Chapter 49: Let’s Go♪

"Just a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest station, welcome to the mountain oasis! Right now, a shuttle bus is also running! The natural hot spring leisure hotel Steam Beam is packed with activities you can enjoy with family and friends! For more details, check the address in the stream description—Let’s Go♪"

Top Chat: Eh
Top Chat: Eh
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Who?
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: What?
Top Chat: Eh, who?

"Not much of a reaction."

"I thought it was a good smile, but maybe I should’ve let Misora read it instead."

"I don’t think that’s the reason at all…"

Top Chat: Ah, it’s the usual Elf-san
Top Chat: Got so startled I thought I clicked the wrong channel
Top Chat: I thought Elf-san broke down
Top Chat: Thought maybe a twin sister showed up
Top Chat: One for me, please
Top Chat: The fact that the entire chat got filled with nothing but confusion instead of any other reaction is kinda impressive
Top Chat: What was that slightly outdated ad slogan just now?

"They asked me while giving permission for the stream."

"On Fever Support Misora Channel, Misora will be reading it aloud, so please look forward to that too."

"Ah, so I’m doing it too."

"The costume has already been prepared."

"Wait—what costume!?"

"Look forward to it."

"Riku-kun, what do you mean, costume!?"

Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: Guess we’ll have to watch now lol
Top Chat: Damn… so this is the power of a VTuber who handles tons of sponsorships…!
Top Chat: Not sure if I’d call it VTuber power though
Top Chat: So this is the place being promoted this time
Top Chat: What kind of place is it?

"A hotel."

Top Chat: That gave us less info than the ad copy lol
Top Chat: The way she pats the gate is cute

The location is in front of the hotel entrance. They had also asked to show the exterior, so that’s why this spot. It looked more like a traditional inn than a hotel—hardly luxurious, but the gate and stone path were carefully cleaned, giving the sense of wanting to warmly welcome guests.

"From here, I’ll explain. The hot spring of Hotel Steam Beam is a sulfur spring good for the skin. Bathing hours are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. While it isn’t the main focus of this Elf-san stream, on Fever Support Misora Channel we’d also like to hear Elf-san’s impressions."

Top Chat: Hmmm, this staff is a model example of smoothly funneling people to Misora’s channel
Top Chat: Damn it… even though it’s this blatant, I still end up watching
Top Chat: More than flushed post-bath skin, I’m curious what Elf-san’s gonna say next
Top Chat: Exactly that

"Dinner, packed with plenty of mountain delicacies, is served from 6 to 10 p.m. The café closes at midnight. Their special cream pudding is said to be so popular that even locals come to buy it."

"Cream pudding… I’d like to try it too."

"It’s prepared as a reward for participating in activities, so if you give it your best, Misora, you’ll get to eat it."

"Alright, I’ll do my best!"

Top Chat: The staff really does give off a reliable staff vibe
Top Chat: Explains everything smoothly and clearly without cue cards
Top Chat: If only he didn’t have that sadistic streak, I’d take him as a wife…
Top Chat: Wife?
Top Chat: Wife

"I’ve already left the luggage with the staff, so shall we head straight to the activity experience? Any questions?"
"What time does the pillow fight go until?"

Top Chat: Elf-san w
Top Chat: This guy… his eyes are dead serious!
Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: What is it with Elf-san occasionally letting his boy side show w
Top Chat: Girls do pillow fights too, y’know
Top Chat: And break windows on school trips too, y’know
Top Chat: No way, the girls watching Elf-san are scary…

"While Misora and Elf-san are trying the activity, we’ll check on things. Now then, let’s head out."
"Yeah!"
"Right!"

Top Chat: Not sure what they’d even check though
Top Chat: "Excuse meee, what time does the pillow fight go until?"
Top Chat: "The last pillow is scheduled for 10:30 p.m."
Top Chat: It’s not a last order menu, lol

"The first activity Misora and Elf-san will be experiencing is the one I mentioned earlier: the See-Through Meat-Slip Ball Rolling."

Top Chat: Staff lol
Top Chat: You’re gonna get in trouble lol
Top Chat: You definitely remembered it and said that on purpose lol
Top Chat: Super something… what was the actual name again?
Top Chat: All my brain has left is ‘See-Through Meat-Slip Ball Rolling’

"The match will be twenty minutes total, with two ten-minute halves. It’s a little short, but since there are other activities waiting, we decided on this length."

"Riku-kun, it’s a three-on-three game, right? How are the teams being made?"

"This time, it will be the streamer team of Misora and Elf-san challenging the hotel’s Activity Four Kings in a two-versus-three irregular rule."

Top Chat: The Activity Four Kings
Top Chat: Starting to smell like an old variety show
Top Chat: And the poor fourth king who got left out…

"And if the streamer team wins, they’ll receive the café’s special cream pudding mentioned earlier."

"Yay! Awesome!"

"If you lose, Misora will instead receive my special not-cream-pudding."

"Not-cream-pudding? What’s that!?"

"Something edible."

"That’s way too low a hurdle to clear!"

"This is the last food preparation I’ve arranged, so I really want you to enjoy it."

"Ughhh, we can’t lose…"

"Alright, let’s win this!"

Top Chat: Elf-san sure looks like he’s having fun
Top Chat: Peaceful streaming has returned
Top Chat: Even Elf-san won’t manage to break an athletic game, surely
Top Chat: …Why’d you have to raise that flag?
