nPlay: Colorful Flowers – Tokyo Music Walker

nA new song started up in the background. Soft electric piano, joined by xylophones and a relaxed percussion beat in the background.

nTsubame smiled and then raised her head. “I am unsure of where to begin after introductions… but I hope we can slowly get to know each other.” She walked over to the side, causing the camera to pan and follow her.

nA refined and delicate stride. Placing her hands in her sleeves, Tsubame walked over to a table and then brushed off a chair before sitting down. After that, she smiled and looked into the camera.

nIt panned again, zooming in until it seemed like the person watching the stream was seated right across from Tsubame.

n The waifu vibes are too strong with this one…

n I feel like I’m on a date. But we just met. How?

n I see. So Tsubame is a Prodigy at being girlfriend material…

nTsubame flicked her sleeve, causing a transparent window to appear in front of her. “Let us see… Ah.” She let out a warm smile and said, “I am glad to read that my esteemed viewers are enjoying the experience. Truthfully, I was a bit concerned. I do not have much experience beyond my life as a shrine maiden, so I was afraid that I would be tiring to watch.”

n No way. I could sit like this forever!

n Is this what it’s like to have a girlfriend?

n Such a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere… :melt:

nTsubame raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and laughed. “Why thank you.” She lowered her sleeve and let out a gentle smile. “I am glad to hear that you enjoy my presence. It would be most unfortunate if you did not.”

nRabbit Blob Cookie

nnotacultistbutyes Is turning over to a same person valid? Anyways, superchats don’t accept souls, what do I do?

nlonelywolf I will literally pay for the attention of a girl like you.

ngoldensnake @lonelywolf Not that I disagree, but desperate much?

n“Let us see…” Tsubame tapped on the floating window and then hummed. “Ah. I have taken up quite a bit more time than I expected. As much as I would love to idle my time away with my esteemed viewers, we should go through the basics, no?” She smiled and then said, “After all, if I wish to retain my esteemed viewers, I should make an appeal for your affection, no?”

n YOU HAVE IT!

n Girl, you had me from the moment you started talking.

n Which mountain do I need to climb to meet you? I’ll start now!

nTsubame glanced at the chat and then laughed. “I am afraid that you will be climbing forever. I have left my duties as a shrine maiden for this job so that I may bring some joy into the lives of my esteemed viewers.”

n I suddenly understand the appeal of hostess clubs.

n It’s a lie. It’s a lie, but why do I feel so happy?

n Are you sure you’re not actually the new reincarnation of a goddess?

nTsubame let out a warm smile and then reached into her sleeve. After that, she pulled out a small card and held it up to the camera. “Here you go. This is who I am, my esteemed viewers.”

nThe card flipped up, filling the screen.

n—

nTsubame Akari

nAge: 17

nBirthday: May 6th

nHeight: 165 cm

nJob: Retired Shrine Maiden, Trainee Idol

nAffiliation: Project MirAIs Generation 1 – Prodigy

n—

nTsubame’s voice echoed and she said, “There is not much to tell about my personal information. I am fairly average in height, a year away from majority, and my birthday is the roughly at the start of summer according to the lunar calendar. Of course, you are already aware of my status as both a retired shrine maiden and a trainee idol at Project MirAIs.”

n Damn. Not legal, huh?

n More high schoolers?

n She’s only 17?! But she’s more mature than all the women I know!

nThe card on the screen flipped over, listing a few more items.

n—

nCommunity Information

nStreams – #Akarive

nFanart – #Akart

nFan Name – Esteemed Viewers

nFan Mark – Red Bird

n—

n“Forgive me for going ahead with the community information, my esteemed viewers. But I had quite a bit of fun pondering on the information. However, if there is anything you would like to change, I will amend it as you desire.”

n Love Akarive! It’s punny!

n Looks good to me!

n If you like it, I like it!

n #Akart is kind of lame though.

n Akart seems like a cart instead of Aka Art…

n Maybe something like TsubameArt?

n Yeah, people could get confused.

n Time to draw Tsubame as a cart. XD

n You’re treating us too nice, Tsubame-hime!

n We’re esteemed viewers! Awesome!

nStraightGarbage Totally not jealous at not being called bastards.

nsnoopingpuppy @StraightGarbage Running to other streams to beat Aoko’s bet is cheating.

nStraightGarbage @snoopingpuppyNo one asked you!

n A red bird?

n Oh! Is Tsubame really Suzaku like how Aoko is Seiryuu?

nomniscientowl We’re just missing the turtle and the tiger now…

nTsubame’s laugh echoed and then she said, “My, my. You are all quite active now. But… Yes. I suppose there could be confusion with Akart. Then… For now, let us leave it at TsubameArt like Hana-senpai. We can discuss it more at a later time.”

n Boo. We need something better than that!

n Come on guys! Think of punny names!

nslowsloth Shrine maiden, offerings… OffArt?

nsharpsquirrel @slowsloth Are you stupid? How is of fart better than a cart?

n TsubameCollections?

n SendMegamiPictures?

n …Everyone’s pun game sucks.

nThe card shrank down, moving off to the side of the screen. As it did, it revealed a smiling Tsubame staring back.

n Gah! My heart!

n S-Such intense eye contact…

ndevoutdoggo How to convert to shintoism?

natheistalligator @devoutdoggo It’s just Shinto, idiot. Learn your religions.

n So how many religions do we have in MirAIs now?

n Alfi-sama, Jenny-sama, and now Tsubame-sama…

n Every day, Project MirAIs seems more and more like a cult…

n All hail the holy trinity of goddesses!

n“Now then.” Tsubame spoke up and then leaned on the table, resting her head on her hands. “This will be a bit one-sided, so I hope you do not mind. But I wanted to tell you a bit about myself.”

n No, no. Go ahead.

n I could listen to you all day, Tsubame!

n Not as one-sided as my love for you! Ha. Haha… T_T

n Why can’t all girls be like this?

n If only I had someone like this around…

nprodigious_player Day 1 of asking if Project MirAIs is hiring. I’ll take anything.

n“Where to begin…?” Tsubame tilted her head, thinking. And then she nodded and said, “Well. Shall we start with likes and dislikes? I do not have many of either, but… I suppose if I were to think about what I enjoy, it would be spending time with those I hold dear, like my peers in Project MirAIs. Beyond that, it would have to be dancing, singing, and music.” She laughed and said, “I am afraid I do not have any exciting talents like Kuromi, Miya, or Rhea.”

n Yeah, because your talent’s stealing hearts.

n So this is how shrines get their money, huh?

n A high-level shrine maiden is super formidable…

n“As to what I dislike…” Tsubame frowned and said, “Not much comes to mind other than my overly affectionate foster parents. But that is more akin to irritation than dislike. Well, mixed with a great deal of embarrassment. The amount of laundry and futons that I had to clean in the past…”

n …Oh. So not a pure idol.

n Aaand of course. The shrine maiden knows all about xxx stuff.

n I feel like I’ve read this setup somewhere…

nlewddood Tags: Shrine maiden, public, hotsprings, peeping

n @lewddood I thought you got banned?

nTsubame let out a deep sigh and said, “Love is a wonderful thing in moderation. But in excess… even gentle flames burn when they rise too high.”

nTITOR? :sweat:

nAlfis_Knight Even if our bodies turn to ash from our love, we will rise again!

n So… is this a bad time to offer up our souls?

nTsubame shook her head and then tapped in the air. “Let me see… is there anything left? …Ah. My aspirations.” She nodded and then stared at the chat with a serious expression. “I only have but one. And it is more of a request than an aspiration.”

n Anything!

n We’ll do our best to help out!

n That’s what we’re here for! MirAIs operators ftw!

nShe leaned back, placing her hands on her lap. After that, she bowed her head and said, “Please, stay with me until the end, my esteemed viewers. I may not have much to offer, but I will do my best so that our days together will be filled with joy. And if not… Then let us grow together on this long journey.” She looked up and let out a bright smile. “At the end of it, I hope that we can bid each other farewell with a light heart and cheerful smiles.”

n …HOW DO I THROW MONEY?! HOW!?

n Take it! Take my heart! Take everything!

n HNNNNGH.

n EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!

n Holy crap. Why are there so many top tier waifus in Project MirAIs?

n Tsubame onee-san! Let’s run away and have a happy life together!

n How do I get me a girl as top-tier as Tsubame in my life?

n These girls are all too good for this world. T_T

n Is there a single girl in Project MirAIs who isn’t completely lovable?

n John really out here doing god’s work picking up all these perfect girls and giving them a place to shine.

nTsubame laughed, a happy and carefree sound. After that, she looked to the side and said, “It seems like our time is running short. I do not wish to keep you all too long… My dear friends Miya and Rhea still have yet to debut, after all.”

n But I don’t want you to leave!

n No! Stay a bit longer!

n How do I pay for more time? I haven’t had enough!

nTsubame smiled and said, “Thank you all for your support and kindness, my esteemed viewers. For now… There is still a bit of time left, so I can answer a few questions before I leave you for now. But is there anything you wish to know?”

nlameleopard I’ve got one! Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

n How do you spell your name again? Because I think I blanked out from seeing your smile.

n Hypothetically, if you were Izanami’s reincarnation, would you be fine with cheating on Izanagi with a mortal?
