A bloody and violent rampage. One where the chat definitely DID not hold back.
Although it was tastefully censored by having the blood turn into crimson petals, there was visceral catharsis from all the nobles who had pinned the blame on Lady Zen being killed.
At least, that was what chat felt. Because...
> @herald_of_despair: I am content.
> @rabid_bunny: I shouldn't have enjoyed that as much as I did...
> @reasonable_parsnip: Best. Debut. Ever.
Lady Zen giggled, the weapons she used as well as the very ball room around her dissolving into blue light. Slowly turning her head left and right, she said, "I suppose my time in this world is finished... But I still hear you." She turned to look directly at the camera and said, "...I don't know the details. But I have the sense that you want to save me. Am I right?"
> @purplecrow: OF COURSE!
> @uglyhippo: OBVIOUSLY!
> @timekeeper: FOREVER AND A DAY!
Lady Zen smiled softly. "...Okay. Then..." She placed her hand over her chest and quietly closed her eyes. "I'll make a wish. That, even as this world ends, even as this life fades, we'll meet again. And in the next life, we can meet properly."
> @anotherheaven: NEXT LIFE?!
> @3miya_shewrote: ZEN NOOOOOOOOOOO
> @realitydenier: I REJECT THIS CRUEL FATE! I REJECT THIS TRAGEDY!
Lady Zen quietly waved at the camera and said, "Goodbye, my lovely angels."
After that, she dissolved into mist and the world turned white.
"God knows if we'll meet again... but if we do..."
Silence. Nothing but the sound of wind in a white expanse.
But then...
The soft strum of a guitar echoed, along with Lady Zen's voice. No. Just 'Zen' now.
[Play "God Knows" ENGLISH ver | AmaLee]
Zen's voice echoed, singing softly to her guitar. "This empty heart..."
> @keen_ai: OH MY GOD
> @astute_toon: So this is how she becomes an idol!
> @sasu_guy: IT ALL MAKES SENSE
> @Imma_lee: God knows... GOD KNOWS!
The breeze kicked up and sakura petals covered the screen along with a lens flare.
When it died down, it revealed Zen sitting by an open window with Tokyo's cityscape behind her.
Unlike before, where she was dressed in a formal ball gown, she was wearing modern clothes: a simple pink hoodie as well as a pair of slightly worn jeans.
Hugging a guitar close, she continued playing and singing her song, smiling at the camera.
"Let's escape and chase after the dreams we both create..."
> @juan_titor: John you sunnuvabich.
> @epiclord: THIS IS SO FVCKING PEAK
> @miraizenthusiast: WHY ARE ALL THE MIRAIS GIRLS SO AMAZING?!
Zen continued playing her guitar, smiling and singing softly to the camera, as if they were the only ones in the world.
"I once was all alone, but now you're standing here... the world around could disappear..."
The Tokyo cityscape shone with a golden light behind her. And to the astute viewers...
> @keen_ai: THAT'S MYTH INC!
> @crazylenny: SHE'S IN THE HEADQUARTERS?!
> @holycow: OH MY GOD IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
> @jk_343: Guys. GUYS! I'm in Roppongi right now AND I CAN HEAR HER SINGING!
...They realized that it was happening in realtime.
After singing a bit more, Zen finished with a strum of a chord and the final words. "As if we were god blessed..."
> @okim_dai: We are SO blessed...
> @sasu_goat: This is amazing...
> @yes_plz: I can die happy T_T
Zen gently placed her guitar to the side and then reached out to adjust the camera, making it clear she was streaming from a phone. "Is this working well? I haven't gotten used to this much, so sorry if it's a little scuffed, my guardian angels."
> @cryingquail: We're her guardian angels... T_T
> @emoi_pengi: Argh, this stream is too emotional...!
> @questioningquail: I have SO many questions...
Zen smiled and then picked up the phone stand. After that, she said, "How about we move somewhere more comfortable?" She started walking, showing a somewhat messy room filled with sketches, song lyrics, and musical instruments.
Then she set it up next to her desk, where she sat down at a comfy gaming chair.
...A limited edition Hana Homura gaming chair.
> @ohanadayo: OH MY GOD IS HER OSHI HANA?!
> @hanas_imouto: ONLY TEN OF THOSE WERE EVER MADE!
> @ohana_101: NO WAY!
Zen chuckled and said, "You noticed?" She lightly caressed her fingers across the leather of the seat as well as the decal of Hana on the back. "I spent a lot for this and went without food for a few weeks when it came out... but it was worth it."
> @cant_bellybit: Is this the same person...?
> @ohanadayo: SHE'S AN OHANA!
> @inyur_walls: DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE NEW GIRLS COULD BE ANY OF US?!
> @oh_noes: THEY'RE IN OUR WAAAALLS!
Zen smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. ...Well, from my point of view. I guess you could say it's been a lifetime?" She winked, mischief clear in her violet eyes.
> @jumpingjackal: omg I love her
> @richmen: ...just take my money.
> @puppogirl: ded
> @god_dog: I'm Die, thank you forever...
Zen adjusted the camera a bit to focus on her face and then said, "Mister John said that we don't have to do a scripted 'debut' or anything... so how about we just chat and get to know each other? I'm planning to stay around a long time, so there's no need to rush. Right?"
> @crazybastard223: John, you goddam sunnuvabich. You did it again
> @vibranium_pen: No powerpoint presentations? Just vibes? Bet.
> @yuri_enthusiast: Oh, I LIKE like her...
Zen placed her hands on her lap and idly kicked her legs back and forth on the chair. "I guess I should explain what I'm planning to do? I know that the other girls in Project MirAIs usually stream games and things like that. But I think I'll be just music, like my Oshi, Hana."
> @bruh_meister: SHE JUST SAID IT?!
> @hanas_oniichan: Sasuga, strongest imouto. The Ohana are truly the strongest...
> @lmaowhy: bruh XD
> @ohanadayo: Ooh! I like music!
> @curiouscat: Does this mean we get songwriting streams?!
> @house_trim: I'm in!
"Oh! I almost forgot." Zen reached off to the side and picked up a sketchbook. When she opened it, the pages revealed each of the scenes shown earlier in the stream. "I sketched everything in this book earlier. I was thinking about making it available to you all as a gift. Would you like that? I wish I could give a physical version to you all for free, but it's a bit expensive... I can give you a digital one though!"
> @moneywallet: Birthday merch confirmed?!
> @killerqueen: I will pay WHATEVER YOU NEED to have a copy of that!
> @oilbaron: How much for the original?
Zen chuckled and said, "As much as I would like to give the original away... a dear friend of mine already called dibs."
> @miraizfan101: ...So like, we just dropping the bit?
> @miraiz_enthusiast: Wow. New world record for dropping kayfabe? XD
> @loveme_moor: Classy and goofy... best girl confirmed.
Zen smiled and said, "Well, I could be formal... but I'm tired of that life. So instead..." Her violet eyes glimmered with mirth and she said, "...Shall I spill some tea?"
> @icy_heart: REAL DRAMA?
> @spillda_tea: DO WE HAVE A GOSSIP VTUBER?!
> @nocap: NO WAY?! FOR REAL? ON GOD?!
Zen hummed and said, "It seems like a lifetime ago now since I've arrived here in this whole new world... but there are quite a few people that stick out in my head. Like that prince." She let out a wicked smile and said, "I won't tell you his REAL name. But let's call him... Mm. Romeo."
> @watashino: ded
> @koio_higekino: XD
> @jurietoo: Romeo... PFT
Zen stretched, making herself comfortable. Then she leaned forward, placing her elbows on her knees to rest her head on her palms. "It all started when I was five. You see, my parents were powerful people of status and thought, yes, our daughter should clearly marry into power too. So they introduced me to this little shithead called Romeo..."
> @ryuusei_111: oh my god she's like Queen too?!
> @gomi_king: This is like a mature Hana with Queen vibes and I AM THERE FOR IT
> @beeeg_fan: MEMBERSHIIIIPS! WHY ARE YOU NOT HEEEEERE?!
Zen continued to rant about Romeo for a solid hour, using colorful language, VERY descriptive details, and citing mortifying incidents that Romeo did... like how he once blatantly brought up to her that he had a very nice 'sword' and flashing her, only for her to reflexively laugh at how it was more like a 'dagger.'
> @speedrunner_bob: bruh.
> @grand_archivist: is this going to be the first debut stream that gets unarchived? XD
> @lonk_legend_of: unarchived debut stream any% world record
Zen shifted her eyes to the side and gasped. "It's been an hour already?! No! I'm going to miss Hana's stream!"
> @hanas_imouto: XD
> @ohanadayo: A true Ohana...
> @HanaHomura_VT🔧: Zen, you silly! I'm right here! You finish first!
Zen noticed Hana's comment and then let out a happy squeal. "HANA-SENPAI! HI HI HI!" She waved at the camera. "I'm finishing now! Right now! Go stream! I wanna watch! Okay, bye, love you, bye bye b-"
The stream suddenly cut off as Zen's palm covered the camera.
[Thank you for watching!]
> @immacat: BRUH
> @emmabean: XD
> @killerqueen: I love her so much XDDDD
> @stellarking: What a way to start the debuts...
> @zenki_mura: If this is the opening act, wtf are the others going to be like...?
> @ZenDrion_VT🔧 Go watch Hana-chan! Gogogogogogogogogogogo!
> @ZenDrion_VT🔧 If you love me, go love her!
> @ZenDrion_VT🔧 I won't forgive you if you I find out you didn't.
> @ZenDrion_VT🔧 🪓🪓🪓
> @miraiz_enthusiast: WHEEZE
