The Dawn Rises

Finally, the preliminary round of the Japan Tournament began.

 

Half of the players will be eliminated in this preliminary round.

 

“Let’s begin the preliminary round of the Pro-hopple Japan Tournament!　I, Aya Hiyama, will be in charge of the live commentary. Commentary will be provided by Hana Tachibana-san, the head of development for Pro-Hopple”.

 

“My name is Hana Tachibana, and it’s nice to meet you.”

 

Tachibana-san is also the leader of the development project for the new smartphone game.

 

However, she was originally an early member of the Pro-hopple development team and was in the position of development manager.

 

“As I thought, the most notable players in this tournament are the pair of Rio and takamori, aren’t they?”

 

“Yes, that’s right. The fact that they are the pair that won the World and Japan tournaments raises expectations, and their recent success in live streaming is remarkable.”

 

Rio and I do a weekly live broadcast.

 

We play a variety of games as well as prohopr, but our channel subscriptions and concurrent connections are exploding, partly because we are showing our faces.

 

Rio’s channel has over 900,000 subscribers and my channel has finally reached the one million subscribers mark.

 

Still, I don’t think they can let their guard down either. All of the people here are fierce competitors who have won the national qualifying rounds.

 

“Is there anyone else you are interested in, Tachibana-san?”

 

“Personally, I am looking at the Kisaragi siblings.”

 

The Kisaragi siblings are a group of prodigious professional gamers who have been in the game world for several years.

 

The particular characteristics of the siblings make them unbeatable in terms of their ability to work together.

 

They have individual abilities that are unique to each other, and they are able to work well together.

 

“Ah, you mean those beautiful brother and sister gamers?”

 

“That’s right. They have never appeared in an official tournament before, but I think they might be a big obstacle for takamori’s team this time because they are going to participate.”

 

Saying this, the corners of Tachibana-san’s mouth turned up.

 

Looking at the expression on her face, I felt that Tachibana-san truly loves the game and Pro-hopple.

 

It is wonderful as a developer to have love for the games you have created.

 

I feel that Lugh is attracting good people.

 

♢

 

I exhale heavily.

 

The venue is abuzz with conversation between Tachibana-san and Anna Hiyama.

 

The live broadcast showing the venue also had a ridiculous 90,000 simultaneous connections.

 

Since the event has only just begun, the number is sure to grow from here.

“Are you nervous?”

 

“Yes, I am.”

 

“Me too.”

 

Rio’s hand seemed to be shaking a little.

 

I held her trembling hand.

 

“Heh?”

 

Rio looks surprised and her face is red.

 

“Don’t worry. Let’s have fun together.”

 

“I’ll have fun with you. I’m sure you will be able to fight with many strong people today.”

 

Rio’s hands stopped shaking as she said that.

 

“It’s our turn.”

 

Our turn came last, and we entered the hall.

 

The audience cheered in yellow.

 

“Ryo wave to them.”

 

Rio whispered to me.

 

Rio was already smiling and waving to the audience and the camera.

 

The tension she had been feeling earlier seemed to be a lie.

 

“You’re used to it, aren’t you, Rio?”

 

Saying so, I also wave my hand fearfully.

 

“”Kyaaaaaaaa!””

 

It’s a great cheer.

 

The comment section is flowing so fast that I can’t follow it with my eyes.

 

“Well, let’s do our best.”

 

Rio and I sat down next to each other.

 

A high-spec PC is placed in front of us.

 

It seems that the sponsor company prepared it for this tournament.

 

“Yes, as usual.”

 

“Oh, yes, I will.”

 

The corners of my mouth naturally turned up.

 

The atmosphere of this tournament seemed to have won me over.
