The so-called virtual anchor is actually very easy to understand, which refers to the anchor who uses the virtual image to carry out posting activities on video websites. The basis of this definition can be traced back to Hatsune Miku, the most well-known virtual singer in Japan and the world.

However, Hatsune Miku is more of a pure virtual electronic singer, and the purpose of being launched at the beginning was only to promote VOCALOID, an electronic music production speech synthesis software.

The reason why Hatsune Miku's later popularity is so high, in addition to the character design and those early brainwashing songs, is due to the excellent tracks created by many P masters.

P master is the abbreviation of Producer, which refers to a music producer who uses VOCALOID to create songs.

But virtual streamers are a little different.

They are a team or an individual, with original virtual personality settings and images, and carry out activities on major video networks and social networks. Most of the characters appear as MMD, 3D models of Unity3D, and 2D models created by Live2D, and are voiced by real voice actors, but the information of voice actors is generally not disclosed.

MMD is a free software for making 3D models of characters such as Hatsune Miku; Unity3D is free and open-source software that has a lot of users in both this world and the previous world, and is widely used by various small and medium-sized game companies. Live2D, on the other hand, is quite surprising to those who see it for the first time, it is clearly a 2D style, but it looks like a magical technology with a 3D effect. However, in Jiang Yu's impression, he has only seen game manufacturers apply this technology on various galgames adapted from the original work.

However, it is true that for giant game companies, for the game industry that pays attention to sandboxes, open worlds and degrees of freedom, and for the current situation of a society where VR technology is gradually maturing, 2D games are really not as wide as 3D games.

Straight to the point. The virtual anchor appeared quite early, but it has always been tepid. Of course, under the promotion of well-intentioned people, there have been signs of big companies meddling in this industry recently, and YouTube is just one of them.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about virtual anchors is that the voice actor's personality may not match the set role. This is in the special form of expression of the virtual anchor, which makes the characters' words and deeds consciously or unintentionally do not conform to the appearance or setting, creating a cute feeling similar to the contrast and cuteness.

This may be one of the main reasons why virtual streamers have become increasingly popular recently.

After carefully browsing the content on the website from beginning to end, the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter - although Jiang Yu explicitly forbade her from getting involved in the live broadcast industry, and she herself knew that her family would never agree to her doing so, but Xiao Bury, who was quite interested in this aspect, had never let go of this idea, but just hid it in the depths of her mind.

Now, with YouTube's virtual streamer training program, the idea is becoming clear and concrete.

Maybe ...... like that?

Her eyes were staring directly at the screen, but the hamster girl's mind had already drifted to the Nine Heavens.

……

The next afternoon, Chiba, Narita Airport.

Walking out of the tram station by escalator, Jiang Yu looked at the crowded hall, and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Bury's shoulder with one hand, causing the girl to look at her inexplicably.

He quickly let go of his hand, coughed dryly twice, and explained with some embarrassment: "I have seen too many people, so I ......"

I'm worried you'll run around.

The smart girl naturally read the unfinished meaning of Jiang Yu's words, but she didn't have any good emotions about it. After rolling his eyes, Xiao Bury pouted and said, "Brother, you are really- really——! Don't treat people like children all the time?! ”

Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to show that it was his fault. But in fact, he was a little dissatisfied with his sister's words.

Whoever has lived with you for half a year will hardly see you as a mature adult, right? It's better to say that it's quite like a coquettish and unreasonable child?

Of course, he wisely did not say this sentence in his heart.

Seeing this, Rita couldn't help but smile, covered her mouth and said, "The relationship between your brothers and sisters is really good~~"

Mahaku nodded in agreement and agreed, "Very good." ”

"Really?" Jiang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then said rather indifferently, "I think this is just the way brothers and sisters get along with each other." ”

Hearing Jiang Yu's answer, Xiao Bury couldn't help but glance at his brother, and after snorting lightly, he showed a somewhat angry expression, and turned his head away.

When Rita saw this scene, the smile on her face was even worse, and she said teasingly: "Look, Xiao Bury also agrees with my words~~"

"I, I...... I didn't ...... Hmmm......"

Xiao Bury hurriedly spoke up when he heard this, wanting to explain. But after squeaking for a long time, he didn't even say a word that was formed.

"Yes~Yes~ We are brothers and sisters with an enviable relationship with each other, right?" Jiang Yu had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic, and after saying a few perfunctory words, he got back to the point, "Rita, don't you have to check in your luggage?" Besides, I have to meet Uncle Shiina. Besides...... It's not like we're going to stay here, is it? ”

Jiang Yu glanced around the airport hall with a helpless gaze. It was then that he realized a fact that he had completely ignored before, or rather, a fact that had become strange because they had spent too much time with each other.

- The three girls beside him, regardless of their personality and appearance, are all genuine beautiful girls.

Rita naturally felt the attention of the surroundings, chuckled, pulled Mashiro Mashiro and walked around, and said at the same time: "As for luggage, don't worry, I have hired someone to send it to the airport yesterday, and the rest is just a little thing that you can take with you on the plane." As for Uncle Shiina...... He should be waiting in the international departure hall right now. ”

Jiang Yu nodded, pressed Xiao Buried's head, who was looking around, and glared at her sternly, and finally calmed down the girl who was inexplicably excited. Then the two naturally followed Rita's steps and walked outside the building.

This is Building 2, the departure hall for international flights, and Building 3 is not far away.

After a short time, the four of them passed through the long walkway and climbed an escalator to their final destination today.

Along the way, Rita pulled Mahaku, talking and laughing, and couldn't see the slightest parting.

As he walked into the hall, Jiang Yu cautiously looked at the crowd around him, trying to find a figure who looked like Shiina's father.

But it's a pity that he's not good at this kind of thing, except for making himself a little dizzy, he hasn't even gained anything.

Rita took out her mobile phone and looked at it a few times, then looked up at the sign, and after a moment of silence, she turned her head to look at Jiang Yu and said, "I need to go and get the ticket first, please take care of Zhenbai Yujun." ”

Jiang Yu nodded, and said without surprise: "No problem." ”

This was a scene he had anticipated before he came here. And to be honest, it's hard for him to imagine what would happen to throw Mahaku alone in the crowd, or something that would make people laugh and cry.

Hearing this, Rita stretched out a white and flawless palm, the corners of her lips were slightly curled, and she looked at Jiang Yu with a smile on her face.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a while, but still stretched out a hand and lightly slapped his hands with the other party.

"Thank you for your hard work~~"

Rita winked at Jiang Yu, and after throwing down such a sentence with a meaningful face, she turned around and walked towards the ticket counter.

Before Jiang Yu could understand what the blonde girl's expression meant, he heard a flat voice without emotion sounding beside him: "Dad." ”

Sound Sample...... Voice comparison ...... Matching...... The results of the calculations are coming soon...... Here are the results......

What kind of AI meme am I playing?! ╯︵┻━┻

Jiang Yu's heart tightened, and he turned his head a little tremblingly, and immediately found the figure of the middle-aged man next to Zhenbai.

The man was dressed in a calm color suit, standing there with a paper cup filled with coffee in his hand, and his face looked to be in his forties. Sturdy physique, with the style of a mature man.

What made Jiang Yu a little frightened was that the other party's expression was stiff, his brows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be displeased.

Fortunately, in the next moment, the bitter and hateful expression on Zhenbai's father's face became slightly softer due to Zhenbai's call.

He nodded to his daughter, then looked at Jiang Yu and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Yu, this is the first time we have met, right?" ”

Jiang Yu scratched his cheeks, nodded a little restrainedly, took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, looked directly at the other side, and said respectfully: "It is indeed the first time we have met, and I greet you Uncle Shiina on behalf of my father." ”

"Uncle Shiina is good~~"

Xiao Bury was also on the side, and with impeccable etiquette, he said a greeting.

"Ahh Jiang Yu hurriedly added, "This is buried in the soil of the sister." ”

Mahaku's father nodded to Xiao Bury again, which was considered to have said hello. Seeing this, Xiao Bury lowered his head slightly, stuck out his tongue, and secretly said that he was really not very good at communicating with serious elders......

At home, as a grandchild, she has always been loved by her elders. Except for her own parents, almost no one would treat such a girl harshly with such a perfect girl in every way.

After the greetings, Mahaku's father waved his hand and said in a casual tone: "By the way, you don't need to say hello to your father, we have met in Tokyo before." ”

"Uh......" Jiang Yu blinked in some consternation, "This, this, this......"

"Don't be nervous." Zhenbai's father naturally saw the slight unnaturalness in Jiang Yu's expression, "If you want to say it, I have already finished it on the phone that day." ”

Jiang Yu nodded silently, thought about it, and said the words that had been organized in his heart before: "At least, Uncle Shiina, you don't object to Mahaku drawing comics, right?" ”

No opposition does not mean support.

Such a vague word game in the adult world, Jiang Yu has long understood it.

Hearing this, Mahaku's father was silent, and only nodded after a while, and said in a deep voice: "Just like I said that day, I am still undecided, and I can't see whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to let Mahaku come to Japan." ”

"But at least, life can't stand still."

"So as a father, all I can do is watch my daughter's figure move forward."

Mahaku's father glanced at the girl beside him who didn't say a word, and a little love flashed in his eyes.

And for such a heavy heart from a father, Jiang Yu couldn't say anything, only remained silent,

"I think my daughter will still cause you trouble." Mahaku's father glanced at Jiang Yu, and then at Xiao Bury, with an expression that knew his daughter quite well, but then, that expression gradually became a little serious, "And although it is not well-known in Japan now, in the world of painting, Mahaku is already famous all over the world, and there may be people who disagree with Mahaku's choice in the future." ”

"When her job as a cartoonist becomes widely known, perhaps society or the media will unconsciously tolerate it. When the time comes, you who are around her will probably be involved too. ”

For such a future that is almost visible to the naked eye, Jiang Yu did not say anything to refute it, but just carefully selected the words, and said in a deep voice: "If it really comes to that time, I will firmly stand on the side of Zhenbai." Moreover, I think Mahaku's friends will also support her. ”

"Friend...... "Mashiro's father showed a slightly sighing expression, "Since when?" When my daughter can live like her peers, I feel more joy than ever as a father. ”

But this was only a short-term expression of emotion, and before Jiang Yu could say anything, Zhenbai's father sorted out his expression and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then in the future, I will trouble Xiaoyu to take care of Zhenbai more." ”

"I will!"

"It's just that as a friend."

Father Zhenbai looked at Jiang Yu's gaze, and suddenly became sharp.

"Good...... Good! ”

Feeling this inexplicable pressure, Jiang Yu felt that his forehead seemed to have a little sweat.

At this time, the airport radio began to urge passengers bound for London to pass through security.

"That's fine."

Mahaku's father nodded in satisfaction and lifted the luggage at his feet.

Rita, who had just gone to pick up her ticket, also appeared here "at the right time" and asked with a smile, "Are you finished?" ”

Mahaku's father nodded, then took a step back, signaling with action that it was time between their group of young people.

Rita looked at Jiang Yu first, but before she could speak, Jiang Yu's complaint was ushered in.

"You just did it on purpose, right? Sudden attack or something, I wish it was just one of your own uses. ”

Jiang Yu refers to the fact that when Rita first came to Japan, she came directly to his house without prior notice or preparation.

Rita laughed "poof": "Next time, I'll 'surprise attack'~~"

"Heh......" Jiang Yu also laughed, "I really can't help you." ”

This is tacit approval.

It's also an agreement.

- Until next time.

Then, Rita looked at Xiao Bury again, and the smile on her face became thicker: "Xiao Bury too, I want to get along with Mahaku~~"

Xiao Bury nodded vigorously, and his delicate face was full of seriousness: "I like Zhenbai very much!" I will never let my brother bully her! ”

"Hey——! When have I ever bullied Mashiro? ”

"It's just ......" Xiao Buri's expression darkened slightly, "After Rita leaves, she may become a little lonely......"

"Heh......" Rita couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "You are also welcome to come to the UK to play~~"

"Is that okay? I will definitely go! ”

Xiao Bury's pupils shrank, his eyes lit up, and he laughed happily.

- Be sure to come.

"How much do you care about me?!"

A poor man who was ignored made a reluctant voice.

Eventually, Rita shifted her gaze to Mashiro. But before either of them could speak, they heard the radio again urging them to check in.

"Looks like it's almost time." Rita looked at Mashiro and rarely smiled, "I know Mashiro's thoughts, and I understand that Mashiro doesn't understand my thoughts at all." But even so, I want to set sail again, and I want to say to you - come on! in every sense of the word. ”

Mahaku didn't speak, but rushed up suddenly, hugged the slightly stunned blonde girl, and refused to let go.

Looking at the two who showed no signs of letting go of each other, Jiang Yu was silent for a while, and seemed to be helpless and happily complained: "If you don't let go, don't talk about boarding, Xiao Bury will be jealous?" ”

"Huh? I won't ......."

The flaxen-colored long-haired girl who was named subconsciously retorted.

"Hehe......" Rita laughed again—speaking of which, she felt that she had a genuine smile more today than she had in more than a dozen years—let go of Mahaku, looked at Xiao Burying, and opened her arms.

Xiao Bury pounced on him with a smile on his face.

Getting along day and night is always the best way to cultivate feelings.

After Rita and Xiao Bury let go, the blonde girl with a good figure met Jiang Yu's gaze.

"Do you want Yujun to come and hug too?"

Looking at the girl's playful expression, Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then walked up decisively and gently hugged Rita, who had a stunned expression.

"Ah......h

"Woo ......"

Seeing this scene, Zhenbai and Xiao Bury both made inexplicable sounds.

Mahaku's father shook his head in surprise, with a sighing expression of "...... young people now".

In less than two seconds, Jiang Yu let go of Rita, took a few steps back, looked at the girl who was still a little confused opposite, and said in a serious tone: "You also have to come on, painting." ”

Hearing this, Rita quickly broke free from the wonderful warm feeling just now, and said with a somewhat wandering gaze, "I will." Well...... Yes. ”

Mahaku's father reminded him in a deep voice, "It's time to go, Rita." ”

"Ah......h Well! ”

Rita nodded as if she had woken up from a dream, lifted her suitcase, stood beside Mahaku's father, and turned around after saluting.

The two people who left passed the security check smoothly. Before she could take the escalator down, Rita turned her head slightly and waved her hand.

Jiang Yu smiled and raised his mobile phone, which meant email contact; Mashiro and Koburi waved desperately in response.

The three of them watched intently as the two men departed, until they could no longer see Rita's hand.

"Gone."

Xiao Bury sighed softly, and his voice sounded a little lonely.

"Hmm." Jiang Yu held the hands of the two girls one by one, "Let's go back too, go home." ”

Mahaku lowered his head and made a subtle voice: "Return...... Home ......"

"Hmmm! Go home! ”

Xiao Bury didn't know what he was thinking, reinvigorated his spirits, and responded with vitality.

Then, in the slightly subtle eyes of the passers-by, the three of them were immersed in a little sentimentality, and walked out of the hall.

……

At half past seven o'clock in the evening, the night sky was silent, there were few flowing clouds, and the moon was bright.

The planes bound for London Heathrow Airport moved to the runway according to the specified time, and the lights around the runway lit up.

Rita Eindworth, who was sitting by the window, was fastening her seatbelt as instructed by the flight.

I stayed in Japan for about a month, and that ended today. Rita closed her eyes, and many images naturally came to mind.

After opening the box where various feelings were stored and confirming the contents one by one, Rita cherished them in the depths of her heart.

Jiang Yu, Xiao Buried, and those people who are only known for not meeting by chance......

Japan is such an interesting place.

Rita thought so.

Then, I just wanted to meet them again next time, and I also wanted to get to know those people who often hung up on Jiang Yu, Xiao Burying, and even Zhenbai's words.

The plane came to one end of the runway, and the in-flight announcement announced that it was about to take off.

The jet engine began to turn, the plane shook violently, gradually accelerating, and the blurred scenery outside the window, accompanied by the lights of the city in the distance, flowed like a dream.

Rita took out her phone and prepared to turn it off.

At this moment, she was stunned to find that she had an unread text message on her phone.

In this day and age, except for the communication company urging you to pay the bill, and various verification codes, there are really few people who choose to send text messages to contact.

But there are also some things that are not good to say in person, and at the same time, I am worried that in the case of embarrassment on social software, text messages have become the best carrier for each other.

Rita's heart beat inexplicably faster, and there was a continuous "plop" sound in her ears. After taking a deep breath, she clicked on the text message.

From Jiang Yu.

Rita only felt a sore pain in the depths of her nose, and immediately burst into tears.

The plane, which continued to accelerate, finally flew into the vast sky. It is like a bluebird that has finally broken free from its shackles and soars above the sky, embracing vast and great freedom, embracing joy and peaceful happiness.

Rita's eyes dripped big tears, wetting the hem of her clothes and sliding down the screen of her phone.

Tick-tock-tock-tock-......tock-tock-tock

And she didn't want to wipe away her tears.

"You can't lose to them."

"I'm going to surprise them all next time."

"Yes."

Because, it's so much fun......

Now the bright moon is there, and it seems to be returning to the clouds.
