The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 141: Please Save me 2nd Time

Let's take a brief step back in time and revisit the events that took place immediately after the escape room game.

"Laura-chan, from now on, please be my maid!"

That day, Anna said those words.

'Anna’s thinking quite cleverly.'

I was impressed by how she came up with such a punishment.

It was quite a brilliant move, to be honest.

It gave just enough entertainment for the viewers while also providing me with a suitable amount of humiliation. At the same time, it wasn't crossing the line for a punishment.

Come to think of it, Anna (aside from Leon) was the VTuber who had watched me the longest.

Because of that, Anna had quite a good understanding of me.

That's probably why she was able to come up with such a punishment.

'If Anna's going to be like this...'

I had no intention of responding meekly.

Anna's weak point was fear. If I threw an Inlast at her, she’d probably end up crying her eyes out.

And there was another weak point.

Anna’s ultimate favorite was Hanabane Rui.

"Anna, you’ll go on a one-on-one date with Rui."

"What?!"

At my suggestion, Anna was completely shocked.

"A-a date...? But that, that can’t be a punishment, right? You know how much I love Rui, Laura-chan!"

"Anna, have you even talked to Rui properly?"

I asked.

Though Anna and Rui were on different teams, looking back, Anna had ample opportunity to communicate with Rui.

For example, during the escape room game.

Before the broadcast started, there was a time when all the VTubers gathered to chat a bit.

At that time, Rui was chatting with Asahina Hikari, a tier 1 Behemoth VTuber, while I was talking casually with Sora.

But instead of going to Rui’s side, Anna joined me and Sora.

It would have been the perfect opportunity to at least greet Rui, but instead, she chose to hang out with us.

And it didn’t stop there.

When the escape room game started, Anna and Rui started in the same room. But rather than interacting with Rui, she ended up messing up and becoming the little sister figure.

"Looks like you’re not in a position to scold Sora."

She had complained when she saw Sora and Rui getting a bit friendly, but when Rui was right in front of her, she turned into a total nervous wreck.

"Honestly, it’s quite pathetic."

"Please don’t say the facts... it’s hurting me..."

"Then let me offer you a chance. Go on a date with Rui. A nice 3-hour session."

"Three hours?! I won’t be able to last that long...!"

Anna was completely taken aback.

If you think about it, Anna was kind of an outsider. While she had a bit more communication ability than Inagikabo, Anna had a clear issue with socializing.

She wasn’t particularly interested in expanding her relationships.

In other words, she had a passive personality; she wasn’t the type to actively approach others.

She was destined to stumble, just like a guy from an all-boys middle school, high school, or engineering university who had never experienced talking to a girl.

"But what can you do? You made the first move."

It was her choice to make me her maid after all.

And for a full week, I played the role of Anna's maid.

Since I kept my end of the bargain, now it was Anna's turn to pay the price.

"So, you want me to host the date broadcast?"

For Anna’s punishment to be carried out properly, Rui’s cooperation was necessary.

"Don’t you want to?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to... But then what will Laura do?"

"I’ll just be watching."

I said.

Here’s my plan.

I didn’t plan to host the date broadcast on my channel. It would likely be streamed on Rui’s or Anna’s channel.

That said, I didn’t plan to avoid broadcasting entirely. Since this was a punishment I had suggested, I had an obligation to observe.

So, I planned to host a "simultaneous watch broadcast" from an observer's point of view.

In other words, I wouldn't directly intervene in Anna and Rui’s date; I would just watch.

"You’re just going to watch? You’ll leave everything to me?"

"That’s right."

"You’ve truly perfected the art of bossing me around... Well, I guess it’s fine."

Rui shrugged.

"I’ve been wanting to talk to Anna properly. What was it again? ‘I respect you, so please die’ or something? That was quite impressive, you know?"

"Come to think of it, that did happen."

Reflecting on it, it’s a strange thing.

Anna had tried to participate in Fantasy League to meet Rui, which is how I ended up teaching her Labyrinthos.

Then, after the opportunity came, Anna and I participated in Rui’s viewer participation event.

After that, Leon asked me if I wanted to become a VTuber, and Anna reassured me, so I became one.

'So, was I able to become a VTuber because of Rui?'

If there had been no Hanabane Rui, I wouldn’t have met Anna in the first place.

In a sense, Hanabane Rui could be seen as the "trigger" for me becoming a VTuber.

People’s lives are unpredictable.

Just five months ago, I never would have imagined that I would be on the same team as Hanabane Rui.

"Then, I’ll prepare everything needed for the date broadcast on my side."

With that, Rui happily agreed to my request.

From that day on, Rui and I started preparing for the date broadcast.

We looked into MyRoom presets for the broadcast.

We exchanged various opinions.

In the end, Rui said, "This should be enough, just expect the rest," and handled everything on her own.

Soon, the date for the date broadcast was set.

And before long, the new year arrived.

January 2025.

For example, there’s an unwritten rule among VTubers that they have to stream on the night of December 24th.

If they don’t, people might think they’re spending a romantic evening with their boyfriend.

Of course, I had streamed on both December 24th and 25th, and the viewers probably didn’t even consider the possibility of me having a boyfriend.

They would say, 'There may be someone she’s dating, but there’s absolutely no way she has a boyfriend.'

Whether that's a good or bad thing, I’m not sure.

Compared to that, quite a few VTubers take a break at the start of January.

In Korea, we celebrate Lunar New Year, so the holiday season comes around mid to late January or February, but in Japan, the holidays are at the end of the year according to the solar calendar.

Many VTubers took time off during this period to return home.

Unlike Christmas, during this time, it wasn’t suspicious if they took a break.

That made it a difficult period for both practicing for competitions and promoting Dungeon Seeker. Mero also decided to go back to her hometown during this time.

I was thinking of maybe doing some Asherah Sal with Leon and Aina, but then, unexpectedly, a guest came to my house.

"...Please, help me."

At 9 AM.

Anna was kneeling in front of my door.

"What is it this early in the morning?"

"Please, Laura..."

She was prostrating herself on the floor, her forehead pressed to the ground.

"...You can step on my head if you want."

"Didn’t something like this happen before?"

It was about four months ago when the Minecraft EYEAI server was destroyed. Anna had come over, begging for mercy, and she had done the dogeza at my place.

It seemed like Anna hadn’t grown at all since then.

"So, what brings you here this time? I don’t remember giving you a punishment in a horror game."

"Please help me with the date..."

Anna said in a trembling voice.

"What even is a date? What am I supposed to do...?"

"A date means a man and a woman meeting one-on-one."

"What do you mean by ‘date’! You’ve already messed up from the ‘man and woman’ part! I’m a woman!!"

"Of course, I know. We’ve lived together for a week, do you think I don’t know?"

"Rui’s a woman too! What kind of date between two women is this!!"

Anna clutched her head and panicked.

Why did she always regress like this when I looked at her?

"Isn’t it easier because it’s between women? Since you’re the same gender, you can talk more comfortably."

"I’d rather go on a date with a guy! A one-on-one conversation with my ultimate favorite...? I can’t stand it! I’ll die!"

"People don’t die that easily."

"Ugh! You’re not getting it!"

Anna slammed the ground in frustration. But it was only her own hand that hurt.

Anna’s childish thinking was easy to read.

She probably wanted to impress Rui, but I was sure she wouldn’t even be able to make eye contact with Rui properly.

If she kept going like this, she would just leave a bad impression on Rui, and that was what she was thinking.

"Please... let me practice..."

Anna squeezed out the words.

"Practice?"

"Pre-date practice... If I go on the live broadcast like this, I won’t be able to say a word! Can I do that?"

"That sounds like it could be fun."

"No one wants to watch a sluggish broadcast...! The viewers will definitely find it frustrating!"

Anna insisted.

It wasn’t entirely a wrong point.

But, as fate would have it.

"Even if we practice, I don’t think it will make much of a difference."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Let’s try it your way. After doing it once, you’ll see for yourself."

I said.

Anna suddenly recalled a memory from the past. It was the day we met for the second time in real life.

We had met alone in a café.

Thinking back to that time, so many things felt new again. Back then, I hadn’t imagined that Laura would eventually become my junior.

It was only about half a year ago.

Half a year—a period that felt both short and long.

But there was something I remembered clearly. That day, I had thought I was bewitched by a snow woman.

Just like that day, Laura was sitting in a chair, reading a book.

Well, maybe it wasn’t exactly the same.

She was wearing glasses.

Fashion glasses without prescription lenses.

They were probably just a decoration, but even that changed her appearance quite a bit.

Normally, Laura seemed like someone who could be compared to a rose.

She was beautiful, but there was always an almost dangerous allure, as if she could prick you if you touched her the wrong way.

But compared to that, the Laura I saw now was more like a lily.

Pure and gentle, just like a lily.

I found myself unconsciously walking over quickly to sit across from her.

"Ah, hello..."

My voice trembled naturally.

Who wouldn’t tremble when [N O V E L I G H T] facing someone as beautiful as her?

"I’m Shiroki Anna... Nice to meet you."

"Oh, is it appropriate for a commoner to casually speak to a noble like me?"

"...Huh?"

Thud!

Laura deliberately slammed her book shut with a loud sound.

Then, she placed the book down on the table somewhat roughly, crossed her arms, and crossed her legs.

"I’m the eldest daughter of the Duke’s family, Aurora. Don’t you think there’s a class difference between us, and it’s not appropriate for you to speak to me? Kneel and bow. And consider it an honor to be so close to me, the Duke’s daughter."

With a villainous laugh, Laura said those words.

Duchess Aurora.

So noble that she had never even been on a date...!
