Chapter 58 - Yuki's Bank Account Check – Post-Stream Reflection

Yuki ends her stream with a big yawn, rubbing her eyes as her avatar fades from the screen. She reclines in her gaming chair and stretches her arms above her head, feeling the weight of the stream lifting off her shoulders. But, as soon as the screen fades to black, a sudden realization hits her.

Yuki (thinking to herself):

"Okay, I've been putting off checking it, but now's the time... Let's see how much damage I did today."

She pulls out her phone and opens her banking app. The screen lights up with her balance, and she taps on the transaction history, ready to calculate the total expenses from her day's activities.

Transaction Breakdown:

1. Convenience Store – Onigiri and Iced Coffee: ¥450

Yuki shakes her head with a smile.

"Yeah, that was breakfast... or was it lunch? Whatever, it's a snack. And it was delicious. Totally worth it."

2. Train Fee – To School and Back: ¥300

She frowns a little, though. It's a small fee, but the journey feels longer each day.

"The train's always packed... I need to remember to just leave earlier next time."

3. Vending Machine Snacks (Chocolate and Chips): ¥400

Yuki groans internally.

"Ugh, why did I buy so much junk? I could've used that money for something better... like more takoyaki."

4. New Bra (Thanks to Kitsune's ahem "Mishap"): ¥2,500

Her cheeks go pink as she remembers the incident with Kitsune.

"Okay, that's a bit embarrassing. But hey, at least I needed it, right? Thanks, Kitsune. Sort of... not really."

5. Convenience Store Food (Again – Seriously?): ¥600

She chuckles to herself.

"I swear, I need to stop going to that convenience store. This is becoming a habit. I'm practically on first-name terms with the cashier."

6. Takoyaki Shop (Dinner After Karaoke): ¥800

Yuki smiles as she recalls the warm takoyaki.

"Well, at least that was worth it. Takoyaki's my spirit food. I'm glad I went for that instead of the convenience store again."

7. Karaoke Snacks and Drinks (Because Singing While Eating Snacks is a Must): ¥1,000

Yuki sighs with a slight wince.

"Okay, okay, I definitely overdid it on the karaoke snacks. But you know, it's karaoke! You have to snack while belting out songs, right?"

8. Akihabara Spending (A Few Gadgets and Goodies): ¥3,500

Yuki scratches her head, recalling the mini shopping spree at Akihabara.

"Ah, that was way too much. But... I just couldn't resist those cute little figurines and that limited edition game! They were calling to me. I'll make it work."

9. Another Train Fee (Going Home Late): ¥300

She lets out a tired sigh.

"The train again. This one's getting old. But hey, it's all part of the day's adventure, right?"

Yuki stares at the total. Her eyes widen as she calculates in her head. The total damage was... quite a lot.

Yuki (whispering):

"Okay, okay... maybe I went a bit overboard today. But hey, I did just get paid from my stream, so it balances out, right?"

She scrolls back to the top of her banking app and checks her balance. The payment for her stream had just come through, giving her a bit of relief.

Yuki (sighing with a small smile):

"Well, at least I'm not broke... I still have enough to survive the next few days. I'll just have to... be a little more careful with my spending. Maybe I should set a budget or something."

Her stomach growls loudly, reminding her that the takoyaki was now hours ago, and she's probably still hungry despite all the snacking throughout the day.

Yuki (laughing to herself):

"Yeah... no more convenience store snacks tonight. Tomorrow, I'll cook something healthy. I swear. I'll stick to it!"

She scrolls through the app again, glancing at the reminders for upcoming bills, and sighs. It's been a busy day, but it's also been a day well-lived.

Yuki (softly to herself):

"Alright, I've earned this. Time to relax and get some sleep. I'll figure out the rest tomorrow."

---

With a quiet yawn, Yuki closes her phone and sets it down on her desk. She leans back in her chair, rubbing her eyes, and then heads to her bed. The soft glow of the city lights can be seen through the window, but it's still relatively quiet at this hour in Shibuya. As she sinks into the bed, she feels the weight of the day lift off her shoulders.

Yuki (smiling as she closes her eyes):

"Good night, world. Let's do this again tomorrow."

Yuki falls asleep quickly, a soft, contented smile on her face as her exhaustion from the day's chaotic events finally takes over.
