：Nice to meet you (2nd time)
：I’m shocked at the act of having a second debut…
：The newcomers also have a unique personality this time
：Thanks to the top, the following members will be able to debut without any nervousness. Wasn’t this the best choice of personnel?
：This child will grow
：It seems like she’s about to sink instead
「Alright, konbannya~!」
：Konbannyaー
：Konbannyaー
：Still cute
「Nice to meet you nya–, I’m Arutema’s new Vtuber, Kuroneko San nya–!!」
：Nya–nya–
：Don’t feign ignorance
：You’ve appeared in aggregator sites and clips
「Ha!? I’ve already been clipped?! Ah–」
：She lost her sheep’s clothing right away kusa
：Ponko
：Kuroneko-san was a bakeneko1 huh…
aaAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
It took me a lot of effort to pretend as if nothing had happened! I thought that if I feigned it, I could isolate the debut stream incident and fix the situation!
However, the comment section began to fill with words like 「草2」「Yabai2」or 「The newcomer destroyed all expectations」.
It shouldn’t have been like this, why did it turn out like this!?
But I can’t always be flustered by mistakes.
After the debut stream, the manager scolded me harshly and had me ready for another round of tears.
No matter what, this stream is the only one that can’t be forcibly ended or flamed.
「Suu–haa–, okay」
：Okay
：Okay
：The real thing is from here on out
「Let me apologize first. Earlier, I ended the stream midway. My deepest apologies for doing so. Regardless of being second generation’s top batter, my selfish actions have inconvenienced many people. I’m reflecting on it」
：It’s alright
：You were able to apologize, good girl
：We also played around too much so we’re reflecting
：Sorry
「The, therefore! I’ll introduce myself to quickly get rid of the gloomy mood! Nya!」
Though I say that, the prepared self introduction (jikoshoukai) script has been leaked due to the accidental introduction (jikoshoukai).
As expected, even I’m not stupid nor courageous enough to read the same text again.
「I’ll just shorten everything nya. If you want a more detailed profile, you can just look at the official site or the clips nya」
：It’s the first time I’ve seen a Liver tell people to look at clips for the self introduction
：Strong
「Due to various reasons, there’s not a lot of time so I’m speeding through the rest. Well then, please take a look here nya!」
【Tags and other things】
Stream tag: #Kuroneko-sannojikan (Kuroneko-san time)
Illustration Tag: #Kuroneko-sangatooru (Kuroneko-san passing through)
Sensitive: #Kuroneko-sangasakeru (Kuroneko-san stay away)
Fanname: Goshujin (Master)
「I really wanted to decide on the tags during the stream but there isn’t much time left. On top of that, I’m currently taking marshmallows. So I decided on those from my own judgment and bias, nya」
I took questions, official tag suggestions, and etc. on the Kuroneko San Twitter account.
There were also playful names and……I thought about listing them as possible choices for the stream and picking them. But since there really is no time, I just chose the ones that seem safe.
Well, the lack of time is just reaping what I sow though.
Anyhow, the reactions of the viewers doesn’t seem to be too bad.
It seems they especially like the fan name, goshujin; I can see many comments in the chat with that word.
But saying nya–nya– just because I have cat ears seems like way too simple and cheap of a character setting.
Besides, sticking a “nya” to the end of every sentence is just simply a pain in the butt.
I understand that Virtual Youtubers bring out completely new characters from a fusion of real and virtual. That’s why character settings exist and their personality and behavior are partially-based on those. But having a newbie carry out an unfamiliar persona is difficult after all. My stress has actually gone up.
「There’s only 10 minutes left so I think I will answer a few marshmallows」
：She’s acting more and more casual kusa
：The management will get angry at you again
：That’s who Kuroneko San is, a proud and aloof cat
「Yes, first one! It says『Nice to meet you, I’ve been so excited waiting for the second generation’s streams that I can only sleep 8 hours a day. I like Kuroneko-san’s appearance very much but I wanted to ask what you plan to do for your streams. Please tell me so that my sick little sister can die in peace』. Unn, first, don’t just kill off your sick little sister! That’s too much even for a joke!」
：A tactless one appeared
：Aaah you’re going to get flamed again
：You’ve done it now
：A woman who speedruns getting flamed
「Ha!? I’m not the one in the wrong here!? No but I’m the one who chose the marshmallow!」
It’s just that no matter what, I wanted to say a few words to the person……
「An, anyway. I think I will try out various things to figure out what I want to do. I want to do gaming streams but I don’t have all the computer parts needed yet, so I think chatting streams will be the main for a while」
：Will it be alright?
：Feels like you’ll just get flamed right off the bat
：Nothing but unease
：Wouldn’t it be better to have management stand beside her?
「Your impression of me is the worst! I’m fine with something like chatting. As long as I’m not looking at the other person’s face, even a komyushou like me can hold a normal conversation」
：Kuroneko-san is a komyushou?
：She was quite nervous during her (real) first stream after all
：Aah it’s the pattern where the komyushou’s unique inability to read the mood gets them flamed
Even if I’m a komyushou in real life, I won’t get flustered online.
Well, that’s assuming that the conversation partner can’t see my face and doesn’t actually talk……
Aah, I’m remembering the first time I got into a call with my gen mates…uu……
「Le, let’s pull ourselves together and move on to the next one.『Good evening Kuroneko-san. I’m a gentleman writing an illustrative reference book for women’s three sizes. If it is fine with you, could you please tell me your three sizes? I think there’s quite a lot of demand for short women with tiny breasts』…hey! Who are you calling small flat-chested loli! Whoever uploaded this, come out right now! I’m boing boing!」
：Aren’t you exposing yourself!
：Showing your true colors
：Boing boing (lol)
：I’ve been seeing the three size gentleman bro a lot recently
I’m not lying! I really am boing boing! I’m so boing boing I have to change my bra every 2.3 months!! Please believe me!
But the avatar displayed on the screen has a lamentable cliff for a chest.
Even if you take away the blazer, it’d be unreasonable to say that she’s the type to look slender in clothing. That’s just how much she’s lacking in dreams.
The world is cruel.
「Eeh–, my three sizes from top to bottom are 91, 56, 84!」
：Eh
：ゑ
：Eh!
：You rigged the numbers too much
「Ha–? It’s true though? I really am boing boing though? It’ll be amazingly big when I take off my clothes though? Kaah~too bad I can't take it off! The management will get mad if I do that!」
：Light clothing for new outfit plz
：Swimsuits quick
：But this woman, it doesn’t feel like she’s acting
「Alright alright! Next one’s the last!『Nice to meet you San-chan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for your stream. I have a quick question. What caused San-chan to become a Vtuber? If that’s hard to answer, please tell me your favorite food』」
The reason I became a Vtuber.
The reason is in the self introduction that I bombed during the actual first stream.
But it’s no use trying to keep up appearances now. Instead of trying to answer according to the character setting, I think I’ll answer it as myself.
But my real thoughts are that the questions are mostly ones I shouldn’t answer on my first stream, leaving me with few choices.
What is this about panty color! Erogenous zones! Your reaction when you smelled cat powder! Restrain yourselves!
Well it’s fine, this is a standard question too.
「My favorite foods are K〇C, MacD〇ald, cup n〇dles, and finally yakiniku!」
：Seems unhealthy
：Eat some vegetables
：Favorites are like a fatty’s
：Shh!
「Ha? I’m super duper thin though? I’m within the lower half of 40kg?」
Well in the first place, favorite food doesn’t mean food I eat a lot so what I said is true.
K〇C is the invention of a genius, MacD〇ald is so cheap and good, and I don’t even need to say anything about yakiniku.
By the way, cup n〇dles and cup ramen are completely different things.
「I guess what pushed me to become a Vtuber is that time when I saw Kirin-senpai’s celebration stream. I already enjoyed Vtubers as a viewer so when there were auditions, I thought “this is it!”」
：I also thought “this is it!”
：Me too
：Well I failed though
：Me three
「Well that’s the impetus for it but, the reason is something different. You guys saw it during the first stream’s accident. When I said I wanted friends, that was the real reason. You know, it’s because I don’t have any friends……」
：Uu
：Huh, I can’t see my screen
：(´；ω；｀)ブワッ
「I said it earlier but I’m a komyushou. I called myself an acquired3 komyushou but, even though I was able to talk normally a long time ago, before I knew it, I began stuttering in conversations. And, as expected, I thought I couldn’t stay this way. I thought I could improve my komyushou tendency if I used chat as my conversation partner. You know, when you have a response battle4, you see the other person as a bunch of letters and are unaffected as a komyushou」
：Was there a girl who debuted for such a sad reason?
：She even confessed to having response battle
：The one who had a response battle yesterday might have been Kuroneko-san
：I’m sympathizing with this girl too much, it’s painful
：You’re amazing for applying and wanting to improve yourself despite being a komyushou…I only thought about meeting Kirin-chan
：Now I know the reason why I was rejected
Even though I say that.
「But the number one reason was that I wanted to be spoiled after all!!!!」
：Yep flamed
：Alright roast her
：Clipped
：Quickly apologize
「Whyyy y” y” y!!」
