A Legendary Omen

The next day, I woke up at ten in the morning.

Its Saturday, so school is out.

I get up and look at the responses on social media on my phone.

Oh, that looks good, huh?

Apparently, yesterdays live broadcast had been well received.

Then, I launch the app for the video streaming service.

This guy works fast. .

I searched for my name and found a number of clips of me.

They were posted under titles such as Takamori God Play Collection and Kill Collection.

Clipped videos are one type of content that has recently become popular.

They are videos that have been live-delivered for a long time, or videos that are very long when viewed as a whole, and then a third party cuts out parts of the video, edits it, and reposts it.

For example, it is difficult to watch a live broadcast that exceeds two hours, but the clippings have become popular because they allow the viewer to enjoy only the best scenes and important parts of the video.

Some people have a negative opinion about people making clipped videos, but I allow them to do so.

If they start making money from them, it is a problem, but if they are not monetized, it is more likely to be a positive thing.

As proof of this, some of the clipping videos have received over a million views with room to spare.

After the clipped videos were circulated, the number of subscribers and followers on social networking sites increased dramatically.

I have this person, Asuna-san, to thank for that.

Asuna-san has been doing my clippings since the beginning, and whenever I do a live distribution, they always make a collection of great scenes right away.

They are also the one who gets the most views.

I have never met them or heard their voice, so I have no idea what kind of person they are, but I know they are a fan of mine.

They always edit their videos in a way that shows their respect for the original videos.

Among other fans, Asuna-sans clippings are reputed to be the easiest to see.

Now, after eating dinner, I think Ill go practice my game.

As I was about to get up from the gaming chair I was sitting in, my phone shook.

I looked at the screen and saw that the name Yukino Shirase was displayed.

Its Yukino Shirase, the manager of my office.

It was unusual for her to call me directly.

Yes, this is Takamori.

Im sorry for calling so suddenly. This is Shirase. Takamori-san, is this a good time?

Yes, Im fine.

Shirase-san entered my office as a new graduate.

She took over my case from her predecessor, Asai-san.

Her predecessor was excellent, but Shirase-san is also an excellent manager.

She is only in her second year, but she does such a good job that I dont feel that way.

She is also very popular within the company because of her beauty.

I would like to confirm something with you, Takamori-san, do you know Rio Natsume?

A name I had only recently heard came out of Shirase-sans mouth.

Yes, I know her. Shes the one whos been appearing in various media lately as a beautiful girl pro-gamer, right?

Yes, thats right. That Rio-san asked Takamori-san to collaborate.

Oh, with me?

Yes, she wants to collaborate with Takamori-san.

No way, I dont know what happened in my life that contact points came around so quickly.

Will you take it? Is it enough to have a discussion about?

Yes, I think so. I wanted to play a game with her once too.

Well, well proceed in the direction of collaboration here. Also, I have one more thing Id like to discuss with you about the clippings, can you come to my office?

Yes, thats fine. Tomorrow is Sunday, so can I come the evening after tomorrow?

More often than not, the office is not even open on Sundays.

If it is a weekday, it would be after school.

Ill be waiting for you at the office.

Thus I ended the call with Shirase-san.

Collaborating with Rio Natsume, thats something to look forward to.

I had no idea at the time that this would be an event that would have a major impact on my life.
