It seems this is all part of Aurora’s magic performance. After striking a courtesy pose, Aurora raised her hand to the sky and snapped her fingers again, causing all the lights I had turned on to illuminate once more. The computer screen came to life, and the streaming display appeared without issue. The comments section was abuzz with excitement over the spectacle.
Oops, I need to keep things moving… while grilling the meat!
“Alright! Kicking off the fashion show is Aurora, showcasing her self-selected Gothic Lolita attire!”
“Aurora-chan is adorable!”
“That was surprising, lol.”
“When the lights went out, the spotlight lit up, and Aurora stepped out. I don’t even know how to describe this.”
“I’ve never heard of magic that manipulates light to turn it off…?”
“She really suits Gothic Lolita!”
“Hey, George! Let me send a superchat!”
“Oh, crap.”
Oh yeah, someone mentioned that before. I completely forgot with all the Red Rat Snake commotion. Let’s see… settings, settings… Man, I never looked much into superchats because I wasn’t that interested, but there’s a lot to it. Requirements: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. Back when I was a guy, I didn’t even have 10 subscribers, but ever since becoming an elf, my numbers skyrocketed… and I easily qualified.
“Alright, it’s set up now. But remember, spend responsibly—”
“<Nekko-C> ¥50,000”
“<Masked Rider> ¥3,800”
“<Ultra-no-Oi-Oi> ¥1,000”
“Who throws the max amount right off the bat?”
“Nekko-C, lol.”
“That’s too much…”
The superchats kept flooding in at an incredible pace. Do these people not hesitate when sending such large amounts?
I want to say something, but Aurora’s fashion show is in full swing. I can’t disrupt it. Aurora, on the other hand—
“♪”
“What’s with that edgy pose!?”
“Do adventurers strike poses like that when casting spells?”
“A rare few do.”
She was enthusiastically striking a pose. Something like “My cursed eye throbs with power”—where does she even get these ideas? That said, the audience seems to love it. Comments and superchats are exploding. Hmm, Aurora just signaled me. Looks like she’s changing outfits.
“Alright, now we’ll have the model change into the next outfit!”
“There’s a costume change segment, lol.”
“Well, she’s solo, so it’s to be expected.”
“Doesn’t Aurora have a quick-change spell?”
“—”
“She doesn’t, apparently. Oh? She’s researching one?”
She disappeared into the tent again. Until she changes into the next outfit, I’ll need to keep things going. Reading comments, grilling cartoonish meat, hosting—it feels like I’m doing a lot! Damn it! Not much point realizing this now, so I’ll just roll with it and do it all!
“That was a lovely outfit, wasn’t it? Fun fact: that was the first piece of clothing Aurora picked out herself, apart from her casual wear.”
“Will she wear her casual clothes?”
“I’m curious about her casual wear.”
“Her casual wear will probably debut in a regular stream after the camping trip. I mean, walking a runway in sweats would be… yeah.”
“Sweats on the runway would definitely feel out of place, lol.”
“Oh, it looks like she’s ready. Aurora! That light-dimming magic was amazing, but don’t do it again—it’s dangerous! Especially for me!”
“That’s a serious plea, lol.”
“He’s working with fire, after all.”
I’m glad she understood. That magic is genuinely dangerous. Even though I can see better in the dark since becoming an elf, invisible flames are still terrifying! But now that she’s done with that, I wonder how Aurora will make her next entrance. Knowing her, it’ll be something magical.
“And now, Aurora, the stage is yours!”
Aurora appeared. No, I didn’t skip over the description—she really just appeared in front of the camera without any warning. Her current outfit is one of the gifts from a viewer: a red mermaid dress.
It’s fascinating. In the Gothic Lolita outfit earlier, Aurora had a lively, youthful vibe. But now, in this dress, she exudes a mature, sophisticated aura. The contrast is so striking that it left me momentarily breathless.
“—”
A voice resonated in my head—familiar, yet different from Aurora’s usual playful tone. It felt more commanding, like “Awaken,” rather than her typical “Wake up!”
“Oh, uh, my apologies! Ahem, this outfit was gifted by a viewer with the username Coffee Milk!”
“Wait, that’s Aurora!?”
“She’s so regal.”
“She looks like a queen.”
“OMG! Thank you for wearing it! <Coffee Milk>”
“The sender is here, lol.”
“Of course they’re watching.”
“Oh, thank you, Coffee Milk! I read the letter you included—it mentioned this dress was handmade. As you can see, Aurora loves it!”
The letter mentioned something about it being “clumsily made,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When I saw the dress, I thought, “Should I be paying for this?” Clearly, the viewers share my sentiment.
“Handmade!?”
“This looks like it’s store-quality, lol.”
“Thank you so much! <Coffee Milk>”
No, seriously, the thanks are all mine. Aurora, how long are you going to keep up this regal act? Will you go back to normal once you take off the dress?
