1:55:24 - Wants to do Elden Ring Coop and PVP With The Other Holos Playing On Steam
She starts off by saying that she was actually thinking of playing Elden Ring today but because everyone is streaming it she decided to play a different game although she'll still play it soon. She'd like to do coop and PVP with the other people playing on Steam although it seems like you can't PVP if your level difference is too high. PVP seems fun, doing coop and defeating something together seems fun too but 1v1 or 2v2 team battles seem like they'd be fun to do. She isn't sure what everyone is playing on though. Someone lets her know that the level for PVP is generally 150, which makes her ask if that means the game will force you to level 150 if you aren't there yet. Another person tells her that Noel and Flare are on PC which she's happy to hear but she's worried they'd collude against her. Someone corrects her understanding on the level 150 thing, telling her that that's where everyone levels to, so they'd have to level there themselves. She reads a comment expressing their surprise that Holos are playing Elden Ring despite not being able to receive superchats. She's thankful for superchats and they're important for them but the game is simply fun so they'll play it. It's fun, even playing it normally is fun but since everyone is doing it she thinks holding team battles in PVP would be fun as well. Since she doesn't know what everyone is playing on right now it's just an idea in her head of something she'd like to do, thinking how nice it'd be. Maybe she'll ask them, like as a project recruitment, asking who is on Steam and who is on Playstation while it's still popular and asking if they'd be ok with fighting. It'd be good if From made it so Steam and Playstation could play together but it seems difficult to do that. Someone tells her that PVP is 3v1, so she can't do teams. She asks if she couldn't do something like having someone join a host through coop and then use a password to bring two invaders in. The chat tells her she can't, only one person can invade. If it's just 1v1 then it'd be hard to do. She also gets informed that on top of that, anyone is able to invade, there's no way to limit it, which scares her. A few people suggest doing a tournament but she's worried that if there are level differences it'd be rough, whoever is higher would likely win so it's hard because of that but if it's after everyone has finished the game, then she could ask them to all level to a certain point. They could do it like that but right now everyone is still working through the game, Pekora included. So even if she does do it, it might be after people finish the game. Someone asks about battling with viewers but she refuses, she already knows they'll beat her up. She knows they'll come with strong weapons specifically to beat her up, like Rivers of Blood. She'd be fighting with her Blood Scythe. She'll get scared if the Rivers of Blood army comes. Someone asks if she means she'd be using cheese kamaboko* and she says no, in Elden Ring she has a scythe, the super strong Death Scythe, and that's her chiikama, whose name is based on chiikawa.

* The name of Pekora's scythe has been a bit of a running joke from her ER streams. Rivers of Blood is usually just called chiikawa by JP players based on the 血河 (chi + kawa, blood + river) in it's name. Pekora has been using a scythe with a bleed effect and occasionally been calling it チーカマ, chiikama, after a viewer suggested it. Chiikama is the name of a snack, cheese kamaboko, but it also sounds like 血鎌 (chi + kama, blood + scythe), hence why it was suggested. (Sorry for swapping between EN and JP names in the summary, I wasn't really sure how else to word this such that it was recognizable what weapons she was talking about while also keeping the chiikama chiikawa bit.)

2:05:18 - Her Dance Teacher Is Kind and Has Gotten Her to Talk More
After talking about the weather a bit and saying she didn't think it was cold during her dance lessons today, someone asks if she was at dance lessons with anyone. She wasn't, it was her private, once a week, dance lessons. They're fun, and her teacher is nice, she praises Pekora a lot which Pekora feels helps her grow. Pekora says she often has a hunched back and was told if they can fix that she'd be able to look even better so they've been working on fixing it. Her teacher told her about a pole she can use to stretch, so she she's going to buy that and use it to soften her back up since she was told that if your back is stiff then your movements become stiff too. Someone asks if she's talking about a stretch pole and she thinks that's might be what it was. Up until a while ago her manager would come with her but recently it's just been 1:1. It made her anxious when she started doing it 1:1 but she was also anxious when her manager was there. Her teacher is also good at talking, bringing up a story about cream bread she told at the beginning of the stream that made her laugh, which was about her teacher saying she hadn't been able to get some popular cream bread from Family Mart, which was something Pekora had recently eaten after her Mom had bought it for her. She reads a comment simply asking "woman?" Of course she is. She asks if they were worried about that, like "it's a woman... it's not a man... right?" She's super cute and petite. Pekora wonders how to describe her impression of her teacher, she's really petite... then Pekora catches herself and realizes this is private information and stops for a bit. She's very petite and brisk and also skilled at talking. Like she's able to get you to talk about yourself. Pekora used to not be able to talk much about herself, like what she did that day or what she's been into recently. But recently she's been trying to talk more, like about what she's been into recently, hence the cream bread story from earlier. They'll talk about things like that during preparation, her teacher will ask her things like "Oh do you know the Family Mart bread?" which leads to Pekora saying "OH I had X recently." There's been a lot of talk like that, it's a good relationship, it makes her want to practice all the time. Originally she only had one lesson every two weeks but that relationship led to Pekora asking to have them once a week if it was ok with the teacher. Also, her teacher told her that when she's riding a certain train she's always listening to Iiwake Bunny, so she praises Pekora a lot, including about her songs. Someone asks how long the lessons are and she says they're about 2 hours. She gets asked if her teacher is a nousagi, she isn't necessarily a nousagi but when Pekora has 3D Lives her teacher watches them. It does seem like she watches other Hololive members too sometimes since she teaches them as well and she'll occasionally tell Pekora when she met with another member. Someone asks if her teacher doesn't get nervous teaching Pekora, Pekora laughs and wonders what they mean, she teaches a lot of people so of course not.

2:12:06 - Mimi-chan Is Feeling Better, Mostly
Brief background for people who don't watch her since the last few streams where she talked about this weren't summarized: A few days ago Mimi-chan got spayed and stayed at the vets over night. During this time Pekora was lonely and even stayed up all night after streaming so she could pick her up early in the morning. The vets told her that they were a little worried because Mimi hadn't eaten anything besides some churu and just stayed in her cage sitting in her poop, which annoyed Pekora since it sounds like they didn't do anything about that, but they told Pekora to give Mimi a few days to feel better. The next day Pekora did a short stream and spent the time after watching over Mimi while rewatching Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2. Mimi did eat a little bit of Goro's food but she still didn't show her usual gluttony and based on how she was moving it seemed like she was in a bit of pain from the surgery.

Someone asks if Mimi has gotten better and she says that's right, she wanted to talk about this. Mimi has gotten better! Up until before the surgery, any time Pekora would make noise by tapping on Mimi's dish she'd come sprinting to Pekora for food but after they brought her home from the vet she wouldn't respond to it at all. Now she's gone back to running. She is a bit worried though because Mimi threw up this morning, she thinks Mimi may have eaten too much even though it wasn't a big portion. Before the surgery she would eat Goro's food too, which is also something that stopped when they brought her back, but maybe she did that. It also seems like she was eating some of it without chewing, there was food that wasn't chewed in the vomit. She's considering going back to soft food for her. Even though Goro is able to chew his food he also loves soft food so much that when she was feeding Mimi it he'd eat hers. She ponders just giving them both soft food since he likes it so much.

2:14:30 - Churu Is A Drug, Various Other GoroMimi Talk
While talking about how much they love soft food, she says that churu, a soft cat treat, is seriously a drug. When they're working hard, like going to the vet, when she has to give them showers, or when she takes too long trimming their claws, she just has to give them some churu. They like it so much that if she even touches the shelf that they keep the churu in, both of them will come running immediately like "MAYBE SHE'S GIVING US A REWARD", to which she has to tell them they're mistaken, what did they think they were doing that deserved a reward? Weren't they just sleeping? But when they are working hard all she has to do is give it to them. Also when she feels like they might hate her. For example, while Mimi is fine with Pekora petting her at any time during times where she's at home most of the day, during the days where she's out of the house for a long time she'll come home and try to pet Mimi and Mimi will be wary of her. When that happens she'll put a bit of churu in a spoon to get Mimi closer so she can pet her. If Mimi ever stops being swayed by it then she'll just go hug Goro against his will. She knows him, he acts like he doesn't like it but she knows it makes him happy. Like after she touches him, he'll leave with his tail up so that means he likes it... or maybe he doesn't like it, she doesn't actually know. She thinks it means he likes it but if he doesn't what should she do? Well regardless, he comes back later so it's fine. He doesn't hide his tail or anything so he doesn't hate it. He also doesn't bite at all. Mimi did play bite a bit, but despite Pekora thinking she'd still do it since she's still young, she's stopped. She's never been bitten by Goro and she also thinks he didn't even play bite her, she feels like he never chewed her fingers. She wonders what he did bite then, maybe the cardboard boxes she got for him. She also feels like he didn't lick her fingers either like Mimi did. Why doesn't he lick her? Does he not like her? Someone reminds her that cats have personalities and she says that's right, it isn't that she isn't liked, it's his personality, she was worried for a bit. Goro also nuzzles her when he wants to be pet and of course she gives in. He's definitely a tsundere type, not deredere. When he wants to be noticed he'll let you know and when that happens she gives in and tells him how cute he is. She also wonders why cats have such cute sleeping faces. Their faces are cute when they're awake too but why are they so cute when they're sleeping? Just by looking at them she feels happy, she's happy every day. Someone asks if Goro hasn't seemed like an old man recently. She thinks on it a bit and says his sitting posture is like an old man, like when he's leaning on the wall, but recently not that much. He's also been looking over Mimi because of her health. Before the surgery they'd play with all their might, running and messing around but not since the surgery. Something she finds amazing about cats is their tails showing their emotions, Mimi's tail was always up before but after the surgery Pekora felt like her tail was crying. You could tell she wasn't feeling well just based on that. Right now she's starting to get better though.
