18 The calm before the storm (short chapter)

POV:?

Scrolling through the net, I feel so bored. I specifically did my homework earlier. So I wouldn't be late on the live stream of my oshi(idol). But it was suddenly canceled.

Now without the daily dose of my cute power energy. I don't ever have the motivation, for playing a new visual novel I bought yesterday.

'Life is such a meaningless thing.' I thought a little depressed.

I know that it's too late for me. I am too deep into the rabbit hole.

Wandering through the deep waters of the internet. I suddenly entered LiveTub. I know that it's still basically offline because it starts only the next weekend.

However other than the obvious lack of live streams and videos. Everything seems to look fine. You can even create an account.

Actually, I don't understand why so many people are hyped about this upcoming streaming platform. Currently, there exist 2 major streaming/video media.

So even though at first it could bring a lot of people. Because the conditions for content creators are good here. In the end, people are just too used to the older video-sharing services.

A lot of people tried it but in the end, it was impossible to beat these giants.

I was just to leave a site. When unexpectedly on the main page showed itself a new live stream.

Noticing an anime girl on the thumbnail. My otaku soul( a fan of anime/manga) showed itself as I clicked on the video.

The first thing that I saw was a pair of red eyes seemingly with the ability to see me behind a screen.

Looking at the chat that was going wild. Most people were confused like me. But the other half was already simping...

Most of her face was obscured because of the hood she was wearing. With long white hair, that seems to fall in front of her chest.

But her gaze alone was enough to make me blush a little.

Then she started to play with a guitar in her hands. At first, it was slow with gentle humming as if she lacked the confidence to do it.

When she started playing all of a sudden chat stopped moving so fast. It was a sad melody making my eyes weepy. I guess I wasn't the only one because chat was already spamming cry emojis.

Closing her eyes it seems like she got her confidence back and played it, lauder, as if screaming her emotions out.

...And that was it, I tear up a little. I am such a soft guy.

Her playing was so smooth. With her body language, it was even better.

At the end, it became a little more cheerful. It was easy to spot that she put her entire heart into it.

"It's going to be okay " I could hear her softly mumbling something but I didn't understand the language. But her speaking seems to activate a chat again.

[Chat]

KnightThief:Is this a new trailer for the anime?

Krocca: Someone knows who is singing this?

Millia:I am crying...

Still_Single69: Waifu acquired

When she finished playing a song. She took a deep breath and looked at the camera again. But this time she smiled...yes she smiled.

Like the arrow, it pierced my heart and I wouldn't admit it to anyone. But I guess, I have fallen for animation.
