The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 133: So What did we do Now?

Receiving the planning document, the first thought that came to mind.

What does it mean to "fight over me"?

"I’m no one’s possession. Do you really think anyone in this world could hold me?"

No one claims the sun as theirs, do they?

Similarly, the idea of someone possessing the great Duchess Aurora is physically impossible.

"It’s not that complicated. The person who wins here just gets the right to collaborate with Laura, simple as that." "Isn’t collaboration something that can be done easily anytime?" "Hmm. Well, how about the right to travel together? Or the right to have a meal together?"

Louis spoke lightly.

"Actually, the prize doesn’t really matter." "It doesn’t?" "Yeah. In the end, a planned broadcast doesn’t really care about who wins. As long as the process is fun, that’s what matters."

The participants are competing for me. The setup itself is what’s interesting, and once the broadcast is over, what happens after doesn’t matter all that much.

"It’s like the romance manga where the pre-dating phase is the most fun."

If that’s the case, then the winner of the "Aurora Battle" can... just be invited over for a meal at my house.

That wouldn’t be too difficult. If it’s cooking, I can leave it to Leon; he’ll handle it.

But...

"What do we actually gain from this plan?" "Publicity, experience from a planned broadcast, we can increase the subscriber count, and most importantly, we can show who Aurora really is... and—my relationship with you."

Louis said.

"I applied to the Fantasy League for popularity. And Laura, you applied for the Fantasy League for a reason, didn’t you?" "That’s right." "I won’t ask what that reason is, but if you use me, you’ll be able to achieve it more easily."

So, you’re planning to first use me for this broadcast?

Louis’s wording is aggressive, but it’s not wrong.

Whether it’s family, friends, or lovers, when you break it down, aren’t all relationships based on mutual use?

It’s just a matter of how much affection, dedication, and care you give in the process, and how much heart you put into it. That’s the only difference.

"Of course, if Laura doesn’t like it, we can forget about it. This project can only proceed with your cooperation, Laura, so your feelings are the most important."

And even though Hanabane Louis is calculating, he doesn’t cross the line.

He’s just an ambitious person, not a villain.

So, I wouldn’t mind accepting Louis’s proposal, but...

"Do I have to answer right now?" I said that I wanted to think about it a little more.

Louis’s project sounded fun. And honestly, there was no real hardship for me involved.

But one thing...

‘Personally, I want to push for Inagika.’

Our current goal is AoiS one-man live.

For that, all of our 6th batch members need 3D models, but while Sora and I are in production, Inagika and Chell haven’t even been discussed yet.

If we want to gain recognition, we could stir up attention in various communities or participate in events, but neither Chell nor Inagika are the type to push for that kind of thing.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

They’re not enthusiastic about external collaborations either, though they’ve been doing TRPG collaborations recently.

So, if we can get help from Louis, who specializes in large-scale projects, it would definitely be beneficial.

"You can give your answer later. Anyway, this project will take about 1-2 months to prepare." "That long? Why?" "First, the participants aren’t confirmed yet, and even once they are, we have to coordinate schedules."

Currently, the only confirmed participants are Louis and me—just two.

We also need to invite guests: Sora, Anna, Shina, and Mero. Four people.

At least six people, maybe more, will need to gather at the same time and on the same day, so scheduling will definitely take some time.

"Most importantly, everything has to follow a sequence." "Sequence?" "First, the Leviathan collaboration has to be done."

Thud thud.

Louis tapped on the chalkboard as he explained.

For example, let’s say the Aurora Battle is happening tomorrow.

What kind of reaction will the viewers have?

-"Why are they helping someone from another team? Aren’t they supposed to help their own team?"

-"Something like this is what we’re expecting."

So, Louis explained that it’s crucial to prioritize taking care of the Leviathan team members first.

The world is vast, and there are all kinds of people in it.

Some viewers will think nothing of it, while others will overinterpret everything. Especially fans of virtual YouTubers, Louis mentioned, tend to do that more often.

I also needed time anyway.

I needed time to sort out my thoughts.

Time to discuss with Inagika and Chell.

And it would be nice to talk things over with Sora and Leon as well.

So, I didn’t have much objection to prioritizing the Leviathan collaboration.

Inui Kirin

[So what game are we playing?]

This was the issue.

What game are we going to play?

Hanabane Louis

[Anyone have game recommendations?]

[Last time, Laura recommended Asersal.]

Kaga Mero

[Hmph.]

Inui Kirin

[Isn’t it the zombie game?]

[I don’t like scary stuff.]

Barubara Rian

[What about playing "Magical Village"?]

[Wouldn’t it be fun to gather in the living room and play together?]

Inui Kirin

[Isn’t that a single-player game?]

Barubara Rian

[We can take turns playing.]

Hanabane Louis

[Magical Village might be too difficult.]

[And for the first game, I think it’s better to pick something that everyone can play together.]

Aurora

[I also disagree with Magical Village.]

[If I clear it with a one-coin playthrough, then no one else will have anything to do.]

Barubara Rian

[Can you really clear it with one coin..?]

Aurora

[It’s not something I’ve tried before, so I can’t say for sure.]

[Do you want me to try it?]

Barubara Rian

[Umm...]

Kaga Mero

[What about something like "Among Us"?]

[I’m okay with Mafia too.]

Aurora

[That’s awkward with the number of people.]

[There are six of us, right?]

[If we assume there are two impostors, the impostors will win right from the start with a double kill.]

Kaga Mero

[What if we reduce it to one impostor?]

[Would that make the impostor too disadvantaged?]

Inui Kirin

[What about "Overcooked"?]

[Wait, isn’t that for four players?]

Barubara Rian

[Yeah, it’s for four players.]

Finding a game we could all play together was more difficult than expected.

There are surprisingly few games for six players. Most party games are made for four players.

Additionally, I wanted to avoid games with strong physical elements.

‘A game where everyone can contribute individually would be ideal.’

Some might misunderstand, but I don’t actually crave being the one to carry the game.

I just have a strong desire to win, and based on my experience, I’ve found that I have better chances when I take the reins myself.

On the other hand, if I’m guaranteed a win, I wouldn’t mind letting someone else take the lead.

After all, handling the reins can be exhausting. So, I’d rather leave the small stuff to others and only step in as the emergency backup when needed.

Excluding physical games made finding the right one even harder.

As I mentioned earlier, if we played something like "Magical Village," others might end up doing nothing while I clear the game on my own.

‘Games like ‘Gang Beasts’ or ‘Bomberman’ are the same. It’ll likely split into 3v3, and I’m sure my team would win. It’s going to be too one-sided to be fun for the viewers.’

Inui Kirin

[What about "Arkham Horror" or something like that?]

[How about a board game?]

Aurora

[I don’t personally enjoy games with a lot of luck involved.]

Ayano Kouji Sora

[What about Minecraft?]

[Or something like FanWorld or Moon Valley, like “Don’t Let Us Starve?”]

Kaga Mero

[Sandbox type?]

[I've played all those games.]

Hanabane Louis

[I’ve played them a few times with my office juniors too.]

Barubara Rian

[Sandbox games are fine, but]

[Actually, I have a private server for just us virtual YouTubers.]

[The viewers might get a bit bored though.]

Kaga Mero

[What about the GTA streamer server?]

Barubara Rian

[There are new players, so that’s a no-go.]

Inui Kirin

[Yeah.]

Ayano Kouji Sora

[?]

After all the discussions, it seemed like we were leaning toward a sandbox game as the most neutral choice.

As mentioned in the chat, it’s a bit of a downside since the viewers are already familiar with it.

But, there really weren’t any other good alternatives.

So, we decided on a sandbox game — though, not quite finalized yet.
