Guys, I can definitely, totally, realistically explain why I was gone for almost a year.... I did a Skill Issue.
Look, I don't even know how this story has amassed over 10K reads. This is literally my most read thing ever. I cringe thinking about this book but for some reason I want to continue writing it.
So basically, thank you for reading it. It makes me happy to know my cringe writing is enjoyable to fellow Hololive lovers.... I think.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter. Also, it was all real. Rei is the EN Gen 3.
===================================
Slowly opening his eyes from his sleep and hearing the sounds of rain smacking against the window, Rei couldn't help but let out a sigh as he got up from his bed.
If there was a particular type of weather that Rei hated then it would definitely have to be rain. It started from back when he was still a human. Spending time in a rather dimly lit hospital room all alone with only the sounds of rain and the sounds of hospital equipment really got to him at that time.
So if there was ever a rainy day, he would classify it as a bad day, one that just put him in a gloomy mood.
"Thank god it's my day off." Letting out a small yawn, he took a quick glance at the alarm clock on his desk which read 8:50 AM. "I really rather go back to sleep-"
*Tu ruru Tu!*
Rei paused, hearing his notification ringtone sound within his room. Reaching for his phone, he looked at the screen, his brow raising in mild surprise.
Wanna hang out? - Mori
He took a moment to read over the message again. It's not like the two of them haven't hung out before. It's just that it's usually because all of Myth wanted to go somewhere.
"But did it really have to be today..." He took another glance outside his window, watching the rain heavily fall down. He could feel a frown start to form on his face just from seeing it. After taking a few more minutes to decide, he eventually decided to agree.
What do you have in mind? - Rei
There's a nice cafe a few minutes away from here. Have some coffee and chat maybe? - Mori
How does 9:10 sound to you? - Mori
Sure. - Rei
===============================
"Hey."
"Sup."
With the two of them exchanging their regular greetings, the two of them entered the cafe, settling for a spot near the corner.
As the two of them sat across from each other, Mori was the first to speak.
"So, are you getting into the whole vtuber thing? I know I'm a bit late to ask but... Better than never I guess."
"Well it's certainly been exciting." Rei let out a small sigh. It was quite surprising that he'd already been streaming for over 5 months now... It's barely felt like 3 months. "Apart from some minor problems it's been relatively fine. I'm even planning on doing a cover soon."
The two of them continued idle chit-chat until eventually ordering their coffee. As they sat back down, Mori had suddenly asked him a question.
"Sooo, I've been curious for a while but... What exactly is your underworld like?" Taking a sip from her tea, Mori stared into Rei's eyes with curiosity. "Is there any like revolutionary thing in there?"
Rei took a moment to think about it. "Well, I've visited different underworlds, and it's not like they're any different from mine. Apart from different styles of buildings or choices of the rules, I'd say it's pretty ordinary." Although, his unprompted visits weren't exactly taken kindly...
"That's right, you're apprenticing under the Grim Reaper, right? What would you say their personality is like?"
At the sudden mention of the Grim Reaper, Mori's eyes suddenly looked exhausted, her head tilting towards the side. "No comment." He swore he could've saw her body shiver but decided to not question it as she suddenly spoke again. "But what about yours. What was... He like?"
"Mine? Well... He was very stern. But, he had a soft and kind side to him, one he didn't show much." A faint happy look appeared in Rei's eyes as he had to stop himself from rambling on as he quickly shook his head. "He was a pretty neat guy..."
"I see..." Mori took another sip of her tea, an almost awkward silence filling the air around them.
"A-Ahem... Anyways, I have some errands I need to run." Standing up from his chair, reaching into his pocket, he quickly pulled out his wallet. "I'll pay for my drink."
"Huh? I can pay for it. I'm the one who invited you out after all." Mori also stood up, reaching her hand out to stop Rei from pulling any money out.
"It's fine, it's not that much money anyways-"
"Are you saying I can't afford it then?" Mori cut him off, the two of them staring each other in the eyes. It lasted for around 5 seconds before Rei broke out into a chuckle, Mori following shortly after.
"Have a good day, Mori." Rei said as he placed some money on the table which she begrudgingly accepted.
"You too, Rei."
=====================================
"Okay, girls... Hear me out... Road trip!"
"Road trip?"
"Road trip?"
"Schmoad trip?"
"That... sounds like a terrible idea. Also, she said road trip, Mumei."
"Oh..."
"What do you mean it sounds like a bad idea?! You truly don't know the meaning of fun, Kronii! Fauna! Back me up on this one!"
"Well... It would be nice to see some new places... What do you think, Sana?"
"It sounds wonderful!"
"HA! See! It's four against one, Kronii!"
"But Mumei didn't agree-"
"WHO CARES! ROAD TRIP!"
"but-"
"ROAD TRIP!"
"I really think you should-"
"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD TRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP!!!!!!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Fine."
"Perfect! Mumei, go fetch the van!"
"We have a van?"
"We have a van?"
"How did we get a van-"
"TOO MANY QUESTIONS!"
(Boop)
...OH MY GOD. GUYS, I DID IT, I RELEASED A CHAPTER!!!! I finally let my brain cook and updated this story. While it isn't exactly much, I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless... And to think my inspiration for writing came from smut... BUT WHATEVER!
Now to see if I can upload again at a reasonable time instead of over a year later I'm pretty sure.
Anyways. BAIIIIII
