After Story: The Viewer and the Streamer
Reality, Kurosaki Household
Right after the battle at the Eighth Arena, Juri logged out.
Her mother returned from work soon after that, so she just barely evaded being caught playing Dendro.
The cold she’d caught was making her feel pretty bad all over. Her head was hot and felt like it was stuffed with cotton, as though her body were basically begging her to get some sleep.
However, there was something she wanted to do before passing out.
“Umm... Japanese works for this, right?” Juri took her mobile device in hand, went to a video-sharing platform, and ran a search.
She found what she wanted right away.
“There... That’s done. I’ll do more...after I wake up...”
Finally, she’d reached her limit, and she fell asleep.
The mobile device was still in her hand, its screen showing a channel with a freshly clicked subscribe button.

“Yeah. This is good! It’s done!”
G—Ginga Fujiwara—finished her work and stretched as if tired.
After she’d gotten the death penalty, she’d spent the entire day editing the footage she’d created in Dendro.
The fact that she could do this on zero sleep was a show of just how immersed she was in her work.
“This video’s crazy good! And making it was so much fun.”
Those were her honest thoughts as she looked over the recordings and what she’d built from them.
The video had plenty of intense action, emotional moments, even some comedy from the Unbreakable’s reactions. It was exciting all throughout.
She’d lost and hadn’t managed to steal his arena, but she was more than glad that she’d gone to Gideon.
The actors had flourished on her stage, and she was shining bright even in defeat.
It was easily one of the best videos she’d ever made.
“Hrmmm... I’m still a bit upset that I lost, though. He did beat my brother, so if I’d beaten him, I would’ve finally become the better sibling... Well, come to think of it, he lost a one-on-one fight, while they outnumbered me four to one, so...maybe I’m still better than him?”
With those words, she set the finished video up for a premiere.
“Well... At least I made some new friends. That’s something to be happy about.”
A good video and a longer friend list—she’d gained more than she lost, so she couldn’t complain too much.
“I got a good story to tell Shousen too... Aaaahhh...” G mentioned her clan’s sub-leader—a name that might have rung a bell for Ray—before letting out a yawn.
Having been up since logging in for the recording, Ginga had finally reached her limit.
There was still time until the premiere, so she’d decided to get some sleep. She checked on her channel one last time and went to bed.
The subscriber count that she saw was slightly bigger than it had been yesterday...
