Has Something Changed? (3)
“Hey, hey hey hey! You can’t jump there!”
“I didn’t jump because I wanted to, okay?! And this isn’t a competitive game! It’s a co-op one!”
“U-um… you two, please calm down…”
“I can’t calm down!”
–wwwwww
–LOL
–Whose fault is this, really? LOL
–Pretty sure it’s Yukitoki’s fault lol
–They have zero teamwork lol
–Forget teamwork, there’s no consideration for each other at all lol
…It’s a total mess.
If you asked how things got to this point, well—there’s a lot of backstory.
So, at first…
—
“Hello, I’m Ichinose Natsu from V-Spe Gamers!”
“Hi~ I’m V-Spe’s first gen, Yatokami Toya~”
“This one is Inari, hmpf.”
“…What is that, a new character concept? It’s awful.”
“Wha—?! That’s so rude! I put effort into that!”
And just like that, chaos from the start.
We hadn’t even introduced Koyuki yet, and already the voice chat was full to bursting.
How can a stream sound this crowded from the get-go?
–LOL
–So where’s Yukitoki-chan?
–If you’re gonna argue, at least finish introductions first lol
–Poor Yukitoki-chan got skipped over…
–草 (lol)
“Come on, you two. Chill out. We have a guest today, remember?”
“Yup~! The crested ibis buried in snow, Yukitoki here! Yay~”
Excuse me, you have your own mic, so don’t talk into mine, please?
I sighed as I pushed Koyuki’s face away from my mic.
She really wasn’t even trying to hide it anymore.
–LOL
–I wasn’t sure at first, but now I’m positive lol
–Wait, is she Nacchan mk.2?
–Yukitoki-chan LOL
–Classic “secretly became a VTuber behind Natsu’s back and now they’re doing collabs together” story arc
–So that’s what this is, huh? LOL
They were surprisingly sharp.
Sure, the details were different, but the overall vibe? Pretty similar.
Anyway.
“Today’s game is called Tie Together!”
To explain briefly: four characters are tied together with a single rope and have to navigate obstacles to climb a tower.
Well, I’ve played games like this before.
And it’s three people from the same agency plus a literal twin?
Easy win. Eaaaaaasy win!
“Wait! Shouldn’t we go in order here?!”
“No way! It’s better to jump all at once!”
“U-um…”
…I, too, once thought things would go smoothly.
That hope was crushed not even ten minutes in, when Toya and Inari started arguing.
I’d forgotten that Toya and Inari are somehow both compatible and incompatible.
–LOL
–This is a disaster
–Is this the power of Gen 1 bonds…?
–V-Spe Gen 1 is officially cancelled…
–Honestly, if it were just Nacchan and Yuki-chan, I think they’d clear it easily
–Can’t believe these two just met today and already have perfect synergy lol
Honestly, everyone had long entered “just enjoying the chaos” mode when it came to Koyuki and me.
Like, Ohh, I knew it. Let’s just have fun~ kind of mood.
“C-come on, everyone, calm down! We can do this! We can clear it!”
“Ahaha! This is hilarious! When one person falls, it’s like a chain of sausages all going down!”
Koyuki didn’t care whether we were progressing or not—she was just enjoying the situation itself.
…Well, as long as she’s having fun, that’s fine.
This wasn’t a “let’s clear the game” stream anyway—just a casual collab.
“Wait, Natsu. Are you seriously just gonna end the stream if we don’t clear it?”
“…Ugh.”
“So disappointing~ I didn’t raise such a weak little Natsu, you know~”
“Who are you calling the little one, huh?”
–They’re fighting again LOL
–But their fights are so cute
–So who’s the older sister, anyway?
–By debut date, it’s technically Toya, right?
–But in terms of seniority, isn’t Nacchan practically a grandma?
–She’s got white hair, so maybe she is a granny LOL
Who the heck is calling me grandma?
Still, I guess being treated as older than Koyuki is better than the alternative.
“…You’re okay being treated like a granny? Really?”
“As long as I’m considered older than Yuki, that’s fine. So, wanna try calling me Grandma?”
“Grams.”
–LOL
–She accepted it too easily and responded just as easily
–They’re such a joy to watch
–Granny LOL
–Granny Nacchan~
–Wait, that’s actually my grandma’s name…
No, no, this isn’t the important part!
While goofing around with Koyuki, I lost sight of the most critical thing.
“W-wait! No fighting on stream! No wrestling! Hey, stop trying to throw her!”
“AHAHAHAHAHA!!”
It had suddenly devolved into a one-on-one fighting game.
We’d made it this far, and now this?!
Toya and Inari’s characters started grappling wildly, and the log we’d barely climbed began to spin.
And with that spin came the inevitable:
All four of us fell.
“We’re back to the start, Natsu!”
“…Yeah, I noticed.”
I had no idea how we were supposed to get through this.
Step one: get Toya and Inari to stop fighting.
“Then how about this—no ending the stream until we beat the game.”
“…You’re serious?”
“You’re the one who kept provoking me—why so surprised now?”
–That reaction screams, “There’s no way we’re clearing this with those two”
–Nah, if Toya and Inari actually get along, it’s possible
–Do you really think they can get along though…
–Haven’t they been in the same agency for years? If they’re still like this, it’s probably hopeless LOL
Still, if we say we can’t end the stream until we clear it, maybe they’ll try to cooperate?
The game for four had somehow become a Toya-Inari friendship endurance challenge…
But hey, whatever works.
Koyuki was having fun, and I’d feel pretty great if we actually cleared it.
“Come on, everyone, deep breaths! If we don’t beat this game today, no one gets to clock out!”
“…Oh no.”
“…Guess we’re streaming forever now?”
No! Think positive! Try to clear it, not resign yourself!
The distrust between Toya and Inari was way deeper than expected.

[Today’s TonaYui (Toya + Yukitoki) Highlights]
[(Voices explode from the moment the stream starts.MVI)
Natsu was there, and still the voice chat was a mess LOL]
ㄴ[It’s just too loud…]
ㄴ[Inari and Toya are infamous for being loudmouths.]
ㄴ[←But weirdly, they’re not this noisy when they stream solo lol]
ㄴ[←(Inari loves Inari, right? emote)]
ㄴ[←(Toya: “Absolutely.” emote)]
ㄴ[←Ah, so Toya definitely loves Inari!]
ㄴ[←Nope, Toya’s type is a white-haired, mellow bunny, not a tall blonde fox lol]
ㄴ[←LOLOL]
ㄴ[I put my earbuds in and immediately yanked them out in panic.]
ㄴ[I just leave my earbuds unplugged and listen from the speakers now lol]
ㄴ[←Everything is according to the prophecy…]
ㄴ[←(Yukitoki, god of the indies emote)]
ㄴ[←(Yukitoki, savior of VTuber culture emote)]
ㄴ[Yukitoki is god-tier. And untouchable.]
[Natsu and Yukitoki clearly aren’t even trying to hide it.]
[(Natsu calling her “Yuki” on first meeting, and Yukitoki calling her “Natsu.”MVI)
They’re clearly not trying to hide they’re twins lol]
ㄴ[Proof they’re twins: Natsuki LOL]
ㄴ[They’re not even bothering to hide their voices now lol]
ㄴ[←They do sound slightly different, but it might just be speech style.]
ㄴ[←Energetic Natsu vs quiet Yukitoki. The contrast is great.]
ㄴ[←(Natsu’s twin♡ emote)]
ㄴ[How did they know this was exactly what I wanted?]
ㄴ[←Twins are the best, right?]
ㄴ[←I legit want to have twins now.]
ㄴ[←Whoa, don’t go making those decisions in Korea lol]
ㄴ[←Every time I see Natsu and Yukitoki, I just wanna get married…]
ㄴ[When they stream separately, I’m like “maybe they’re similar,” but together their voices are identical.]
ㄴ[←Even their character artist is the same lol]
ㄴ[←Honestly, their avatars look the same too…]
ㄴ[←Not exactly the same, but similar enough it feels intentional lol]
[I drew fanart!]
[(A rabbit, ibis, cat, and fox all tied together.JPG)
Hope you like it!]
ㄴ[So the rabbit is Nacchan, the ibis is Yuki, cat is Toya, and fox is Inari?]
ㄴ[The rabbit’s panicked face is too cute lol]
ㄴ[Classic enemy dynamic: cat vs dog]
ㄴ[←Where’s the dog? That’s a fox.]
ㄴ[←Foxes are canines.]
ㄴ[Furry furry~]
ㄴ[←That’s not furry, that’s just an animal lol]
ㄴ[←Are we really going down this path lol]
ㄴ[←This escalated quickly LOL]
ㄴ[Anyway, the drawing is super cute.]
ㄴ[Drop the Wisp link! Urgent!]
ㄴ[←What’s so urgent LOL]
