The Villainess VTuber Tears People Apart

-Did the A-Grade Virgin VTuber, who went to all-girls middle, high, and college schools and only knows men as her parents, debut???

-The first chat is a total mess, lmao.

-I’ve been waiting for a VTuber like you!

-A-Grade Virgin! A-Grade Virgin! A-Grade Virgin! A-Grade Virgin! A-Grade Virgin! A-Grade Virgin!

-I fell in love at first sight from your last stream. Please marry me.

-Let’s goooo!

“…….”

The current time was 8:29 p.m. Rion was nervous.

It was strange. She had watched many VTuber streams before, but Rion had never felt this nervous. Then again, it made sense—those streams weren’t hers.

Rion was more anxious than when she was the one streaming herself.

Please, let unnie Laura succeed.

Please, let unnie Laura be accepted by everyone.

Only then.

“Only then can I quit….”

Rion repeated this to herself.

Another minute passed, and it became 8:30 p.m.

The screen of Labyrinthos appeared before her.

……?

-?

-??

-Is this a Labyrinthos prank???

-Starting with the Labyrinthos screen right from the beginning, lol.

Judging from the chat, it seemed Rion wasn’t the only one facing the Labyrinthos screen.

She wondered if she had come to the wrong channel, but in the bottom right corner, there was a figure that looked just like Laura.

Her hair, black like the night sky.

And her eyes, much redder than in reality, gleamed with a vivid, blood-like intensity.

Her black gothic dress was lavish, yet emitted an eerie aura, making it all the more beautiful.

The sight of her pale skin alongside the extravagant scene made her seem otherworldly. Almost like a transcendent being.

The avatar of Aurora on the screen smiled faintly,

[Hello, this is Aurora.]

And without hesitation, she selected the Berserker.

The match queue had already been set before the stream even began.

“What the….”

Rion, who had been lying down and watching on her phone, got up from bed.

In record time, she took her seat at her desk, immediately placing her hands on the keyboard.

-Wait, why are we starting with Labyrinthos?

-Where’s the introduction???

-No profile introduction???

She sent what sounded like a troublemaker’s message into the chat, but Rion felt no regret. She had anticipated this and logged into VTube with her secondary account.

It was almost as if Aurora had picked up on the sincerity of Rion’s message.

Aurora replied with a voice tinged with amusement.

[Since it’s a debut stream, I should introduce myself, right?]

[My birthday, height, likes, dislikes, etc., are all listed in my profile, so please check them on your own.]

Aurora’s profile appeared on the stream.

However, the profile was small, just about the size of a palm, placed in the top left corner so it wouldn’t obscure the game screen.

-The text is too small to read, lol.

-No way, lol, just give us an introduction already.

-I guess self-introductions are something we need to figure out on our own these days.

-Should’ve stalked a bit beforehand.

-At least post it on social media or something…

-Rion, do something!

-What’s the point of a tiny profile screen if you won’t actually introduce yourself?

-Are you really not going to introduce yourself???

[Oh, the game’s starting.]

She focused on the game, ignoring the audience’s demands.

Rion sighed. …She had a good idea of what Laura was thinking.

‘…She probably thinks showing her true self is the most important thing.’

Rion had dealt with Laura’s narcissism for the longest time. She was sure that Laura believed that no matter what content she did, viewers would enjoy it.

That’s why Laura probably thought there was no need to consider the viewers. As long as she streamed the way she wanted, the viewers would follow.

Laura was that kind of VTuber from the start.

Rion thought VTubers would be categorized into two types.

Those who ‘plan and organize fun content’ and those who ‘just think being themselves is the most entertaining.’

Hanabane Rui was the former.

And Laura was the exact opposite of her.

…Well, Laura had always been like this. No point in getting frustrated now.

The viewers didn’t seem too upset either, so Rion decided to let it slide.

But still—

“Why the Berserker?”

Rion finally noticed something strange.

The Berserker’s skin was dark blue from all the experiments done to it.

It had wolf ears growing out of its head from the injected werewolf blood, and its eyes were bloodshot red.

The character, confined as an experiment, had broken shackles around its wrists and ankles.

And the weapon in its hand.

It wielded a massive sword, much larger than the greatswords used by Paladins or Gladiators, asserting a powerful presence.

The Berserker’s trademark: the “Giant Greatsword.”

[Ah, it’s heavy.]

And as soon as the game started, Laura threw the giant greatsword away.

……?

-How are you going to fight without a weapon, lol?

-Are you trolling?

-What tier are you, by the way?

-Even Bronze players wouldn’t do that, lol.

-My weapon is my faith and the cross in my heart.

-Lolololol.

-Rion, is your cousin really okay?

Laura, having discarded her Giant Greatsword, sprinted forward. Rion felt an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

…Ah, I get it.

She’s trying to expand her character pool.

‘Come to think of it, she said she’s been getting banned from picking the Dark Knight often.’

It seemed Laura had recently earned recognition as a Dark Knight specialist. Looking at her recent match history, aside from the Dark Knight, she often played the Technomancer.

But Laura probably didn’t like the Technomancer much.

She was the complete opposite of Anna. Anna was someone who felt fear when an enemy was in front of her, but Laura enjoyed that kind of thrill.

That’s why Anna and the Technomancer were a perfect match, but Laura probably found the character too lacking in excitement. Despite her calm and graceful appearance, her sister was aggressive by nature.

Perhaps that wild side was Aurora’s true self.

‘So that’s why she picked the Berserker.’

Rion quietly understood.

[Found you.]

Laura’s voice rang out.

When Rion snapped back to attention and looked at the screen, a Dual Swordsman was facing off against her.

Perhaps because they had been hunting neutral monsters until now, the corpses of the monsters lay scattered at the Dual Swordsman’s feet.

[My opponent this time is a Dual Swordsman.]

[Not bad.]

Laura and the Dual Swordsman locked eyes, then rushed at each other.

From the Dual Swordsman’s perspective, there was no reason to back down. After all, the Berserker had no weapon.

Obviously, a sword has a longer reach than a fist. The Dual Swordsman had the advantage in range and could initiate the first attack.

The Dual Swordsman’s twin blades cut through the air, coming in from both sides.

It almost looked like an embrace. It wasn’t exactly swordsmanship, but it didn’t matter. How could the Berserker dodge without a weapon?

So, Laura didn’t dodge.

-Thud!

Laura struck downward with her fist, disrupting the trajectory of the swords.

Because the Dual Swordsman’s stance was so large, the timing was easy to read. Laura timed her downward strike perfectly, deflecting the swords so they wouldn’t hit her body.

This created an opening, which Laura immediately exploited.

[……!]

Startled, the Dual Swordsman tried to escape using a skill. It was the infamous “Breakthrough” move, notorious for being an annoying skill used by players with a childish mentality.

As the Dual Swordsman tried to create distance, Laura smiled and activated a skill.

The Berserker’s second skill, Destructive Charge.

The Berserker was a high-risk, high-reward character.

To use its skills, you had to sacrifice HP, and they came with difficult conditions.

But if you could land them, the rewards were immense.

If you could hit, that is.

Destructive Charge had no range limit.

But once activated, the Berserker couldn’t stop. It couldn’t change direction either.

It would only stop upon impact, and if it collided with an object like a wall, the Berserker would become stunned.

However, if it hit an enemy, it guaranteed a long stun duration and made the Berserker immune to all crowd-control effects during the charge.

Laura activated Destructive Charge, rushing towards the Dual Swordsman.

Naturally, the Dual Swordsman had no reason to just take the hit.

If they could dodge Destructive Charge, Laura would crash into a wall, giving the Dual Swordsman the advantage.

Laura was fast, but the Dual Swordsman had already moved back, so there was still some distance between them.

The Dual Swordsman, seeing Laura’s skill animation, immediately tried to dodge.

Just barely, the Dual Swordsman twisted their body, dodging Laura’s tackle by a hair’s breadth.

And then, they got caught.

-Creak

By the collar.

As Laura charged, her fingertips snagged the Dual Swordsman’s collar.

[It’s hard to pay attention to something like your collar, isn’t it? Especially in a split-second situation like this.]

Laura’s short commentary.

She grabbed the Dual Swordsman’s collar and pulled them in.

The Dual Swordsman froze in surprise.

Laura, taking advantage of the situation, threw the Dual Swordsman.

-Thud!

As a Berserker, who could easily swing a giant sword, her raw strength was unmatched. The Dual Swordsman’s body flew and crashed into a wall.

Before the Dual Swordsman could recover, Laura slammed her shoulder into their solar plexus.

-Thwack!

Coughing, the Dual Swordsman wheezed as air escaped their lungs.

They were stunned, unable to move. Laura planted her fist into the Dual Swordsman’s cheek.

Thwack!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Crack!

She pummeled them mercilessly.

Her fists rained down without a trace of restraint.

The word “Victory” appeared on the screen, and only then did Laura stop punching.

[Just like that.]

She shook her blood-stained fist as she spoke.

Uh….

-’Just like that,’ lol.

-Wow! Truly an amazing fact!

-Does this mean she’ll beat the crap out of us if we don’t watch her stream?

-Fun fact: if you take out one letter from Aurora, it becomes ‘Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!’

-Not sure what just happened, but should I offer my lunch money?

-Stop it… enough already…

-Spare me.

The viewers’ chat scrolled rapidly.

Even though the process had been strange…, did it work out in the end?

A VTuber who beats people up in her debut stream… It sounded odd, but the impact was undeniable. Plus, it was all in-game, so it’s fine.

It’s always better to leave a strong impression.

In that sense, this wasn’t a bad strategy.

‘Unnie did think ahead.’

At first, Rion wasn’t sure what to make of it when Laura ignored the profile introduction and jumped straight into the game, but seeing the viewers and gallery’s reactions, it seemed like everything was fine.

Feeling relieved, Rion folded her arms.

On screen, Laura chuckled softly.

And queued up for the next match.

…….

“…Has she lost her mind?”

-No hashtag introduction?

-When are you going to announce your next stream schedule??

-Did you come here to stream or just play games?

“Ugh… I couldn’t even send a donation message…!!”

Rion desperately wanted to send a donation to grab attention, but unfortunately, the donation window was closed.

VTubers under a company usually couldn’t monetize their channels as they pleased. Damn it….

-Nekozuka Rion¶: Please show the hashtags and your stream schedule.

In the end, Rion logged into her main account.

-Rion’s here, lol.

-Rion, please stop your cousin, lol.

-We’ll draw fanart if you just tell us the hashtags!!!

-Now that you mention it, we still haven’t heard the hashtags.

-I don’t care about stream management~ I’m just here to game~

[Oh, Rion, you’re here.]

Laura responded.

As soon as Rion saw her response, she typed again.

-Nekozuka Rion¶: Hashtags and stream schedule.

[That’s a bit difficult.]

[It would block the screen, you know.]

-Nekozuka Rion¶: ???

It took Rion a moment to understand what Laura meant.

In other words, to display the hashtags and schedule, she would need to put an image on the stream, which would obscure the game screen.

She didn’t want to cover the game.

“Ugh! I’m going to lose it!”

Rion stood up from her seat.
