 I’m about to start the stream, and everyone’s gathering.

 [Shumi the Maiden: I’m here!!]

 [The stream is on!]

 [Radio broadcast, let’s go!!]

 [I’ve been waiting!!]

 [RamenHagetoru: Haa haa, is this the place!?]

 [You guys are coming too fast!]

 [As expected, Shumi, you’re always quick!]

 [Shumi-san is too fast!]

 [Shumi really looks happy, doesn’t she?]

 [Admin-san, there’s a weird person here! ＞RamenHagetoru]

 As I wrote in the comments, Shumi the Maiden-san always arrives quickly.

 I’m guessing she’s a housewife with a lot of free time, probably a beautiful older lady.

 That’s what I want to believe, anyway!

 ”Everyone, doing well? It’s getting hot lately, so be careful. Since summer break is around the corner, I thought I’d do one last stream before taking a break.”

 To be honest, I’ve been overworking, so I talked to Ako-san and the others, and we decided to take a proper summer break.

 [Wow, I’m sad, but take a good rest!]

 [Take a good rest, I want to say, but it’s a bit lonely!]

 [So the information about taking a break was true!]

 [Did the Labor Standards Office finally give guidance? It was clearly overwork!]

 [Aqua-kun, don’t push yourself, and save some work for after your break, okay?]

 [It’s sad. It’s lonely, but since Aqua-kun is energetic, that’s what matters most!]

 Looking at the chat, most people are sad about my break.

 I don’t know if it’s okay to say this, but it makes me happy to think that everyone wants to see me so much.

 I put on a gentle smile and speak to everyone through the mic.

 ”Everyone, I’m sorry. Since my break is from the end of July to the beginning of September, it’s like I’m taking a short break in January, right? But, to be honest, I still have some location shoots and such during that time, so it’s not like I’m completely taking a break.”

 Of course, I can’t cancel the scheduled filming and all, and that’s just how it is.

 Plus, for me personally, taking a complete break from work and coming back to it later is tough, so it’s better to have some work in between to keep my senses sharp.

 ”That’s why I’m making an announcement today! For all the fans who are feeling down because they won’t be able to meet me and the BERYL crew during the summer, don’t be sad! We’re going to have a blast at the summer events!!”

 I clap my hands to cheer up the fans watching.

 [Shumi the Maiden: Yessss!]

 [Thanks for the announcement!!]

 [I’ve been waiting for this!]

 [Is our summer break going to be busy too?!]

 [Can you do it in 3 lines, please, I just got out of the bath?!]

 [↑Don’t go to the bath at a crucial time!]

 [↑Your timing is always bad!]

 [Kirika Kotono/Admin: ↑Aqua-san’s last stream before summer break, and there’s going to be a ton of summer events, and today’s announcement is about that.]

 [You’re amazing, Nee-san!]

 [Nee-san is so kind!]

 Ah, everyone’s energy is back up!

 I check that the chat is moving quickly and click on the announcement image I had prepared ahead of time.

 ”Hey, first off, Beryl Wonderland is finally opening! The opening ceremony will have all 4 members of Beryl attending, and all the talents affiliated with Beryl will be making an appearance, so it’s gonna be a blast! Kanon… might not be able to make it to the opening ceremony or events, but she did wave at people from the hotel balcony during the pre-opening and opening days, so if you saw her, please wave back! Ah, this isn’t a regular thing, it’s just that some people happened to be there at the right time. Actually, I also participated in a secret event, sneaking onto the castle balcony and waving at people while dressed as a prince, so if you want to see it, bring binoculars or something.”

 There are also plans for the 4 members of Beryl to mingle with the staff and cast, and many secret events are being prepared.

 To be honest, we were going to announce the schedule for when the cast would appear, but I said I wanted to prioritize the live atmosphere, so it was suggested that we make the smaller events, except for the big ones like the fireworks parade, into secret events.

 It’s a shame that some people might show up hoping to meet someone specific and end up not meeting them… but there might also be unexpected new encounters, and I want all the fans to enjoy the live atmosphere at Beryl Wonderland.

 [Beryl Wonderland is finally hereeeee!]

 [Woohoo!]

 [This moment has finally arrived!]

 [I got all the tickets through a lottery, and that was a good thing. I wouldn’t have won if it was a first-come-first-served competition.]

 [↑Exactly!]

 [It’s unbelievable. The ticket system for Beryl Wonderland is still a complete mystery to me…]”

 [Kirika Kotono/Admin: ↑First, please apply for the tickets. For those who applied from June 1st to the last day, the first winning results will be announced on July 5th, and additional winning tickets will be sent to the registered email address at 5-day intervals from July 10th. After winning, please make the payment within a week. If we don’t receive the payment, we’ll unfortunately have to cancel it. The tickets are limited to one day, but for those staying at the park’s hotel, it will be a 2-day pass, including the check-in and check-out dates. If you want to stay at the hotel, please apply for the hotel ticket with a 2-day pass from the beginning. There are also collaboration tickets with various hotels and tour companies affiliated with this facility, so please check the official websites of each hotel and tour site.]

 [↑You’re amazing]

 [RamenHagetoru: As expected of you, Touemon. When someone is in trouble, it’s always Touemon to the rescue.]

 I was about to explain, but Kotono explained it faster than I could.

 Is it possible that she’s typing out the text? Or maybe she has a template ready?

 Or perhaps she has a bot that responds to specific words? That’s a very likely possibility.

 Just as I was thinking that, I got a comment saying it was handwritten. Wow, that’s incredible…

 I’m asking all of you listeners to take care of yourselves, especially during this hot season, and to take measures against heatstroke.

 ”Next, I’m sure many of you already know, but there’s the Heaven’s Sword movie premiere. We, BERYL, will also participate in the first-day event, so congratulations to those who won the tickets! We’ll be attending one location out of the 47 prefectures, but it’s a secret where exactly.”

 Or rather, I haven’t heard about it myself.

 I was thinking it might be in Shinjuku or somewhere, but that’s not it either, so I really have no idea where it’s going to be….

 I’m collecting the comments flowing in the chat box.

 ”Looking forward to it? Thanks. I’m also excited to meet everyone. Just one spot? Yeah, just one spot. But I heard they’re going to connect the live broadcast so that people who won the lottery on the first day can also see the stage greetings and stuff. Wait, spoilers for the movie? That’s impossible!! Ah, wait a minute, isn’t that Kohina-senpai commenting?! Don’t cause trouble, okay?”

 Kotono and Ako-san, I said we should ban that person, remember?

 ”Well, it’s not exactly a spoiler, but I actually knew about the Heaven’s Sword filming locations in Aichi and Mie. I was at the event, so maybe some people got lucky and saw the filming, but I actually have one more, which is that they also filmed in Shimane. That’s the extent of my spoilers.”

 I already discussed with Director Hongou how much I can reveal beforehand.

 Looking at the chat box, I see comments expressing surprise and excitement that the Heaven’s Sword filming took place in their hometown, as well as regret for not being able to see it.

 [Shumi the Maiden: …I see, I understand]

 [↑Tell me more about that!]

 [Why does Shumi understand? LOL]

 [What does Shumi think she understands?!]

 [RamenHagetoru: I see, I understand!! ←Actually, I have no idea]

 [Hagetoru is so funny LOL]

 [Sommelier: I see, I don’t get it!!]

 [↑That’s okay, that’s fine!]

 [You don’t need to think too hard, Somelier. Others will do it for you]

 [92-san: I see, so that’s what happened…]

 [↑So, why do you guys understand!!]

 [Is this TOP otaku?]

 [↑So, that’s what I knew]

 Huh!?

 Shumi the Maiden-san, what did you understand just now!?

 Am I the only one getting a little scared?

 I’ll try to calm down and continue the announcement.

 ”And, as part of the beryl&beryl project, which we did before, the 4 of us from BERYL will go on a trip during the summer break!! I don’t know anything about it, and I don’t know where we’re going either.”

 It’s fine to go somewhere new, but it’s also okay to go back to Osaka and Hyogo, which we went to before. Wherever we go, it’ll be really fun.

 Hopefully, this time we’ll get a car that’s high enough so Tenga-senpai’s head doesn’t hit the ceiling. Last time, the ceiling was too low, and Tenga-senpai, who’s over 190cm (≈ 6’3″) tall, kept hitting his head on the ceiling.

 [Yeah!]

 [Come to our place too!!]

 [Come back to Hokkaido!!]

 [Niigata is great too!!]

 [There are travel options in the Kanto region too, I think.]

 [Staff-san, what about Nagano?]

 [Aichi, let’s go!!]

 [Sayamu Inko: Let’s go back to Osaka again. I’ll be the guide this time.]

 [↑You’re still playing that otome game, aren’t you?]

 [Um, do you have any business in Tottori, next to Shimane?]

 [What about Okayama, the big city?]

 [Let’s go to Ehime and soak in the hot springs!!]

 [Fukuoka, how about it!?]

 [Menso-re, let’s go to Okinawa!!]

 Inko-san is still playing that crappy otome game….

 Come on, take pity on her and set her free.

 No one can clear that game, right? Is there someone who can do it? If there’s someone besides me, that’s just ridiculous.

 Huh? I think I heard Kanon sneezing from the living room….

 I’m in a soundproof room, so it must be my imagination.

 ”I think I’ve already said this, but I’m going to participate in Summer Comic Market. Look, I’ve got the event acceptance notification image right here. It’s not related to the company, but I’m doing it as a personal hobby. So, please don’t make a big fuss or cause any trouble. I don’t want to get scolded by the event staff. I mean, it’s okay if I get scolded, but I don’t want to cause trouble for the other circle members, volunteers, or the people who came to the event. The management who volunteered to do it, or everyone who came to the venue. This is a promise I made!”

 If it were Beryl’s work, there would be company staff, but this time it’s completely private, so that’s not possible. Even though they offered to help, I feel bad about it, so I asked Emily’s friends who are looking for part-time jobs to lend a hand.

 [Otome no Shumi: Yeah!]

 [RamenHagetoru: Don’t joke around, or you’ll get lectured by Nee-san, so behave yourself.]

 [↑Her persuasive power is amazing.]

 [Nee-san = Persuasive power]

 [If anything happens, I’ll just call Morikawa-san and have her crush it with her iron grip. It’s like a mischievous kid turning serious.]

 [↑That’s definitely a natural instinct.]

 [92-san: Everyone, let’s really behave and follow the rules, okay?]

 [↑Yeah…]

 I’ll continue to announce the other events.

 Finally, there’s something else I need to say…

 ”Ah, I remembered. That thing. So, apparently, our school’s KY-senpai, Kohina Yukari, is going to host a game tournament called the Shirogane Aqua Cup for the first time. Oh, and by the way, it’s an unofficial tournament.”

 But, I didn’t give permission!!

 [!?]

 [Shirogane Aqua himself is promoting the unofficial Shirogane Aqua Cup, what a mysterious setup!]

 [What does this mean? LOL]

 [For a moment, I was like “huh!? ” LOL]

 [I know this. She said she’d use Aqua-sama’s name without permission because no one would show up if it was called the Kohina Yukari Cup]

 [↑Haha, that’s so mean LMAO]

 [What is she planning to do?]

 [More like, I want to participate LOL]

 [She said this before on Kohina Yukari’s stream, but what’s she going to do?]

 [Ayana-chan and Mikuni-sama are also invited, Kohina Yukari said]

 [↑Seriously!?]

 [Kohina Yukari can do whatever, but I want to see Ayana-chan and Mikuni-sama’s stream!!]

 Ayana-chan and Mommy Mikuni are also invited.

 Hey, I’ll check who was invited later by watching the past stream’s video.

 Watching Kohina-senpai’s stream uses up my calories and gets me tired, ugh….

 ”Maybe I’ll do the live commentary for this, or maybe I won’t. The thing is, it’s still a mystery whether the broadcast will even happen! Seriously, I have no idea what’s going on. I heard that my wives are also invited, but I don’t know if they’ll actually appear. If they do, I’ll definitely cheer them on! So, before I take a break, I said this would be the last broadcast, but it looks like there’s one more left!! Wait, what? If the event gets delayed by 2 or 3 days, we might get an extra day or 2. Let’s try to avoid that, okay!!”

 I clapped my hands loudly towards the screen.

 [Yukari Goha: Don’t raise that flag, idiot]

 [↑LOLOL]

 [Flag]

 [Sommelier: Pikiin! I can feel the waves of excitement from Hogehoge!]

 [↑Hey, cut it out]

 [Hey, stop laughing > Sommelier]

 [Sommelier’s jokes are not just jokes, you know]

 [It’s all good, Aqua-kun can see it, so it’s all good!]

 [↑Yeah, that’s right!]

 [That’s right, it’s all benefits for us if it gets extended]

 [The only one who’ll get disadvantageis Aqua-kun, LOL]

 Hey, everyone, stop it!

 This is getting out of hand!!

 What if it turns out like the Last Survivor game tournament and goes on for a whole week!?

 What’ll happen to my sleep schedule then?!

 I decided in my heart to visit the shrine that’s rumored to have a powerful effect on Hogehoge tomorrow, with a forced smile on my face.
