"Haro! Just what the hell are you doing?!"
Haro slowly opened his eyes and saw Sayaka at the doorway of his room. She stood there with a furrowed brow.
Confused by why she was so angry Haro sat up a little bit and on his side found Sonya, the girl he had just met yesterday, wrapped around his torso.
"Mmmm, Masterrr.. It's too brighttt. Let's go back to sleeppyyyy.."
Haro flicks Sonya's forehead.
"Owieeeee."
***
Haro, Sonya and Sayaka were all grouped around the table. Sonya was playing with her rose cheeks and Sayaka was rolling a map of Japan out on the surface of the table.
On the map were multiple marks. There were skulls drawn in red, roads painted green and even some places that were completely blacked out.
"What is this?"
Sayaka looked up at Haro.
"It's a map I got from one of the scavengers in the apartment. Each day scavengers from around Shinjuku come together to make multiple maps of explored areas to make them as either safe or dangerous, I was thinking we could use this to plan our journey to the forgotten Kingdom."
Sonya stopped playing with her cheeks and looked at Sayaka. She did a thumbs up gesture and winked at Sayaka.
"Good job purple haired one!"
Sayaka just sighed.
I should probably take the path that is going to be the most exciting.. But I don't even know what some of these are..
Haro analyzed the map closely and saw words at different locations.
There were multiple places. The Death Dome, The Endless Pit, Orb Cave, Ground Zero and many many more areas. At the bottom of the map of Japan, there was a place called "The Long Bridge".
Haro pointed at the Long Bridge.
"So I'm guessing this is where we have to go to reach the Forgotten Kingdom, Right?"
Sonya jumped out of her chair.
"Spot on! The Long Bridge is a, well, long bridge, that connects Japan and the Forgotten Kingdom. All we gots to do is make our way through Japan and end up on it! Then it should be pretty tame as we walk across it over to the Forgotten Kingdom."
Sonya did a running man gesture with her hand (using fingers to simulate running), making it run from Japan to the Forgotten Bridge as she explained.
"Stream on!"
Almost instantly the viewer count went up to 12k.
Sayaka looked confused.
"Huh? Haro, what are you doing?"
Haro shrugged as he smirked.
"Well, instead of us planning the roadmap to "The Long Bridge", I thought it would be good if the viewers could plan it out!"
This way I can go on a journey that viewers will actually enjoy, it's a great way to boost my viewer count and subs!
Chat:
Viewer #6723 - "It's nice to see that you're in good health!"
Viewer #3256 - "Two hot ladies? Haro you sly dog."
Viewer #11853 - "The purple haired one is lacking in a... Uhhh... Certain department..."
Viewer #8365 - "W JOURNEY TO THE LONG BRIDGE!!"
Sayaka blushed a little, clearly embarrassed since she was right in the middle of the stream.
"Well, yes... Haro said it best I suppose.. We are on a journey to the Long Bridge, with our starting point being Shinjuku.."
Sayaka played around with her fingers as she looked down.
"Yep yep! Her name is the purple hair chick! And of course you all remember me from last stream, my name is Sonya! Since I've soul bound with Haro, some of the gods might know me. Hello gods!"
Chat:
Viewer #2143 - "Not this lady.."
Viewer #5453 - "I see your mother has not kept you in check."
It still feels kind of weird now that gods can watch the stream..
"Also Haro! An important detail I forgot to mention!"
Haro turned to Sonya with a confused look.
"Huh? What is it?"
Sonya rocked back and forth in her chair.
"Welll, now that god's can watch you, naturally you will now be offered contracts of power!"
"Contracts of power?"
"Yeah! Basically, god's will watch your sream and if you are lucky you will get a contract of power! This will allow you to channel their power through your mortal body!"
Haro grabbed his chin and started thinking.
Well, if that is so, then..
"Can't YOU just offer me a contract?"
Sonya froze. She had a face of shame and she began looking to the side as if to hide the look of shame from Haro.
"You see the thing is.. I'm not technically a god.. So I can't bestow a contract of power to you..."
five seconds past then out of nowhere she ran up to Haro and wrapped her arms around his waist. Haro looked down to see her staring up at him with her beautiful starry eyes.
"Butttt What I CAN do is I can use my power separately! It's just as good as a contract of power!"
Sonya smiled after saying that.
This girl is a roller coaster of emotions..
Haro looked down at the map, making sure the stream could see it.
"Alright, you guys got a good look of the map? Make a plan of what paths you want us to take. Start poll."
Stream:
Starting Map Poll.
As the poll played multiple places and paths were being selected.
How the polling system works for streams is the map gets cut up into how big it is, in Japan's case that's four. In each section there will be two or more choices to pick, of course the one with the most votes will be selected. Then it will move onto the next section where they will vote for another path. After the polling is completed the path will be set out and that will be the path you follow.
Stream:
Map Poll Finish.
Path - "8 Legged Hell", "Ground Zero", "Orb Hideout" and "Lake of potions".
I don't like the sound of that orb one.. Gives me ptsd..
Sonya started walking to the door while pulling Haro by the wrist.
"W-wait!"
Haro looked back, Sayaka had called out to him.
"Can I talk to Haro.. Alone please..?
Sonya sighed.
"Yeah Yeah just hurry up so me and him can blow this popsicle!"
With that Sonya walked out. Sayaka and Haro were now alone (if you don't include chat), staring into each other's eyes.
"I-" "I-"
They had both started speaking at the same time. Sayaka turned away and scratched the back of her neck.
"If it's alright with you Haro, I'd like to come with.
"Oh, really? Why would you want to do that?"
Sayaka walked closer and grabbed his hand. She held it in her palm and user her other hand she made circles around the star symbol now engraved onto him.
"To put it frankly, I don't think this journey is going to be safe. We have no idea of what the Forgotten Kingdom is going to be like so I want to be there to watch out for you."
"Sayaka..."
Sayaka blushed slightly and let go of his hand.
"And most importantly I don't trust Sonya to be alone with you right now. Based on what she has said about herself, you being alone with her is probably a worse idea."
She isn't wrong, Sonya herself said she was half monster..
"You can come Sonya, I want you to be by my side when I shine of course."
Sayaka gasped a little but not enough for Haro to hear.
"A-Anyway, we should probably get going.."
Sayaka walked out quickly, her face was red hot but luckily Haro did not see that.
Haro followed slowly behind her and walking out he saw Sonya on a a yellow shining horse that has a blue ring above it's head as if to seem like a halo. There were two more horses behind her.
They must be for us.
"Come onn Masterrrrr!!! Let's get this show on the road!!"
Haro gritted his teeth.
"I told you not to call me that!"
