Returning Transcendent Opens an Idol Agency

Chapter 174: Aoko Ryuusei – [Just Chatting] Asa doko? Asa koko. (END)

_________

Aoko sighed and said, "Anyway, Project MirAIs has a big event planned for the end of the month." She leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs. Glancing off to the side, she hummed and said, "John's probably supposed to tell you guys, but he's busy right now, so I figured I might as well do it instead."

[worriedhen - *Is that okay?*]

[localwasp - *lol John's probably too busy with his wife*]

[puffyfish - Damned riajuu]

[wonkybug - A big event?]

Aoko laughed. "Yeah, that guy got dragged off to have some loveydovey time. And don't worry, that guy probably just forgot, so it's better that I say something. I mean, next month is only... what, four days away, right?"

[frontcobra - Aoko can do math!]

[sharpseal - Nice. So she's actually got some smarts]

[insightfulpanda - *Technically, it's three*]

[sleepypuppy - *Is John really the right person to manage all of this...?*]

"Hey! I'll have you know that I have a business degree. Math is basic stuff. Besides, I was going to be a manager here before I got roped into being an idol. Stuff like this is easy."

[artsyfox - Ooh, I can see it.]

[loyalhound - But then we wouldn't have our Queen!]

[ladenswallow - *Dammit. Of all times to not be able to change worldlines...*]

[mellowmouse - *So you're saying there's a timeline where Aoko is a hot businesswoman?*]

"I don't know about being a business woman... but I'll say that I look pretty damned good in a suit." Aoko smirked and then she paused, tilting her head. "Hm. Maybe I should ask about getting an outfit change too. Hana and Alfi have their pajamas, so it shouldn't be too hard..."

[composedswift - Queen in a suit?!]

[pinkpiglet - Yes mommy! Please!]

[Queen's_footstool - *Can you step on us when you do?!*]

[whiteshark - *NOW I'M MOTIVATED!*]

Aoko rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. You guys are perverts, I got it. But seriously, keep an eye out. And think about investing in a VR headset or something before the end of the month."

[curiouscobra - VR headset?]

[surprisedorangutan - WAIT! Live 3D VR concert?!]

[droolingsnake - *W-Will we be able to get stepped on in 3D?!*]

[busybear - *Dammit! I gotta work overtime now!*]

Aoko smirked. "It's a secret. And you don't have to, but you'll be missing out if you don't have one later. Just saying." She stretched, causing her coat to shift a bit and reveal her unbuttoned dress shirt.

[whiteowl - O.o]

[observanthound - :nosebleed:]

[starvingartist - Must... draw... more...!]

[ravingcritic - Dammit Queen! You tease!]

Aoko laughed and then reached out to the side. "Enough real talk. Now... time to put you guys to fire."

Clicks echoed and the screen shifted. The miniature floating chat moved back to the left side of the screen. At the same time, the agenda vanished.

"Let me adjust the camera and pull that window up... there."

Aoko moved to the right side of the room. At the same time, a white box floated next to her. At the moment, it was empty, but it wouldn't be for long.

Aoko crossed her arms and said, "Now, you bastards send me some weird shit. But you guys spent money on it, so I'll at least acknowledge it. A good queen accepts and acknowledges her people's offerings, right?"

[lowlystork - Yes!]

[overseasbull - *Supachatto time!*]

[crowdedhippo - *Gogogo!*]

[loyalhound - Queen is too generous!]

Aoko nodded and said, "Here's how this is going to work." She pointed to the floating box and said, "Your Superchats are going to show up here. If they're a load of money, I'll read it out loud and *maybe* do a request. But if they aren't, I'll at least read your name."

[StepOnMeQueen - *You heard that boys?*]

[StraightGarbage - *Wallet locked and loaded!*]

[killerwhale  - Let's go!]

[goldenorca  - I'm ready!]

Aoko glanced at the chat and held up her hand. "Now, don't get too trigger happy. We want to have a long fun time together, so don't blow your load all at once, alright?"

[edgysquirrel - got it!]

[pervertedsnake - *Ooh, so we're doing edging, huh?*]

[attentivebuck - Queen has gotta be doing this on purpose.]

[sillydoe - She knows her people well, obviously]

"Anyway... I'll start with some names first before going onto the big boys." She glanced at the screen and said, "Since you bastards like neglect play that much, you won't mind, right?"

[StepOnMeQueen - *Dammit! We got played!*]

[StraightGarbage - *The risk was calculated, but damn am I bad at math...*]

[goldenorca - uwu]

[killerwhale - ;) :thumbsup:]

"You four goons..." Aoko shook her head and looked at the screen. "Anyway... who do we got?"

A soft 'ding' echoed and a blue superchat appeared in the box.

[uniquewalrus - Ooh!]

[metallicgnat - That's cool!]

[pushygorilla - *Just how much money does John have to do all this...?*]

[returningpenguin - *Forget that, who's setting everything up?*]

Aoko glanced at the chat and sighed. "Honestly, it's better to not think about how John can do all of this. Now..." She looked over at the superchat and said, "Thank you Rick Astley-" She blinked and then rolled her eyes. "Haha, very funny guys. What are you, kids?"

[kookycat - Yes?]

[younglark - High schooler here!]

[childishpredator - *If I say yes, will you be my mommy?*]

[warringrabbit - *No, we're comedians.*]

"...I'm just gonna pretend I never asked. Anyway, next... Thanks, The Ultimate Rule. Thanks silverfox. Thanks mysteriousdarkmask..."

A dozen or so usernames. Blue superchats, yellow superchats... and then a pink one popped up.

Seeing that, Aoko sighed. "Well, looks like it's time for you weirdos."

[culturedkitten - Let's go!]

[roughwombat - We're counting on you lucky bastards!]

[pricklyporposie - *Hey, if we're weirdos what does that make you?*]

[tenaciousdinosaur - :popcorn:]

Aoko looked towards the latest superchat. "Let's see..."

[Cactuz: 69 USD - *What kind of dragon are you?*]

"Thanks, Cactuz. And what kind of dragon am I?"

[unusedibis - *lol*]

[patientcod - *Oooh!*]

[taboomule - *Is Queen gonna get got?*]

[certainrodent - *Oh yeah, it's NNN. ...Dammit. I lost already.*]

Aoko let out a bright smile. Of course, considering her usual expression, it looked completely fake. Still, she kept smiling and said in a cheery voice, "Isn't it obvious? I'm..." Her smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a condescending look. "I'm the sort that drags you around by your balls for trying something like that. You think I was born yesterday, dumbass?"

[taboomule - Dammit!]

[certainrodent - So close!]

[happysnake - Tag: CBT]

[starvingartist - Another tag to add to the list, huh?]

Aoko huffed and swiped her hand, sending the superchat flying. After that, another one popped up.

[Steponmeplssenpai: 420 USD - Pls Aoko, read my name]

"Next... Steponmeplssenpai. 420 U.S. dollars..." She sighed and said, "You guys really have no sense of money, do you? Life's not a game you know. That bank account balance isn't just a number. Don't waste it on a stupid joke like this."

[lankysnipe - *blaze it.*]

[swelteringsnake - *The madlad!*]

[ninjapenguin - Respect, overseas bro.]

[absentturtle - ? Is that number funny?]

Aoko shook her head. "Anyway... I already read your name. So save up your money and buy a gym membership or something. You'll get more value out of that than spending it on me, you know?"

[loyalhound - But Queen is worth every penny!]

[obesegnat - *Got it. So we need to work out more to f with our Queen.*]

[gamytapir - Does Queen like fit guys?]

[meekkitten - *But what if I'm a girl?*]

Aoko rolled her eyes after reading the chat. But a smile was on her face as she did it. "Don't make me whip you into shape-" She paused. "Hold on. That's a good idea." She reached out and grabbed a notepad before writing. "Talk with John about exercise or martial arts streams..."

[lavishpanda - OH!]

[goldfinch - YES PLEASE!]

[obesegnat - *Working out with the Queen! Where do I sign up?!*]

[royalsnake - *Whip me! Whip me hard, Queen!*]

Aoko set the pen and notepad aside before tapping on the next Superchat. "Next up..."

[ogey rrat: 50 USD - I'm going to need you to recite an energy drink commercial for me in your anego voice]

Aoko blinked. "An energy drink commercial? In my anego voice... I mean, sure? You've got a weird kink, but... Let's see. Give me a bit. What was my presentation for that one sales pitch again...?"

[adorablekitten - Ooh! Nice one ogey rrat!]

[stupidtortoise - I'm getting shivers already.]

[disfiguredboa - Queen's royal ASMR when?]

[abhorrenttermite - Wait, Queen learned how to give salespitches?]

"Oh yeah. I think I remember." Aoko cleared her throat and then put on a bright smile. Turning to the camera, she said, "Hey. You tired? Feeling stressed out from work? Drained down to the bone? Well don't worry. Our all-natural Vitamin B infused energy drink with coconut essence and pineapple flavoring will top you back up."

[oldcat - O.o]

[tautgoose - T-That's a perfect voice for a commercial...?]

[givingjaguar - Is Queen secretly the lady who does all those anime grand sponsor messages?!]

[leanant - :melt:]

Aoko looked at the chat and then laughed. "Oh, you want that? Ahem." She smiled and mimed holding up a product. "Kono bangumi wa goran no suponsaa no teikyou de okurishimasu."

[darkcoot - !!!]

[brashostrich - Alright guys. Which Seiyuu is this?]

[wronghippo - Does Queen voice act? She sounds like a Seiyuu...]

[justeel - *Project MirAIs anime when?*]

Aoko laughed again and waved her hands. "Alright. Gotta admit, that was kind of fun... Been a while since I did that sort of thing. But we gotta keep rolling." She glanced off to the side and said, "It's already getting close to 2 PM. Sis has to stream too, so we can't mess around too much."

[sadsquid - Aw.]

[tinytarantula - Oh yeah. Queen woke up late.]

[opiningquail - Queen's responsible after all.]

[violetmole - :nodnod:]

"I'll read two more big ones and then we'll do a speedrun of all the smaller superchats. Next time, I'll make a stream just for superchat reading, alright?"

[opoctopus - Just for superchat reading, you say?]

[lewdlinnet - Perfect! I needed to work overtime anyway!]

[starvingartist - Gah. Looks like I need to open commissions.]

"Alright." Aoko clicked to the next superchat and said, "This one's from a guy called madlad. Hm..."

[madlad: 50 CAD - 1/2 Sorry to bother you, Queen. But your voice sounds really familiar. Do you happen to know an Ethan D.?]

Aoko blinked. "Ethan D.? I mean, I spent some time overseas, so I might know him, but that's kind of vague-" She paused, suddenly widening her eyes. "I-I mean, even if I did, I couldn't tell you."

[shrewferret - O.O]

[miserlypigeon - *Yabe*]

[sharpkangaroo - Careful, Queen!]

[droopiguana - You bastard! Don't ruin things for us!]

She coughed and said, "Moving on... Oh, there's a part two."

[madlad: 50 CAD - 2/2 ETHAN DEEZ NUTZ!]

Aoko froze, her eyes and face blank. And then she jumped out of her chair and glared at the screen. "You goddamn motherf*cking son of a-!"
