The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 108: Apply For a Duel

Gaho.

Real name: Choi Gaho.

He was a professional gamer active in the Labyrinthos VR Korean League.

Currently, he was part of a team called 'GGS' (Gangcheol Genesis), but he had previously played for the Hwangseong Phantom Slayers during the early days of the league.

In other words, he had once been on the same team as Arima.

[If it weren't for that traffic accident, I would be the owner of the team, sigh.]

A heavy sigh came from Arima over the speaker.

Gaho was one of the oldest members in the league along with Arima.

In other words, they were of the same generation, and even though their teams had changed, they remained friends.

"If you're going to complain like that, you should have avoided getting hurt."

[Do you think I wanted to get hurt? Damn it! And why haven’t you watched a single anime at your age? Are you even human???]

"What are you saying, you otaku?"

[Shut up, you non-otaku bastard.]

Both of them were in their 30s, but men remained immature no matter how old they got.

Gaho let out a sigh.

'If you weren't my friend...'

Owner of the Leviathan team in the Fantasy League.

In truth, it was a role he didn't particularly want to take on.

Gaho didn’t really understand VTubers. Unlike Arima.

It wasn’t that he disliked subculture sentiments, but he had never truly enjoyed them.

In the first place, he didn’t have the leisure to enjoy other hobbies. If he had the time, he would rather prioritize games and his family.

Still, he took on the role of owner as a matter of loyalty.

It was also for his wife and for the sake of his family. Unlike the single Arima, Gaho had many things to consider.

"So, what should we do about the draft?"

[Why are you asking me? It's your team now.]

"I’ve watched a few VTubers and streamers, but I really don’t know anything. I don’t have time to watch everything because of scrims."

In Gaho's hand was the applicant list for the Fantasy League. It was filled with the names of VTubers and streamers.

He didn’t bother to check if it was three digits or four digits.

In any case, there were a hell of a lot of names, and he had to somehow select six of them.

"Originally, you would have built the team. Recommend someone."

[Um... If you really don’t know, just grab Hanabane Rui.]

"Hanabane Rui? Is she Japanese?"

[She’s a VTuber from a company called Ink Palette in Japan.]

"Oh, isn’t that Horizon Air? They’re pretty famous."

[It’s better not to touch Horizon Air.]

Arima said in a serious tone.

[Horizon Air has a lot of unicorns.]

"What do you mean by unicorn?"

[There are many who demand the purity of VTubers. People hate it when the VTubers I like get involved with men.]

"What are you talking about? I'm a married man, and I'll only be meeting them through broadcasts."

[Don’t you know about virtual pregnancies?]

"That’s ridiculous."

[Anyways, if you don’t know, just leave Horizon Air to Gryphon.]

Arima said that. In any case, he meant to filter out Horizon Air.

[Hanabane Rui is a senior with seven years of activity, so no Japanese VTuber can just casually approach her. If you want to manage your team easily, just pick Rui and think about the rest later.]

"But do I have to fill the team only with foreigners? It would be nice to have a few Koreans."

[Then check out the SerenadeKR and EYEAI VTubers. Choose from there.]

So, Gaho followed Arima's advice and looked at the VTubers from SerenadeKR and EYEAI.

For popularity, there seemed to be no VTuber that could match Aurora.

'If we’re thinking about the tournament's appeal, we should definitely pick Aurora.'

Although she primarily played the position of a damage dealer, it seemed she could handle other positions too. In other words, she felt like a well-rounded player.

In other words, picking Aurora might make the rest of the draft easier.

'Then I can make Hanabane Rui the team captain and Aurora the ace.'

While Aurora had leadership skills and a fearless style, she was still a newcomer who had only recently debuted. It was uncertain how much broadcasting or organizational experience she had.

On the other hand, Rui had a wealth of broadcasting experience.

Her extensive network based on that was impressive, and she showed a leadership role in guiding her juniors as the face of the company. She was truly a veteran.

Aurora was excellent in skill but might lack broadcasting experience.

Rui had ample broadcasting experience but was slightly less skilled.

If they could complement each other, it seemed like the Leviathan team could function without Gaho needing to intervene.

'Then I'll go with picking Aurora, but it would be nice to have one or two more Koreans.'

With that thought, Gaho watched Aurora’s broadcast.

While the team would be centered around captain Rui, Aurora would naturally take on the role of ace since she was a Tier 1 player.

From Gaho's perspective, the most concerning factor was if Rui and Laura would clash with each other.

Especially since Laura had an overly strong character and a laid-back personality.

If someone could play a buffering role between Rui and Laura while supporting Laura, it would help maintain balance.

VTubers who got entangled with Laura in broadcasts.

When he thought he could select one or two of them, suddenly he saw a comment.

[Huh? Isn’t Sora a player?]

[Ah, um... about that... Sora...]

[Ugh... I’m sorry...]

In the EYEAI Labyrinthos tournament, Gaho saw Sora crying.

[Sora cried... and got automatically logged out from the VR capsule...]

[How strange. Crying makes you log out.]

[If you need to pee, the VR capsule automatically logs out, right? Tears are somewhat similar to that...]

[That’s inappropriate. Please avoid using blunt terms like 'pee'.]

[I-I'm sorry....]

"Ayanokoji Sora? Her name is too hard to remember."

Her name was so long that it stuck in his impression instead.

He didn’t know exactly what feelings Sora had when she cried on that broadcast.

But he could tell it was sincere. You wouldn’t cry unless you meant it.

After all, Choi Gaho was a professional gamer.

People who were serious about games always attracted his attention.

"Hmm..."

From then on, Choi Gaho started watching Sora's broadcasts.

The most decisive moment was during "How to Survive in an Apocalypse World."

It was the scene where Laura and Sora teamed up to break through Changyoung and Jeongseok.

[Laura, be careful!]

Sora caught the chair that Changyoung was about to throw, allowing Laura to react in time.

No matter how he looked at it, Sora was the one who matched best with Laura.

[Commentary] What’s with the duplicate nominations for the A-girl?

I know she’s good, but can she really get duplicated like that?

[Comments]

She's both popular and skilled.Yep, that’s the level.Each has their own reasons.Leviathan probably wanted a Korean Tier 1, and Cerberus just wanted a good player.And Gryphon needs a female VTuber, so it’s easier with Aurora.

[Commentary] Anna is experiencing a mental victory, lol.

(Highlight)

Anna: I’m not saying I have any complaints! Thinking about it, being with Cerberus might not be so bad.

Anna: It might be good to keep a certain distance from my favorite, right? If we’re on the same team, I might show my ugly side.

Anna: I hope Rui doesn’t think of me strangely, so maybe it’s better that we’re on different teams.

[Comments]

Self-objectification isn’t self-reflection, lol.But Hanabane already knew Anna as a cringey character, isn’t it too late?It’s funny that Anna is the only one on a different team from Laura and Rui.She was so confident that she would be on the same team as Laura, lol.But why did Cerberus pick Anna?They said they didn't want Laura and Anna as a set.Hmm... is that so?(Author) Is Anna good?If A-girl memorizes evasion, Anna is a magic DPS; it would probably be annoying from the opponent’s perspective.

[Commentary] What’s with Sora?

【Team Leviathan Tier 6 Selection: 'Ayanokoji Sora' from EYEAI】

What are you doing there, lol?

[Comments]

Did you say you were supporting Sora?(Author) No.(Author) I’ve watched all of Sora’s broadcasts, but I don’t recall her ever saying she was applying for the Fantasy League.Seriously, what’s going on?Did Sora start a labyrinth?(They started during the tournament.)Why did she even apply?

[General] ???: Please call me "Laura’s Wife."

【Team Leviathan Tier 1 Selection: 'Aurora' from EYEAI】

【Team Leviathan Tier 6 Selection: 'Ayanokoji Sora' from EYEAI】

(Sora Meme)

"Because I’ve already 'married'."

[Comments]

Ah... of course, "the second wife of the Count."Slowly acknowledge that Sora is the main wife.I acknowledge it.The winner of the main wife competition, lol.Finally breaking free from the "cooking slave" status?Anna is losing today, lol.She was winning when she captured Rui, lol.That’s just addiction to self-satisfaction.

【This_Code: One-on-One Chat Room with Aurora】

Aurora

[Come over because Anna is making a fuss.]

Ayanokoji Sora

[Okay...]

Sora arrived at Laura's house.

【Ainatsu isainatsu donated 10,000 won.】

【Why is Sora, who’s not even the main wife, coming?】

【Ainatsu isainatsu donated 10,000 won.】

【Sora is Laura’s main wife.】

"Ayanokoji Sora! I challenge you to a duel!!!"

She had memorized the password to Laura's house. This wasn’t the first time Sora had come to this house.

So she entered the room casually, only to hear Anna shout that at her.

Sora was taken aback.

"Why is Anna-senpai acting like that?"

Sora glanced at Laura.

While Anna was making a scene, Laura was leisurely sipping her tea.

"Is there really a need to explain? You wanted to join Leviathan, but you’re just jealous of her."

"Isn’t that a bit misplaced? Shouldn't you be jealous of someone in the same Tier?"

"That’s a very valid point."

Laura agreed.

Leviathan's Tier 3 was someone named Barabara Lian.

He was quite famous among personal VTubers. He had been active since early 2018 and had a cheerful image as a manly VTuber.

He had experience in various competitions, including FPS tournaments, Fall Guys competitions, watermelon growing competitions, Madew tournaments, and Smash Sisters tournaments.

Given that kind of person, it was only natural for Anna to feel inferior.

"Ugh! Why am I the only one being ostracized?! Huh?! Why me?!"

"Is it because you’ve been acting unpleasantly?"

Anna feeling jealous of Sora didn’t seem justified.

Thinking that, Sora inadvertently scratched at Anna’s wounds.

"Ouch! You brat, Ayanokoji Sora...! That’s unfair!"

"Isn’t it unfair for a senpai to pick on their junior?"

"Ugh..."

"As a senior, why not show some dignity, Anna-senpai? Don’t be jealous of your junior. Okay?"

She’s really tearing it up, lol.Sora wins by a landslide.Anna is pathetic...Anna! Say something!Beep! She’s already a corpse.

Anna looked like she wanted to retort, but she was simply outmatched in vocabulary.
