Akari-senpai's Planned Stream Begins!

Akari-senpai's Planned Stream Begins!

And so, between clearing manager-designated dungeons (the manager role being something Yuki-senpai was doubling up on) as a corporate-affiliated B-Caster, and holding tea-party streams (free-talk streams) with Kokuyou, the day of Akari's planned stream finally arrived.

(It had been confirmed that a Karona-POV stream was also fine, and that this one would count as a corporate stream as well.)

"Hi everyone～! Thank you for tuning in to today's planned stream by me, Hoshizora Akari～!"

The stream hadn't started yet, but several B-Casters including Karona had been summoned to a meeting-room space inside Hoshizora Production.

Presumably these were B-Casters called in via Akari-senpai's personal connections. Ten people in total, Karona and Akari-senpai included. A fairly sizable group.

Besides the Hoshi-Pro senpai, Karona didn't really know anyone here… … Whatever sort of stream might we be embarking upon today, she wondered. Depending on how things went, she might even strike up a fast friendship with someone and trade friend codes; such delightful possibilities lay before her.

"We're not streaming yet, right? As we went over beforehand, today we'll start the streams the moment you enter the dungeon! I haven't told Karona-chan yet what kind of stream it'll be, so… … go easy on us! C'mon, Karona-chan, you too!"

"Eh, eh? Ah, y-yes, pleased to be working with you all～!?"

When the suddenly-called-on Karona bowed her head, she was greeted with "ahh," "another one of Akari's victims, huh," and "nice to meet you～"; accepted without any particularly bad impression.

"Now please head to the venue dungeon～! It's Mansion of Death: Starlight Special Edition. I've sent the password to each of your individual chats!"

"Hm? That dungeon name sounds vaguely familiar… … W-well, no matter. O-Dungeon, in～!!"

And so, each of them entered the dungeon.

Once inside the dungeon, she found herself in a white room. It was reminiscent of the default home before any settings have been configured, except that a table and a memo had been placed there. Apparently this was one of the individual waiting rooms assigned to each participant, and things would start once everyone had finished their stream prep.

And apparently, it was fine to start their respective POV streams from here.

Well then, let's get started right away, Karona thought, and she began her stream.

"Kon-Karona～. Today it's Akari-senpai's planned stream～!"

[Oreshi0436]: "kon-Karona～! been waiting for your stream!!"

[Joabou]: "it's here! ojou's stream!!!"

[Kusashige Renga]: "kon-Karona～! white room. it's a waiting room, huh"

[@tam323]: "[100 JPY] kon-Karona～"

[Kochoran]: "kon-Karona～! oh, the stream started"

Ever since going corporate-affiliated, the momentum on her stream comments had ramped up on a whole different level. Start streaming and comments are already flowing in… … wonderful… … Imagining tears welling up, Karona dabbed gently at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Her feelings were something like, From sheer joy, the tears are spilling over～!

"Today is Akari-senpai's planned stream～! It's going to be a game dungeon stream～!"

[@FE_Sofiya]: "Akari-chan's plan, huh"

[Marimo-Youkan]: "this'll be fun. watching with the main stream in a 2nd window"

[Oukashuu]: "that Akari plan… … oh, the thumbnail on the main stream just changed too"

"They're saying it in the comments too. Today's main stream is on the corporate channel, so for the overall view, please head there～. Participating B-Casters besides me are streaming from their own POVs apparently～! The main stream's URL is pasted into this stream's description, so please check it out～!"

[Hao]: "blatantly reading her cue cards lol"

[Akineko]: "ojou, do your best～!"

[Genryuusai]: "btw, does ojou know what the plan is?"

"Ahh, whether I was told the plan or not… … Actually, I wasn't told a single thing, since it's supposed to be a day-of surprise. For reference, I'm currently in a dungeon called Mansion of Death: Starlight Special Edition～! My heart's all a-flutter at the horror-ish name… …!"

[Jack@]: "ah. hmmmm"

Some of the sharper-eyed viewers seemed to have picked up on what kind of dungeon this was.

"Hold on? What is it? What can you possibly tell from the dungeon name～!?"

[Matsumoto Daichi]: "can't say"

[Tsuredure]: "can't say. no spoilers"

[@huhum]: "impressed. this is an Akari-chan plan"

What on earth… … she thought with a shudder, but decided to proceed with the stream anyway.

"W-well, the prep's done for now, so I'll hit the ready button and move on～! … … Ara, a countdown. Looks like I was the last one. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting～… … well then, we've already entered the dungeon, but shall I do the usual?"

[Karuari]: "saved by the countdown"

"4, 3, 2, 1, zero～! O-Dungeon, in～～～!!!!"

Pashuun, Karona slipped through the ring of light, and the screen blacked out and vanished.

And at last, Akari's plan begins.
