I Was Heartbroken, So I Became A VTuber, But Then I Became Popular with the Older Ladies

, the other people in the circle with me said that you can join us as our booth assistant.
What do you think?
However, there’s a catch: you have to cosplay.

We’re a busy circle that deals with doujinshis, so I leave the final decision to you.

“C-Cosplay?!”
“B-But…I don’t have any costumes or anything like that…”

Subject: Re: About Comiket

Message: Thank you very much for your offer! However, I’m a guy and have never cosplayed before, nor do I have any costumes.
So, I’m afraid it might be difficult…

I think this is a good enough reply.

I can’t be indebted to Yuru-sensei all the time.

A few minutes after hitting send, Yuru-sensei called me.

“Hello, Yuru-sensei? What’s up?”

“I’ll get you a costume and do your makeup.
Will you come now?”

“A-Are you sure…?”
“Absolutely.
I bet your cosplay will make Yuka Shirahime’s name even more popular.”

“I’m not sure if I’m good enough for this…”
“You’re more than good enough.
You’re cute, so have confidence.”

“Also, let’s announce the new outfit through cosplay.”
“What?!”

“I’ll make it into a 3D model later.”
“But I don’t have any money…”

“In exchange, let me draw a doujin of Yuka Shirahime.”
“You don’t need permission for that, right? You’re the one who made her, sensei!”

“Well, technically, it’s a derivative work, so getting approval from the official source is important.”
“I see…”

“So, what do you think? I don’t think it’s a bad deal.”
“Okay, I’ll go for it!”

“Got it! I’ll let you know when we leave, so be ready! By the way, what should I call you? Should I keep calling you Yuka-chan, or is that too rude? What’s your name again?”
“Um, it’s Yuki Himemura.”

“Hehe, it’s a cute name that suits you perfectly, Yuki-kun.”
“Uh, t-thank you…”
It’s the first time a girl called me by my given name like that, so I can’t help but feel embarrassed.

“Are you blushing?”
“N-No, it’s just your imagination!”
I have to act tough; I’m a guy, after all.

“I’ll tell you my name too—it’s Kaoru Yusa.
That’s where I got Yuru.”
“Kaoru-san then!”

“You can call me onee-chan, you know?”
“Oh, no, that’s, um…”

“Haha, just kidding.”
“Please give me a break…”
I suddenly thought to myself, what if I call her by her real name and add onee-chan using Yuka’s voice?
Just as a teeny-tiny payback.

“Well, anyway, I think we’ll probably meet up at the location, so you’ll have to find a place to stay on your own.”

“Okay! Thanks, Kaoru onee-chan♪”

“Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
I heard a loud noise, like something had fallen hard, and then the sound of a door opening.
“What happened, onee-chan? Are you okay?! Oh, is this call still on? Sorry, I don’t know who’s on the line, but I’ll hang up now.
Onee-chan will contact you again later!”

D-Did I overdo it?

[The Cutest Boyish Girl Ever] A Yuka Shirahime Thread (Surprisingly an Indie VTuber?)

115: Name: Anon Onii-chan
Gather ‘round, brethren who watched today’s stream.

116: Name: Anon Onii-chan

>>115
you called?

117: Name: Anon Onee-chan

>>115
i have been summoned

118: Name: Anon Onii-chan
I missed the stream, how was it?

119: Name: Anon Onii-chan
mama yuru was wack

120: Name: Anon Onii-chan

mama yuru was totally hooked

121: Name: Anon Onii-chan
there’s a chance that yuka’s going to comiket

122: Name: Anon Onee-chan

>>121
Huh? A VTuber actually attending in person?

123: Name: Anon Onii-chan
well, she’s technically an indie, so it’s something she can do

124: Name: Anon Onii-chan
If she turns out to be a beauty IRL, that would be the perfect package.

125: Name: Anon Onee-chan
Wait, was it just me who felt something was off during the stream?
Yuka-chan said her crush got a boyfriend, but I was confused if it was a guy or a girl.

126: Name: Anon Onii-chan

>>125
now that you mention it…
but if you think about it for once, a guy using a voice changer to sound like that is impossible

127: Name: Anon Onee-chan
Or…she could be an effeminate man.

128: Name: Anon Onii-chan
yeah no lmaoo
but if she really is, it’s plausible
there aren’t many real-life effeminate male vtubers

129: Name: Anon Onee-chan

>>128
True.

130: Name: Anon Onii-chan
And if it’s a guy, calling herself “boku” is all the more possible.

131: Name: Anon Onii-chan
well, we’ll find out eventually

The netizens’ predictions were pretty spot on, but it remains to be seen how many people will realize Yuki’s true identity on the day of the event.

—Yura’s POV—

My name is Yura Yusa, the younger sister of Kaoru Yusa, who goes by the name Yuru Kakizaki online.

One day, I heard a loud noise coming from my sister’s room.
When I went in to check, I found her collapsed on the floor, face beet-red and bleeding from her nose.

It seemed like she was on a call, so I told the other person we had to end the conversation to take care of my sister.

“Onee-chan, are you okay?”
“Sorry, Yura.”

“What happened?”
“Well, you heard me talking about Comiket earlier, right?”

“Yeah, the one where the person behind Yuka-chan is going to attend.”
“While we were talking, he said something cute to tease me.”

“Okay.
And how’s that related?”
“We told each other’s real names for future reference.”

“I see.
So what’s his name?”
“Yuki Himemura.”
“Even the name is cute.
Isn’t that cheating?”

“Yeah, well, in retaliation for what I said, he called me Kaoru onee-chan, and I almost died.”
“You’re beyond help, I swear.”

“But he’s just so cute, can you really blame me?!”
“I understand your feelings.”

“But you can’t keep having nosebleeds like this.”
“Ugh…”

“I hope you can build up some resistance through the streams.”
“I’ll try my best…”

I dare say it.
My sister is also cute.
