Tokyo, Setagaya Ward.
Shimokawa Yōji and Hidaka Kōryō were spending the weekend together as high school boys.
The two were not only good friends and lived close by, but they also often hung out together to play.
Playing video games, reading manga, chatting about cute girls at school, or crazily pulling lottery-like cards—just a typical day for high school boys.
Lately, Shimokawa and Hidaka had also become fans of a new virtual YouTuber on YouTube, Miss Mary.
So, when the two played games and read manga together, they would occasionally tune in to Mary-chan's livestream as background noise.
Tonight, Mary-chan wasn't suffering through "Ring of Law" but playing "Two in Tandem" with a friend.
Compared to when she had first started, the popularity of her livestream had increased significantly.
In recent days, the number of live viewers had been stably over a thousand.
