[【BuildCraft】 I’m starting to rebuild the temple that I’ve been putting off! Be amazed and revere it!!! #IzumiKainoh#Star’sFlow]
– This temple is impressively done, hey
– Something greater than I imagined is being created…
It’s the second day of Golden Week.
Yesterday, I realized that Build Craft might just be an incredible game, way more than I thought, after my fierce battle with Kurokami-senpai.
It’s ridiculous.
A game where Kurokami-senpai could definitely serve as a manager.
If that’s the case, then there must be something I haven’t realized yet.
Anyway, this Golden Week, I decided to focus on constructing the temple I partially abandoned last time.
And immediately after having lunch today, when I turned on the broadcast, my temple… as you can tell from the reactions of the Izutomo, was at quite a high level of quality.
The appearance of the temple proudly showcased its grandeur and noble stance in the middle of a giant lake.
Inside, various minerals decorated the paths, and the interior was illuminated by soft candlelight reflecting off the marble floors.
And in the center stood a statue of “Izumi Kainoh’s Temple,” with five wings, the ultimate equipment obtainable in Build Craft.
Of course, given the nature of a game like Build Craft, it’s not comparable to a real-life temple, but even taking that into account, I thought it became a pretty impressive work.
– I thought Mei-chan would get bored and quit quickly
– Didn’t you say you didn’t like Biruku?
“Uhm… Well, at first, I thought that, but building it turned out to be more fun than I expected…”
Should I say it feels like drawing a picture?
The ability to build the structure I imagined was surprisingly captivating.
Well, I could build it this beautifully thanks to not only my efforts but also Aki-chan’s help.
– I was expecting a strange monstrosity to be made.
– How long do you think it will take to finish?
“Probably… about two days, I think?”
Since I’ve almost picked up the basic framework, it just needs a little more reinforcement in the detailed parts.
Assuming I implement everything that comes to mind during reinforcement, I’d say about two days.
– What are your plans after that?
… I hadn’t thought that far.
Right now, I was only focused on finishing this temple.
Not that I necessarily wanted to build something else.
[Hikari: Ah?! Shoko-chan!!!]
[Hikari: What are you doing right now?!]
[Shoko: The materials Hikari gathered]
[Shoko: I’ll use them for Atlas’s revival! Thank you!!!]
It seemed like the Build Craft chatroom had been noisy for a while, and indeed it was those two.
I was so used to seeing Kurokami-senpai and Mizuki-chan bicker during broadcasts or games, so I didn’t even feel like intervening.
After all, they weren’t genuinely hostile towards each other; it felt more like they were friendly rivals.
“Ah… I’m out of gold…”
While I was building without a care and chatting with the Izutomo, I had used up all the gold I needed for decoration.
“Uhm…”
Should I go back home to restock on gold, or should I just call it a day for today’s broadcast?
Right now, it was 3:52 PM.
I started the Build Craft broadcast at 12:30 PM, so I had already been streaming for over three hours.
Considering I had scheduled the Alpha Hunter broadcast for 9 PM, it would probably be best to end the current stream and take a break?
… But maybe it would be convenient to prepare the materials in advance for later.
Making that decision, I left the temple and headed home.
[Hikari: Today, I’ll stake my honor and will absolutely not forgive you!!!]
[Shoko: Even if the Pork Cutlet Hikari says that, I’m not scared at all~?]
[Hikari: Haah?!]
[Hikari: What do you think of Senpai, huh?!]
[Hikari: I will never forgive you today!!!]
“Those two are always so loud…”
– They always feel like that.
– Watching them makes me feel happy too.
“It’s definitely… I think I understand what that means.”
It’s like watching a slice-of-life anime, I guess.
I gathered the gold while chatting with the Izutomo and then returned to the temple.
“…Eh?”
What welcomed me there was the half-exploded ruins…
In other words, it was the temple (that had been).

What exactly is a home tutor?
Literally, it means a teacher who is in charge of tutoring individuals at home.
So, what are their ranks?
In ancient Greece, it is said that people belonging to the slave class acted as home tutors.
But that’s just a tale from the ordinary human history of ancient times.
Surpassing that ancient age… the organization of Atlantis known as Atlas boasted a magnificent civilization in its ultra-ancient times.
It wouldn’t be normal for someone as a home tutor teaching the head of organization.
After all, having someone from the slave class teach and suggest guidance to the ruling head of an organization is quite odd.
If an unidentified individual is attached to Aoba as the head without any guarantee and something happened, what do you think would happen?
In other words, just being in charge of Aoba’s home tutor means that rank is somewhat guaranteed, and that position is at least a high-ranking officer of Atlas.
Star’s Flow’s third-generation student, Shoko Mizuki.
As Aoba’s home tutor affiliated with Atlas, she has made such claims since her debut.
In other words, she considers herself the second-in-command of Atlas, meaning that comparing her station to any ordinary rank is already an insult.
And this direction of RP brought about rather various disturbances, and the representative victim of that was none other than first-generation student Hikari.
Despite the more than two-year gap in debut dates, in terms of rank, she claimed to be superior.
Declaring herself the self-proclaimed villainous noble lady. Hikari expressed that Shoko was not her opponent during their first collaboration broadcast.
Of course, it’s obvious that Shoko had no malice towards Hikari.
Rather, she purposely caused a commotion because she liked Hikari and wanted to get closer to her.
With Nana, the overwhelming fandom number, and the pitch-black star, and since Hikari loved Izumi too much to take up the junior position.
Instead, she adopted the position of a rebellious junior to narrow the gap.
And of course, Hikari knew that fact, which is why she accepted Shoko’s rebellion.
The number one Pork Cutlet in Star’s Flow… Shoko’s rebellion against Hikari became a great source of entertainment on the broadcast.
A junior disregarding a senior with over two years of debut experience.
A senior incapable of doing anything in return to such a junior.
It would be strange if that weren’t entertaining.
Thus, their relationship, formed as a rivalry rather than a slice-of-life promotional interaction, can be considered quite rare in Star’s Flow.
And that day was no exception.
[Hikari: Ah?! Shoko-chan!!!]
[Hikari: What are you doing right now?!]
[Shoko: The materials Hikari gathered]
[Shoko: I’ll use them for Atlas’s revival! Thank you!!!]
While broadcasting Build Craft, Shoko ran into Hikari and naturally picked a fight, and Hikari willingly fell for it.
Counting the occurrences stated on the Star’s Flow wiki, the 31st HikaShoko Great War had commenced.
[Hikari: Today, I’ll stake my honor and will absolutely not forgive you!!!]
[Shoko: Even if the Pork Cutlet Hikari says that, I’m not scared at all~?]
[Hikari: Haah?!]
[Hikari: What do you think of Senpai, huh?!]
[Hikari: I will never forgive you today!!!]
Shoko darted away after stealing the materials Hikari had been gathering for the Kuroken collaboration.
“Ah, Hikari is so easy~!”
The problem here was that Shoko was, for the time being, also affiliated with Kuroken.
In fact, she was just a low-level newcomer.
– What in the world is Kuroken?
– It’s strange that a newcomer can steal materials gathered by the manager.
“Of course, I’m affiliated with Kuroken… But I was with Atlas first!”
Making an outrageous claim, Shoko ran hard to escape from Hikari.
With this continuous running, Hikari, who wasn’t very skilled in the game, was bound to give up eventually, meaning that Shoko would definitively be recorded as the victor of the 31st great war…
But there was one thing Shoko had overlooked, which was Hikari’s immense competitive spirit.
“This time, I absolutely can’t lose…! Thanks to Shoko-chan, even the butlers have started looking down on me! It’s strange, isn’t it? A newcomer boldly going against the manager!”
– Is she finally going to use it?!
– Anyway, the real power of Kuroken isn’t her, is it?
– I have a feeling the first victim will definitely not be Shoko-chan.
Having always endured losing, Hikari, determined to win this time around, sought help from Nekoto, and thanks to that, she prepared a new weapon.
“Hehe… With this, I’m sure even Shoko-chan will have to admit defeat.”
A name known as the TNT cannon.
A state-of-the-art weapon that can fire TNT to attack a wide area all at once.
“Now… It’s time for you to receive punishment for looking down on me, Shoko-chan!”
– No matter how you look at it, it’s unsettling.
– Maybe it’s better to stop before there’s another victim?
– That direction definitely…
The TNT aimed at Shoko was launched… and moments later, it exploded with an immense roar.
“Ohohoho! How about that? This wicked power! It truly suits me!”
However, there was also something Hikari overlooked, the fact that TNT was so powerful that it could easily destroy the terrain while attacking a wide area, making it difficult to use simply for the intent of attacking someone.
No. It wasn’t exactly overlooked.
After all, how could the Star’s Flow’s representative Pork Cutlet and the weakest gamer, Hikari, properly understand that power?
– That’s definitely Mei-chan’s…
– I have a feeling a bloodstorm is brewing.
As the cloud produced by the explosion cleared, what was revealed was…
“…Ah?”
It was the temple of Izumi (that had been).
[Shoko: As expected, you’re completely useless, Hikari~!]
And the actual target, Shoko, had sustained no damage at all.
★
“….”
– Is this the pain of war…?
– Ah…
– I can’t say anything this time.
Not a single word escaped me.
The Izutomo even seemed to be in a supportive mood for some reason.
Yet the devastation before me… was not something that could be solved with such consolation.
‘Oh temple. Don’t hurt… One day, I’ll finish you and show you off to everyone!’
‘Good night, temple. Sweet dreams….’
Good memories spent with the temple flashed through my mind.
And soon came….
“Aaaaaaaaaah?!”
The feeling of despair.
