Shorts #17: Saplings

Hello! Let us continue from before.

<Did you just cut the stream?>

Yes. I live in a third-world country, you see. My internet isn’t exactly up to standard for streaming, so I tried cutting it off a portion at a time.

<No wonder all of your videos are short. Quantity over quality, huh?>

Don’t worry! My video is still shorter than your height! I take my viewers’ time into consideration, so I prefer quality over quantity!

<Pftt! No! I shouldn’t laugh at that. Evil Queen! You’re tall, but your follower count is about as tall as sea level! People just scroll past your streams. Hm… that pun didn’t really mesh.>

No, I am popular! Look! I have over ten thousand aggregate views! It’s awesome! Even if only a few people become my members or followers, as long as I can get a giggle out of my viewers, I’m happy! Money is secondary! What I want is to bring smiles to the world!

<Is that what an Evil Queen should say? Oh! Alu-nyan asked to join.>

Eh? You invited her? But I wanted this to be just for us!

<No. I’m not getting close to a delusional queen. Hello Alu-nyan! Welcome! Here’s a kiss for you, chu!>

“Hello! I am Alucatnia Majestinya, nya. Second-gen Vtuber from V-Idol Company. Nice to meet you, nya! Thank you for letting me join, Luna-chan! I was getting hungry streaming by myself. I wonder if I can eat one of your followers for lunch.”

Oi… you really eat one of your fans?

“Munchies exist solely for me. They need to satisfy me, right, nya? Munchies, you want to be eaten, right? There’s nothing wrong with me eating you, right?”

…Was that— No, I shouldn’t ask. That’s against the rules. Let’s change the topic. Luna-chan, what did you name your fans?

<My fans? They’re called Saplings! I heard about you, you know. Your fans are called NEEE? What does that even mean?>

Niu Evil Empire Entity. I am a queen, so they’re my citizens.

<I see. Ah, time is up, Saplings! See you tomorrow. Let my love in this channel spread to your heart. Bye-bye, chu!> Bye-bye! “Bye-bye!”
