「Alright let’s move onto the next question.『What do Tsukihi-san and Arima-san think are the strong points of each other? What about each other’s flaws?』is what it says. Let’s go with Tsukihi-san first, what is your opinion on Masaki?」
Masaki felt that most of the questions were harmless and inoffensive. All the questionee has to do is give a decent reply.
「Let’s see~since I already talked about his strong suits earlier, I’ll talk about his flaws」
「Huh, he has flaws?」
「Of course he does, it’s the fact that he’s too nice to women. He’s kind to the female Livers in Trimming V without hesitation. This sort of unfaithful kindness is his flaw! Yep!」
「Unfaithful kindness…….That’s just being a gentleman」
「No, calling me a gentleman is a bit……」
Although Masaki denies it, the general judgement of the comment section is 『There’s no other Vtuber that is as much of a gentleman as Masaki』
「Then let’s hear from Masaki-san. What do you think are Tsukihi-san’s strong suits and flaws, Masaki-san?」
「It may be rude for me to say this……I think her strong points are that she can really liven up the conversation and speaks very honestly, which makes one feel at ease when they listen to her stream, right? Also, she unexpectedly cherishes her viewers」
「Eh, you’re making me blush……let’s marry」
「Calm down Tsukihi, your desires are leaking out」
「Ma, marry!?」
Yuugure said “marry” in a weak voice as if her heart was melting but the sudden term shook Masaki.
「But it’s the first time someone has said they feel at ease from me‼ My first time! He stole, my first time!」
「Eeh just now, Tsukihi lost her mind. It’s a bit painful to listen to, we apologize for the inconvenience」
「Eeh I’m so happy……Thank you for everything……!」
「No no no. For flaws, it would be that you’re too loose. I think you should be a little more careful……but personally, I quite like your current style」
「Hiiin. Aah it’s no good, I’m falling in love」
「You’re too easy~」
After staring at Yuugure with cold eyes, Ringo quickly changed the topic.
「The next question is this.『I believe Yuugure-san is working as a Vtuber for her primary occupation while Masaki-san is doing it as a secondary occupation. Could you please tell me the merits and demerits to each』is what it says……」
「Eh!? Masaki-kun, you’re doing it as a secondary job!?」
「Yes……Just working as a Vtuber isn’t enough to cover living expenses…………」
「Eh~If you just say the word, I’ll throw you an aka supa……」
「You’re acting like an oil baron all of a sudden」
An aka supa refers to a red superchat, a donation worth 10,000 yen or more.
「D, don’t!! Please stop! That’s money given to Yuugure-san by her precious viewers……」
「My viewers are overjoyed to be able to support Masaki. Right, you guys? Say it」
「They’re saying『Well, to be blunt, giving the money to Masaki-kun instead feels more meaningful』」
「No, I mean it, please don’t do that……! Just, just your feelings of support are enough! I can’t handle it if you give me such a large amount of money out of nowhere……」
「Aah, it’s that. Masaki-kun is the type of streamer that will inevitably get red superchats thrown at him」
The day for Masaki to understand what Yuugure said is still far away but what she just whispered will become reality.
「Eeh but since it’s a side job, does that mean you’re working a part-time job?」
「No, I’m a full-time employee」
「That’s crazy, you’re pretty high spec」
「Tsukihi. Thinking someone is high spec because they’re a full-time employee, isn’t your common sense messed up? But considering that most Vtubers are people who have trouble integrating into society, it is quite rare~」
「It’s just that I can’t live off of being a Vtuber……Sorry for bringing up such a realistic and depressing topic……」
「……!」
Masaki’s fading voice stirred up an emotion akin to a desire to protect not only within Yuugure, but somehow also Ringo.
「Y’know. I’ve understood a bit about why Tsukihi fell in love with Masaki-san. Even though he gives off the impression of a normal capable man, there are gaps within that」
「Oh, so you do understand……wait! Don’t you dare lay your hands on my Masaki-kun‼ I’m making him my gigolo」
「Please don’t turn me into your gigolo!?」
As if putting a stop to Yuugure’s rampage, Ringo asked a question.
「Isn’t it tough to have it as a second job? You stream at night and then attend work the next morning」
In response to Ringo’s change in tone and question, Masaki thought about it deeply and gave a careful answer.
「Well……I will admit it is tough. But my viewers are kind when they watch me so it helps me relieve stress and fatigue quite a bit. I think that if you look at the whole picture, there’s not that much of a difference」
「But having it as your main job is definitely easier‼ I, Yuugure Tsukihi, guarantee it. You should switch it to your main job, Masaki-san! Your fans also wish to see that change‼」
「I think amongst the fans, only Tsukihi would say that……but looking at the viewers’ feedback, there are people saying『Stream more plz』」
「When the time comes that I can live off of only working as a Vtuber……I’ll consider it again」
「Yossha! This year’s objective: change Masaki-kun’s main job‼」
Towards the incomprehensible goal, Masaki laughs it off.
And then, the topic switches to romance.
