Max decided to play along because he noticed that they had a streaming icon above his head. It was small but was still visible.
'Ugh... I used them to get more views, and now they are doing the same to me.' He thought. 'It can't be helped.'
"Tell me if I am wrong, but isn't it called a date when a man and woman do something together, just with the two of them?" He responded with a straight face, pretending to be oblivious. "Is it wrong if I call playing together a date?"
"You're not wrong." Flexy nodded repeatedly, "Going out with a girl and having fun together is a date."
"I see, so you think playing together was a date," StoneSword added, nodding in understanding. His expression was as cold as a stone, and his gaze pierced him deeply.
"Next question then. Why do you feel disappointed that we invited you to play?"
"Right! I wanted to ask about that." Flexy shouted. He leaned forward and slammed the table with his hand.
Bam!
"Buddy! Why were you disappointed that we asked you to play together? Do you really want to have a date with LilyPixel that much? Are you that type? Hoes before bros?"
"Mind your word, Flexy. My sister is not a hoe." StoneSword interrupted sharply.
"My bad." Flexy unexpectedly backed down and smiled wryly. That expression soon turned into a frown that resembled a thug. "Are you choosing a girl before a bro, huh?! Tell me, buddy. Tell us what you really think!"
Hearing Flexy's question, Max's expression fell. He had one thing flashing in his mind.
'Woah, this guy is really annoying.'
Did he consider this annoying guy his friend and actually depended on him a few times before? Knowing that fact made Max rethink his decision.
'I can't say that I just went along with the viewers' flow either... At least not this fast.' He thought. 'Let's add a more dramatic moment.'
"Kuh!" He bit his lower lip and lowered his face. After a while, he raised his head and spoke with a bitter expression.
"It's not like I chose a girl before my bro. But, you know? My viewers teased me for being maidenless! I even missed the heroine in the Knight's Journey. Is it wrong if I have a little bit of hope of being close to a girl?!"
He finished by throwing his face away from both of them. His face looked sad, sorrow was clear in his expression.
Naturally, it was all just an act. Even the viewers caught on to his act.
— Woah, Breeze's acting is top notch.
— If I don't watch this on Flexy's channel, I would think this is serious
He certainly didn't expect him to do that.
'He's way too polite and sincere.'
"I was just joking, StoneSword. I don't really mind what happened earlier. Well, except for the fact that Flexy tied my hand. I knew that was his idea."
"Hehe, you're not wrong about that." Flexy laughed stupidly and puffed his chest, "Anyway, that was fun and all. We found out that Breeze will be maidenless forever."
"I hate you, Flexy."
"I like you too, Breeze."
Max groaned at his ridicule while Flexy laughed happily. StoneSword also joined the laugh, even though he sounded a bit reserved. Meanwhile, Flexy's chat blew up.
— As expected, Breezy
— I-I must write this
— NAAAHH, the girls are down bad. Flexy is trying to make Breeze maidenless
— Please, girls. Don't make Breeze embarrassed
— Breeze's fans here! For girls only, you can DM me and access a secret forum!
— ... I have nothing to say.
Oblivious to that, Max decided to ignore both of them and set his stream. He went to the corner and chuckled maniacally.
'Laugh while you can, Flexy. You won't be able to soon.'
Not only did he change the title of his stream, but he also added a description of the other's streaming link. Finding their Punch account was pretty easy, so he didn't need to ask them. Surprisingly, their stream layout was pretty clean, and they added his Punch link to their description, too.
'Well, at least I don't look like someone who was desperate for a girl earlier. All is well, and I also guard my image too. They think it's all scripted while I was actually kidnapped without getting told anything.'
The positive was he would probably get more viewers from their channels in the future. He just hoped that the ones who came to his channel would be sane individuals only.
'Okay, everything is set. I had also created a new server for us to play.'
Max stood up from the corner and looked at both veteran streamers. It seemed like they were talking to their viewers while he was busy.
"I am ready." He called out to them with a loud voice to get their attention, "I also prepared the server. I will message the server code and will be waiting inside."
