Like yesterday, I took some painkillers and warmed up my body in the bath.
I still had time even after getting out, so I absentmindedly watched TV while checking my channel’s view count and subscribers.
Checking it daily is like admitting defeat, so I try to do it occasionally.

“Huh?”
Surprisingly, due to the clips and archives from my collaboration with Hana-san, my channel had a massive surge in popularity, surpassing 100,000 subscribers.

As an indie VTuber, this growth rate is quite fast, and I’m still trying to come to terms with this result.

“What the…This is amazing…”
The shock was so extreme I could hardly find the words.

For now, I tweeted a thank you on Tweeter and announced a commemorative stream, which quickly spread.

100,000 followers and subscribers are no small feat.

“I can’t believe I’ve come this far…”
I was filled with gratitude for everyone who had supported me: Kaoru-san, Yura-san, Hana-san, the people at GloryCute, Yuuto, the girls from my class, my family, and everyone who has watched my videos and streams.

With that newfound motivation and knowing that Ito-san was about to pick me up, I quickly got ready and stepped outside.

It was still uncomfortably hot, but my timing was perfect as Ito-san had just arrived, so I hopped into the car.

“Good morning, Yuki-kun!”
“Good morning, Ito-san!”
“Today’s the last day, but let’s give it our best!”
“Yes!”
Then, after arriving at the studio, Ito-san started doing my makeup.

“We’re going for a natural look today, so it’s going to be quite subtle.”
“A natural look?”
“Uh-huh. Up to now, the makeup was more noticeable, but they’ve requested a more natural look today, so that’s what I’ll be doing.”
“Got it! Is it to match the outfit or something?”
“Actually, there’s been a theme for the outfits on the previous days.”
“A theme?”

“Yup. The first day was about a cute outfit that you could wear outside. It was designed to adjust with the weather, like opening the coat buttons when it’s warmer.”
“I see. The outfit on the first day was indeed cute.”
“Right? I saw the video and thought it was really nice! The second day was more about being trendy than just cute. It was about fitting in with the current fashion.”
“Trendy?”
“Yes! Orange skirts are in this year, so we were showing off that we can keep up with the trends and also have outfits that match them. That was the concept for the second day.”
“I see, it was all well thought out…”
I said, impressed.

“Well, that’s part of our job.”
“Then, as for me, my job is to be photographed, so I’ll do my best as usual!”
“Yeah! I’m rooting for you!”
“Thank you!”
After the makeup was done, I headed to the wardrobe room.

“Good morning, Yuki-kun.”
“Good morning, Kato-san!”
As usual, the day started with greetings, and then I was handed the clothes.

“Today’s outfit is pretty easy, just put it on.”
“Huh? Is this…?”
I felt like I had seen this outfit before…

“It’s a new version of the one you wore to Comiket a while back.”
“I knew it!”
Yeah, this is that cat hoodie!

“I-Isn’t this quite the switch-up compared to the past outfits?”
“Yeah, the past ones had a different image, but this one is meant to be casual wear that you can wear at home or even go out in. Plus, it’s really cute.”
“True, it’s cute… oh, it even has a tail, adorable…”
“I know, right? But the tail made it hard to wash, so we made it detachable and solved that problem.”

“Th-That’s impressively detailed!”
“I got scolded by the people who make these clothes, hahaha!”
“Oof… I guess it must be difficult to make something like this…”
“They managed to approve it by making each one custom-made.”
“That must affect the price a lot…”
“Yeah, it’s over ten thousand yen.”
“Yikes…”
“Expensive, right? Well, you can go and get changed now.”
“O-Okay!”

When I tried on the change of clothes, it turned out to be super cute.
The hoodie, designed to match my image as Yuka Shirahime, was a white cat hoodie with soft and fluffy ears and a tail.

If only it didn’t have the tail, it would be great for everyday wear…

After getting dressed, I stepped out of the small room to show it to Kato-san.

“How does it look?”
“Yeah! It suits you!”
“That’s great!”
“All right, let’s quickly get to the studio.”
“Okay!”

I then entered the studio to shoot the same scene as I had done the previous two days.

“Good morning!”
“Morning, Yuka-chan. You’re still in your natural self today?”

“Embarrassingly, yes, as I still feel sore…”
“Honestly, I couldn’t even get into the pose if I were you, let alone pull it off perfectly.”
“They still hurt, though.”
“Then we better finish the shoot quickly. Let’s both do our best.”
“Okay!”

The flow of the shoot was familiar by now; I remembered all the poses perfectly, and we got the shots right quickly.
Still, the W-sitting position hurt, so I just had to bear it.

♢

“All right, that’s a wrap! Good job! (The way he does the W-sit sure is sexy… Is it because he’s trying to hide the pain?)”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“We’ll handle the editing at our company and send the video data over. Once you receive it, you can upload it to Yotube.”
“Okay!”
After that, I left the studio and returned to Ito-san’s room.

“Good job, Yuki-kun.”
“Thank you, Ito-san!”
“So, the shoot’s finally over. How was it?”
“I’ve done photo shoots before, but video shoots take more time to get it right since there’s movement involved, so it felt more tiring…”

“Ah, that makes sense.
Both take the same time, but video shoots can be more exhausting because you’re constantly moving.”
“But it was a great experience!”
“That’s good to hear. It’s not something you get to experience often. If it was beneficial for you, Yuki-kun, then I’m glad.”
“Really, I am too. If I had told myself a year ago I’d be doing this, I would never have believed it.”

“True, I wouldn’t have believed myself a year ago if I said there would be a cute boy like Yuki-kun around…”
“Ugh… calling me cute, I mean…”
“But you really are!”
“Th-Thank you… I’ll go take off the makeup now!”
“Don’t be shy, you’re cute!”
After removing my makeup, Ito-san drove me home.

As we were about to reach my house, she said, “I don’t know when we’ll have another opportunity like this, but I’m rooting for you, Yuki-kun! I’m looking forward to working with you again!”
She helped me a lot, teaching me all sorts of things when I was clueless.
I truly am grateful.

“Yes! I’d be happy to work together again!”
I said that from the bottom of my heart.

“All right then, see you when I see you, Yuki-kun!”
“Thank you for picking me up and dropping me off these three days!”
And with that, the car pulled up at my house, marking the end of my three-day job.
