Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

Nagasaki Motoyo lay on the sofa, her eyes, which had clearly been staring at the screen for a long time, conveying her speechless frustration. "Why did they adapt me like this? This is too dramatic!"

In her own opinion, of the seven episodes of the radio drama, only the first three episodes reflected her own thoughts. Nagasaki Motoyo was undoubtedly the kind of gentle team mediator she portrayed, and the writing was spot on.

But later on, she became increasingly strange.

Using Sakura Aine to form a band or something... Nagasaki Motoyo felt that when that time came, she would definitely have a more mutually beneficial way to use her, at least not with such an obvious purpose.

"I don't understand it at all. What will Lixi think?" she pondered silently.

Even though she was very dissatisfied with the adaptation of the radio drama's plot, it featured a lot of Toyokawa Shoko's voice acting, which made it worthwhile for Nagasaki Motoyo to watch the radio drama. Putting aside the plot adaptation of Crychic, "Kasuga Kage" and "Shiori" were also very well written.

Furthermore, Motoyo Nagasaki also wants to do voice acting for the MyGO radio drama.

Besides the familiar voices of Mortis and Oblivionis, and Arale, the bassist and drummer of the C group in the radio drama were all voiced by people commissioned by ExElio.

Motoyo Nagasaki wanted to take the initiative to approach E-Company and sign a contract, at least to do voice acting for the MyGO radio drama, even if it was just Crychic whose name was changed and everyone else had a different name in the radio drama.

How she wished Crychic could go back to the past, back to that most radiant, irretrievable time. If she could, Nagasaki Motoyo would give anything...

Suddenly, the sound of a fingerprint unlocking device came from outside the door.

Then, a familiar, cheerful voice came: "Su Shi, Mom is back!"

"Mom! It's happening again..."

Ms. Nagasaki rushed in from outside and immediately hugged Nagasaki Motoyo, absorbing some of her daughter's energy. Nagasaki Motoyo obediently let her mother rub against her, smiling helplessly.

"I'm cooking something in the kitchen, aren't I?"

"So what? I was just about to cook for you. You haven't had my cooking in a long time, have you?" Today was a rare early day off for Ms. Nagasaki, and the two put on a heartwarming mother-daughter scene.

Nagasaki Motoyo cherishes this time very much. Ye Feiqun ∨:: 5℃『綺％$陆∞〗戮★参／｝∞¨偲『∏

Her mother is always busy at the company.

Shortly afterward, the mother and daughter prepared dinner together.

At the dinner table, Ms. Nagasaki complained incessantly about her subordinates who couldn't understand human language and her top bosses who didn't consider the actual situation at all, saying that they only made things difficult for her and other senior executives caught in the middle. All of this was carefully and cautiously comforted by Ms. Nagasaki.

Having finished speaking, and still feeling unsatisfied, she put down her cutlery. "By the way, Su Shi, you're a young person, can I ask you some questions?"

"what?"

Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously clenched her fingers.

Ms. Nagasaki asked:

Have you heard of virtual YouTubers, or have any of your classmates heard of them? How widespread is the concept of virtual YouTubers among young people like you?

“Yes, I’ve heard of her, and I occasionally watch the edited clips.” Nagasaki Motoyo thought of Toyokawa Shoko, whom she had been searching for at the ExElio agency; she was also a virtual YouTuber.

As for its reach, she thought about it.

"Many people around me watch it, and they're all first-generation E-Company fans. Shishigami Momoka is very popular in Tsuki no Mori. Secondly, there's Arale, which I recommended to my classmates, and Himeko, which Morfonic likes. Quite a few people like it too."

"That's right..."

Ms. Nagasaki pondered for a moment, "So you also like virtual YouTubers. Well, Su Shi, would you like to become a virtual YouTuber? Your band seems to have stopped playing lately?"

"Eh?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's heart skipped a beat. A fleeting thought crossed her mind: "Crychic isn't unused, it's just that nobody's playing anymore." More importantly, her mother had asked her if she wanted to become a virtual YouTuber.

What if I became a virtual streamer...?

A multitude of possibilities, many things she had never considered before, flashed through her mind before she cautiously probed, "What does Mom mean?"

Ms. Nagasaki said with a smile:

"Our boss recently made a small profit by shorting a real estate company after it inexplicably went public. He seems to be planning to invest in setting up a virtual livestreaming agency. The whole company knows about it."

"Of course, I definitely won't persuade people to invest. If they make money, they'll think it's because they're smart, but if they lose money, it'll all be my fault. So, I want to do it myself. If virtual YouTubers are a good fit, I'll invest in a virtual YouTuber agency for you to play with. It won't cost much anyway..."

"Me, a virtual streamer?"

Instantly, Nagasaki Motoyo's heart began to pound faster.

Many clues quickly connected in her mind.

If I become a virtual streamer.

Then she can legitimately collaborate with the three sons of Toyokawa Sho from ExElio's agency, right? ＆○＝

When Shoko Toyokawa voiced the character, she was labeled Oblivionis, and Mutsu was labeled Mortis. Coincidentally, Oblivionis and Mortis were also among the second generation members announced by the agency, and they even played the same musical instruments.

They must be Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mu.

Become a virtual streamer and interact with Xiao Xiang, Xiao Mu, and Xiao Ala Lei...

Wouldn't that be reviving Crychic in another way?

Furthermore, in order to reunite with Arale Nakamachi, Tatsuki Shiina will definitely join her mother's virtual YouTuber agency. Wouldn't that allow all five members of Crychic to reunite for a collaboration?

Sure enough, Crychic never disbanded; they just had no one to come. Now, Crychic is about to have people come back, and they can reunite and continue their activities online as virtual anchors!

"I think!"

Nagasaki Motoyo could hardly contain her excitement and immediately agreed, "Mom, I also want to become one of those virtual streamers who can gain popularity without showing their face!"

"Okay, then, consider this a different way for Mommy to spend time with you. Mommy will get ready."

Ms. Nagasaki didn't pay much attention to her daughter's emotional changes.

Or perhaps she simply thought it was just her daughter, who idolized virtual YouTubers, being excited to learn that she could become a virtual YouTuber herself. That was perfectly normal; she was too tired after a long day to care about such things.

Anyway, a virtual YouTuber agency only has so many costs. Without producing 3D animation or preparing a stage, just having five virtual YouTubers isn't expensive. It's just a little money to make my daughter happy. If things go as well as my daughter says, we might even make a profit.

So, Ms. Nagasaki immediately began searching for the business licenses of talent agencies and got busy. 捌∠≡～★

Nagasaki Motoyo returned to her room, her heart still unsettled.

She kept thinking about how she could see Shoko and Arale again. After contacting Ima Teruyuki, she concluded that Toyokawa Shoko was too busy and her social life was controlled by her agency, preventing her from suddenly contacting her old friends to avoid exposing her identity, which was why she couldn't reach Shoko.

She could certainly have Wakaba Mutsumi take her to see her, but that might cause Toyokawa Shoko to break the agency's rules and be punished. Nagasaki Motoyo didn't want her to break the rules.

Therefore, Nagasaki Motoyo has been enduring it all along.

After enduring so much, we've finally found an opportunity to revive Crychic.

She could even "deliberately" cause the agency's revenue to be poor, persuading her mother to sell the agency to ExElio agency, transferring the artist contracts along with it, as long as her mother made a small profit in the end.

That way, she can become colleagues with Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ala Lei!

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately took out her phone and opened the Crychic group chat that Shoko had already left. At this moment, the group chat was still displaying Shoko's polite message of leaving, which Nagasaki Motoyo had seen countless times.

She contacted Shiina Tatsuki and hurriedly went out.

......

In the evening, RiNG, which had undergone initial renovations.

The fading light of dusk flowed along the brightly lit glass curtain wall.

Shiina Tachiki prepared two cups of Earl Grey tea, one for herself and one for the serious and determined Nagasaki Motoyo. She looked at the suddenly excited Nagasaki Motoyo, wondering what idea the other had come up with.

"It's almost closing time now, what do you want from me?"

"Lixi, has ExElio contacted you?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked.

Shiina Tatsuki was still completely baffled.

“I contacted them, and they agreed to adapt my experiences into a radio drama, didn’t they?”

"Have you ever tried joining an agency?"

Nagasaki Motoyo wanted to invite Shiina Tatsuki to join her team, but she knew she couldn't rush things. Shiina Tatsuki wasn't the type to be easily persuaded; she needed to be lured in slowly.

Shiina Tatsuki shook her head. "I can't do it."

She paused, "The initial development phase where anyone could join is over. Now, it seems only people with considerable ability can get into E-Company. An interview with an E-Company employee revealed that during the second recruitment period, the company received over a thousand job applications, and there are currently no plans to establish a third generation."

Shiina Tatsuki didn't believe she had the ability to compete with others out of thousands. She might be able to get an interview using connections, but she was unlikely to resort to such underhanded tactics.

So, Shiina Tatsuki was stuck there, wanting to reach out but afraid she wasn't good enough. Fortunately, she met Nakamachi Arale today and learned she was her classmate, which meant she'd have many more opportunities to chat. Sooner or later, she'd find the same confidence and excellence that Nakamachi Arale possessed.

Nagasaki Motoyo took a sip of black tea, her eyes shimmering with the ripples on the surface of the tea: "My mother wants to establish a virtual anchor agency around me."

"what do you mean?"

"May I invite you to join us, Lixi?"

"What do you want to do?"

Shiina Riki was somewhat wary. "You want to be Arale's rival? To be honest, I don't think you can succeed. They have a very capable adult as their producer."

She glanced at the coffee shop instinctively.

The owner of the Red Leaf Cafe, a cafe with a decor that is very popular with students coming to RiNG, is none other than Ima Teruyuki, not to mention Shiina Tatsuki's discovery when searching for the agency.

In the Tokyo music scene, many bands hope to be introduced to overseas markets by Ima Teruyuki.

Of course, there are also those who would rather remain completely unknown than perform in foreign lands.

"Not an opponent, but a supporter."

Motoyo Nagasaki corrected Tatsuki Shiina's statement.

"We can attract traffic that ExElio Studio can't reach, and then collaborate with ExElio Studio's virtual YouTubers; they'll definitely be happy to. That way, we can..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning behind it was self-evident.

Does Shiina Tatsuki want to catch up with Nakamachi Arale and become her colleague? Of course she does.

"So, we can collaborate with E-Company artists?"

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded.

She has now broken free from her initial resolve and returned to her usual rationality. *Chirp*

Her fingertips touched together. (缌)

"Let's talk, Lixi. It's about our ideas on virtual streamers, and who you think we could bring into my agency. Also, we could have ExElio agency invest in and hold shares in my agency. President Jin would definitely prefer an already established group, right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo extended an invitation to Shiina Tatsuki that she had absolutely no reason to refuse.

The two exchanged many thoughts from a student's perspective on virtual streamers in hushed tones. From a commercial point of view, there was almost no chance of success, and it was highly likely to fail miserably. But at least the two were very emotional at the moment.

When discussing potential partners, Shiina Tatsuki thought of Hachiman Kairin: "I can find someone really good, someone whose technique is no worse than Nyan Yume, but she's a bassist, and you're a bassist too."

“It doesn’t matter, I can switch back to a double bass.”

Motoyo Nagasaki immediately replied, "I'd even be willing to switch to violin, since they're both string instruments. I'm willing to learn them. No matter what, I want to collaborate with them."

"You're really that determined."

Shiina Tatsuki gritted his teeth.

Since that's the case, she can't appear too weak or incompetent.

"Well, I'll try my best to persuade her. Although Hachiman Kairin is already a support musician at ExElio, it's not like she can't become a virtual YouTuber at another agency..."

Main text: Chapter 78, Chapter 75 (Bilibili: 666, Classic WoW didn't call me)

Tonight was also a peaceful night for Bilibili's live streaming department.

Most of the staff on duty are super administrators. They only need to keep an eye on whether there is anything too outrageous and issue warnings. People who are bored just start watching two or three E-company virtual streamers.

To use a recent buzzword, it's just stinky.

The phrase “Everyone is my favorite” in Japanese begins with the syllable “d” and is therefore abbreviated as “dd”. It describes the act of telling each person “You are my favorite person”.

Bilibili employees, being long-time anime and manga fans, all have their own favorite virtual YouTubers. Tragically, most employees are fans of the "Shining Mane" group, specifically the "Lion God Moe Moe Xiang" group. Employees who support "Cat Knight," "Heart Candy," or "Fox Cake Rice" are just a small minority, and "Mianmianmin" (a term referring to Bilibili's virtual YouTubers) are even rarer.

Several employees were chatting idly in the live stream:

"E社 has done a good job with this move; Momoka is indeed a good card."

"It's obvious that he's been singing for a few years, and he's also a composer. It's hard to imagine that such a talented musician would have to work as a costume designer in Japan. That fox child is even more outrageous; he's singing like he's reached the heavens."

"Do we have a chance to directly contact E社's operations team for autographed merchandise?"

"No, E-Company is adamant about not giving any leeway whatsoever. To be honest, E-Company is being a bit too cautious. I wonder what they've been through to be so meticulous..."

Suddenly, someone whispered, "Bilibili has released an announcement about membership purchases!"

At 7:30 p.m., the official account of MemberShop released an apology letter, [apologizing for the abnormal price increase of some MemberShop products recently due to exchange rate fluctuations].

On the surface, they made it sound very appealing, talking a lot about currency exchange rates, Japanese consumption tax, and taxes on cross-border remittances, but in reality, the price of the Seven Calculations merchandise sold to members was so outrageous that it was forced to be reduced across the board.
