Today was the day that I promised Rio to do a live stream.

Recently, I feel that time flies by in an instant.

I was meeting Rio in front of Hachiko at Shibuya station.

This is a standard meeting spot in Shibuya.

The time was 6:30 p.m. It was almost time to meet.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“No, I haven’t been waiting that long.”

Rio was wearing a black one-piece dress again today.

It looks a little different from the last one, but it suits her very well.

I’m still in all black.

“I thought Ryo would wear black anyway, so I decided to match it too.”

“It suits you. Thank you for matching me.”

I’m simply happy that she took the trouble to let me know.

“Well then, let’s go.”

“Yes!”

My office is just a short walk from here.

“Here.”

I pointed to the office building.

“I knew Ryo’s office was a big one, but it’s in a great place.”

“Well, maybe so.”

It is one of the biggest offices in the industry with streamers, idols, and actresses.

“Well, let’s go.”

I get on the elevator and press the button for the 9th floor.

Then I use my ID card to unlock the door.

“Shirase-san?”

I called out to Shirase-san, who was working at her desk.

“Takamori-san, we’ve been waiting for you. I’ve reserved the studio. Please come in.”

We followed Shirase-san.

“Please feel free to use this place!”

“It’s huge!”

“As expected of a major company  …….”

The studio was one of the largest owned by the office.

The studio is so spacious that it’s too big just to play a live game.

The director of the company said that Rio-san and Takamori-san would play together, so she held it down for you.

“Thank you very much. Please tell the manager thank you.”

“Yes, I’ll let her know.”

“Then, let’s start preparing for the stream.”

We set up the camera, set up the lights, and set down the greenscreens behind the couch we’re sitting on.

We’ll be ready when we do the work to transfer the game screen to the streaming system.

“Rio, how about like this?”

“Hmmm, the angle of the lighting could be a little more like this.”

Rio is fine-tuning the lighting.

“Yes, perfect!”

“Just as expected”

“Right?”

Rio is proud of herself.

“Ryo, sit here for a minute.”

“Oh, oh.”

I sat down on the sofa as Rio told me to.

“I’ll do your hair.”

Rio then waxes and sprays my hair.

“How is it?

“Great, Rio.”

When I look at myself in the mirror, it looks twice as good as when I set it myself.

“I’m good at this. I’ll do it again when you show your face.”

“Thank you.”

I am not particularly talented in anything other than games.

That’s why I sometimes become envious of Rio.

“Well, it’s time to go.”

“Right.”

It was 10 minutes before the announced stream time.

We sat side by side on the sofa and looked at the reservation screen.

“This thing isn’t broken, is it?

“Uh, yeah. I think so.”

What we saw on the screen was something we couldn’t believe our eyes.

The live broadcast of high school pro-gamers Takamori and Rio’s racing game.
