Novel Bin Chapter 7: [Nice To Meet You]
Chapter 7: [Nice To Meet You]
I was being briefed by Ah-nee about my debut.
First, my Vtuber model.
The illustration of a girl in a pure white academic gown that I have been using has already become synonymous with "Translator Girl," so we decided to keep the same design.
She also said that it would be better to hire a professional to do the job.
Monet Anegasaki is now a member of a major agency, but she made her debut as an individual VTuber by creating her 2D models.
Although she has such a high level of artistic ability, according to her, "It's just a hobby level.".
"You don't have to worry about it that much if it's a normal individual debut. The materials and stuff are all free, but Iroha-chan's expectations were different."
Her words carried the weight of his experience.
She had experienced both the sweet and sour sides of working for an individual and a major company, and her words carried the weight of her own experience.
"I have connections in that area, so leave it to me."
However, I was worried it would cost a lot of money to hire a professional.I was worried.
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money in my pocket.
"Don't worry about that. I'll pay for everything you need for your debut."
"What? I'm not going to go that far. I know that it was Ah-nee who asked me to make my debut, but…"
"Don't worry. The video has become a hit, and I can expect unexpected earnings. Not only the video ads and donations, but I also get a portion of the profits from the clippings."
"Wow, I didn't know that."
"I'll take it from there, so don't be shy. It's like Iroha-chan earned it herself. Rather, I felt sorry that I couldn't thank you enough until now. Giving cash to elementary school students is a bit bad."
For me, there is no reward more valuable than an autograph. I even thought it was too much.
I guess it depends on one's sense of value.
"The other thing is, between you and me, tax planning. I'd like to use some more money for expenses."
Ah-nee smiled mischievously.
According to her, the VTuber business is a difficult one to tax. In that sense, she said, investing in me is a very "reasonable" investment.
"Just so you know, you don't need models, right?"
She turns the monitor toward me.
There was a list of things I would need for my debut.
"The equipment: desktop computer, monitor, microphone, headphones, webcam, audio interface ……."
She traced the words with her finger as she read them out loud.
"Image editing software, video editing software, motion tracking software, delivery software …… standby screen, delivery screen, end screen, opening video, screen switching direction, standby BGM, BGM during the stream, BGM after the stream, logo ……"
"Wait, my head can't keep up."
"This is just the beginning, okay? you've got to set up the PC, the tracking, and the distribution software, and the hardest part is setting up the audio. You also have to create a Twitter account and advertise in advance. You also have to prepare promotional images and videos."
"Uh-huh."
"Of course, you have to open a MyTube channel. You also have to shoot a video introducing yourself. The day after your debut video, you should collabs with my channel, and draw viewers from there. ……No, it would be anomalous, but it would be better to release your self-introduction video after the collabs video. …… "
"Hee~!"
Debuting as a VTuber is so hard!
There are more VTubers than stars in the world, but are they all overcoming this?
"Don't worry. I'm here as an advisor, so you don't have to worry. It's a billion times easier than when I worked on my debut. And I'm guaranteed to get off to a good start. What an easy game. Hmmm."
"What?"New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
"I got permission from my manager, too, and it's all green. You're going to make your debut in a month at the earliest. ……Ah, I'll continue to collabs with you as I have in the past while we prepare. We mustn't stop providing material."
Ah-nee's eyes were fixed.
It's too late if I think "I might have been premature" now. Ah-nee had a firm grip on my shoulders. It didn't look like she was going to let me go.

From there, it was a flurry of activity.
After all, there were so many things to do.
Surprisingly, the hardest part was getting permission from my parents.
Ah-nee told me it was "Necessary" because it seemed that only minors would be allowed to monetize the business later.
They agreed to permit me to if I got a perfect score on all my school tests for a month.
I have no idea how it came to this, but I think this kind of exchange condition existed when I was a child.
What parents want from their children may be the same at every age.
However, this is easier said than done.
Even for elementary school tests, I was surprised at how hard it was to get a perfect score on all of them.
Thanks to this, I had to devote myself to my studies while preparing for my debut.
Did they force me to do that? Huh? Aren't schoolwork the main job of elementary school students?
Putting those questions aside, I took my classes seriously and did my review.

And a month and a half later.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Iroha, the translator girl!
I made my full-fledged VTuber debut.
