[【BuildCraft】 I’m finally starting to rebuild the temple that I’ve been putting off! Look and be amazed, and bow down!!! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]
“Ahhhhh?!”
I stepped away to get some gold for less than five minutes.
But what on earth happened during that short time?
I just couldn’t understand.
[Shoko: You’re totally a mess, Hikari~!]
No, I didn’t want to understand.
I wanted to believe that Mizuki’s chat had nothing to do with the current disaster.
“Hehe…”
Yeah. This must be a dream.
It doesn’t make sense. I didn’t do anything wrong this time.
It’s absurd that I have to experience this despair.
As I brainwashed myself, I controlled my character with trembling hands and entered the temple.
The ceiling, adorned with platinum, had holes in it, revealing the blue sky.
The marble floor had deep craters.
“Hehe….”
And passing through the corridor into the main hall of the temple.
In the center stood the Izumi statue I had put so much effort into, alongside five broken wings…
-It’s broken
-This is just too cruel…
The Izumi statue was half crumbled, and the five wings seemed to have completely vanished, swept away by an explosion.
“Uuuuuu…”
It’s just…
Yeah. It’s just a game.
And if I invest time, I should be able to restore it all back.
“Uh…”
If I get help from Aki, I’m sure I can make it even faster… and even cooler than before.
Aki is kind, so she’ll definitely help if I explain the situation.
“Ugh…”
Yeah. So I’m fine.
“Uuuh… I, I have to do… Alpha Hunter later this evening… ugh…”
-Mei-chan…
-It hurts
-It’s okay, Mei-chan, hang in there!!!
-We’re all cheering for you
-Please don’t cry…
“Ah, I’m not crying…. Ugh. It’s just a game, so there’s no way I would cry… right? I’m fine…. Ugh.”
I was just a bit surprised. It’s nothing.
“W-What about you all… Ugh…”
Just as I was about to end the broadcast.
[Receiving a call from Hikari Kurokami and Shoko Mizuki]
[📞 | ❌]
Kurokami Senpai and Mizuki called me on Discord.
“Uh… K-Kurokami Senpai and Mizuki are calling….”
-Let’s pick it up
-If we talk calmly, it’ll surely get better
“I-I’m fine, ugh.”
I just don’t understand why everyone thinks I’d be having a hard time.
Really… it’s nothing…
But it seems like the Izutomos want me to answer the call, so I guess I’ll pick it up…
Ding!
“Ah, hello…. Ugh.”
[I’m, I’m so sorry, Izumi!!!]
[Really, I’m so sorry, Izumi Senpai!!!]
The moment I answered, both of them apologetically bowed to me.
Why are they doing that?
The collapse of my temple was due to some unknown natural disaster, it’s definitely not their fault.
[It’s my fault! I teased Hikaring too much!]
[No! It was my fault! I was told by Nekoto that it was an incredibly strong weapon, and it was my mistake not to check the surroundings before using it!]
“I-It’s okay, ugh. Ayo… I learned that thinking ‘this too shall pass’ makes it less… ugh. It’ll get better…”
They were just working hard for the broadcast as usual.
If there’s any mistake, it’s definitely… yeah. It’s my fault for thinking Build Craft was fun.
“I’m really fine… so please don’t worry about me. I’m enjoying your broadcast…”
[Um, um?!]
[Izumi Senpai?!]
That being said, I quietly left the Discord call.
“So I’ll… be back later for dinner. Ugh… bye-bye…”
-Bye Izumi…
-If it’s hard, it’s okay to take a break
-Please don’t cry…
For now… maybe I should get some sleep….

As expected, the fact that Izumi cried during Build Craft quickly spread.
Not only in the community but also to the members of Stars Flow, it was a natural consequence.
[I heard that the two from Kuroken made Izumi cry.]
[I can see this as a declaration of war.]
[Well, since it wasn’t intentional, and I heard they both immediately apologized… it should be fine, right?]
[I think so too….]
In an instant, Ayaka and Aoba created a somewhat sinister atmosphere as if they were plotting something, but they kept quiet at the counterargument of Suzuha and Yukari’s normal opinions.
[…I can’t forgive this. I’ve helped so much to build Izumi’s temple….]
But with that remark from Nekoto, the relaxed mood suddenly turned sharp once again…
[No, but you were the one who made the TNT cannon for Hikari in the first place, right?]
[…That was a mistake.]
Nekoto silently turned away as the hitting word cut right through.
[So what? Are Suzuha and Yukari going to let this go? When Izumi cried, I felt like my heart was breaking…. Didn’t you two feel the same? Was the bond of the second generation this shallow…?]
[That’s right! Just the fact that Izumi Senpai cried gives our rebellion meaning!]
Then, Ayaka began to appeal to emotions, gaining Aoba’s agreement.
Only Tsukasa quietly listened to their stories without saying a word.
[It’s time to join forces. It’s time for Ayaken and the Independents of Tacopaz to unite and… take down Kuroken!]
[No… wait, so Hikari is also part of Tacopaz?]
In Build Craft, Tacopaz, a group living together in the same building rather than a construction company.
The members include Izumi, Suzuha, Aoba, Tsukasa… and Hikari.
[It’s okay. Hikari is the head of Kuroken before being part of Tacopaz!]
[Hah… I see. So? What should we do now?]
Realizing that Ayaka and Aoba would never bend this opinion, Suzuha and Yukari finally nodded quietly.
[We will repay Izumi’s pain! Our goal is solely that!]
[Oooooooo!!!]
And thus began the war.
It was horrific.
All of the beautiful buildings that had been built in Build Craft were burning and collapsing.
[How did it come to this…?]
Someone cried out with a sad voice, but the war did not stop.
Ayaken and Tacopaz wrecked Kuroken’s buildings, while Kuroken seized the materials of Ayaken and Tacopaz in the name of revenge.
-Everything is burning…
-Is this hell?
Viewers merely cheered and enjoyed watching such scenes.
They already knew that this war was merely a piece of content.
And the reason for the war, Izumi…
-Mei-chan, you’re doing great!
-Fighting!!!
-This is truly a level worthy of being called a master!
“Hehe….”
Even while feeling puzzled by the unusually kind NaDenade of the Izutomos, I was enjoying playing Alpha Hunter.
-I heard there’s a war going on in Birukura right now?
“Yeah…? Why…?”
Even when someone told me, I couldn’t realize that I was the reason for that war…
★
“So, everyone, goodbye…!”
-Bye Izumi!
-Bye Izumi!
“Ugh…”
After turning off the broadcast and stretching, I felt all the stiffness from sitting for so long simply melt away.
By the way, the Izutomos were exceptionally kind today.
I wish it would always be like this.
I know they like me, but sometimes I think it might be a bit too much.
“Hmm….”
Time had flown by, and it was already 10:30 PM.
I should probably go to sleep soon.
Just a quick look at OnTube before bed…
As I made that resolution.
[Tsurusaki Tsukasa: Izumi Senpai]
[Tsurusaki Tsukasa: Are you okay with things ending like this?]
The sincere Izutomo and junior from the third generation, Tsukasa sent me a DM.
