After the Line arc of the hell-like collab ended, at a high-class metropolitan yakiniku store.

\n

A three-person girls’ party started.

\n

「Ossu–, good work Tsukihi, Mikan」

「You too～」

「Thank you for your hard work as well」

\n

Two of the individuals are Yuugure and Ringo, who were collabing some time ago.

\n

And the person who entered the private room where the two individuals are waiting is Yuugure’s senpai ―― Midorisaki Zakuro, first generation member of『StuVir』.

\n

Midorisaki joined StuVir before Yuugure and the other second gen members. She’s been active since the time when Vtubers weren't popular yet; she is, so to speak, a pioneer of Vtubers.

\n

Perhaps because of these achievements, both Ringo and Yuugure hold a high level of respect for Midorisaki.

\n

「Have you started eating already? Sorry for being late」

「No, it’s completely fine! Are you fine with draft beer～?」

「Thank you」

\n

By the way, the reason these girls are eating in a private room isn’t just because they’re rich.

Each and everyone of them has a unique voice. Therefore, it’s highly probable that their personal identities will be revealed if they ate at a regular store.

\n

「Midorisaki-sensei, your appearance is so stylish」

「Hey Ringo. I’ve told you to stop calling me sensei. C’mon, let’s have a toast! Tsukihi, say “cheers”」

「Eh–, I don’t know the reason for why we’ve gathered here so I don't understand the meaning behind having a toast, but for now, cheers–!」

\n

Midorisaki has a splendid drinking style.

Ringo drinks sake bit by bit and Yuugure doesn’t drink alcohol so she often drinks orange juice.

\n

「Y’know, both of your subscriber counts have grown considerably」

「It’s not as impressive as sensei’s」

「Senpai is about to reach 2 million after all. Looking at it, we have a long way to go」

「But you’ll surpass me someday. You two are earning quite a lot, right?」

\n

Their conversation began with talks about work and everyday life.

\n

「No, that……but as expected, I’ve had less chances to ride the train. I was always terrible at dealing with crowds so being able to take something like a taxi to the office is a lot more comfortable」

「I get that. I mean, I’m scared of catching diseases from other people on the train. I also try to avoid large crowds like that」

「I hand over most of it to my mother. My mother raised me all by herself so I want my mother to live more comfortably」

「What a faithful child you are, Ringo. Well, that’s one way of using your money」

\n

Oftentimes, Vtubers are only able to talk to other Vtubers.

Even if they talk to people other than Vtubers such as regular office workers, their conversations often wouldn’t work out.

\n

That’s why when Vtubers meet, it sparks conversations between them.

\n

But it doesn’t always end in small talk.

\n

「Oh, speaking of which, I saw the collab earlier～. It was amusing」

「You came to watch us? I appreciate it so much!」

「I don’t think the content was interesting enough to make you watch but……」

「What was it, I think his name was, Masaki-kun? That was nice, he tickled my female instincts」

「You meant Masaki–“san”, right?」

「So you take that attitude even towards your senpai, Tsukihi……」

\n

Yuugure refused to yield on matters regarding that.

Ringo was shocked by her attitude but Midorisaki didn’t mind it at all.

\n

「So, did you really exchange Line’s with him? As expected, you didn’t, right?」

「No, we did! I got it!」

\n

Yuugure’s face sparked as the conversation changed to that topic.

\n

With a bubbly spirit, she showed her phone screen to Midorisaki.

\n

「You really did it……how naive of you, truly」

「Shameful is he who spurns a whatever comes next, something like that!」

「The correct saying is “a woman’s invitation”……but I’m quite sure Masaki-san isn’t a woman inviting you…………」

「Show me show me」

「Ah」

\n

Misorisaki took Yuugure’s phone, and checked her text message history.

\n

However.

\n

「……what’s this, you haven’t texted him anything yet?」

「Because!!……I just don’t know, what I should text him……」

「Sensei, it’s that again」

「Why are you so innocent, when you act like that on stream……」

\n

As expected, this also baffled Midorisaki.

\n

「It’s best to act casual for things like this. Hmm,『Nice to meet you, my name is Yuugure. I’ve had zero prior experience so I would greatly appreciate it if you could be gentle and take the lead for m』」

「WAIT A DAMN SECCC!!」

「What’s wrong, I could’ve sent it just now」

「I stopped you exactly because you were going to send it!!」

\n

Yuugure, with a reddened face, stopped Midorisaki who made a cool yet disappointed expression.

\n

「Seriously, that's why they call you the creator of Tsukihi, sensei」

「How rude. I don’t do those crazy things on stream」

「What you're doing is even worse!!」

「What should we say then? How about telling him your erogenous zones? Umm,『My back is extremely sensitive. Please focus on touching me ther-』」

「I told you already–!!」

\n

While watching the two argue back and forth, Ringo appreciates the perk of having a private room. Especially since Yuugure is rowdy.

\n

「Ah, I sent it」

「EeeeeeEEhh!? Wait, ah, you really did!! What are you doing senpai!?」

「Calm down, there’s nothing you can do about the accidental text」

「No, I can still delete i……he already read it!! It’s, already the end for me……goodbye, my youth…………」

「”Youth,” you’re already 25 years old」

「Shut your mouuuuuuth!!」

\n

Under the cover of turmoil, Ringo ordered another sake.
