Chapter 7:
Welcome to Artificial Heaven!
I can’t help but stare dumbfounded at the dark red blot on the fabric next to my crotch. It isn’t much aside from a tiny blot. I then hastily get out of my bed to check if there’s any stain on the bedsheets but I fortunately don’t see any. I took a sanitary pad, undies, and clothes then dashed into the bathroom to take a morning shower.
The sensation of water hitting my skin feels rather prickly but not painful. It didn’t take me long to wash myself down there so I rinsed outside but I’m too afraid to touch inside it. To be fair, working on what’s outside feels nice enough… literally. Hee-hee... I opened the sanitary pad, peeled the sticky strip off, and pressed it against my crotch. Wait, how do I put this on again? It took me a moment of pondering before deciding to lay it on the crotch area of my panties pulled up to the middle of my thighs before slowly pulling it all the way up. Oh well, this seems the most intuitive. I noticed my breasts feeling a little tender and puffy on the tips while putting a bra on.
I feel a bit under the weather but not bad enough that it bothers me so I’ll just assume that these are all just part of hormonal fluctuations during my period. I remember hearing about how it differs for each woman. Some have it worse and I feel lucky that it’s nothing that serious in my case. It feels like I’m wearing a mini diaper, but that’s part of my new life now so let’s just roll with it. I just came to a realization and it started to make sense why women tend to take a long time getting ready since they have more stuff to take care of. I’m one of them now, though. Hee-hee…
I threw the laundry straight into the basket and headed out. Looks like I’ll have to take care of the laundry in a few days. I’m at my desk waiting for the computer to boot up. “Alright, let’s start streaming!” I said out loud but it’s only 10 AM so most people would probably be at school or work right now. Whatever, I’m okay with having bums, truants, and slackers in general as my audience. I won’t discriminate money, but then again that particular target market might not be the ones to throw around cash. I have to aim for the affiliate program too so I should start as soon as possible.
I logged in to the streaming site right away and quickly did the stream preps. There’s not much to set up anyway, just a broadcasting app and basic layout with the chatbox and it’s all good.

Whoa, I already have 1 viewer! Wait… That’s me. Ugh… I waited for a couple of minutes but nobody came. The black empty thumbnail doesn’t help so I guess I’ll just play something until someone comes. I queued up a TFT game in window mode and ended up enjoying it when I noticed something in the chatbox.
>???
>What’s this?
“Oh, hello. I’m playing TFT right now.”
>You’re in “Just Chatting” category, though.
“Don’t worry about it. Yeah, I just do whatever I want.”
>???
>ok…
“So, let’s have a chat.”
[7 viewers]
It didn’t take long for a few more random viewers to pop in without me noticing.
>??? whats this????
>hello
>btw you have a nice voice but the sound quality…
>True, what mic do you use?
“Really? Thanks. I don’t know the brand of my headset but it includes a mic.”
>wat, that explains the terrible quality
>lol how much are they even
>still, the voice sounds very nice
>Right? Right? Right?
“Hee-hee, of course! I’m Angel Yumi! Welcome to Artificial Heaven!”
>hahaa, sudden stream title drop @ day 1
>Day 1? Did you just start today?
“Yes, this is my first day.”
>??? angel yumi?? why yumicake then?
“Oh, that… Yumi is already taken.”
>hehe obviously
>keep talking, your voice is soothing
>why are you playing tft?
“Just because? I have nothing else to do.”
>ahahah you started broadcasting with zero plans?
>dw we’re in “Just Chatting” category so it works
“Alright, let’s finish this game first so I can focus on chatting with everyone.”
>okay
I closed the game afterwards and went back to chatting for a couple more hours with the few people who stumbled upon my channel. Fortunately, most of them stuck around.

“Like I said, Minase was a scumbag! He kept sleeping around like a horndog and he deserved the horror of watching Imari get backdoor visitors! Thanks to that, we got to see some nice scenes too. Minase’s sister looks good too, right? I still feel bad for the student council president, though. He played her like a fiddle then tossed her aside.”
>lol yea, it’s old but the quality is still good for today’s standards
>Teacher, why do you know a lot about this stuff? How old are you?
“Hmm? I guess it went out before I was born. Anyway, I prefer the first series over the prequel. Hear me out, kids!”
>1st series? They were still students there, oh no!
>Teacher…
>lol getting called a kid by a younger woman feels conflicting…
>Teacher, what do you think about Airi?
“Hmm? Airi? The blonde stepdaughter, right? She’s fine, but to be honest I prefer the second installment. You know, the short-haired brunette? Or was it orange?
>2nd installment? The sequel is called Re-birth.
No, I’m talking about the second installment. The first one has many sequels, Re-birth, Reborn, Revenge, Rebuild, Vacation… they’re all under the first installment with Airi. Anyway, in the 2nd installment, it’s a different family where the father got into an accident and lost his wife. He probably hit his head the wrong way and started feeling “that way” and he has four daughters.
>Teacher, you’re well-versed in this. Are you one of us? hehehehe
“So, yeah… The second installment, right? It also has its own sequels. I prefer the eldest sister with pink hair. She starred in her own sequel…”
>are you doing something? Sounds like you’re busy there
“Ah, sorry… I’m almost done here. To celebrate the first day of our stream, I have a little surprise for everyone here. Behold, lost sheep! For you will be a part of history to unfold upon the advent of your digital angel, Yumi!”
>ohhhh! What’s up?
>hentai master yumi lol
“And... it’s done! Anyway, kids. I’ll take a short lunch break so behave yourselves. I’ll be back in about half an hour.”
>Teacher, what did you do?
>What’s done? lol
>okay okay
>Nooo afk!
>eat a lot
“Oh, right. Do you kids know the panda site? The source of the daily doujin bread?”
>whoa
>hentai master yumi 😭
>this angel
>it’s teacher for you
“Yeah, I just posted a gallery there. I’ll give you the gid and toke. Good luck finding it! Bye~!”
I played royalty-free music as a bgm then took off and went to get some bread from the usual neighborhood bakery. I ate a couple of them while watching the chat gradually losing it at the desk. What I did earlier while chatting was a quick image editing of a random doujinshi I downloaded from the panda site. It’s no rocket science, just a basic dialogue cleanup, slapping English translations over them, and reuploading the result back to the panda site. Yes, it’s a quick and dirty translation job. Why would I do something tedious? Let’s just say it’s a sort of marketing strategy.
When publishing panda galleries, you can write credits on their descriptions. Putting a link back to my channel there would pull some curious souls. Having a few of them stick to the channel is already a win. But it’s actually more than just that. I also put an extra page in the gallery for credits. This means that any other sites that scrape panda galleries will have that credit page slapped in there as well, putting more eyes and pseudo-backlinks. All in all, it’s an easy way to siphon viewers. Well, it’s easy since I already have the basic skills for it.

“Angel Yumi, where are you? Come back! Angel Yumi, where are you? Come back! Angel Yumi, where are you? Come back!”
Yep, the chat is on fire. I just smirked upon seeing the result of a job well done as I continued munching on bread.
“Om nom nom… Thanks for the $1 donation. Omn… I’m almost done here, give me a few more minutes.”

“Let’s talk about Front Innocent. I bet you know that one.”
“Oh, thanks for the $5 donation. Yep, Front Innoncent. Urushihara-sensei’s indefinitely stalled OVA, right? He joined the anime production of that one as well. The result sadly didn’t sell well to warrant a 2nd episode but the quality is too good for its time. You know, it was an era of cheap conveyor belt Vanilla Series and wonky OVAs. Those didn’t compare to the absolute cinema quality of Front Innocent, and the best part was it got a US-licensed uncensored release. The details are great too. It didn’t go the Bible Black/Discipline/Black Gate route and instead went to the typical Urushihara character styling but it is a masterpiece on its own. You can see his personal touch on it, right? It makes you remember his previous stuff like Lemnear, Plastic Little, and his character illustrations for games like Growlanser.“
>Ah shit, here we go again. 🚲
>????
>she yappin’
>Let’s go!
>What the...
>hentai master yuuuumiiiiii 😭😭😭😭😭
>Now we’re talking 🔥
>lol she really knows her stuff
>🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
>Who opened the floodgates!?
>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
>Growlanser and Langrisser, so nostalgic. Haven’t heard of them for a while.
>Huh? What kind of stream is this?
>lolololol
>yapping about hentai
>”Just Yapping” 😂😂😂😂
The viewers went up as I kept on chatting until 5 PM. More viewers actually came but they didn’t stay long. I’m not sure if the ones who did stay were there for the chat or TFT but either way, all is well. I stood up and stretched my body after turning off the broadcast and checked some stuff. For my debut broadcast, I maintained just above 50 viewers, 34 subscribers, and $11 from donations. I’m pretty sure I did very well since I’ve read before somewhere how most who try broadcasting rarely get viewers, much more donations until they quit. It’s a cutthroat industry with a zero-sum competition for eyeballs. Welp, I’m not really sure about that but I assume that’s how difficult online broadcasting is.
I lay on my bed and thought how fun it was. I can’t wait for my next stream.
