[Title: Please Save Me]

Our Mei-chan’s broadcast just won’t end….
I definitely just watched yesterday’s backlog, but there are two more videos piled up today….
Why is this suddenly happening lately? It used to be just during break! Mei-chan, it’s too much for me! Help me, please!

uwu: I really appreciate how much you’re broadcasting, but for some reason, it doesn’t feel like gratitude…

Izumi seems super exhausted all of a sudden, saying she needs a break, and I was worried she might take an indefinite leave….
But then, out of nowhere, she started broadcasting like crazy, and all the worried Izutomo started to drop like flies…
I thought it was okay since she’s a student and could just enjoy it during break, but maybe it was the opposite?
In fact, maybe she always wanted to broadcast this much, but the chains of being a student held her back….
The reason she was tired before was that she wanted to broadcast more but couldn’t find the time as a student….

Eighth Star🔹: So doesn’t that really mean Izutomo will be screwed starting next year?
└Maker: Ah…

Suzuizu: Now Mei-chan has started abusing Izutomo…
└ㅇㅇ: Mei-chan, who had only been the victim until now, is revolting ㄷㄷ

[Aren’t you pushing yourself too much lately?]
I sensed worry in Koga-chan’s voice when she said that.
Pushing myself, huh….
To be honest, I have been increasing my broadcast time recently.
Before, I often started broadcasting after eating dinner post-school, but recently I’ve been doing it right after getting home from school.
And then again after dinner.
And sometimes once from midnight to 1 a.m.
I even sometimes broadcast three times a day.
Last Saturday alone, I woke up in the morning and broadcast once, twice in the afternoon, twice in the evening, and once in the early morning.
That’s a total of six broadcasts!
Looking at it this way, I can understand why Koga-chan would be concerned…
“I’m not pushing myself at all….”
But that sentence really wasn’t a lie.
It’s true that my broadcast time has increased, but it’s not as if what I’m doing is hard.
I’m just enjoying a hobby that I used to do alone during non-broadcast time, but now I’m sharing it with the Izutomo.
And I genuinely enjoy being with the Izutomo, so I haven’t thought of it as overdoing it.
[Well, that’s great, but… if you’re really struggling, you need to tell us?]
“Yeah….”
Well, truth be told, it’s not like there are no difficulties at all.
Since I’m broadcasting so much, there are a ton of opinions from the Izutomo saying they’re incredibly tired.
From my perspective, I’m broadcasting at a level similar to break time, but from the Izutomo’s viewpoint, the increasing frequency of broadcasts seems too much for them to keep up.
As a currently active JK (high school girl), I know that broadcasting a lot during break means relishing freedom, so I could overlook it, but during term time becoming busier makes it harder to cope.
I totally get that too…
If I could catch a Natsune live broadcast once in the evening.
But what if she started broadcasting more during the times I go to school and midnight when I sleep?
Not to mention if those broadcasts weren’t just 30 minutes, but two or three hours?
It’s absolutely exhausting!
Yet, as the Eighth Star, I can’t just ignore those broadcasts either.
Yeah. Thinking about it, I definitely need to reduce my broadcast times, but…
Still, I didn’t want to cut down my broadcasting time.
I want to spend as much time as possible with the Izutomo before graduation.
No, shouldn’t I rather be grateful?
I’m using the time of a supreme ultra charming girl like me entirely for the Izutomo, not to mention that they don’t think of it as a reward!
Wow, they really are a bunch of complainers.
[But I assumed it was natural to have complaints…?]
…Well, still, if I think about why I’m broadcasting, it’s ultimately because I want the Izutomo to enjoy it with me, so I should adjust a bit.
Without reducing the broadcast time… No, is there a brilliant way to even increase it while making sure Izutomo don’t get tired…?
[That sounds impossible, no matter how I think about it.]
No. But please don’t read my thoughts so naturally, Koga-chan.
This is invasion of privacy!
And then after that…
I actually ended up increasing my broadcast time a bit.
[Manager: Izumi-chan, how about slightly reducing the broadcast hours?]
[Manager: No, please just reduce them….]
When complaints from the Izutomo became loud enough, I was eventually restrained by the manager.
Thinking about it, broadcasting a lot not only affects the Izutomo but also the manager…

On December 1st, I participated in the VR Championship upon request from Yuzuki-senpai.
And of course, in a completely obvious fashion, I wrapped up in first place with overwhelming performance.
As a prize, I received the latest model monitor and headphones.
Later, after meeting with Yuzuki-senpai, we went for some yakiniku, and she hugged me, saying she really appreciated it because she needed a monitor.
On December 25th, we held a collab broadcast with the second-generation members in celebration of Christmas.
During the broadcast, thinking this might be the last Christmas we could spend together on air nearly made me cry, but luckily thanks to Aki-chan, I managed not to.
From 8 p.m. on December 31st to 8 a.m. on January 1st, I held a New Year broadcast.
Fortunately, I had recently reduced my broadcast hours enough that I could get permission from the manager.
But I accidentally dozed off for about 30 minutes around 3 a.m.
I almost cried when the Izutomo teased me about my snores and yawns when I woke up, but the grown-up me was able to endure their teasing.
Of course, that moment was uploaded as a clip on Ontube and garnered 500,000 views…
Thanks to the New Year broadcast, I fell asleep at my dad’s grave and got a huge scolding from my mom for not managing my condition properly after a long time.
My sister would probably say it could happen, and my dad would surely tell me it’s okay.
…Well, I had no words since I confidently told my mom it would be fine.
On January 13th, I had an off-collab scheduled with Tsurusaki-chan and went to her house.
But for some reason, all the members of Atlas were gathered there.
Turns out Tsurusaki-chan had been hiding a coup broadcast plan from me.
If Tsurusaki-chan won, Atlas would truly become my possessions from that day on…
No, I honestly don’t need it…
Without heeding my intentions at all, they proceeded with the planning broadcast, and fortunately, thanks to Tsurusaki-chan’s narrow defeat, I managed to avoid becoming the owner of that strange group.
And the perverted lolicon was terrifying.
On January 21st, it seems Namikawa-senpai and Amatsuka-senpai sued me at the Empress’s Trial.
They claimed it was because I hadn’t invited them to the shrine I built in the new server of Build Craft.
The charge was ‘Senior Disregard’ which had been brought up when Kurokami-senpai sued Natsune before.
However, I could prove that the reason I hadn’t invited them was that both of them had important matters to attend to on the day I revealed the shrine, so I received a not guilty verdict.
On February 1st, we gathered for a Hinami collab, but I was tricked into playing a horror game again by Kurokami-senpai.
What’s more, Natsune had no idea this time either, and in the end, both Natsune and I ended up crying again.
And that day, the community came to think of us as ‘Natsune and Mei-chan, uncharacteristically weak against the perky young lady.’
I was almost going to hate Kurokami-senpai, but she said Saori Auntie prepared cheese hamburg steaks, so I decided to forgive her.
Oh my.
I feel like this has happened before.
Could it be that I have the image of forgiving Kurokami-senpai if she gives me delicious food?
No way, right?
…And then on February 8th at 7 p.m.
Today, I will announce my graduation to the Izutomo.
[There’s something I want to say to everyone! #Star’s Flow #Izumi Kainoh]
-─(≧▽≦)>Zumi Zumi!
-─(≧▽≦)>Zumi Zumi!
“Ah, um…. Everyone, co-conzumi…! The mood maker, Kainoh Izumi is here.”
-Hiizumi!
-I think your voice is trembling.
-What’s wrong, Mei-chan?
“Eh…? You think my voice is trembling?”
That probably is true.
Honestly, I just came from crying a bit, so…
“Since it’s an important story… I can’t help but be nervous. Yeah.”
-Something feels ominous.
Surely, many of the Izutomo have noticed by now.
But I can’t turn back now.
So, let’s say the words I’ve prepared.
“Umm. Er, how do I even start? I really don’t know. Hehe. …Yeah, but I have to say it. I, Kainoh Izumi, will graduate from Star’s Flow on March 8th….”
-Eh?
-Really?
-PLEASE tell me it’s a lie!
-Why?
“I’m, I’m really sorry. I really have to graduate…. Yeah. And the reason. The reason is….”
The reason for my graduation.
At first, M-chan and the members suggested that I should just hide it.
But I felt that hiding it wouldn’t be fair to the Izutomo, and luckily I received permission to at least reveal some of the reason.
However, now that I’m about to say the reason, my throat feels tight.
“Haah…. You might really think it’s an absurd reason….”
But taking a deep breath, I spoke slowly and calmly.
Now’s not the time for me to be crying.
“I want to find my dream. Yeah. The reason I decided to graduate is… I want to find my dream. Saying that makes me feel so foolish…. It’s not like I want to achieve my dream, but I want to find it….”
-Was it not possible as a break?
-Is today by any chance April Fool’s?
-I think it’s an absurd reason… but…
“It’s truly selfish of me; I’m sorry. Hehe…. I want to say it plainly, but it’s just not going well….”
-Do the other members know?
“Ah, yeah. All the other members know. …Ah, but please don’t bring this topic up in the other members’ rooms. I beg you. I don’t want the mood of the broadcast to spoil because of unnecessary talks….”
-I hope you cancel it.
-I still want to meet more with Mei-chan.
“I’m really sorry…. Ah, and on the last day, on March 8th, I’ll have a graduation live show. I don’t know if it’s okay to say this, but… I hope you’ll come to watch. Hehe….”
-No!
-This is torment!
-Please don’t go!
“I’ll broadcast until the very end with a smile and without regrets… I hope the Izutomo will also enjoy until the very end with smiles too. Yeah…! I’ll be counting on everyone for the remaining time!”
I said it all.
And finally, I called out one last time.
“Everyone, I really loved you all, thank you so much!”
After shouting as loudly as I could, I ended the broadcast.
“Haaah…”
Thank goodness.
I managed to say everything properly until the end.
I could talk without crying, with a smile.
“Huff…”
Really, thank goodness.
“Huuuuu….”
So just for now, isn’t it okay to cry a little?
“Uwaaaaaaaah…!”
Everyone… I’m really sorry.
