Chapter 29: Is this the pajama party I’ve only heard about?
by Afuhfuihgs“Ah, seriously! Then let’s promise to collaborate regularly once a month! That way, there’s no need to worry, right?”
“R-really…?” “…Ugh. Y-yeah! It’s a promise.” “Heh, hehe….”
I was happy. Koga Yang’s suggestion to do regular collaboration streams made me really happy. Of course, it’s not
like I choose to be an outsider with poor communication skills because I enjoy it. If I had to explain, I’m more
comfortable being alone, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want friends. So, Koga Yang’s kindness in offering to keep
collaborating with someone like me made me extremely happy.
“Are you sure you didn’t nod your head to that promise just to be polite? If you don’t really want to, it’s okay not to
do the collab next time.” “…Huh?”
Wait, what does that even mean?
“K-Koga Yang, did I do something wrong…?” Does he think collaborating with someone like me once a month is too
much to handle? Well, it makes sense. Doing regular collabs with someone who can’t even hold proper conversations
and has no social awareness must be exhausting. Maybe it was just too much for me after all…
“Huh? No, no.” “What?” “Izumi, you’re the type who feels more comfortable being alone than doing collab streams,
right?” “Ah, yeah…” “So I thought scheduling a regular collab would be hard for you. The situation was a bit hectic,
so I thought you might’ve nodded your head without really thinking.” “N-no, that’s not it!” “Really?”
To be honest, I am the type who recharges by resting alone, a classic outsider type. After making the promise to
collaborate once a month, I did have some thoughts like, “Can I really do this?” and regretted it a little. But still, I
didn’t want to cancel the promise.
“E-even if it’s tough, I still enjoy doing collabs with K-Koga Yang.” “Really?” “Y-yeah. Koga Yang is a v-valuable
friend to me, after all.” “Is that so?”
Koga Yang suddenly stood up and looked at me after hearing that.
“Thank you for thinking of me like that.” “Hehe….” “To be honest, I was worried that I might be pushing my own
wishes onto you. Like maybe you were just going along with it because it was tough for you. But if that’s not the case,
I’m really relieved.”
Well, I won’t say those thoughts never cross my mind, but I know Koga Yang doesn’t have any bad intentions. In fact,
I’m just grateful that someone like him keeps hanging out with me.
“So let’s keep doing well together, Izumi.” “Yes, p-please take care of me too.” “Then, when I get home tomorrow, I’ll
make an announcement on stream. That we’ve decided to do a regular collab once a month.”
After saying that, Koga Yang flopped back onto the bed.
“Since we’re already here, why don’t we chat a little more before sleeping?”
Even though it was late at night, the conversation didn’t die down easily. Of course, I mostly just listened, but that
alone was enough to make me happy.
“…Hah. I-is this what they call a p-pajama party, like in the animes?” “Well, it’s something like that, right?”
A pajama party with a friend at the end of summer vacation. Have I finally become an insider…?
“I don’t think so.” That’s too harsh…

I’m really sorry, everyone! I’m going to stay over at Izumi’s house, so I’ll have to cancel tonight’s stream!

Dude, that’s weird…
[Recommended: 42 / Not Recommended: 3]
00: Oh
Loo: The crying voice is so funny, I can’t stop laughing
Mei-chanLove: I love Mei-chan I love Mei-chan I love Mei-chan I love Mei-chan I love Mei-chan
ᄋᄋ: It’s all Mei-chan’s fault… It’s all Mei-chan’s fault… It’s all Mei-chan’s fault…
ᄋᄋ: The reason Mei-chan is a disaster
Loo: So cute it’s like a disaster level
RENDER: Whoaaaaaa
ᄋᄋ: This is like a real JK, right?
ᄋᄋ: To think Suzuha witnessed her crying like this? So jealous, is that normal?
Loo: Totally normal
LAccent: Suzuha is being so annoying today
ᄋᄋ: But why was she crying at first? It’s not even dawn yet
└Maker: Suzuha was just joking around, and Mei-chan fell over, and the chair Suzuha was sitting on tipped over.
Maker: So Mei-chan thought Suzuha got hurt and started crying.
Loo: Did she really get hurt?
Maker: ᄂᄂ Suzuha said she was fine, but she just got really emotional.
Loo: So cute, damn…

I’m really sorry, everyone! I’m going to stay over at Izumi’s house, so I’ll have to cancel tonight’s stream!
[Recommended: 51 / Not Recommended: 2]
ᄋᄋ: So are they really dating?
Suzuizu: I guess it’s safe to say they are now?
ᄋᄋ: At this rate, things might really heat up, haha
IMT: So Suzuha wraps up the tired Mei-chan with adult-like warmth after today’s stream?
LIMT: Eventually, Mei-chan will depend on Suzuha, becoming unable to do anything alone.
LIMT: But Suzuha also realizes Mei-chan depends on her and falls into a co-dependent relationship.
IMT: In the end, they’ll be trapped in a swamp of pleasures they can’t escape from…
Suzuizu: Oh…
Loo: Damn, this is hilarious
“Then I’ll be going now. If I contact you later, will you pick up?”
“Ah, I’ll make sure to.”
After sending Koga Yang off, I lay back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Today is August 31st. Once today passes, summer vacation will be over.
Someone, please go to school for me until winter break…
“Ughhh…”
Since there’s only one day left of vacation, I didn’t schedule any streams today.
So now, I’m just wasting time doing nothing, which, in a way, is the biggest luxury in the world.
In other words, I’m the true “Time Killer.”
“Time Killer─” What a cool title.
Well, anyway, today’s plan was simple.
I’d spend my time like this, then wrap up my vacation by watching Nacchan’s stream at 8 PM.
A perfect plan.
If there were a god of time, they would probably stand up and applaud my perfect time management.
“Hmm.”
…But I’m kind of bored.
Could it be because I’ve been streaming almost every day for a month?
[Is Mei-chan’s streaming sense getting sharper these days?]
[Until a month ago, I felt anxious just watching…] [To be honest, those anxieties weren’t anything serious. Naturally,
I’d get better over time.]
[Throwing RP out the window from the start and taking a two-week break can’t be treated as serious anxieties…]
[But she’s cute, so it’s okay, right?]
The compliments I found while ego-surfing felt a bit empty since I was alone.
Well, I used to bring these evaluations to every stream and discuss them.
…Although, I never got the praises I wanted, just sarcasm instead.
Why are there so many abusive fans among the Izutomo…
But everyone must like me, right? Hehe.
“Well, that’s okay.”
Even though I don’t have a streaming schedule, should I try a guerilla stream?
After all, I’m the only one who can think about the Izutomo!
[Guerilla stream! #KainoIzumi #StarsFlow #TLQ]

got back an hour after lunch.”Starting a stream just because I’m bored?
Maybe I’m becoming a pro streamer, aside from being clueless and stuttering!
Well, it’s a problem that I can’t fix those two major things…
“Anyway, as it says in the tags, I’m going to do TLQ after a long time.”
-It’s been a while!
-Didn’t we last do this two weeks ago?
-For sure, Mei-chan’s essence is TLQ.
-Starting with a two-week break is so essential…
-Before we start the game, let me share a fun episode from yesterday with Suzuha!
“Fun episode? Hmm.”
What could it be?
We talked quite late yesterday, but in the end, I was mostly in the listener’s role.
What was the fun part of the conversation yesterday?
“ot.”
Not exactly a funny story, but it was an interesting experience.
“So, um, I had a conversation with Koga before going to bed yesterday.”
-But it was probably just one-sided talk from Suzuha, right?
-Can we even call that a conversation? (Things I actually heard)
“Well, it was our own, um, conversation!”
I even got to hear Koga say she hopes we continue to get along.
They can’t drive a wedge between us with that kind of manipulation.
“Anyway, um, we talked before going to bed, and Koga said, ‘Izumi still has a lot of awkwardness about streaming,
but it’s admirable to see you trying.’”
-That’s a nice story!
-Suzuha is a true angel!
“Right? I was really moved. But, you know, I was thinking about how it feels to hear that from a girl who’s, like,
shorter than me…”
-Oh, hahaha!
-I get that feeling.
-Koga Suzuha 回: Huh?
Hahaha!
-???
“Uh-oh? …Um.”
I think I messed up.
That’s my conclusion after a lot of thought.
I messed up.
No, it’s probably worse than being caught in a sandstorm on Mars!
Koga is pretty sensitive about height…
“B-but still! I really was touched, Ko, Ko, Koga!”
-Maybe it’s too late now?
-Koga Suzuha 回: Hmm.
That’s scary.
More than playing that horror game yesterday, Koga’s single comment is scarier.
Or is it not?
Let’s consider them equal.
-Koga Suzuha 回: Izumi. Let’s talk later, okay?
“Okay, then shall we start with TLQ first?!”
-What is this, a conversation between a couple on the verge of divorce?
-Suzuizu, do you have that vibe?
So, I started a TLQ ranked match.
“Okay, I’m ending today’s stream here…”
-Bye Izumi!
-In the end, I couldn’t win a single match…
-Bye Izumi!
I ended the stream without winning a single match.
[If I talk about such things, it’ll end up as a clip anyway, so what was Izumi thinking when she said that?]
“I’m sorry….”
[Huh. I know Izumi means no harm, but I think we should consider the feelings of the listener too.]
“Ah, I won’t do that again….”
[Well, even though I’m short, I am older than Izumi, right? So….]
And then I got scolded really hard.
But I, the manly Kaya no Mina.
To convey the truth, I won’t be swayed by pressure….
[Huh?]
“I’m, I’m sorry….”
