Ch.36 Collab Stream "The RuruHaru Duo!" 6

There's something about talking to people at your own pace and doing what you like that warms you up.

I usually don't talk to anyone, but sometimes things like this happen.

So even though my mouth is getting tired, I'm still having a little bit of fun.

"Oh, this dungeon isn't that deep. It's already the boss floor."

"That's true..."

"Ruru-san, are you okay?"

"I'm ookayyy..."

"Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"………………………………"

Ruru-san seems a bit depressed.

…Maybe she couldn't sleep last night?

[Haru-chan... please go easy on her...]

[Poor Ruru-chan...]

[Poor thing]

[How pitiful...]

[Has there ever been a stream where Ruru-chan looked this pitiful?]

[Isn't this the first time since the crazy one last time?]

[Yeah, that was just recently.]

[Totally pitiful…]

[Isn't she like this from the start?It'[

[It's gotten even worse, you know?]

[Poor thing]

[Poor thing]

[Poor Ruru-chan...]

[Seriously pitiful]

[lol]

Compared to her usual streams -- which I've only watched two or three times -- she looks extremely tired.

Did she pace herself wrong?

That's not okay, right?

The vanguard is the one who needs to manage his stamina, right?

[Haru-chan probably doesn't really understand]

[Well, she is a little girl after all...]

[If she's a legal loli, she could be almost the same age as Ruru-chan]

[Yeah... this time I think she's an actual loli...]

[Her Mental age is too young]

[It suits her body]

[There are some things that even Haru-chan can't do]

[Rather, it seems like it's clear what she can do and what she can't do]

[If she's interested, she seems amazing in terms of dungeon strategy skills]

[Both the skill tree and the PvP tree are completely sharp.]

[If she's not interested, she'll probably end up treating it like she did to Ruru-chan just now]

[How pitiful...]

[lol]

According to Emi-san's message, this dungeon is shallow, with only 10 levels.

Apparently she chose a course that was at a decent level but not particularly deep, as she was worried about it turning out like the last time.

It seems to be a fairly popular place, and it seems like it would be a good place to meet up for a party after school or work for around 2 hours, so I guess the risk and reward are balanced.

Everyone is concentrating on those kinds of places so I avoided them.

So the agency's decision to choose this place was a wise one.

That's because, for some reason, Ruru-san looks so tired.

It's obviously strange compared to her usual stuff.

I'm sure something happened and Emi-san, who seems to have been her long-time friend, made the decision in advance.

When we get home, let's call her "Hentai-san."

I'm sure she'll be pleased, just like the people here.

[This whole journey was miserable...]

[Yeah……]

[Haru-chan really did everything by herself...]

[R-Ruru-chan was also trying to liven up the mood...]

[First, Haru-chan shoots wildly]

[Nearby enemies will almost always die.]

[Ruru-chan crouches down and stands up in unison with Haru-chan]

[Ruru-chan realized she doesn't have a job]

[Pitiful face]

[They both get up and busily pick up the drops]

[Meanwhile, Haru-chan fires at the monsters that react and come charging towards them]

[Enemies far away will also die]

[Ruru-chan realized she doesn't have a job]

[Two people split up to pick up the drops]

[Continue the loop]

[Finally, one or two monsters start to appear, and Ruru-chan puts up a quick fight before Haru-chan comes on with a bang]

[Ruru-chan realized she only has a little bit of work left]

[Poor thing]

[And then they picked up some more drops]

[Halfway through, Ruru-chan took the initiative and started picking up the drops by herself]

[lol]

[Once again, I feel sorry for her]

[...Yeah, Ruru-chan did her best]

[She tried really hard]

[She did great]

[This shooting girl... why...]

I was concerned about Ruru, who had her eyes downcast, so before I knew it, I was often the one to talk to her, which was the opposite of usual.

"I'm sorry, Ruru-san."

"No, it's fine."

"Ruru-san has really bad luck."

"Yeah, bad luck."

[lol]

[Ruru-chan, she stopped listening...]

[Maybe: she's more tired than when she fight normally]

[She's more tired than she would be if she was to get into trouble with a trap.]

[Poor thing]

[Huh? But, something feels strange...]

[Now that you mention it, that's true...]

[What could it be...?]

"Maybe because you defeated the enemies approaching you first, you didn't fall for the trap. I'm glad you weren't called unlucky."

"Yeah, that's right. ………………………………, hmm?"

Ah, feeling a bit better?

I guess you have to talk to them when dealing with girls after all.

"Today, it was a good idea to guide you so you wouldn't step into any obvious traps, just to be on the safe side."

"Hmm? ...Hmm?"

[Huh?]

【Eh?】

【Huh?】

[No no, guiding someone out of a trap...seriously?]

[...Haru-chan doesn't joke around, right?]

[Because she's an airhead]

[If anything,she won't even talk about it.]

[Yeah, she won't]

[Haru-chan wouldn't say something like that]

[It wouldn't even come up in her mind]

[She's definitely someone you can trust.]

["Lying" and "deceiving" are words that are the least associated with Haru-chan.]

[She's an airhead so you can rest assured!]

[lol]

[Haru-chan is trusted in a negative way]

Today was actually the first time that I went diving with Ruru.

That time?

That time when I got called for rescue was different...

So, she seemed to be acting strange today, so I've been keeping an eye on her since the beginning.

...Then, for some reason, Ruru-san always tries to step through places where there are traps...Seriously, why?

I know that, but... that's what everyone calls "The Curse."

From what I've observed, she is always paying attention to her surroundings and keeping her feet on the ground.

...But for some reason, I always find her drawn to that place... Curses are scary.

I'm glad I don't have that.

…No, it's precisely because I didn't have that that I ended up becoming a little girl like this, and got fired from a job that was fairly comfortable for me…

By the way, it seems the misunderstanding about the company has been cleared up, and I won't be fired for not going to school, or rather to work.

Thank you.

Now I can go back to work...huh?

As a young girl... isn't it impossible for me to get a job?

…………………………………….

…It's fine, I think I can make a living just by conquering dungeons and streaming.

"...Haru-chan? Umm, what do you mean, guiding?"

"Eh? Ah... Ruru-san, please stand there."

She still seemed a little confused, so I guided her to a place where she could easily find.

"Eh? Uh, yeah..."

"Just walk straight from there."

"Um, well... yes..."

[...I know she can see traps because of her scouting skills, but...]

[Haru-chan, she didn't show any signs of using it, did she...?]

[Yeah, she was just shooting stuff wildly]

[lol]

[Oh, but now that I think about it, when they're not in battle, she often calls out "go right there" or "go left"... is that not to avoid friendly fire, but maybe...]

[Right? During battle, it was "please move to the side" or "don't move there", right?]

"... We've arrived, Haru-chan."

"Then please don't move for now."

I felt like something was missing today, and then I remembered that I hadn't collected stones at the beginning.

I walked around a few steps, picked up a few rocks, and...

"I'm going to make some noise."

"Uh, okay... wha?!"

Whoosh.

Crash.

A painful sound.

When I threw a stone about 40 centimeters to either side of Ruru, one would shoot a poisonous arrow and the other would snap and bare its fangs.

I was sure the direction of the trap was safe so no one would get hurt, but it was still a surprise.

[Huh?]

[There's a trap!?]

[There it is! A trap!]

[Isn't that a bit lethal?]

[Eh……]

"Ruru-san is very obedient, so it was easy to lead you."

Yeah, this kid is a good kid.

"I, I see...Thanks..."

She wasn't that surprised because I explained it to her properly.

Yeah, I guess reporting, communicating, and consulting is important after all.

[Her honesty is praised even by airheaded little girls]

[For better or worse, Ruru-chan is used to being told what to do.]

[Thanks to Emi Okaa-san!]

[Yeah, that must be it]

[Thanks to Emi-chan, we were able to prevent a major disaster, but...Haru-chan went even further...?]

"...Haru-chan. Has this been happening... since the beginning?"

"Yes. Ruru-san, if I leave you alone, you will always head towards a trap."

"Huh?"

"Do you actually want to step into a trap?"

"That's not true... it hurts every time, and it's embarrassing..."

[lol]

[Ah... so that's why, unlike the usual case where she falls or step on a trap, she didn't fall even once today...]

[Eh? So if Haru-chan is with her, Ruru-chan, will you have graduated from being a clumsy girl?]

[She's not so much a clumsy girl as she's an unlucky person.]

[So the weakness of the curse is an airhead...!]

[Isn't it more of a scouting skill?]

[At least I understand that Ruruharu is justice]

[Understandable]

Ruru-san is staring blankly at the traces of the trap at her feet.

Yeah, it's scary, that sort of thing.

"When you're with me, I can protect you from traps, so you'll be fine."

"……………………………………"

Muu.

She's feeling weird again... I wonder why.

"When we get home you can do whatever you want with my hair."

Even if I throw sweet candy at her, she just hardens.

This girl would usually react at this.

[Hmm?]

【Just now】

[She said whatever]

[To Ruru-chan]

[So when they get home, there will be a yuri situation?]

[For the sake of the Anego, I'll call it a onee shota situation]

[You're a nice person. Check your mailbox later.]

[Huh?]

[lol]

[That line sounds like a crime threat.]

[Eh... Scary...]

[Shouldn't we report this...?]

"Heeeey."

Ruru-san seems to have frozen, so I'll get closer.

... Is she seriously scared?

"Are you okay?"

"…………Yeah"

"Really? Wanna use the wristbands?"

"... No. It's okay because Haru-chan is here."

"Well, if you need anything please let me know."

[So precious]

[Teetee]

[Haru-chan's voice sounds like she's genuinely worried about Ruru-chan...]

[The kindness that comes through from Haru-chan, who doesn't seem to be able to think deeply]

[So kind]

[Good kid]

[But, I thought that since she was a solo ranger, she had some skill in detecting traps... but she avoided them all so far, right?]

[Amazing]

[Does this mean the agency won't let Haru-chan go?]

[No, if we keep doing this, Ruru-chan's misfortune will be completely erased and we won't get any good footage.]

[Ahh... Ruru-chan's identity is crumbling...]

[Ruru-chan's training policy is reaching a critical stage...]

[lol]

[Bad news: Ruru-chan loses her personality]

[Well, it's a good thing for Ruru-chan...]

[Yeah, she almost died once.]

"ーYeah. I love you."

[!?]

[Eek!]

[What was that voice just now?]

[It's scary]

"? is that so"

She does the love calls that she's said to me every day.

I guess she just likes me as a little sister, so I don't really mind.

[That's strange, maybe I'm hearing it wrong... Ruru-chan's voice sounds gruff...]

[It was the kind of voice that Ruru-chan probably wouldn't make...]

[...You see, I had this yandere of a girlfriend that time.]

[Oh? Are you trying to pick a fight with all the viewers?]

[It's okay, I ran away when she tried to force me to drink her blood. No, I was put in there for quite a while, but... I can't do it directly, no matter what...]

[lol]

[It's scary]

[...So, the way Ruru-chan felt like right now, is the way my girlfriend felt like back then...oh, did I forgot to lock the front d]

[Eh?]

[Hey, don't stop there!]

[He stopped replying...]

[Maybe: The curse summoned his yandere girlfriend]

[Eh... Scary...]

[I can't even talk carelessly anymore lol]

[Isn't the accuracy of the curse crazy good? Or rather, has the causal effect not converged yet?]

[The words that the curse catches, is the curse tracing it back through time and space...?]

[This stream is crazy...]

[It's scary]

[Scary but I'm curious + it's too interesting to leave]

[It's heaven!]

"Ruru-san? Are you hungry?"

"No... It's nothing."

"is that so"

This kid has extreme mood swings.

I feel like it happens sometimes in hotels too... but it's not harmful so I just leave it alone.

"But I'd be in trouble if something were to happen to Ruru-san, so I'll defeat the boss now."

It would be a problem if we were to be attacked.

"Yeah…… Huh?"

ーBang.

This is the final attack on today's trip.

The rest is just to go back, so there probably won't be that many monsters, so it'll be quick.

[Eh?]

[Oh, I forgot, this was the boss floor]

[lol]

[All the viewers forgot about it]

[Well, there's just so much information...]

"We were standing just far enough away that the boss wouldn't wake up in response to the intrusion, so I killed it while it was asleep."

"E-Eh?"

"It's okay now."

"R-Really...?"

[Eh……]

[Bad news: Finally, even the boss can be headshot]

[And while asleep]

[And off-screen]

[Poor boss-chan]

[Her method is completely incompatible with streaming lol]

[Emi-chan... buy Haru-chan a good camera... one that can see clearly even in the dark... otherwise there won't be any highlights...]

[Or maybe we could have experienced staff or other members of the agency take charge of the cameras...]

A moment later, there was a loud thud.

"It was just a big Chicken-san, so I think Ruru-san would have been fine on her own, but... I just wanted to be sure."

"T-thanks..."

[Chicken-san]

[Cute]

[...Chicken? isn't that]

[Cockatrice?!]

[Cockatrice has poison and petrification abilities, so isn't it the worst matchup for close-combat Ruru-chan?]

[So that's why she did a one-hit kill with a headshot from a long distance?]

[Do you think Haru-chan thought that far?]

[No? That's impossible.]

[That's definitely not possible]

[I can say that with certainty]

[lol]

[Even though it was a dangerous monster, it was sucked in by Haru-chan's airheadedness lol]

"Well then, let's go home after we pick up the drops and the treasure chest."

"... You're right..."

[Oh, Ruru-chan's eyes! Her eyes!]

[She's only been staring at Haru-chan this whole time and it's scary]

[Ruru-chan... look at the camera... no, I guess not now...]

[And the highlight is completely...is this what they call highlight off?]

[... Ruru-chan, did some kind of switch flipped after Haru-chan saved her again?]

[It certainly seems that way...]

[Hey, if you say something bad, something will happen.]

[Eh, scary]

[…There are a lot of things that are crazy about this stream.]

[Yeah]

[After all, that Fukaya Ruru didn't experience any misfortune even once.]

[That's what you mean!?]

[lol]
