After that, they look at various daily posts together.

Photos of famous tourist spots, camping, and going to the beach, etc.

Rikyuel looks at those posts and says that he feels sad.

[Wow~These people always say they can’t live without me,but looking at this, they’re having fun alone?]

[That was all a lie?You’re jokingYou believed it?You’re so naive that it’s easy to fool them?]

[This is really too much~! You guys don’t play with people’s hearts like that.]

Rikyuel makes a face of pure resentment with no empathy or sensitivity whatsoever.

He feels like going to financial therapy with his pouty face, but he holds back since his bank account is empty this month.

However, this is also the usual WWE.

Rikyuel changes his pouty expression as if it’s nothing and changes the subject.

[Anyway, this reminds me of something. I have a question for you.]

[Baemons who go out and play so much, if you were to go on a date with Rikyuel, where would you want to go?]

Date?

Normally, I would have just dismissed it as one of the common chat topics.

Rikyuel would often ask me this question.

Like, what would you wear if you met him?

I could just observe it because I felt that it was just a hypothetical story and a distant story.

However, for me, a date with Rikyuel was right in front of me.

There wasn’t much time left until the date that Yua had asked to go on.

I became more focused and absorbed in the broadcast than usual.

Then, the viewers’ answers, mixed with various tastes, poured out.

[A movie theater]

[A hotel]

[I just want to invite you to my studio]

[A PC room]

[A date at Lumia Island?]

[How about Summoner’s Rift?]

Hmm.

It was the same chat window as usual.

Rikyuel looked at the chat window that was quickly popping up.

The line of donations that followed was even more impressive.

[An anonymous sponsor donated 1,000 won!]

[Knowing that…?]

[An anonymous sponsor donated 1,000 won!]

[First of all, I want to go to a gloomy place. Yes]

As honest reactions came up on her instincts,

Rikyuel sighed as if she knew this would happen.

Her pink twintails fluttered as she shook her head.

[Why are you taking me to a gloomy place?It’s a date?]

[No matter how I look at it,

I think you all need to cleanse your brains once in a while.

Yeah, yeah.

You all have problems right now.]

[And I will never go to Lumia Island, even for a date! Never!]

…This is too much.

Why are you doing this to the users?

Rikyuel draws a sharp line.

The 50 million island game users nationwide shed tears at the firm rejection.

Of course, even I, who say such things, would never do it.

[Where do you want to go? Oh, then I should do that. Rikyuel Date Briefing Session.]

This isn’t an entrance exam briefing session, what is a date briefing session?

Laughter flows out at the ominous wording that sounds like a shrimp boat boarding briefing session.

[Okay, everyone. Listen carefully. If you date like this, you can capture Rikyuel’s heart!]

[The Rikyuel Date Briefing Session will begin.]

Still, the viewers go along well with Rikyuel’s harsh words.

They set the tension of the briefing session with applause emoticons and chatter.

But isn’t this something I really need right now?

In a situation where we haven’t even decided on a meeting place or what we’re going to do.

Perhaps it was a good situation where I could hear everything Yua likes from her own mouth.

Even though we’ve been friends for 10 years, we’ve never talked about the date courses we want.

[Let’s assume it’s a first date.]

[Then it’s hard to go too far. Should I choose a place nearby?]

[Hmm. Then when I go on a date, I want to have a little fun together? First, I want to go to a large arcade.]

[Why? There’s something like that. Like an arcade on the second or third floor of a large building.]

An arcade…

To be honest, it wasn’t a course that I would normally choose for a first date.

Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts because similar responses came up in the chat window.

[An arcade on a first date…]

[It’s a date course, but she’s so immature.]

[Rikyuel is definitely a guy, huh?]

[She just likes games.]

It definitely wasn’t a place that women would choose for a first date.

It wasn’t a place where you could engage in a casual exploration of the other person.

It was also a place where it was better to show off your broken appearance rather than your pretty appearance.

[Why? What’s wrong with an arcade! I don’t like going on dates because it’s gross.]

[Because you can’t act all cocky and careful anyway. [#142] She’s just a dopamine addict, so it’s fun to do things together.]

That’s a truly Rikyuel-like answer.

… Well, it’s true that Yua can’t do that.

The reason she can’t be cute is because she’s shy and can’t be flirty.

Maybe it’s because she’s been with a guy like me since she was little.

The word coquetry sounded like a word that was quite distant from her.

[You should act coquettish]

[Your nose is so weak]

[A dopamine addict again…]

[But I like that you’re honest, okay?]

Everyone’s thoughts are different, but I don’t think it’s bad.

It’s better for her to be cute and act pretty in front of me.

It’d be much more natural and cute if she were to be honest like that.

[You two play games together, and when you tell me what you’re good at, how nice is that?]

[Yeah, and I like someone who’s good at claw machines. I told you before. I have a lot of dolls in my house.]

It was a topic that came up occasionally.

The story about Rikyuel’s room being invaded by dolls.

In particular, she said that her bed was completely covered with dolls.

She sleeps like a shrimp, squeezing in between the dolls, to the point that there is no place for her to lie down.

It was natural that she liked cute characters.

Yua drew cute illustrations of pretty girls, and she started watching the anime because they were cute.

How could someone who hates cute things be a YouTuber in the first place?

[A man who goes with me and says, ‘Pick this for me’ and immediately picks it out. What do you think? Isn’t it cool, guys?]

[You don’t think it’s cool? Why isn’t it cool? You guys really don’t know how to be cool. It’s cool. If you pick it out in one go.]

I guess her emotions were a little twisted.

What kind of man is usually cool?

When you ask that question, it was an answer that no one would easily come up with.

Who would say, ‘A man who is good at picking dolls is cool!’?

It’s really trivial to wish for.

My life’s wish is like scorched rice, so it’s cute.

So.

“…. Should I go practice picking dolls first?”

I muttered to myself, remembering where the arcade was nearby.

Haa.

I don’t even have enough money for living expenses this month.

Burning money on a doll?

It was really hard to look cool to my favorite.

2AM.

After finishing a regular broadcast, I collapsed on my bed.

“What should I eat…? I’m hungry.”

I tried to restrain myself from eating as much as possible while broadcasting, so I mostly starved.

I think I’d just occasionally eat a few crumbs of cookies.

I’d go on the delivery app and look for food, and then suddenly an idea would pop into my head…

So where are we going with Jibin?

We made plans to go out and hang out, and then we parted ways.

However, after K-promised to contact me, I didn’t contact him.

In fact, I didn’t like him, but did I accept because I thought it would be awkward for me…?

For a moment, I wondered if I was being tactless.

I said it indirectly because I was afraid that if I rejected him outright, our relationship would be ruined.

I was scared that he thought I liked him and asked for permission to go on a date.

I had said those words out of anger, so I couldn’t even decide where to go.

However, since the topic of dating came up on the show today,

I just had a thought.

“Is an arcade a bit too much for a first date…?”

I thought it wasn’t a typical date course.

Usually, going to the movies, eating, and going to a cafe was more standard.

Anyway, most of the viewers who watch YouTubers are men, and when I thought about how their reactions weren’t that great,

I started to wonder if my tastes were strange.

I wanted to go to the arcade, but Ji-bin might not like it either.

“No.Yu-ah. You decided to change!”

I consoled myself.

I was trying to avoid it like I usually do, surrounded by anxiety, but I knew that wouldn’t work.

I had to somehow make progress in our relationship before Jibin got a girlfriend.

He was about to start school.

My risk level would increase if Ji-bin went to school.

It was scary, but I still sent him a text message carefully.

[Hey]

He replied less than a second after I sent my text.

It was nice that he replied quickly.

In the first place, Ji-bin wasn’t sleeping at the time.

[oo Say it]

[Why didn’t you contact me last time when you said you’d contact me?]

[I thought you’d contact me first since you spoke first]

Ugh.

I was an idiot to worry about that.

… Does this get worse if you do it first?

It was just a childish fight like making the first move.

Well, maybe he was just too embarrassed to start the conversation.

[Anyway, okay. Okay. Okay. More important things.]

[What is it?]

[Is there somewhere you want to go? With me?]

My heart started pounding for no reason as I typed out the text.

Honestly, I said it didn’t really matter, like a movie theater, but I thought it would be nice if Jibin asked me to go.

They say the one who likes you more goes along with it and loses.

In that sense, I was willing to go along with Jibin a lot.

…As long as he liked me.

[oo It didn’t exist, but it did exist]

[Really? Where is it?]

[Why, there is. There’s an arcade near our ststation.I’ve been wanting to go there for a long time?]

…Oh, an arcade?

How did he pick out places I want to go so amazingly?

If we were going on a first date, I thought I’d go there…

I feel good so I quickly reply to him.

[Oh really? Then let’s go there. I like that too.]

I find myself thinking at his reply.

It might sound too nerdy to think like this,but it seems like even our thoughts are similar.

“Could this be fate for me and him…?”

I found myself laughing and fantasizing about it without realizing it.
