The Villainess VTuber Tears People Apart

【Whistleblower】 I’m Exposing Rion-senior’s Secret 【Shiroki Anna/EYEAI】*

“…What is this?”

Rion stared at the broadcast title, momentarily doubting her eyes.

An exposé?

What was she talking about?

‘…Could she be talking about me quitting as a VTuber?’

That was the only thing that came to mind. Currently, the only person who knew that Rion was quitting as a VTuber and transitioning to a manager role was Anna.

But… would Anna really reveal that on her own?

It didn’t make sense. After all, Rion had already discussed it with management and had agreed to post an official retirement notice soon. The date of her last broadcast and the future management of her channel had all been decided.

She had planned to announce these details on her own stream… but Anna was going to say it first?

That didn’t seem right.

‘It can’t be anything too serious.’

If management had approved it, the broadcast couldn’t be too dangerous. Maybe it was just a clickbait title?

But even so, she had no idea what the exposé could be.

No matter how much she thought about it, there was only one conclusion. She had to hear it directly from Anna.

Nekozuka Rion

[What’s with the broadcast title?]

[What exactly are you planning to expose?]

Shiroki Anna

[You’ll find out when you watch.]

Nekozuka Rion

[No way;;]

[You should at least tell me beforehand;;;]

Shiroki Anna

[I’ll send you a server invite.]

[You can join if you want.]

《You’ve been invited to a server: ‘Special Broadcast Server’》

Rion joined the Discord server Anna had sent her.

But there was nothing there except a single text channel and a voice channel. The only participants were Anna and herself.

Nekozuka Rion

[There’s nothing on this server?]

[Why did you even create it;;]

Shiroki Anna

[There’s a reason.]

Nekozuka Rion

[So tell me what it is already. This is driving me crazy;;]

Shiroki Anna

[Just wait a bit.]

Nekozuka Rion

[Did you want to collaborate with me or something?]

[If we’re going to collaborate, you should give me a heads-up.]

Shiroki Anna

[I’m prepping for the stream, so I’ll stop chatting for now.]

“She’s really not telling me anything.”

Rion was dumbfounded, but that was just how Anna was.

You could call her unplanned. She was impulsive by nature and would often spend a large amount of money on gacha games during her streams.

On top of that, she rarely regretted her actions, which made it hard for her to curb her impulsive tendencies.

‘…Well, it’s probably nothing serious, right?’

Though Anna wasn’t exactly normal, she was a good person at heart.

There shouldn’t be any problems.

Rion convinced herself of that.

[As the broadcast title suggests, I’m here to expose a major secret about Rion-senior.]

[So, I’ve invited a guest.]

Anna said this on the screen.

A guest?

Who could it be? Was it me? Was that the meaning behind the server invite?

But she hadn’t mentioned anything about being a guest. She only said I could join if I wanted.

[Guest, please come in.]

-Ding-

A Discord sound effect played on Anna’s stream, and suddenly, another person joined the server.

[Hello.]

[I’m Rion’s cousin.]

“…What?”

Rion’s eyes widened in shock.

***

-Nekozuka Rion¶:???

-Nekozuka Rion¶:What is this?

-Nekozuka Rion¶:Why is my unnie there?

-Lololololol

-Rion was watching, lololol

-Give me your cousin, Rion!

-Her voice is amazing.

-Wowww

The chat was on fire.

But probably not as hot as the tea in front of me.

I sipped my tea with a slight smile.

[Yes, today, Rion-senior’s cousin has joined us.]

[First, let’s talk about how we met, shall we, Teacher?]

Anna’s voice echoed through my headphones.

It had been a while since I sat in front of my PC. According to Anna, I shouldn’t stream in VR for now.

“You can make your avatar however you want in virtual reality. Not to mention, you can create a voice too.”

“Of course, you can use a voice changer on PC as well, but it modifies your input voice.”

“So, it’s better to use PC Discord first so that people won’t suspect your gender as much.”

Apparently, the VTuber world had been riddled with gender controversies since its inception.

There was someone called N〇ra. She was a VTuber who used a cute female model, but it turned out that an old man was the one performing.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if people thought I was a man.

But I felt bad for Anna, who kept getting caught up in boyfriend rumors, so I agreed to appear on her stream via PC Discord.

“How should I explain how we met?”

[Hmm…, I should start with my side of the story. I wanted to get better at Labyrinthos. My viewers were always giving me a hard time.]

-Aren’t you the one who bullies us?

-I almost had a stroke watching her stream.

-Give us some ASMR.

-Every time I watch your Labyrinthos stream, I feel like I’m dying.

-I felt severe headaches, fever, and nausea.

[What nonsense…]

[So, I told Rion-senior that I wanted to get better at Labyrinthos, and she introduced me to her cousin, who’s really good at it.]

[Remember how I did pretty well as a Technomancer recently? It’s all thanks to Teacher’s great teaching.]

“As Anna said, it’s all thanks to me. So, viewers, feel free to praise me. I’ll allow it.”

-Teacher, your character is so quirky, lol.

-We praise you, Teacher!

-Your way of speaking is so unique, lol.

-But how did you teach our dear idiot?

-Hey, don’t be so harsh on our little idiot.

-Anna, every night before bed, you should bow three times towards Teacher.

The chat reactions were great. I didn’t expect them to welcome me so warmly without even showing my face.

Well, I am the Ducal Family’s noblewoman, so my voice is as beautiful as my face. Finding an unattractive part of me was an impossible task.

My flaw? The only flaw I have is that I’m too perfect.

So, just hearing my voice was a great honor for them. After all, a Ducal Family’s noblewoman wasn’t someone they could casually interact with.

Of course, there was one person who didn’t welcome me.

Nekozuka Rion

[Why can’t I join the voice channel?]

[Voice channel limit set to 2 people?]

[@Shiroki Anna]

[Aren’t you going to open the door?]

[What’s going on?]

[Hey!!!!!]

Rion was causing a ruckus not only in the chat but also on Discord.

Naturally, Anna and I ignored her.

[Since we’ve explained the nature of our relationship, let’s get to the main event.]

[Teacher, please make the revelation.]

“Shall I?”

“It was a little while ago. I watched Rion’s stream for the first time. To be honest, I didn’t even know Rion was a VTuber.”

[When Rion-senior introduced me to Teacher, she said, ‘Let’s keep the VTuber thing a secret.’]

[But Teacher knew before you two even met, right?]

“Yes. Rion had used my computer for a bit and forgot to log out, so her account popped up in my algorithm.”

-Nekozuka Rion¶:What?

-Nekozuka Rion¶:Is this for real?

-Stupid Rion, lolololol

-Wasn’t her dumb act just roleplay?

-Oh, Rion…

“When I watched the stream, she ended every sentence with ‘nyan’. She never did that with me.”

I said this.

I didn’t mention how Rion edited my replay videos or the emails she had sent. Rion had requested that her personal matters not be disclosed on the stream.

[Rion-senior doesn’t say ‘nyan’ in her everyday life?]

“At least, I’ve never seen her do it around her family.”

[I see. So, what is Rion-senior usually like?]

“She’s a diligent and kind child. Do you all know that Rion lives at my house?”

[Oh, Rion-senior mentioned that on a stream. So the viewers probably know.]

“Then this will be quick. Rion has been living at my house for three years, and in exchange, she takes care of the cooking and cleaning.”

[Hold on. Let me pull up a photo.]

A picture of pasta appeared on the broadcast screen.

[Rion-senior made this.]

-Hmm.. This looks wife-worthy to me.

-If I marry Rion, does Teacher come as a package deal?

-Why is Rion so good at cooking?

-Hello Rion, I’ve liked you since I first saw you. I’ve confessed my feelings before, but you never accepted them. I liked you first. I liked you first. I liked you first.

-Nekozuka Rion¶:No way

-Nekozuka Rion¶:I made that today

-Nekozuka Rion¶:When did you take that picture?

[So, Rion-senior prepares meals like this every day? And she does the cleaning too?]

“Yes.”

I confirmed.

Strictly speaking, we ordered takeout quite often, so Rion didn’t cook every day. But in this case, it was best to hype Rion up as much as possible.

-She’s a perfect wife.

-Isn’t this out of character? Why is she so good at housework??

-If Rion isn’t an idiot, then what are we supposed to be?

-But does she really do all the housework alone? Lol

-Well, if she’s freeloading, she should at least do that, lol

-This is basically a housemaid situation.

[Thanks for sharing a different side of Rion-senior. How much of her streams have you watched, Teacher?]

“I haven’t watched much. Just a bit of her playing Labyrinthos.”

[Then you haven’t seen her first stream?]

“Her first stream?”

-Nekozuka Rion¶:?

-Nekozuka Rion¶:What are you trying to do now?

-Nekozuka Rion¶:Why are you suddenly bringing up my first stream?

[This will show you the true side of Rion-senior.]

The pasta picture disappeared from the broadcast screen.

In its place was a video file.

【First Stream】 Nekozuka Rion’s First Stream, Nyan! 【EYEAI 4th Gen】

-Boom!

“Turn off the stream! What the heck are you doing!!!”

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!

The sound of frantic knocking echoed.

Rion’s voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

-You can hear Rion’s voice, lololol

-So they really were living together???

-Rion is panicking, lololol

-Does she not say ‘nyan’ in real life?

-Was I the only one taking this seriously? Is being a VTuber a joke to you?**

“Why did you lock the door again…? Open the door! Open the door!! Unnie, stop her from streaming! Hurry!!”

Her screams were desperate.

Later, I found out that the most hated video among VTubers was their ‘first stream.’

Because it was their debut, they were either overly enthusiastic or incredibly nervous.

As a result, their concept wasn’t well-defined, or on the flip side, they overdid it.

For most VTubers, their first stream was a cringeworthy memory.

[Nyan, Nyanyanya… W-What was it… Uh, right. N-Nekozuka Rion is here, nyan….]

[I-I came from the cat planet…, no, I mean, I came from there, nyan…. I’m the Nekomimi Princess, uh, the Nekomimi Princess, nyan.]

[Today is my debut as an EYEAI 4th gen, uhm, debut, nyan! Please take care of me, nyan!!]

“Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!”

Rion screamed.

When I opened the door, I found Rion convulsing on the floor.
