Ch.14 Collab Stream : "About the Other Day ~Atonement~"

"Why are you like this?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

I watched with joy as Sakura ー or rather, Ouka, screaming on her stream.

The content is a gaming stream, and the title is "The Result of Seeking Diversity in Heroes."

Yes, it's the stupid game I played on stream last time.

After that, even without me recommending it, it seems to have become a mini-trend in the streaming community, and the number of live streamers streaming that game increased.

The same is true within Prisma Ark.

The screams of various seniors echoed all around, and Ouka is no exception.

I'm glad that people found it fun.

The hero that Ouka had drawn was a hero with a comedian personality.

Yes, we are all excited that she got a bad one like me and the others do, while Ouka is in despair.

It's so much more fun when the fire is on the other side of the river.

"Okay, okay. Now if I attack here... Don't make a joke! please, don't make a joke! Ah, you idiot!! Now I'm screwed!"

The hero resisted Ouka's choice and shown off his one-liner.

And just like that, everyone got wiped out on the next turn.

◇◆◇

"Sh- Sho tired..."

Despite screaming at times, Sakura managed to clear the game and finish her stream.

She came into the living room and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Good job."

 I pat her head and praised her.

 I understand how you feel.

"I thought it was a fun game though."

"Mom, you won't understand because you got such a classic character! It was really awful! What's with that meta comment saying, 'Let's make a joke together, player!' ! I had no choice but to do it because I was streaming!"

Sakura barked like a chihuahua.

"But your joke was a bit flat."

"The crowd went wild though!?"

Yes, the other day Mitsuki also played "The Result of Seeking Diversity in Heroes" and drew a hero with a perfectly conventional personality.

And as rumored, it was so well-made that it could easily be called a masterpiece.

Almost everyone else drew hell you know!

"Anyway, have you two thought about what you'll be collaborating on tomorrow?"

"Fugu"

"No, we're just about to decide on it..."

I turned my gaze towards Sakura, but she just turned her face away.

And one more thing.

"Can't I just, not do it?"

"You can't."

"sob"

She collapsed at the blunt reply.

"I guess there's no way to defend you now."

The origin of this collab plan dated back to Ouka's watch party stream that was held the other day.

She spread out snacks and juice on the table and was in a good mood watching anime with her listeners, munching and gulping them down, when suddenly, a shiny black C appeared in the room.

 "Pigyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Ouka screamed with enough force to destroy the eardrums of the listeners, then she pulled me out, who was relaxing in my room, and yelled at me.

"Aria! A Roach! A Roach iiiiisーーー!?"

By the way, the livestream at that time was an AR stream.

And live streamers registered with Prisma Ark are automatically transformed into their avatars during an AR stream.

The same is true when you are caught on camera used by another live streamer.

In other words, even though I appeared on the stream as Alpheria, Sakura called me by my real name.

"Well, Aria was actually my nickname in my previous life. So it shouldn't be that big of a deal."

Alpheria shortened to Aria.

Actually, my nickname from my previous life became my real name in this life. How strange.

So, I managed to covered it up somehow, but.

"But that doesn't mean you can just forgive her."

There was no way that Mitsuki, who was both a mother, senior, and the CEO, would overlook such a mistake from her daughter and subordinate.

I can't help her anymore than this.

"If you think just a remorse is enough to end it, then you'll set a bad example for the other girls. If you say it's okay because you weren't found out, then only Sakura would be happy. So, punishment is absolutely necessary."

"Th- that's not true!"

Hmm, I'm doubtful about this.

This stream revealed to the public that Alpheria and Ouka were living together, but it's not really something that needs to be hidden.

From the listener's perspective, it's just an endless supply of ship materials.

However, that wouldn't enough for public atonement, so we're doing a collab instead.

The official explanation would be something like, "I was supposed to make it public at the appropriate time, but I accidentally let it slip."

Mitsuki was a woman who would never tolerate slip-ups.

And so the collab stream between Sakura and I became Ouka's atonement - in other words, a punishment game stream.

Of course Sakura would grumble.

So this is gonna be my first collab, huh?

"Atonement, huh... like a live stream of you eating an entire portion of super spicy peyo〇g?"

"nonono! that's absolutely impossible!"

"What about fifty one-liners that will make crowds go wild?"

"They would fall completely flat!"

"Three sets each with twenty reps of strength training?"

"I can't even do five reps?!?!"

"Aren't you a bit too weak?"

I listed everything that came to mind, but they were all rejected.

Mitsuki's frustration gauge has appeared!

"So what do you think would be good, Sakura?"

"...A stream of eating snacks until you're full"

"That punishment game would be sweeter than the snacks."

Mitsuki's frustration gauge is filling up!

"I, I am reflecting on my actions properly, you knoe. So I will swallow my tears and do a live stream until I complete an RPG in one go!"

"Well then, let's go down a different route of 'The Result of Seeking Diversity in Heroes'. We can play all the crazy ones."

"I'm sorry."

 Mitsuki's frustration gauge accelerated!

 It's about to explode...!

"Hey, Sakura, if you keep on making jokes like this, Mitsuki's gonna get mad."

I whisper to Sakura.

Mitsuki was currently in MK5 - five seconds away from seriously losing her temper.

"I-I'm not trying to make a joke or anything."

"That makes it even worse. Is there anything else? Something you wouldn't even challenge unless you had an opportunity like this."

"Challenge……"

Sakura, who had been flustered, suddenly began to think deeply with a serious look on her face.

I signaled Mitsuki to stay and then waited for a few seconds.

Sakura repeated "I should make up my mind." and "But still...!" five times before finally opening her mouth.

"...Ah, well, um... you see――"

◇◆◇

This time the stream would be in VR space.

The place is Ouka's My Room. Unlike mine, the interior is very feminine.

"--O-ohakonzakura~! It's Futaba Ouka~"

After counting down 3, 2, 1, Sakura gave her customary greeting.

: Ohakonzakura~

: Aren't you stuttering a bit?

: The stutter tskr

: Her social anxiety always gets worse whenever she's in a collab, afterall.

"H-Huh?! I-I don't have social anxiety! And it's not getting worse!"

: it's actually worse than i thought.

: Or rather, did you just change your avatar so casually like that?

: You're right! It's the same one Alphery and Sanka-sama had!

: Soo cuuuute!

: Gwaaaaaaaaaah!!

That's right, starting today, Ouka will graduate from the avatar she has been using until now and will be using the avatar I made.

There's no particular reason.

Now that they know we're living together, I feel like it's fine to just use it.

"Ah, you noticed? Ehem, look look, I was already a beautiful girl before, but now I've become even cuter!"

Ouka stood up and spun around to show off her figure.

Her long cherry blossom hair, the same color as her name, and her crimson scarf flutter out softly.

Her animal ears, with black tips only, twitched happily, and her fluffy tail swung back and forth freely.

The listeners were excited by the level of perfection, which made it seem more like an anime than a 3D model, exclaiming "Wow!" and "So cute!"

What a kind world.

"So so, today I'm doing a collab with the person who gave me my new makeup! He-here you go!"

When Ouka give their attention to me, I cleared my throat.

"--Be careful of the reincarnation truck.

I'm Alferia Linker, a TS reincarnated Valkyrie belonging to Prisma Ark.

As I'm intruding on Ouka's channel today, I'd like to thank all the reincarnated people and the Yotsuba-gumi."

Since I will be intruding in Ouka's show and as this will be my first collaboration, I bowed respectfully.

: What a polite girl.

: Sakutan, please follow her example.

: That's impossible. She was the woman who acted cocky and self-destructed on her first stream.

: I see. Sorry for asking too much.

"lol"

"ha- haaa?! I can though ?! I can totally be polite though!? ...Ahem, chuday is also a good day."

"You mean, 'today is also a good day' ?"

"Uuu... Do you guys have a problem with me or something?!"

In a fit of desperation, Ouka shouted to her listeners.

Even though they've had such fights, their fan name "Yotsuba-gumi" comes from a lovely reason that "by herself, she's just a sprout, but with everyone she can become a four-leaf clover."

The combination between an introvert and a tsundere is somehow very appealing.

If that was a guy tho, the only option would be to slap him away.

"Okay okay, you're a good kid, so calm down. So, what kind of stream are we doing today?"

: Wow, she seems pretty used to her antics.

: I think this is the first time Sakutan has been this close to someone.

: Even when she's collaborating with one of her genmates, there's enough space for two other people between them.

: This is the power of a roommate...!

: Thank you...thank you...!

: That's so damn cute.

: No way... my incurable disease has disappeared...!?

Kusunoki Momiji : What going on, Ouka!

Natsukawa Kikyo : That's a lie, right...? Ouka...?

Yukino Suisen : lol

: All her genmates are here

"T-T-T-T-too close!"

Ouka quickly distances herself.

Incidentally, all of Ouka's genmates ー The Fall Summer Spring Winter (not a typo), is also watching us. (TL note : the normal order would be: Spring Summer Fall Winter)

"It's nice to meet you, seniors. It seems that Ouka can't stand anything other than my technique, so..."

"Fuwaaaa?!?!"

: Is that a kettle?

: Is the water boiling?

: I- it's coming!

: She's trying to get the upper hand on her seniors lol

Kusunoki Momiji : Damn you rookie! ...But thinking about it, I guess it's fine if it's Ouka.

Natsukawa Kikyo : My, my brain...! ...There's nothing wrong with it! This Potato chips are delicious!

Yukino Suisen : Omegalul

: Is that all the bond of a genmate...!

: There's not even a single piece left lol

"Oi, at least worry a little bit! Wait, that's not it! We're not like that all"

"Really? But you like having me do you hair, don't you, Ouka?"

"He?"

With a mocking grin on my face, I looked up to Ouka from below.

"Did you misunderstanding something, Ouka?"

"~~~!? That's not...! I knew! I totally knew what you mean okay!?"

Her face was as red as an apple as she continued barking like a chihuahua

I gave an exaggerated shrug to Ouka.

"Oh dear. What a naughty fox."

"That's not iiiiiiiiit!!!"

Poka poka poka,

This rush of cute sounds continued for a while.
