61-Episode 58: Gachi Spirit







Yuck...

 The day after the overnight recreation, there is a series of substitute holidays and weekends combined.
 That was a good thing, because I was rotting in the rot.
 I laid out the futon in the living room and stumbled around watching TV, picking up snacks, stumbling around, stumbling around....

'You're surprisingly lazy,'
Take it easy, I'm really tired this time...

 His body was already tired, but his mind was still recovering. One wrong move and he was really dead this time. It's not a problem I can change my mind that easily.
 Also, for some reason, the heartburn is still there. It's getting better, but the queasy feeling is a bit hard to take.

"I had White and Nia check it out, but there was no problem. I'm sure it's just stress.

 After the battle with the black dress, I thought I had swallowed a rock or something, but White's sonic detection and Nia's psychic thread gastroscopy didn't find anything. It must have been my imagination. And this discomfort must be due to stress.

"Ew...
"U-bay.

 As I was thinking about this, Lynn had joined the ragtag alliance before I knew it. Welcome Lynn. Let me welcome you. Rumble rumble.........

"Huh.

 However, once again, there were many points to reflect on in this fight. It was a mistake to use the 'God's Small Sword (Kamui Makiri)' before I could fully assess the opponent's skill.
 Somewhere in the back of my mind, I let my guard down, thinking I could handle it.
 On reflection. While reflecting on it, let's enjoy this holiday that I have won. Potatoes are good.

"Speaking of which, where are White, Nia and Uru?
'I saw you go upstairs to your bedroom. She looked like she was enjoying herself.
'I don't know, if White and Nia are around, I don't think it's devious but I'm curious.

 I'd love to take a peek, but it's bad enough. Also, it's a pain in the ass. I don't want to move from the living room today.

I think I'll just leave them alone and go looking for videos. I heard that "V-tubers" are very popular these days, so maybe I'll still watch them.
What's that?

 Black also looked into the computer screen I was operating to see if he was curious.

'Is this a cartoon someone made?'
Not exactly. It's a computer-generated video with a civilian in control. A stuffed animal, you know?
Well, you've got some interesting things to think about.

 Surprisingly, Black is interested in V-Tubers.

"I was recently inspired by my old friend's way of life. "I was inspired by my old friend's way of life recently, and I thought I would take a proactive approach to learning the ways of the world in order to reevaluate my own way of being.

 When I asked him about it, he told me that a friend of his that he hadn't seen in a while had become a businessman, and that he'd had many changes of heart.
 He seems to know a lot about history and yokai affairs, but I'm probably more familiar with youth culture than he is. If you're interested, I'd love to teach you about it. Focus on otaku culture.

Aegre Marmelos and Kainit's Frasier, with the addition of Il Frontontu...

 I looked at Lynn and saw her staring at a unique cooking show that used only ingredients she had never heard of before, devouring her. They have no interest in our culture. I mean, what's the name of that dish? I'm just curious.

By 'I danced' you mean a video of a dance?
'Yeah, it seems like a lot of people title their videos of doing something 'I tried'. Whoa, there's a V-tubers' dance moves, anything goes.

 When I tried it out, it was of considerable quality. It's a perfect PV. It's the work of a professional.

Hm? This is.....
What's the matter, Black... hmmm?

 The link to the video has thumbnails of other popular V-tubers dancing around, and I saw a familiar figure in one of them.

'Is this ur?!'
It's got over 100,000 views.

 When I played the video, I saw that it was still Uru. He is dancing to the song while jumping up and down. His dancing is not very good, but it's worth watching because you can see his sense of style in the editing of the video and the choice of music.
 I mean, does the camera catch the urls?

The name of the contributor is ... 'Gachi no Genie', well, that's actually true, isn't it?

 Looking at the comments, it seems to be quite popular.

'CG amazing these days! Just like the real thing!'
What's the name of the song?
"Video editing skills are so bad, it's definitely a professional thing to do.

 Various impressions have been written about it.
 Only three videos have been posted, but they seem to be getting a lot of attention. Or rather, people seem to think that Urr is the latest CG.

'I wonder what this should be...'

 I'm guessing that Nia will be in charge of filming and editing, White will be in charge of song selection, and Ururu will be in charge of planning and performing.
 The internet world is a scary place, but I don't want to deny the hobby I've created, and I have a feeling that if any problems arise, Nia will be able to solve them.
 Most importantly, if Ur and the others are having fun, that's the best.

'Okay, we don't know or see anything. Let's put it that way.
Well, everyone's got their own interests.

 Black came to a similar idea, and he agreed with my answer.

'A hobby...'

 After this day, Black began to mutter meaningfully, "Hobby........ I guess he wants to have some kind of hobby.
 If he seems to be interested in anime and manga, I'll welcome him with a smile.
 If that happens, it would be fun to invite Shizuku-san to join us and the three of us could go to Animate or something. But then I'll have to introduce Kuro to Shizuku-san, won't I? Huh? I wonder if Shizuku-san, since she's probably heard about my situation from Sorge, knows about Black?
 It's kind of complicated. I'm planning to discuss a lot of things with Soji and the others about the different abilities next time, so I'll have to check those things out as well.
 While thinking about this, the first day of the peaceful holiday passed in a flash.
 Ugh, it's hard to get heartburn........
