「Konyuiー」

【Konyuiー】

【It’s collab time!】

「Yes! Today is a collab like I’ve announced, a collaboration!」

「………」

「Kuroneko-san. Kuroneko-san? You there?」

【Uh-oh】

【She ran away under enemy fire】

I feel sick. My head feels nauseous. My whole body is turning pale.

I was forced to blankly stare at the call screen and repeatedly open and close my mouth like a carp.

A call in front of thousands of people……？

This is impossible……。

「That’s weird? The call is connected but there’s no sound. Maybe her microphone is broken」

【Stream accident？】

【Accidents are a daily occurrence for Kuroneko-san】

【It’s the first time with a mic though】

Gradually, the chat began to fill with words of worry from Natsunami Yui’s fans and「Hurry up and come out」from Kuroneko San’s fans.

Aah, in just a few days, my fans already know how to handle me.

I’m sure that they’re recalling the scene of my first stream within their heads.

In that case, it’s do or die……

「Ko, konbannya……」

「Kuroneko-san!? Your volume is too low!?」

【Wrong, it’s just that her voice is small】

【So is her stature】

【And above all, her chest】

Snap.

「Who are you calling a flat-chested, broke-ass komyushou with a shitty small fry mentality!?」

I think there are things you should and shouldn’t say!?

「Alright! With that out of the way, today will be a proper collab with Kuroneko San-chan. Yaaay– pachipachi–」

「I, I’m looking forward to today’s collab」

「There’s not enough energy in your voice Kuroneko-san, c’mon, be more cheerful–」

Th, this girl.

Earlier, she said she was a komyushou, but no matter how you look at it, she’s no amateur and is clearly experienced in moving the conversation forward!

She was definitely a pro in her previous life!

「Y’know, this time’s collab was suggested by me. I’ve actually wanted to collab ever since the time I saw your first stream」

「Ue!!?」

「It’s because on the first streams that everyone was anxious about, there was no newbie who would do those kind of crazy things!」

「C, crazy things……」

Script leak. Forced to end stream in 15 minutes. Breaking character settings. Want to be spoiled declaration.

Huh? Why am I still allowed to be a Vtuber……?

「I believed that “it would be an absolute blast if I collabed with this girl!”」

「Tha, thank you for the compliment?」

【She’s giving you high praise 草】

【It’s cause throwing water balloons on the verge of bursting at others is fun】

【↑That’s too evil lol】

【Kuroneko-san is speaking less than usual, I wonder if is she is okay?】

【It was too early for a komyushou to collab……】

「Now, without further ado, let’s move onto the marshmallows!」

After she said that, Natsunami Yui switched screens.

It seems that she chose the marshmallows beforehand but didn’t tell me any of the contents.

In other words, I have to blindly carry on through the stream without any script or practice. It’s a hardcore mission where I have to fight against Natsunami Yui with ad-libs, which she excels in.

Isn’t this too harsh of a self-imposed challenge even for a second playthrough of life?

「Alright! Here’s the first one!」

『Kuroneko-san, Yui-chan, hello and good morning or evening to you two. Since you wanted questions for a collab, I would like to ask you for your honest first impressions of each other!』

「Like I said earlier, I thought she seemed like an amusing and cute girl. What about you, Kuroneko-san?」

「Aah, umm. First impression. First impression……」

During the entire call, I was hiding and lying low so I could barely remember anything anyone said.

And during the debut streams, I got scolded by my manager so I missed her stream.

What that means is that the first point of contact between me and her was actually the call from earlier.

Therefore……

「Brown-haired big-boobed youkya……」

「Ha?」

【No good】

【Don’t just say whatever comes to your mind in a collab!】

【Is your brain made of sponge?】

Natsunami Yui is a brown-haired JK with a side ponytail.

Unlike me, her character is a party-type person with a lewd appearance; currently, she wears her uniform loosely which emphasizes the valley in between.

It wouldn’t be a lie to say that this is precisely one of the reasons that my matchup with Natsunami Yui is terrible.

The management will undoubtedly prepare a new illustration of her lying down, suntanning, while making a peace sign when summer comes around.

「U, umm. Let’s move on」

【Unbelievable, she killed off Yui-taso’s energy with one sentence】

【The user wasn’t even thinking of anything】

【Why did the collab turn into a battle?】

【Youkya vs inkya vs darkrai】

『I have a question for the two JK’s! Please tell me genuinely what type of guys you are into!』

「So the question is about preferences this time〜. As expected, with two beautiful JK’s put together, there’s bound to be topics about love!?」

【I’m interested】

【If it happens to be me, what should I do】

【↑Don’t feel down about it】

【They haven’t even said anything yet!?】

「I guess I would prefer a man who’s reliable. Someone who would help me right away when I’m in trouble! It’d be even better if he asks for nothing in return!」

【The last part’s a bit tough〜】

【Somewhat realistic】

【Could it be me?】

「What about Kuroneko-san?」

「Umm, I don’t really like men……」

【Fa!?】

【It actually happened?】

【A shocking confession】

I occasionally forget but I am a former male.

It’s been more than ten years since I’ve been born into this world as a woman so my awareness as a male is practically nonexistent. I’ve lost my sense of discomfort a long time ago.

Even so, the feelings instilled within me over the years wouldn’t disappear so simply. As one presumed, there are still traces of my male mindset here and there.

My inability to see men as romantic interests is one of those traces.

However, it’s also doubtful whether I could view women as romantic interests……

「Eeeh. Mmm. What should I say?」

【She’s really troubled】

【You chose the wrong collab partner…】

【Still counts as a light accident?】

【You’ve only realized it now?】

Even I, who have been repeatedly called a ponkotsu recently, can understand.

The one who created the delicate mood on this stream is me.

Even though conversing with people wears down my mind, I still gave too much control over the conversation to my partner.

This is a stream that everyone has been anticipating so I have to extend the conversation, expand on the subject, and liven things up.

「U, umm! Today’s weather is quite nice!」

「Eh, ah, yeah. You’re right」

End of convo.

【It’s come to the point where she has to bring out the weather deck!】

【Her growth of trying to start a conversation, I felt that】

【That’s one small step for mankind, one giant leap for Kuroneko San】

【Mr. Neil Armstrong is watching】

「Okay! Next, let’s move on」

『Excuse me, this is my first marshmallow. Do the two of you 2nd gen members have any 1st gen senpais you respect or admire?』

「There were a lot of questions regarding our senpais~. But just because I didn’t mention the other senpais doesn’t mean I don’t respect them, okay?」

【It’s okay】

【It’s better to not mind it】

「Nn–, if I were to talk about someone I respect, it would have to be Kinomiya Kirin-senpai. I admire her because she’s a cheerful and serious honors student! She’s someone who’s able to bring together all the first gen’s despite their peculiarities! I adore her〜」

Kinomiya Kirin.

In a way, she is the senpai who inspired me to step foot into this world.

Although she’s the leader of first gen and is appointed to release announcements and host events, she isn’t actually the leader and is in a disadvantageous position.

Speaking of which, Natsunami Yui gives off a similar vibe to Kirin-senpai.

「I’m…interested in Matsuri-senpai, I guess」

「Matsuri-senpai is also coolー. How should I put it, she gives the feel of a cool and popular woman」

【On the topic of Matsuri-chan, she said that Kuroneko-san caught her eye】

【Aah– that stream earlier】

「Wha!? I was so nervous that I didn’t get to watch that stream earlier. That’s incredible, nya」

【Isn’t your voice lovestruck!】

【Don’t try to flirt with your “nya”】

【MatsuNeko TeeTee?】

Sera Matsuri

【Jiii–】

【Matsuri-chan!?】

【You’re here!】

「Awawawa Matsuri-senpai has descended upon us」

「Ah, I forgot to give you mod so I’ll give it to you right now」

Sera Matsuri

【Kuroneko-san let’s collab next time】

「Wueee!?」

「Senpai!? What about me!? This is my stream!?」

Sera Matsuri

【I think it’s fine if you do it with Kirin】

【Perhaps: you’re pouting?】

【Cute?】

And so Matsuri-senpai said what she wanted to and left.

I knew from watching her streams before but from beginning to end, she went along at her own pace.

But I wonder if she is serious about the collab.

That development was too quick and sudden, it’s likely lip service.

「An, anyhow, let’s regain our composure and move on! Timewise, it seems like this will be the last one. Eh–」

『Arutema! (Greeting) I’m always having fun watching your streams. Especially the day before yesterday when Yui-chan had to get to the top or else the stream won’t end. It was rather funny when she ended the stream normally in 40 minutes without falling off the mountain even once. Now then, among all the 2nd gen members who have made their spectacular debuts, who would the two of you want to collab with? I’ll continue to support you two so please keep it up』

「Oh. I’m sorry for falling off not even once! Next time, I’ll do something like getting like getting to the top multiple times in a row!」

【The future ahead of you will be hell】

【I lol’d at how quickly it ended】

【She’s planning on having an endurance stream but it’ll just be a race against her viewers】

「Okay! About our next collab, is it? But even then, there’s only seven members within the second gen. The other ones are Ries=Elu=Lislitt-san, Owari Nagauta-san, Izayoi Ouka-san, Towa Otoha-san, and Gaou Kamitachi-san. Waah–, everyone’s so unique」

「Gaou Kamitachi, what a name……」

【Could these two actually be the decent ones?】

【Kuroneko-san is decent?】

【At least Yui-chan is decent right!?】

【Yui-taso is the one with common sense】

「A, ahaha thank you. That’s right, I’m a common person」

She laughed dryly.

「The person I were to collab with next, let’s see～, Ries-san seems safe, I mean, fun I guess」

【It’s like minesweeper】

【Shhh】

「I don’t really want to coll……」

「Nn??」

「Ah. I’ll go with Towa Otoha-san」

Towa-san is the most tame out of all of them.

Whether or not we get along, they seem like someone who’s pleasant and I don’t really need to be cautious of, that’s my reason.

While answering questions, an hour had passed since the start of the stream.

It’s about time we can end it without anyone complaining.

「Alright! Then it’s about time we end the stream」

「Yaay–」

「Should we extend it by one more hour?」

「Sorry」

After saying good grief, she goes on to say some announcement and directs the conversation towards me.

No but, there aren’t any announcements to be made……

「Ah–, okay. I think I’ll end it here. Please subscribe, turn on notifications, like, and follow my Twitter! I’ve put Kuroneko-san’s channel in the description so please check her out. Well then, bye bye」

「Bye nya–」

Borrowed cat is an idiom meaning someone acting meek and docile compared to usual. I could've put meek as a lamb or something like that but the author was probably trying to make a joke about her catgirl character.

I hope I didn't mess up the other members' names...
