Three hours since the stream started.
The sight of hell began to flash before their eyes.
\n
「I, I didn’t think that diamonds were this hard to find……」
\n
They relied on the knowledgeable viewers to progress through the game so the probability of them digging at the wrong level is next to zero.
Simply put, Lady Luck abandoned the two of them.
\n
「It’s almost midnight, should we tell Mikan to end it?」
「If the viewers will allow it……that is」
「…………These guys, they seriously have zero traces of a human heart within them」
\n
『No can do』『Trying to run, Yuugure?』『The endurance stream is here–!』
\n
「…………No choice……Let’s keep going until we find it」
「That black-hearted citrus fruit<sup>1</sup>, what is she thinking…….It’s fine even if she ends the stream about now」
『Ringo is sleeping』『Mikan-shi drank alcohol and is now sleeping soundly』『It’s hell on both sides』
「Haa!? Sleeping!? Hey, who’s going to stop the stream?」
「…………I have no excuses for Ringo-san, but we should find it quickly and end it even if it’s just us two……」
「No, what you said is right. We’ll use the falling asleep stream to get on trending!」
\n
Having made a common enemy, Yuugure and Masaki recovered their morale.
\n
They pulled themselves together and started mining again.
\n
「Speaking of which, Yuugure-san is on really close terms with Ringo-san. How long have you known each other for?」
「Me and Mikan? Uuun, I’m not sure……probably a little over a year?」
「One year……that’s quite a long time」
「This industry has only been around for two to three years～. If you think about it that way, it is long」
\n
The Vtuber business began around 2016. In the first two to three years, only passionate fanatics knew about it. The Vtuber business has actually grown for, at most, three years.
\n
「How did you two to meet each other?」
「How……I don’t remember」
\n
Yuugure asked the viewers.
\n
Upon asking, someone replied『Wasn’t the talk collab the first?』.
\n
「Ah, I remember. A year ago, I got flamed」
「You say it so nonchalantly……」
「It was pretty serious. I acted differently from my advertised seiso character and because of that, the people who came for that character snapped. I got flamed from that」
「Seems like a typical Yuugure-san episode……」
\n
But this is a fairly famous episode that even Masaki has heard about.
\n
Right when Masaki decided to become a Vtuber, he saw the fearsomeness of flaming with his very own eyes and thought『The Vtuber world is so terrifying……』.
\n
「And y’know, since I was getting flamed, nobody would collab with me. But in the midst of that, Mikan said『Do you want to collab?』」
「Should I say she has exceptional courage, or extremely good senses……Maybe Mikan-esque……」
「Needless to say, even I was surprised. When I tried to talk to her, it was quite comfortable to do so. And we became close friends through that」
\n
The episode of the beginning of a friendship between popular Vtubers matches her personality in eccentricity.
\n
「You two are always insulting each other but you’re good friends after all」
「I guess～. Naturally, I get along well with my senpai's and kouhai's but if we’re talking about other companies, Mikan is the easiest to talk to」
「She’s a wonderful person. She’s skilled in leading and directing the conversation and is restrained with her abusive language」
「Masaki-kun Masaki-kun」
「What is it?」
「I hate her now」
「Why!?」
\n
Even though there was a good mood going on earlier, Yuugure threw it all down the drain. It’s if she’s saying it with a tension of「Our tastes are completely different」in the air. Sure enough, Masaki was also astonished.
\n
Meanwhile, comments like『She’s jealous 草』『Ringo is a good woman after all～』『The woman closest to Masaki’s heart was Mikan……?』provoked Yuugure.
\n
「Let me tell you about her, Masaki-kun. She sleeps with her belly button out, she’s an alcoholic, and she spews out abusive language on the daily, okay?」
「Even if you list out all those awful flaws…………」
「You should stop pursuing her. Un, stop before it’s too late」
\n
『Pretty sure you also use abusive language』『Where did the bonds of friendship from earlier go……』『Masaki isn’t like you who goes around making everyone your love interests』
\n
「Shut the hell up! Friendship can go eat shit for all I care!!」
「Let’s just……play the game……」
\n
After Yuugure got more geared up, she vigorously started mining again.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Three hours later.
\n
「……aah, there it is, diamooonds」
「I, it took……so long…………」
「Yaaay, it’s dooone. Time to sleep」
\n
Masaki’s character traits changed from「Pitiful」 to 「Unlucky」in the viewers' eyes.
\n
Like this, the third hellish collab turned into a long stream ending at 6 hours and 42 minutes.
\n
「That shithead Mikan, I’ll remember what you’ve done, ahahahaha」
