"What's up with these guys? They're saying something gibberish?"
As I read the comment window, I realized that I don't really understand what these guys are doing. Well, not all of it, at least. I noticed something and voiced my thoughts to Makina.
"Hey, Makina, the one banning the viewers... that's not you, is it? Or am I just imagining things?"
°Yes, you are correct, it is not me. It's the other AI I programmed recently to keep the viewers in check. I gave it the command to ban viewers who disrupt the stream.°
"That explains my gut feeling. But from what I'm seeing, this AI doesn't seem to be banning properly, right?"
°If Loid thinks so, I'll check and reprogram the AI.°
"Thanks, Makina. It's just that this AI is banning too many viewers. Even though some of the comments are irrelevant or gibberish, that's not really a reason to ban them. As a viewer myself, I think it's a bit harsh."
°Aye, I'll go ahead and reprogram the AI.°
"Thanks. By the way, what's the AI's name?"
°It's called Author.°
"Author? That's a weird name."
°It's an abbreviation for its program: 'Automated User Termination and Handling of Offensive Responses.' If it is your dislike, you can change the name.°
"It's definitely a strange name, but I don't dislike it. Keep it as is."
°Understood.°
"Well, that's settled. Makina, turn the audio back on. Looks like the viewers have calmed down, so let's get this stream started, shall we?"
°Aye, turning the audio back on. The viewers will be able to hear you in ten seconds. Good luck.°
"Thanks, Makina. Now then, let the stream begin."
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After ten seconds, while the comment section is still buzzing with chatter about the recent bans, the audio comes back on. My voice is now heard on the other side of the world—literally, as I'm in another world.
"Haha, you viewers always have such interesting topics to discuss. But how about we save that conversation for another time, so I can actually talk to you, my dear guests How does that sound to you all?"
X>Well, we were waiting for you in the first place, so that's fine.
X>Yeah, we're here for you, bro.
X>That's right, so what's up this time? ESP? Mutants? Psychics? Are we in for a good blast or a bad one?
X>Right, man, what kind of news do you have for us this time?
X>What's now? Etc.
As I cleared my throat, I tried to ensure that my words would land exactly as I intended. With a steady voice, I spoke:
"For now, let me announce the purpose of this stream—or rather, the objectives. First off, as you guys might remember, the gods of this world are trying to take refuge in our world. This is because of an upcoming war that will happen in the near future. Although the gods haven't given specific details, it's certain that this war is inevitable. Our perception of time, compared to that of the gods, is not only different but vastly different."
X>That's certain, no doubt about it.
X>Well, don't assume things! They are gods, after all. I mean, I'm betting yes, but let's not jump to conclusions.
X>One thing I'm sure of: those guys live way longer than any of us. That's something I'm certain of.
X>Seconded.
X>Thirded.
X>Etc.
I chuckled at the flood of opinions and continued,
"Haha, yes, without a doubt. Now, moving on—this stream will focus on studying all aspects of this other world, Mystica. We'll dive into history, geography, education, biology, society, commerce, science, etc. and even magic, which we still know little about but will need to understand."
"Think of this stream as a sort of news documentary exploring every possible detail about our neighbor, the other world, Mystica."
X>Oh, a documentary stream? If this were any ordinary documentary, I'd be out. But given the subject? I'm staying.
X>Seconded.
X>Thirded.
X>That's right, if this wasn't your stream, I'd have left to watch Vtuber Idol already. Well, I still might after this, though.
X>Seconded.
X>Thirded.
X>Etc.
"Well, don't be like that! I assure you, what you'll learn from this documentary will prove helpful. The people of this world are going to come to ours for refuge, so we need to know how to interact with them properly."
X>Now that you mention it, you're right. This could be the first real chance for our world to perform diplomacy with another world. It's not even an exaggeration—what we're doing is history.
X>Second witness, salute.
X>Third witness, salute.
X>Fourth witness, salute.
Seeing the comment section turn serious, I couldn't help but smile wryly. The atmosphere had become quite heavy, but with a deep breath and determination, I pressed on.
"Haha, I won't deny that. As the first person to arrive in this world, it's my responsibility to explore the possibilities of diplomacy. And you, my dear viewers, will be walking that path alongside me. With that, let me introduce you to the one who will help guide us as we take our first steps toward this venture—a guest who will show us how to better interact with the people of this other world."
X>Hey, dude, is that a bit abrupt? We're not ready for diplomacy!
X>Right? We're going too fast! Give us some prep time, bro!
X>Wait, let me open up my search engine for some background first!
X>Come on, give us more time to prepare! This is serious stuff!
"Sorry, everyone, but our guest of honor can't wait—more like shouldn't wait. I introduce to you the goddess who governs and rules over souls and spirits, the guardian and giver of wills, and one of the nine gods who created this other world."
X>bro, this matter is not we could hadle bro, that to much of a bigshot
X>Bro, this is way above our capacity. We can't handle this!
X>Master Loid, break time! We need a minute to prep, please!
X>Etc. pleas.
"The Soul Goddess, Aksa."
As soon as I said her name, my character model vanished from the screen. The background shifted, revealing a new figure—an ethereal maiden with hair as white as clouds, so soft it seemed the clouds themselves had formed her hair. Her porcelain skin glowed with a purity that only someone who governs souls could possess. Her eyes, white with a hint of vibrant yellow, gleamed as if they could see through every soul before her, carrying the weight of her divine authority.
On-screen, the viewers couldn't help but feel exposed, as though they were being seen not in body, but as bare souls under the gaze of the goddess. It was like being interviewed without words, laid completely bare. The eerie sensation of being stripped of all their worldly identities, possessions, and desires filled them with unease.
The chat, which had been filled with nervous jokes and pleads for a break, fell silent. The viewers, trembling inwardly, dared not speak out. They tried desperately to maintain a semblance of calm, hoping to suppress their egos, their material wants, and their selfishness in the presence of this powerful deity.
Just as I had hoped, everything was playing out perfectly. Watching the state of the comment window, I could almost picture their faces—their discomfort, their hesitation, their awe—as they faced Aksa for the first time. Inwardly, I smiled. This was exactly how I wanted it to unfold.
