[【150k Celebration After Talk】Reading Backlogged Hyper Chats and Chit-Chat! #IzumiKainoh#Star’sFlow]
After the celebration broadcast for 150k ended with Natsune and the gathering, I turned on the after talk broadcast to read the backlogged hyper chats after taking a little break.
When I was a viewer, I always looked forward to after talk during any celebration broadcasts, but now that I’m the one doing it, it’s really annoying.
Of course, it’s a way of showing they care about me, so I’m grateful.
But in the end, after talk is just a chit-chat broadcast, so given that my communication stamina is depleted, it’s bound to be annoying…
“Um, well, Mei-chan is totally an angel, EMP, red comet… T-thank you.”
Still, thankfully, it seems like most of the messages are similar because it was a 150k celebration broadcast.
Congratulations on 150k, keep up the good broadcasting, send more hyper chats, etc…
Wait, but isn’t the last one a little weird?
This is clearly not a supportive message for me.
– When will today’s broadcast end?
“Ah, um… maybe until 11?”
The celebration broadcast ended at 9, and I started this one at 9:30, so I think 11 is reasonable.
Even so, I’ve been talking for 3 hours and 30 minutes today, which is a big deal.
– Let’s welcome the New Year together.
– I want to start the New Year with Mei-chan.
“Sorry, but I have a prior engagement with Mom…”
– Please hand your daughter over to me (っ・∀・)っ
“…What’s my opinion?”
– That doesn’t matter.
“Th-that matters!”
As expected, there are too many strange ones among the Izutomo.
There are strange viewers in the broadcasts of other members too, but nothing like this.
Why are there so many weirdos watching my stream?
I don’t get it.
I’m not bad…
= JK Beautiful Girl JP¥ 20,000: When will you read my micaron that you couldn’t read during the durability broadcast?
“Uh, um… Thank you for the red hyper chat, JK Beautiful Girl. Maybe I’ll read it tomorrow?”
It’s not like I forgot about it.
I fell asleep during the durability broadcast, so I thought I couldn’t just leave the micaron unaddressed.
I was considering reading it in this broadcast but decided that the backlogged hyper chats take priority.
Anyway, I’ll be streaming again tomorrow, so I can read it then.
“Uh, Emiri, kudaguda, th-thank you for the time of battle…”
By the way, there are a lot of hyper chats. How many times the usual?
It’s already been over 30 minutes, and there are still so many left.
At this rate, it looks like I won’t be able to read them all by 11.
I guess a 150k celebration is quite a thing, I thought.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll keep the broadcast going after 11.
= Yakisoba JP¥ 10,000: Call me an idiot, perv, loud, I don’t care anymore!
“Y-Ya, thank you for the red hyper chat, Yakisoba. Idiot. Perv. L-loud… I don’t care anymore. Is that better?”
– Not funny.
– I enjoyed it, at least.
– Why are you so indifferent?
– Please show a bit more emotion (シ_ _)シ
“I don’t want to…”
I’ve been curious about why there are viewers who want to hear such things.
You’re supposed to want to hear good things about your favorite, right? It’s natural to want to hear only nice things!
Okay, let’s think this through. If Natsune said something like that to me?
…Uh-oh. That actually feels kind of good.
Could it be that you Izutomo are pioneers in this?
I’ll have to ask Natsune to do that next time.
“Thanks, everyone…”
– Out of nowhere?
– I’m used to Mei-chan doing this now.
★
“Ugh… I’m tired…”
By now, it was already 10:50.
Which means it’s about time to wrap up the broadcast.
Fortunately, I’ve read all the hyper chats.
To be precise, there is only one left.
At first, I thought there was no way I could finish before 11, but there were many similar messages, so I ended earlier than expected.
…I really don’t want to do a talk-heavy broadcast for a while.
I’m only lamenting that I’ll have to talk a lot again tomorrow because of micaron.
“Lastly, I’ll read this one and end my stream…”
= Spirit of Stretching JP¥ 50,000: Congratulations on 150k, Mei-chan! I hope Izumi stays healthy and broadcasts for a long time. So please do some stretching regularly during broadcasts! By the way, Mei-chan, can your elbows touch each other? They say if your elbows can touch, then your waist is flexible and healthy!
“Th-thank you for the red hyper chat, Spirit of Stretching… I’ll try to stay healthy and broadcast for a long time… and um, I wonder if my elbows can touch each other?”
I hardly ever exercise, so I don’t think I can…
But if I can, that means I’m flexible and healthy, so I’ll give it a shot.
“Ugh…!”
I try pulling my shoulders in as much as I can.
But it seems like my elbows have no intention of touching each other.
– Uh-oh, YABE!
– Don’t do it!!!
“Ughhh! Uugh…!”
Wait, is this even possible?
“Ughhh…!”
It doesn’t seem like a matter of flexibility; this feels physically impossible…
“Ughhh…! This isn’t working…?”
Could it be that my body is really that bad?
– LOL
– You got played, Mei-chan.
“Huh? W-What do you mean?”
– If it’s a table, they’ll touch, but if it’s boing boing (ぼいんぼいん), they won’t!
– You can’t do it, Mei-chan.
– Good to know ฅ•ω•ฅ
“Ah…”
…I didn’t want to know another piece of information.
“W-wait, that’s sexual harassment….”
– I don’t think the person who said Ayasen had big and sexy breasts in the group collab should be talking.
– Now that you mention it, that did happen.
“I-I’m a beautiful JK, so I’m innocent!”
– Even if you’re a beautiful JK, sexual harassment is a crime.
…These guys, they just don’t get it.
Being a beautiful JK is humanity’s treasure, so no matter what they do, it’s absolutely not a crime.
“…Well then, let’s meet again next time!”
– Oh, she ran away.
– Bye-bye, Izumi!

“Ugh. I’m exhausted…”
“Great job, Mina.”
After finishing the broadcast and coming into the living room, Mom waved at me while watching TV inside the kotatsu.
I also nodded and naturally went into the kotatsu, resting my chin on the tabletop.
The warmth of the kotatsu has now become familiar.
When I first remembered, I was like, “Isn’t a Japanese winter all about the kotatsu and mikan?!” I was so excited back then, but now it’s just a memory.
“Who do you think will win this year?”
“Maybe the red team?”
On the TV, as if it’s a given, the Red and White Song Battle (紅白歌合戦) was on.
Well, I don’t particularly like the Red and White Song Battle, but Mom watches it every year.
That’s why it has become a promise to sit together in the living room’s kotatsu to celebrate New Year’s.
“Hmm…”
If Natsune were to appear in the Red and White Song Battle, I could watch it more enjoyably…
“Mina, why don’t you go to bed? You might catch a cold.”
“Ah, yes…”
My mind feels hazy.
As soon as I get out of the kotatsu, my body cools down, but because I’m already feeling such mental fatigue, the desire to sleep does not fade.
“Good night, Mina.”
With Mom’s aid, I went to my room, lay down on the bed, and covered myself with a blanket.
I felt like I would fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.
But I still had to say this…
“Mom, I hope for your support next year too…”
“Yeah, I’ll be counting on you too.”
Now, it’s really time to sleep…

Ayaka – Threw a fit to collaborate and left.
Nekoto – Just said she was sleepy and congratulated.
Yukari – Surprisingly the most normal in congratulating and left.
Suzuha – Thought she would talk the longest, but she was the shortest. But the “teetee” level was high.
Hikari – Ran away in the middle talking due to home issues.
Tsubaki, Linze, Ichika, Hina – They only spoke what they wanted and then left. All I got from Mei-chan was “Uh, um, yeah, thank you,” and that’s it.
Natsune – There is Natsune.
But isn’t it a reality that she hasn’t participated in a single gathering while all the members came?
Is that really the Izumi I knew, the antisocial?

Izumi Kainoh <<< This girl. Claims to be a super social atmosphere maker JK during broadcasts, But she’s actually a pure, shy, petite super beauty, With big breasts that can’t touch elbows, A mesmerizing woman that captivates everyone around her, But actually a gloomy true nerd and a VTuber? Damn, is this a comic or reality? This setting makes no sense at all. There’s no way this could be real, lol. [Recommended: 75 / Disapproved: 2] ㅇㅇ: Seeing it like this, yeah, it really doesn’t make sense, lol. Anko: And the Izutomo were the only ones who knew about it? └Anko: Come to think of it, that’s really annoying. └ㅇㅇ: For real, Izutomo, return our burgers in apology. Oya-bun: Oh... ... ㅇㅇ: Why aren’t there girls like this around me? ㅇㅇ: Is this real? └Don’t lie: What you want to believe is the truth. ㅇㅇ: Speak properly, lol. └ㅇㅇ: If you set this up in a comic, you’d get roasted, lol. └Rabbit Goddess: That’s right, lol.
