Provocative-Style Game Streamer (20 years old) Accidentally Reveals His Kind Personality Due To Forgetting To End The Stream.

The Day It Started To Get Together (3)

“…”

After the two returned to the lobby screen, they fell silent.

It wasn’t because they felt guilty for not defeating any enemies.

“Um, um… Oni-chan?”

“N-no, what is it, Ayaya-san? No, it’s Shirayuki-san.”

Yes, they were in a situation where they both knew each other’s true identity.

“Um… How do you feel right now?”

“Huh? No matter what feelings you ask about, my mind can’t keep up. I mean, this is statistically impossible… streamers meeting in real life?”

“I’m not asking about that! Something else!”

“Something else?”

“You know, what we talked about before… You don’t remember? If you forgot, it’s totally fine…”

“What? Are you saying it in person?”

“Ahh, geez! You do remember after all!”

With a veiled intention, Aya’s emotions exploded for a moment.

“It’s not something you can forget in just a few days.”

“Uuhhh! Don’t say it anymore!! I won’t say it anymore!”

“Haha…”

No one had ever heard Ayaya so flustered before. Haruto, who was present at this moment, was the first to witness it.

“Ahh, it’s over… My life is over… Why did I ever ask someone I’m interested in for relationship advice!? I’m such an idiot…”

“You were sneakily dissing me… ‘Someone I’m interested in’? Not just a friend?”

“…”

“Huh?! You mean it’s really that?!”

“U-uhh, nooo! My face is turning all red… I won’t be able to face Haruto-san anymore…”

Haruto was also in a perplexing situation. He was thinking about what he should say when Aya made a move.

“Why, why is Oni-chan working at a cafe?! Wouldn’t you earn more from ad revenue!?”

“W-well, that’s true, but my streaming is mainly about hype, so it’s not surprising if ads get suspended, you know? In fact, I’ve been warned by the platform…”

“Ehh?”

If someone’s livelihood relies solely on streaming, their income would instantly drop to zero if ads were suspended. If that happened, Yuno would worry, and she might not be able to focus on her studies.

To prevent that, Haruto had a backup plan, a second pillar.

“But you know, such coincidences can happen… It might be more remarkable than winning the lottery.”

“Hey, hey… By trying to divert the topic and care about me like that, you don’t have to say it anymore.”

“Hmm?”

“I-I… It’s not like I like you, Haruto-san! I just have a crush on you! Got it!?”

“I know that. That’s why I’m so calm about it.”

Even though Haruto calmly consoled Aya in his usual voice, his ears were tinted crimson.

As he scratched his cheek, he desperately tried to hide his embarrassment.

“If, if that’s the case, then it’s fine, right? Oh, and promise me this will be an absolute secret! Indirectly, you know about me… that…”

“I already know that.”

“Um, well then, that’s good…”

With a changed tone, Aya went on to say the following:

“Um… Oni-chan, I’m going to change the subject here, but is there any possibility of us getting caught up in a controversy?”

“Yeah… I was thinking the same thing.”

Both of them were not unfamiliar with the streaming industry. Their thoughts aligned.

“To be honest, we should be prepared for it. Depending on how our ally reveals the information, the fact that two top Predator-ranked players were in a party with Platinum-ranked players is problematic. And if it’s discovered that Ayaya and I have met in real life and have such a close relationship, Ayaya’s viewers, especially the male fans, might get angry…”

In this industry, fans attach themselves to the personalities behind the streams. If they were mistakenly seen as a couple, it would be game over. Viewers might drift away and turn into haters, launching attacks.

And the way things unfolded, no one would believe the truth behind it, even if they were told the whole process. The probability of such a situation occurring was astronomical.

“Well, don’t worry, Shirayuki-san. I’ll definitely protect you. If necessary, I can claim I coerced you into it.”

“What?!”

“This is all my fault. If I hadn’t shown this alternate account on the stream, none of this would have happened.”

“N-no, that’s not true! I have a responsibility for this too!”

“No, no, that’s hindsight. I’m the one who caused the problem in the first place, so all the responsibility lies with me.”

Haruto showed his determination to protect Aya while taking responsibility and being prepared to retire from streaming if needed.

Just then, Oimo_daisukiyo received a message on their account.

“This is the ally from earlier. Thank you so much for today! Ihist was an honor to play together with you both.”

The message continued:

“Now to the main point. I’m sure you both had some troubles today, but I have no intention of spreading it anywhere, so don’t worry. If there’s anything I’d spread, it would be about you, the fans… (LOL) Anyway, I wish you both the best in your future endeavors. It’s a change of seasons, so take good care of yourselves. Sorry for the long message.”

With this message, Haruto realized everything.

“…Ah, Shirayuki-san, it seems like the controversy won’t be an issue. But, in the end, it’s still going to be me who bears the brunt of it.”

A mixture of relief and a sense of impending danger filled his emotions.

Several hours later, an edited video was posted on social media.

【Encounter with Oni-chan in Platinum Rank! Oni-chan’s Secret Exposed! (With Voice)】

The title was designed to catch attention…

“You, you really figured out that this was my alternate account…”

“That happened over a year ago! The video has already been deleted.”

“Oh, right… It’s my first time using this account. They noticed it was my sub-account. It was back when I only had about a hundred subscribers.”

“I’ve been watching since you had around 100 subscribers!”

“Since then?! Wow, seriously, thank you. That makes me happy.”

The streamer expressed gratitude to the viewers…

“Hey, um… I have one request for you.”

“What is it?”

“Could you write in the chat something like ‘It was just my imagination!’ or ‘It was a mistake!’ about me being Oni-chan? This account is important to me, and I can’t afford to get exposed.”

“Important?”

“Don’t tell anyone about this… This account’s name was created as a pun on ‘potato’ and ‘little sister’ (Oimo_daisukiyo).”

“Oh, it had that meaning?! That sounds like you’re really a siscon!”

“Well, whatever! Anyway, please do it for this reason! Okay?”

“Sure, I will!”

“Great!”

The streamer asked the viewers for this favor…

The video was carefully edited. Ayaya’s alternate account ID was covered with a mosaic, so her presence was entirely hidden.

In contrast, Oni-chan’s part was specially treated…

To avoid complete identification, the ‘yo’ in ‘Oimo_daisukiyo’ had a mosaic added.

As a result, the ID with a strong message changed…

From a joking ‘I love you lots’ to a sincere ‘I love you!’
