Vol 1 Chapter 39 – Ego Search【Vol 1 – Turning Point】

I went home, slept, and morning came again. Yesterday, both Michi Mama and I drank alcohol, so we didn’t broadcast. Because of that, by morning, the view counts on our past broadcasts had doubled.

The comments had increased as well.

Rina＠Gal: On days when Rin-kun isn’t broadcasting, it’s just unbearable.

Gin: Rin-kun’s singing voice is my energy.

Dedede: I listen even while working.

Mike: Rin-kun! I’m waiting for your broadcast!

HatsuBread: I won’t give up on performing classical music in my acoustic set!

Babba: That’s what the violin is for.

Babba: Already got stuck?

Babba: The problem is that with those little hands, it doesn’t seem like you can play the piano.

Babba: I love Chai!

Babba: They’re so tiny—Rin-kun’s little hands.

Babba: Waa!? Gwaa!?

Babba: Your hands are adorable! I love them!

The comment section is filled with the usual crew. Everyone is waiting for my broadcast. And I suspect the viewers will also be happy about the album release. So I must not slack on the preparations. After all, we are the original Akihaba family.

Also, we’ve settled on a circle name. The music circle created by Ryu, me, and the viewers is called 『RR & ClassicBand』. The one most excited about the name was Chai; he said, “We can rock as a band now!”

The Akihaba Pirate Crew remains as it is. And as an umbrella circle, the Akihaba Music Corps has been formed. Although, in reality, it’s just me teaming up with Ryu and Sadakuni.

Furthermore, I’m actually working on a song now—a song of gratitude dedicated to all the viewers. I feel like I only sing about gratitude. But it can’t be helped; ever since my life changed, it’s been overflowing with gratitude. My life before that was gray to me. So, gratitude is the only thing that’s vibrant. So far, the only color I can put into my song is gratitude.

And I check 7ch too. Lately, there have been many fan threads and lots of support, so I make sure to keep up with them.

What the hell is with this guy? He’s making money by faking his gender. What a piece of crap.

No, he isn’t. Just watch the entire archive! His voice sounds like a girl’s and his appearance is feminine, so some viewers mistakenly think he is a girl.

Besides, Rin-kun’s appeal isn’t just that! That kid is a genius—a prodigy of sound. First, go watch his videos!

His singing is superb, his voice is adorable, and his personality is cute. We don’t give a damn about gender anymore! Oh, by the way, I’m Team Rin-kun! Even if he’s a guy, I’m all for Dankon-chan!

I thought his little hands were cute, like those of a young girl.

But I also think he’s too good with the violin. So Rin-kun is a violinist, then?

657

So I can see Rin-kun’s little hands again!? I’m off to check it out right now.

You’re probably shocked right now… realizing that Rin-kun isn’t actually a violinist.

That figures… after all, once you hand Rin-kun any instrument, he immediately masters it.

It brings back memories; I used to be an anti-fan like >>654 back in the day. But then I was struck by a full moon in my ears…

Rin-kun with a guitar!? A guitar, what!? And he’s insanely good!

663

Did you know that the first instrument Rin-kun ever touched was a guitar? His musical sense is so sharp that he can master any instrument…

Truly, he’s a genius of sound. His singing is superb.

But the piano? That’s out of the question… his little hands are just too tiny.

Today, there were a few anti-fans. But that’s not the real issue. What’s being said, both here and elsewhere, is that his hands are small. This is truly regrettable. They might indeed be small, but does everyone really have to point it out…?

I’ve decided to go to Ryu’s house again. Of course, Ryu’s house has a piano—a grand piano. Everyone thinks I can’t play the piano, so I’ll learn and surprise them.

“Mama! I want to go to Ryu’s house again!”

“Really!? I’m sure they’ll be delighted!”

Since Michiru said so, I gathered my courage and sent a DM to Ryu asking if I could visit his house.

I received a reply three minutes later—a swift, enthusiastic yes. I was told, “Come by anytime,” so I decided to visit Ryu’s house that very morning.
