Volume 1 Chapter 21: Dog Bro’s Desk Mate Is Actually a Little Girl?!
Any time, any place. Super detective, serious about solving cases!
【What kind of crazy livestream title is this? This streamer is wild.】
【Thanks for the invite. Just entered, so is this a Werewolf game scene?】
【Not a Conan scene, not a Conan scene, not a Conan scene?】
【Does anyone really think Conan is a detective manga? I always see it as sci-fi.】
【Not fantasy, not fantasy, not fantasy???】
“Ehehe~”
Seeing the chat talk about the title she had just changed, the girl laughed shyly, her voice light and pleasant.
“Because this is the story-sharing part now. I’m helping someone analyze a problem. I’m not really a detective, but I can still ‘handle a case,’ right? Alright, alright, Dog Bro, hurry up and tell it! I can’t wait!”
The girl waved her hand excitedly. The chat also started urging Gao Liang on. He was a bit stunned, he didn’t expect such a strong reaction from the stream.
Hmm…
Where should I start?
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: My desk mate… how should I say this… Her personality is a bit strange. More specifically, she’s not good at talking to people, kind of shy, and very alone in class.】
“Huh?”
Lin Lin froze for a moment. Huh, this description sounds kind of familiar…
Uh…
“A shy kid…”
The girl nodded without thinking, her tone full of sympathy. The chat seemed to notice her feelings and began guessing.
【Is the streamer usually a shy girl too?】
【Yeah, if she were outgoing, she probably wouldn’t be a Vtuber, right?】
【But a Vtuber is still a streamer. How could a streamer be very shy?】
【Some people just play that kind of character.】
“Ahem…”
Seeing the chat, Lin Lin quickly shook her head.
No way, I can’t let people know that I’m actually a total social mess who’s terrible at talking to others. No, no, no. That would be way too embarrassing!
Ugh…
I, I, I…
“Actually, I’m pretty popular in real life! I have lots of friends! All kinds of friends! Hehe~ Pretty impressive, right?”
【Streamer seems a bit too confident.】
【Please don’t say things like that, like Ari-chan has lots of little boyfriends.】
【Whoa, so not a ‘girl contacts list,’ right?!】
“Ahem, what are these weird comments? I’m just saying I’m quite popular, that’s all. Dog Bro, keep going! Let me think… a shy kid, she must be pretty lonely at school, right? Hmm… she suddenly feels like an ‘untouchable flower’ kind of person. The cool and distant type?”
【You’re only ‘cool’ if you’re good-looking. If you’re not and still lonely, that’s just sad.】
【Hey, stop adding damage, okay? Are you insulting me? Don’t sleep too deeply tonight!】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Well, my desk mate looks pretty decent. But she’s probably not the cool type. The feeling she gives is… more like a little girl?】
“A little girl?!”
Lin Lin rubbed her chin with interest. A little girl was good, hmm… a strange little girl with no friends.
That kind of person must really want someone to care about her, right? Well, small and cute people often give that kind of first impression~ hehe~
Back when the girl was still a boy, she especially liked this “little girl” type. After all, who doesn’t like someone small and cute?
Even now, just thinking about that kind of cuteness made Lin Lin want to tell Dog Bro, “Please send me the little girl’s WeChat or QQ. Good things will come to you!”
Uh… but it seemed she had already become a girl herself, so asking for WeChat didn’t really make sense anymore?
And she also seemed to… fit the “little girl” look herself.
Hmm…
So.
The girl lowered her head and looked at her short, slim legs, lightly swinging in the air. Her face slowly turned a little red. Then she looked up.
Ah, this…
Alright, stop thinking about it. Change the topic.
She cleared her throat and asked him:
“Well, if that’s the case, Dog Bro, why don’t you try talking to your little-girl desk mate~ She has no friends in class. You could be the first one. Who knows, maybe later—hehe~”
With the spirit of helping a good friend, the girl kept giving advice like a mastermind, while imagining a romantic pairing in her head. “She’ll definitely be very thankful that you want to be her friend. Maybe in the end, she’ll even fall for you~”
Uh…
Listening to the cute but slightly sneaky voice of the little vampire girl on the screen, Gao Liang suddenly felt like he wasn’t talking to a female streamer.
It felt more like a close buddy helping him chase a girl.
【Wow, a female streamer is actually pushing her top supporter away, telling him to find a girlfriend in real life. So touching, wuwuwu!】
【Is this the mindset of a small, unpopular Vtuber? The big streamers I follow with 800k fans aren’t even this open-minded.】
【There are really streamers who tell their number-one supporter to find a girlfriend. So positive! The “Sweet Pears” are smiling proudly.】
【No way, if I become number one later, will Ari-chan use this reason to reject me? Nooo…】
【First, send the streamer a paid gift worth 1 yuan… something without a VIP level!】
Uh…
Huh? Huh huh huh?
Seeing the chat fly by so fast, Lin Lin started to panic.
The main reason was… she realized the chat had thought of things she hadn’t even considered.
Huh, now that they mention it, it’s true. Very few streamers would tell their opposite-sex top supporter to go find a girlfriend.
Most would be happy if the supporter didn’t throw themselves at the streamer. After all, they’re the ones paying.
They bring in money. If they get a girlfriend and are watched closely, the income would probably drop a lot.
They might even realize how nice a real-life girlfriend is, then think online streamers are trash, and just leave. Not worth it.
So…
Uh…
Did she just do something really stupid?
With the chat all saying things like that, Lin Lin started to doubt herself. She felt awkward and didn’t know what to do.
But…
Thinking carefully, she… she only became a streamer because the system required it.
She didn’t really care that much about making money. And Dog Bro wasn’t some huge spender anyway, she just saw him as a friend.
If he’s a friend, is it really necessary to think in such an extreme way?
Just like in daily life, say whatever you want.
Yeah…
Ahem. The girl spoke softly, sounding a little wronged, “I was just giving Dog Bro advice as a friend. Money or not doesn’t matter. I’m happy just chatting with everyone.”
【Alright, alright, we support the streamer!】
【Followed, followed! This made me tear up.】
【So when is Dog Bro going to win over the little girl? Tell us more!】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Ahem… I… I don’t have that kind of thought. And besides, my desk mate… how should I say this… I don’t know why, but it feels like I somehow offended her.】
