Ch.30 Collab Stream "The RuruHaru Duo!" 1

"……………………………………"

The first dungeon.

About 3 floors in.

I've been coming in slowly and progressing slowly up to this point.

Apparently, the guards were there ahead of us to scout the surrounding area, or rather to see who else was hiding there, and they were keeping an eye on the situation.

It's not an adventurous experience, but it's still refreshing in its own way.

This time, I was matching up with Ruru and combining 2 solos, which is something that not many people would do, and it seems like it's at a level of difficulty that I could clear even with my eyes closed.

Also, Ruru-san arrived a little late.

The reason?

You know, it'd be a problem if something bad happened to the dungeon as soon as we entered.

If it was just us we could manage, but having other people get caught up in it is a bit... You know, right?

It can't be helped, as there is a risk of damage occurring due to collapses or monster summoning.

There's no such thing?

It's Ruru-san, you know?

I experienced Ruru-san's miracle with my own body, so I know very well that nothing is impossible.

Also, they told us that they want to experiment with different distances between Ruru-san and me.

I'd really like to know how far away we were for something like that to happen... because it's such a miracle.

[Haru-sama. There are currently four groups exploring, and we have taken up positions for each of them.]

"Thank you"

The voices of the guards came from the intercom in my ears.

They're at a higher level than I was before when I was a man, and they're far more physically capable than I am now as a little girl, so they'll be able to do something about it if something happens.

I appreciate them for it.

If something happens to Ruru-san, please let me know.

By the way, this kind of behind-the-scenes work is popular.

You see, they're earning a high salary while working for a company and utilizing their skills.

Most people don't have much of a desire to be in the spotlight, so they prefer doing routine work behind the scenes.

The amount of work you do each day is constant, the pay is constant, and your coworkers are constant.

The difficulty varies depending on the dungeon you enter, there are often irregularities, the rewards are calculated accordingly each time, and compared to normal dungeon exploring where the members seem to change quite frequently... It feels like an entirely different kind of income security.

I understand.

I wanted to be there too.

It's great that the accounting department handles the social insurance and things like that for you.

Year-end adjustment?

Tax return?

I don't really understand what that is... Just leave it alone... With that feeling, I was able to relax.

If you get fired and start doing it yourself, the benefits are still still there, so it does motivate you, especially if you're hiding out every day like me.

It's still just a bit of a hassle, though.

However, even with this, if you suffer a serious injury you'd be unable to work for six months, so there is a fair amount of risk involved.

No matter how much healing magic there is, like "as long as you don't die, it'll work out", pain still hurts, and with all sorts of mental issues, phantom limb pain, and PTSD, it seems that people who are seriously injured can't easily recover.

I hate that kind of thing, so I'm smart enough to master the long-distance job.

That aside... let's get started.

Click.

[Oh, the usual time]

[10am feels like I'm working a flextime system.]

[But this is Haru-chan we're talking about]

[A brave girl who works alone in the dungeon at set times...]

[A loli who works steadily at routine work like a corporate slave...]

[Good……]

[You guys are being trained too well]

This time it's a collaboration.

So I'm leaving the comment section up for Ruru-san to respond.

But I can still manage about 10 people, or 11 people, including Newcomer-san, since I can tell them apart from their icons.

I basically just skim over the comments of other people.

Apparently, "It's impossible to suddenly go from a stream with a maximum of 10 viewers to hundreds or thousands."

Of course.

Streaming is a special task.

It's just impossible for me.

[That's a deformed version of Haru-chan on my name... right!?]

[We, the Primordials, were able to join as the highest-ranking members]

[That's nice, being the Primordials...]

[Can you add more people?]

[Too bad for you, I'm the last one.]

[Anego!]

[That's not fair, Anego!]

[Don't call me Anego, I'll request disclosure]

[Eh……]

[Forgive me]

[That won't work, right...?]

[But it'd still be a pain even if it doesn't work]

[lol]

[Anego is too strong lol]

Anego-san?

...Ah, the 11th person.

That's kind of cool, isn't it?

"Primordials" or "Eleventh Person"... I like that kind of mischief too.

As a guy, that's what tickles my fancy.

"Good morning"

[She spoke!]

[Haru-chan is talking to us!!]

[Cute voice]

[She's definitely a loli]

[I like the slightly tongue-tied feel]

It was the usual time, and as usual, there was no announcement whatsoever.

When I'm live, the usual people were there, and it seemed like the plan I was told to follow was a good one after all.

That's right.

I've always been a lonely person.

I like to read a book alone, far away from where a lot of people are having fun.

So - let's do it as I always do.

I'm sure the other people, like Ruru-an and the people at the agency, will handle it well.

"My stream will be the same as last time, so if you want a response to your comments, please go to Ruru-san's stream instead."

[Yes]

[Chairman]

[Loli Chairman]

[But I'm here for Haru-chan, so I'll stay here]

[Me too]

[Me too!!!!]

[Anego...]

I looked at Ruru-an's archives to study, and they're all amazing.

She looks like someone you'd normally see on TV.

There's no way I could do that.

I was one of those students who couldn't even speak up in class.

I think the limit is about 10 people who I can get along with.

It's great to just quietly chat away from time to time, wondering whether you'll be one of those 10 or not.

[It was the same the other day, but she talks childishly but is very mature... she's surprisingly a loli, isn't she?]

[She's obviously a loli]

[It's ok, we're okay with both lolis and legal lolis]

[Wow, the increase in concurrent viewers is outrageous...]

[The previous 2 streams were like that afterall]

[Comments are flowing so quickly]

[Well, that's a matter of course.]

[There are also several mirror streams available]

[Seems like it]

[If an accident were to occur now, it would be a big problem.]

[Stop the summoning ritual]

[What will you do if Ruru-chan's curse comes?]

[Huh? I'd cry]

[Weeping pathetically and begging for mercy]

[lol]

[Don't say that as if it's the only option!]

Oh yeah, I should have said this first.

"Today is a collab, so I have a lot of ammunition provided by the agency. So today, I'm not going to use stones or anything like that."

Holding my smartphone with the comments streaming by on the screen in one hand, I show off the items I was given.

[Hands]

[Hands]

[Small]

[Oh, there's also a sniper rifle]

[That's Haru-chan's usual stuff.]

[Slingshot → Bow and arrow → Sniper rifle, and against high-level enemies, rocket launchers.]

"So today you don't have to think about the cost."

Cost matters.

The performance is also important.

By accumulating these experiences, you can obtain a higher level of alcohol.

[You can eat as much as you want \1000]

[Please grow up \15000]

[Please stay as you are \30000]

Eh?

……………………………….

Ah, oh no, could it be!?

"Oh, no, I'm not begging."

That's not it, that's not it.

That's not what I meant――――――

[Because you haven't been monetized for 3 years, here \50,000 yen]

[We had no way to give to someone who hadn't been monetized... So please understand... \10000]

[That's true... I'd still be able to give if the other person had Hoshiimo or Fanbox.]

[Messages of support are often not enough]

[Haru-chan especially doesn't read it much...]

[The Primordials... I understand, I understand how you feel...!]

[Understandable]

[Being in poverty is enough reason to give her money, but I also just want to support her.]

[Yes, if you want her to continue for a long time]

Wow, in just a moment... thirty...

"……………………………………"

...Only a small percentage of this makes it into my hands, but I still feel bad about it.

My sense of money remains that of a single office worker.

My side job in the dungeon went well so I was able to make some money, but I still felt like I was no longer a newbie employee as I could just compare the cheapest foods at supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores.

"... Emi-san."

She told me to just talk to her if I had any problems.

I think Emi-san and the others were watching the live stream in case there were any problems.

"Is it possible to get a refund for the money I just got?"

[Mikazuki Emi "There is no refund function"]

When she's not in Hentai-san mode, Emi-san is pretty reliable.

I'll ask, just to see if there's any loophole.

Because, like... it's kind of bad, right?

Tipping... I thought it was something like throwing a coin as a tip to someone performing on the street.

"Can you do something about it?"

[Mikazuki Emi: "No, it's just not possible due to the platform's system."]

But the comments she sent back were ones of despair.

"Ehh..."

I wonder why...I'm sure there were people who threw it by mistake in the past, right?

Oh, come to think of it, Emi-san's demeanor changes when she's around other people.

She may seem like a different person, but in reality she's a pervert despite being a girl.

[So kind]

[Sad news: Haru-chan was seriously trying to return it]

[Want some more delicious food? \5000]

[Meat fee \7000]

Judging from the comments, it seems that nowadays, it's not strange to receive money like this.

I don't usually watch the internet or stream stuff, so I never thought about it like that.

...Next time, I'll try to watch Ruru-san's and Emi-san's streams a little more.

[It's so unusual for Haru-chan to respond to comments like this]

[Let me hear more of your voice...]

[She talked quite a bit the other day, didn't she?]

[That was Ruru-chan's fault, so it doesn't count]

[That's right, it's good manners in this industry to pretend you didn't see anything related to Ruru-chan]

[So it's all going back to Ruru-chan in the end...?]

[Ah, everything revolves around Ruru-chan.]

[Ruru-chan...]

[lol]

[When Ruru-chan fell, countless girls had their skirts pulled down and countless men had their pants pulled down...]

[All while she's stillstreaming]

[That's because she really wasn't aiming for it... and besides, far from being hated, she was pitied.]

[The streaming feature automatically blurs out anything that seems sensitive, so it's fine...]

[Hey, it's Haru-chan's stream. Ruru-chan's misfortune should be told in Ruru-chan's stream.]

[That's right]

[Sorry]

[It's find]

[So kind]

[But it's a collab, so it's basically the same stream...]

[It seems like Ruru-chan is going to send something to me like the other day...]

[I'm a little scared to comment on Ruru-chan's strean...]

[Understandable]

I can read the comments, but they are moving very fast.

Just as I was wondering what to do, my detection skill noticed a familiar presence.

"Oh, Ruru-san is coming."

[Is Ruru-chan late?]

[The stream itself seems to have just started, so maybe Haru-chan was just early?]

[But it's Ruru-chan, right?]

[Oh, she's late, probably fell and got lost somewhere]

[Involving someone else]

[She's not a bad kid... She's just unlucky...]

[lol]

"...Sorry to keep you waiting, Haru-chan!!"

A little while later, Ruru-san comes running, dressed in a matching outfit.

It's a matching one piece.

When I asked her, "Won't that make it difficult to fight?" She said, "Just tie a belt around your waist and wear leggings and you'll be fine!"

Hmm... I don't really understand girls' feelings.

I wonder if just having one more layer of fabric around your butt or hips can really make you feel that much more secure...

[Ruru-chan is cute!]

[Ah, that's good...]

[A lively girl in elegant outfit...]

[Just wear the straw hat]

[Take off the tights]

[Put it on]

[Make it into sandals]

[... If she didn't say anything else, she'd be a man's ideal girl!]

[Hey, something important is missing]

[Yes, she need breasts too.]

[lol]

[Well, when I say cliff, I mean Ruru-chan's baby face, back when she was in elementary school...]

"Oh, that's right. While I can't show my face..."

Since I had the chance, I lifted the camera off my head so that it only captured my feet.

... Ruru-san is there, so be careful, be careful.

Because Ruru-san is there, there's a chance that by some amazing miracle my face will be captured on camera, so I'll have to be careful...

[Footy!!!]

[Cute sitting child]

[I want to be stepped on by those legs]

[Matching dresses...so cute...]

[Ahh... (death of respect)]

[So precious]

[Is this a lily?]

[They seem to be really good friends... in other words, they're yuri...!]

[Is it the same as this one? It's a reasonable price to match Haru-chan <URL>]

[\15000]

[\20000]

[I'll go buy it later \5000]

[Already added to cart]

[XLR seems fine!]

[What would a man do with this?]

[Want to hear it?]

[I don't want to hear it...]

[I'll tell you]

[I said I don't want to hear it...]

[lol]

[My eyes, which had been purified by seeing Ruru-chan and Haru-chan's legs, have now been polluted! What are you going to do about it?]

[lol]

[ ]

[Oh no... Anego is...!]

[She looks like a corpse]

[Well, well, if you think of it as a shota cross-dressing...]

[!!! You're right!!! That's awesome!!!]

[Anego, you came back in an instant lol]

[Damn, Anego's comrade has a look on their face like, "A cross-dressing shota?!"]

[It's all over...]

[lol]

Ruru-san is now standing in front of me.

Today she's carrying a proper weapon - a normal sword.

Well, that time was just an abnormal situation, and this girl seems to be good at fighting usually...

"Fuuh... I'm really sorry about the other day! I sent you something weird!"

"I'm not really in danger, so it's fine."

Ah, so she's aware that she sent something weird?

"So let's work hard on the collaboration!"

"Please keep it moderate."

That's right, if you get too excited then something might happen again.

[The camera is on top of Haru-chan's head, so we can see Ruru-chan's bust up!]

[Bust... is there one?]

[No, I don't think so...]

[If it's not there, it's not there...]

[There is nothing there]

[There's no sense of depth...]

[She doesn't even have breasts...]

[lol]

[Ruru-chan, it's a cliff...]

[Who's bigger, Ruru-chan or Haru-chan?]

"Come on! You guys are doing it again! I'm still growing, you know!"

[I don't think that's possible]

[That's impossible...]

[You're in yout second year of high school, right? That means... already...]

[How can Ruru-chan grow from here?]

[I guess she can only pray to the curse]

[I feel like she's like this because of the curse]

[Please spare her the negativity]

[I see... this is nothingness... the imaginary realm...]

[lol]

Ah, it feels like they're teasing her chest again.

Hmm, "teasing her chest" sounds so inappropriate.

But to what extent is it okay for girls her age to talk about these sorts of things?

It seems like a recurring theme, so I wonder if Ruru-san is okay with this?

I never had that kind of conversation with girls when I was a student, so I have no idea.

[But look, there is a slight bulge and shadow on the skin.]

[You're kidding!?]

[Ruruu-chan is not pleased with the close-up of her chest lol]

...But I feel a little sorry for her.

It's something like that, right?

If you were a guy, you'd probably be told things like, "You're so short" or "Your thing is so tiny", right?

...When I think about it like that, I kind of want to give her some support.

Well, we're the same sex now, right?

"It's okay Ruru-san."

"Haru-chan! Call me Ruru-chanー"

Because I'll give you a proper testimony.

"I saw it in the bath, but it's not as flat as people say."

"Hyaaah?!"

[!?]

[!?!?!]

[Huh?]

[Eh?]

[Bath]

[Bath]

[Haru-chan and Ruru-chan are taking a bath together!?]

"...Ah."

Ah.

… It's not okay for me to tell them that... Is it...?
