Provocative-Style Game Streamer (20 years old) Accidentally Reveals His Kind Personality Due To Forgetting To End The Stream. - Chapter 9: By Chance.

By Chance.

“Stop misunderstanding! This is not about me; it’s about my friend! I could only give normal advice about my friend’s situation, so I’m in a bit of a bind!”

Ayaya sent such a message and immediately followed up with another one without pausing.

“Heyy? What should I do?”

“I don’t even have all the information yet… you haven’t told me everything…”

“Oh! Right, right.”

The messages came in with the same energy as when she was streaming.

“Huh, Ayaya-san is truly amazing… She may act like a streamer, but not everyone can create such a close connection with people,” Haruto thought.

Ayaya manages her channel solely through streaming and has become a popular female streamer with 300,000 subscribers in just one year. As they continue to communicate, Haruto slowly begins to understand the secrets behind her popularity.

“But before that, why did you choose me as your confidant? I never said I would listen to your problems, yet here we are with this flow,” Haruto inquired.

“Well, hypothetically speaking! Even if it weren’t my friend’s story, Oni-chan could spread it around, right? I know some of Oni-chan’s secrets too,” Ayaya replied.

“I see.”

If someone like Oni-chan, who is known to listen to others’ problems, were to divulge this information, it would be a big blow to Ayaya. So, she must have a compelling reason for choosing Haruto.

“It’s probably safest to consult someone in real life, but I wonder if Ayaya-san has anyone to rely on… She seems to have a lot of friends,” Haruto thought, but he knew it was taboo to pry into someone’s private life in this industry. He would keep his curiosity to himself.

“Okay, back to the main topic. Which person is your friend interested in, Ayaya-san?” Haruto asked.

“Well, you see! There’s this cafe staff member who seems really mature and kind! But, you know, I only heard about it, so I don’t know for sure!” Ayaya replied.

“Oh, I see,” Haruto responded, thinking about how he worked in the same place.

“Yeah… so, due to certain circumstances, that friend had to move to a different prefecture. Since he have a regional dialect like mine, he is always teased by people around them,” Ayaya continued.

“I see.”

“And during one of those days, when he was in the cafe where that person works and placing an order, he accidentally spoke in his dialect,” Ayaya narrated.

“Could it be…?” Haruto asked.

“Yes! That’s it! As soon as that happened, three customers behind him started whispering, laughing, and saying things like ‘sounds so rural,’ loud enough for my friend to hear,” Ayaya explained.

“Hmm?”

At this point, Haruto felt a sense of discomfort, sensing that something was off.

“Guess what! Onii-san handled it with a confident attitude and gave her a warning!! Isn’t he so cool!? She couldn’t help but fall for him!”

“R-Really?”

The sense of discomfort deepens.

“Oh, oh no… Something feels off… But maybe it’s just my imagination, yeah.”

Haruto, also known as Onii-san, had a similar experience. No, he was the one who gave the same warning.

“And besides, he’s so caring! Even though he’s not skilled, he earnestly draws animal pictures and writes uplifting messages. He’s also really good at taking care of others, right!?”

“Oh, I see,” Haruto replied while scratching his head, furrowing his brow.

“Drawing poorly… Wait, what is this feeling of synchronization?”

As she continues talking, a certain person comes to his mind: Shirayuki Aya, a petite first-year university student with milk tea-colored bobbed hair and pink eyes.

“Just to confirm, this cafe staff member doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?”

“Ahh.”

A short, one-word reply.

“Huh?”

“I-I don’t know! I-I didn’t ask!! My friend didn’t ask either!”

“No, no, no, you have to confirm that.”

“H-How do I confirm that!? If I ask if he has a girlfriend, it will be obvious!”

“You don’t ask it so directly, but rather, you somehow bring it up in the conversation…”

There’s nothing else Onii-san can say, as this is the safest way to answer.

“Oh, but my friend made a promise to ABEX with that clerk! If he has a girlfriend, he wouldn’t make such a promise, right!?”

“ABEX?”

“Yeah! ABEX!”

“And they are both in the same rank tier in ABEX?”

“Yeah! Both are in Platinum!”

“…”

The moment he reads this response, Onii-san lets go of his phone.

He puts his hand over his mouth, looking up at the ceiling with indescribable emotions.

“Isn’t it too perfect to be just a coincidence? Really…”

Feeling uneasy, he picks up his phone again.

“But that cafe staff member will be totally shocked!”

“Why is that?”

“Because my friend’s main account is in the top-tier of Predators!”

“What, in Predators!?”

“In terms of skill, he’s on the same level as me.”

“So, he’s practically a pro.”

Ayaya doesn’t seem to realize the obvious. Because she doesn’t, she’s giving away a lot of information. However, Onii-san is different.

Only Onii-san can consider one particular possibility.

There is a possibility that Shirayuki Aya is a friend of ‘Ac_Ayaya.’

“No way, seriously… This might be easy to determine…”

After all, Haruto is also a top-tier player fighting as a Predator. By looking at the character control, tactics, kill count, and damage dealt, it’s easy to gauge the player’s true skill.

“Ayaya-san, can I ask you one thing?”

“What is it?”

“When will your friend go ABEX with that cafe staff member?”

“The day after tomorrow, why?”

“That… I see.”

The day after tomorrow coincides with the day Aya Shirayuki made a promise.
