Chapter 54: 54 – Idol – I

Azura Stellaris. One of many VTubers that had risen in the wave of popularity in recent years.

A cute design, a cute personality, and a perfect balance of fan-service and wholesome.

Although relatively unknown even after her debut stream, with her most recent karaoke stream, she ballooned in popularity due to the treasure trove of clips.

[Azu-chan's Night Out with the Girls]

*H-Hey! I said we'll do dress-up later! Shoo! Stay out!*

---

[Azu-chan's Underwear (For Real Not Clickbait!)]

*W-Where did you get that! I thought I locked my drawers! W-Wait, I'm still- Aaargh! B-Be right back everyone!*

---

[Sylvia x Azu-chan teetee]

*Sorry to bother you, Azura, but it is getting late and you haven't eaten dinner. I brought you some food.*

*Thanks, Syl. You can set it right there- H-Hey! I-I'm streaming! You can't kiss me right now!*

*Keep up the good work, darling.*

*Aaaargh! Y-You guys didn't hear that! And don't clip it!*

It was a lucky coincidence. While the students in Japan were already heading back to school, quite a lot overseas were still on their summer vacation.

And due to the fact that Azura's streams and vods had amazing real-time and accurate translation into various languages...

It was the perfect brew for skyrocketing a person into the public view and launching their career as a content creator.

But this was all happening in the background, unknown to the person being featured.

As for that person, the one behind Azura Stellaris...

I tugged the hem of the black lacy skirt the girls had shoved me into and said, "W-W-Why do I have to wear something like this?!"

Cici let out a creepy giggle and dashed around me, holding up her tablet to take pictures. "The inspiration, the culture... hehehe."

I growled at her and then grabbed a pillow to chuck at her face.

Cici easily dodged it and said, "I can see it already! The tomboy blushing in embarrassment and throwing things at her friends to try and hide it..."

I felt my face heat up and then sat down on the bed, pulling the hem of my skirt to close the gap and not let anything show.

It was after my stream as Azura. Despite trying to use it as an excuse to get some private time, the girls kept popping in and messing with me.

Even Celes!

...Although she said it was because I was too cute to not tease a bit so I let it pass. Especially after she gave me an apology kiss.

B-But anyway, I finally gave up on streaming and closed out of everything. But the moment I did, I was dragged over into Celes' bedroom and shoved into this dress.

"Oh, come on." Cici lowered her tablet and said, "It's not that bad! You already cosplay a girl on stream, so why not do it in reality? You're super cute! Isn't that right, Yui-chan?"

Yui gave a serious nod. "Sen-ch... Sen-kun is indeed cute... Too cute..."

I puffed my cheeks. And then I realized I was doing something cutesy that would make things worse, so I immediately stopped and pursed my lips instead.

Cici, Celes, Yui, and Hanako.

The four horsemen in charge of my absolute embarrassment, and the four horsemen who wouldn't let me leave until they were satisfied.

I nervously tugged on my skirt again while doing my best to keep my cool.

Relax. It was fine. It's just a dress. Didn't a lot of manly men wear skirts and stuff in the past too?

And a famous YouTuber once said it took the best man to be the best girl... or something. So-

Cici dragged over a mirror and said, "Look at yourself, Sennie! You're just super cute!"

I paused and instinctively glanced at my reflection.
