The Villainess VTuber Tears People Apart

“Agh! So frustrating!”

Shina yelled as she climbed down from Sora’s back.

“Oh my, have you come back to your senses?”

“Senses? I’ve always been in my right mind!”

As she spoke, Shina was tightly hugging Sora’s waist.

“My body is moving on its own! Aaaah!!!”

“Hmm.”

It seemed that she wasn’t in “younger sister mode” 24/7.

Still, losing control of one’s body from time to time was undoubtedly a significant risk. It must be exhausting.

“Sora, you’ve also become slightly younger than usual.”

“Yeah…”

Sora lowered her head, looking somewhat apologetic.

Was this Stage 1 of Mental Corruption? From appearances alone, she looked like a high school student.

‘No need for an explanation. I can already tell what’s going on.’

Just like how Son Narin and I had started the game in the same location, it seemed Sora and Shina had been paired together.

They must have worked hard, cooperating to escape the room, but along the way, it seemed they got quite a few things wrong.

“Mental Corruption Cleaner!”

Shina, who was gradually turning into everyone’s younger sister, suddenly shouted.

“Mental Corruption Cleaner! If we just have that, we can go back to normal!”

“Ah, you mean that spray.”

Back in the tutorial, Kaiser had sprayed it on us.

While I didn’t know the exact effects, it was clearly an item that restored mental corruption. The fact that such an item was shown in the first place meant it was likely somewhere on this map.

However,

“Isn’t staying in that state way more advantageous?”

“Hey! Laura unnie, did you really just say that?!”

Thump thump!

Shina approached me and began tapping my stomach with her tiny fists.

She seemed intent on expressing her anger, but no matter how you looked at it, she came off as nothing more than a little kid.

A pitiable existence, completely devoid of any dignity befitting a senior.

[Live Broadcast] Why is the answer 1321049?

【Do not run in the hospital.

If you feel nauseous, do not take antacids without a prescription.

Do not throw objects at doctors or nurses, even if you’re angry at their words or actions.

If you have high blood pressure, avoid getting too tense.

Circumcision is a personal choice.

We are all one.】

Even an A-Grade Virgin got it right immediately, but I can’t figure out why it’s 1321049…

[Comments]

– “Do not run in the hospital” (one)

ㄴ “If you feel nauseous” (three) / “Do not throw objects” (two) / “Tension” (ten) / “Circumcision” (four) / “We are one” (nine)

ㄴ 1 3 2 10 4 9

ㄴ (Author) What the heck, how is anyone supposed to figure that out lolol

– How did Aurora even figure this out?

ㄴ “She’s the perfect mix of brains and brawn.”

ㄴ Probably influenced by Chel.

ㄴ Chel is known for her puns.

ㄴ Why is Chel catching strays here lolol

[General] This game is absolutely absurd

Turning normal people into younger sisters—how can a game trample on human dignity like this?

Stripping away one’s free will and having an AI manipulate avatars—can this even be called a game? It’s not even remotely game-like.

If Kaiser, the host, just wanted to watch people turn into younger sisters, wouldn’t it have been more entertaining to cast only men? There are plenty of male VTubers competing in the Fantasy League, after all.

Participants are no different. If this is a room escape game, shouldn’t they be playing more cautiously? Acting recklessly, they’ve regressed into such a state of infantilism?

The name “Mashina” would cry in shame. If Mashina has been affected by mental corruption, shouldn’t she quietly stay put instead of clinging to others? I just can’t understand her.

And Ayanokouji Sora? If calling someone “unnie” is so embarrassing, she should at least think carefully before speaking. She’s such a careless woman.

Pretending to be sisters when they’re not even blood-related? Truly, such vulgar women.

[Comments]

– Nekozuka-san, are you slacking off during work?

– Hurry up and clock out, lolol.

– If Rion’s feeling threatened at work, big thumbs up, lolol.

– As an Inagika supporter, I agree—Laura shouldn’t play games like this; she should just stick to Sanrabi.

ㄴ True, as an Ainatsu fan, I think Laura should just release more voice content.

ㄴ Chellezlez vibes…

“Hmm…? Is this the archive room?”

When I opened the door, a room lined with books and documents greeted me.

There was a chair nearby, so I took a seat.

Having used my brilliant mind to solve several puzzles, it was now someone else’s turn to handle the menial investigations.

As I waited for Son Narin and Sora to search for clues, I felt a weight settle on my lap.

“Hehe…”

Mashina (the Nation’s Little Sister) had plopped herself onto my lap.

“Oh my, sitting on the lap of a noblewoman like me? How rude.”

“Rude? What does that even mean~?”

“It means you’re being impolite. Now, get down. It’s uncomfortable.”

“No way! Only Laura unnie gets to sit in a chair? That’s unfair! My legs hurt too!”

“Hmm.”

She had started referring to herself in the third person. Was she trying to be cute?

Honestly, I was starting to get annoyed. Truthfully, I’ve never been fond of children.

Perhaps it’s because I’m a villainous noblewoman.

I enjoy animals like dogs, cats, snakes, and spiders, but for some reason, I find it hard to like children.

“Do as you wish. Sora, don’t mind us and keep investigating the room.”

“Oh, uh… okay.”

Sora, who had been glancing warily at Shina perched on my lap, eventually retreated.

While I don’t particularly like children, I do find Mashina as a person rather amusing.

Maybe that’s also because I’m a villainous noblewoman. Her constant misfortunes and haplessness never fail to entertain me.

This time was no exception.

Right now, Mashina was clinging to me not of her own will but because the AI was controlling her avatar as it pleased.

Later, when the broadcast ends and she’s lying in bed, I can already imagine her kicking off her blankets in embarrassment. She might even kick so much that she tumbles off the bed.

Imagining Shina cringing at her blacked-out memories made me chuckle involuntarily.

With Shina sitting on my lap, I waited for Sora and Son Narin to continue their investigation, reflecting on this strange game.

‘What a peculiar game.’

We’d solved numerous puzzles and gimmicks to get this far, yet it didn’t feel like we were making progress.

That was likely because the concept changed every time we passed through a door.

First, it was a hospital, then an abandoned factory, and after navigating various maps, we’d now arrived at the archive room.

There was no consistency in the maps.

This lack of consistency was probably the core of the game, yet it also made it impossible to calculate when we might escape.

‘If this were a normal room escape game, it would be clearer.’

For instance, escaping the 10th floor would bring you to the 9th, then the 8th, until you finally reach the 1st floor and exit.

Or escaping the attic would lead you to a study, then a hallway, then a staircase, and finally the living room. From there, you’d know the front door was the goal.

Most escape games subtly guide players toward the “goal point,” allowing them to sense their progress.

In this game, however, the map changed constantly, making it impossible to discern how close we were to the goal.

‘Perhaps that’s intentional.’

Maybe it’s a game where you’re not supposed to figure out the goal point.

That thought crossed my mind.

Come to think of it, this wasn’t just a simple room escape game.

It was a “monster game,” the kind where you had to deal with creatures straight out of something like the XXP Foundation’s stories.

The solution might not be simply escaping but overcoming the monsters themselves.

“Laura unnie! I, uh… I found something in the archive room that looks like a clue.”

As I contemplated various possibilities, Sora approached me with some documents.

I took the documents from her and read them.

【# Apocalyptic Lifeform Management Record 001

Entity Name: ■■■

Management Level: Yellow (Level 3)

Affiliation: Friendly

– Managing this lifeform presents clear risks of physical harm or mental instability.

– It is highly unlikely to cause fatal harm as it is friendly toward humans.

– It is an amorphous lifeform but often takes human form out of a desire to resemble humans.

– It longs for family. To fulfill this desire, it appears to turn others into younger sisters.】

“Hmm.”

Finally, a clue about the monster. Though it didn’t seem like particularly groundbreaking information, it was worth remembering.

I handed the documents back to Sora, thinking they’d be more useful with her. I had a good memory, so keeping them with me would only be inconvenient.

“Any other clues?”

“Doesn’t seem like it…”

“Guess we’ll just have to keep going.”

Son Narin soon discovered a staircase leading underground.

With no other options, I led Sora and Shina down the stairs.

“Hold! Hold my hand!”

Shina kept pestering me, so I made a show of holding her hand.

I wondered how embarrassed she would feel when she regained her senses later. Would she die of shame? The thought slightly worried me.

We arrived in the basement.

It appeared to be a party room, though it seemed abandoned long ago. Decorations were torn down, the lights were broken, and shattered glass littered the floor.

“This place is quite spacious. It’ll take time to investigate.”

Of course, I had no intention of investigating myself.

─Or so I thought until I realized something odd.

“Hmm?”

The hand I had been holding felt unusually light.

Naturally so, as I wasn’t holding anything at all.

Looking around, I noticed not only Shina but also Sora and Narin had vanished.

【The monster is watching you.】

【Overcome the liar.】

Oh my.

***

“So, this must be the party room!”

Son Narin exclaimed energetically.

If she was uncertain, her go-to habit was to raise the tension.

After all, a cheerful voice made others perceive her as bright and optimistic.

If she could uplift others, wasn’t that enough?

No matter what her inner thoughts might be.

Smiling brightly, Son Narin turned to look behind her.

“Huh? Laura?”

She tilted her head in confusion.

When she looked back, Aurora was standing there holding Shina’s hand.

However, Aurora seemed distracted, glancing around as if something puzzled her.

No, it felt slightly different.

It wasn’t the surroundings she was interested in—it was the “people around her.”

“Yes. This must be the party room.”

At that moment, Laura patted Shina’s head as if she were a child.

“I’ll stay here with Shina. You two go and investigate.”

Hmm?
