I, Who Was Ridiculed as a “Video Game Otaku and Creepy” and Dumped by My Childhood Friend, Was Actua

A Happy Mistake

The day after Rio and I did the live broadcast, I was surprised at the response.

“Seriously, we are No. 1 in Japan’s trending topics?”

I looked at social networking sites and found that the first three Japanese trending places were dominated by me and Rio.

“The clippings are going around quite a bit too. ……”

Asuna, who always clips my videos, promptly posted a video of the clipping.

The number of views had exceeded 1.6 million.

“I’m sure it will grow even more from here.”

Not even a day has passed since the video was posted.

I knew I had some influence, but I had a tremendous effect by getting involved with Rio.

However, this is a happy miscalculation.

The number of subscribers to my channel has also increased tremendously.

My channel subscriber count was almost 800,000.

The number of subscribers to Rio’s channel also increased rapidly to 430,000.

The clipped video was effective, but the fact that it was picked up by a lot of media was also a big factor.

When I tapped the screen to watch the next clipping video, my phone vibrated.

The screen of my phone displays the name Yukino Shirase.

“Yes, this is Takamori.”

“Good evening. This is Shirase. May I have a moment now?”

“Yes, it’s fine.”

I sat back down in my gaming chair.

“Yesterday’s broadcast had a great response. Our office is growing in a way that is rarely seen in recent years.”

“Yes, it is, isn’t it? I don’t really feel it myself, but I am surprised.”

To be honest, when you go this far, you start to lose a sense of reality.

“I’ve been inundated with requests for interviews and invitations to game events. I know you have your schoolwork to attend to, so I won’t force you to do so.”

I have always kept events and interviews to a minimum. I have never been in the game to show off, so that has been my policy.

“I was going to say this when we met in person, but since this is just the right opportunity, I’ll say it now.”

“Oh, what is it?”

“I have decided to aim for the world championship again with Rio.”

“I see! You finally made up your mind!”

Even over the phone, I could feel Shirase-san’s excitement.

I had no intention of competing in the world championships anymore.

However, the encounter with Rio gave me the push to go to the World Championships.

“Yes, Shirase-san might get even busier, but I’ll take on as many events and interviews as I can.”

“That’s what I call a happy shout. Leave it to me! Most of the requests are for sets with Rio-san, so I’ll discuss with her office to set up a schedule.”

“I understand.”

After all, it seems that there are many requests for appearances as a set with Rio.

Well, it is natural for a company to want to do something that is more topical.

“You will be busy from now on, Takamori-san!”

“I’ll be prepared.”

Saying that, I ended the call with Shirase-san.
