I woke up and stretched to my alarm. The ringtone was a beatbox version of Final Fantasy VII's battle theme.

"Oh man! That was a good, but weird ass dream." I laughed.

Yamada's dream~

"Hey, Yamada! Your shot!" Roberu said.

"Ey! That's not my shot! That's Kira's! You liar!" 

We laughed.

"Fine then! I'm can still go for more bottles, fuckers!"

I took a shot and my boys screamed.

"SASUGA LEADER!" They all screamed.

We were on the 2nd bottle, and all the boys were drunk except me. I seriously was getting tipsy.

We kept drinking, and we sang some stupid shit.

They also told me to dance in front of them while playing Pekora's BGM.

There was another dream.

I was with the girls just relaxing in the beach while some tropical music played. The Holostars, Chinese, and Indonesian branch were also there.

We were just having fun, recording stupid stuff, took pictures, danced, played some volleyball, told some stories, and had a good time.

End~

I then went down to the kitchen, drank a bit of water, and cooked breakfast. 2 fried eggs, 1 piece of hotdog, an apple, and coffee.

As I was cooking the 2nd fried, I remembered that I didn't cut my nails yet, so I went up to my room, got the nailcutter, went back down, and cut my nails as I was cooking.

I then laid the nailcutter down on the table in the living room, and continued cooking.

I then prepared everything and put my hands together.

"Itadakimasu!"

I then ate a bit of my fried egg.

"Now that I think about it..."

I didn't eat dinner last night...

I facepalmed.

"Yamada, you fucking idiot."

I looked at my biceps.

I sighed.

"At least the mass is still good."

The power of my kouhais, man...it made me forget to eat dinner.

"It also made me forget to cut my nails." I giggled.

Polka also made me forget that I was shivering cause of hunger.

"Hmm..."

I was somehow not feeling hunger at night.

"Huh. Interesting."

I shrugged it off. Yamada-sensei probably fed me while I was sleeping or something, though, isn't that kinda bad?

I then continued eating my breakfast, washed the dishes, brushed my teeth, and then went upstairs to check on social media.

I then saw something that shattered my heart.

"...Aloe?"

I watched the video.

She explained that her L2D test video was not deleted, so she'll be on hiatus for 2 weeks, basically. It's more complex if you listen to the details.

"You fucking simps...you fucking no-lifes...you fucking scum...you fucking...."

I threw my phone on my desk in anger, and held my head in frustration.

"Oh no...Oh no, this can't be happening."

My kouhai...all the memories...all the time she could've spent with the others...gone for now.

I put back on the clothes that I got rid of last night cause I always sleep in my boxers, got my keys, my phone, and a knife. I then got out of my house, went to the garage, got my motor, and drove to HQ.

I then went up to Yagoo's office, and saw him on the laptop.

"Old man! I got a big question!"

"I know. It's Aloe."

He turned the laptop around.

"Here's what I dug up so far." He said.

"I'm memorizing every single fucking name, down to the last fucking character." I said angrily.

I scrolled and looked at their names.

"Why was her L2D not deleted?!"

He looked away.

"It's mine, Aloe and Aloe's manager's fault."

I clenched my fists.

"They have a part in it, but I take most of the blame." Yagoo said.

"Old man, you're a CEO. You manage the talents, events, and all that shit. Not their videos, nor what they do-"

"But it's my fault for not checking it! You know that I need to see if the talents are doing well or not. That's why I tune in to streams."

I kept my mouth shut.

"As a CEO, this is a disgrace."

He chuckled.

"But we both know what to do in this situation."

I smirked.

"Yeah."

We looked at each other.

"Defend Aloe at all cost, and fight back."

"It's not like these guys have any status. They're just a bunch of no-lifes paid to trash people." I said.

NF, they really do get paid for trashing people, while Aloe get's paid cause she stays working.

"Aloe's hard work won't be in vain!" I said.

I turned his laptop around.

"I memorized every single name."

"That's good." Yagoo said as he continued his business.

"I'm not just gonna stay idle and let you guys do all the other work. I'll also dig deeper and find out more."

"I'll also do the same, and I'm gonna punish those fucks for getting rid of my kouhai."

If you mess with Hololive, you mess with me.

"I'll contact you if I find something interesting." Yagoo said.

I nodded.

"I'm goin' home, take a shower, and immediately get to work. I'll do a let's talk stream at night."

I then left his office, went down the building, and rode back home.

Yagoo's POV

"Aloe...I'll bring you back along with the others' help."

I'm not the only one taking part in this. The other livers are also trying to slowly but surely block and report all this fuckers, especially Yamada. Everybody is currently doing it.

"I have no choice but to do this..."

I'm ashamed as a CEO, but...

"I need the audience's help too."

At least my degradation means nothing, if it meant that Aloe will actually get help. Fuck my dream, what matters is that this chaos will go away.

Yamada's POV

I got back home, put my clothes in the laundry, took a shower, and put on boxers.

"I'll get back at these fuckers."

I then spent my time from morning to afternoon checking for the scumbags that harassed Aloe. 

What I did basically is, report the accounts, and put in that annoying virus that makes everything into a shortcut into their system, and made it a trojan horse.

Aloe's POV

I grabbed my pillow as I sat in bed.

"This is terrible..."

I got phone calls with death threats, people harassing my ex, and loads of shit I don't like. Even my parents are involved in this...

"I just wanted to be in Hololive peacefully..."

I can't just be lying here, and I should report them.

"But there's way too many..."

I then got a notification on my phone.

"H-Huh?"

I got it. It was a friend request from Yamada in Discord.

"Yamada-senpai..."

I accepted it, and after a while, I saw a message.

"You're not alone, Aloe. I'm currently searching everywhere in the internet for those that are harassing you. I also know that they're harassing other people you're close to, and I'm working on that. I'm doing everything to stop this madness, along with the other livers."

Botan's POV

"I'm not letting these fuckers take away Aloe!"

I'll hunt them down!

Yagoo's POV

"What the fuck is this? There's strangely so many users..."

I never knew the doxxers were this many.

Aloe's POV

I started crying.

"Everybody..."

I clenched my fists and got out of my bed.

"I can't just give up right now!"

I went to my PC.

"I need to do my part too!"

Yamada's POV

I tried to interact with my fans here and there just so that they can get some peace of mind, and I tried to calm down the fans as much as possible. I also got a text from Yagoo that he'll be making an official letter to the audience to ask for help. I tried reasoning with him that he won't do it, but instead, us, the talents, will ask for help, but he insisted harder than my erection when I watch porn videos, and so I let him.

I also got the figures for Nene, and the plushies that I asked from Akio from a mailman. I wore a shirt and pants prior to that.

"Took quite long..."

He said it would arrive before Polka's debut.

I then saw a letter.

"Sorry. I wasn't able to get in contact with the producers easily, since there was 'trafficking' or whatever that meant, and some connection issues. But I sent some extra money as an apology for delivering this late. I transferred it to your account."

"Trafficking...?"

I shrugged it off. At least it's here.

I put these upstairs, and continued my business.

When it hit lunchtime, I ordered lunch in Uber Eats, but while I was ordering, Aloe hit me with a notification.

"Yamada-senpai. I'll cook you lunch."

"H-Huh?"

I texted her back with "Don't bother. I'll order in Uber Eats."

"No! You've been working a lot. I know the others are also working, but I know that you're overprotective about these things. I also know that you're a hacker, so you're probably the one with the most work."

I glared at my phone.

"Old man probably told her." I said.

"...Fine. But just this once."

"Thanks."

I then cancelled it, exited all apps, and actually thought up something as I thought back to "Trafficking".

"Hmm..."

Now that I think about it, I never actually dug deep into the Organization of Weebs.

"He said it was from the deep web..."

Ah yes. An even darker place than the dark web.

"I hate looking at that shit."

But I think I need to see it.

I then went into the deep web. I made sure that my IP address is secure af, and I switched my IP address with fake ones every 5 seconds.

I didn't see anything.

"Dark web, ey?"

He lied, didn't he?

I went into the dark web, and searched for the site.

After I saw the Organization of Weebs site, I widened my eyes.

It actually transferred from the deep web to the dark web a couple days ago. No wonder there were more people involved in this.

I remember back in the news when I was around high school...a voice actress was kidnapped.

"Lolis...shotas...voice actresses...voice actors...everything that has weeb potential..."

Holy shit. They're the lowest scum ever.

I clenched my fists.

What surprised me the most was Hololive.

"2 billion yen..."

It's individual, so if you impregnate, and get one of them to Mr. Weeaboo, you get 2 billion yen. so if you get all of them, you get 68 billion yen.

"Why...?!"

I slammed my desk in anger, but I held back in fear of breaking it.

I closed the site, made sure to erase evidence that I was there, and exited everything.

First, Aloe, then the late arrival for my gifts for my kouhais, then this shit? How fucked up can 2020 be?

"Damn..."

As a leader, a member of Hololive, and the one who takes care of the girls, I need to protect them all.

"Not only that. It includes the Indonesian and Chinese branch."

I'm surprised they didn't get harmed yet.

 I then heard a knock downstairs. It's definitely Aloe.

"Coming!"

I went downstairs, opened the door, and I saw Aloe on the doorstep. I was shaking. Not because I'm nervous, but because I'm afraid of losing her.

"H-Hi...Yamada-senpai."

"Come in." I said.

She nodded.

She then came in my house.

"I bought the groceries in advance. We're gonna have curry rice and vegetable salad for lunch-"

After she put the groceries down in the kitchen and turned around, I hugged her tight.

"Y-Yamada-senpai?!" She blushed.

"Aloe, I'm scared."

"H-Huh?"

I started crying and hugged her head with one hand.

"I'm scared of losing you."

She also kinda starts crying.

"Baka. You won't lose me. I just won't be in Hololive anymore."

"No! I refuse to see you away in Hololive! Don't even mention graduation!"

I put her away and held her shoulders.

"Aloe...I was really looking forward to that collab we'd do. Remember when you said you wanted to do a singing stream with me, and you wanted to sing 'Roki Roki'?"

She hesitantly nodded.

"But...if this is not solved...there's no helping it, is there?" She said.

I grabbed her shoulders harder.

"Yamada-senpai, you're hurting me."

I let go of Aloe.

"Aloe. I treat all of you as special. One member of Hololive lost is equal to a knife to my heart. I was looking forward to collabing, talking, and doing everything with everybody, including the 5th gen!"

She smiled.

"It's okay. There's still 4 left."

"But Holofive won't have 5 members anymore! That's just fucked up!"

We kept silent for a bit.

"...Aloe."

She looked at me.

"Please fight for me. Fight for everybody else. Fight for yourself" I said.

"I know I'm not alone, but..."

She looked away.

"What will happen if our work is in vain?" She asked.

I clenched my fists.

"It won't! I just know it won't! I'll do whatever I can to stop this even if it costed my life!"

She smiled sadly.

"You know you can't risk your life for me-"

"Well, I'm different, Aloe! I died for Korone and all of you, and I'm willing to do it again!"

She frowned.

"Yamada-senpai..."

She then smiled, kissed me on the lips, and I kissed back after realizing what she did.

After 5 seconds, we let go.

"You dummy." She said.

I frowned.

"I just...really love you all. I don't want anything bad happening. Hololive is like a family." I said.

"An all-girl family that I happened to be in." I giggled nervously.

I wanted peace and quiet, and do whatever I liked that could make me happy, and I just found out what could make me truly happy, in the cost of this bullshit.

"I also love everybody here in Hololive. The friends I made, and my journey to being here. After that message you sent, it encouraged me to fight for myself, but I really worry if our work might be in vain." Aloe said.

"I'll rewind time as many times as it'll take as long as this can be resolved."

She giggled.

"I'll hold you up to that."

I nodded.

"I'll help cooking. I do feel quite hungry."

My belly then made a sound.

"You really are hungry, you dummy."

She then bit her lips.

"I guess this makes us boyfriend and girlfriend, since we kissed now. That was my first kiss, by the way."

"That was my second kiss...and it was with my kouhai..."

That's kinda weird, but kinda nice at the same time.

She took care of the curry rice, while I took care of the vegetable salad.

"Hey, Aloe."

"Hmm?"

"I want to hug you after eating lunch."

"Sure. Anything for my senpai."

I giggled.

"Arigatou."

I just want something to comfort myself as this disaster is happening, and one of them is hugging.

After lunch was prepared, we put our hands together.

"Itadakimasu!"

We then ate.

"I've gotten a lot of moments where I eat with girls at my house." I thought.

Doesn't matter though. I wonder what Sora and the others will think though?

After eating lunch, I brushed my teeth, activated Aki's eyes, spawned a toothbrush on my hand, and gave it to Aloe.

"You can materialize that fast now?"

"I have Aki's eyes." I said as I activated Kanata's eyes.

Though, I will need to actually learn to materialize without using Aki's eyes, cause this does consume a bit more of my LF than I'd like.

"Start brushing your teeth."

She nodded.

After she brushed her teeth, I dragged her upstairs, got my study desk chair for her, and then I put my arm around her as I typed on the keyboard.

"Please don't tell the others about my gifts for them, Aloe."

All of the gifts were prepared in gift bags when I took a short break from giving the fuckers viruses.

"My mouth is sealed." She giggled.

I then tweeted about the topics I'd like to talk about in my let's talk stream. I DEFINITELY will not include Aloe's hiatus here. Topics are:

-My talents, and how I got to them
-My upcoming music
-Things I've done with the other hololivers

This shall take place on 6:00 PM JST.

I then took a bit of a break and sighed.

"...I wish this chaos would end."

I said as I hugged Aloe tighter.

"What can we do? It was my fault for not deleting it." Aloe said.

"No. You couldn't have known."

"But still, it was my fault for leaving it up."

"Nah 2x. It's okay. It's just that the simps are jealous that you had an ex, the no-lifes find somebody to harass to let them forget their insecurities, and other bullshit reasons that this would happen."

She hugged me back.

"Well, you can't take back what happened." She said.

"And I'm gonna show you that I can fix this." I said.

I then let go and started searching for more.

"...Do you not want to cling anymore?" She asked.

"I think I've gotten my daily dose of hugging. I also think you have more important stuff to do, Aloe."

"Well, before I go, can I get a kiss?"

I stopped typing, turned to her, hugged her close, and kissed her on the neck.

"I-I didn't expect...this, but it's fine-ah!"

I kissed her more on the neck, and then I let go.

"There you go."

She giggled.

"Dummy. You got me kinda horny now."

"Just save that for later on." I smiled.

I don't think I'll have sex just yet.

"Well, I'll be going now. Bye, Yamada-senpai."

"Bye, Aloe. Make sure to lock the door when you go out. Make sure to keep that gift of yours safe!"

She nodded, and then left.

I stretched and cracked my neck and hands.

"Satte...let's ruin more lives."

Though, I did notice that there were strangely a lot of doxxers...their feeds were filled though.

"Hmm...I never knew there were actually this many doxxers."

But I mean, what do you expect? A 100? Cause there are thousands of users here, and I just cancelled about a 100 right now.

I then continued reporting more users, until it was 2:55 PM.

"Time to exercise."

I put on a blue dri-fit shirt, black dri-fit pants, and black shoes.

I then went through the portal.

I cannot emphasize how awkward it is in the training room. Nobody wanted to make a sound.

"I know you all are down because of what happened, but I can assure it can work out." Yamada-sensei said.

"We know..." The others said.

"Can't you help us, Yamada-sensei?" Nene asked.

"I can't...not yet, anyway."

Not yet?

He sighed.

"You all will get it soon enough. Well...at least Yamada will."

They all looked at me.

"What do you mean 'at least I will'?"

"You'll understand soon."

I shrugged it off.

We then went into the 1st step of training.

After going to the 2nd part of the 2nd step of training, I noticed that some of them were more "droopy" than usual, while the others were performing fine.

Yamada-sensei's POV

I sighed internally.

"They're still down...It can't be helped, can it?"

Aloe came near me.

"Well...this was us before too. Remember?"

"Yeah...though..."

I smiled.

"This'll workout just like before. Young Yamada just doesn't know yet."

Yamada's POV

We then took a shower, but me and the boys were silent.

"...Ne, Yamada." Roberu said.

"It's Aloe, right?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"Gomen, Roberu, but I seriously don't wanna talk about it now."

"We all don't want to talk about it either. None of us want to."

"Then why'd you ask me that?"

"I just...wanted to comfort you."

I giggled a bit. How could Roberu mess up like that in comforting? Well...this does mess with our brain. It's like the Towa incident all over again.

"It's okay, Roberu. I just...want this madness to stop. We all want it to stop."

"Yeah..."

We then had silence between us.

"You all will help me stop this too, right?"

"Absolutely." They all said.

"Arigatou."

"Aloe-chan's not only a member of Hololive, she's a family member." Kira said.

"I may not be close to her, but she's still a part of Hololive." Aruran said.

"We're gonna stop this madness together!" Shien said.

"Thanks, guys."

"No problem, leader!"

I'm quite happy everybody is also devoted to this.

We then dried ourselves, put on our clothes, and went to the training room.

I then went to Yamada-sensei and whispered into his ear.

"Yamada-sensei, can you open a portal to my room and give me and the 5th gen a bit of private time, if you know what I mean?"

"Sure."

He then put an invisible barrier between me and the 5th gen.

"Um...I got something for you all, except for Aloe, since she got hers."

"Is it our gifts?" Lamy asked.

I nodded.

I then went into the portal, got their gifts, and handed it to each of them, except for Lamy, since her's is big.

"I hope this cheers you up, despite being in the middle of this chaos. You can open it now if you want, or wait 'till you get home."

They opened it and looked inside while I went to get Lamy's gift.

"Here's yours."

Lamy got the diorama.

They started being happy.

"You...you really went and got me figures..." Nene said.

"Ey! I think I know what this is! It's an otamatone!" Polka said.

"This is...actually well-made." Lamy said.

"Oh? Final Fantasy VII Remake? I may not have a PS4 yet, but I think I'll play this as soon as I get one." Botan said.

I smiled as they interacted with their gifts.

"Do you all like it?"

"Nn!"

"Where's Aloe's though?" Polka asked.

"Oh, she got hers already."

"Yeah...it was a MIDI controller." Aloe said.

"Woah!" They looked at her.

"Well, at least Aloe can make music now. Well, at least make music easier." I said.

Yamada-sensei then got rid of the invisible barrier.

I activated Swift Fox, and went towards Yamada-sensei.

"So...is everybody good to go home now?" Yamada-sensei asked.

They all nodded.

He opened up portals, and we went back into our rooms.

I sighed as I sat on my chair.

"Well...I think I'm gonna need to buy energy drinks."

I then got my wallet, knife, phone recording audio, keys, and then I went out.

I then went to the garage, got my motor, closed the garage, and then I went to a convenience store where I can buy energy drinks.

As I was picking energy drinks, I bumped into Sora.

"Oh? Sora?"

"Oh? Yamada?"

After a while, we bought our stuff, and we stood outside.

"So...how've you been doing?"

"Oh, I'm fine. You know, getting back at the doxxers."

"Well, I've also done some, but it's quite hard." Sora scratched her head.

"I get what you mean. The accounts are becoming hard to find."

I mean, it's getting buried honestly.

"Though...do you think this can work out?" Sora asked.

"It has to. It needs to." I said.

She then hugged me.

"I hope that this can stop, so that we can peacefully go on with our lives, aside from training for our gifts, fighting other people, and whatnot." She giggled nervously.

"Yeah." I giggled.

There was silence between us for a while.

"...Well, I'll be going now, Sora." I kissed her forehead.

"I've also got some business to do too." Sora kissed my cheek.

We waved at each other and said our goodbyes. We then went home.

I put my energy drinks in the fridge and brought one up to my room.

I then worked on it again until 5:55 PM.

I noticed that, after a while, I was getting tired, despite having an energy drink.

"Dammit, it's just like that math challenge training again."

I drank my energy drink again, and threw it in the trash can.

"Welp, I need to prepare for the let's talk stream."

I then prepared OBS, and I was live after waiting for a few more minutes.

"Konbanwa! The Mage of Hololive, Shirazaki Yamada, is here!" I clapped 3 times.

"Welcome to the rice fields, muthafucka!" I laughed.

"So! I put up a poll on twitter, and I shall be giving the results now."

I drum rolled with my mouth, and then I showed the results.

"Here!"

-My talents, and how I got to them - 23%
-My upcoming music, and music in general - 40%
-Things I've done with the other hololivers - 37%

"It seems you guys wanna hear more of my music, ey? Comment of the day is...?"

I then showed it.

"From a user named Domo."

Ah yes...domo. 

"'It's not gay, but I'd like to hear more lyrics.'" I read it out loud and laughed.

"Jesus. Okay. I'll answer most of your questions."

I then looked for some questions.

"Alright. First question is this! 'How long have you been rapping for?' To answer your question, I have been rapping for...7-8 years. But most of my time was spent just freestyling. The rest was actually writing songs. I mean, for the first 6 months, I didn't freestyle, but when I actually tried doing it, and attempting to freestyle. I went from doing 1 bar, to 2 bars, to 4 bars, to 8 bars, and then I worked myself harder to the point where I can do about 5 minutes to freestyling. That was like years ago. I can try freestyling for 15 minutes nowadays, but I prefer 3-5, because it takes too long to rap for 15 minutes. I am capable of doing 15 minutes though."

I searched for another question.

"'Are you self-taught, or did you get lessons?' Both. I was taught by my dad at times, but for the most part, I figured out some stuff by myself. Though, for something like that rising pinky problem when you play piano and guitar, my dad taught me how to get rid of it. It was a HUGE pain to experience that rising pinky." I laughed.

"Next question..."

I found another one.

"'Are you gonna make music along with the other livers?' Now that you mention it, I don't think I actually made covers, nor original songs with the other livers. I'm just used to being alone when I make music, but who knows? I might actually make music with other people." I giggled.

"Next question!"

I then looked for another question.

"'Are most of your songs gonna be raps? or songs?' Well...I am a singer, but when I started doing vocal music, I did listen to music like Beyonce, and all that, but the music that I composed before was rap. That was literally the only music I composed before, but when I started to take a liking in singing and wanting to learn how to sing, I started making music that involves singing. Though, if I had to choose one over the other, I think I'd be a rapper more than a singer. Not saying I don't like singing, it does help a lot, and it's fun, but I think if I had one taken away from me, I'd be a rapper. Slim Shady all the way, bitch!" I laughed.

"Next question!" I clapped twice.

I then looked for other questions. One of them piqued me.

"'What rapper do you take your style from?' Well...honestly, I take a lot of styles." I laughed.

"Um...though, before, Eminem used to be the only rapper I'd like. It wasn't the swearing that caught my attention, but the imagery, the humor, the words, the punchlines. That's what got me into rapping. Although I did suck at it at first, what do you expect? I became a world-class rapper overnight? I even had to start with one syllable rhymes before I got into multis."

I drank a bit of water.

"Towater. Anyway, as I got deeper into the hip-hop rabbit hole, I started liking more rappers than just Eminem. I liked Biggie Smalls, Tupac, MF Doom, Logic, Joyner Lucas, and many more. If I had to like one old rapper though, it'd be Eminem. He was the one that got me into rapping. If I had to choose one new school rapper though...it's quite hard. I mean, I like Logic, Joyner Lucas, NF, and those kinda rappers. If I did have to choose a very new school rapper, it'd be NF. Not only does he not swear, he makes bars, and I mean BARS!" I giggled.

"Like damn, in 'Paid my Dues', I liked that line when he said 'People claim they're in your corner but leave you in times of need.' Like holy shit, that is so true." I laughed.

"Anyway, enough bragging! I take a lot of styles and make my own, basically. I just really like rapping, but it doesn't mean I hate singing. I do love me a little bit of NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN! NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESSERT YOU!"

I clapped twice.

"Rick rolled, and next question, motherfuckers!"

I looked for another question.

"'What's your favorite Joyner Lucas song?' Ooh...good question...I like all of his songs. Ross Capicchioni, I'm Not Racist, Revenge, ISIS, 10 bands...Lucky You-there's so many songs I like about Joyner Lucas. If I had to pick one though...I think it's gotta be Revenge. That moment when you thought you succeeded, only to be held back by the one you backstabbed. I just love that satisfaction." I shrieked.

"Oh man, my inner rap fanboy is going out." I laughed.

"Next question!" I clapped twice.

I then read more questions.

"'What is your favorite Hololive music?' Good question. I like Sora's music, Suisei's music, AZKi's music, and so much more. Even their covers...though, no favoritism here, because they're all lit, I like 'Next Color Planet.' The melody is catchy, the instrumentals make good harmony, and everything. Though it's a pain in the ass to make, the result is what matters." I giggled.

"Next question!"

I then looked for another question.

"'Is your EP gonna consist a majority of raps, or songs?' Well, you'll find out soon, but just know that my sneak peek gave you a hint." I giggled.

"Next question!"

I answered more questions, and then I answered one last question.

"'Are you planning to make more music in the future?' Absolutely! I'd like to release more music for you all. Whether it be sad, happy, romantic, as a challenge, or whatever I'd like to make, I'll make music for you all!" I giggled.

"I mean, I'm aware I'm not world-class yet, but soon enough, I just want to look back at all my work and see how far I've gone in my career as a Vtuber. I mean, I never knew what I wanted to be when I grow up, and now look at me. This is what I enjoy, and this is what my life is now. So I hope you all will be looking forward to my future music!"

 I got rid of twitter and clapped twice.

"That's all for my 'Let's Talk' stream tonight. I hope you all enjoyed the stream, and got to know a bit more of my EP, future releases, and my music tastes." I giggled.

"Let's all stay positive, and hope that the future will be good right now!" I said.

It had an underlying meaning saying "Don't be down because of the Aloe incident. Let's hope that the future will be good. Be happy!"

"I hope you all will have good days, and I'll see you guys in future streams! Oh yeah, gotta announce something. I think I might make an album after I make the EP." I laughed.

"I don't know, but I think I might make it, since I'm getting lots of ideas for music. The thing I'm worried about is that-well, not to boast, but if my music actually becomes a hit, I might get into a few shows, celebration parties, and all that, but who knows? I might actually just hit around 1M views after a week and the views start to decrease. We'll see in the future, madoshis!"

I prepared to end the stream.

"Hello, would you like to go on a date with me-okay, that's a dick, nevermind-"

I ended the stream.

I then laughed.

"Man, I had such a good time."

I then frowned.

"Aloe..."

I clenched my fists.

"I can't just forget about Aloe."

I had such a good time, it made me forget the badness for a bit.

"Well, I just hope everybody had a good time too, despite the chaos."

I went and took a shower.

"I'll do whatever I can to stop this."

After I took a shower, I then looked for more harassers until it was 10:00 PM, and slept.

"Goodnight, minna..."

Especially you, Aloe.

Time skip~

August 30, 2020
9:00 PM

For the 2 weeks, I then recorded my songs for the album, and Yagoo took care of preparing to release it. It would apparently release on September 5, 2020.

We did lots of stuff. Fubuki went undercover along with Watame, Mio got a cold and I took care of her along with Subaru and others, Miko got a bit affected by her illness, but I was able to let her recover along with a bit of medical attention, I did the same for Kira, I got anti-rad contact lenses, so I don't need my glasses anymore, made everybody my girlfriends except the Indonesian and Chinese branch, gave some of them kisses, got into minor and major fights with some brats, and a lot of memes. I also got 550k subs in those two weeks. I'll almost have 600k soon enough.

There was also a shocking discovery after 1 week of the incident...

August 24, 2020
10:00 AM

Yagoo's POV

I sighed.

"Jeez. No matter how many we report. We just keep getting more...why?"

Now that I think about it...these accounts have done nothing in the past week. There's also a lot, which is to be expected, but it's unusual that there's more than we thought there would be.

"Inactive for 1 week? That's almost improbable....there's also a few active users that we actually got..."

Unless...!

I widened my eyes.

"Holy shit...it can't be!" I stood from my chair.

Yamada's POV

I noticed that no matter how many I cancelled, there were still a lot. I mean, yes, they're supposed to be inactive, but their feed is actually not active. Since the past week, I did not at least see one retweet or tweet from any of the accounts I fucked up.

"Hmm...why is that...?"

I then thought...

"No way!"

It can't be, right? I mean, with the possibility of gifts, it's possible, but...

"I need to go to Old man."

I put on clothes, and went to the HQ after getting my motor in the garage.

I made my way to the HQ, and I saw Yagoo in his office.

"Old man!" 

I then leaned on his desk.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking about these doxxers?!"

"I think, but I don't know if it's actually true..."

Tomoko then came in busting in the door.

"Bad news!"

We saw her.

"I've been noticing that their email addresses are not connected to one user, but it's very fresh in terms of when it was made. I also noticed that they weren't active, and I thought about one thing."

We looked at each other.

"...Psuedo-users, right?" I said.

They nodded.

"There's no other possible explanation." Yagoo said.

"I mean, with gifts nowadays, something like that is a piece of cake, until you get 5 LF. But still, if 100 x 3 = 300, we must've cancelled more psuedo-users than actual people." I said.

Yagoo clenched his fists.

"They're playing dirty!" He slammed his desk.

It did scare me a bit.

"Tomoko-san, have you found some actual users?"

"Only a few. About 20 of them. We literally cancelled a lot of psuedo-users without realizing it."

"It's better to know it than to be oblivious to the fact that we cancelled psuedo-users." I said while clenching my fists.

Still...this is the dirtiest shit ever.

"We need to be very careful in picking users now. We now know they can be fake accounts. We need something to assure that we got ourselves a true user!" Yagoo said.

We then thought for a bit, and I got an idea.

"I'll make a program that can look at all the people involved in anti-aloe movements, and see which ones are active and inactive."

"Can you do it in time though?" Yagoo asked.

"Remember, Yamada. Time is precious." Tomoko adjusted her glasses.

"I know. It might take me 2 or 3 days, but I definitely can make it. For now, try to do it without the program for now, Old ma-Yagoo, Tomoko-san."

They nodded.

"I'll be making the program from my PC, and I'll bring it here in a USB so you all can use it."

I then went back home, and I started working on the program.

After it was made, we tried cancelling as many users as we could without the program, and then with the program, after I made it.

August 30, 2020
9:00 PM

We were supposed to meet in the building. Yagoo texted me about that.

I then went up the building and hummed Can't get over you by Joji as I made my way towards the meeting room.

"No one can~♪."

I danced a bit after going in the room.

I saw the girls. Some were crying, some were frustrated, some were just distraught. Even Yagoo was frowning.

"Hmm?"

I took my earphones off, as I put them in my hoodie's pocket.

"What's wrong? I thought we did a good job on those guys."

"Well, you see, Yamada-senpai..." Aloe said.

Yagoo was about to break. I knew something was wrong.

"What is it, Ol-Yagoo?"

He stood up, leaned on his desk, and looked at me in the eye.

"Yamada...are you ready for the news?"

All the girls looked at me, bracing for my reaction.

"Hit me."

"...Aloe will graduate." He said.

I widened my eyes, and my heart shattered into a million pieces.

All the memories...all the possible collabs...all the possible laughs, moments, and everything...and then this had to happen.

"...You've got to be joking."

"No, I'm not. Aloe will really graduate-"

"OLD MAN!"

I slammed his desk.

Our faces were close.

"Old man, you do know what this means, right?!"

"I tried to stop her!"

"S-Stop her?"

Aloe then held my shoulder and I faced towards her.

"It was my decision."

My heart broke even more.

"I-I understand, because your parents were also harassed, but..."

Seriously?

"I've had enough." She said.

She looked at me in the eyes.

"Promises are meant to be broken, whether it's intentional, or just something that fate won't allow. I told you, Yamada-senpai, our work was in vain." She started crying.

I also started crying.

"No. No 4x. This is NOT happening." I held my head.

KUSOOOOOO!!!!!! I DON'T WANT MY KOUHAI GRADUATING!

"If I could just get my hands on those doxxers, I wouldn't mind ripping their heads off."

I'm not joking. I am willing to commit a sin that I know won't be good just to get back at those fuckers that made Aloe's life hell.

"If only I made the program faster-"

"It's not a case whether you made it faster or not-" I cut off Yagoo.

"WHAT? YOU DON'T CARE IF ALOE GRADUATES, OLD MAN?!"

"Do you think I DON'T?!" He slammed the desk.

We stared at each other.

"You know it's because of those psuedo-users. I'm just as frustrated as you."

I clenched my fists.

"I don't care if I get hate, nor do I care if my dream is crushed. Everybody can curse at me for being the worst CEO, and I wouldn't give a single shit. They can even throw stones at my face, but as soon as one shithead touches someone dear to me, whether it's my family, a talent from Hololive, or anybody I treasure, I'd go out of my way to stop it, even if I had to skip my paperwork."

I can't really blame my Old Man, but still...

"...If only this didn't happen..."

I started crying a lot.

"Yamada-senpai. Just let go of me. I'm just one talent-"

I slapped Aloe's hand away.

"DON'T YOU GET IT, ALOE?! YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVED YOU?! YOUR FANS?!"

"IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT!"

We kept silent for a bit.

"It's not about that. It was also my fault for leaving that L2D test video...I was being carefree..."

"No. It's those scum that tried to get rid of you..."

"Yamada-senpai, I know it's hard, but please. We can still see each other in real life, so you don't need to keep me in Hololive."

"Aloe! Didn't you work hard in trying to get in Hololive along with your friends?!"

She kept silent.

The other girls were still distraught.

"Whatever..." I said.

I just want to punch something.

"Yamada-senpa-"

I activated Fubuki's eyes, and I activated Swift Fox. Sorry, Aloe, but I want to be alone for a while.

I then went down the building, and I ran towards the forest, but not in Aokigahara. 

I went into the forest, and stopped after I got into a big open space.

"Kuso. Kuso! KUSO! KUSOOOOOOOO!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

My voice was so loud, I bet the people near Tokyo heard that.

"ALOEEEEEEEEEEE!" I screamed.

Get ready to do your health bar, shak, unless you quitted doing it.

I then punched a tree while activating Strength Amplification and I put a barrier on my hand. My strength was 10 tonnes, so this used a lot of my LF.

It was so strong, a couple trees got knocked down.

My right hand started bleeding a lot.

"*panting* Aloe..."

I started crying and held my chest.

I punched the ground, but I was a bit weak because a lot of LF was taken away from me, and my right hand was bleeding, so I used Kanata's eyes.

"I don't want Aloe gone..."

I just want to see her smile every time I see her with her friends, in dates, and just in general.

I started punching the ground with my right hand.

"Kuso! KUSO! KUSOOOOOOOOO!"

I put my head in the ground and screamed at the top of my lungs again.

"FUCK MY LIIIIIIIIIFE!!" 

I punched the ground one more time, and put my hands on my eyes as I cried.

I cried very hard.

After a while, I heard Yamada-sensei from my back.

"Hey, young Yamada."

I looked behind and deactivated Kanata's eyes.

"Yamada...sensei?"

I wiped my tears and stood up while facing towards him. I did involuntarily sniff at times, but it lasted for a while. I also noticed he healed my right hand, and the blood on my shirt and face was not there anymore.

"What are you *sniff* doing here? *sniff*"

"You remember when I said that I can't help just yet?"

I nodded.

"Why didn't you help me *sniff* in this chaos?"

"That's because I waited to see if you knew the answer to all this yet. Do you still not know what the solution to all this is?"

I shook my head.

"No. *sniff*"

He laughed.

"W-What's so funny?!" I said angrily.

"Oh man, you were exactly like me." He wiped his eyes.

"Young Yamada. Recall all the sayings you remember from the past, and see if one of them catches your brain."

I then did so.

"No man is an Island."

"Progress, not perfection."

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a small step."

"Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope..." I mumbled.

"Kinda close." He giggled.

"To narrow it down for you, remember all the sayings you applied in chess." He said.

I nodded.

"When you see a good move, look for a better one."

"Tactics mean doing what you can with what you have."

"You thought of one that's close to the real saying, but not close enough." Yamada-sensei said.

Really? I must dig deeper.

"In order to look forward, you need to look backwards."

Yamada-sensei snapped his fingers.

"Bingo!"

"H-Huh?"

"That's exactly what you need to apply right now."

"B-But how?! I don't what I can look back at!"

"Reword it."

"Huh? Reword it?"

I then realized.

"In order to go forward..."

"You need to go backwards." He said.

I looked at him.

"Wait...you can't be serious." I chuckled.

He giggled.

"Oh yes..."

I started laughing.

"Oh man, that's actually such a simple solution, and I didn't see that." I laughed even more.

"Yeah. We're gonna rewrite history."

After a while, I stopped laughing.

"Though...Isn't that gonna take a lot of LF?"

"I'll help you, but you're gonna need to put in yours for this. You know? Contribution and training."

"Yeah 2x." I smiled.

Man. I never knew that the answer was actually that simple.

"All I just needed to do was just rewind time, and delete Aloe's L2D test video myself."

"Yeah, but before we go and rewrite history..."

He looked back, and I saw everybody. Even the Indonesia and Chinese branch.

"Huh? Everybody?"

"We heard everything." Aqua said.

"Welp, seems my boyfriend's gonna do something amazing again." Sora scratched her head.

"Rewrite history? Now that's just so cool!" Korone said.

"Yamada, take care when you go!" Haato said.

"Yamada! Save Aloe-chan-peko!"

"We're cheering for you, Yamada!" Watame shouted.

"Yamada-senpai! I hope you'll look cool when you get back!" Botan said.

"Do it, you pervert!" Risu shouted.

"Hey, make sure to tell me if you found a hot girl!" Artia said.

"YOU CAN FUCKING DO IT, YAMADA!" All the Holostars said.

Everybody cheered for me.

"Minna..."

Yamada-sensei held my shoulder.

I also saw the senseis with the others.

"Before you go, young Aloe has something to say to you." Yamada-sensei said.

Aloe then ran up to me.

"I got 2 things for you."

She slapped me.

"ITAI!"

"Baka." Aloe said.

I held my left cheek.

"Why'd you do that-"

She kissed my right cheek.

I saw the JP branch go yandere mode. Everybody distanced themselves a bit and sweat dropped. The senseis just giggled.

"I heard that this could be dangerous...please don't die on me." Aloe said.

I chuckled.

"I'm Shirazaki Yamada, the mage of Hololive, Aloe. How could I die if I got everything I need?"

She giggled.

"I'll never forgive you if you die!"

"I'll make it out alive. I promise."

I also noticed they were crying

"Why are you all crying?"

"You see, when we go and 'rewrite' history, all the memories you made up to this moment will be forgotten." Yamada-sensei said.

I widened my eyes.

"So before you go, how about giving them a hug before they forget that everything that happened up to this moment doesn't exist anymore?"

I nodded.

Aloe hugged me first.

"What are you all waiting for?! Group hug, supports!"

Everybody then went and hugged me.

After about 5 seconds, I released them.

Yamada-sensei then made a portal to that white and pink space.

"Let's start this." Yamada-sensei said.

I nodded.

"Bye, everybody!"

"Bye!" They all said.

We waved at each other, and me and Yamada-sensei went into the portal.

"Alright. I'll teach you how to rewind time. You know how to slow and speed time up, but it's time you finally do it. Can you visualize and understand how rewinding time works?"

I thought for a bit.

"Visual-wise, rewinding is just the clock going counter-clockwise, and the second-hand, minute-hand, and hour-hand go relative to the time. Understanding wise..."

"If speeding time up is like time being a thread, and time is sped up, or a clock going clockwise fast, rewinding time is essentially the same, but instead of letting everything do its own thing, you basically think back to the moment everything happened."

"So if I think back to that time before the 5th gen debuted, and Aloe made that L2D test vid, time will basically rewind?"

He nodded.

"Give it a try, and let's see if you're doing it correctly."

I then suddenly felt energized. I bet he gave me full LF.

"Alright..."

"Remember to put a UTF on your brain so you won't forget, and do something disastrous." He said.

I nodded.

We talked about this. If I manipulate time without putting a UTF on my brain, time would go haywire, and it varies, depending on when I stop rewinding time.

I then looked at the date. As I recalled to that moment when I got a cold, time was starting to rewind. My brain was conscious, but my actions felt weird.

Once Pekora left my house, I then waited for a while, and then I ran towards my garage.

"Good thing I still remember where Aloe's apartment was."

"I'll be your stranger danger radar."

"Arigatou, Yamada-sensei!"

I then got my motor, and I went towards Aloe's apartment's front.

I did telepathy with Yamada-sensei.

"Yamada-sensei, is Aloe taking a shower?"

"Honestly, I think you're gonna go through what I did so you can know. Go to one of those rooftops, spy from the distance, and make a portal to the room."

I groaned.

"Welp, should've expected my sensei would train and help me at the same time."

The usual kung fu training. Helping and training.

Yamada-sensei taught me how to make portals, but it does cost a lot of LF. It costs 7. My pool though has become 50, so I'm mostly fine, but taking into account the rewinding and what I'm about to do, I think it'll be a miracle if I just get 5 LF once this is done.

I then went on top of the rooftops, and I spied into her room.

After a while, I saw Aloe go away.

"Hmm...how would I confirm if she went to take a shower?" I mumbled.

"Just put an invisible field around you as you approach that window, hang on to that window and peek inside, and go in."

"Makes sense."

I then did that, and I started becoming weaker, so I activated Kanata's eyes.

I went inside her room and got on her PC, but I didn't sit on her chair. I can hear her humming in the shower while the shower head is on, and it's kinda pressuring me.

I then tried finding that L2D test vid she made.

"Make it quick. She's close to finishing."

"I know 2x."

"C'mon...where is it?" I mumbled.

Aloe's POV

While I was showering, I thought I heard somebody.

"Is somebody there?" I said.

Yamada's POV

Yabai! I think she heard my mumbles and clicks of the mouse. I'm literally so close to deleting the video!

Aloe's POV

"...Eh, that's stupid. I'm sure nobody is there."

Yamada's POV

I sighed in relief.

I then deleted the vid, but as I deleted the vid, I also heard the shower head turn off.

"OH SHIT. GET OUT." Yamada-sensei thought.

I made a portal and quickly got out. I went back to the rooftop and closed the portal.

Aloe's POV

I put on clothes, and then I went to my PC.

"Ah...much better. Time to go watch my senpais' streams!"

I then continued watching more streams, and I also multitasked by chatting with my friends in Discord.

"Hmm...I wonder what Yamada-senpai is like?"

Yamada's POV

I sighed in relief and activated Kanata's eyes.

"I was almost caught..."

"You could've smelled her panties before you went." He deadpanned.

"I'm not that kind of pervert!"

"Jokes aside, get back to our personal space."

He opened a portal behind me and I went in.

I saw the white and pink space again.

"So, before you go and speed time up again, I think I'll have to tell you to speed it up and stop exactly at August 16, 9:10 PM."

"Huh? Why?"

"Well, remember when I talked about 'disturbances?'"

"Oh yeah, because I changed something in my universe, she is actually gonna stay in Hololive, unlike what my universe intended."

He nodded.

"And if you rewind back to that time that you were in currently, they'd think you're crazy, because certain stuff happened that you don't remember, and things didn't happen but you remember it, and also because time stuff would be a bit messed up. Remember, we need to balance everything as much as possible, even during a disturbance."

I nodded.

"Good."

He checked the time.

"Well, time to go back to that time?"

I nodded.

"I guess I'll have to start over again." I sighed.

"I know how much you hate changing stuff, but you need to, you know? I did an alternate version of this, but it was essentially the same thing. My wives and bros knew what happened, but it took a bit longer to spill the beans than that time when you died."

"Sou ka, so I might spill mine later on."

He nodded.

"Time to go to August 16. Remember that a disturbance happened, so events that happened the past 2 weeks could be different, could be the same, but essentially, some things are different from what happened, okay?" He said.

I nodded.

I deactivated Kanata's eyes, and then I sped time up again up to August 16, 9:10 PM.

I then was breathing hard as I lied in bed.

"Shit."

I got 4 LF!

I opened my window, and I tried finding somebody in the streets that I could get at least 1 LF from.

I then found a guy with a purple hoodie, and I got 1 LF.

I finally got 5 LF, closed the window, and sighed in relief as I lied back in bed.

"Oh my god...those were one of the most intense moments in my life." I giggled.

I then started laughing.

"Oh man...I can't believe Aloe is finally able to stay in Hololive." I cried in happiness.

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

"Fear not, simps! I have saved your dear succubus! Aloe will be able to smile once more and give happiness to the world! She'll be able to have teetee moments with Holofive! Everything is good now!" I laughed.

I went and drank a bit of water, alarmed it to 5:30 AM, and then slept.

"Well...I guess I'll be going through these events again." I giggled.

"With that, goodnight everybody. Especially you, Aloe." I mumbled.

I then slept.

As I was sleeping, I wonder how everybody was in the root universe, since I do know that this is an event that happened in the root universe...I hope Aloe will be remembered for as long as they all live.
