The Story About How I Was Fired From My Company and Then Picked up by a Possessive Streamer With Over 5 Million Subscribers - Chapter 46

The day I left Brittia and joined Able, only a few days had passed since then.

It seemed that not much time had passed for the public to recognize it, but with the efforts led by Kanna-san and others in various promotions, people gradually began to take notice.

I always admired celebrities and idols who appeared on screen.

They inspired people and shone brightly on stage… I wanted to be like them.

But as time went on, I came to understand that someone as ordinary as me didn’t have the talent to make that dream a reality.

So, at the very least, I wanted to support people like them. I wanted to create and provide interesting and enjoyable things for the world. That’s why I joined AO Brittia.

At first, I thought I was enjoying my work. But… when I looked around, I saw only people who had no pride or passion for their jobs.

There were so many people who just came on to me.

I may have started to feel disappointed from that point onward. And from those feelings, my sharp tongue was born.

I didn’t want to talk to people like that. I couldn’t stand to have conversations with people who had no dreams or hopes.

I didn’t care if they called me a sharp-tongued witch. That’s how I felt at the time.

Then, as if by fate, I met him as my training supervisor.

At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary, unremarkable person… That was my initial impression of him.

So, I thought he was just like the others. I assumed he would eventually target me, too.

But contrary to my expectations, he—my senior—faced me and my dream sincerely.

At first, he seemed timid and deflated every time I said something, but as I shared my dreams with him, he began to take me seriously and worked hard to understand me.

I was happy. For the first time since joining the company, someone didn’t just look at my appearance but truly saw my dreams… my real self.

I wanted to learn under him. I wanted to create a world full of inspiration alongside him… But just when I felt that way, he left.

At that time, my sharp tongue, which had almost become a habit, disappeared. The overwhelming sense of loss and despair was too much to bear.

At the same time, the attacks from the Emperor Group began, cutting our work.

One by one, the things I wanted to do were taken away. My dreams, my sense of purpose… and then, even my senior was gone. To me, the company became nothing less than hell.

“Yuna-chan! Could you help out here for a moment?”

“Oh, yes! I’m coming!”

So, when I reunited with him, when he pulled me out of that place, I was truly overjoyed. I even cried a little because of it.

Now, the senior standing before me… even though he works behind the scenes supporting us, that doesn’t matter to me.

Even when I lashed out at him, just like before, he faced me and supported me.

He brought back the things I’d lost. My dream, my purpose… such precious and irreplaceable things.

“Huh? What’s up, Yuna-chan? You look so happy.”

“Eh? Really? It’s probably just your imagination, senior. Maybe your eyesight’s getting worse?”

“Give me a break. I don’t want to deal with presbyopia just yet.”

“…Pfft.”

Why is it, I wonder? Talking to him—my senior—is so much fun.

What is this feeling? We’re not even talking about work, just having ordinary conversations.

When I talk with him, I feel so happy, so joyful.

“By the way, senior. I heard something interesting from Sayaka-chan.”

“Hm? What is it?”

“…You used to be a YouTuber, didn’t you?”

“Eh!? N-no way… Did she tell you that?”

“Yep. I asked her to tell me more about you, senior, and she told me all about Aiji.”

“…W-why does it feel so embarrassing when you’re the one saying that?”

…Hmph.

“…Aiji-se~nior♪”

“St-stop it…! That’s a dark chapter of my life!”

“Eh-hehe~ I learned something interesting♪ Haha.”

“Ah… Yuna-chan, of all people, now knows about it.”

“Huh? Are you saying you didn’t want me to know?”

“Well, I mean… I feel like I’m losing my dignity as a senior.”

“You never had that to begin with, so it’s fine.”

“Isn’t that kind of mean!?”

“Fufu, hahaha!”

Ah, why is this so much fun? This fluttering in my chest, this feeling I’ve never experienced before… I don’t understand it yet.

“Se~nior!”

“W-what…?”

I’m sure… if I stay by his side, I’ll find out someday.

The more I think about it, the brighter the future seems.

“From now on, please take care of me, okay?”

—My dream hasn’t changed even now.

I want to bring joy and inspiration to many people through the screen.

And someday… senior, I want to walk proudly by your side.
