The debut broadcast of the second generation, which started with Sumire hitting an out-of-the-park home run, was truly back-to-back-to-back.
It was a feast of three consecutive home runs.
After Sumire Mama’s shocking broadcast ended and Mao’s broadcast began, the viewer count, which had briefly dropped while switching streams, returned thanks to her unique way of speaking (which clearly showed she was Japanese), and by the time it was Hoshino’s turn, the viewership actually increased even more.
“Hoshino… what a scary kid.”
She was on a completely different level when it came to performance.
She showed acting skills so perfect that it made us doubt why she didn’t show that kind of cuteness in front of us.
And while it wasn’t a cover song, she perfectly performed three famous girl group songs during the broadcast, showcasing her solid vocal abilities.
Also, the cover songs, which were released one by one after the three broadcasts, were also doing well.
Today, about a day after their release, the views were at 150,000, 60,000, and 90,000, respectively. Even though she had the massive Velus fandom behind her, for a non-mainland broadcast in Korea, these numbers were quite an encouraging result.

Among them, Sumire’s cover song had particularly high views, and honestly, if you didn’t lose your mind after hearing that voice, you probably weren’t human, as she really hit it out of the park.
In fact, the cover song with more than 150,000 views in one day was already creating a buzz in the gallery, as not many VTubers in Velus, including domestic ones, had managed to hit that number except for Haruka.
Well, Haruka is a whole different league, so she’s not really a fair comparison…
Still, it was an impressive achievement, and the members in the Deco voice chat all took turns praising her non-stop.
Contrary to her usual dignified appearance, seeing her react shyly and act like she was about to die from embarrassment was honestly quite entertaining.
Anyway, it was the second day of her debut.
Azusa and I now had the responsibility of ensuring that we didn’t leave any blemish on this unbelievably successful debut.
However, I couldn’t sleep until dawn.
The reason was simple: Haruka was more important to me than the successful debut in Velus.
“Why…”
Why did Haruka, with her already strained vocal cords, release another cover song?
Was she, by any chance, planning to release new songs at the same insane speed as before, even though she hadn’t fully recovered her vocal cords?
I didn’t know what exactly triggered her, but the thought that something was going wrong began to dominate my mind, and I became scared.
To be honest, I was really puzzled. The Haruka I knew wasn’t foolish enough to harm herself like this.
I’d jokingly called her a Übermensch, but that was because she really did perform flawlessly on broadcast.
But now, she seemed different from the Haruka I knew.
So I wanted to personally contact her and ask her why she was doing this, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Instead, I just wanted to beg her with a voice full of tears.
Please, take care of your vocal cords.
If Haruka can’t sing, she might just kill herself.
However, Kim Kanghyun, who had urgently contacted me yesterday, told me to focus on the debut broadcast and let him handle it, so I found myself stuck in a difficult situation.
“Sigh…”
I exhaled another sigh, not even sure how many times it had been, and grabbed my mouse.
Then, I looked at the two files on my desktop.
One was the ‘Tomorrow’s Night Sky Squadron’ song, which was set to be released after the debut.
And the other was a cover song that Kim Kanghyun had me work on just in case Haruka refused to accept the plan to replace her.
“What should I choose…”
Choosing a cover song for Velus is mostly done freely, though Kim Kanghyun gives advice.
That’s because unlike original songs, cover songs are entirely funded by the VTuber themselves.
The contract clause isn’t like how Velus forces its VTubers to release cover songs, but instead, there’s a vague statement requiring a certain amount of work to be released each quarter, meaning it’s up to the VTuber when and what kind of cover song they want to release.
Furthermore, the producer who works on the cover songs, Kim Hyunmin, isn’t officially part of the company but rather a partner, so all I have to do is hand over the work to him and pay him.
If someone like Azusa or Sumire, who has mixing skills, wanted to, they could just finish the work themselves and submit it with an illustration.
Of course, if it’s something dangerous like Haruka’s situation, Kim Kanghyun would step in, as he did yesterday to communicate.
However, Haruka hadn’t done anything that violated company policies.
That meant, even in my current confused state, I could choose one of these two cover songs to release.
“The Night Squadron… yeah, it’s probably too late to release this one.”
Releasing the first song now would be foolish. It would be like throwing gasoline on a fire.
The reaction from the fans of the rainbow would be strange, especially if Haruka didn’t sing it.
If I released it as my first cover song, it would make everything look odd.
But I couldn’t just use the second song either.
It was another song sung in Haruka’s style.
In fact, I had left it as a rough draft because the song and singing style didn’t match well.
There wasn’t even an illustration to go with the music video.
“…It’s already 3 a.m.”
Would I have enough time to re-record the second song and make the new illustrations for the cover before noon?
No, I had to do it.
The Haruka I knew wasn’t the one she was now.
And even though I had blindly trusted Kim Kanghyun, I realized that the idea of replacing Haruka was ridiculous.
Even if Haruka had swallowed her pride and accepted a replacement, it would still be disrespectful to the original Canary and the fans who loved Haruka.
Kim Kanghyun’s panic over the situation at Velus, and my fear about Haruka’s condition, had led us both to make a wrong decision.
“I get it now.”
Ironically, seeing Haruka like this made me realize how foolish I had been in my thoughts.
So instead of singing her songs, I would tell her directly from the opposite standpoint.
“You’re wrong now.”
Just rest until your voice heals, and then come back showing the same side of you as before.
Yeah.
I planned to counter Haruka’s cover song.
Currently, the Velus gallery was, of course, in a festive mood.
Not only did Haruka, who had been quiet on the music front for a while, make a flashy comeback, but the debut relay broadcast of the second generation was also unbelievably successful.
As a result, the gallery was flooded with endless traffic, and while people had complicated feelings, with Wuseo’s presence, who managed the gallery like a machine, it remained relatively clean, so there was nothing disturbing the VTubers.
And once again, it was time for the relay debut broadcast.
They were so full they looked like they were about to burst, but with happy smiles, they joined Azusa’s broadcast, the fourth batter of the second generation.
“Hehe… Everyone’s here, huh?”
And then we saw it.
“Heuuu… Everyone’s coming to see me, so I’m so happyyyyy~”
Really, a full-on menhera.
The brave souls in the Velus gallery ran off to the main thread, terrified by Azusa’s overwhelming menhera vibes.
“That… we can’t handle that.”
To them, it would’ve been better to deal with Kohaku ranting on broadcast. At least they didn’t suddenly hear something that sounded like a groan.
Feeling the seriousness of the situation, the coaches (Gonik) immediately entered a defensive shift meeting.
[Concept] [Azusa << If she was a properly crazy girl, I’d upvote it lol.jpg]
[Staring into the abyss…]
[Defense difficulty is too high…]
[So scared so scared so scared so scared so scared so scared so scared so scared so scared…]
[Menhera Menhera, I really found a crazy girl haha]
[Velus got another crazy girl!.jpg]
[If I don’t follow, I feel like I’ll get stabbed with a knife…]
[Did anyone else feel cold just now? That’s not RP.]
[Only those who can handle it should enter.]
[She’s sooo damn sexy… Heeuuu…]

I picked up a somewhat lacking child who randomly throws knives on the street and am currently rehabilitating them.
Please, Velus members, lend a bit of help too.

The meeting content was a little strange, but the hidden real meaning was simple.
‘Do you feel turned on?’
‘Do you think you can handle getting stabbed with a knife?’
‘Is she really a virgin? But since Kim Kanghyun picked her…’
That’s right.
Azusa was chosen by the warriors with a “triple-turn-on” choice…!
After such a deep shift meeting, the result came out that there were quite a few candidates for shortstops with very broad defensive ranges, and the Velus gallery quickly rotated them in.
“Ah, right. I didn’t change the story, huh… Oops… sorry?”
The shortstops who were rotated in soon found themselves in the midst of a collective frenzy.
In less than five minutes, Azusa had perfectly tamed 30,000 viewers.
But these shortstops were all prospects who would have won Gold Gloves if they had debuted in the major leagues.
They quickly adapted and began to immerse themselves in the broadcast Azusa had turned on late.
“Azusa, the daughter of the Succubus Queen, who is one of the high-ranking demons in hell, inherited the darkest bloodline of the Succubus. From a young age, she was forced to develop her ‘seductive instincts’… Her talent was in instinctively absorbing the energy of men… Heehee~ This is getting so dirty…”
The atmosphere was completely different from the cute illustrations of the members who debuted the previous day.
With the sticky and messy illustration, the viewers were wiping the cold sweat off their faces while swallowing their saliva.
“However, she rejected the essence of a succubus, which is to seduce others and gain energy… Despite her natural charm and abilities as a succubus, she fell into a kind of perfectionism, trying to maintain her ‘purity’… Rather than seducing, she had an ideal of filling her energy through love and emotional connection…!”
The viewers, who had been suppressing their anxious thoughts, stood up and gave Azusa a standing ovation at her outburst.
What was actually more important to them than the fear of getting stabbed was something else… It was the ‘virginity status.’
They thought that Kim Kanghyun wouldn’t let such RP pass, but they still hated the idea of Azusa possibly having the “non-virgin” trait because of her succubus nature.
However, the previous narration put their concerns to rest, and both Azusa and the viewers, who were now half-dazed, were fine with it.
Even the ones who had awkwardly reacted the day before, failing to adjust to the broadcast, were now fully immersed without realizing it. In fact, Azusa’s debut broadcast as a VTuber was already a success.
“But Azusa is a troubled person… No matter how much she tries to be pure, there are times when she can’t control her natural charm, and sometimes she ends up hating herself for unintentionally trying to seduce others… Woo.”
‘What? Can’t control it? That’s not good…!’
Again, I say, for them, virginity status is a crucial issue.
“Still, she feels anxious and has intense mood swings, so internally, she carries guilt and self-loathing for being born a succubus… Oh? If you guys don’t show her love, she might fall into corruption? Hehehe.”
With her playful, balloon-like deflating voice, the viewers felt themselves getting energized once again. And they admitted it. They couldn’t resist Azusa’s overwhelming presence.
They quickly accepted it and found themselves destined to become her loyal “human chairs,” supporting her every need.
They found themselves reacting to her every word, discovering that they had become her “meat shields.”
And now, she had gained devoted slaves who would be there for her throughout her VTuber career.
“Today was fun! You’ll all watch the next broadcast, right? Everyone, to Kotori’s broadcast!”
Thus, Azusa’s debut as the fourth batter ended successfully.
And now, the last batter remained:
The one who had a mysterious aura, who intentionally kept their mentions minimal in broadcasts to cover up their past of crying at the amusement park.
Despite their lack of communication while others were busy tweeting, they had already gathered a whopping 50 million followers even before debuting—Kotori.
