The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 186
Shina thought to herself.
Why the hell am I here? Round 2.
The š®ost uptodatš novels are pubš”ished on freeweÉnovÄl.coɱ.
āSecond question. I once did a BlueReco broadcast. The first line I said during that broadcast wasāā.ā
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
āNalim pressed first, and then Chel. Nalim, go ahead.ā
āIt was, āSince the tea is so good, bring me another cup,āā Nalim said.
āThatās incorrect. Chel, your turn.ā
āNyan nyan nyan nyang. The Nekomimi princess from the cat planet, Nekozuka Rion, here.ā
āThatās correct. On that day, I entrusted the broadcast to Rion. So, Rion said the first line.ā
ā¦I donāt know that.
Next to Shina, Nalim sighed and muttered, āAh! I barely remember anything except for Lauraās lines!ā But Shina thought that wasnāt the real problem.
Arenāt these questions too hard?
āThe third question, Iāll explain it. From now on, Lauraās SNS post will be shown on the monitor. You need to guess what sentence fills the blank.ā
(Photo of tea)
Aurora @Aurora_EYEAI
[ā ā and I drank tea together, and the texture was incredibly ā ā ā . I wouldnāt say it goes well together.]
Ding dong!
āāMealwormsā and tea, the texture was incredibly āalien.āā
āYes, Sora, thatās correct!ā
While reading the question, before even finishing, the correct answer came out in less than a second.
Shina was convinced. The participants had definitely studied in advance.
This isnāt even like school studyingā¦!
These people... Before this project, they had gone through all of Auroraās channel archives, watched every broadcast sheād appeared on, and even stalked her SNS posts.
...How am I supposed to beat people like this?
But... do I even need to win?
Shina realized she couldnāt win. She became calm in an instant.
I never even liked Aurora to begin with, so why do I need to win this project?
But I canāt miss the chance to get in Ruiās good booksā¦
Shina, who had committed herself to VTubing after abandoning real life, knew the worst thing that could happen was the project ending without her being noticed.
Even if I donāt win this project, I need to make my presence known. That way, when Rui holds big collaborative projects, Iāll be invited.
With that thought, Shina calmly surveyed her surroundings.
Speaking of which, what about Mero and Inagika?
The broadcast was continuing, but Mero and Inagika werenāt really doing anything. They were just quietly chatting with Aurora, without contributing much else.
They wouldnāt just be placed there as audience members, would they?
Itās normal to think they have a role to play in part 2.
I guess Iāll just ignore part 1.
The competitors are too strong; thereās nothing I can do in part 1.
Part 2. Thatās where Iāll stake everything.
āHow luckyā¦ā
Elenoa, hugging her knees, muttered.
From the screen, the sounds of Laura and Mero talking could be heard.
āWow, theyāre answering again. Does this mean itās going to be Sora and Nalim as the top two?ā
āThat seems to be the case.ā
āEach of them⦠they have such distinct personalities, itās niceā¦ā
Elenoa said this, though she didnāt seem to know exactly what she meant. Most likely, she had no clue either. She probably said something just to avoid being the quiet outsider.
Seeing Elenoa like this, Noah tossed a donation message into the chat.
ćElenoa has donated 10,000 wonć
ćPunishment Inagikać
?Why is Noah here???Did Noah lose his mind? lolSomeone make the āPunishment Inagikaā sound effectNoahās enjoying this, huh? lol
āIām not enjoying it!ā
Noah unconsciously shouted after seeing the chat.
Noah had wanted to participate in the Aurora Scramble!
But she wasnāt invited!
The host of this broadcast, Rui, hadnāt spoken to her!
āIām so jealous! Iām so envious of Shina-senpai and Nalim-senpai! What should I do, Laura Chad!ā
Noah sighed dramatically.
She just needed to send a message to Laura on Discord saying āLetās be friends~.ā Why had she hesitated so much?
It seems like this situation was because she was too passive.
āUghā¦ā
Noahās inner Laura harshly delivered the truth. The performance of the Laura chat is pretty good...
āI could wash the dishes and clean the house if you just let me inā¦!ā
Recently, Noahās confidence had been pretty low due to lack of progress. She was a little scared of how low her self-esteem could goāshe feared she might end up licking feet.
Still, while feeling envious of the participants of the Aurora Scramble, Noah also thought to herself, Iām actually relieved I wasnāt invited.
It could be a defense mechanism, or maybe it was just mental victory.
But anyway, the participants were too strong.
āI once received an ad for a game called āSurvive in the Apocalypse World.ā Of course, itās still going on with promotions. I met Elenoa there, and the line I said when I killed Elenoa wasāā.ā
āCorrect! āIām sorry. Rion is more important to me.āā
āNow, Iāll read the next line for you. āI see. Sora, what happened to the others?ā āI ended up separating from the othersā¦ā What comes next?ā
āCorrect! āI see. Youāre not Sora.āā
Senior Hand Nalim seemed to have memorized all of Lauraās lines. She didnāt miss a single word.
It was clear that Nalim had watched Lauraās broadcasts repeatedly. It almost seemed like madness, how thoroughly she knew everything about Lauraās broadcasts.
Meanwhile, as for the first lady of the community, Sora...
Q. Fill in the blank. [Auroraās favorite food is ā ā ā ā .]
āIs it pigās feet soup?ā
Q. Fill in the blank. [Auroraās best dish is ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā .]
āI think itās undercooked or overcooked ham.ā
Q. Fill in the blank. [The Dukeās ā ā ā who committed ā ā ā ā , her name is ā ā ā ā ā ā ā . She was held at Lauraās house for about two months.]
āāNoble Disrespectā committed by the Dukeās āprisoner,ā her name is āTanabe Ainaā right?ā
Sora was far better than Nalim at filling in the blanks.
It seemed that Nalim had deeply studied Lauraās broadcasts, but Sora appeared to understand Laura on a broader scale.
Especially since Sora had clearly gone through Lauraās SNS posts. She never got anything wrong. Her confidence was rock-solid, like a stew.
āNext question. What was the first nickname Laura ever called another VTuber? Yes, Nalim.ā
āWasnāt it āLaura-neeā by Rion?ā
āThatās incorrect. Next, Anna.ā
āItās āSensei!ā I called her that!ā
āCorrect!ā
āIāve been playing Labyrinthos since my debut. Now, the question: What character did I play at 2:23 AM on October 5th? Anna pressed first.ā
āI know this one. It was the Magic Engineer, wasnāt it?ā
āCorrect.ā
Anna wasnāt too bad.
Of course, compared to Sora and Nalim, she seemed to fall a little behind, but oddly, she was very good at answering questions related to Lauraās Labyrinthos.
Noah didnāt feel confident about beating the three of them.
Q. How much has Chel donated to Aurora?
ā640,000 won.ā
Q. How many times has Shina failed at the promotion battle against Aurora?
āFive times! Ugh!ā
Chel and Shina were at the bottom.
Chel wasnāt bad, but her quick reflexes seemed a little slower compared to the others. Speed quizzes were tough for her.
Shina was probably in the worst position. Unfortunately, the other competitors were just too good.
Still, Shina wasnāt completely helpless.
āThe next question is for Laura. Write down five VTubers she has collaborated with on her tablet PC. For each one, youāll get one point.ā
If it werenāt for the speed questions, Shina could probably rack up some points.
It was clear that Rui had prepared well for this. There were questions Shora knew, ones Nalim knew, and ones Chel knewāhe seemed to be balancing the questions well.
The problem was that Sora and Nalim kept stealing the questions Shina was supposed to answer. They seemed to know everything about Shina and Lauraās past. ...Scary.
āWell then, weāll finish part 1 here and take a short break. Feel free to use the bathroom, and weāll start again once everyoneās back.ā
With that, the intense part 1 ended, and Rui was the first to leave the room.
The rest of the hosts followed, perhaps preparing for part 2, leaving only the participants behind.
Hereās the current situation:
Sora: 23pt
Nalim: 21pt
Anna: 17pt
Chel: 11pt
Shina: 8pt
āHey, Ayano Kouji Sora! Youāre pretty good, huh?ā
As soon as she saw the results, Anna shouted at Sora on screen.
Sora, who had been chatting with Nalim, looked at Anna with an expression of annoyance.
āWhy do you always call me by my full name? Canāt you just call me normally?ā
āDid you shorten your words there?ā
āThe one using short words is you, Anna-senpai. Arenāt you supposed to be using polite language in your character?ā
āWhat polite language are we using? Anyway, arenāt you happy? Youāre first place.ā
āWhy do you always throw pointless jabs at me? Jeez.ā
Sora shrugged, looking unimpressed.
How lucky...
I wish I could be a part of thatā¦
āShould I try talking to Sora?ā
Noah muttered to herself.
Noah really wanted to be close to Laura, but she didnāt particularly dislike Sora. Didnāt she look pretty cool when she defeated Vincent last time?
And now, seeing her stay stable in first place in the quiz show, Sora looked especially cool today.
By the way, she had recently exchanged messages with Sora on Discord about the Fantasy League song relay project.
She had hoped to be in a later or earlier slot than Laura, but unfortunately, it didnāt happen. Oh well. She had wanted to talk to Laura about a request.
Anyway, how about getting close to Sora first, then maybe Laura?
It felt like a roundabout way to do it, but they do say the longer way is often the faster one when youāre in a hurry!
Oh, Noah...
Isnāt the reason youāre picking this long roundabout route because youāre nervous to talk to Laura?
Donāt be like SuMin. Just take the step forward.
āUgh⦠Sorry, Laura. Iām just a coward⦠This is all I can doā¦ā
ćElenoa has donated 10,000 wonć
ćCatfight is definitely Sora vs Anna!ć
And so, Noah spent the break in a state where she wasnāt sure if she was enjoying it or not.
After about ten minutesā¦
Rui appeared again.
ćAll preparations are complete.ć
Then, Laura appeared behind Rui.
Three of them.
āHuh?ā
Why are there three of them?
Noah, the viewers, and even the participants were momentarily confused.
The three Lauras bowed with grace and then left with elegant steps.
And before long⦠through the window, Noah saw Laura running between buildings.
[To hold the sun that no one can grasp, one must possess both civil and martial skills.]
[And since in part 1, we saw your ācivil,ā in part 2, I will show you āmartial.ā]
[Letās begin part 2, āFind Aurora.ā]
[The person who truly finds Aurora will win this game!]
Rui said this.
