Provocative-Style Game Streamer (20 years old) Accidentally Reveals His Kind Personality Due To Forgetting To End The Stream. - Chapter 18: Aya’s Morning.

Aya’s Morning.

“Gah…!?”

The next morning, Aya, still wearing her pajamas with a bedhead, widened her eyes as she looked at her phone after turning off the alarm.

In an instant, drowsiness flew away, and she let out a surprised voice resembling a squashed frog.

“W-What’s happening…?”

What caught Aya’s attention were the overflowing notifications from notifications from Twitter, exceeding the display limit, and 13 DMs that could only be sent by mutual followers.

She had experienced a similar number of notifications before, but it was when she collaborated with famous streamers or achieved good results in tournaments.

However, this time, she hadn’t done anything noteworthy, which is why those words flashed through her mind.

“T-This… Am I being criticized…? Did that viewer spread something…?”

There were two possible reasons for the criticism.

First, she had teamed up with Oni-chan, who was also in the top predator rank, and wreaked havoc in the Platinum rank with her alternate account.

For Aya, who belonged to a professional team, this was something that deserved condemnation.

And second, playing games privately with Oni-chan.

Aya’s content, where male viewers accounted for more than 80%, would easily cause a backlash at the mere mention of a male presence.

This incident was unintentional.

The trouble arose because Haruto, whom she had met in real life, turned out to be Oni-chan, of all people.

Considering the circumstances, there was likely room for consideration. It should be something forgivable, but it wouldn’t end so easily in this industry.

“Ugh… I really didn’t mean any harm…”

For Aya, who earned her living and school fees through streaming, being criticized was the most frightening thing.

She wanted to forget about this reality immediately. However, as a streamer, she had to fulfill her responsibilities.

“I need to check the content…”

Summoning her courage, Aya approached the screen with trembling fingers, closed her eyes, and tapped the notification tab.

“Ah!”

And then, she realized that her previous anxiety had been groundless.

“Ayaya is the best, as expected! Keep doing your best from now on!”

“I’ll keep supporting you! Yay!”

“Truly my Ayaya!”

“I’ve grown to like you even more!”

“…”

Aya rubbed her eyes upon reading those comments, but she wasn’t hallucinating.

The notification tab was still filled with words of praise.

“W-What’s happening here…?”

It was natural for her to be unable to keep up with the situation.

Without doing anything and without even realizing it, her popularity was unexpectedly rising.

To find out more about the details, she continued to scroll through the notifications.

“I found the URL to Ayaya being praised during Oni-chan’s stream yesterday!”

Finally, Aya discovered the reason behind it all.

“Hmm!? Oni-chan praised me…!? During his livestream!?”

It was unexpectedly delightful content.

Aya instinctively clicked on the URL she found and played the video while checking the comments.

At the top was a summary written by viewers.

05:27 – Oni-chan’s question time.

07:13 – Interaction with his little sister.

09:10 – Oni-chan gets angry.

Following those entries…

10:49 – Oni-chan praises Ayaya #1.

14:10 – Oni-chan praises Ayaya #2.

17:41 – Oni-chan mentions Ayaya #1.

18:20 – Oni-chan mentions Ayaya #2.

Though there were many interesting contents, what concerned her the most was the part about herself.

“…”

When she clicked on 10:49, the voice that immediately played was unmistakably Oni-chan’s voice.

“To be honest, I have no reason to criticize her… She’s amazing, really. I mean, her channel has, what, 300,000 subscribers…? Oh, wait, now it’s around 340,000. Despite the considerable difference between us, she never looked down on me, and she treated me kindly even though I’m just me. I genuinely think she’s a good person. So it’s no wonder she has so many fans, and I hope she continues to grow.”

Then, it seemed like he noticed the viewers’ comments and hurriedly added:

“W-Well, in the end, I’ll just use someone like her as a stepping stone to get what I want. So, you better support me, guys.”

“Uwaa, what are you saying…”

Aya couldn’t help but comment back, and then she clicked on “Praises #2” at 14:10.

“Oni-chan, please tell us what you find amazing about Ayaya-san from a streamer’s perspective…? Well, she’s always coming up with ways not to bore the viewers. During her streams, she’s constantly doing something, right? Even with her channel growing big, she’s still conscious of the viewers, and that’s why I think she’s doing so well. Unlike me.”

“Even you’re conscious of it…”

Next was 17:41.

“Tell us what you find cute about Ayaya…? Sorry, but I can’t find anything cute about her. I don’t think about those things while playing games.”

“…”

Finally, at 18:20.

“What do you like about Ayaya? Hey, don’t think you can get an answer for anything just by throwing money. I don’t have any favorite things about her.”

“…”

Regarding these two responses, Oni-chan’s typical mannerisms were on full display.

Many viewers wrote comments like, “That’s not true!” “That’s harsh, lol,” “Are you serious?”, but Aya had a different reaction.

She narrowed her eyes and showed a pleased expression.

“Thank you, Haruto-san…”

Aya was filled with gratitude for his actions. As fellow streamers, they understood each other well.

He knew how to draw the line when giving compliments.

Regarding the last two questions, they were not about them as streamers but about “how they feel about each other as individuals of the opposite sex.”

If he had answered with something like “She is cute” or “I like her,” rumors would naturally start spreading.

Oni-chan was seeking a connection, making an appeal to Ayaya.

When such rumors spread, Ayaya’s male fans would become annoyed with Oni-chan. Some might even dislike him, and conflicts could arise among the viewers. Collaborations would become difficult, and they would have to keep their distance to continue their own streams.

The reason the relationship between the two streamers was well-received by their audiences was that the premise was “they don’t see each other as potential romantic interests.”

Oni-chan was careful not to cross that line.

“He’s really cool, isn’t he…”

She muttered, initially prepared for her impression to worsen.

Perhaps because the morning sun was touching her body, her chest felt warm and her cheeks turned red.

“Hehe, but that’s enough praise for now… I’ll have to ask him about it later. He said something mean to me after all.”

Aya murmured happily with a sense of enjoyment.
