[【Reading Hyper Chat】 Did everyone enjoy the anniversary yesterday?! #KainohIzumi#Star’sFlow]
“So today I’m going to read h-h-hyper chat, but….”
– Feels like I’ve done this before somehow…
– Where did that confident vibe go at the start?
“U-um…. You know? I’ve been p-practicing a lot to stop stuttering, but….”
– Honestly, you’ve improved a lot compared to before.
– Sometimes when I watch Mei-chan’s old videos, I feel like crying (-ω-、)
“S-s-stop! To be honest, I… I’ve improved!”
– Huh?
– Sounds like you just stuttered again, haha.
– So was that on purpose?
“That’s not it… Uh, well. I fixed it, but maybe it’s just a little… weird now….”
It’s not a lie.
I have definitely improved my stuttering.
Although I’ve gotten better, I just improved in a slightly weird way, so I still talk the way I usually do.
Now the frequency of my stuttering when speaking has decreased a lot, so not many people find it uncomfortable to listen to.
But I wanted to let my Izutomo hear me speak normally at least once.
And that chance is probably now…!
– It’s okay if it’s weird.
“Y-you think it’s okay if it’s weird? R-really…?”
When I asked again out of sheer anxiety, the Izutomo in the chatroom enthusiastically agreed.
It was a sight that I couldn’t imagine from those who usually just tease me.
Seeing that, I gained confidence and decided to show them my changed self.
In other words, Kainoh Izumi MK-II!
“Th-this is…. Ah, um…!”
– Yep, as expected, you failed~
– I genuinely freaked out for a moment.
– From now on, saying you’ve improved is banned.
“W-why?!”
You just said it was okay no matter how I looked!
Of course, speaking too slowly and stretching my words might sound weird, but it’s not stuttering!
Where did all those cool Izutomo who always agreed with me go…?
– Izumi-chan speaking like usual is the best!
– Familiarity is the best!
“Uuuu….”
One day, I’ll definitely completely fix my stuttering habit and surprise my Izutomo.
That’s how one more of my dreams was set.
“…Th-thank you, everyone.”
But despite that, I sincerely expressed my gratitude to them.
And most of the Izutomo didn’t really react to my thanks.
They probably know well what it means when I thank them.
That’s why I was even more grateful to them.
Most of the Izutomo watching this broadcast surely know.
The appearance and school life of me that spread across the internet.
So, the number of subscribers and real-time viewers suddenly increased noticeably, which of course could not help but affect the broadcast.
Just looking at the chatroom, even though the manager is working hard to manage it, there was at least one comment about my personal life in between.
But I didn’t want to be swayed by that.
Right now, this broadcast is Kainoh Izumi’s broadcast.
I wanted someone who found me through Kaya Kayanoh to know what kind of idol Kainoh Izumi is.
And later, I wanted them to come to watch the broadcast of Kainoh Izumi, not Kayanoh Mina.
So I tried not to show it and continued the broadcast like usual.
And it seems the Izutomo read those thoughts and genuinely enjoyed my broadcast as usual.
– Stuttering is part of Mei-chan’s identity, so don’t fix it.
– Getting excited only when something I like comes up is Mei-chan’s charm.
– I like seeing you as the atmosphere maker (mysterious, gloomy recluse with communication impairment) too!
– Izumi-chan speaking normally is a mismatch…
The fact that that “normality” leads to making fun of me in various ways is bothersome…
But anyways, they love this VTuber industry as much as I do.
Especially, they really adore me.
But.
“I definitely saw that chat about being a gloomy recluse with communication impairment, right?!”
I mean, come on, this is too much!
The number of viewers increased more than usual, so at least be a bit kinder and friendlier!
Why don’t you guys know how to treat a current JK after watching me for over two years?
“Phew…. I, I really hope you guys are thankful that I’m nice….”
– Is Izutomo nice enough to keep watching Mei-chan’s broadcast?
“…Anyway! I’m going to start reading hyper chat now!”
Trying to argue further here would only lead to me losing.
These guys are pros at teasing me.
So I might as well just move on quickly.
=Zutomo JP¥ 50,000: I watched yesterday’s live and sent this hyper chat. I really feel your genuine love for the broadcast even during normal times, it always makes me happy. And during yesterday’s live, seeing you standing confidently as an idol without your previous awkwardness moved me so much. I want to keep cheering for you as a loyal servant, Nekoto master!
“…You bastard!!!”
Reading that, I thought, “I’m so glad yesterday’s live was positively received!”
I did miss the beat quite a bit, but I felt like I made a significant improvement and was touched!!
You’ve tricked me! Give me back my feelings!
– Hahaha.
– I definitely thought Nekoto-chan’s solo stage was amazing yesterday…
– Even if you feel that way, it’s inevitable.
“What are you planning to do if you mistakenly send 50,000 yen to someone else’s broadcast?! No, you did it on purpose! Your ID is Zutomo! Anyone can tell you’re an Izutomo!”
– Did you become an Oshihen…?
“If you’re going to Oshihen, at least change your nickname! …I-I mean, don’t actually Oshihen…! Got it? Huh? And if you really sent this to Aki-chan, that’d be an incredible nuisance, right? I don’t want you two to become awkward later…”
– Your sudden vulnerability is cute.
– This gap mode is cheating.
– Nekoto-chan would probably say it’s totally fine and not think twice about it!
“It’s true, th-that might be the case… Uh, anyway! Don’t spend 50,000 yen on such pranks! Keep it normal, keep it normal.”
– You probably couldn’t help it because Mei-chan’s reaction was so good.
– Reacting like this will only lead to more.
And so, today’s broadcast saw my hyper chat earnings hitting an all-time high.
…Hmm. It’s not the direction I wanted, but… I’ve definitely grown, maybe?

[Title: Ah damn, why am I like this?]
[Writer: ㅇㅇ]
I’ve literally never seen an anime in my life.
I knew the name VTuber, but thought it was just something idiot otaku kids watch.
Then I heard there’s a super cute high school girl VTubing in Japan, so I was curious and clicked. I ended up watching the entire live stream to the end…
Kainoh Izumi <<< What is this cuteness? Her stuttering is cute, her smiles are cute, damn… (Membership sign-up screen.jpg) (Japanese studying book purchase screen.jpg) Then out of nowhere, I joined the membership and even bought a book to study Japanese… Ah, damn… So, is there any other VTuber as cute as Izumi? [Recommended: 0 / Not Recommended: 0] ㅇㅇ : (You’re now officially an Izutomo! Konn.) uwu : (Mei-chan brainwashing Konn.) └uwu : (Izumi is cute to the level of a disaster Konn.) ㅇㅇ : Just watch a variety of them and see which one you find the funniest. [Title: Finally got Izumi's secret wordplay 3rd stage out.mp4] [Writer: ㅇㅇ] (Izumi's secret wordplay 3rd stage.mp4) [Ah, thank you, thank you.] [O-oh, you want to hear my wordplay after a long time?] [...Hehe. You were all saying you hated it when I tried, but you did like it after all, huh?] [...But you know, I said to wait for the secret wordplay 3rd stage....] [The truth is, I’m out of ideas....] [Yeah....] [I thought maybe it would come back to me after sleeping, but it didn’t come to mind....] [Kuuh! Pfft!]
[O-oh, did you understand?! I knew you all liked my wordplay?!]
[Yeah! I’ll be sure to prepare other wordplays for next time!]
I’m cold, Mei-chan…
[Recommended: 48 / Not Recommended: 3]
ㅇㅇ : Ah… damn.
└ㅇㅇ : I’m mad at myself for chuckling haha.
SuzuiZu : Bwahahahaha!
Mizukiri Mei-chan: Izutomo Squad has been taken down! Haha!
ㅇㅇ : Honestly, it’s funny, why are you all reacting like that?
└Maker : Mei-chan goes for it, huh…
└ㅇㅇ : Stop the gallery and keep broadcasting, Mei-chan.
Rain : What the heck is going on? Please explain.
└ㅇㅇ : If you can’t understand this, why watch VTubers?
└uwu : Why is this flowing friend so angry?
└OyaBun🔸 : No idea (ねた – neta) is not coming (ねえ – nee).
└OyaBun🔸 : I thought it would come to me after sleeping (寝たら – netara) later, but…
└Rain : Thanks.
└ㅇㅇ : The elegance of Juddik ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
ㅇㅇ : Why is a current high school girl telling these jokes…
ㅇㅇ : I think that the person who sent that hyper chat asked for it to keep the unqualified people away.
└ㅇㅇ : No way someone could actually like wordplay like that…

“Ni-nice to meet you for the first time.”
“Yes. I hope we can get along well from today onward.”
So after a somewhat eventful holiday, Monday came.
Kurokami-senpai really sent a bodyguard to accompany me at the time I go to school.
“I’m Yurie, so feel free to call me that.”
“Uh, yes….”
I, who usually takes the subway to school, am now riding in such an expensive-looking limousine to go to school.
Is this really okay…?
As I sit alone in the back seat, feeling a bit lost in thought, Yurie talked to me.
“I’ve heard a bit about you, Kayanoh-san. I’ll protect you no matter what happens, so just relax.”
Honestly, I’m feeling even more uncomfortable with this.
I probably shouldn’t have said that.
But at least it’s a relief that Yurie seems kinder than she looks.
When I first saw her, she was pretty tall and had intense eyes that made her look a bit scary, but whenever she talked to me, her voice was really soft and gentle.
I feel like I’ve had a similar experience before.
Ah….
“You look a lot like Uncle Yuto….”
That was a careless remark I blurted out without even thinking Yurie would hear it.
But it seemed Yurie definitely caught that little voice.
“R-really?! You think I look like Yuto-oniichan?!”
“Uh, I—yeah….”
“Fufu… Hehe….”
K-Kurokami-senpai…
I feel like I’ve got a weird person as a bodyguard…
