That smartphone game with the shootouts
The day after the Marshmallow livestream.
Lately, Mei-chan seems to have learned to take breaks—no stream today.
Before, she streamed daily to the point viewers worried, and streams would start at times making you wonder when she even slept. Honestly, with remote work encouraged, her frequency was a relief.
Even though she streams less now, it’s still every three or four days. Is that a lot? Or is it less?
Now that she’s collaborating with corporate partners too, I can’t help but feel like a proud parent, realizing just how big she’s become.
A little teary-eyed.
“No stream today… guess I’ll play some games.”
I’m not working today (Will I get scolded? What’s that about?), so I figure I’ll play some of that game I’ve been hooked on lately, Wild Action.
That game’s pretty fun, huh.
It eats up insane amounts of phone storage, so I play it on my PC, but yeah, it’s fun.
The player base is… Oops, someone might be coming.
I feel like I play it quite a bit when Mei-chan isn’t streaming.
Thanks to that, my rank has gone up quite a bit.
But I only ever play solo, you know.
“Alright, maybe I’ll try a duo match for a change.”
It’s not like I’d be socially awkward in a 4-player match or anything.
Absolutely not!
“Whoa, matched up already.”
The hardcore spenders in this game have gear that’s all shiny and flashy, guns that gleam, and tons of skins featuring characters from anime and game collabs.
Me, still stuck with my starter gear and skins? Tears in my eyes.
Seriously, aren’t there a lot of collabs lately?
I swear, I thought there was just an anime collab, and then like two weeks later, it’s already switched to a different one.
On the lobby screen, you wait in the waiting area until the team is full.
Oh, it’s Eve〇.
That one’s Den〇, and that one’s Mr. Go〇, right?
It’s a full-on collab skin festival.
Being a popular game, people steadily gather in the waiting area.
Ah, but my duo partner isn’t wearing a collab skin!!
Somehow, that’s reassuring.
I saw the name L-san.
Huh? That image popped into my head—white shirt, jeans, hunched over, sweet-tooth character.
“Uh, uh, nice to meet you.”
Gotta say hi, so I turned on voice chat and spoke up.
“…Nice to meet you.”
Huh, a woman???
“Ah, nice to meet you… too.”
Female players are rare… Just as I was thinking that, it seemed to start, and we were teleported onto the plane.
“Where are we going?”
『…Here』
This time we matched on the peninsula.
The place she chose was… the town right in the middle.
“It’s a hot zone… Can you handle it?”
『Sure. What about Rei ?』
“Bring it on.”
The two-player battle began.
