21:49：Natsunami Yui You okay?
─────2018, June 4th─────
19:49：Kuroneko San Please help
19:49：Natsunami Yui Don’t wanna
19:53：Kuroneko San I have no one else to go to except you
19:54：Natsunami Yui Eeeeh, what should I do? You treated me like a lewd woman on stream
19:54：Kuroneko San Sorry lo siento
19:55：Natsunami Yui Then please call me Yui from now on
19:58：Kuroneko San Eh
19:59：Natsunami Yui You call me with my full name Natsunami Yui, right? We’re gen mates so you can call me with just Yui.
20:12：Kuroneko San I, I can’t.
20:12：Natsunami Yui But you’re fine with Matsuri-senpai?
20:18：Kuroneko San Guu…
20:20：Kuroneko San But I attach senpai to her name and I was a fan before…
20:21：Kuroneko San It’s like calling Kimutaku Kimutaku…
20:21：Natsunami Yui Then good luck on your own
21:01：Kuroneko San Ah ah ah, yu, Yui…-san
21:01：Natsunami Yui Y u i
21:22：Kuroneko San Gu, gugugu……
─────2018, June 5th─────
00:12：Kuroneko San Yui
00:12：Natsunami Yui Nn, leave it to me
In the end, the one I relied on is the only person I have a relationship with, Natsunami Yui.
Rather than facing the off-collab alone, I judged that I would have an easier time if I borrowed someone’s power.
I also spent one hour constantly worrying over it before I typed the first text message. I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was pounding non-stop.
A youkya event like an off-collab should be limited to youkya’s only.
She said that I should gather even a little bit of EXP for my interpersonal skills before the off-collab and went to set up a collab with my gen mate.
A collab is nothing but hell, but for the sake of lowering the difficulty of the off-collab, I have no choice but to make myself one with the hell.
Besides, even though I have no idea who the collab partner is, that youkya Natsunami Yui said 「It’s a perfect partner that even San can talk to」and gave her stamp of approval so I’m sure it’ll work out.
I know that at times like these, youkya’s have a monster-like reliableness.
That incident happened and now it’s night.
The stream is on Natsunami Yui’s channel.
Getting in a call with a complete stranger alone is nerve-wracking so her being the intermediary between us is a blessing.
But if it’s the three of us, the possibility of me fading out without ever joining in the conversation until the end is high.

：Guerilla collab fr?
：2nd episode of the Kuroneko-san series
：I wonder who the secret guest is
：Yui, you can do it（old man with his arms folded in the back）
：The one’s who’s actually holding the second gen together is Yui-taso
「Konyui–!」
：Konyui–
：Konyui–
「Yes! Since San surprisingly came crying and begging for help yesterday, today, we will be holding a training arc!」
：Crying and begging
：San!?
：Ah!
：You’re also being TeeTee in places we can’t see!
：My cerebrum is filling in the gaps…
「Now for today’s first guest, Kuroneko San」
「Ko, konbannya……」
Uu, although it’s my second collab, nerve-wracking things are nerve-wracking.
But a woman like me who learns from her mistakes decided to join the call an hour before the stream in order to relieve some tension and ready myself for the challenge.
Probably because of that, I was able to do the greeting immediately compared to last time when it took me several minutes.
My communication power is rising!
「You were able to properly say a greeting, good girl! You got into the call beforehand this time. How was it, are you less nervous than before?」
「U, un」
：Good girl!
：Kuroneko-san is also growing
：Praise her and make her grow
：Yui mama?
The chat flooded with comments praising me.
For me who was unaccustomed to praise, I unconsciously grinned and let out a creepy voice.
Go on, say it!
Spoil me more!
「Then let’s call on the other guest right away. The one hired to be San’s training partner! A weirdo even amongst the second gen! Someone who has collabed with zero people! Arutema’s seasonal individual, Gaou Kamitachi-san」
!?
「Wait little girl, what’s with that introduction?」
：Gaou Kamitachi!?
：This is bad!
：Of all people, Gaou-kun is the training partner!?
Awawa, I’m freaking out.
I haven’t had a single clue about my collab partner until now.
But I said last time that I’d be fine if the collab partner was Towa Otoha so I thought for sure he would be here.
But when I tried to look inside the box, it was Gaou Kamitachi!
You can tell he's a nutcase from his name!!
What was that about the perfect partner!?
「Come on San, greet him」
「Ah, a a ah」
「Funn. I came because you said you wanted to collab, to think I’m the little kitten’s partner」
「S, sorry」
：Don’t apologize
：Unsubscribed from Gaou’s channel
：Haa〜he’s useless
「Why should I have to take these insults!? Stop crying little kitten! Do you want to be burned by my crimson flames!?」
「Co, collab homicide……」
「You bastard, you’re just acting aren’t you!?」
Gaou Kamitachi.
Using ware as his first pronoun, he’s a weirdo who takes an arrogant attitude towards anyone and everyone.
He’s a freak who often says things like crimson flames or jet black lightning and has the specialty of scorching (blocking) anti’s who come to his stream with his crimson flames.
Having someone who’s stuck in his own world be my communication power training partner, isn’t the hurdle too high??
「I, I’m Kuroneko San……My hobby is reading, I have no special skills……」
「Call me Gaou Kamitachi. I shall make an exception and be your partner today, you bastard」
「Un un. You two need to work on your greetings first」
「This esteemed me as well!?」
：Obviously
：It’s better to correct Gaou instead
「Well, today’s objective is to get used to conversations so let’s leave the small problems aside and discuss it off stream later. Let’s start right away with chatting, I mean, reading marshmallows」
Uu, looks like today’s call will also take a while.
Doing this two days in a row is exhausting for my body.
「Not only will we be reading marshmallows given before the stream, but also those coming in real time so keep ‘em coming. Now, the first one」
【Marshmallow】
Konyui–.
I’m looking forward to the second episode of your collabs with Kuroneko-san.
Have your impressions of each other changed after the first collab?
If you can, please tell me.
「Right off the bat, a topic that’s hard for me to participate in」
「Ahaha, it’s because I didn’t say that Gaou-kun was coming. Feel free to retort」
「Are you disrespecting me, you bastard!?」
Hmm, impression of her.
I didn’t have the leeway to watch her first stream so a question asking about changes in impression is a delicate subject.
In spite of that, we frequently chat off stream by texting and yesterday, and she also did me a huge favor by managing the situation until it was late at night.
So for my impression……,
「Mama……」
：Ma!?
：Mama!?
：Official JK youkya mama
：YuimamaKuroneko TeeTee
「What are you saying!? Seriously, what the heck are you saying!?」
「E, ah」
I accidentally said what came to my mind again.
Even though Natsunami Yui warned me yesterday that I should fix that habit for good.
「Cause, her kindness……is amazing」
「That’s because I’m worried about San, aAAh, forget it!」
「Yui mama……」
「Hey, can I go home?」
：Go home Gaou
：Gaou change yourself
：Erase your presence and watch over them, Gaou
：Aren’t you ashamed to be caught in between the yuri, Gaou?
「Alright! Let’s move onto the next one!!!」
【Marshmallow】
Konbannya–.
Allow me to throw in a topic since it’s Kuroneko-san’s training arc!
Please talk about what makes you glad you joined Arutema!
「Uuun, it’s probably the fact that I’ve made a lot of friends. I talk to San and Ries off stream. And I also think of the viewers as my friends」
「For me, my world has expanded. Of course, I’ve traveled to every country in every age but the virtual world is a first even for me. I think it’s fun……it’s peaceful and there are no threats here」
：Yep, reeks of character settings
：Cringe
「I’m……」
What are the things that make me glad I joined?
It’s fine to join for wanting to be spoiled but I’m getting bullied everyday by my viewers and just the mention of a collab makes my heart nearly stop.
Honestly, there aren’t that many good things.
Well, if I had to say……,
「Having fun everyday, I think」
Even now, I barely talk in real life.
But here, there are both the viewers and Natsunami Yui.
Un, it’s a daily life I never would’ve imagined before.
：I cried
：I’ll acknowledge her as Yuimama for you
：Today is the final episode
：It’s only been 10 minutes
「Fuu, you’ve grown little kitten」
「No, who are you?」
：草
：Don’t ignore your own problems
：#Growupgaou
「Okay! Next–!」
【Marshmallow】
The crimson flames shall devour you!
Gaou-san collabing with girls must be a mistake so could you please stop that?
「What’s this」
「It’s my stream’s opening greeting」
：Btw, the ending line is「The jet black lightning shall consume you」
：Is Arutema filled with only weirdos?
「The crimson flames shall devour you nya」
：She’s turning it into a complete joke
：That’s her laugh when she trolls
No, I know I shouldn’t laugh but even so!
Having to say「Nya」is somewhat simple but even then, I don’t have to endure such a shameful greeting!
First time viewers would be at a complete loss hearing that.
「Gaou-kun is a lady killer, isn’t he?」
「They’re probably not talking to us, but to Gaou Kamitachi-san……」
「Eh!?」
：Don’t make it worse
：Kuroneko-san can’t survive unless she stays as a loner so please stop it with the collabs
：Even if Kuroneko-san does collab, she’s still a loner
「Let’s have the viewers smother Gaou-kun in crimson flames later and move on」
【Marshmallow】
Kamitachi-kun, between Yui-chan and Kuroneko-san, who do you like more?
「Nu」
「Sexual harassment」
「I haven’t said anything yet!?」
「So, your honest answer?」
「……Natsunami Yui」
At this time, only the drawing of the collab host can move.
But if this was Live 2D, I feel like Gaou’s eyes would be looking at Natsunami Yui’s chest.
「But I told you I’m boing boing! I have this nice body under these clothes!」
「Eei! You’re being noisy as hell, little kitten!」
：草
：草
：He’s a guy after all
：Cause it’s Yui mama
：Yuimama（clump of motherliness）
I can’t winnn!
When the time comes that I get a new outfit, I’ll have them give me boobs and show the viewers and Gaou how wrong they are!!
「Take it easy, you two. It’s about time to close so let’s end the discussion」
「Tch, damn this big-boobed bitch……」
「Ah?」
Hiee!
：Aaahhh
：You crossed the line
：Clipped
：End of TeeTee
「Umu. Well, a lot of things happened but it wasn’t bad. I’ll also be more proactive in collabing from now on」
「You have zero people to collab with though」
「SHUT UP!!」
Saying only those two words, Gaou Kamitachi left the call.
Even though he had a stream afterwards, he stayed until the last second.
He likely only heard about it today but he still came to the collab. Although he talks like that, he seems like a kind guy at heart
「So, how did it go, San? You seem more relaxed than before」
「S, so so. It’s my second time, and I also talked to you yesterday and right before the collab」
「I see, good for you」
：Mama…
：I’ll acknowledge her as mama so stop
「Alright!! Then we’ll end it here! Gaou-kun has a collab right after this and San has an off-collab on the weekend with Matsuri-senpai! If you enjoyed, please subscribe, like, and follow me on Twitter! Bye bye!」
「Bye nyaaa」
：Bye bye
：Bye nyaaa
：The jet black lightning shall consume you!
：Thanks for YuimamaKuroneko TeeTee
：Here goes my one-liner. Gaou is angry, gaouuu1

Formats, titles, and summary has been changed. The only thing really added was line 「It’s still, not enough…」at the end of chapter 6.
