Chapter 13: The Mysterious Interviewer

Mysterious interviewer.

As always, YOLO Live is busy every day.

Although it is a company with only three virtual YouTubers, it is gradually growing in size and carrying out various projects.

YOLO Live CEO Lisane was sitting in front of her desk, monitoring the YOLO Live members.

“Hmm, they are all nice people, but something, something is lacking.”

It’s not that the YOLO Live members lack skills.

In particular, Seria, the second of the three, is continuing the broadcast while keeping the nun RP well and is popular.

She doesn’t think that’s what she lacks.

“Somehow, it would be nice if we had at least one nerd.”

Each virtual YouTuber company has its own unique atmosphere.

Strangely, there are places where only nerds gather, while YOLO Live is made up of quiet and mature members, so it felt like the harmony was somehow bland.

“Maybe I should recruit more.”

Lisanne thought it wasn’t time to call in more people yet, but as if it were [CEO, an interviewer has arrived.]

[Oh, that. They came because they wanted to interview.]

The phone on her desk rang and she picked it up.

“It’s me.”

“What? What do you mean? You didn’t even post a job posting?”

“Tell them to come when the job posting is posted.”

[I’m sorry. Th, uh… Can’t we do something about it?]

What is it? Something feels strange.

What on earth could be causing this?

“Whew, I understand. Then post it.”

[Thank you!]

And then, a knock rings out from the closed door.

“An interviewer has arrived.”

“Let them in.”

The closed door opens, and a stranger’s feet step inside the CEO’s office.

“…!”

As the person presumed to be the interviewer comes into view, Lisanne’s eyes widen.

Her long, golden hair, so beautiful that it seems like it could really exist in this world, reflects the light.

Not only was her skin as white as milk, but her sparkling blue eyes were infinitely clear.

Above all, her perfectly slender S-line body was enough to instantly captivate even those of the same s*x.

The beauty, who was truly worthy of the title of peerless beauty, could be identified by her pointed ears sticking out from between her hair.

‘Elf?’

However, in this day and age, a slim and pretty elf….

It was hard to believe even after seeing her with my own eyes.

In front of her, the elf woman walked in a suit, her shoes clicking, and spoke to Lisanne.

“Hmm, can I sit down?”

“Yes? Oh! Yes, please sit down.”

Lisanne immediately got up from her seat and sat down in the seat right in front of her.

In the meantime, the elf woman, who was neatly dressed in a suit, sat comfortably, naturally crossing her legs in stockings.

At first glance, her attitude could be considered rude for an interviewee, but the elf in front of her was so beautiful that Lisanne didn’t even think about it.

“Are you the person who came for an interview?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I see….”

Lisanne still couldn’t believe it.

She couldn’t believe that such a beautiful elf was still alive.

She had heard an urban legend that said that an exceptionally beautiful elf lived in a certain mansion.

But that was just a rumor.

“First of all, I know it’s embarrassing for me to say this, but you’re an elf, right?”

“Yes, you are an elf. You’re a Minotaur.”

“Aha, yes. That’s right. But what brings you to our company?”

“Huh? Didn’t you hear from below? I came for an interview.”

“Um~ What kind of interview is this…?”

“What do you mean? It’s a Virtuber interview.”

……..

Why?!

Lisanne didn’t understand.

With such outstanding looks, why would you insist on becoming a YouTuber?

Wouldn’t you be more famous if you were an actor or an idol?

“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Lisanne Altraina, and I am the CEO of YOLO Live.”

“I am, um…. Would that be easier to understand?”

The elf girl, who had been pondering for a moment, said a name that had stuck in Lisanne’s mind.

“Strawberry Ss…”

“S-Seriously! That time! Jilleossong’s?!”

“As expected, you knew.”

“Ha, haha. I can’t believe it. You, a big shot in the human world, are this kind of pretty elf girl.”

Although still dumbfounded by the appearance of a big shot, Lisanne continued the story.

“First of all, why did you suddenly want to interview to be a virtual YouTuber at our company? If you were going to do this, you could have started your own company, or you could have gone to a larger conglomerate.”

At this time, Strawberry Shrimp Shrimp answered indifferently, as if it were something obvious.

“I came here because I wanted to work in the same company as my favorite. Do you need any other reason?”

“Ah, Seria.”

“Yes, I personally like the other two here as well.”

“Thank you.”

Above all, being a YouTuber is a job that plants dreams and hopes in viewers.

This is the same for idols, but being a YouTuber is different because it plants a different subcultural dream.

For someone who has prepared something and is so absorbed by it, there is nothing more rewarding than that.

“First of all, I understand that you want to have a YouTuber in our company. Strawberry has a great voice and a good reputation, so I think you have a good chance.”

“Of course.”

“However, we are not ready to accept a fourth person right now.”

“Why?”

“We split the profits 8:2. Above all, we contract it that way out of respect for the YouTubers themselves.”

There are cases where profits are split 7:3, but those are only a small number of cases.

These days, it is common for many companies to sign contracts based on a 6:4 ratio.

However, the 8:2 ratio was a very bold contract ratio that went beyond common sense.

As a result, the company was not making as much profit as expected.

‘Hmm, even if I consider the amount of money I donated, it must not be small.’

A thought briefly crossed Strawberry’s mind.

However, since each company has its own circumstances, this profit ratio was certainly acceptable.

Even if the company’s operations looked like chewing gum on the outside, it would not be small if you added other advertising costs.

“Hmm, then wait a minute.”

Strawberry took out her cell phone from her pocket and started tapping on it.

Then, as if she was done, she put the phone away and said indifferently, “Now, I think there will be no problem.”

“Huh? What is that…”

“I just bought 90 percent of YOLO Live’s stock.”

At that moment, Lisanne’s eyes grew wide enough to pop out.

“Huh?!! No! Wait a minute! What the heck!! What did you do in that short amount of time!!”

Normally, something like this would be impossible.

But this is a fantasy world, so it’s possible!

“If you suspect something, check it out.”

Just in case, Lisanne got up from her seat and tapped on the magic computer.

Then, indeed, there was a clear record of her purchasing a huge amount of stocks in the records.

The ID, of course, was Strawberry Ssangssang.

With this, Strawberry Ssangssang had effectively become the largest shareholder.

“Ha, really, you’re doing such a ridiculous thing right before my eyes, clicking away like you were shopping online.”

“If there are any other necessary procedures, I’ll send a proxy so you can discuss them with him.”

“Oh, yes. I understand. Well, now that you’ve effectively become the largest shareholder, it’s become difficult for me to treat you lightly.”

Strawberry Ssangssang playfully smiled and said in front of Lisanne, who was sweating profusely.

“Hey, let’s keep this as a secret, the largest shareholder. I’m the current interviewee.”

“This feels really strange. The fact that I have the largest shareholder under me is really jarring.”

“Why? Then, should I withdraw the stocks I put in?”

“No!! Please take care of it! Strawberry!”

Lisanne couldn’t miss this opportunity.

It was none other than Strawberry Ssangssang.

‘Strawberry Ssangssang. Where on earth does this person’s money come from?’

She always spent money like water, so she wondered what kind of rich person he was.

But she never dreamed that he would buy 90 percent of the stocks.

“Please call me comfortably, except for you.”

“Oh, yes, I understand, Strawberry.”

“Hehe, that’s good. Then can I use my default channel as it is?”

“Yes, of course. Let’s write up a contract first.”

“It’s annoying, I’ll send an agent. You can take care of all the formalities then. I’m just going to get the shoes and leave.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Well, Lisanne was in a position where she had no choice but to do whatever she wanted.

However, having a big shot like Strawberry on her side was a huge advantage.

At that moment, a good idea came to her mind.

“Strawberry. Since you’re going to debut as a YouTuber, why don’t you make it a little more impactful?”

“Wow…”

Strawberry pouted and smiled as if she was very interested, perked up her ears.

***

AVR stage made with cutting-edge technology.

Here, a collaboration stage between a YouTuber and a female cam was created for the first time, and many fans were watching online or through broadcasts.

“Everyone! I sincerely thank you for taking the time to gather here!”

Amidst the anticipation of many people and the murmur of the crowd, Lisanne, who appeared as a cute SD character, continued to speak powerfully.

“Today is none other than female cam VS virtual tuber! A battle of pride between the two teams will unfold!”

The virtual tuber team and the female cam team entered amidst splendid lights and smoke.

Of course, the female cams connected to the VR channel with a separate screen so that their true selves could be revealed, and they brought out temporary avatars.

“Okay! Then! We need a judge to decide the winner of the match between the two teams that will put women’s pride on the line!”

“I’ve invited you specially for today!!”

“That’s right!! The big shot of the internet broadcasting world! The living cosmic horror! The famous clipper who is also called the president~~! I’m Strawberry Ssang Ssang!”

As his name was called, Strawberry Ssang Ssang walked out wearing the avatar of a ‘criminal’ from a certain crime comic.

-Are you crazy?!!

-You recruited Strawberry Ssang Ssang?!!

-Wow, is YOLO Live’s recruiting power real!!

-Crazy!! This is waaaaaaaaa!!

-F*ck, I can trust him!!

-No one doubts his judgment!!

-Strawberry Ssang Ssang!!!

At this moment, everyone let out a crazy cheer at Strawberry Ssang Ssang’s appearance, and the atmosphere heated up.
