You Know Them, Karona-chan!?

And then, a stylish female avatar wearing a black polo shirt and holding a golf club walked out from behind Kurokawa Othello.

"This person is… Karasuba Kurona…!?"

"You know them, Karona-chan!?"

"Well… umm… the name just slipped out on reflex, but, is it okay for me to say it…? Compliance-wise."

[Joabou]: "ojou, able to be considerate, how admirable!"

[@tam323]: "othello-kun already said the surname part, so it's fine, maybe?"

This went back to when Karona had gone to hear the scout pitch at Niconoir Production. Despite appearances, Karona was perfectly capable of considering company compliance and the like.

Glancing over at Karasuba Kurona, Kurona smirked and nodded.

"No issue. You may say everything you know. I'll grant my permission."

"Eh, really? All of it?"

"Yes. All of it's fine. Including the interview."

Is it really okay? When Karona glanced over at the other Niconoir-affiliated B-Caster, Kurokawa Othello, he shrugged and affirmed it with, "Well, isn't it fine? Karasuba-san says it's okay."

"So, who on earth is that? Tell me, Karona-chan!"

"Um, is it really okay to say aloud… it might be that sort of thing after all, so lend me your ear…"

"Mm-hmm… I see! When you went to affiliate with Niconoir, this was the avatar they had prepared as your reincarnation vessel, Karasuba Kurona!"

"You said all of it!? Wait, senpai!?"

[@FE_Sofiya]: "seriously, so this Ojou-sama was ojou then!"

[Kusashige Renga]: "another… me! is what this means!?"

[@smallwind]: "are they making a rookie use the avatar, or did someone reincarnate into it…?"

At Akari's casual blurting of the whispered content, Karona frantically tried to cover her mouth, but it was already too late. The story had gone out completely over the stream.

Karona might be playing the Ojou-sama, but the person behind her was a small-fry commoner. Naturally she panicked, but Akari just smiled and said:

"Karona-chan. They said it was okay, so even if something happens, we won't be held responsible. It's fine! The viewers are all witnesses!!"

[Oreshi0436]: "huh, us?"

[@beruki]: "suddenly being made a witness lollll"

[Akaringoo]: "oop, it's Niconoir we're dealing with. go for it, Akari-chan!"

[Comoon 3]: "the archive will keep the statement on record too, so plenty of evidence"

"Is it really going to be all right… wait, hey!?"

Apparently used to tangling with Niconoir themselves, the senpais' viewers gave their assent with practiced ease.

"What's the matter, I'm the one giving permission, so it's fine. Makes for a nice accent to the stream, doesn't it?"

"Also, you carry yourself so haughtily, but aren't you a rookie yourself?"

"Kuku, haughty I am. For you see, unlike that commoner Ojou-sama wannabe over there, I am a real Ojou-sama! And I have quite a bit of sway at Niconoir Production! I, truly, am the golfer Ojou-sama, Karasuba Kurona!!!"

So saying, Kurona jabbed a finger sharply at Karona.

"Karona-chan! You've got to fire back here!"

"Eh? Eh?"

"Come on, come on! Fire back!"

"Um… I-I see. A golfer Ojou-sama, then!"

"That's right, Karasuba Kurona! Our Karona-chan is second to none when it comes to Slime Golf!!"

"Eh? Akari-senpai? I never said anything close to that, you know?"

"Ho! Very well. If it is said that she is second to none at golf, then I, as a golfer Ojou-sama, have no choice but to throw down my glove. Let us settle this with Slime Golf!!"

"No, I didn't sa—"

"Karona-chan! Let's take her on! Right!?"

[Gogogo Akaringo]: "Akari-chan? coercing a rookie into a duel isn't very nice, y'know?"

[Yukidamama]: "Akari-chan goes full throttle when it's Niconoir…"

[Ocomoon]: "go for it, rookie Ojou-sama! don't lose to the other rookie Ojou-sama!"

[@huhum]: "if the leader accepted the duel, we've got no choice but to back her"

[Kochoran]: "all I can say is, go Ojou… Ojou can win, I want to believe!"

[Marimo-Youkan]: "opponent's skill level is unknown so… well, well?"

And thus, with half of Karona's will ignored outright, a golf showdown between Ojou-samas was decided.
