Bulletin Board and Newspaper Clippings
Sunday.
Night.
A certain message board.
[Newcomers] A Forum for Discussing Newly Debuted VTubers [Independent VTubers]
Anonymous Streamer:
Any interesting newcomers lately?
Anonymous Streamer:
Doesn't matter if they're independent or part of a company.
Anonymous Streamer:
I found someone called Onimiya Onigami.
Anonymous Streamer:
WHO?
Anonymous Streamer:
The newcomer who streamed an FPS game yesterday.
Anonymous Streamer:
Ah, those clips are already going around.
Anonymous Streamer:
The silver-haired one with horns?
Anonymous Streamer:
Oh, yeah.
The post only contained one short video.
"Rookie Oni V Gets 4 Kills on Their First Try at an FPS Game"
Views—
1,284.
It wasn't a big number.
But.
For a clip posted by a new VTuber with only 38 subscribers, that was more than enough.
Anonymous Streamer:
Turns out she's pretty good at FPS games, lol.
Anonymous Streamer:
Was that really her first time?
Anonymous Streamer:
According to her, yeah.
Anonymous Streamer:
Your aim is really good!
Anonymous Streamer:
Doesn't she have a cool voice?
Anonymous Streamer:
Female?
Anonymous Streamer:
She's feminine, but talks like a guy, lol.
Anonymous Streamer:
That's what makes her good.
The video continued.
Right after taking down an enemy—
"Yes! How was that?!"
And right after that—
"I can't help it if my voice gets hoarse!"
Then I read through the comments.
"...Why did she suddenly get cute there?"
A slightly embarrassed voice.
Anonymous Streamer:
LMAO.
Anonymous Streamer:
I love this part.
Anonymous Streamer:
You suddenly turned into a girl!
Anonymous Streamer:
The gap is huge.
Anonymous Streamer:
At first, I thought she'd be a rough character, but she's actually really cute.
Anonymous Streamer:
Is she a newcomer?
Anonymous Streamer:
A newcomer. Only a few dozen subscribers so far.
Anonymous Streamer:
I feel like I found her while she's still a hidden gem.
Another discussion thread.
[New VTuber] Do You Know Onimiya Kishin?
Anonymous Streamer:
I recently found—
Anonymous Streamer:
Someone who's really good at FPS games.
Anonymous Streamer:
I've been chatting with her too.
Anonymous Streamer:
What's she like?
Anonymous Streamer:
She's really interesting.
Anonymous Streamer:
Does she like swearing?
Anonymous Streamer:
A little rough around the edges.
Anonymous Streamer:
But she likes pudding.
Anonymous Streamer:
LMAO.
Anonymous Streamer:
You're an oni, but you like pudding?
Anonymous Streamer:
She said that yesterday too.
Anonymous Streamer:
Cute.
The discussion gradually shifted.
Anonymous Streamer:
I like your voice.
Anonymous Streamer:
I know what you mean.
Anonymous Streamer:
Thankfully, her numbers are usually low, but they spike sometimes.
Anonymous Streamer:
And when she gets embarrassed, she gets really quiet.
Anonymous Streamer:
Exactly.
Anonymous Streamer:
There are moments when she really shows her feminine side.
Anonymous Streamer:
I'm sure she's acting, but she seems pretty genuine.
Anonymous Streamer:
That's what makes her good, right?
Around that time.
Elsewhere, the demon god's social media account became a hot topic.
Kishin Onimiya
Followers—
61.
There had been 38 viewers at the end of yesterday's livestream.
Just one night.
That alone had brought in more than 20 new followers.
Anonymous Streamer:
I saw on social media that her numbers are going up.
Anonymous Streamer:
I'm at 44 now.
Anonymous Streamer:
No, I'm already at 50.
Anonymous Streamer:
Isn't that growth pretty fast?
Anonymous Streamer:
Looks like it came from a clip.
Anonymous Streamer:
That's promising for an independent creator.
And then.
Another post was made.
Anonymous Streamer:
This girl could really shine if she collabed with someone.
Anonymous Streamer:
Isn't it still too early?
Anonymous Streamer:
She only just started streaming herself.
Anonymous Streamer:
But I think it's interesting.
Anonymous Streamer:
I want her to grow on her own for now.
Anonymous Streamer:
I see.
Anonymous Streamer:
It's fun watching newcomers slowly become known.
Around that time.
The person they were talking about—
"......"
Was asleep in her room.
She knew nothing about the discussion board.
She didn't even know that her clip had been viewed more than a thousand times.
And.
She didn't know that people who had never heard her name were already talking about "Onimiya Kishin."
She knew nothing.
The next morning.
"…………Yeah."
I woke up.
I looked at my smartphone.
"......?"
I had a ton of notifications.
"What's this?"
I opened social media.
"......"
Followers.
87.
"…………Huh?"
There had been 61 yesterday.
"......"
Let me check again.
"...Why?"
I checked the notifications.
"I came here from a clip!"
"I watched your FPS stream yesterday!"
"We'll keep supporting you!"
"......"
I froze on my bed.
"...A clip?"
I checked the video I had uploaded yesterday.
Views.
3,842.
"......"
My mind went blank.
"…………Huh?"
Yesterday, it had only been around a thousand views.
That was all.
In a single night.
"...What's going on?"
Still holding my smartphone.
I couldn't move for a while.
Still.
Onimiya Kishin was unknown.
But.
Someone had definitely started to find her.
And.
This small change—
Eventually, it would become a huge wave.
At that time, I—
I had no idea yet.
