My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 404: What’s a Vtuber?

-----

"A Vtuber is the best way to do it!" said Dan.

"Yeah! We agree!"

"Those that don't want to are just stupid to not realize their commercial potential!"

Dan rushed near Clementine as he showed her his phone. Clementine never got one because she found them useless garbage when she could easily communicate with anyone through Telepathy. However, she felt amazed as the little item showed images and other things. Dan quickly clicked the profile of a Vtuber and went into her channel, showing a stream she did last night.

"See? By just babbling around with a cute voice, she made almost a million yen in a single night! My lady, isn't that impressive?!" asked Dan.

"A million yen in a single night… It is not that much because we can easily make that but… seeing how this is just a mere mortal showing a moving drawing and talking nonsense… Compared to the effort we put into earning our money, it does seems like it is quite amazing. Perhaps this stupid trend might be worth it…" said Clementine.

"Nooo! My lady, you can't just do such a ridiculous thing!"

"Please, reconsider!"

"Yeah…!"

"…"

Clementine glanced at the three young Vampires opposing to this thing, as she glanced at the other four that wanted.

The ones that wanted it were more, and seemed more inspired. She didn't found this ridiculous but just an experiment either.

And then, she noticed that Harumi was looking without saying a word, surprised.

"Harumi, what do you think about this?" she asked.

As the eight young Vampire of the newest generation, she was about to decide the fate of this project.

"I… I've seen Vtubers. I think they are all stupid but… There is certainly something entertaining about them. I remember sleeping while listening to one, they are fun sometimes… I think… They also sell well and have merch…" she said rather shyly. Even the old Vampires were left shocked. Everyone had way higher expectations of her response, but Harumi wasn't at all a normal Vampire, she as very involved in the modern world through the internet, so she knew a lot.

"But, still I believe such a ridiculous thing-"

"Very well, we'll do it then. It is decided!" said Clementine.

The Vampires celebrated while others cringed…

"Yes! Let's fucking goooooo!"

"Woooooo!"

"A Vampire Vtuber! We'll get our own Vtuber!"

"Amazing! Thank you, Clementine-sama!"

"Noooo!"

"This is… cringe! I have Vtubers!"

"Harumi, ow could you?!"

Harumi was left shocked, she was about to say to not do it, but she ended being interrupted by Clementine.

"Wait… I…" muttered Harumi, but her voice was too low, and the celebrating Vampires screamed too loudly.

"I wonder how we can do it. Should some of us be the Vtuber?" wondered Clementine.

"Ah! My lady, how about Harumi? She's the one that likes Vtubers too!" said Dan.

"Is that so? If you do, I will compensate you well, girl," said Clementine, liking the idea.

"Eh? Ah… I…"

"She said it was okay!" said Dan, as everyone celebrated, they didn't even heard her response.

"Very well, for now on, you will be the Vtuber that will help people donate more blood, Harumi. I have great expectations on you," said Clementine, smiling pleasantly.

Harumi's eyes were filled with despair, her lips trembling in nervousness.

How did she ended up in such a situation?!

"Ah… W-Wait…" she muttered.

"It is an order, you cannot take back your word," said Clementine.

"But I didn't said… any word…" sighed Harumi, she felt like her world was crumbling apart!

How could a shy girl such as her do things such as being a Vtuber?!

She wasn't charismatic at all, unlike all other Vtubers! She was going to be a failure from the get-go, she already knew that she would end as one!

"What do I do?!" she thought.

But at the end… She couldn't do anything against the order of her matriarch…

…

Days after this incident, Frank had come back to Earth and was now walking to the territory of the Vampires with Matsuo, Gwendolyn, Axitl, and Orb.

He was watching something on his phone, in the streaming app, there was a very cute Vtuber with red-colored hair, an eyepatch in her left eye with a heart on it, crimson-red eyes, and a cute black and red dress. Her ears were pointy and her skin pale-white, she also showed her hands sometimes, which were like long and sharp claws.

This was the newest Vtuber that debuted some days ago, it was a Vtuber made directly by the "government" to incentivize people to donate blood.

She was named Scarlet-chan.

"Hi… Scarlet-chan here… Have you guys donated blood… yet? Please, donate blood… O-Onii-chan… I am very thirsty… S-So… will you… give me your blood? Pretty please…?" she said, as the chat went crazy.

[I will donate all my blood so Scarlet-chan can be well feed!]

[Please drink all my blood!]

[My queen, drink my blood! I donated a liter yesterday! I feel a bit dizzy, but it was fine!]

Frank noticed that her latest stream had over a million viewers, there were people even from overseas watching her, as her streams were amazing in the way there were perfect automatic subtitles the moment she streamed, there were no language barriers!

Frank recognized this voice.

The voice of a very stoic and calm girl, often cold…

"This is really Harumi's voice!" he said.

"Haha! Yeah, I never thought she would become a Vtuber," said Matsuo.

"Is this real life?!" asked Frank, he couldn't believe the ridiculousness of the situation.

"Yeah… They made a Vtuber to incentivize blood donation, because Vampires here are below a rule where they cannot hunt as much as they want, so the best source for blood are Blood Banks… But people has stopped donating lately, perhaps due to the growing disinterest and nihilism of the Japanese population," said Matsuo.

"So they made a Vtuber?! Why did they made Harumi do it?!" asked Frank.

"Apparently, she seemed to be perfectly fine with that, or so I heard…" said Matsuo.

"W-What?! I don't know what to think anymore…" sighed Frank.

"But hey, donations skyrocketed since her debut, now the Vampires are making merchandise of her, and it hasn't even been a month since she showed up. She's also making a lot of money by just streaming, yesterday's stream earned her around 10 million yen, she's crushing the Hololive girls too," said Matsuo.

"This is the weirdest timeline…" sighed Frank.

"What's a Vtuber?" wondered Axitl.
