After the police came, we were asked questions regarding the incident.

After that, we then went to the 4th floor, and looked down at everything.

I sighed.

"It was way cooler in my head when I imagined that we all were looking down at everything."

I guess it's because of the emptiness, since we're the only ones left in the mall.

"Well, what's good is that we all are here." Yagoo said.

I nodded.

I kinda cried a little, but wiped it off.

"Why're you getting emotional?"

I shook my head.

"Nothing."

I smiled even wider.

"I'm just glad we all really are here."

I just want to think that my death was really a dream. Though, now that I think about it, it's kinda like Re:Zero.

I checked the time.

It's 3:20.

"How long have we been standing here again?" Sora asked.

"Hmm...about 3 minutes, I guess?"

"Huh. That felt like 5 minutes."

I giggled.

"Well, does everybody wanna go back to the HQ now?" I asked Yagoo.

"I don't know, let's ask everybody." Yagoo said.

I nodded.

"Everybody! Ready to go back to the HQ?"

"Yup!"

Me and Yagoo nodded at each other, and we went to the bus.

Afterwards, we went to the HQ, and in the meeting room.

We sighed relief as we sat down.

"That was a crazy day!" Korone stretched.

"No kidding." I stretched as well.

Let's have a recap, shall we? We did normal stuff for this party, then we went to the mall, and I died, discovered amazing stuff that I thought was fictional, got "resurrected", and then what seemed like a sad ending, got turned into a happy ending. How can you not say that that's one of the most crazy things that could ever happen in one's life?

"Oh yeah."

I stood up.

"Guys, I got something to say."

They looked at me.

"Around 9:00 PM, I'd like to take everybody to my 'special place.'"

"'Special place?'" The 5th Gen said.

I nodded.

"Yagoo. The bus is gonna stay here, right?"

He nodded.

"The garage is close to my home, so it's okay."

"Good."

The others then chatted among themselves.

I sat down and stretched again while closing my eyes.

"Hey."

I opened my eyes.

"Who the hell?" I thought to myself.

"It's Yamada-sensei."

"Huh, so Charles Xavier is a true thing then."

"Except this is actually just communication. Trust me, doing Charles Xavier's telepathy is way harder. This is just the normal kind of telepathy, except clearer communication and faster talking."

"Hmm, okay then."

"Come to the music studio. I've got to tell you something in that white and pink space again."

"Okay then, make it quick."

"No need. Time is stopped, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

I then stood up.

"Guys, I'm gonna go to the studio for a bit."

"What're you gonna do?" AZKi asked.

"I just got an idea for an album."

"Huh, cool! Tell it to us afterwards."

I nodded.

Well, looks like I gotta freestyle rap afterwards, or I can just freestyle lyrics, but sing it.

I then went to the music studio.

I opened the door.

"Where's Yamada-sensei?" I mumbled.

I closed the door.

"Yo." He said in a deep voice similar to a sleep paralysis demon.

I got jumpscared, and stumbled towards the door.

"Ey yo, what the hell?!"

"Gomen." He giggled.

"Quickly. Into the portal." He pointed to the wall.

He jumped onto the wall, and it wiggled a bit.

"Just like Hogwarts with jiggle effects?"

I ran and jumped through it.

I then landed on the floor.

The portal to the real world then closed.

"So...what're we gonna talk about?"

"You see, on August 13, 3:00 PM, take everybody, including Tomoko-san and Yagoo to this location."

He grabbed my head.

"W-What're you gonna do-"

I then got a surge of memories.

It showed me a location near the forest quite far away from the city, and underneath lied a huge lab similar to the place where Saitama had to fight Carnage Kabuto from season 1.

He then showed me the way as to how to arrive there, which was basically just going to the 3D studio, and running into the wall.

He then let go of my head.

"I-Is that one of your powers too?"

He nodded.

"Remember. August 13, 3:00 PM."

 I nodded.

"I also got stuff to show you."

He showed a huge screen in front of me.

"After the funeral of your death, this is the result of the girls and boys."

He first showed the boys.

Rikka got his electric guitar, and learned some rock songs.

"Woah! That's cool!"

He giggled.

It went to the others and they built monuments related to me as a remembrance.

"Nice. That's actually fucking cool."

Astel's the man.

It also showed Oga playing Salamander man's song.

"Oh. Oh!" I clapped like Filthy Frank from the 'ChinChin sacrifice' video.

It then went to the girls.

"Huh? What's that white thing stuck to the wall?"

It was a long protruding thing...

"Wait a minute! Is that-!"

I then saw Suisei taking off her clothes and banging her ass on the thingy.

"Oh yes~♥! Harder, Yamada~♥!"

I blushed a lot and my ochinchin got harder than ever.

"What the actual living fu-"

It also showed the others.

Sora was thrusting her dildo into her you-know-what. Matsuri was licking my pen while rubbing herself, and having a very good orgasm.

"WHEN'D SHE GET MY PEN?!"

It then showed the others that looked unlikely to masturbate.

Ayame was moaning like hell.

"AYAME!!!!" I sobbed.

It then showed Marine.

"Ah~♥ Yamada~♥ Fuck me and tear me apart~♥"

"NOO!!! TAKE CARE OF YOUR YOURSELF, MARINE!!!"

Yamada-sensei laughed.

It also showed my kouhais.

"Yamada-senpai~♥! Aishiteru~♥!" Aloe said while doing...I don't even wanna mention it.

"EY 7X! CUT THAT OUT! CUT THAT OUT!!!"

He then got rid of the screen.

I panted.

"My kouhais...." I sobbed.

Now I can't get the images out of my head.

I slammed my head on the floor.

I started imagining my kouhais being lewd.

"Yamada-senpai~♥" Lamy said.

"I-Is this okay? I'm younger than you..." Botan said.

"It's okay. I like young girls."

"I-If you say so...then I guess we can....do it...." Nene said.

I then start humping her.

"I-It kinda hurts...but if it's for Yamada-senpai..." Polka said.

"NO!!!BOTAN! LAMY! POLKA! NENE! ALOE!!!"

I slammed my head more onto the ground.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, FOUL DEMON!!!

"It won't happen. I put a physical barrier on your head."

"Barriers?! Is this like the UTF thingy again?"

"Kinda, but not really."

I sighed.

"What are these 'barriers?'"

"There are two barriers. Physical, and magical."

"So...basically, they are like shields that protect you against physical and magical attacks?"

He nodded.

"However, the order you put them in really affects the way you absorb attacks."

"Is it like materia from FF7?"

"Well...kinda. Lemme just explain it briefly."

He then put a huge screen to our side.

"If you put a physical barrier and then a magical barrier. You absorb 100% physical damage, but absorb 50% magical damage. If you do the opposite, you absorb 100% magical damage, and 50% physical damage."

I nodded.

"Makes sense. Though, putting both barriers cost more Life Force, right?"

He nodded.

"Because I have a huge LF pool. I can put on both, but for your condition right now...yeah, you might as well just put on a physical barrier 90% of the time. You're less likely to encounter magic-gifted people."

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, but I guess it makes sense."

I also forgot to ask him 'that' question.

"Oh yeah, I got a question, Yamada-sensei."

"Lemme guess, why did I show you those clips earlier?"

"YES! WHY?!"

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that you're very influential."

"Huh?"

"You saw how much they missed you there, right? It means that the girls really trust you, and feel very comfortable around you. So are the boys."

"That's true..."

But you really didn't need to do that. Just simply saying it to me is enough. I didn't need to see my kouhais being lewded.

I sobbed internally.

He grabbed my shoulder.

"So remember, whatever you do, you really need to think about it twice."

I nodded.

"I also got a question."

"What is it?"

"Should I...tell them about my death earlier?"

He stayed silent for a while.

"We're thinking the same thing, right?"

I nodded.

"If I tell them, they might freak out, laugh, or something."

He sighed.

"I'll think about it as well, but right now, you got a lot of stuff to do. So remember what you need to do."

I nodded.

"Protect them, bring them to the studio on August 13, 3:00 PM, and do your day-to-day life stuff."

I nodded.

"Is that all I needed to hear?"

He nodded.

"Oh yeah, before I leave, how do I visualize barriers and UTF?"

"Well, you already understand how it works, right?"

I nodded.

"Barriers are self-explanatory, and UTF's are basically just normal-time fields." I said.

He nodded.

"However, to visualize it being put on...think of a condom."

"We're using that as the example, huh?"

He giggled.

"Anyway. The condom is the barrier/UTF, and the penis is the person."

I nodded, and closed my eyes as I visualized it.

"The condom wraps around the penis, and it surrounds everything."

"Not everything. The base isn't covered."

"It's just an example."

I nodded.

"Now think the same process, but for a human."

"Hai."

I then imagined myself in this blank space.

I imagined the physical barrier being wrapped everywhere on my body.

"Only my body?"

"Nn."

After that, I then thought up what the barrier does. It protects against physical attacks.

"Got the visualization part done?"

I nodded.

"Now...apply Life Force on it."

I then applied Life Force on myself.

I opened my eyes.

"Woah! I'm glowing blue!"

It then disappeared after a while.

"A-Are? Did it not work?"

"Nope, it worked."

"Huh?"

"It just disappeared after a while. I think you also visualized it being invisible, because you ain't going around looking like a blue super saiyan guy."

"Hmm...I guess."

"Though, if you get hit, it won't flash. You'll just feel less damage."

"Really? Try punching my hand then."

I put my hand up.

He then punched my hand.

"ITAI!"

I held my hand.

"Kuso! What percent of your power was that?!"

"About 10%"

"I'LL BE THAT POWERFUL IF I TRAIN HARD ENOUGH?!"

"Yep." He giggled.

I sighed.

"Good thing I had the barrier, otherwise I would've had a broken hand."

"True."

SO IT WOULD BREAK!

"I thought it'd absorb 100% physical damage?"

"Just because it absorbs 100% physical damage, doesn't mean it'll absorb everything. Remember, you're still new to this, so if I gave you 140 attack points, you only absorbed 10 or so."

Ah...sou ka...I'm fucking weak right now...

"Does the barrier wear off?"

"The more it's abused, the more it'll wear off. Right now, it actually just broke."

"YOU'RE TOO POWERFUL!"

He laughed.

"Gomen. Here. Have some LF, and a physical barrier as an apology."

He then gave me LF and a barrier, and I felt energized again.

"I also have another question. Does Life Force naturally degrade as time goes by?"

"Well, yeah. Depending on what you do. If you got hurt so many times, your LF would be decreased accordingly. If you exerted a lot of energy,  it will be decreased accordingly too. Anything that exerts energy, Life Force goes with it. In a day though, LF would decrease by 1 most of the time."

"But does it regenerate?"

"Well...it's a bit confusing if I tell it to you like this. Life Force and energy are the same, and not the same."

I blinked twice, and got a brainfart.

I sighed.

"It's like trying to learn the difference between the 'wa' and 'ga' particle of Japanese again."

"I told you, but lemme put it in simpler terms, okay?"

I nodded.

"Life Force is like Mana. Energy is like a combination of Mana and Health."

I then thought for a bit.

"So let's say I pushed a block that weighed 70kg. If I pushed it without super strength, and my Life Force is 50, it'll get decreased like around 45, right?"

He nodded.

"But if I used super strength, my Life Force would be decreased more, right?"

He nodded.

"But you forgot to add one more thing that I forgot to explain."

"What is it?"

"It's regeneration."

He showed the large screen again.

"If energy is exerted, it just grows back, depending on what you do while resting, but Life Force is different."

He then showed two types of it.

"There are two types of regeneration: Passive and Active."

He went into detail.

"Active LF regeneration requires you to sleep to regain LF. Passive, on the other hand, does not require sleep, and you can regain it like you can with energy."

"Oohh! That's kinda cool, actually."

I then wondered something.

"Say, who has active and passive regeneration among us?"

"Well, in all honesty, Kanata has the best passive regeneration out of all of you currently. 1 LF per minute."

I got depressed.

"Ah..sou ka..."

"Don't worry, it'll get better in the future."

"How do I increase my passive regeneration?"

"Well, think of it like this. You know how you'd sleep to regain LF actively, right?"

I nodded.

"When you sleep, what happens to your body and brain?"

I then thought up a bit.

"You feel relaxed. Your cells are reenergizing, your brain gets rid of waste, and your functions regulate."

He nodded.

"So in order to gain passive regeneration, you need to feel relaxed."

"But how do I do that?"

"What do you think you'd do if you feel stressed and wanna relax, aside from sleeping?"

I then realized it.

"Music, reading, writing stories, playing tetris, and other hobbies."

He snapped his fingers.

"Correct."

I then thought up something.

"But how do we increase it without those?"

"Well, just simply experience from battle. The more you battle, the better your regeneration becomes. Though, it doesn't happen overnight. It might take you all 10 battles 'till you get like a 10% increase in your passive regeneration."

"Hmm...I see."

"So...no more questions?"

"One more."

He nodded.

"Are what happened in my dreams true?"

He stayed silent.

"It's up to you to find out. Remember, you can't hold knowledge that you're not supposed to know."

I sighed.

"Okay."

"Well then, wanna go now?"

I nodded.

"Actually, wait! There's something I gotta point out."

"What?"

"You remember your handkerchief in your 3D debut?"

I nodded.

"Wait. You were responsible for it?!"

He nodded.

"This is actually what happened. First, before you went out, I stopped you, and then I put a handkerchief in your pocket, disappeared, erased that moment from your memory, and put up a false memory in your brain."

"SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!" I jaw dropped.

No wonder it felt weird!

He giggled.

"Anyway, you should go now."

I nodded.

He opened up the portal.

"Bye, young Yamada."

"Bye, Yamada-sensei."

I then jumped through the portal and returned to the studio.

I sighed.

"I'm gonna have to get used to this life now, I guess."

"Oh yeah, one more thing. I'll be right here in your mind if you need advice and stuff."

"Ah! Arigatou!"

I then exited the studio.

I went inside the meeting room.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey!" 

I then sat back.

"So, can we hear your song?"

Oh crud.

"You forgot to make it..."

"Gomen! Can you imprint this in your memory?"

"Sure, but remember this is your first mistake regarding about forgetting to make a song. Don't do it 3 times."

"Arigatou! I'm in your debt!"

I then freestyled rap while tapping with my fingers and hand for the beat.

"Everybody's saying that it's weird for a guy to be in Hololive, not Holostars. That's fine.~"

"The weebs better try to watch my streams live, and maybe they'll change their mind, if not, then just say bye.~"

"Cause while their typing hate, I'll be just saying hi, cause what they're doing is bait. It's throwing fuel more on the fire.~"

"Nothing is magical. They fantasize for denial, but it's reality, bro (broo), so just deal with it, you vile weeaboo.~"

I then stopped.

They clapped.

"Wooh! Sasuga Yamada!" Sora said.

"Yay! As expected of the other rapper of Hololive!" Watame said.

"Get 'em, Yamada!" Coco said.

"We can't wait to hear your EP album, Yamada!" AZKi said.

"Yeah...you really need to archive that for future reference, cause I definitely am going to make at least 1 rap song in the EP."

"Kinda reminds me of Perfect by Logic for some reason."

"That now makes me wanna make a very simplistic beat, actually." 

I giggled.

"Well, it's gonna be up to you, but I'm just gonna keep this in my mind for now. If you need it, you know what to do."

"Yup."

"Well, Old-Yagoo. I guess I'll go home, so mind if I go first?"

He nodded.

"Though, you need help with your stuff."

"I'll do it!" Sora said.

"Nah. Me and Yagoo are gonna do it, Sora." I giggled.

She pouted.

"Fine."

We then went out with my guitar, beatbox, whiteboard, pencil, and camera stand.

I sighed.

"Thanks for helping me, Old man."

"No problem."

He put his hand on my shoulder.

"This 'special place' better be worth it."

I nodded.

"I never failed to disappoint you, did I?"

"Not at all."

We laughed.

"Anyway, tell the girls I said goodbye."

"Nn!"

I then drove my car towards the school supplies store.

"Lemme guess, Yamada-senpai. I can't ask about Nectar, can I?"

"Yep. Just wait for Nectar. Trust me. It's worth the wait."

"If that's the case, it just makes me more excited for it!"

"You better! I wouldn't say it's better than Ballads 1 or In Tongues. I mean...All of them are fucking lit, not gonna lie, but Nectar just gives off a different vibe, if you know what I mean."

"Ain't that all of his music?"

"How about we sing STFU while you're driving? You know, to keep it lively."

I nodded.

I sang the song acapella. 

After I arrived, I then went inside the store, and bought 8 styrofoam balls with different sizes, sytrofoam, acrylic paint of all colors with duplicates, skewers, stick glue, a light yellow colored paper and a trumpet.

I then drove back home.

After I arrived back home, I instantly sobbed.

"Home sweet home!"

I opened the door, and kissed everything.

"Oh, Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! My sweet home!" I sobbed and hugged everything, even my knives.

Never have I ever loved my house more in my life.

"How've you been? Were you a good girl? I bet you were!"

I continued kissing everything.

After a while, I stopped, and brought in everything.

I set up my camera, put my whiteboard up again, my guitar back in its place, my pencil back in its case, the beatbox in the basement, and I put the materials on a neat little space.

I then went near my Tarantula.

"Hey, Jeni. How've you been?"

I looked as to where she was located.

"Hmm, she's hiding. Okay then."

I got up, and went to the basement.

"Alright, time to find the glue gun."

I searched through the boxes.

After a while, I then found it.

"Yosh! Found it!"

I then went up, and put it near the materials.

I searched for dioramas as an example.

"Huh. It's exactly like I imagined."

Though, I do need reference.

"Although I have only drawn for 1 day. I do know you need reference."

It's just fucking stupid to be god and go by imagination when you don't know shit.

I put the stick glue in the glue gun, and heated it up.

I sighed.

"This is gonna take a while."

Hmm...what can I do to kill time?

I then decided to go on social media. Twitter, and Youtube. I also went into Discord.

"Alright. Let's see..."

I checked everything.

I then thought up a poll for fun.

I then put a poll with this:

"Okay, everybody! Let's play a game. It's called, 'Guess what type of songs I'll make in the 1st beatmaking session.'" 

"Joji; Trap; RnB; Iofi; Sad; Happy; IDGAF, just make a beat." I typed while tagging Iofi.

I laughed while making it.

"Alright. Post!"

I then posted it.

"Yosh. I guess I'll scroll on twitter for a bit."

I checked on twitter, looking at funny stuff, and some announcements.

"Huh, interesting."

I went to Youtube, and saw a clip of Aki.

"Aki is crying because she's overwhelmed?"

I clicked on it.

It then showed a vid of her 200k celebration stream singing.

"Wait a minute..."

I quickly went to reddit.

I then scrolled down.

"Huh...should've scrolled down more."

Welp, gotta go find something in the basement.

"Lemme see...necklace for Towa, bracelet for Haato, so I guess..."

I then went to my mom's old jewelry, and found her old ring.

"Yatta! Here it is!"

It's a thin gold ring with a heart on it.

"Yup. I guess I'll surprise her with this later."

I hope she'll be happy with this.

I also got a scissor for cutting paper, and a cutter and blowtorch for cutting styrofoam the old way.

I went upstairs.

Afterwards, I measured the sizes for the styrofoams.

Two 7 x 8 x 0.5 inches; One 19 x 8 x 0.5 inches; and one 19 x 9 x 0.5 inches. Although one part is excessively big, it's okay since I'm gonna cut it later so that everything is perfect.

"Okay. It's time to cut!"

I brought the styrofoam to the backyard, and put it on a table with a board on top so that the cuts are clean.

I then started cutting the foam.

I stopped and checked everything.

"Yokatta! It's clean!"

I put back the table.

I then brought the styrofoam back upstairs, and looked at the reference pics.

"Hmm...I think I need more reference."

I opened 5 more tabs, and looked at images of the solar system on 3 tabs, and looked at dioramas for 2 tabs.

"Hopefully Lamy will like this."

I sighed as I thought up of the possibility of her hating it.

"Don't worry. I'm 100% sure she'll like it."

"Really?"

"Of course. You did saw those clips right?"

I then flashbacked at those clips a few days after the funeral.

"I don't even wanna think about it."

Yamada-sensei laughed.

I got everything out of the way of my desk.

"Oh yeah. I need something to prevent paint from spilling and stuff."

I went to the basement, and got white and pink cartolina papers. I also got cardboard for the paint.

"This is just like the art projects in the Philippines."

Except without watercolor and the crappy cut out paper stuff.

I folded the pink cartolina paper, and put it on my desk, with some stuff to weigh the sides down.

I also put the other cartolina paper to the side of my room so that I can put the completed ones there.

I painted the base styrofoam (19 x 9 x 0.5 inches) with black everywhere except the bottom.

"Yosh. I'll let that dry for now."

I gently got it, and put it on the white cartolina paper.

I then got a ball and stuck a skewer stick in it.

I got the stick out, put glue inside, and stuck it in again.

"Hmm...even though it's so simple, I feel like this'll take a day or two."

It was the biggest styro ball, so I tried painting it like the sun.

I checked the images of the sun first before I painted it.

"Hmm...yellow, and orange are the core colors...should I add a bit of black?"

I then thought it'd be better if it was white.

"Nah. I guess a bit of white'll help."

I then painted everything yellow first, then added white, and then orange. I also added a mix of two colors for variety.

"Done!"

I feel kinda proud about it, but it just feels like a kid painting a ball.

"Well...we'll see what her reaction is about this."

I then stuck it on the leftover styrofoam.

I continued painting the other balls.

After my 4th ball, I then got the base styrofoam and gently touched the paint.

"It's kinda dry."

I'll continue to leave it.

I then painted all the balls.

"Huh...the balls are actually the easiest part."

Aside from Mars and Jupiter. Jeepers, the rings and the paint were tedious to do.

I put all of them on the leftover styrofoam, and checked the base styrofoam.

It's then dry to the touch.

"I did see before though that just because it's dry to the touch, it doesn't mean it's entirely dry."

I continued to leave it.

I then painted the walls everywhere except the sides.

"Hmm...I need to organize it so that I won't mix up the parts."

I then thought it up.

The base is the South, the sides are West and East, and the back is North.

I painted one wall, and put it to West, and then I moved the base to South.

"There we go."

I continued painting, but while I was painting the 2nd wall, I got interrupted by a message through discord.

"Yamada?" 

It was Yagoo.

"Hmm...I guess I'll leave this for now."

I put the styrofoam on the cartolina paper, and moved it to the side. Good thing the weights did their job.

I got the keyboard, and mouse.

I got a tissue, and typed everything with one finger.

"What is it, Old man?"

"Do you wanna go out for dinner with the girls?"

"You arranged a date?"

"Just now."

I laughed.

"Oh man, he really had to do it."

I then typed, "Do I need a tuxedo?"

"Of course not. Just wear casual clothing for restaurants."

"Okay then."

"Great, we'll meet up on 8:00 PM."

"Hai."

I then put everything to the side, and continued painting.

After painting everything, I then put it on the side.

"Hmm...how can I let this dry?"

I don't wanna leave the window a bit open.

"Hmm...I guess I can leave my door open."

I then left it wide open.

"Nobody's gonna know this anyway."

I threw the pink cartolina paper into the trash.

I checked the time. It was 4:45.

"Jeez. That felt like 2 hours when I was painting."

I shrugged it off.

I then went and got paint thinner in the basement.

I got a used rag cloth as well from my backyard, put a tiny bit of paint thinner on it, and wiped my hands.

"I mean, it's acrylic paint, but still."

I then wiped off everything.

"I'll go wash properly now."

I wet the rag cloth, squished it, and put it back with the other rag cloths.

I then washed my hands in the kitchen.

After that, I dried myself.

"Everything is good, I guess."

I got all the stryofoam, made everything except the whole box of the diorama, and I ordered everything for the 5th Gen.

"Hmm...I guess I'll go take a shower."

I took a shower, dried myself, went to my room and put boxers on.

I put an alarm on my phone to 7:50, and started recording again.

"Hmm...what could I put on for the date?"

I mean, I'm a guy, but even I need to look good as well.

I then heard a doorbell.

"Oh?"

I quickly put on shorts and a shirt.

"Coming!"

I then went downstairs and opened the door.

"Oh? It's Aoi!"

"Hey, Yamada-senpai!"

She was wearing a light green coat with a white shirt, pink pants, and black shoes.

"Yamada-oniichan!" Masato and Yua shouted.

They then hugged my legs.

"Oh! Masato! Yua!"

I patted their heads and knelt down.

"We heard the news! We thought you died!"

Well...back in that time, I did.

"Of course I wouldn't die. I'm your onii-chan!" I grinned.

Aoi sighed.

"Mattaku. We were really worried, you know? Even me." Aoi said.

I stood up.

"You, of all people?"

"I'm not heartless, baka." 

We laughed.

"Why did you come here?"

"We came to visit you!" 

"I thank you all for your generosity." I said in a British accent while speaking Japanese.

"Don't talk like that. You sound stupid."

We laughed.

"Well? Come in."

She nodded, took her shoes off, and closed the door.

"Masato, Yua, take your shoes off too."

They nodded.

They then sat in the living room.

"Oh yeah, we also came here for another purpose." Aoi said while hugging Masato and Yua.

"Hmm?"

"Can we see Sora-neechan...if it's not too much to ask?" Yua fidgeted her fingers.

"We wanna see her!" Masato said.

I giggled.

"Lemme message her, okay?"

They nodded.

I got my phone, and dm'ed her in discord.

"Hey. Masato and Yua wants to see you in my house. You free right now?"

She then replied, "Yep! Gimme a moment!"

I looked at them.

"She's free."

"Yatta!" Masato and Yua shouted.

"Now 2x. Wait patiently, Masato, Yua. Sora isn't a wizard that can teleport." Aoi said.

"We know that 2x."

We laughed.

"Yamada-senpai?" 

"Nani?"

"Let's have some fun~♥"

I groaned.

"Well, I guess that's Aoi for ya."

I chuckled.

"How about we play some Chess?"

She clapped.

"You're on! I won't lose like last time!"

"Nah. 7-0 is obviously gonna result to a loss again for you." 

"I was so close those other times! This time I'll win again!"

I giggled.

"We'll see."

"We'll cheer you on, Aoi-neechan!" Masato and Yua said.

I got the chess mat and timer in the basement, and put it on the table.

"10 minutes again, okay?"

She nodded.

We then did Rock Paper Scissors.

"Rock. Paper. Scissors!"

I was scissors, and she was rock.

"I'm black again for the 2nd time, ey?"

"Hah! I studied openings a lot!"

"Has your endgame and middlegame improved though?"

She sweat dropped.

"A-A little..."

"Then you're obviously gonna lose this one again..." I stretched.

Though, I know she's lying. She's not stupid enough to only study openings. A good start is useless if you have a bad ending.

Aoi's POV

That was a lie. I've studied openings a bit, and studied a lot for endgame and middlegame.

Yamada's POV

We then started playing.

After a while, the opening was the Ruy Lopez.

"So that's your favorite opening?"

She nodded.

I chuckled.

We then continued playing, but she made a blunder at one part.

That blunder made me win the whole game.

"Huh?! I lost again?!"

"Aw, too bad, Aoi-neechan." They both said.

I stretched.

"You made a blunder in your middlegame."

"I did? Where?"

I then moved the position to where she made a mistake.

"Here. You did this move, instead of supporting your pawn."

She moved her knight so that she could go to an outpost, instead of gaining more control in the center. Usually, outposts are better than taking control in the center, but in this situation, she was too offensive with few pieces developed. She tried to copy Mikhail Tal's playing style.

"Oh! Why didn't I do that instead?!"

I sighed.

"You may have studied more middlegames and endgames, but you're not Mikhail Tal, nor are you Garry Kasparov, nor are you Bobby Fischer. You're Ayame Aoi."

"How did you know I studied those more than openings?!"

"I mean, let's face it. Openings are useless if you don't know how to improvise afterwards."

She sighed.

"You're just too good."

I got the mat and timer, and put it back in the basement.

When I got out, I saw Sora outside.

"Ah! Sora's outside!"

"Majide?!" Masato and Yua shouted.

"Wait for a bit, okay?" I asked them.

They nodded.

I opened the door.

"Sora!"

"Yamada!"

We then hugged.

She was wearing a blue top and white skirt, with a silver bracelet on her left hand.

"I'm sorry if you had something to do."

"Oh no. I was just going through social media."

She took off her shoes, and went inside.

"SORA-NEECHAN!!!!" Masato and Yua jumped onto her.

"Woah!" Sora said.

She then giggled.

"Masato! Yua! I missed you for a long time!"

"We missed you too!"

She then let go.

"I-I'm sorry me and Yamada had to fight for a year, you two."

"It's okay. We know one of the sayings that Yamada-oniichan believed in." Masato said.

"'The more you hate, the more you love.' So that means you two will love each other more when you get together again!" Yua smiled.

Sora blushed.

"I don't know about that. We did make up, but we're not really girlfriend and boyfriend." She giggled.

"Sou na? Zannen." They frowned.

"It's okay. Maybe in the future, Yamada will propose to me." She patted their heads.

I scratched my cheek.

"We're looking forward to it then!" They said.

I saw a bus outside.

I sweat dropped.

"Uhm...Sora?"

"Hmm?"

She stood up.

"Who's bus is that?"

She looked behind.

"Oh. It's Yagoo and the others. I invited them too."

I blinked twice.

"CHOTTO MATTE!!!!"

I grabbed her shoulders.

"You're not joking?!"

"You know what Yagoo's bus looks like, right?"

I then quickly ran upstairs.

I quickly got blue pants and a maroon shirt with brown shoes.

"We're coming in!" The others said.

THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT SEE THIS!!! NOT EVEN SORA!!!!

"Yamada? Are you done?" Aoi asked.

"Wait! I'm almost done!"

I then went downstairs.

I panted.

"Jeez...you should've told me if the others came here."

That was a close call.

"Hey, Yamada!" Matsuri said.

I saw her holding Yua.

I blinked twice.

I went near her.

"You didn't do anything strange to her, right?" I whispered.

She waved her hands.

"Of course not 2x."

I sighed relief.

"I guess the same goes for Fubuki."

She was patting Masato.

"Yamada-oniichan! I don't know who these older women are, but they're very friendly to us!" Masato said.

"Nn! This brown haired oneechan is very kind!" Yua said.

"Yoshi 2x. You can call me Matsuri-neechan, okay?"

Yua nodded.

"Nn! Matsuri-neechan!"

Matsuri got hearts on her eyes.

"You're so cute, Yua!!!" She hugged her.

I death stared her that said, "Do anything weird intentionally to my little siblings, and I swear, I'll mess you up real good."

She nodded while being scared.

"What's wrong, Matsuri-neechan?"

"N-Nothing." She giggled nervously.

I sighed.

I sat down near Aoi.

"I see you're getting along with my other girl friends, Aoi."

She nodded.

"Your kouhai's very friendly, Yamada."

"Oh no. You don't what she's like towards me." I grabbed my head.

"Hmm?"

Aoi nodded.

"You see, Yamada-senpai is my boyfriend-"

"Her senpai, and her senpai only."

"What a meanie." Aoi pouted.

Ayame giggled.

"Well, I know that she wasn't serious about this." Ayame said.

"Good. Don't believe her lies."

They giggled.

"Don't worry, Yamada-senpai. I'm only different when I'm with you."

"And that's what I hate." I sighed.

Aoi wrapped her arm around me.

"Still, I never knew you had this many girlfriends, Yamada-senpai.~"

"None of them are my girlfriends."

"Maybe in the future?"

I blushed.

"...Probably."

She clapped.

"Jackpot! They all seem like very good wives, you know?"

After a while, I leaned against a wall, tracking time and stuff.

They all then got very friendly with each other.

I sighed.

"The aura is very friendly and family-like." I giggled nervously.

"At least the girls aren't doing anything weird, am I right?" Yagoo said.

"Yeah, Old ma-"

"Yagoo."

"Yagoo."

I sat back down on the couch.

Masato and Yua then got near me.

"Ne, Yamada-onii-chan."

"What is it?"

"Who are they?"

"Oh, the girls other than Sora? They're my friends that I made in work."

Sora nodded.

"Masato, Yua. These are Yamada's girl friends."

"Girl friends? Oh, like his lovers?" Yua asked.

They blushed like crazy.

I choked on my saliva.

"Yua, Masato, that's not the case." I said.

"Eh?" Yua said.

"They're not your lovers, Yamada-oniichan?" Masato asked.

"Nope. They're just girl friends, not girlfriends."

"Ah, sou ka. They seem really nice though." Masato said.

"Well, we're still getting along though. Maybe in the future." I giggled.

The girls were as red as tomato.

Oh crap, yeah...I just basically said that I might make them all my girlfriends...

I also blushed hard.

"Ne, Matsuri-neechan, what do you think of Yamada-oniichan?" Yua asked.

She scratched her head.

"Well, he's really kind to us. He's also taken good care of us. He's also very very handsome."

"You didn't have your first kiss yet with him?"

She shook her head.

"Sou ka."

"Ne, Fubuki-neechan, What do you think of Yamada-oniichan?" Masato asked.

"Well, he's very handsome and cute. He's also a very good person, and a funny one. He's also one of the weirdest people I know as well." Fubuki giggled.

"You didn't do anything to him?"

"N-No, I didn't give him a kiss yet." Fubuki giggled nervously.

"Sou ka."

I sighed.

I went to Yagoo.

"Oh god, imagine if my mom found out about that. I mean, my dad is okay, since he doesn't really mind, but my mom is VERY christian. She doesn't really endorse me having a lot of girlfriends, let alone being a playboy. I mean, isn't polygamy not allowed anymore?"

The only thing scarier than your fears like Tarantulas, bugs, enclosed spaces, ducks, or whatnot are FILIPINO MOMS. A spider's bite will scar you, but a slipper to the face will TRAUMATIZE you.

He put his arm around me.

"Don't worry. She'll understand. I mean, your definition of girlfriend has changed over the years, right?"

I nodded.

"I used to think of a girlfriend as a lover, but now, I think of a girlfriend as a woman that devotes her time to me like I do to her. There doesn't need to be love in it, as long as devotion's involved."

He chuckled.

"I mean, you had two relationships before, but it ended quickly." Yagoo giggled nervously.

"Don't remind of my past self. That was cringey as fuck." I held my forehead while blushing.

Not to mention, also kinda heartbreaking. High school was a big lesson to me.

I then walked back to the couch and sat down.

Choco's POV

I was patting Masato's head.

"Ne, Choco-neechan. Can I ask a question?"

"Nn! Ask me anything!"

"What are clouds made of?"

"Clouds? They're water vapor that rose from the ground to the sky."

"Water vapor?"

"You know the steam that comes from cooking rice or heating up water?"

"Ah! So that's what it is!"

"Once they reach the sky, they turn into liquid droplets. They then just float in the sky like dust until enough water gathers in the clouds."

"And then that's why it rains?"

I nodded.

"You weren't taught that yet?"

"Well, we were, but for some reason, I forgot it." Masato giggled.

I patted his head more.

"If you have any more questions, you can ask me."

He nodded.

Mel's POV

I sat next to Yua.

"Ne, Mel-neechan, I got a question."

"What is it?"

"Have you ever experienced loving someone?"

Oh, the typical question that girls ask.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe?"

I giggled.

"Well...have you?" I asked her back.

She blushed.

"Well, there's this one boy in our school that I had a crush on...We've talked here and there, but I don't know if I can call it love or admiration."

"Well, when you see him, doesn't your heart flutter?"

She nodded.

"When you talk with him, don't you wanna be with him all the time?"

She nodded.

"Then that's love. It just happens naturally."

I looked at Yamada.

"You may think of him as a pervert at first, a dumdum, or maybe even a bad person, but after a while, before you know it, you already fell in love with him. You're heart flutters when you see him, you feel safe, and you feel like your world is more vibrant than usual." I giggled.

"Ah! So you're Yamada-oniichan's girlfriend?"

I stuttered.

"N-Not really. *giggle* We're just friends." I waved my hands.

"Sou ka..."

Yamada's POV

After a while, Masato and Yua walked towards me.

"Ne, Yamada-oniichan. Is it normal for a boy to have multiple lovers?" Masato asked.

I coughed.

"W-Why do you ask?"

"I want you to make them all your girlfriends!" Yua said.

I choked on my throat while blushing.

The girls are blushing mad red.

"W-W-W-WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT?!"

"They're all very kind! I want them as our big sisters!" Yua and Masato said.

"THAT'S THE ONLY REASON YOU WANT THEM CLOSE TO ME?!"

"Masato! Yua! I-I mean...it's okay if Yamada has one, but more than 20 is a bit..." Sora blushed.

"Huh? It's not normal?" Masato asked.

I grabbed both of their shoulders.

"Masato, Yua, you're still too young to understand that."

"Really?"

I nodded.

"We only have known each other for a week, so give us some time, okay?"

They nodded.

"When can we see them again?" Yua asked.

"When they have free time."

"Yatta! Arigatou, Yamada-oniichan!"

They hugged me.

I sighed.

The struggles of a harem protagonist.

"What's the time, Sora?"

She checked the time.

"It's 5:36."

I looked at Yagoo.

"Old ma-Yagoo, what're we gonna do now?"

"Hmm, what do you feel like doing?"

"I don't know, make music?"

"Oh! How about composing one now for your EP?" Suisei asked.

"Hmm, I guess that'd be good. Lemme get my guitar real quick."

I went upstairs, got my acoustic guitar, a pen, and my lyric book, and went down.

"You don't need a beatbox?"

"Nope. I got a beat in my head already."

It's similar to a Lo-fi beat.

BPM: 88

I then played the chords: A B♭dim C#dim F# D#dim.

https://youtu.be/IvAsrEeyhKI - This is basically what Yamada is gonna make. Not exactly it, but just for the idea of what he's making.

https://youtu.be/IvAsrEeyhKI

"Oh! There we go!" I smiled.

"Woah! That sounds great!" Suisei said.

"Wait...now that I think about it...it kinda sounds like Dalaga by Arvey." Sora said.

"Huh?"

Wait, now that I also think about it, the chords are also similar.

"That's true."

"What were you thinking in your mind when you made that?"

"Nothing. I really just thought up those chords, and played around with it."

Seriously. I did not think it would actually sound similar. But eh, I mean, so many songs sound alike, so this is okay.

"Well, wanna compose the lyrics now?"

I nodded.

"Lemme just save the idea first."

I guess I'll make the beat in the beatmaking session stream.

I got my phone out, stopped recording, and recorded again.

"Can you all keep quiet for a moment?"

They nodded.

I then played the chords.

After I stopped recording, I cut out the other sounds, only leaving the chords. I also deleted the other recording.

"There we go." I giggled.

I looked at the others.

"You guys can talk with each other if you want."

"Nah. I think we'll watch you compose." Watame said.

"Really?"

They all nodded.

"Even us, Yamada-oniichan. Your music is always great!" Masato said.

I giggled.

"Well then. If you so desire."

I then played the chords, while thinking of what I could talk about.

Love? Hololive? My life? Just general stuff? Motivational?

After a while, I decided that my topic would be my feelings for joining Hololive.

I mumbled lyrics, just trying to find lyrics, and then I came with something.

"Oh.~"

"I always thought my life was dull.~"

"But when I came here, it's gone.~"

"I'm thankful for everyone, thankful for all.~"

"And oh.~"

"I never knew I needed love.~"

"From thousands of people that come.~"

"And now I think this is enough for me to move on from the past life.~"

I stopped.

"Woah! I should write that!"

They clapped.

"That was quick!" Sora said.

"We can't wait to hear your album-peko."

"Ganbare, Yamada!" Rushia said.

"Let's get dem stacks, Yamada!" Coco said.

I nodded.

After I wrote it, I then thought about the pre-chorus.

I sang the last line of the verse 1 to continue to the pre-chorus.

"And now I think this is enough for me to move on from the past life.~"

"Enough for me to move on from the past life.~"

"I wanna do this from day 'till nightime.~"

"I wanna be in your hearts for a whole lifetime!"

I then wrote that for the pre-chorus.

"Now the chorus!"

I then thought up a bit for the lyrics.

"I'm glad I became a part of Hololive.~"

"This is the only way for me to be so alive.~"

"I'm glad I became a part of Hololive. A part of Hololive 2x.~"

"I'm glad I became a part of Hololive.~"

"I now have a big purpose in my life.~"

"I'm glad I became a part of Hololive. A part of Hololive 2x."

I stopped.

"Hmm...I don't know about the chorus. Anybody got suggetions?"

They then thought for a bit.

"Can you write down everything, and we'll see if it needs improvement?" AZKi asked.

I nodded.

I wrote down the chorus.

After that, everybody took pics of the lyrics, and looked at it.

"Hmm..."

I sweat dropped.

"Are you guys not able to think clearly?"

"I guess you can say that." Matsuri said.

"I mean, I don't see what's wrong with this. You're trying to express your thanks for being in Hololive, right?" Aki asked.

I nodded.

"Well, I don't think I'd like to change anything."

"Yamada?" Suisei asked.

"Hmm?"

"Not trying to change it, but about the 5th to the 8th bar of Verse 1, are you able to think of other rhymes, or another way of expressing the same idea? You know, maybe you can find something better." 

"Hmm...chotto matte."

So that part goes like, "And oh. I never knew I needed love. From thousands of people that come. And now I think this is enough for me to move on from the past life."

"Hmm. How about this?"

I then started singing again.

"And oh.~"

"I never knew I'd come this far.~"

"You all are now a part of my heart.~"

"And now I wish for all your arms to help me up from the past life.~"

Suisei then thought for a bit.

"I don't know. I'm okay with both actually."

"Well, this isn't really final yet. I'm just freestyling the lyrics from my head."

I then wrote the second version of bar 5-8 in Verse 1.

"It's not final?" They asked.

"Yup. I might change the lyrics if I thought up of something better, but for now, I'd like to close it, and stop it for a while."

I closed the book.

"Hmm, you're gonna take a break for a while?" Aloe asked.

I nodded.

"Well, wanna jam out for a bit everybody?" 

They nodded.

"Okay! So...anybody got songs in their head?"

"Can I try singing Fly me to the Moon?" Korone asked.

"Oh? You know the lyrics?"

"Well...a little bit." She giggled.

"Well, we're just gonna be vibing. Here, use my phone for the lyrics."

I searched lyrics, and gave her my phone.

"Ready?"

She sat down near me.

"Ready!"

I started playing, and she started singing.

We then stopped singing.  

She did hum the other parts, since she doesn't know everything.

We laughed in the end.

"Well, that was fun."

"How about you sing again, Yamada?" Korone asked.

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Do you know any other songs?"

"Hmm, mind if I sing rock?"

They nodded.

"I'm gonna sing False Pretense."

I then sang False Pretense.

I then stopped.

"Yay!" I clapped to myself.

"Ne, how about doing a fingerstyle song with the guitar-nanora?"

"Hmm..."

Renai circulation might be a good.

"Okay. I'm gonna do Renai Circulation."

I put the capo on the 4th fret.

They nodded.

I played Renai circulation.

While I was playing Renai Circulation, they couldn't help but sing along.

We then stopped.

"Yay!" We clapped and laughed.

"Wooh! That was fun!"

Yagoo stood up.

"Girls, I think we should leave and give Yamada some privacy now."

"Aw, really?" They said.

"Well, I'm gonna have to agree with Old man Yagoo. You might be busy, Yamada-senpai." Aoi said.

"Well, not really."

"But still, you didn't exercise yet, did you?"

I shook my head.

"I'll just dance and stuff."

I guess I'll have a rest day for today.

"Well, I guess we also got our stuff to do." Yagoo said.

"Hmm, sou ka."

I stood up.

"I'm gonna return everything now, I guess."

"Yamada-oniichan, we'll see each other another time, okay?" Masato asked.

I nodded.

"Take care while I'm away."

"Nn!" They nodded.

"You too, girls."

They nodded.

"That was fun! I'd like to see them another time as well." Matsuri said.

"Your siblings are quite fun to talk to." Botan giggled.

"We'll be going now, Yamada." Ayame said.

I nodded.

"You know where to find us, right?"

"Of course."

I went to the stairs.

"Bye everybody!"

I went upstairs.

"Bye, Yamada!"

"Bye, Yamada-senpai!"

"Bye, Yamada-oniichan!"

They then left, while I returned my guitar, lyric book, and pen.

"I guess I'll write the rest of the lyrics in the beatmaking session stream."

Since I can't really dance in the room, I'm gonna have to dance in the home gym.

I took off my clothes, and hanged it on my door for now, leaving my boxers on only. I also put a tight brief on.

"Lemme go paint the styro real quick."

I got the paint, and painted the styrofoam again.

After I painted all of them, I left it to dry again.

"Yosh, that's good now."

I danced to music that I know the moves to, while also shuffle dancing for 10 mins to Pekora's BGM.

I then took a shower again.

I went back to the room, put on deodorant, and wore the clothes from earlier.

I then killed time by playing some tetris, watching Youtube, Twitter, and whatnot.

I heard my phone ring after some time.

"Oh! it's 7:50."

I stopped the alarm, and recorded again.

I put on a bit of cologne from my parents' room. I also checked myself out in the mirror.

"Huh. Simplicity is beautiful."

I guess this is an okay outfit.

I got my keys to my motorcycle, my wallet filled with 70k yen, a knife in my shoe, the ring for Aki, my phone recording audio, a handkerchief, and I'm good to go!

I left my room's door slightly open so that air can get in.

I made sure the backdoor was locked, closed all the curtains, and then left the house.

I locked the door, and went to the garage.

I got my motorcycle out, closed the garage, and went to the HQ.

After I got there, I saw Yagoo standing near the HQ.

"Ah, there you are. You're a few minutes early." Yagoo said.

"Yup. So how about we go to the restaurant now?"

He nodded.

"What restaurant is it actually?"

"Remember that restaurant we went to before with your parents back in summer vacation from 7th grade junior high school?"

"Oh! You mean the restaurant with my favorite chicken dish, garlic chicken?"

He nodded.

I started drooling.

"Let's go then."

He giggled.

"I know you're hungry. Think of it as a celebration for beating those guys."

I nodded quickly.

We went in.

I sat near Aqua and Nene.

"Oh, hi girls."

"Hi, Yamada-senpai-aru."

"Hi, Yamada.

The bus then started moving.

We then arrived at the restaurant.

I sat down at the table with Yagoo, while the others sat down with each other.

"What would you like, Old man?"

"I'm gonna order the beef steak with ramen, you?"

"Garlic chicken with iced tea."

We took our orders, and ate.

Afterwards, we went out of the restaurant.

"Man! That was a nice restaurant. So gonna add that to one of my favorite restaurants list." Noel said.

"By the way, Yamada-senpai. What's this special place you mentioned earlier in the afternoon?" Botan asked.

I chuckled.

"You'll see."

I looked at Yagoo.

"Old ma-Yagoo. Mind if I take the wheel?"

He nodded.

"Do you still remember how to drive?"

"I even drove a truck before. It'll just come back to me as I do stuff."

He giggled.

"Welp, don't get us killed."

"Of course not."

I don't really want to die twice in the same day. It's not really a beautiful experience. That time that Yamada-sensei stabbed me doesn't count.

I then drove the bus.

"Okay, check the side mirrors."

No traffic surprisingly. 

I put the gear to reverse, and moved backwards.

I then put it to gear 1, and started driving.

We then arrived at a spot near the wilderness.

I put the handbrake down so that the bus won't move anymore, and turned off the the engine.

"Is this...your special place?" Haato asked.

"Nope, but we're almost there."

We all got out of the bus, and I gave the keys back to Yagoo.

"So, watch your steps, and turn on your flashlights, cause it is kinda dark without the moonlight shining in our path."

They turned on their phone's flashlights.

I also turned mine on.

I looked everywhere, making sure I was going the right direction.

"So, lemme tell you guys a story, back when I was in 2nd year junior high school."

"Hmm? You didn't tell me about this, did you?" Sora said.

"Nope. It's something new."

"So, back in 2nd year Junior High school, we took a 2 week break from school because there was going to be a mass renovation in the school during that week. During that 2 week break, me, my siblings and my parents decided to go out camping."

"What happened next?" Shion asked.

"We wanted to do some family bonding at that time, and also because we wanted to do more stuff in Japan. And this special place..."

We then arrived.

"..was the place where we camped."

I stopped near the edge of a cliff that goes down like a hill.

"Woah!"

They stood beside and behind me.

It was the view of the moon, right there in front of our face.

"It's so beautiful!" They shouted.

I giggled.

It really is a beauty.

"At daytime, me and my dad would mess around, run around, doing stupid stuff with boxers on only, and my mom would scold us both."

They laughed.

"However, at nighttime, we'd sit down and admire the beauty of the moon."

"Yeah." Sora looked up.

She also held my hand.

"It's a beauty alright."

I giggled.

"Minna."

"Hmm?"

"...Tsuki ga kirei ne? (The moon is beautiful, isn't it?)"

I heard an awkward silence from them.

"Hmm? What's wrong-"

They were blushing.

"What's the matter?"

Yagoo shook his head in disappointment.

"Yamada, you remember that anime 'Tsuki ga Kirei?'"

"Yeah, what about it-"

I blushed.

I remember that it also means 'I love you' in a way.

"C-C-C-Chotto matte! I-I-I-I didn't mean it like tha-"

"I mean...I know you're kinda pervish, and all, but I never knew you'd also be this romantic..." Sora said.

"Chigao! I meant that the moon is literally beautiful. I didn't say 'I love you'-"

Oh no.

They blushed mad crazy.

"Y-Y-You all get the point." I said.

I closed my eyes, crossed my arms, and faced the moon.

Sora giggled.

They all laughed afterwards.

"Okay. We get the point."

I sighed, and smiled.

"Aki."

"Hmm?"

I went to her.

"Can you give me your right hand?"

"W-What're you gonna do with it?" Aki blushed.

"Just do it."

She nodded, and raised her right hand.

I gently held her hand, got the ring out and put it on her ring finger.

"C-Chotto! I-Is this..."

"Nn. A ring."

Everybody was blushing like crazy, except for Yagoo, of course.

"Y-Yamada?! You do know what that means, right?!" Marine said.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-You don't do that unless you're ready to commit to the next stage of life!" Korone said.

"H-H-H-How far have you guys gone?!" Sora said.

"Huh?"

Aki bit her finger.

"I-I mean, this may be nice, Yamada, and you'd also make a good boyfriend, but...I'd still have to tell my parents, and then retire from Hololive, and then we'd have to save money, and then..."

"What're you talking about? It's my gift for you as celebration for reaching 200k subs."

They all blinked twice.

"Eh?"

"Wait, what?" I asked.

I then realized and blushed.

"Could it be...that you mistook it as an engagement ring-"

Sora grabbed my shoulder.

"Yamada..." She gave off a dark aura.

"S-S-Sora?!"

"Oh...you weren't gonna propose to Aki-chan, huh? Yokatta." Okayu cracked her neck.

"W-W-Why're you cracking your knuckles?! Wasn't it good that I didn't propose to her?!"

Yabai. Are they mad because of the misunderstanding? Or the ring?

"So you had to be that bold enough to casually give a girl a ring, huh?" Matsuri cracked her knuckles.

"What's more, you gave it to her directly, while you gave ours indirectly." Towa said.

Oh man, get your popcorns ready, because TMT just turned into TMD!

"Huh, didn't know boys could just casually do that to a girl. That's next level Japanese culture." Choco stretched her arms.

"How lucky Akiroze-senpai is to receive such a nice gift, am I right? Yamada is so generous!" Rushia said.

"Haato and Towa also received gifts, just so you know!"

"Hmm...what could be a good reward for Yamada? Since he did a nice gesture to a girl?" Kanata said as she punched her hands together.

"Something doesn't sound right if you say it like that, Kanata!"

Yagoo and the 5th gen bowed, while Aki giggled nervously.

"Have a nice life in the afterlife."

"ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M GONNA DIE?!"

I DON'T WANNA DIE AGAIN!

Yagoo's POV

After a while, they beat up Yamada.

"Ooh! Argh! Oof! Yep, that DEfinitely hurts. Oops! Ow! Ah! Oof!...Oh jeepers! Calm down, Kanata!" I said.

He looked like a mess.

"How did I...get beaten by....girls...?"

Yamada's POV

I even got the physical barrier on my body...

Yagoo's POV

I laughed, while Aki giggled.

Aki helped him up.

"Need a hand, Yamada?"

He grabbed her hand, and stood up.

"Ooh! Jeez. Not only does Kanata have gorilla strength, she even has good punching strength." He cracked his neck, knuckles, back, hips, and everything that needs cracking and stretching.

"What did you say?" Kanata asked.

"We're with you if you need help, Kanata." Noel grabbed her shoulder.

"Give me a break! I've already gone through so much abuse!" Yamada sobbed.

"Just leave it be." I said.

Yamada's POV

I sighed.

"Makes sense. I just wanted to relax in this place with everybody else."

I sat down near the edge.

Sora also sat down beside me.

"Yeah. We also wanna relax and enjoy the moon's beauty." 

"You're not gonna beat me up again?"

"If you do something weird again, yes."

I giggled.

"Kowai."

She giggled as well.

The others sat down as well.

I grabbed Sora near me, and she rested her head on my shoulder.

Watame's POV

I smugged.

I sat near Yamada, and scooched closer to him.

"Yamada! Wrap your arms around my waist too!"

"Hey, no fair-peko! Weren't we supposed to play fair and square?!"

I smugged.

"First come, first serve."

"This is not a bakery!" Korone pouted.

Yamada's POV

I sweat dropped and giggled.

"Welp, it can't be helped, I guess."

I wrapped my arms around Watame's waist. Damn, it's actually kinda slender.

She rested her head on my shoulder.

The other girls sighed in defeat, and just went closer to me as we watched the moon.

"I'm happy with how things are right now." I said.

And that's not a lie.

"Yeah. I'm happy we all can be here together as a family, as friends, and as a company." Sora said.

"Nn. Agreed." Watame said.

"Well, Yamada. You never cease to amaze me." Yagoo said.

"Glad to meet your expectations, Old man."

"Yagoo."

"Too late."

We continued gazing at the moon.
