After playing three rounds of pro-hopple, an hour had passed.

“Well, I guess I’ll call it a day.”

“’Yes, that’s right. We’ve already played for an hour.”

This time, we won all three games.

“See you later, guys!　If you want, you can subscribe to my channel too!”

“Please subscribe to my channel!”

[I’m here from Rinka-chan!]

[I’ve subscribed to your channel!]

[I’ll continue to support you!]

The comment section of my stream was filled with such comments.

“Thank you very much. I basically do a lot of live video games, but occasionally I do live-action videos, so please watch them.”

[Roger!]

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I’ll be back.”

We ended the broadcast when we had gone through all the comments.

“Thank you very much for today.”

“It’s my pleasure too!　It was a lot of fun.”

“I’m glad. I had fun too.”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s do it again.”

“Yes, by all means.”

With that, I ended the call.

“I’m tired.”

I leaned back against the back of the gaming chair.

I was concentrating and operating the keyboard and mouse was quite tiring.

I rubbed the corners of my eyes.

I have another day tomorrow, so I’m going to bed early.

I had an appointment with Rio tomorrow.

We were going to do a live stream with live action.

♢

The next day, I was meeting Rio at Shibuya at 17:30.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“I was not waiting, so don’t worry about it.”

Saying that, we started walking side by side through the streets of Shibuya.

“I was so happy to see you yesterday.”

“Hmm?　Well, it was fun, but were you watching?”

“Well, I was just curious.”

Rio said without making eye contact.

“I guess you don’t need me anymore…”

“No, it’s not like that. I need you.”

I told her the truth as it was.

When I was about to lose the light, it was unquestionably Rio who shone a new light on me.

“Yes, thank you.”

Rio’s cheeks turned red as she spoke.

After a short walk from Shibuya station, we arrived at the office.

Today, too, they were holding the studio.

We had something to tell the audience.

Once in the studio, we started preparing for the stream.

Today, we were not doing a live game broadcast, but rather a chat session.

Announcement from Takamori & Rio, high school pro-gamers.

∙ 44356 people are standing by.

Yes, today is the day when the members of the Pro-hopple Japan Tournament will be officially announced.

The Kanto tournament has already finished, but we will be participating from the Japan tournament based on our performance.

We have not yet announced anywhere that Rio and I will be competing as a duo.

That’s why I planned this live stream to share with all the viewers.

“As usual, there are quite a lot of people here.”

“Yes, it is. It’s only ten minutes to go.”

“I’m sure there will be more from here on out.

We were expecting a huge number of simultaneous viewers again today.

We sat on the sofa and waited for the start of the broadcast.
