Live Streaming with Rinka Sakurada

Today is the day of the collaborative stream with Vtuber Rinka Sakurada.

I am waiting in front of my computer.

I have about 20 minutes before the stream starts, but I’m a little nervous, so I prepare a little early.

“Don’t be nervous ……”

I had been watching Rinka’s videos and streaming archives for this collaboration, so I had a general idea of who she was, but this was my first time actually talking to her.

At the reservation screen for the stream, there were already viewers waiting for me.

Then, 10 minutes before the start of the delivery, a call came in.

It was Rinka Sakurada on the other end.

“Can you hear me on this?”

“Yes, I can hear you.”

I hear a beautiful, or rather cute, girlish voice.

“Oh, thank goodness. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Rinka Sakurada!”

“I’m Takamori. Nice to meet you.”

I think she is a very friendly person.

I think I’m good at closing the distance between people.

“Nice to meet you! I never thought I’d be able to play a game with the best person in the world. I might slow you down.”

“Don’t worry. Games are supposed to be fun, so let’s take it easy.”

“Thank you.”

After talking with Rinka for a while, it was three minutes before the start of the stream.

32890 people are waiting.

That’s what it says on my reservation screen.

Rinka’s screen showed almost twice as many people as mine were waiting.

As expected of such a popular Vtuber.

“Good evening, everyone!　Today I’m going to be doing a pro-hopple game with the world championship winning pro gamer, Takamori-san.”

“I’m Takamori. Thank you Rinka-san and I’m going to have fun playing Pro Hopple.”

The comments kept pouring in as soon as the streaming started, so much so that I couldn’t even follow them with my eyes.

“Well then, let’s get right to the first round!”

I clicked on the screen to start the first round.

“Today, let’s get down to a little gentler place. Let’s go to this pin.”

“Yeah, yeah, got it!”

I chose a place where it was relatively easy for a beginner to scavenge for supplies.

There aren’t many enemies here, so there aren’t many fierce battles.

“I’m going to scavenge this house.”

“Well, I’ll go to the house next door.”

I grabbed a shotgun and an assault rifle.

From there, I pick up grenades and recovery items.

“Hmmm, no sniper rifles.”

I’m the best at sniper rifles, but I can’t seem to find one.

“I found a sniper rifle here.”

“Oh, can I have it?”

“Yes, I have it.”

“Thank you.”

I picked up the sniper rifle where Rinka said it would be.

“Well, how are your supplies?”

“Pretty well stocked.”

“Do you have recovery and stuff?”

“Yes!　I’m picking it up!”

“Well, let’s move on.”

We’ve scavenged most of the houses here.

There seemed to be no enemies.

No gunfire, no footsteps.

“I’ll go get the car.”

This game has an item called a car.

It is much more efficient than running.

On the other hand, if you get hit by more than a certain amount of bullets, the car explodes, rendering you useless, and you can get killed.

“Yes, get in.”

“Roger that.”

We get in the car and start moving.
