There is a word called "dawn emotions."
It is said that there are hormonal factors involved, and people are more likely to experience emotional outbursts in the early morning hours.
Then, I realized that Anna had co after drinking.
Thus, the battle in the abyss began.
"In high school, my friends suggested that we play Mapo. Actually, I had been playing Mapo on the R server from the start, you know? But all my friends were on the W server, so they told to join them, and I ended up buying a server transfer ticket. But when I moved to the W server, all my friends quit one by one, and the only one who kept playing said the W server was a rural server with too few people, so they made a new character on the R server. Can you believe that?"
"Anna-senpai... it must have been tough for you... Ah, is it my turn now...?"
This isn’t my story, but it’s about so high school kid. They wanted to make friends but didn’t have the courage to start a conversation, so they tried to get soone else to approach them. They were an outsider, you see. They thought if they did sothing special, soone would talk to them. So, they didn’t sign up for the school lunch and woke up early every day to stop by a café on the way to school and buy honey bread. Then, when everyone went to the school cafeteria for lunch, this person stayed behind in the classroom and ate the honey bread they bought that morning. They did this for the entire year."
"..."
"They were trying to give others an excuse to talk to them... But in the end, no one talked to them for a whole year. The only person who rembered them was the café manager, who rembered them as 'the high school girl who liked honey bread.' It’s such a story, huh? Haha… this one wasn't very interesting..."
Inagikabo let out a laugh, but his eyes were not smiling at all.
I don’t know what happened, but we ssed up.
I wasn’t that bad, haha...
I feel nauseous...
Stop it already...
For now, Inagikabo’s approach was different.
The two of them had fundantal differences.
Anna was simply soone who disliked getting close to others. She doesn’t like the effort of approaching people. Even if she made a friend, she hated using up resources just to maintain that relationship.
In other words, Anna just liked being alone.
On the other hand, Inagikabo had an exaggerated desire to make friends with others, but it wasn’t going well for him.
"...I lost."
It was an indescribable fear, sothing one could expect in a Cthulhu-esque world.
Facing that, Anna understandably had to kneel.
The act of resisting was aningless.
Every ti Inagikabo told a story, Anna’s ntal state deteriorated. Who would want to listen to Inagikabo’s stories until the end?
There are people who enjoy physical pain, but no one likely enjoys ntal tornt.
At least, Anna didn’t have a hobby of tornting her own mind.
"Anna-senpai... you’re... you're a great 'insider' after all."
"I’ll keep that in mind."
Thus, Inagikabo was able to claim the title of EYEAI's greatest outsider after defeating Anna.
What aning there was in that, only Inagikabo would know.
After that, Anna and Inagikabo beca close.
"Surprisingly, we get along well..."
That’s what Anna thought.
At first, she was really worried if she could get close to this person, but once they started talking, they found they had a lot in common.
-"By the way, both of you like subculture gas, right? I’ve seen you do gacha broadcasts sotis." -"Since we finally t, why not talk about subculture gas? Like 'Kwonshin,' or 'Blue Record'?"
Laura, who had been watching Anna and Inagikabo, made the suggestion.
Anna was originally a VTuber whose main content was ASMR and singing, while her side content included one-shot gas and gacha gas. Recently, due to the Fantasy League, her broadcasts and collaborations had increased, but she had always played a lot of gacha gas.
She was a born otaku and a silver spoon, so she had no hesitation about spending money on gacha gas.
And Inagikabo, well... should I even explain?
He likely spends most of his VTuber salary on gacha gas, playing them relentlessly.
Kwonshin, Destruction: Moon Rail, Lighting Wave, Dragon Mousse Predator Derby, Blue Record, School Idol Producer, GirlGOP2: Ghosts, Princess Connection Revive, First Origin, Trick Color Bible, etc...
He had tried almost every major gacha ga and even played gacha gas not yet released in Korea by spending yen just to stream.
Anyway, since both of them liked gacha gas, when they decided to talk about subculture gas, surprisingly, they communicated very well.
"...I should have started talking about subculture from the beginning."
Inagikabo’s tales of his university failure were things Anna didn’t want to hear.
Once they found a common interest, the two beca close very quickly.
It was strange that they hadn’t been close until now, considering that both of them were EYEAI’s biggest otakus.
And the more they talked, the more Anna felt a strange sense of fulfillnt.
After all, Anna didn’t often share her tastes with others.
Think about it.
Would she be able to excitedly talk about how "this new character in Lighting Wave has huge breasts and is incredibly lewd!" in front of Laura?
She would definitely get a cold stare for such crude remarks.
And it wasn’t just Laura. There weren’t many senior VTubers in EYEAI who could sympathize with this sentint.
There was a reason for that. VTubers don’t play gacha gas as much as you’d think.
When they’re progressing through a story or rolling gacha, it’s exciting for the broadcast, but once the gacha is rolled and the story is finished, it turns into a "chore" that needs constant grinding.
It’s hard to make exciting content after that. So, if you finish the story, the broadcast efficiency drops.
Also, there are many "evil spirits" in the gas. To summon one character, it often takes a lot of money. If you stop playing for a while, the training elents will increase drastically. Viewers often expect the VTuber to fully level up a character, which makes the cost-performance feel poor compared to other gas.
Many VTubers end up quitting gacha gas after trying them out.
In this context, there’s surprisingly little chance for VTubers to talk about gacha gas with each other.
"Ah, Jenny... I’m planning to pull for Jenny, too... I really love her decadent charm..."
But Inagikabo plays along.
"Ah, you know your stuff. Isn’t she so beautiful? She hardly shows her skin, but she’s incredibly lewd, right?"
"Exactly. She has that overworked office lady vibe..."
"Yes! So when she cos out, I’m going to fully upgrade her!"
"...If you’re going to fully upgrade her, you’ll need to work hard on training. But Anna-senpai, it doesn’t look like you’re farming properly... Are you doing the Tower of Trials 40-star?"
Of course, Inagikabo was very strict with people who didn’t focus on the ga...
Anna was a light user compared to Inagikabo, but fortunately, she managed to pass his judgnt.
Inagikabo had always wanted to do multiplayer gacha with soone.
Given how much he spent on the ga, he was one of those big spenders.
And big spenders usually feel proud when they help a newbie with their super-powered characters.
In that sense, Anna was perfect for filling Inagikabo’s lack of self-esteem.
So, when the dating practice broadcast ended, they promised to play multiplayer together and finished the broadcast with a much better mood than when it started, which had left everyone with wounds.
"Looks like you two beca close. Inagikabo, there’s sothing I want to tell you."
After the broadcast ended, Inagikabo heard various things from Laura.
Anna was about to undergo a punishnt ga. It was a one-on-one date with Rui, and Anna was very nervous about it.
Since they had beco close, Laura suggested Inagikabo should stay by Anna's side for now to help her out.
Also, Laura hoped Inagikabo would appear on more broadcasts.
"…3D?"
"Yes. Sora and I are starting 3D production."
"Ah, I see…"
Then, Inagikabo also received so surprising news.
Well, maybe it wasn’t that surprising...
Since the Fantasy League began, Laura had surpassed Linko in subscriber count.
The match for Leviathan hadn’t even started yet, but once it does, her subscriber count will rise even more.
Now, Laura was EYEAI’s undisputed flagship VTuber.
It was clear that their worlds were completely different. Inagikabo didn’t even feel inferior.
In fact, he felt a sense of awe.
"I hope you can achieve 3D with Chel too."
"Is it because of the 6th-generation solo live?"
"Yes. So, how about more public activities?"
And then, Laura briefly ntioned the "Aurora Battle."
Sora’s participation was confird, and Chel was also being considered as a candidate.
"Of course, the 6th-gen solo live is just my idea. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you."
Laura didn’t feel the need to say more.
She knew Inagikabo couldn’t refuse. After all, wasn’t it Inagikabo who suggested the the "Youth" for the solo live?
"Ah, Ara-se..."
He had neither the courage to refuse nor any reason to.
And even more so, he had a strong desire to try.
"Ah, so I just need to help Anna-senpai with the date... right? I’m not sure if I can do well, but... I’ll give it a try!"
"Good. Then please take care of Anna."
A few days later, Anna and Inagikabo were seen collaborating.
To be exact, Anna was collaborating with another VTuber, and Inagikabo was tagging along, facilitating the collaboration.
For example, Anna invited Chel to her channel.
Anna and Chel knew each other, but they weren’t that close.
So, Inagikabo stayed by Anna’s side, playing the role of a diator in the collaboration.
"Seems like you’re doing better than I thought."
The first day was Chel, the second day was Aina, and the third day was Linko.
It felt like Anna and Inagikabo were eting each of EYEAI’s VTubers one by one.
Probably, Anna invited colleagues she wasn’t very close to as practice for her dating training.
This situation seed to be working well for both Anna and Inagikabo.
There’s nothing wrong with colleagues getting closer in the sa company.
Anyway, back to the main story,
[Laura, are you ready?]
"No problem."
[Then write 'the command' there.]
Rui's voice rang out, and a white screen appeared in front of .
After a mont of thought, I wrote the ssage like this.
《After the date, suggest bungee jumping.》
I sent it off, and Rui’s voice rang again.
[Yep, it works well. Tomorrow’s broadcast will be fine.]
Rui said cheerfully.
Before long, the punishnt ga ti was approaching.
There were a total of four characters in this segnt.
Anna: The protagonist of the dating simulation who has to go on a date.
Rui: The heroine who’s going on the date.
Laura: The observer and Player 1 who suggested the punishnt ga.
Sora: The observer and Player 2 who insisted on participating in the joint broadcast.
"Heh. So if I write the command here, it’ll go to Anna-senpai, right?"
Sora laughed from the side.
"Shiroki Anna, you’re finished."
【Observer’s View】 I made the date angry. I can dominate Shiroki Anna 【Ayano Kouji Sora/Aurora】
