"Alright, let's win this last game guys!" I said to hype up the team! That manga shelf is mine!
"Oh, they won't be helping you for the last game..." Kana said with a smirk.
"What? I thought you guys..." that's when I realized... "Everyone else lost their lives! It's only you now! Say bye-bye to that manga, because I'll be sleeping in my own room tonight! Mwahahaha!" Kana roared into laughter upon seeing my reaction.
I looked at Hotaka, who was visibly worried and pulled him aside to speak in private. "Is this even about romance anymore? Kana is acting pretty scary, but I admit it's a bit cute seeing Kana act out of character—" "Okay, no! Let's just say this, are you okay with losing this match?" I interrupted him and asked.
"Of course not! I'm gonna do what makes her happy!" he declared.
"Sigh... I guess it's gonna be a loss for me then." I said in a defeated tone. "Really, thanks—" "Nope! Just joking! Have fun sleeping in the guest room with your beloved!" I gave him a smile as I walked away.
"What did you guys talk about? It better not be some sort of foul play! I won't count this as a win if someone didn't play their best! Kana threatened to call off the bet.
"Oh, it's nothing! Just some friendly banter with opponents!"
"Kana! Let's start this game and win it! This trash talker deserves to be taught a lesson!" all of a sudden, Hotaka came stomping at us and was itching to beat me. Come on, what did I even do to him.
"Alright then! I like that spirit" Kana said with a smile on her face.
What the actual heck?! Do these guys hate me or something?!
Hotaka proceeded to mouth the words "I'm sorry" to me. Like that's gonna fix my mood, mean jerk.
"Final Round, begin!" Haruka and Hotaru shouted. Looks like we have announcers in the last round. Gosh, why does the loading screen take so long?! I thought this was a godlike computer set up!
"Good day to you Announcer Hotaru!"
"Good day to you as well, my partner announcer Haruka! What do we have in store for today?"
"Well, it appears we have ourselves a fine match, Hotaru! It's the fight for Kana's bedroom! Why are we fighting for a simple bedroom you ask, the imaginary viewer? Well, let me tell you! Kana's room has shelves of manga, a 90-inch television set, a queen-er sized bed, and a dakimakura of a cute anime boy! It's the room all koreaweeaboos dream of!"
"Sounds like a dream to live in, Haruka!"
"Not gonna be a dream for long, Hotaru! Because a team is gonna sleep in it tonight! Now, introducing the players in it to win it!"
"Ohh can I do the first team, Haruka?"
"Sure you can, Hotaru!"
"Thanks Haruka! Now for the first team, the team with both players still intact, the blue team! Introducing the team captain, my best friend! I repeat, MY best friend! Kana Sayuri, my imaginary viewers!"
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Hotaka annoyingly interrupted.
"Oh, and Hotaka... yay..." Hotaru said in the most dead tone.
"Oh, come on! Add some energy to—"
"Aaaaaand in the Red team, my best friend, this time! Akari Fujita, everyone!"
"Hey don't interrupt me like that—"
"Now for the player interviews! Starting with the solo player, Akari! How do you feel knowing that you're the only one left on our team, sorry, by the way..."
"Oh, erm... It's ok. But why are you guys doing this weird shout casting? It's not like people are actually watching us..." I said as I scratched my cheek.
"Whatever do you mean, we're live streaming this right now! See here look at the chat!" she pointed out.
Oh, crud they're actually live streaming this!
"Please turn off the cameras!" I said as I tried to cover up the cameras.
Amidst this chaos, Hotaru has the audacity to say, "Please hold, we're having some physical and technical difficulties!"
