Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 71: A Free Broadcast

Chapter 71: A Free Broadcast

On the day Kinoshita Yuuto was admitted to the hospital, the world was abuzz with a particular piece of news.

“Hello everyone! It’s Toudou Satoru! I’m starting my journey as a video content creator today!”

Toudou Satoru, a well-known idol, has started his career as a video content creator. He doesn’t sing or dance, but his popularity has skyrocketed through his appearances on variety shows and other TV programs.

With his good looks, cuteness, and appeal to a younger audience, it was no surprise that he gained over 30 million subscribers on his first day and his videos reached 500 million views.

But that’s not all.

Satoru has an indispensable presence in his life.

【Mad Runner】Grauzer

Is he a hero or a villain? The Grauzer from the game and the Grauzer in real life. His character is all over the place, but he has embraced this with a carefree attitude.

He is more popular than Satoru in the male population.

No amount of money can buy his media appearances, and even direct appeals to the company Libsys have become ineffective. Since he set a record in a full marathon, the difficulty of challenging him has increased, and even if the conditions for appearing on the show “Paradise Escape” were met, it would be questionable whether anyone could beat him.

In fact, the number of people who want to challenge him has decreased drastically just by the fact that he can run a full marathon.

In a strange turn of events, the only way to get Grauzer to appear is for Toudou Satoru to kidnap him.

He is handsome, cute, and young, but more importantly, he is able to call on Grauzer.

Also, Satoru looks the happiest when he is spending time with Grauzer.

Satoru has entrusted everything to him.

How do you keep someone who wants to disappear from disappearing.

The initial surge in subscribers on the first day included fans of Grauzer (men).

Satoru’s channel has become a channel that carries the expectations of everyone.

However, without any warning, he suddenly became a hermit.

He should have taken a great step forward, but for some reason, he had stumbled.

The public was wondering, “Why?” But everyone came to the same conclusion.

“Grauzer, what are you up to now?”

They were angry that he was neglecting his younger brother, who had become a hermit.

The public was furious.

And it was terrifying.

Some people went as far as to directly appeal to Libsys.

All websites related to Grauzer were vandalized.

Even his rare merchandise was thrown away (although no one witnessed this, as the merchandise was taken away, so it couldn’t be disposed of).

Despite being a man, he was hated by women, and the phrase “Grauzer, die” trended on various SNS platforms.

However, on the fourth day, Satoru suddenly went to the hospital in his private helicopter.

Why?

Is he ill? No, that’s not it.

Is he visiting someone? Who?

Come to think of it, there’s someone who hasn’t been active… Oh!

The public realized.

It was the moment that the battle between the antis and the fans ended.

And then,

“Hello, it’s Toudou Satoru! I’m sorry for going into hiding without any word for a few days! But I’m okay now! Today, we’re going to have a live broadcast to apologize for my absence! Let’s have a good time!”

The live broadcast began with the same smile as when he made his first post a few days ago.

“Today, I’ve invited a guest… I mean, I’ve invaded their space! Oh, but it will take a little more time.”

It’s good, but the problem is the location. White walls, white ceiling, white floor, and most importantly, a hospital bed.

Satoru could be seen behind Grauzer, who was sitting cross-legged.

“The morning check-up is done – oh, and they gave me this mask to wear before I came into the room, what’s this for?”

“Yes, we’re live! Come over here!”

“Huh? When did you become a video content creator?”

“On the day Grauzer was admitted to hospital.”

“…”

Grauzer, dressed in a hospital gown, entered the room.

Then, the words “check-up” and “admission” were spoken, and everyone understood that Grauzer (the person inside the suit) had been hospitalized due to some kind of incident.

“So, my guest is Grauzer!”

“What can I say? I’m sorry for not keeping in touch. It was sudden.”

“Hospitalization is usually sudden, isn’t it?”

“…. I guess so.”

“Well, excuse me!”

“You really like to lean on people, don’t you?”

“Only Grauzer and my mother.”

“I get goosebumps.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Satoru sat on Grauzer’s knee, leaning against him. Satoru kept smiling, while Grauzer complained, but his attitude was one of acceptance, as if to say, “I have to put up with this guy.”

“So, in the end, we’re going to play a game.”

“Well, last time I only did the introductions, and it’s lonely playing the game by myself and talking to myself alone.”

“…. I see.”

“So, we’re going to play a dating game!”

“Why did you choose that one?”

“I like to mix things up sometimes! Also, the polls showed that a lot of people wanted to see this.”

“I’m surprised Haruki-san gave her permission.”

“I begged her, and she said yes!”

“She’s easy to convince, isn’t she?”

“But I want to play this dating game while asking Grauzer, the love specialist, for advice on love!”

“Huh?”

“Grauzer is a love specialist!”

“Don’t set the bar too high.”

And so, a bizarre live broadcast began, with two men playing a dating game.

“Why are we trying to conquer a male character? Usually, it’s a female character, right?”

“I told you, Grauzer is a love specialist! That means he’s an expert in love, regardless of age, gender, or background!”

“So?”

“So, even a game character from Libsys must be easy for you!!”

“What about my right to refuse?”

“There’s no such thing.”

They continued to pursue the male character.

The information that was being shared was so far beyond the realm of normalcy that the viewers were completely lost.

Should they be happy about this? Yes, they should be happy.

And indeed, they were able to provide good avices and the character’s popularity increased steadily.

“Oh, I’ve been stabbed by everyone!”

“…. So it’s the yandere route.”

Since there was a yandere route, they went straight for it without hesitation.

“I’m getting hungry.”

“Oh, it’s lunchtime. Okay then.”

“I want some monjayaki! Bring it to me!”

“No, go home.”

“Grauzer is so cold.”

“The smell will fill the room. Hey, hey, hey, don’t bring a hotplate! When did this male ward become a monjayaki all-you-can-eat restaurant?”

“Grauzer!”

“What is it?”

“How about we move to another room later?”

“Shut up, you selfish, cruel boy!”

“Oh, that’s mean! You piece of trash!”

Such a free live broadcast continued until the evening.

Then, Kinoshita Yuuto was moved to another room.

Interestingly, Toudou Satoru’s live broadcasts were held every day until Kinoshita Yuuto was discharged from the hospital.

The public was filled with joy, but his family couldn’t hide their dissatisfaction.
