I won't be a loser.

While he devoted a lot of energy to his career, it caused dissatisfaction among people like Hime Ikari and Fujiwara Momoka. One night, they stopped Xianren who was about to go back to his room to rest because he had not stayed at home for a long time, and asked him to sit down in the living room.

A cup of tea was placed in front of him. Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Xianren, four people sat around him and began to question him about his recent actions.

"The number of units sold at the convention exceeded our original estimate by 15%, which is a huge success compared to last year's sales figures."

Nene Madoka talked about the success she had achieved at the comic convention this year and observed Kento's expression, while Kento, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded slightly.

"Well, that's it. Thank you for your hard work. I have a general idea for the next work. I'll hand it over to you when it's ready. For now, you can rest for a while."

"You seem very busy lately?"

Ji Naiyi took the initiative to speak and launched an attack, trying to break through Xianren's defense and open up the topic.

"Yes, but it's not a big problem. You don't need to worry. For now, you should prepare for the new game. In the coming period, the game type and development direction will definitely change. You can prepare yourself mentally."

"A change of genre?"

Hime Noi was in charge of drawing, but she didn't care much about it. However, Fujiwara Momoka, who was in charge of the character design, cared a little bit about it, and Kousaka Iori also became a little curious.

"If you don't know what to do during your break, Jine can consider learning modeling. It should be very useful in the future."

"Well……"

Jinaiyi, who was sitting on the sofa, fell into silence, with a confused expression on her face.

"Building models on the computer is something you can learn about. If you can't master it, it won't have much of a impact."

Seeing that Jinai Yigeng didn't quite understand, Xianren showed a faint smile on his face. He didn't force the other party to learn these new things. Instead, Jinai Yigeng became concerned. She stood up and walked towards the office. She wanted to see what the so-called modeling work was. If it was not too difficult, she could learn it. She didn't think Xianren would harm her.

The others, like Fujiwara Momoka, Kousaka Iori, and Madoka Nene, were sitting in the living room. They watched Himeno Igen suddenly get up and leave, and then all looked at Kento. There was no other way, so they let Nene Nene take the initiative to ask what Kento was busy with.

"Are you asking about the work I'm currently doing? It's not something that needs to be kept secret, I just forgot to tell you. You should be included in this project in the future, but it hasn't been involved yet, so you don't need to worry too much. I'm planning to set up an agency. My main business will be 'virtual anchors'. I'll create a huge brand and use the images of various characters for commercial activities... The details haven't been decided yet."

The other three people present seemed to understand some of the content, but not very well. Fujiwara Momoka had never known much about this aspect, and Madoka Nene was no longer at the age to understand this aspect. However, Kousaka Iori had occasionally learned some of the content in this area.

She could probably understand the so-called "virtual anchor" part, but she couldn't understand the rest like branding and commercial activities.

"It doesn't matter if you can't understand now. You'll understand later. The only problem now is that I don't have a suitable candidate for the 'intermediate'. If you know anyone who's good at communication, singing, and dancing, please introduce them to me."

The three people sitting in the living room looked at each other and were unable to give an answer. The wise man suddenly thought of someone he had overlooked. After a moment of silence, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at everyone.

"Come to think of it, I almost forgot. I wonder if she is still home now."

"Ok?"

"She is at home now, right?"

Of the three people remaining in the living room, Fujiwara Momoka nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

"At home, she came to me today with her new manuscript, but the content is still the same as before... Gothic, no, it can't be described as Gothic, it's just... completely black mud."

After struggling over the word choice, Fujiwara no Momoka gave the evaluation of "black mud", but Xianren didn't care much about the so-called writing. When he learned that Gokou Ruri was currently at home, he felt relieved and glanced towards the door. It was not appropriate to disturb her at the moment.

"I see. Now, do you have any questions? If not, that's all for today. You can go back and rest."

Seeing that none of the three responded, the somewhat tired sage stood up and went back to his bedroom to rest. Before lying down on the bed, he even stood up and locked the door to avoid being disturbed during his night rest...

The next day, early morning.

The wise man woke up early, prepared breakfast, woke up the four sleeping people, and then went out to the door of Wugeng's house and gently pressed the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, I saw Gokou Ruri coming to open the door.

"Good morning, Wugeng. I have something I want to discuss with you. Do you have time now?"

Since Xianren was busy with his own affairs, Gokou Ruri had met with him in the past six months, but there was not much communication between the two sides every time they met. Now Xianren suddenly came to her house and seemed to have something to talk to her about. She was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

"Please come in."

He invited the wise man into his home. After he entered the living room, he sat him down, poured a cup of tea, brought it to him, and placed it on the tea table in front of him. Then, Gokou Ruri asked the wise man about his purpose of coming.

"What do you want to discuss?"

"Goko, have you ever thought about becoming an idol?"

"...No, I haven't."

The first question she asked was about the topic of "idols", which made Gokuru Ruri stunned for a moment before she quickly gave a negative answer.

Although she wanted to attract other people's attention, it was obviously a bit difficult for Gokou Ruri to bear the gazes of a group of people. She couldn't jump and sing under the gazes of a group of people, and she couldn't accept the existence of such a thing.

"They're not real-life idols who actually stand in front of others and perform for everyone to see. They're 'virtual idols' who use the internet as a tool to appear on people's phones and computer screens using 'virtual characters'. They're like animated characters, but they're live-action animations with you providing the voiceover. Do you understand that description?"

"I guess... I can understand a little bit. Is it about that 'virtual anchor' thing that's become popular recently?"

"You seem to have a strong talent for gaming, and don't you have quite a few interesting character designs? You can definitely apply these to your job as a 'virtual streamer', allowing you to play the role you want."

She didn't really want to agree, but it sounded very interesting, which made Gokou Ruri hesitate. She slowly raised her head and looked at the wise man in front of her.

"But I'm still in school and don't have much time and energy..."

"As long as you prepare the equipment, you can easily live broadcast at home, but I don't recommend you live broadcast at home. You can live broadcast at my house to prevent your sister from breaking into your room and affecting your live broadcast, thereby revealing her true information."

Seeing that Gogen Ruri frowned and seemed a little resistant, Xianren added some more content.

"After becoming a 'virtual anchor' at the agency, you'll receive a base salary of 10 yen per month. Your salary will depend on how many fans you attract. Trying to maintain an hour of live streaming time per day is sufficient."

One hour a day, or 30 hours a month, can earn you yen.

Gokogen Ruri's eyes wandered for a moment, and she thought of the items in her shopping cart on Amazon. She showed hesitation in her eyes and pursed her lips.

"Perhaps, you can also recommend some people who you think are suitable for this job."

"..."

The figure of Kousaka Kirino suddenly appeared in her mind. Gokou Ruri felt that as a model, Kousaka Kirino might adapt to this job quickly. But then she thought of her personality, which seemed a bit bad. She was not sure whether she could really adapt to such a job.

"Last time, we attended a comic convention together. The blonde girl was a model. Maybe she's suitable for this job?"

"What about you, Gogen?"

"……let me consider it."

She didn't agree, but she didn't refuse immediately either. Gokou Ruri herself wasn't sure whether she should agree or not, and she couldn't give an accurate answer for the time being.

"Then please help me make the contact."

"Ah."

Contacting Kousaka Kirino was not a difficult thing for Gokou Ruri. It was just a phone call and the call was quickly connected. When Kousaka Kirino's familiar voice sounded, Gokou Ruri's expression changed suddenly.

"Hello, it's me. I have something to ask you. Do you have time today?"

"what?"

Kousaka Kirino on the other end did not feel much discomfort with Gokou Ruri's indifferent tone. She had already known Gokou Ruri's personality for a long time and instead thought that her personality was unexpectedly cute.

"I want to introduce you to a job, you might be interested."

"Ok?"

"Come to my house and meet and talk."

Then, without waiting for Kousaka Kirino to give an answer, he hung up the phone, leaving Kousaka Kirino, who was resting at home, stunned.

"Work?"

- - - -

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation tickets!

Chiba New Story: 465. The direction of thinking is very important

Kousaka Kirino has a serious job as a photo model, so she is not really interested in the job that Gokou Ruri mentioned. She just suddenly heard Gokou Ruri talking to her like this, and she hung up the phone so quickly that she didn't have time to refuse her.

At the same time, thinking of Gokou Ruri's personality, Kousaka Kirino also suspected that Gokou Ruri had met a scammer?

In today's society, scammers are not uncommon. We can often see and hear news about fraud. Gokuru Ruri is not very old and is definitely at the age where she can be deceived.

It felt like a fire was burning in her heart. When she thought that Gogen Ruri might be deceived, she couldn't help but stand up, hurriedly left her room, walked to the door of Gogen's house alone, and pressed the doorbell.

Gokou Ruri, who had been waiting at home for a long time, soon arrived at the door and opened it. Looking at the anxious man standing at the door with sweat on his forehead, Gokou Ruri was inexplicably surprised.

"Could it be that something happened to her recently, perhaps she bought some expensive bonus game, causing her to go over budget and is desperate for extra income?"

Thinking of this possibility, Gokou Ruri's eyes suddenly became subtle, and at the same time, Kousaka Kirino, who was standing at the door, felt a little concerned about the girl in front of her.

"Are you OK?"

"..."

As soon as Kousaka Kirino opened her mouth, Gokou Ruri, who was preparing how to start, was stunned. She stared at Kousaka Kirino in front of her and was silent for a moment.

"Isn't that what I should be asking you?"

"Why do I?"

Looking at Kousaka Kirino, who had a confused expression and didn't seem to have encountered any difficulties, Gokou Ruri couldn't help but frown.

guessed wrong?

Thinking that she might be wrong, Gokou Ruri didn't dare to guess why the person in front of her had come to her house in such a hurry. Thinking that there were guests waiting in the living room, she asked Kousaka Kirino to follow her into the living room.

When she arrived at the living room and saw the wise man sitting there, Kousaka Kirino looked a little surprised.

"You are... the guy who made the game next door last time..."

"Miyamizu Kento, it's been a long time since we last met, Miss Kousaka. I asked Miss Gogen to help with the contact this time. Did it bother you?"

"..."

Staring blankly at the wise man in front of her, Kousaka Kirino turned around to look at Gokou Ruri and found that the other person had a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

"So... the work she mentioned just now was Mr. Miyamizu. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kousaka Kirino didn't quite understand what was going on, but remembering that Kento had helped her in the past, she slowed down her voice and softly asked the boy in front of her about the so-called "work".

"It's nothing special. I've been thinking about online live streaming recently, and since you're a model, Ms. Kosaka, you probably know some model friends. So I wanted you to ask those friends if there's anyone interested in this industry."

It wasn't something particularly difficult to understand. After Kento explained his intentions, Kousaka Kirino already understood the current situation.

"Is it live on the Internet?"

She frowned slightly. Kousaka Kirino only had a superficial understanding of this industry and didn't have a good impression of it, so she didn't have too many thoughts in her heart. She wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a big deal to just ask her friend.

"It may be different from the live broadcast you know. The live broadcast I'm referring to is a 'virtual anchor', who conducts live events as a virtual image."

"That's it."

nodded.

Kousaka Kirino didn't quite understand, but she still acted as if she did.

When she got home, she had to find out what this so-called "virtual anchor" was.

"Of course, if Ms. Kosaka is interested in this industry, you can give it a try."

"I don't really know much about it, and I don't have any plans to get involved in this area for now. I'll ask my friends when I get back. If anyone is interested, I can introduce it to her."

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Kousaka."

Faced with the polite wise man, Kousaka Kirino quickly replied "No trouble". The two had a brief exchange and he explained the general situation to Kousaka Kirino. Kousaka Kirino also understood the existence of the so-called "virtual anchor" and looked thoughtful.

It doesn't seem like a difficult job. If it is really that simple, why not give it a try?

Perhaps at home, her attitude towards her brother Kousaka Kyosuke may not have been very good, or even bad, but in the eyes of outsiders, Kousaka Kirino has always been a polite and popular child.

Things like making normal friends are not particularly difficult for Kousaka Kirino...except for communicating with otaku girls.

After staying at Gokou's house for a while, Kento got up and said goodbye, leaving Kousaka Kirino sitting in the living room, looking at Gokou Ruri.

"You tell me, do you want to try it?"

"Using that silent attitude you showed when we first met, are you going to play the scarecrow in front of the audience? That's a good idea. Perhaps it will attract the attention of scarecrow enthusiasts."

Without the wise man present, Gokou Ruri curled her lips and looked at Kousaka Kirino with disdain.

"That time I just wasn't familiar with how to communicate with you nerdy girls! Under normal circumstances, I've always been a very popular person. Simple communication like this is not difficult for me at all!"

"is it?"

Gokou Ruri stared at Kousaka Kirino for a while, which made Kousaka Kirino feel a little unbearable. When she was about to attack, Gokou Ruri withdrew her gaze.

"Everything has been discussed. If there's nothing else, go back. I still have things to do this afternoon."

"Where are Tsumugi and Hinata?"
