Chapter 30: # Masagure’s Hellish Collab (Christmas Stream) 1

“Nooooow……it begins tuuuudeeeeey. Theeeee fiiiifffffffth, Masaguuuuuuuu r r rerereeee heeeeeeellish collabbbbbbbbb (Translation: Now, it begins today. The fifth Masagure hellish collab).”

“Why is the title announcement done by a certain Anago-san?1 Also Mikan, your impersonation is totally off.”

“Now, it begins, the fifth Masagure collab Christmas stream. I’m the host, Ringo Mikan.”

“You’re hosting with quite a straight face……”

On December 24th, Christmas Eve, the stream that could be said to be the most anticipated one this year in the Vtuber world has started.

“Let’s call in our guests. First is her. A woman who has had zero luck with Christmas ever since she was born, Yuugure Tsukihi-san.”

“Hey, stop trolling me. You’re the one that suggested the collab so I went out of my way to make room in my schedule so what’s with that attitude, huh? Hello, here to deliver presents of love to everyone! I’m the santa of love, Yuugure Tsukihi!”

“Lmao.”

“Don’t just say lmao.”

The one who let out a moe voice, almost akin to a cupid, is Yuugure Tsukihi. The viewers’ reaction was also huge as they commented 『As expected of an introvert』『You don’t know about Christmas and stuff……?』『Quit being a santa. You’re gonna crush children’s dreams』.

“And the other is him. The one without any good Christmas memories, Masaki Arima-san.”

“I talked about how I was cheated on during our first collab, but I actually found out about it on Christmas day…………thanks for inviting me today!”

“That’s not funny, Masaki-kun, you can’t laugh at that…………”

The comment section also comforted Masaki with『I can really sympathize with that』『That’s vile……』『It’s okay, there was also an unfamiliar man in my home when I came back from work on Christmas!』.

“Anyhow, today’s show is brought to you by these two who have failed miserably on Christmas.”

“It’s none of your business!”

Yuugure complains in desperation but it had absolutely no effect on the orange-wearing Ringo.

“I will now explain what we will be doing today. This time…………『How well do they know they each other? Let us test their knowledge♡』is the name of the game.”

“Indeed, it’s a very stupid-sounding theme.”

“The idea is simple. First, you two will answer several questions, such as『what’s your type?』. Afterwards, you will take a guess at each other’s answers and we will measure your understanding of each other by the difference in the prediction and actual answer.”

“Leave it to me!! If it’s about Masaki-kun, I know everything there is to know!!”

“Trying to guess about Yuugure……? Sounds difficult……”

Hearing the details, Yuugure showed confidence while Masaki showed unease.

But well, Yuugure radiating confidence is a regular thing.

“And we will be having the viewers take a guess beforehand. I would like to see the overall results of those votes as well.”

“That means we’ll also know what our viewers think of us.”

“Exactly.”

“By the way, there are over ten thousand responses in total.”

“Alrighty, let’s get this going!!”

With Yuugure’s yell as the opening, the main act began.

“We’ll start off with an easy one. Let’s have Masaki-san make his prediction now.”

“Y, yes!”

“Here’s the question. It says『How much cash does Yuugure usually carry in her wallet?』. It’s a mild topic since it’s the first question.”

“Money in her wallet, hmm……”

Masaki shows a pondering look. To fill the silence, Yuugure asked a question.

“By the way, how much does Masaki-kun carry around in his wallet~?”

“Me? Uhh, probably 20, 30 thousand yen……?”

“Oh, like I thought.”

“What about Mikan?”

“I don’t carry around that much. Might not even have 10 thousand yen.”

“Oh, really. Not like I care.”

“You’re the one that asked……”

The usual practiced two-person comedy act between Yuugure and Ringo occurs. In the meantime, Masaki continues to think of an answer.

“Fufu, Masaki-kun is thinking about me with everything he got……!! Aren’t we like a couple already?”

“‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.’ Indeed, it’s a statement from a person with only flowers in her brain.”

“It was just a joke…”

“Now, since it seems like you’re really brooding on it, I’ll give you a hint.”

Ringo ignores Yuugure and brings out a huge chart.

The chart is the so-called pie chart.

“This is what the viewers predict for the contents of Yuugure Tsukihi’s wallet. According to the viewers’ predictions, 50% says『Above 100k yen』, 40% says『Below 100 yen』, the rest are somewhere in between.”

“Bufu!”

“Once again…………this is a daring prediction.”

“Hey viewers? Just what do you guys think of me?”

Yuugure directs an angry tone towards the viewers. In response, the viewers also showed various reactions like『lol』『Probably a pie chart that doesn’t treat you as a human』『Say that to Ringo who made that Below 100 yen response section』.

And to Yuugure’s questions, Ringo answered them.

“Well then, let’s get some excerpts from the voters’ answers. First, the above 100k yen people say…『Feels like she’d bring 100k yen without thinking anything』『Runs to the convenience store to pay her bills?』『Probably pays 100k yen for a 20k yen product』and such, there were a lot of opinions like that.”

“There isn’t a single decent opinion…………”

“You can really see how the world perceives Yuugure-san……”

“Moving on, the below 100 yen answers are……『Has no friends so there’s no chance to use any money』『Doesn’t leave home so there’s no opportunities to use her wallet』『Cuz it’s Yuugure』.”

“What do you mean by ‘cuz it’s Yuugure?’”

Yuugure’s anger starts boiling with bubbles toward her viewers’ merciless words.

Sensing that, Masaki presents his answer before that happens.

“I, I got my answer, Ringo-san!”

“Okay, let’s look at the answer, don!!”

The answer written on the whiteboard is reflected on the stream feed.

“My guess is, 200k yen!!”

“Masaki-kun is on that side too!?”

And so, the Christmas collab opened with an exhilarating start.

By the way, Yuugure’s answer was『25 yen』.

Anago-san refers to Anago from the show Sazae-san. Mikan’s line is imitating how the character talks (tone, rolling r’s, etc.) so I couldn’t think of any real way to translate that.
