Chapter 42: Recruiting a fifth member?!

Live on YOLOLive

YOLOLive conducting early interviews for new members?!

This stream, as you can see, is only broadcast after the candidate has already passed the internal company interview.

While it’s made to look like their first audition, in reality, it’s just a performance interview for show.

Seria, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but be shocked.

“What? Lily’s auditioning?”

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Without hesitation, she clicked on the live broadcast.

As always, the familiar SD character of Lisanne was seated in a VR office.

And in front of her sat someone using a default avatar.

Above their head was a familiar name—Lily.

“Welcome, Lily. My name is Lisanne Altraina, and I am the CEO of YOLOLive.”

“Hello. I’m Lily, currently a cam streamer.”

“Pleasure to meet you. This is quite unexpected. While most of our applicants have prior experience managing their own channels or doing online broadcasts, you are the first person with zero connection to subculture to apply for an interview.”

– Well, VTubing is pretty difficult for regular folks.
– From basic roleplay alone, normies would struggle ㅋㅋㅋ
– If you don’t have any knowledge of this world, it won’t click for you anyway.

Lisanne ignored the chat and continued looking at Lily as she conducted the interview.

“Let me ask one thing first. Why are you, Lily, choosing to transition from your successful cam streaming career to become a VTuber?”

Since she was using a default avatar with no facial tracking, her expression couldn’t be seen.

But from her subtle gaze alone, it was clear that she wasn’t here on a whim.

After a brief silence, she lifted her head, met Lisanne’s eyes, and answered with confidence—

“Because there is someone I want to meet.”

– Ooooooooh~~
– Kyaaaaaaa!!
– For one person!!
– For that person!!
– Lily’s devotion is on another level!!
– That person ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– We all know who she means ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The chat exploded with excitement.

Even without saying a name, everyone already knew who Lily was referring to.

“Hahaha! So, you applied to our company with rather impure intentions.”

“Well, I’ve always been somewhat interested in this field.”

– Because that person loves VTubers ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– She just wants to get into their interestsㅋㅋ
– And let’s not forget—this is also where her biggest rival is activeㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Wow, nothing’s even happened yet, and why am I so nervous?
– Damn, I’M the one feeling anxiousㅋㅋㅋ
– Lily didn’t even say it outright, yet everyone instantly understood ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lisanne, having a general idea of what was happening, chose to feign ignorance and continued with the broadcast.

“You’re quite the bold one. Then again, Talsseong was also rather bold when she was accepted.”

– Oh come on, Talsseong was on a whole different level ㅋㅋㅋ
– What even needs to be said about Talsseong? ㅋㅋㅋ
– She’s a living legend.

“If you join our company as a VTuber, you’ll be given a custom avatar created by our studio. Of course, you’re not required to use the avatar for every stream. You can still do face cam streams occasionally, just like before.”

“That’s fine with me.”

“But still, many of your current viewers tune in specifically to see you on camera. There’s no guarantee they’ll follow you after you redebut as a VTuber. This could be a very risky move.”

That was an undeniable fact.

Lily was a well-known cam streamer in the industry.

As a succubus, she attracted male viewers with her overwhelming physical appeal.

Yet, surprisingly, 30% of her audience was female—an unusually balanced ratio.

Most of her viewers were ordinary people.

People who simply came to watch a beautiful succubus.

If Lily were to redebut as a VTuber, those without an interest in subculture would inevitably drop off.

At worst, she could lose over 80% of her audience.

“If I was worried about that, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”

Despite Lisanne’s realistic concerns, Lily responded with unwavering resolve.

More than that—

Lily had already made an official announcement about her VTuber debut on her stream.

– Wherever Lily goes, I’ll follow!!
– VTuber? Sure!! I just love Lily!!
– Ah, I already watch VTubers, and now Lily’s becoming one too? Niceㅋㅋㅋ
– I wonder what kind of beautiful avatar she’ll use?

Of course, some people did leave after the announcement.

But the vast majority stayed.

Yes, appearances matter in streaming.

But the fact that so many people chose to follow her anyway proved something—

It wasn’t just her looks that attracted her audience.

It was her personality.

If she wasn’t genuinely charming, people would have easily abandoned her the moment she announced her transition.

That’s just the harsh reality.

Even without Lily, there were plenty of other cam streamers to replace her.

“If you’re accepted, what kind of content do you want to create?”

“I want to continue doing what I’ve always done—creating a healing space for people who come home exhausted from work and daily life.”

Then, Lily added—

“I also want to show everyone a new, more beautiful version of myself and make my streams even more entertaining.”

“Fufu, I like that. Then, let me ask you one last thing.”

Lisanne paused for a moment, then smiled slyly.

“If you could meet that person right now…

What would you do?”

– THAT!!
– PERSON!!

– Uwaaakkkkkk!!
– That person, the one we all know ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Wait, they’re here?!

Hearing Lisanne’s question, Lily answered firmly and without hesitation.

“I don’t want to meet them yet.”

– ?!!!
– ???
– Wait, what?!
– Why?!

“Oh? And why is that?”

“Because I want to stand before them with confidence after I receive my acceptance.”

– Kyaaaaaaa!!
– This is IT!!
– Damn, that was cool, Lily!!
– Seriously, Talsseong is screwed ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Hahahaha! I like that! Well then…”

From there, the conversation drifted into lighthearted small talk.

It was more of a casual talk show than a serious interview.

Yet despite this, Lily remained completely composed, naturally keeping up with the flow of the conversation.

Unexpectedly, viewers also discovered that Lily actually had some knowledge of subculture.

– Wait, she actually watches anime?
– I assumed she was a total normie, but that’s not the case at all?
– She even dabbles in drawing? That’s unexpected;;

“You must be pretty good at drawing, then?”

“Oh, I wouldn’t say that. I just doodle when I’m bored. It’s nothing to brag about.”

“You must’ve had a hard time keeping that hidden on your streams until now.”

“Not really. It’s not like I had any reason to show it during my usual streams. That’s why I naturally ended up here.”

“Great! Well, that concludes today’s interview! The results will be announced later through a video on our channel.”

“Thank you.”

After the interview broadcast ended, the community immediately erupted in posts.

Title: Lily’s avatar is obviously going to be a succubus, right?

Bruh, isn’t this hype?! We’ll finally get to see a sexier side of her that she couldn’t fully show as a cam streamer.

– Yeah, honestly, VTuber regulations are more relaxed than cam streaming.
– But I’m excited. YOLOLive’s technology is insane. Their 2D models are on another level.
└ True, but the real deal is the 3D model. Seria’s was great, but Talsseong’s 3D model was legendary.
└ Seriously, Talsseong’s Fairy Queen model was insane.
– The Fairy Queen that made every man tremble in fear ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Title: Talsseong & Lily are not dead!

This is a guaranteed pass.

Once Lily is accepted and debuts as a VTuber, she’ll be right there competing with Talsseong. I guarantee it.

– Uh, excuse me? Talsseong is already busy with Seria.
– Uh, then just make it a threesome~
**└ And thus, everyone dies… **
**└ RIP the polar bears’ habitat!!! **
– LILY & TALSSEONG FANCLUB LIVES ON!!!
– I’m so hyped for Lily’s VTuber debut.

Title: But isn’t Lily going to lose a lot of viewers by becoming a VTuber?

Her entire brand was built on her succubus physique. Slapping an avatar on her is going to kill that appeal, isn’t it?

– What are you talking about? People don’t watch Lily’s streams just for her face or body.
└ I watch for the body.
└ I watch for the face.
**└ I watch for both. **
└ I watch specifically for the face and body.
└ Y’all are insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Lily’s already committed to becoming a VTuber.

– But she did say she’ll still do occasional face cam streams. Just much less frequently than before.
└ The less frequent part is what matters ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Sure, a lot of people said they’d follow her when she announced it… but let’s see what happens on re-debut day.

Title: YOLOLive is really pushing their tempo hard lately.

Talsseong debuted just recently, and now they’re already adding a fifth member.

Didn’t expect them to move this fast.

– C’mon, how could they not grab Lily? It’s a huge win for YOLOLive.

– She already has solid name recognition, and switching from cam streaming to VTubing is such a unique case that it guarantees massive buzz.

└ Plus, she’s already a red pill VTuber. It’ll be super easy to attract new fans.
└ MJ MJ, this is it. You can’t tell me this isn’t peak content. A gorgeous, busty succubus VTuber debuting? I literally can’t resist ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Then, time passed.

And finally—

A new channel video was uploaded, announcing the results.

As expected—

It was a congratulatory video confirming her acceptance.

Watching that video, Seria chewed her fingernail with a troubled expression.
