On his day off, Masaki came to the office of his company『Trimming V』.
\n
His manager said she wanted to have an in-person business meeting so he came to the office immediately.
\n
「Actually, there have been talks of selling goods of Masaki-san」
「G, goods!?」
\n
Towards the shocked Masaki, Ootsu calmly hands him the pieces of printed paper.
\n
「This is a list of the possible choices. Acrylic stand, acrylic key holder, can badge, etc.」
「A, awesome……」
\n
The acrylic stand is an item with the figure of Masaki’s full body portrait. The acrylic key holder and can badge are items with Masaki’s chibi figure.
No matter how one looks at it, they were all「Official Merchandise」that Masaki never even dreamed of having.
\n
「This, will be sold……?」
「That is the plan. We just wanted you to oversee the project. If there are any products you wish to have taken off the list or believe should be improved on, please give us your opinion on it」
「Oversee, opinion」
「Please compose yourself」
\n
She directed words toward Masaki that made it seem as if she had no involvement in the matter.
\n
Ootsu followed up for Masaki whose brain short-circuited.
\n
「There is no need to panic. The company has also checked the merchandise. If you are unable to decide, we will proceed by selling the products chosen by the company」
「Is, is that so?」
「Moreover, I am here. I will be the one carrying out direct discussions with the manufacturers, therefore, Masaki-san, you can tell me whatever you think 」
「Ootsu-san……!」
\n
The follow-up was effective since Masaki mistakenly thought that he had to decide everything by himself. Just saying whatever comes to his mind is a simple task.
\n
However, Masaki was just released from a heavy responsibility.
That was enough to cause him to behave in a way he normally wouldn’t have.
\n
「T, thank you so much!! I’m so glad Ootsu-san is here for me……！」
「Ee!」
\n
Masaki clasped Ootsu’s right hand, furthermore, in a way with both of his hands wrapped around her’s.
\n
This time, Ootsu’s brain is the one that short-circuited.
And Masaki, who took too long to realize, quickly withdrew his hands.
\n
「Ah, eh, umm, I’m sorry……!! I got too excited, just now…………」
「N, no……I, I, I don’t, mind……………………」
\n
You should've held my hands some more……the manager Ootsu forcibly swallowed those words.
Just barely, she was able to conceal her otaku side.
\n
「……Shall I make us a new cup of tea?」
「S, sure……I’m really sorry……」
\n
Ootsu was agitated by the unexpected events earlier. However, she got excited again by the sight of Masaki’s open dejectedness.
\n
（I knew it, looking at the depressed figure of Masaki-chan is the best♪）
\n
But the statement of the degenerate didn’t reach Masaki’s ears.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The meeting continued for a little longer.
\n
「There is, one more thing I want to say……it is more of a suggestion though」
「Suggestion?」
「How about doing something for your 100k celebration?」
\n
Ootsu’s suggestion is due to the fact that Masaki’s channel is about to reach 90,000.
\n
「I think you will reach 100k in about a month……what do you think?」
\n
Masaki responds with a troubled「Hmm」towards Ootsu’s question.
\n
「I feel like I should do something. But, I have no idea what to do……」
\n
Many streamers follow the practice of doing something special every time they reach a subscriber milestone. That’s why Masaki has also brainstormed various ideas.
\n
If he wanted something quick and simple, it would be a 100k endurance stream, a stream where he can’t end it unless he reaches 100k subscribers.
\n
「But an endurance stream……I think Masaki-san should avoid that」
「Why is that?」
「You will be bullied by your viewers, no doubt. They will all unsubscribe right before you reach 100k」
「Am I hated by my viewers!?」
\n
That isn’t true but Ootsu judged that there was no need to tell Masaki that.
\n
「As for my suggestion, I propose releasing a『Tried to sing』video」
「A……song?」
\n
It’s not uncommon for streamers to release songs for subscriber celebrations.
Especially for Vtubers since they have a tendency to do so.
\n
Many of them are covers of Vocaloid songs from the same Internet culture. There are also those who cover popular songs or their favorite anime songs.
\n
「What do you think, do you want to try?」
「Even so……I don’t have any confidence in singing」
\n
On the other hand, there are also a lot of streamers who don’t release『Tried to sing』videos. There are those who have zero confidence in their singing, those who think their voice isn’t suitable, and those who hesitate on uploading the video.
\n
But, Ootsu blew away Masaki’s worries with a face brimming with confidence.
\n
「It will be fine!! I have chosen 100 songs that I think is suitable for Masaki-san, all you have to do is choose one from here and you will be set!!」
「One, 100 songs!?」
\n
Ootsu handed Masaki a paper that listed the names of the songs.
\n
「These 100 songs are ones I’ve carefully chosen after two rounds of screening so all of them will be perfect!!」
「100 songs carefully chosen!?」
「Furthermore, I will make arrangements for trustworthy artists, video editors, and mixers! Ah, but of course, if Masaki-san has any preferred individuals, I will give them priority!!」
「O, okay……」
\n
Thus, Ootsu, through force, decided that Masaki’s 100k celebration will be a『Tried to sing』video.
