[【Chit-Chat】Talk Time Before Sleeping! Let’s Chat a Lot Together! #NatsuneNanase#StarsFlow]
– Is Izumi-chan already gone?
“Ah, yeah. Izumi went home after we had dinner together earlier.”
It was 11 PM.
It was a surprisingly late broadcast, but the chatroom wasn’t in a panic.
Natsune often started chit-chat broadcasts at this hour to talk to her fans.
There wasn’t really any big reason.
She just liked being able to end her day by chatting with fans.
– By the way, why were you mad at Izumi-chan earlier?
As she continued the various chit-chat, a question came up in the chatroom.
“Why was I mad at Izumi earlier…?”
As she read that comment absentmindedly, the events from earlier replayed in Natsune’s mind.
Especially the breath of Izumi tickling her ear and the subtly sweet peach scent wafting through the air.
That made her face nearly heat up again, but Natsune immediately shook her head to clear her thoughts.
“Hmm… I wonder if it’s okay to talk about this~?”
She continued with a voice that seemed completely nonchalant, even slightly playful.
“If everyone hears it and says I’m weird, I feel like I’ll get hurt~.”
It was already 11:50 PM.
Considering Izumi’s usual habits, she was probably asleep by now.
Recalling that made Natsune chuckle softly.
Natsune’s chit-chat broadcasts at this hour often started suddenly without any notice.
As such, early-to-bed Izumi had hardly ever watched these live chats, and she had even lamented to Natsune about it once.
Even on the days she could watch, she usually ended up falling asleep midway.
“C-Couldn’t you let me know in advance…?”
Natsune felt glad she had rejected that request.
– Natsune is weird normally, so it’s fine.
“Ehhh~. I don’t think that’s something you should say to an idol!”
Though not as bad as Izumi’s supportive players, Natsune’s eighth star fandom had its mischievous side.
The difference was, Izutomo teased her because they enjoyed Izumi’s reactions, while the eighth star teased to play slight tricks on a girl they liked.
Natsune’s pure, innocent laughter and reactions to their mischievous jokes had already become a solid pattern in her broadcasts.
– So, what happened?
“Hmm, okay. I’ll tell you. You see? When Izumi suddenly was controlling my character earlier? It’s not like she took my keyboard and mouse or anything….”
Saying this, Natsune recalled the situation from earlier again.
“Izumi suddenly leaned against my back, overlapping her hands with mine to move for me. …Hmm. This doesn’t sound right…. How do I explain this?”
– Was it like a back hug?
“Ah, yes! That! It felt like a back hug. I was really surprised, you know.”
– Were you excited?
Natsune smiled wryly at the straightforward question.
“Umm… To be honest, I was a little excited!”
– Huh?
– Nanalize, tehe!
– Were you tempted?
“Right, right. In that moment, I wondered if she was tempting me, you know? Anyone would get excited if a cute girl like Izumi suddenly did that from behind….”
– Mei-chan is still in high school, Natsune…
“Ehh~. I’m 17 too, so there’s no problem! In fact, Izumi is the older one~. Anyway? Girls are weak to these kinds of situations. It’s not a matter of feelings; it’s a situational thing! Anyone would see it as Izumi tempting me.”
– Definitely sounds like it…
“Right? But suddenly after winning the game, Izumi looked at me and smiled, like she didn’t know anything at all. Isn’t that just too much? Study the hearts of girls, Izumi Kainoh!”
– Does a current JK really need to study the hearts of girls…?
“That does sound odd when you put it that way. But you know what? Izumi really does sometimes act like a total heartthrob…. Generally, she’s just an adorable girl who makes you want to protect her.”
Right. That’s why she’s probably called the enchanting woman among members and fans.
Natsune chuckled at that thought.
“Anyway, so that’s how suddenly shy Natsune ended up getting mad!”
Suddenly, her theatrical voice made the chatroom start to bloom with laughter.
– LOL!
– Definitely sounds like Izumi-chan was in the wrong, huh? LOL
“Right? No matter how much I think about it, I’m not the weird one! Ha, really….”
– But if it’s Izumi-chan, she genuinely wouldn’t realize, would she?
“Not that she wouldn’t realize; it’s definitely that she had no idea! She looked at me until the end as if she didn’t understand why she was getting scolded!”
– So, Izumi-chan isn’t bad then?
“That’s not it! In fact, that makes it even worse! I want her to take responsibility for my excited heart!”
Natsune shook her head firmly at the chatroom’s words.
In Natsune’s heart, Izumi was already guilty.
“And you know, because of that incident earlier… I realized that Izumi will definitely make many girls cry in the future….”
– Didn’t she already make a lot of the Stars Flow members cry…?
– This is going to be 100% clipped.
“Please definitely clip it! After all, I’m not the bad one, right? Izumi needs to realize how bad the things she’s done are! Playing around with a girl’s heart is the heaviest crime in the world!”
– Mei-chan has become a criminal.
– Nanalize has arrived…
– Is another trial going to be held?
“It might happen. Hehe….”
As Natsune giggled and looked at the clock, she noticed it had already passed midnight.
It was time to slowly end the broadcast and prepare for tomorrow.
As the leading idol of Star’s Flow, Natsune had many exterior obligations.
She had to move busily from the morning again tomorrow.
“Well then, I’ll be going soon. Everyone, mata Natsune~!”
– Mata Natsune!

[【Chit-Chat】Anyone Want to Play Together!!! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]
Tonight at 7 PM, there will be a collaboration with Natsune!
Of course, the collab content is Phantasm Chronicle.
It seems Natsune practiced alone even after I went home yesterday.
She sent me a screenshot saying she cleared all the intermediate missions in DMs.
So from today, we planned to have 1:1 matches or custom 2:2 team battles with the viewers.
But the fact that Natsune kept practicing alone even after I went home…
I’m so moved by her passion for winning….
Anyway, since I had nothing to do before that, I started a chit-chat broadcast.
– Mei-chan, did you see that clip?
There were quite a few of those questions in today’s chatroom.
They were probably referring to the clip that came up during Natsune’s guerrilla chit-chat yesterday.
Now even Natsune has started to conspire against me.
What kind of sin have I committed…?
“I’ve seen it but… I was just trying to purely teach Natsuri, you know? I mean, isn’t it strange to learn about girls from a current JK…?”
Of course, my heart wasn’t completely pure, and a little selfishness was involved.
– Mei-chan, who doesn’t understand the heart of a girl…
– Poor Natsune.
– It’s absolutely Mei-chan’s fault!
I tried to protest like this, but no one sided with me.
But I stood firm.
“In the first place, it’s Natsune who misunderstood a JK!”
Yeah. I’m definitely not in the wrong, right?
Sure, it’s not like Natsune is truly bad, but… for now, I’ll let it be that way.
– But Mei-chan is older than Natsune, right? LOL
– Are you shifting the blame onto your favorite now?
And the chatroom erupted in flames.
Why?!

[【Phantasm Chronicle】Training for the Tournament Begins!!! Work Hard to Keep Up, Natsune! #KainohIzumi#NatsuneNanase#StarsFlow]
“Natsune, have you thought about what other characters you’ll practice besides Natsuri?”
[Huh? Is it okay to say that here? What if the other teams find out?]
“It shouldn’t matter…? I don’t think we need to hide it….”
We’re going to keep doing practice broadcasts anyway, and there will be team battles.
[That’s true…. Okay. For now, I’m thinking about Estelle and Satori, whom everyone recommended yesterday.]
– Estelle and Satori, huh.
– Bringing characters that are easier for beginners.
Estelle and Satori.
That’s definitely a decent choice.
No, I should say it’s a good one.
Estelle is easily able to support allies from a distance, and Satori is a character filled with area stuns.
Far better than Natsuri, who requires single stuns and basic attacks, which can be tough for beginners.
“So, are you giving up on Natsuri entirely?”
[Hmm…. I hope Izumi would recommend that~.]
I think Natsuri isn’t bad performance-wise either, but….
“Then how about you practice Estelle and Satori a bit, and after that try Natsuri…?”
– Sounds like a decent compromise.
– It’s a shame to completely abandon the character you started with.
If you learn how to mix in Natsuri’s normal attacks, you’ll boast some powerful damage.
It’s true that I should be using a high-difficulty melee dealer, but having Natsune prepare Natsuri as a joker card wouldn’t be too bad, either.
Above all….
[Yeah, that sounds good!]
Natsuri is a character that Natsune likes.
Even though we’re aiming for victory, Natsune fundamentally entered the tournament to enjoy the game with the members, after all.
So, I hope she would choose a character she likes.
[Then shall we start! Ohh!!]
“O, ohhhh…!”
Thus began our journey toward winning the tournament.
