Ch 31 - Lily

(Nari POV)

"It was nice meeting you, Rintarou" said by Nari as she left Rintarou's apartment and went back to her own as she felt weird.

"... Was that really Rintarou? He's so... different from what I know" muttered by Nari as she plop down on her bed and look around her room to and at her desk which shows her set up.

"Sigh, is he also playing a facade? Is that the real him, or is that the fake him? I wasn't particularly close to him, sigh, enough about that I still have work to do this night" muttered by Nari as she took out her phone and opened twatter.

'Who even is his uncle? I thought he was poor? Considering his frugal nature and all, but here he is spending thousands of dollars on a computer for his hobby, well he did say it came from his uncle, who even is his uncle' thought by Nari as she scrolled through twatter.

'Sigh, lets just take a power nap before I start working' muttered by Nari as she turned off her phone and went to take a quick nap.

(A Few Hours Later)

"Yawn, what time is it?" muttered by Nari as she woke up from her nap and looked outside the snow filled landscape.

"Oh, its already 7:30. Its almost time" muttered by Nari as she went and took a shower and put on a set of new clothes which was black hoodie and a black pajama and sat down on her gaming chair and turned on her computer and lights and yawned.

"A few minutes left" muttered by Nari as she hop on Biscord and joined a call on her friend group.

"Oh, Lily! You're finally here!" said by a person with the name Silvy as Nari responded.

"Yeah, hey Silvy, I'm gonna tell you something after stream so remind me later if I forget it" said by Nari as she opened Chroma and log on Twatch.

"Oho, why don't you tell it to us too Lily" said by another person named Kira.

"Yeah, tell us Lily!" said by another person named Mina.

"What, is it something related in real life? You did say you guys are friends before even streaming and know each other in real life" said by another person named

"Sigh, as always Ari hits the mark. But its related to someone and I respect their privacy so I won't tell you guys, but besides that its another hand stream. I always wonder what it would be like to do a face reveal? Not needing to wear this face mask all the time when streaming, and I'm not even using a face cam most of the time, and its only when Kira forces us to do it because she wants it to be fair" said by Nari.

"Well the face mask really helps when streaming with a face cam, nobody even knows its me even when I stream with a face cam because of the mask, oh look its almost time now, get ready for the collab guys and for the fight to the death!" said by Kira as they heard a confident laugh from Kira.

"Tsk, and you force us to do a hand stream because "no cheating", just you wait when I decimate you live" said by Mina.

"Ha! As if, oh its about to start!" said by Kira as she mute herself along with everyone else and sighed.

She opened her camera and also another one that focuses on her hands as she sighed at Kira's competitive behavior and started her intro.

She was Lily, a popular content creator and streamer both on Metube and Twatch, with more than a million subsribers on Metube and more than a hundred thousand followers on Twatch, she is a very successful person with her age.

She started doing this only a year ago along with her friend Silvy and made friends along the way and also made a SMP together on Craftmine a few months ago, some of her streamer friends were taking a break for quite a while now with only the five of them left in the present as others took their vacation with their family for the winter break.

Then the stream started with her putting on her face mask, she did the usual stuff she always does and log on to Craftmine and entered their SMP server as she felt a bit weirded out to see her face that has a mask on constantly on the side but she was able to get used to it quite fast and started the stream, she explored the world and now the fight to the death is about to start on the arena she personally built for a few hours straight.

She took a deep breathe and joined back in the call to hear the constant trash talk coming from Kira as she chuckled.

"Eh herm, first round, Lily and Kira. Hand cams are indeed on, no cheating seems to be seen, is everyone checking both of their POVs?" ask by Ari.

"Yep" said by Mina.

"Yeah" said by Silvy as Ari press down the timer.

"Go!" said by Ari as the battle started and after a few seconds, Lily was now screaming for her life.

"AAHHHHHHH!!! I'm gonna die! Fuck you Kira!!!" shouted by Lily as her hands blitz through her keyboard and mouse as she fought to the death inside the game.

"Hahaha! You're already low on health! Prepare to d-" Kira suddenly stop her voice and her attack as she along with everyone and their chat heard a resounding sound of wood being kick as Lily's door was busted open and saw a black and white haired man with heterochromatic eyes rushing in as Lily turned around in surprise and was shock to see Rintarou there and wasn't able to think properly for a few seconds.

"R- Rin-" Nari was cut off from what she was about to say as Rintarou started explaining.

"Okay, hear me out but I was going to give you some ramen, just a side note I made it, and when I was in front of your apartment I heard you screaming like you were dying so I rush inside, don't worry your doors aren't broken" said by Rintarou, hastily explaining what is happening as he started speaking in english.

'Wait, is his face caught on camera right now!? Fwooh, it seems I block off a good portion of his face' thought by Nari as she took a glimpse at her face cam and took a sigh of relief.

"Here's the ramen by the way" said by Rintarou as he took out a ramen bowl outside of her room and gave it to her with a smile as she adjusted her body to keep blocking his face from the camera and didn't know if she succeeded or not.

"You want it?" ask by Rintarou with a smile.

"... Sure" said by Nari as she took the bowl of ramen from his hand.

"Uhh... goodbye then I guess" said by Rintarou as he prepared to leave but was stopped by Nari.

"Wait!" said by Nari as her mind was still surprise and didn't think properly.

"Hmm?" ask by Rintarou as he turned around.

"T- thank you for being worried about me, but please don't barge in like that next time, you... can just message me next time, I'm going to give you my number later" said by Nari in english as she move around her body that blocks Rintarou's view to her monitors and cameras as Rintarou nodded.

"Got it, thank's for the help you gave me this afternoon by the way, it was so... eye opening? Haha, that sounded so weird but goodnight!" said by Rintarou with a smile as he close her door slowly until it was finally lock off with a click leaving her there with some ramen and a resounding silence as her friends finally got out of their shock.

AN: Surprise! She's a fucking streamer baby, and how does she know Rintarou personally? I thought they were strangers? Just wait for the later chapters, and me from the future here, what I mean by later is a is like 10+ chapters later, but I did give ggnormous hints on what it is on the following chapters.

And yes, even though I say I love all of my novels, I love IR and FB the most and MHA: Telekinesis? I just feel neutral about it.
