Chapter 1: Without Further Ado, I Want to Inform That I Joined the Agency as a Manager to Support a Vtuber, but Somehow I Ended up Becoming the Face of the Company as an Official Staff Member?

The studio lights felt awfully bright.

“We’re starting the shoot now!”

The filming camera set up in front of me turned its gaze my way.

“…How did it come to this, I wonder?”

Wasn’t I originally hired by this company as a manager?

“What are you doing, Sazanami-san? Don’t just space out. Keep the program moving, okay?”

Beside me, my former assigned talent called out teasingly.

“Is this really okay…? We just had a major scandal the other day…”

“Oh, come on! Akari-kun, you worry too much! You’re an important part of our team too, so just do whatever feels right!”

Another popular talent from our agency gave me that enthusiastic encouragement.

“R-right… I got it…”

Nervous, I took a deep breath.

“Let’s do this.”

“Okay! Going live in 3… 2…”

As the shoot began, I prepared myself to give the title call to the viewers who would be watching the edited video later.

“With this, we’re going to interview our new hire, Akari Sazanami! Refusing to answer an idol’s question…? That’s just not possible, is it!? …Wait a second, why am I the one doing the title call!?”

This was the modest story of my life—as someone who wanted to support VTuber talents as a manager, but somehow ended up becoming the public face of the company as an official staff member.

…Yeah, no. Let’s drop the whole “story of my life” thing. I can already feel the self-loathing starting to creep in halfway through.
