Chapter 46: VTuber Osorin

A few days ago, I was able to receive a somewhat completed modeling.

A sufficiently satisfying result.

Of course, it’s true that there are some awkward parts compared to the virtuals I remember, but if this level of quality is released now, it will definitely be a big issue.

“Hayoon, you worked hard. There were quite a few requests, but you listened to them all.”

-It’s okay. It’s much better to have many requests from the beginning like Racoon, rather than adding them in the middle.

We had already talked about the work dozens of times, so we naturally started talking on the phone.

Because Hayoon had a perfect and meticulous personality, she was able to make it more precise by asking me about the use and meaning of the movement for each part in the middle.

-But I was surprised. I didn’t expect you to think of stacking layers on the parts that move a lot to make it more natural. Are you really not majoring in this field?

“I thought of it when I remembered the standing image that Osorin is using in her broadcast. And it was Hayoon who made it look natural.”

-Th, that’s true. But is it really okay for me to use this as my portfolio?

“You made it, so of course. Hayeon also allowed it.”

-How did you find such an amazing illustrator….

An amazing illustrator and an amazing rigger.

The synergy between the two was perfectly matched, creating a tremendous result.

Osorin’s reaction to receiving it was like this.

-Racoon…. Can I really accept this?

“Of course, I made it to give it to you.”

-No, this is really…. I saw the progress little by little, but is that illustration really following me like this? Wow, it’s really amazing….

She slowly moved her face and examined her condition.

When she closed her eyes, she closed her eyes, when she tilted her head, she tilted her head, and when she opened her mouth, she opened her mouth.

In addition, almost all parts, such as winks, smiles, and corners of the mouth, were independently recognized and moved, expressing the face of the camera as it was.

Of course, basic stances such as expressionless or smiling can be expressed, but layers that are added, such as tears or angry expressions, must be switched manually.

‘But she’ll already be familiar with that with the standing image.’

The process is the same, so she’ll be able to adapt perfectly.

“Ah, and did you receive what I sent you?”

-Ah, yes. Stream Deck? This is amazing. It was hard to press several keyboard shortcuts at once, but with this, I can just click a button.

“If you set it up, you can also switch screens or play music on the broadcast. It’s very useful, so use it well.”

-It’s strange. My birthday is still far away. I keep receiving amazing things.

On the screen shown by screen sharing, Osorin’s character was blushing and embarrassed.

“You’re already using it well.”

-Because I’ve already done it once. Besides, you just have to press one button.

“There are various parts besides expressions, so check them out. You can also wear hats and glasses.”

-Oh, glasses! I like glasses.

Osorin couldn’t hide her joy, like a child who had received a new toy, and manipulated the virtual avatar here and there.

Seeing her researching which expression is prettier and which expression is cuter, I somehow felt a similar sensation to a regular cam broadcast.

Still, she’s a person with rich emotions and expressions, so there won’t be much difficulty.

‘If I turn on virtual, I think it will be expressionless all the time.’

People who don’t show their expressions well often have a smiling expression as their basic expression, but if that happens, sudden changes in expression are not well revealed.

It’s a broadcast that doesn’t reveal the face, but ironically, the virtual avatar of a cam broadcaster who reveals their face often feels more lively.

‘That would be an exception in Jina’s case. She also has almost no change in expression.’

However, not all VTubers have a smiling and lively image.

Some people deliberately acted expressionless to have their own role-playing and show their character.

“Then practice hard. It will be revealed 5 days later, on Osorin’s broadcast anniversary. It’s April 14th, right? It’s Saturday.”

-How do you know that? Even people who watched it for a long time don’t know it well because it was turned on sporadically in the past….

“I’m an editor, so I have to know my boss’s anniversary.”

Well, it’s just that I saw the date of the first broadcast when I first discovered Osorin before.

“Anyway, I’ll reveal it on Osorin’s broadcast anniversary, so think carefully about what I said and make it. Okay?”

-Yes! RP…, so it was character setting, right? And making a self-introduction PPT.

She nodded her head with a determined expression.

She’s a person who is desperate for anything related to broadcasting.

With that kind of confidence, she will definitely be able to prepare well.

I felt a little relieved looking at her turning her head around and making various expressions.

‘By the way, Hayeon didn’t see Osorin’s real face and only talked with her voice, right?’

Osorin’s character somehow felt very similar to her real self.

She investigated her tastes, personality, favorite foods, etc., and talked a little, and the character was created.

It really fit her perfectly, and it had a very similar appearance to the real thing.

It is often said in physiognomy that personality or behavioral habits are shown on the face, but I didn’t know it could be expressed to this extent.

Thanks to that, she also said that it felt like moving her own caricature.

So she said she felt less awkward when she first received it and moved it.

‘As expected of someone who caught the mister’s eye.’

An extraordinary genius.

I can only admire.

-Racoon, look at this!

While I was lost in thought, Osorin called me.

I raised my head and looked at the screen, and she was making a playful expression.

“What’s wrong?”

-Look carefully? One, two…, three!

Her blue eyes spread outwards.

-Heh.

“Ugh, damn!”

-If I laugh in this state, hehee~

“No, why did you put in such a function….”

-Isn’t it quite cute?

“…In what way?”

-Well, it’s cute.

What on earth is cute about it.

It’s just plain scary….

Broadcast title: Osorin’s 3rd Anniversary Festival!!!!!!! (Major Announcement)

[Welcome to Osori World!!!]

-The tension is no joke from the start

-Was today the 3rd anniversary of the broadcast?

-I don’t think even people who have been watching since the beginning would know lol

-Yeah, is it really the 3rd anniversary?

-No one knows, so if the streamer says so, then it is lol

-What’s the major announcement?

[At that time, I didn’t know any games, so I played Crazy Arcade. No one was watching, but I made the sound of falling into the water when I was trapped in a water balloon. Sigh…. When I think about it now, it was really pathetic.]

-It’s sad when only one viewer is watching

-But it’s really heartbreaking when I enter a hard-working broadcast

-That’s what’s good

-?

-So what are you doing today?

-It’s the 3rd anniversary, so you’ll definitely do something fun, right?

-A horror game to commemorate the 3rd anniversary?!

-Are you finally going to play Battlegrounds?!

-Does this guy only know Battlegrounds?

-So what’s the announcement

-? You’ve only been watching for 2 months

-Teacher, we don’t have any memories together

-Don’t recall memories that only you know, and turn on the horror game

-Battlegrounds Battlegrounds Battlegrounds Battlegrounds Battlegrounds

[Okay, okay. I’ll film something like a memory recollection separately on YouTube later.]

[Then let’s just chat today. Wait a minute, I’ll get something to eat.]

[…Here we go, what did I bring? Dragon fruit~]

[I like this because it looks like it will awaken when I eat it.]

-Osorin Official) Our memories are useless

-She’s cursing us as naturally as breathing now

-But it’s delicious

-When will you ever hear a woman curse

-Don’t you always hear it when you go outside?

-…I’m sorry

-Dragon fruit looks a bit cool, and it tastes good

-But why a mukbang all of a sudden

-Out of touch

[Yum, um. Ummm…. Um?]

[Huh, what.]

[M, my booodyyy!!!]

[]

-LOL

-I knew it

-There’s no way this year would do a normal chat broadcast lol

-I already learned it last time lol

-Osorin evolves lol

-In touch

[…Huh?]

[Here…?]

[Huh? Somehow my body feels lighter….]

[Gasp, my body…! It moooves!!!]

-?????????

-What is this

-What is it, is it a prerecorded broadcast?

-Crazy, what the lol

-Did you make an animation?

-Is that Live 2D or something

-Why is a VTuber coming out here???

-What’s that, you nerd

[Everyone, I ate dragon fruit and evolved, so I accidentally moved to the real world!]

[You can all see me moving, right?!

I didn’t know it was really the fruit of evolution…!]

[Still, it’s nice to be in the same world as you guys. I feel closer.]

[Ah, then since it’s like this, shall I introduce myself again? It’s also the 3rd anniversary, and I’ve newly entered your world.]

[Ta-da~ It’s a PPT with my information~]

-It’s so cute when it moves

-Is it actually moving, not AI?

-Skynet was real!

-Is the streamer actually making that expression?

-What, I’m not an otaku, but why is it cute

-Snap out of it!!! Guys!!!!!

-She made a PPT, I have to admit her sincerity

-Yeah, it’s ridiculous that a solo broadcast that doesn’t even belong to an MCN has such high quality

-That said, what’s with Honey Star in the place of origin

-She’s an Osori

[Sigh, drooling.]

[My favorite games are arcade or story games! And I also like healing games.]

[What I hate is, ugh…. Horror games, and puzzles…. So don’t make me do that.]

[I like moving! When I was a baby Osori, I played volleyball. And also…]

-It’s so cute when she smiles brightly every time she speaks

-It means she’s really smiling every time she speaks

-Swaying~

-What’s with her swaying her body all the time, is she flirting?

-You seduced me first, you seduced me first, you seduced me first

-But what’s with the setting, is she doing a situational play again?

-It’s a self-introduction, just type lol

-lol

-Baby Osori is damn, auntie, please stop acting cute;;

-lol

[
…Sigh, f*ck.]

[I’m sorry. I’ll stop.]

-LOL

-What did I see

-Cute! The best!

-It feels like seeing my older sister acting cute to her boyfriend

-Ugh

-Take a clip right now and send it to Jina

[We’re not the kind of people who will drift apart because of this, right?]

[Ah, and from now on, you guys are not viewers but honeybees, so know that.]

[If you build a house diligently, I’ll go eat it.]

[Chomp.
]

-Beeeee (Meaning, shut up)

-Beeee (Meaning, b*tch)

-Beeeeeeeeeee (Cute Osorin!)

-There’s a sycophant

-Beeeeeeeeeee (There are still reactionaries who speak human language)

-I think I’m going crazy I think I’m going crazy I think I’m going crazy

-Noona, lick me

-Hey

[Do you have to look closely? It’s really cute.]

[Watch carefully~ One, two…, three!]

-Ah shit!!!

-Damn it, I almost broke my monitor!!

[Cute, right? Then, next…]

The people who saw Osorin’s broadcast started writing posts on various communities to spread this news.

From internet broadcasting communities to virtual YouTube communities that are not very large in Korea.

It was the first time I had seen this style in Korean durahan-related broadcasts, and people who saw the natural movement doubted their eyes and watched the last broadcast.

As the posts analyzing what Osorin showed on the broadcast and small clips went up to the popular bulletin board one by one, it spread to various places.

And the content reached an unexpected place.

“まさか、バーチャルユーチューバー？ 韓国で？”

An article translated into Japanese.

She was shocked to see the attached video.
