[Aozaki Fujie: I think it’s definitely a situation that could make you angry.]
[Aozaki Fujie: But still, it was too sudden.]
[Izumi Kainoh: I’m sorry….]
[Aozaki Fujie: It’s okay. But I think it’s better if you restart the broadcast.]
[Aozaki Fujie: Yes, I’ll start again right away….]
Haa…
Fujie, Izumi’s personal manager, let out a sigh after confirming that the situation had settled down.
“Really, so emotional.”
Of course, in a situation like this, it couldn’t be said that Izumi was completely innocent, but to be exact, the cause was provided by the opponent.
That being said, it wouldn’t have been a big issue even if Izumi had genuinely gotten angry during the broadcast.
But shutting down the broadcast immediately after that was obviously a serious problem.
After being away for 8 days out of 9 and coming back, and with 3 of those days declared as sick leave due to a sudden cold, it was hard to deny that there were dissatisfied Izutomo.
And to end the broadcast before 10 minutes even passed… it was honestly at a level where even Fujie, if she were a viewer, would have to think this was too much.
“Must be because she’s still a high school student…”
Even though Izumi was approaching 2 years of broadcasting experience, she was still a current high school student who hadn’t truly experienced society yet.
So it wasn’t entirely unfathomable to responded emotionally to ridiculous accusations.
But the problem was, if Izumi acted like this, it would also cause trouble for her personal manager Fujie and the manager of Star’s Flow, M-chan.
This incident was immediately reported to Noah, who reacted with a somewhat detached response of “Is it another issue with Izumi…?”
Every time Fujie saw that attitude from her boss, who was close to her in college, a sense of guilt crept in, but…
That guilt gradually melted away and disappeared completely.
One of the catchphrases Izumi often says during her streams, “It’s not me that’s bad, it’s this world,” made the current problem feel trivial.
“Yeah, well… it’s okay since she’s cute.”
In the first place, it was the viewer that made Izumi say something like that who was at fault.
It was wrong of Noah to sigh over it.
Izumi wasn’t at fault at all.
With this optimistic mindset, Fujie thought as she accessed Izumi’s channel where the broadcast waiting room was set up again.
Once again, Fujie’s dark circles deepened a little more today.

[【Chatting】The cold is all better now, I’m back! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]
-─(≧▽≦)>ZumiZumi!
-─(≧▽≦)>ZumiZumi!
-So this is the second round…
That’s right. It’s the second round. Reporting that the cold has completely healed, second round…!
Honestly, I thought I had messed up right after I ended the stream….
Of course, it’s not my fault but that weird guy’s fault, but still, I got too excited while it wasn’t just me watching my broadcast.
“Co, Konzumi… the mood maker, Izumi is here…”
-HaiZumi!
-Did you get completely well?
The fortunate thing is that, just as I wanted, the Izutomo are being kind and responsive.
I thought they would only be the abusing type… I’m touched.
“Yes. I’m, uh, completely better….”
-Well, it’s actually the second time, lol.
But that kindness was short-lived. The Izutomo started to use my previous actions as a source of amusement with a look of “isn’t it obvious?”
But… I have no way to argue against it…!
-To be honest, what were you feeling earlier?
“Honestly… after the broadcast ended, I thought, ‘I made a mess…!’ I’m… reflecting on it.”
-No matter what, you were too excited.
-I was really sad thinking the broadcast was over…
I had expected this from before the stream started, but here comes the press conference…
But at this point, there was no way for me to refuse.
To put it bluntly, I had to admit I was in the wrong here…
There’s no way I could truly be at fault, so why did this happen…?
Today, I was supposed to have a casual chat with my Izutomo, discussing plans for next week and whatnot…
I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure, that guy from earlier is definitely the worst.
-As an apology, I’d like some sweet ASMR in the girlfriend concept.
“Ugh… I, I don’t want to…? There’s no way I’d do ASMR… So you’d better give up on thinking I’d accept anything just because of the situation…”
I had no plans to do ASMR anyway, and I definitely wouldn’t do that kind of ASMR.
If you really want to ask something, at least think it through first.
-I want to see Mei-chan play a dawn game…
-I’d like a cute song broadcast please.
-I’d love a horror game playthrough broadcast even if it’s not a dawn game.
The chatroom was flooded with things that I naturally disliked, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Are they seriously just out to torment me? Why? Are they really just abusive types?
If they had asked me for a normal broadcast on the weekend, I would have happily given it.
I didn’t want this twisted affection…
-A collab with Suzuhachi.
“No… saying that in a situation like this makes me look like I’m not close to Koga… We talk daily, right? We do the pure white sea together consistently… I mean, we even had a Takoyaki party just the day before yesterday…”
-Join the Atlas meeting.
“No, if I join there, it’ll seriously look weird…”
I feel like Tsurusaki would say a real owner of Atlas just appeared, and Kaguya might manage to slide through somehow.
Mizuki and Suzumichi or Hatakawa haven’t had long conversations or colabs yet, so I’m not sure.
-So what does it mean that you showed a disgraceful side to Natsune and the young lady?
“Ah…”
And the topic I wanted to avoid the most came up because of someone in the chatroom.
‘If you don’t believe I was sick, ask Natsune and Senpai Kurokami! They came to visit me! I showed them my shameful side too!!!’
I accidentally let it slip during that moment of passion…
I had asked them to keep it a secret, and yet here I am telling them directly.
What a foolish situation.
“Actually, nothing happened…. Isn’t that good enough…?”
-That’s not gonna work.
-You can’t fool even the neighborhood kid with that excuse.
Is that right? I can’t really fool anyone, can I….? Of course, I knew that!
“…But I don’t have an obligation to tell…”
-You do.
-Think about why you restarted the broadcast.
-Mei-chan, is this all we really meant to you…?
Of course, it’s not going to work…
“But still… I have to get permission from Natsune and Senpai Kurokami to talk about this…?!”
-Kurokami Hikari☑: I don’t mind saying it.
-Natsune Nanase☑: I’m okay too! I was planning on talking about it in my broadcast later ~ヾ(・ω・)
“Eh?”
-The permission has been granted.
-Hurry up and tell us.
Wait, so right now, Natsune and Senpai Kurokami are watching?
No, more importantly…
“Didn’t you say you’d keep it a secret, Natsune?!”
-Natsune Nanase☑: It’s not my fault you spilled the beans first, right?
-Natsune Nanase☑: And it’s wrong to keep such a fun story hidden.
-Natsune Nanase☑: So I’d like you to choose, Izumi (¬‿¬).
-Natsune Nanase☑: Would it be better if I said it later, or if you said it right now?
Grrr…
This darn brat…!
“Help me, Senpai Kurokami… We have an affiliation, don’t we?!”
-Kurokami Hikari☑: I think similarly to Nanase.
“This is too cruel…”
Why is there not a single ally here…?
It’s so devastatingly cruel, it hurts my heart.
“So… I, I asked Natsune and Senpai Kurokami to wipe my sweat… and to help change my clothes…”
In the end, I had no choice but to tell everything that had happened two days ago.
-Natsune Nanase☑: And you told us you liked us a lot too~ (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
-Kurokami Hikari☑: You even said you wanted my hand to hold because you felt lonely. It was super cute.
“Ugh….”
My face was burning with embarrassment.
-This is noble…
-At this point, you could definitely call her a seductress.
-Izumi, the scary one…!
-I could die happily with this…
-I want to see the three of you together, all cuddly and sweet.
But aside from that, the chatroom’s excitement level skyrocketed.
It wasn’t the yuri sales shown in the broadcast, but a real-life episode of tenderness.
Of course, I feel like I want to die from embarrassment right now.
Maybe I really have no choice but to graduate from all this…
★
Before long, it was time to wrap up the broadcast.
“And in 3 weeks. Ah, some of you might know, but Toka Mama is coming to Japan…!”
-Long time, no see…
-After that sudden off-collab, we haven’t had another one…
“So in 3 weeks on Saturday…! It’s an off-collab with Toka Mama!”
So I introduced the upcoming big event to everyone.
“Well then, everyone, see you next time…!”
-ByeZumi!
-ByeZumi!
