[–The following news. A well-known male streamer has been arrested for assaulting a woman with whom he was dating.]
A few days have passed since then.
The suspect, Jinguuji Tooru, a streamer, abused his female partner in a park in Tokyo in April. He was arrested after a friend of the woman filmed the video as evidence.
“His partner’s friend……did tell her to say that?”
At Mei’s house, watching the news, Kurogane looks at me and smiles.
“It would have been fine if you were acquaintances, but I guess she wanted to make it clear that she was dating Jinguuji. As for whether you were friends…well, it would be better if she said so because it wouldn’t be suspicious.”
“We weren’t lovers or friends. And in the end, is that person gonna be rounded out as a victim?”
Mei, sitting next to me, has a complicated look on her face.
“No, even though she was the victim of the violence, she was carrying out the things she has done up until now, even if it was ordered by Jinguuji. …See.”
[Jinguuji has admitted to the charges and has revealed the involvement of several people in the previously rumored extra crimes, which will now be investigated.]
“Jinguuji will probably reveal everything during the interrogation, so she won’t end up as a victim.”
“I see. He said it would be his last revelation in the park, but he’s gonna make a big scoop revelation in the interrogation as well, so maybe he really did have talent.”
“Haha, that’s an unusually funny thing to say from a sexy vixen.”
“…..Is that supposed to be Mei? Shall I call the security company? It’s a top-of-the-line system, you know?”
Mei says with a smile, but the expression on her face is not smiling.
Kurogane whistles and turns away. If you’re going to fool around, you shouldn’t have started the fight in the first place.
“Oh, we’re gonna meet Marmro san and Ado san to talk about it.”
“They misunderstood each other, weren’t they?”
Marmro san said he wanted to apologize to her, but he thought it would be better not to meet with Ado san, who is a minor. But Ado san wanted to see him and talk to him.
“Oh, he wants to get back together with her, doesn’t he?”
“Maybe. Well, let’s not pry any further into it.”
“Oh, yeah, some famous sexy vixen might expose him, and things might get messy again.”
“……I heard that the employees of the security company are former self-defense guards, martial artists, and so on. Would you like to give it a try?”
Why are they picking fights again?
As such a mood of disquiet flowed through the room, the intercom rang unexpectedly.
“Oh, it looks like someone’s here.”
Mei went to the door to greet the visitor.
“Come to think of it, that email from the porn producer had nothing to do with that.”
“Oh, that one. I called them and asked them about it, and they said they don’t use that kind of email address. Since she’s a high school student, they thought they wouldn’t check, so they probably used a random name to intimidate her.”
“Well, that’s about it……”
“Senpai, Nanaka chan is here.”
Sena Nanaka, who was brought into the room by Mei, gave a small nod to me and Kurogane.
“H-hello.”
“Oh, this time’s big hit has appeared. It’s an empty house, but please take your time.”
“…This is Mei’s house. Please go home.”
Nanaka laughs at the exchange between the two of them.
She is 24 years old, two years older than me, and wears her brown curly hair hanging down from her left shoulder.
She wears red rimmed glasses, but I feel that they are more of a sex-enhancing item than an intellectual touch.
That’s probably because of her flamboyant appearance and erotic body shape that seduces men.
However, after talking to her a few times, I found out that she has a rather quiet personality. She herself has told me about that, and that she used to be a gloomy, shadowy person, although she made her appearance flashy.
She was such a great help to me in this case.
“Thank you for helping me with this case.”
“No, that’s……I just spoke and acted as Kurogane san instructed me to. Ah, I’ll give you this back.”
Nanaka san hands Kurogane the earphones in the case.
We were close by listening to the incident between Jinguuji and Nanaka san at the party venue.
Nanaka san received Kurogane’s instructions through the earphones and mixed an aphrodisiac with a high alcohol content liquor and made Jinguuji drink it.
She went to a hotel with Jinguji, who was drunk, dazed, and aroused by the aphrodisiac–and after making him say the words he wanted to record, he went inside the room and rescued her.
“Really, I’m glad I rescued you before he did anything to you. Right, Nanaka chan.”
“Yes, I was very scared. When men get drunk, they become like such beasts……. The male characters in anime are more gentlemanly, but this one is a beast. No, a beast character is more gentle.”
“Ah, Nanaka chan.”
“Ah, I’m sorry, it’s just a habit…….”
Nanaka san seems to have a habit of getting into her own world when she concentrates on something.
When Mei brings her back to reality, she bows her head repeatedly and apologizes to us.
“But I’m glad to have made friends with Kanatsu Kanako san !”
Nanaka san puts her hands together and smiles.
Kanatsu Kanako is famous for not having done many collaborations before.
The few times she has collaborated, the number of subscribers to her partner’s channel has always increased dramatically, and there are even rumors that if you collaborate with Kanatsu Kanako, you will succeed as a streamer.
That is why it was more beneficial for Nanaka san, who was originally invited to the party, to become friends with Kanatsu Kanako, rather than with Jinguuji, and that is why she agreed to this request.
“Oh, um……from now on, you don’t mind if I ask you to collaborate with me, do you?”
“Yeah, of course. Tell me about the games you usually play, Nanaka chan.”
“Ah, yes ! Let’s see, recently, you know…….”
Nanaka san looks extremely happy as she explains to Mei the game she is playing on stream.
Kurogane asked her while tilting his head.
“I don’t really understand, but is collaboration really that good?”
In response to Kurogane’s question, the happy smile on Nanaka san’s face disappeared in an instant.
“…Kurogane san, have you ever talked to a wall for eight hours straight?”
“Eh, no, I haven’t…”
“I have. When I started streaming, I had zero viewers. The comment section was also blank because no one wrote anything for a long time. At first, I was quietly streaming games without talking because there was no one there. But the stream would remain on video as an archive. No one would subscribe to my channel if they saw a video of me playing a game in silence, right? So I talk even if no one is watching. I’ll say, [Here’s what happened today.] I’m talking about how cool the characters in this game are. But soon I ran out of topics. If someone says [Good morning] in the comments section, I reply [Good morning. What did you eat today?] I can say, [I had an omelet today.] I can continue the conversation. But I don’t have any viewers, so I don’t get any comments. But if I don’t talk, the number of subscribers won’t increase. That’s why I sit in front of the computer and talk all the time. When I first started, I would talk for about eight hours by myself. I would try my best for the first hour or two, but if the number of viewers was zero after about four hours, I would think, [What am I doing?] I would do that day after day. But it didn’t increase. So sometimes I would open the page on my phone and see the number of viewers is 1, and I would be happy. I’m like, [Wow, one person watched my video.] I thought about commenting on my own work because it’s hard to talk alone, but I decided against it. Yeah, I felt like I couldn’t go back to a life with zero viewers. So—“
“Yeah, okay. I’m sorry, I won’t say it again, please forgive me.”
Perhaps looking into her darkness. No, this is something that all streamers who are just starting out have to deal with.
And we thought in our hearts, without saying it out loud, that we would continue to be friends with her.
