[Title: Why does Izumi broadcast so much????]
[Posted by: 6th Generation You]
Seriously, how can she broadcast four times a day?
And it’s not short either—three hours each time???
The broadcast just doesn’t end. Please save me!
[Recommended: 1 / Disrecommended: 1]
Mei-chan love: Amazingly, that’s not even her limit…
└6th Generation You: Really? That’s insane!
└Mei-chan love: She even did six sessions of three hours a day!
└Mei-chan love: Reason—she just finds it fun to broadcast, lol.
└6th Generation You: What kind of life do Izutomo live…
ㅇㅇ: So there are indeed a ton of Value Loving Positive Unicorns, huh?
└6th Generation You: (Izumi is dizzy sound effect)
Suzuizu: Info
└Suzuizu: 1. M-chan officially asked the broadcasts to please cut down on the hours—member: Izumi, Nekoto.
└Suzuizu: 2. The manager collapsed from overwork, forcing schedule adjustments—member: Izumi.
└6th Generation You: That’s crazy, lol!
[Title: This is super funny to Izumi, lol]
[Posted by: Masterpiece]
The story about second-generation members dragging her out for not going outside unless there’s a broadcast or agenda, lol.
[Recommended: 1 / Disrecommended: 1]
uwu: Going outside is really hard (actual words).
ㅇㅇ: She just loved her corner too much…
Mei-chan love: Amazingly, despite living like that, she’s healthier than the bored ones…
└ㅇㅇ: Really?
└Mei-chan love: She goes for dance training regularly…
└Suzuizu: Initially, there was only her own claim, but she proved to be really healthy on a planned broadcast.
Elite: They say her community skill has improved a lot compared to before.
└Maker: If you look at early Izumi, she has really improved a lot.
└Opposite of Divine Spirit: A girl who can even bring up topics during collabs…
└Oya-bun
: According to Suzuha) Her community skills have certainly improved, but her desire to go outside has actually decreased.
└Elite: At that rate, she’s just naturally a hikikomori…
└Oya-bun: According to Izumi) Now that her community skills are fully developed, there’s honestly no need to go out anymore.
└Elite: laughs

“I… I think I might suddenly feel ill in ten minutes…”
“Hey, since you’re here with the manager, I think you should go tell them directly.”
“I suddenly feel better…”
Why does this happen to me?
I just want to live at home broadcasting.
Reflect on it, you black company, Star’s Flow…
“Why is Izumi-chan getting more introverted as time goes by…?”
M-chan sighed and asked me.
But I could confidently refute that statement.
“I haven’t become more introverted; I’ve just become a voluntary introvert…”
My community skills have actually increased tremendously.
When I talk to the second-generation members or Natsune and Hikari-senpai, I hardly stutter now!
“I just find ho-home to be comfortable, so I don’t go outside…”
“…Isn’t that typically what they call being an introvert?”
“So that means I’m a voluntary introvert…”
“…I’ll see if that’s really true today.”
…Huh?
“W-ere you perhaps angry…?”
“Not at all? I just meant I’d keep an eye on you…”
M-chan tilted her head at my question.
…I don’t think she’s really angry.
But why do I feel so anxious?
I couldn’t understand the reason.

[Year-End Star’s Flow! Welcome the New Year! 【#WelcomeNewStar’sFlow】]
“Everyone, I’m Kaino Izumi from Star’s Flow second generation, somehow in charge of being the mood maker…”
─Hizumi!
─Mei-chan is already lacking energy.
─This girl is always like this at official meetings.
─Mood maker laughs
“Izumi-chan! In a few hours, it’ll be New Year! Isn’t it better to welcome it enthusiastically? Hohoho! From Star’s Flow first generation! Perfectly elegant villainous young lady! Kurokami Hikari here!”
─Welcome, Young Lady!
─It’s a good combination because I’m used to it.
─Today too, she appears as the common sense role of Star’s Flow’s official planning.
“Wait a minute. Everyone, hold on. We were all supposed to introduce ourselves as MCs, so why is it like this? Huh? Where did that introduction go?! Huh???”
─Natsune is the tsukkomi today.
─Honestly, I forgot about it myself.
─This is the end of Hina’s connection.
“Natsune… that was a good tsukkomi…”
“I didn’t want to hear those kinds of praises?!”
As I gave a thumbs up, Natsune lightly patted the desk.
So cute…
“Anyway, let’s start from the beginning again! Let’s begin with Hikari!”
“I’m not in the mood for that…”
“Quickly!”
“Ugh. Ahem. Hohoho! Is everyone doing well? I’m Kurokami Hikari, in charge of ‘Hi’ from ‘Hina-mi’! Nice to meet you!”
In the end, Hikari-senpai had to greet everyone because of Natsune’s urging.
Upon seeing Hikari-senpai in that state, Natsune smiled brightly.
“Everyone, Konhoshi! I’m Nanase, in charge of ‘Na’ from ‘Hina-mi’! I’ll rely on you today!”
And naturally, her gaze turned to me.
Haa…
If it’s Natsune’s request…
I guess I have no choice.
“Konizumi… I’m Izumi, the mood maker in charge of ‘Mi’ from ‘Hina-mi’…”
“…You sound so unenergetic!”
“Um…”
That was supposed to be my power…
“Well then! We, Hina-mi, will assist with today’s year-end special broadcast!”
“Waaa…”
“Ahem. It’s rare for us Hina-mi to be MCs on an official broadcast, isn’t it?”
“…Now that you mention it, I suppose it is?”
─It’s been a while since we saw three of you in an official matter.
─We definitely gathered often as a trio, though.
“This reflects poorly on Star’s Flow…”
“…Huh?”
“Reflect on it, Star’s Flow…”
Of course, I say this, but I do love you, Star’s Flow.
You know my heart, right?
So please don’t look at me like that, M-chan.
“It feels like the three of us often do collab broadcasts.”
“Hohoho! Maybe my wickedness was too intense to be invited to the official channel?”
─That’s completely misinterpretation!
─One thing is for sure, that’s definitely not the case!
─Young Lady, compared to villainous young lady tales, you are definitely the actual good protagonist role.
─Natsune is the childhood friend of such a protagonist.
─As for Mei-chan… she’d be like a tree on the street.
“Eh? Why does it feel like my treatment is way worse?!”
Of course, I think a tree on the street would suit me!
Honestly, I’d be satisfied enough to nod my head!
“No, Izumi-chan is definitely the one most suited to the protagonist possessed by a villainous young lady.”
“…I agree. You could definitely see early Izumi as a villainous young lady protagonist.”
“That’s accurate.”
…Huh?
─For sure.
─Seeing Star’s Flow already embedded with Mei-chan’s presence gives it a compelling reason, lol.
“No, I’ve never owned Star’s Flow…?”
Please stop with the strange insinuations.
“Okay, anyway! For today’s year-end special broadcast, we prepared various things, right?”
“Yes! We’ve prepared a lot so that all of our fans can enjoy the end of this year with us until the very last moment!”
“R-right!”
Of course, I have no idea what this time either!
I’m being treated like this because everyone finds it most fun when I don’t know what’s happening!
“Before we take out the prepared items! Recently, everyone’s attention has been on something, right?”
…And then, the expected topic came up.
“That’s right. The sixth generation of Star’s Flow, Starit, just debuted.”
The very reason I desperately wanted to refuse MCing this year-end broadcast.
Exactly last month, the sixth generation of Star’s Flow, Starit, debuted.
From Natsune, the zero generation, to Aster of the fifth generation.
Now spanning seven generations of Star’s Flow.
Affiliated with Seiga High School’s brass band.
After the ordinary school girl role of the fifth generation, Aster.
The sixth generation was said to be an ability user role affiliated with Sui High School… Starit debuted.
Yep.
If it’s year-end broadcasting, it was obvious this topic would come up.
But I couldn’t say anything at all.
Of course, I watched the debut broadcast, but I wasn’t watching it live with the Izutomo.
And I’ve never even talked to any of the Starit members, not even once.
This topic being brought up was certain, that’s why I wanted to escape during today’s broadcast…
“Hikari, you were watching it with me, right? I told Izumi to watch it together, but it didn’t match up with our schedules.”
“Yes… Well, I still watched all of it…”
“Hoho… Izumi-chan, you’re such a good senior caring for your juniors.”
“U-uh, right? Hehe…”
─Don’t get cocky!
─You just did what anyone would do.
─Hikari is too lenient on Mei-chan.
─Sometimes it’s necessary to be strict too.
“Why?!”
Wasn’t the mood good moments ago?
Honestly, I thought I couldn’t get in on this conversation, but since Hikari-senpai welcomed me, I was able to join; how could you ruin the atmosphere like this?!
“Well then!”
Can my treatment really be dismissed as ‘well then,’ Natsune…?
“By the way, as a celebration of Starit’s debut in the sixth generation, we conducted a simple survey last time!”
…Right, now that you mention it, there was one, indeed.
There were several questions in my memory.
“And today, we’ll be revealing the results of that survey here, now, during this broadcast!”
“Of course, we have no idea what the results are either. Thus, it’ll be even more fun.”
“And the first survey topic is this!”
[Among the Star’s Flow members, who do you want to become closer to?]
─Oh
─Honestly, it’s a bit difficult.
─Surely many of the newly debuted Starit members will rank high.
Hmm. I remember there was such a question.
I wrote Suzuha’s name down.
If I casually put someone else’s name down and that answer got revealed, it could lead to questions like ‘Does that mean you don’t want to be friends with this person?’
By putting down Suzuha, who I’m already close with, it’s framed as just a feeling of wanting to get even friendlier. That should prevent any misinterpretation.
“I thought it was a rather troublesome question right away.”
“So did I~.”
“I thought so too…”
“I felt like I wanted to get close to all of them, but I had to pick just one?”
“Those reasons sound similar to mine.”
“…Eh?”
─I’m pretty sure one of those three has a completely different reason.
─And I can guess who that person is too, which is funny, lol.
─Mei-chan…
Did both of you really have those reasons?
That feels completely different from mine…
I guess the thoughts of the in-crowd are just beyond my understanding.
…Well, I’m a voluntary introvert anyway!
“Of course, it’s only natural for Izumi to feel that way.”
“I feel like I’m being treated too badly…”
“Isn’t that proof we’ve grown closer?”
“…I think that’s a good thing!”
─Is that okay?!
─Mei-chan seems like the type to definitely fall for a weird scam.
“While it’s nice to see you both being so chummy, shouldn’t we get back to the main topic?”
─Once again, the common sense tsukkomi is the Young Lady.
“Yeah, right.”
“Okay! Anyway, back to the point, who do you think will come out on top in this survey?”
“As mentioned in the chat room, I too think it will definitely be one of the newly debuted Starit members. Since we haven’t known each other for long yet. So, I’ll pick Reika from the Starit members. Her name sounds intriguing.”
“I think similarly… But the person I picked is still a secret…”
I can’t just say Suzuha’s name right now…
“Well, it looks like everyone has similar thoughts. I chose Hoshino from Starit. There’s something interesting with her overlapping name and my greetings. …So who’s going to be number one?!”
[1st Place: Kaino Izumi, 45% out of 31 votes—14 votes.]
…Huh?
“Why?!”
