in agreement. "She does everything so well..."

"By the way, isn't the Argonavis anime coming out soon?" Sumire asked suddenly, as if she had just remembered something.

"Yeah, it'll be October. We'll have to do promotions then, so I guess we'll be busy for a while." Shimizu Toru nodded, feeling both excited and a little worried about the potential attention the anime would receive after it aired.

"It's definitely going to be a huge hit!" Hanae Nasu said with absolute certainty. "I watched the clips of the 1st live performance, it was amazing!"

"Thank you, and I hope everyone will support me then." Shimizu Toru smiled and raised his glass, and everyone else followed suit.

The conversation gradually shifted from work to daily life and games. Everyone started discussing the FPS games they had been playing recently, exchanging experiences with peripherals, and complaining about the weird teammates they had encountered.

Although Shimizu Toru wasn't particularly proficient in FPS games, he would occasionally chime in, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
