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

Volume 1: Chapter 15 The Idea of ​​Filming Volg

Since she didn't have to go to class the next day, Shimizu Tou stayed up all night and didn't fall asleep until 2:30 in the morning.

The first thing I did after waking up was to check my pillow. When I saw that I had only lost a few strands of hair, which was within the normal range of hair loss, I was immediately relieved.

He has a face that appeals to both men and women, but it would be a tragedy if he went bald young. After all, even Louis Koo at his peak wouldn't be that handsome with a receding hairline.

After washing up, Qingshui went out and bought a lot of ingredients, planning to cook three dishes and a soup to reward herself for working so hard lately.

While washing vegetables, I suddenly had a great idea to increase my followers: "Why don't I try making an authentic Chinese cooking tutorial? If the response is good, I can update it every week and turn it into a series."

Back in the days of the US-China trade war, countless American men were captivated by a bowl of steamed egg, causing egg prices to rise in the US.

Adding to the problem was the outbreak of bird flu, which led to Mexicans no longer selling rice, making smuggled eggs more profitable.

As for Japanese cuisine, to be honest, it's not all clear, hard, and dark. The only thing that's worth looking at is Wagyu beef, and you can't eat too much of it because it's high in fat and can be greasy.

The rest—sushi, kaiseki cuisine, eel rice, sukiyaki, sashimi, etc.—none of them can be considered gourmet food at all.

Especially the yakitori, the portion size is comparable to that of barbecue in the south, they can even sell skewers of corn kernels.

Even if you brought out one serving of every dish at a yakitori restaurant, it wouldn't be enough to fill up a male student from the University of Tokyo—just a normal portion, not the kind with a huge appetite.

Only the Japanese, who generally have small appetites and like to pretend to be tough, can order a few skewers of lanterns and a pitcher of beer, and drink for half an hour straight.

However, it's best to use an action camera to shoot those kinds of vlogs, otherwise it's inconvenient whether you're holding the phone with one hand or propping it up next to you.

You also have to be careful that there are no reflective objects in the frame, otherwise those Leeuwenhoek types could dig out the person in the picture just from a pixelated image.

Braised pork belly, hand-torn cabbage, stir-fried cured pork with dried tofu, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

Shimizu Toru enjoyed his brunch very much, mainly because he's been receiving a lot of good news lately, and good things always make people feel good.

After putting the leftovers in the refrigerator, he was preparing to play a few more games of League of Legends, hoping to get his newly registered account, which he had only registered two months ago, to Platinum rank.

Then I received a call from Jiang: "Tou-sama~ Can you come to the company this week to collect the 3D model data?"

"If there's no one at the recording studio, I can go over there now."

It seems that some of the current first-generation trainees haven't done 3D yet, not to mention SEEDs, who will probably have to wait until the end of the year.

If Shimizu Toru hadn't caused such a stir, and if Nijisanji didn't have many male VTubers who could stand on their own, the progress wouldn't have been so smooth.

Although seniority is a serious factor in Japan's political system, capitalists are driven by profit. As long as it brings them greater benefits, rules and regulations can be set aside for the time being.

And once an exception is made, it will naturally happen a second and a third time.

If Shimizu Toru were to break away and go solo one day, he could even force the company to reduce its profits for him, changing the profit split from 50/50 to 30/70.

—It's definitely going to be 70% his, but whether Nijisanji can get 30% depends on Tazukaku Riku's attitude.

Wearing a mask, Shimizu Toru took the tram to the port area and entered the office, where he saw Rize and the other two again.

Good afternoon, keep it up! I have high hopes for you guys!

After waving to the three of them, he headed straight for the 3D photography studio, with no intention of chatting with them any further.

Once they debut, we can do collaborations more often, but for now, it's better to avoid it. Being too proactive would only make him seem like he has ulterior motives.

"Kaku! He's so handsome!"

Lizard cupped her face in her hands, looking like a lovesick girl: "And his voice is so nice too. Is this the kind of handsome Tokyo guy Mitsuha wants to be?"

"He is indeed very handsome, but he looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

Upon hearing Ange's words, Lizard let out a healthy royal laugh: "Ange, your way of flirting is so old-fashioned!"

“Chi ga u! I really have seen this somewhere before, let me think—”

Just then, the person next to them took out their phone and handed it to the two of them: "Is this it? It's the new voice actress Shimizu Toru who's been really popular these past few days."

"Hey! u so!"

Seeing the photo of Shimizu Toru wearing a mask on her Twitter profile, Lize blinked several times before she dared to believe it: "Toru-senpai is a voice actress?"

"That's normal. Even Chitose-senpai isn't a singer. It's quite rare to see someone who's a complete amateur."

Upon hearing Inu-inoko's words, Rize's eyes widened even more: "Eh!? Kuon-san is a singer??"

"...Isn't it obvious from her voice the moment she starts singing that she's Rei?" Inu-ino was a little doubtful whether his classmate was genuinely unaware or just pretending.

"Ahem, as soon as we debut as VTubers, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to say things like this?" Seeing that the two of them were starting to lead the charge against him, Ange quickly stopped them.

Xu Hai blinked and changed the subject: "Then why don't you guess what Senior Tou is doing at the company today?"

"I can't believe it. It couldn't be for the 3D version, could it? He's only been in the industry for less than a week."

Lizard, who eliminated a correct option as soon as she opened her mouth, clearly didn't understand the meaning of "one step ahead leads to another".

Meanwhile, Shimizu Toru had already put on his motion-sensing suit in the studio. After performing various movements as instructed by his teacher, he ran behind the computer.

Then he immediately noticed something was wrong: "Why are the leg movements so stiff? It feels like there's no motion capture at all."

"Uh, no, there are some technical flaws in this area."

"...Are you kidding me? Can't this kind of problem be solved simply by adding a couple more sensors to the leg?"

After Shimizu Toru finished speaking, he looked down and realized that there were indeed no sensors on his thighs and knees.

Damn it, the company has made so much money, are they really unwilling to spend the money to buy a few more sensors?

He suddenly remembered that before he traveled through time, he had seen a video on Bilibili called "Technological Progress in Three Years", which showed Higuchi Kaede and Shizurin dancing Panama again after three years.

At the time, my attention was completely focused on Rainbow Bully's stiff dance moves. Now, thinking back carefully, the 19 version on the left didn't bend its knees even once from beginning to end.

Shimizu Toru sighed resignedly and turned to Jiang: "I'll enter the data first, and then I'll go with you to talk to the operations team leader later."

"Understood~ Then Toru-sama, you go ahead and get busy. I'll schedule an appointment with the team leader."

When I received the call, I thought I could see the 3D movie next week, but it looks like it will be postponed until April.

Ugh, why don't we just postpone it to May? I really don't want to go out during pollen season!

Volume 1: Chapter Sixteen - Rainbow Society's LOL Squad

When Shimizu Toru returned to the apartment, it was only a little before 3 p.m. He had originally planned to find a gym nearby and get a monthly membership.

Lately, some girls have been deliberately jogging with me during my morning runs. Guys, you need to be careful when you're out and about too.

But then I thought about how little money I had, not even enough to buy a few private lessons, so I decided to forget about it.

If all else fails, we can just switch to sit-ups and push-ups. As long as we don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties.

After getting Kuzuha and the others' LINE accounts from Jiang, he added the four of them as Discord friends and created a small group called "[Rainbow Society LOL Team]".

Looking at the group now, there are a few more people: Debiru, Meiji Tongda, and Yuika Shiina. With two more, we can have a ten-person internal battle.

[Toru Hanyu: How about we invite two more people to come and play together?]

[Shiina Yuika: Oysters! We're still at the very beginning of the beginner tutorial!]

Image: "Black Group", Location: "Images/1751816583-100444248-113557471.jpg"

[Ye: Don't worry, Xiluo~ We won't go too far]

Image: "Little Red Riding Hood", Location: "Images/1751816564-100444248-113557471.jpg"

[Meiji Tongda: Eek~ If knkn says that, he's definitely trying to scam someone again.]

Image: "Koala", Location: "Images/1751816600-100444248-113557471.jpg"

[DerbyDerbyDerbiru: Good luck with the live stream, I'll be cheering you on~]

[Ge Ye: Log in! Log in! Let me show you the skills of a former youth academy player!]

Image: "Jin Hanhan", Location: "Images/1751816614-100444248-113557471.jpg"

[Takamiya Rion: Red bean paste? Is Kuzuha that amazing?]

Former youth training player? Shimizu Toru raised an eyebrow when he saw this message.

However, LJL (the Japanese league) has always been one of the worst leagues in the world, even worse than South Vietnam. Last year, they won their first ever victory in the play-in stage, producing a famous scene with the "measuring the sky".

If DFM, the only team from the region to qualify for the S-series, performs like this, then Ge Ye, whose youth training program I don't know which team he's from, probably won't be too strong either.

In China, he'd be at most a Master rank in the first region, not even good enough to get into a youth training camp, since LDL players are basically all Challenger rank or higher in the Korean server.

Although Shimizu Toru never went to youth training, he was still a master at the Actor's Peak, otherwise how could he have taken on a boosting job in his past life—even if he was just a goalkeeper.

[Sunset Lily: I'm home too, I'll turn on the computer now]

[Kuzuha: Everyone, send me your game IDs, I'll invite more people!]

So, apart from Ye, who had previously duo-queued with Ge Ye, the other three gave their IDs, which were all their own names, except that their surnames were in Chinese characters and their given names were in hiragana.

Then, when Shimizu Toru was pulled into the room, the name of the Black Group stood out among the five people.

The kudzu leaf is called Lagusa, and the leaf stalk is called feed on feed.

The former, according to Baidu, refers to Croatia, an island nation that has disappeared, while the latter means "feeding with feed," which can probably be extended to mean "to eat with food."

Looking at their ranks, Ge Ye is Platinum I, Ye Shi is Gold III, and the other two are Silver players.

Shimizu Toru, who had climbed to Gold II from the placement matches with a winning streak last night, sighed in the voice chat, "Kuzuha's rank is too high, I can't play ranked."

"How about we make him drop a big tier first?" Sunset Lily said in the same boyish voice as the pool, saying something that made people jump.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" As expected, Ge Ye firmly objected: "I've already dropped to Platinum because I haven't played ranked matches in so long. If I drop to Gold, people will laugh at me to death!"

"Then why don't you fight?" Rion Takamiya asked curiously.

Before Ge Ye could answer, Master Ye immediately contradicted him, saying, "This guy was so foul-mouthed when he played games that he got into trouble and had to retire. He hasn't touched the game since."

"LOL does make people unconsciously become foul-mouthed. I'm afraid even Claire wouldn't be able to avoid swearing when she plays it."

Upon hearing Shimizu Toru's words, Master Ye immediately became interested: "I've got it! Why don't we try to drag her into this and see if she can still maintain her composure!"

"Hey! You two, you're not allowed to defile my most virtuous nun in the universe!" Sunset Lily immediately stood up to object, her attitude incredibly firm.

"Wow, that's a really strong reaction! When did you and Claire become so close? I've never seen you two collaborate before!"

In response to Kuzuha's question, Yuhi Lily immediately changed the subject: "Ahem, is everything ready? If so, let's get started."

“ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh, matching, I'm not really motivated.”

His Platinum career crumbled midway, and Shimizu Toru was thinking of giving up: "Can I pick any champion? I want to play Darius."

"L, N, Darius??" After nearly biting her tongue, Rion Takamiya finally pronounced it correctly.

Shimizu Toru then realized that he had subconsciously pronounced the words "Darius" in Chinese: "It's Darius, the Hand of Noxus, abbreviated as Darius in the LPL, and nicknamed 'Elementary School Hand'."

"Elementary school student's hand!? Does that mean everyone who likes to play this hero is an elementary school student? Damn it!" Ye Shi, who used to really enjoy playing Darius, felt he needed to switch positions.

"That's not the whole reason. If you don't play well there, they'll ask you if you're a primary school student, and that leads to a lot of nicknames like 'child swindler,' 'child robber,' and 'primary school monk.'"

After explaining to each person which nickname corresponded to which hero, the game finally matched them with other players.

There was no question of "n" or "n" in the matchmaking. After Shimizu Tou instantly picked Darius, everyone else also got their own signature champions.

Thus, a lineup consisting of Darius in the top lane, Zed in the mid lane, Evelynn in the jungle, Jinx and Morgana in the bot lane, with absolutely no frontline, was born.

"Tsk, are you going to make me the tank? Forget it, let's just kill them until they surrender at fifteen."

After glancing at the enemy lineup—top laner Renekton and support Leona—I decisively opted for Conqueror and Triumph as my primary runes, Resolve and double Tenacity as my secondary runes, and then Ignite and Flash.

Start with Doran's Shield, potions, and a free ward. Go straight to the top lane at level 1 without participating in the level 1 team fight. Place a ward in the middle bush and wait for someone who is meant to be there.

Upon switching screens, I saw that Kuzuha and his team were already fighting the enemy in the lower jungle. The good news was that the Crocodile hadn't gone over either, so it was still a 4v4.

The bad news is that Sunset Lily missed her Q, and then Leona hit her with her E, giving up first blood. The others had no choice but to retreat and run away.

"Hey hey! My question."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Shimizu Toru interjected, "Don't worry, that crocodile over there is going to die too."

The four quickly switched screens and saw that the crocodile was about to enter the bushes when he came out and took advantage of them for free.

Just as the opponent was about to retaliate, Shimizu Toru dove back into the bushes, blocking his basic attack.

The crocodile quickly placed a ward inside, and then got hit by another attack. He quickly used a White Rage Q to try to recover some health, but was dodged by Shimizu Toru's positioning.

There's not much to say after that. AW slowed down and chased after A. After Bloodrage was unleashed, Ignite was no longer needed. In a panic, the opponent even used Death Flash.

"OK~ Top lane cleared, I'm going to harass the enemy jungler."

After clearing the minion wave, Shimizu Tou went straight into the enemy jungle and happened to see Zhao Xin fighting Frog Princess alone.
