Chapter 555 - Chapter 495 Live Stream Restart: Prioritizing Impact!
Night. I was currently at the studio, preparing for the live stream.
Yata-sensei and I were sitting opposite each other on the waiting area sofa, and Mion was changing.
Since it was an avatar outfit, she usually changes instantly, but she was stepping out, which meant…
"Sorry to keep you waiting. How do I look?"
"Yeah. You look incredibly beautiful, and it suits you perfectly."
Mion appeared, dressed in the Jade Goddess Outfit she received from the official IRO team.
Apparently, she received a message saying she would be releasing an album in September, so they wanted her to perform live in the Jade Goddess Outfit to promote it.
"The impact for the live stream restart is perfect, too~," Yata-sensei said with a smile.
It was her first live stream in a while, and having her there was incredibly reassuring, but,
"Yata-sensei, aren't you going back home?"
"My family home is nearby~. My parents are noisy, so I live alone~, but going home is like a 15-minute walk~."
"I see…"
Wow, she even says her parents are noisy.
Mion sat down in her chair, as she usually does for her streams, but the mismatch with the Goddess Outfit was striking.
"I feel like the studio needs a renovation~."
"I thought the same thing."
"Shou-kun~, can't you make it look good~?"
"That's a bit sudden…"
Being asked to do something so unreasonable is troubling, but when Mion looks at me with expectant eyes… I'm weak, I know.
First, Mion's chair, the office chair, into something throne-like… No, that's not right.
She's a Goddess, not a queen…
"Ah, this is it. I'll change the entire set."
I could temporarily place items before purchasing, so I chose a Western-style garden and swapped the entire set.
This alone looked quite good, but I added a small, white round table and chairs, giving it an unmistakable tea party vibe.
"How's this?"
"I think it's great!"
"Shou-kun, where should the screen showing your stream be?"
I had Mion sit down and adjusted the position of the screen where I would appear.
In the end, we concluded that the table was in the way of showing off the outfit, so we removed it.
Well, if it comes to needing anything more, it's probably better to contact the operations team and ask them to build a new studio.
………
……
…
We had some time before the live stream, so I prepared for today's food porn.
"How will today's live stream go~?"
"It'll start with Mion's outfit and the upcoming recording schedule."
"Yes."
Then, it'll transition to me, starting in the backyard.
We'll all eat together, and I'll introduce Ato, who's here today.
Once things settle down, I'll ask Shal to bring Rigel, and finally, I'll play the piano that arrived, and we'll all sing to end it.
"I see~. By the way, what's for dinner today~?"
"Stew. A very hearty one."
The vegetables were cut into slightly large, chunky pieces.
I also added thick-cut Ranziboa bacon, so it would be very filling.
"Can I have some later?"
"Of course."
One of the good things about being able to come to the island was that I could finally eat the food I cooked.
However, this time, I only had time to cook and taste it, so it might be hard to resist eating it all now.
"~ ~ ~?"
"Don't worry, Sweee's group, I'll make apple sweets for you."
When I told Argenta-san's group I wanted more apples during their last visit, they dumped about a box full into my preservation box.
I planned to use those to make simple caramelized apples.
"Ryu?"
"Nyan Nyan."
"Uu."
I was in charge of cooking, but Pan, Shal, and Ato's groups were helping with preparing the table and tableware.
Speaking of which, there are some Carbuncles who are friendly with Ato's group of Ghillie Dhu, and they seem to be living in the forest over there.
"It's almost time~."
"Ah, yes."
"Roger. Um, Lupi~?"
When I'm cooking or doing other tasks, Lupi is usually chasing Leda and Roy around, but…
"Wafu!"
""Bau!""
Lupi's group appeared from the very back of the backyard, leaping over the hedge.
Lupi ran straight to me and jumped, while Leda and Roy came to a perfect sit on either side of me.
"It's about to start."
"Wafun."
As I sat down in my chair, she gently lay at my feet.
Alright, the comment section is… okay.
The broadcast should feature Mion's studio talk for a while, so I'll just sit here and wait…
"10 seconds… 5, 4, …"
"Everyone, welcome to Mion and Shou's Relaxed Showtime! I'm Mion, your host. Nice to meet you!"
[Xiumei]: "Wooooah!"
[Bluesha]: "Jade Goddess is here!"
[Daytron]: "[Jade Goddess Descends: ¥10,000]"
[Bearmen]: "Soooo cuteee~♪"
etc. etc…
Perhaps because it was her first live stream in a while, and Mion was wearing the Jade Goddess Outfit, the viewers' excitement was off the charts.
Daytron-san's high donation served as a catalyst, and donations started pouring in at an incredible rate.
"Ah, thank you very much. Um, this outfit was officially given to me by the IRO operations team…"
She briefly explained how she received it during the previous PV recording, how it's the only one in the world, and that only Mion can wear it.
[Nightny]: "Ops team GJ!"
[Kokkuri]: "She's the official Goddess, after all~ (´∀｀*)"
[Rogappo]: "Could you please stand up and turn around?"
[Yosoro]: "This is divine management!"
etc. etc…
"Mion-san~. If it's alright~, please stand up and turn around~. I'll control the camera~."
Perhaps thanks to Yata-sensei's excellent follow-up, Mion stood up and seemed to turn around.
And that, again, resulted in an incredible flood of donations…
"Alright, let's connect to the island soon~."
Oh, it seems it's my turn.
"Um, alright then, we'll connect to the island now. Shou-kun, Lupi-chan, everyone on the island~!"
