[Destiny’s Battle Elibagard Broadcast ~Am I Here Now?~]
[Introducing New Heroes]
“Now, it’s time for what everyone has been waiting for, the introduction of new heroes. Please enjoy the video.”
At the words of Kainoh Kazuki, the director of Destiny’s Battle, the blue screen on the monitor faded to black.
[Akakak, Akakakak!]
Then a black screen lit up, playing a laugh that could only be described as peculiar.
[Despair! And announce the end of the world!]
On the screen was a girl with crimson red hair, smirking cruelly as she looked at her enemies with gray eyes. She extended her rust-colored staff towards the sky and shouted.
[Burning the fabric of reality with my blood! Shattering providence is my world!]
Suddenly, a beam of red light shot up from the staff, and with the sound of the sky splitting, the girl’s red hair and black cloak began to flutter.
Soon, a brilliant red flash emerged from the clouds above.
[World, turn red! Muspell Levatein!]
As the red flash pierced the ground at incredible speed, the ground broke apart and lava erupted, engulfing the enemies.
[Akakak! Akakakak!]
The video ended with the girl laughing maniacally at the destruction she had caused.
The screen displayed an illustration of the girl using her staff as a chair while floating in mid-air.
[The world will soon be painted red! I am the crimson witch, Yukari Akabane!]

“Yes, this event’s 4-star hero, Yukari Akabane!”
-Is it real?!
-Ooooooh!!!
In real-time chat, viewers reacted enthusiastically.
It’s a fact that not everyone was positive, but the majority of the chatter was upbeat.
Of course, part of the excitement was due to the supportive players and servant demons, yet the fervor was also due to the uniqueness of the game Destiny’s Battle.
Approaching its 8th anniversary, Destiny’s Battle had existed for a long time.
However, the collaboration with other works in the past 7 years had only happened 5 times.
And every single time, it was with other titles from its parent company, all within the same universe as Destiny’s Battle.
But finally, for the first time, Destiny’s Battle was collaborating with an outside IP!
That alone left the players with no choice but to be incredibly excited.
Most gamers don’t play just one game but juggle multiple titles, often wishing for collaborations between their favorite games.
And it was the same for enthusiasts of Destiny’s Battle. Yet, for 8 years, there had never been an external collaboration with another IP, leading players to the point of giving up hope.
But this collaboration with Star’s Flow signaled the revival of those hopes.
“And now, I will introduce another hero. Please take care of her!”
With Kazuki’s gesture, the screen transitioned again.
However, this time it didn’t dive directly into the hero’s visuals; instead, it first revealed a figure standing against a seaside background.
Next, a bread hat slightly tilted atop her head and a cardigan wrapped around her waist appeared.
[So, are we ready to have some fun?]
As this line appeared, the full figure was revealed along with her name.
[Izumi Kainoh]
Immediately, the screen turned white, and Izumi’s bright smile filled the display.
[Come on, always at full power! A girl’s heart knows no limits!]
Izumi, holding a long umbrella, shook it up and down playfully, striking a pose like a kendo player.
[Here I go! It’s definitely… something like this, right?]
She then dashed forward, swung her umbrella at an enemy, and inexplicably struck a sheathed sword stance.
[Hehe, how was that? Pretty cool, right? But if you fall for me, it could be a bit troublesome!]
As Izumi spoke, a foe standing behind her exploded with a monumental boom, and raindrops began to fall from the sky.
[Eek?! W-What the heck…? What just happened there…?]
At Izumi’s shocked expression as she turned around, the video ended, transitioning to a floating illustration much like Yukari’s earlier, featuring her standing with her umbrella, laughing while drawing a V-sign near her eyes.
[Huh? But the treasure of humanity, a pretty girl JK, can’t be guilty of anything, right?]
[Berserker SSR ★★★★★ Izumi Kainoh]
[Limited Time Appearance via Gem Summon!]
-Mei-chan is here!
-So cute!!!
-The battle intro feels like a 4-star level though.
Unique reactions poured in through the chat, ranging from “too cute!” to noting how Izumi’s battle performance was lackluster compared to Yukari’s 4-star level, and some wanting to adopt her as their daughter.
But the most common comment was, “No matter how you look at it, this isn’t the Izumi I know!”
Izumi, chattering enthusiastically without a stutter, was an entirely mysterious figure to her supportive players.
However, Kazuki couldn’t possibly read those chats as he continued the broadcast with a cool demeanor.
“Yes. This event’s 5-star hero, Izumi Kainoh!”
“Wow. The first external collaboration for Destiny’s Battle has finally come!”
At Kazuki’s words, the female voice actor sitting next to him, Kasumi Ryoko, clapped and responded.
“Right? It’s finally here, haha.”
“Destiny’s Battle has the reputation of not collaborating much, so I’m sure many Masters were surprised.”
“Absolutely. We were surprised when the collaboration was first decided. The Masters will definitely be much more shocked than we were.”
“It’s also with the recently much-talked-about VTuber genre. I’m super excited~.”
“Yes. I hope all the Masters enjoy it!”
Afterward, Kazuki introduced the in-game schedule and revealed a CM set to air on TV, and following some casual conversation with Ryoko, he wrapped up the broadcast with thank-yous.
“Then see you next time~.”
“Goodbye!”
Thus, the introductory broadcast for the first external collaboration event of Destiny’s Battle came to an end.

[Title: So, how are Yukari and Izumi’s performances in Destiny’s Battle?]
[Author: I drew this giraffe.]
Since we collaborated, should I give it a shot too?
[Upvote: 5 / Downvote: 2]
ㅇㅇ: Yukari << 4-star but a high-performance damage dealer. └ㅇㅇ: Izumi << 5-star but a useless performance that’s neither a supporter nor a dealer. └ㅇㅇ: But honestly, she's dope for figures. └ㅇㅇ: Just the perfect Izumi-level performance. └ㅇㅇ: To put it simply, she’s a ‘pretty trash.’ └Mei Likes: Don’t slander our Mei-chan, you filthy bastards! Maker: This game isn’t particularly performance-oriented anyway. └Maker: If you’re curious, just give it a quick try. Boss🔸: I don’t really know about other things, but Izumi’s battle intro switches in the 3rd Awakening and... └Boss🔸: it looks really well done. └Water God’s Opponent: True that. ★ [【Destiny's Battle】Wait for me, another me! #Star’s Flow 2nd Generation #Kainoh Izumi #Akabane Yukari]
“Um, w-well, I think everyone already knows this, but… this time, Yukari and I will be participating as heroes in Destiny’s Battle.”
[It’s ridiculous. Why am I a 4-star while Izumi is a 5-star? Anyone can see I should be the 5-star, right?]
“Th-That’s not something I can decide! Talk to the company about that…”
Of course, I firmly believe I should be a 5-star.
I mean, I’m the Water Avatar, right? A mere witch is trying to outdo me as a 5-star? How cheeky, Yukari.
– Did Mei-chan draw all the illustrations?
“Ah, yes. I was originally supposed to ask Toka Mama and Yuri Mama to, um, take care of it, but in the end, I ended up handling it…”
That was the real reason I hadn’t been able to do any drawing streams lately.
Well, I could’ve managed if I wanted to, but the company advised against it, worried that my drawing might cause this story to come up.
“Still, I did draw the art, but… all the illustration designs were directly checked by the mamas…”
Both of them were sending tons of resources since they wanted to dress us.
Choosing just one from that pile was quite the arduous task.
– I feel disconnected from the pre-3rd Awakening Mei-chan. What do you think?
“W-What are you talking about…? Anyone can see I look, um, super good. I’m a complete super popular atmosphere-maker, pretty girl JK!”
…Honestly, when I first heard that concept, I thought it was a failure.
[Come on, always at full power! A girl’s heart knows no limits!]
[Here I go! It’s definitely… something like this, right?]
[Hehe, how was that? Pretty cool, right? But if you fall for me, it could be a bit troublesome!]
I couldn’t imagine myself delivering those lines.
Recording those lines resulted in tons of NG takes.
To speak the truth, the result of cobbling together many recordings isn’t something I should divulge, right?
– I think she become super cool in the 3rd Awakening, which is great.
Well, at least the lines in the 3rd Awakening were decent.
Since there wasn’t a need to force a lively atmosphere, it was all just my usual speech.
Sure, I still struggled to get my words out in the middle, but thanks to editing, I could get away with it.
“Okay, I think it’s about time to move on to today’s topic… Are you ready, Izumi? The loser grants a wish.”
“I-I will definitely win this time, Yukari…!”
The purpose of turning on this broadcast and collaborating with Yukari was, of course, all for this moment.

Gacha showdown.
The rules were the same as last time: the first to summon wins.
If they summoned at the same time, they’d keep spinning the gacha until one of them got an extra character.
The character I needed to summon was clearly ‘Kainoh Izumi’.
Of course, I had already planned to limit break to the max, so it didn’t really matter to me, but I still didn’t want to lose in a competition.
Last time, during the Hercules pickup, I lost overwhelmingly, but this time, I would definitely win.
Ready yet, another me?!
