Stream Summary: 2021-09-22, Zatsudan/Minecraft

Summarized from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpXbfeWmpGw

>Got invited to Squeenix headquarters with Noel(14:15)
She has a lot of stuff to talk about today, enough that she figured that a regular pure zatsudan would be fine but there are some things she wants to do in Minecraft anyways so she decided on talking as she works and the first real topic of the stream is her and Noel having been to Squeenix headquarters today. It was something she was incredibly happy about doing and when the chat asks her what it was about she says that it isn't something she can talk about just yet, but that they will probably find out about it sometime later but it was something akin to play testing two new games.
The chat goes for the obvious and thinks it is about Dragon quest and she picks up on that and says that it doesn't have to be DQ since Squeenix releases a lot of different things so they shouldn't fixate on just DQ. The chat says that since Noel was there it is surely DQ related and Pekora doesn't budge, and smugly says who knows, they'll know if their deduction was right or not at a later date and with as much smugness as she can muster says that they should probably stop trying to guess because Pekora won't divulge it.

She asks if the chat has ever been to Squeenix HQ because this was truly the first time she has been there and she was shocked to find out just how large that building was, tilting her head upwards so much it felt like it would snap, and thinking to herself that somewhere in this massive building is the HQ. It gave her the feeling of wanting to take it over one day, it was also very pretty. After a few minutes of distraction she returns to the conversation and says it was really large, and really tall, and that she really wanted to go out on the roof, overall she was nervous about being there.
Furthermore she says with a tinge of embarrassment that despite having been told by Noel's manager she was having difficulties finding the room they would have the meeting, it was seriously such a large place that she was getting lost, just wandering around nervous trying to find where she would go. But luckily for her it was during that time she met up with Noel which relieved her a great deal since she was being hopeless all alone and Noel practically became her savior. She once again reiterates how surprised she was over how large that building was, it was on the level of perhaps being the biggest building she has ever been in, being in awe that this was Squeenix HQ. Even going as far as to think of herself as a country bumpkin, she laughs and says Pekoland is amazing as well but still the shock made her considering herself as someone from the sticks with how lost she was.

As for the game she was playing, while she can't say what it was she does say that it was a lot of fun as you'd expect and that while playing it she was smugly thinking to herself that she is playing a game that the nousagi might play, only that she gets to play it before all of them. But of course she was nervous about it considering she wasn't at home so she did end up with some uncertainty in what she should do. But she did tell the staff there that she wants to play the game under the same conditions that she does when she streams, meaning she'd like for them to leave her alone in the play testing room, and she did get to do that which made her able to fully enjoy the game on her own. She says that she really cannot prattle on like she does on stream if there are people around her, it really isn't possible for her so she properly told them that in order for her to relax she wants them to leave her to herself as it would be difficult for her if people were around. The chat asks about Noel and she says that they did really come together but that Noel had her own play testing room, and Noel did worry a little about if she did good since she didn't ask for them to leave her alone in the room leaving her nervous. Pekora knew that she'd be too nervous if there were people around her, hence her asking in advance. And think about how embarrassing it would be to be reacting to the game in excitement and having some person just silently standing there looking at you. Of course if it turned out she wouldn't understand how to play the game and such then she'd have to call for someone but luckily she got the hang of it herself.

She was also worried about if she would be able to enjoy herself without having the nousagi present in the form of the chat and as someone to talk with since it is how she has always done it but it went fine. A Nousagi asks her if that means she doesn't need the nousagi, and she laughs, calls him a fool and says that it is obvious that she needs the nousagi, don't make her say it. This thing that is Pekora's stream is comprised of Pekora and the nousagi who come to listen to this stream, it is obvious that they are needed.
Someone from chat asks if there will be a video about all this uploaded and she says she doesn't know, maybe there will, when another nousagi says that he'd like to see Pekora when she is talking to herself and at that she responds with a voice full of hints, that perhaps he might be able to, she doesn't know, there might be a chance they will see that. If their habitual conduct is good then they'll have a chance to see it, to which they respond that it will be impossible then.

Continuing on with the game, it was difficult, what kind of game it was she can't say obviously, but despite it being difficult, she smugly proclaims that because she is one to frequently play games, she was able to clear the allotted portion. During the time they explained the game and controls to them their manager asked Squeenix roughly how far can they go, can they go all the way to the end, to which they responded that clearing the boss will probably be difficult but if they lower the difficulty then they could also enjoy the boss, which made Pekora think that it is that difficult of a game. But Pekora proudly proclaims that without lowering the difficulty, she defeated the boss, although she did die a ton.
One other embarrassing thing that happened to her was that when she was moved to the play testing room, which was a very big room as well, she was told to stay in that room and even if there is something she needs help with all she needs to do is call out and someone will help her, and she wondered if they would even hear her, but then when she finished the game and called out that she was done someone immediately reacted which made her realizes that they probably heard everything she did in the room which was a pretty embarrassing thought to her.
She was allowed to play another game and what made her really realize that they heard her was that after that second game when she called out that she is finished, she was told "Good work! It sounded like you were having a lot of fun!" which made her think that "Ah, of course they could hear me". Despite that being super embarrassing it was a lot of fun.
She continues and says that she got to play two games, but Noel only got to play one but despite that she waited for Pekora to be done before leaving so that they could go home together, Pekora found that very nice of Noel. At first she thought she would be there alone but was glad that Noel was with her, had she not been Pekora would probably had been even more worried.

>Sankisei Live(40:40)
The next topic of the day is the upcoming Sankisei live in November. She lets on that they had actually been asking for this for quite some time ago, even longer than several months ago but for various reasons it didn't really progress anywhere from that initial conversation but finally, they have been able to make an announcement. She definitely thinks that everyone will have a lot of fun with it and once again hints that there might be an original song coming too, but she doesn't know, perhaps, it would be nice if there is one. So currently they are working hard at practicing in for the live, like dancing and various things and she also lets on that their setlist for the live is already decided.

Furthermore she asks the chat if they realized that the announcement stream was going to be a 3D stream, because she saw people that wasn't aware of it and it made her realizes she didn't hint at it being a 3D except for saying that she needs to go to the studio for it. Having them all gathered for a 3D stream really doesn't happen a lot, so it was ton of fun, prior to the stream they were having girls talk and eating a lot of candy.
She asks the chat what they thought about her leading the stream, wondering if she did any good, because initially the plan was for Marine to be the host but considering that Pekora is in the center on the key visual for the live, Marine told her that if she is alright with it how about she be the host? She was fine with Marine being it too but if she is going to do it she'll do her best at it, but she was worried if she would be able to do it. Precisely because it was Sankisei she thinks that she was able to do her best at it, the chat says that she did a good job and she is happy to hear that and says that she probably ended up talking very fast at some points because of her nerves. She hasn't done that type of hosting before so she was worried about it but doing it with Sankisei was very easy and helped her relax, as they would get excited, laugh, and banter appropriately. She even told them afterwards that they are really easy to work with.
Pekora was really bad with the situation enactment part of the stream and all the way from the rehearsal of that section did she feel like she didn't want to do it calling it a hell all the while rehearsing and even during the actual part did she keep thinking she didn't want to do it. And besides she is also pissed at getting such low numbers and accuses the nousagi of not even being there.

The chat brings up the Country Ma'am snacks* and she is first shocked at them knowing, wondering just how they know that and then asks if someone told them. The chat says that Noel talked about it and she says that they bought a lot of snacks making it into a real candy party but Pekora only wanted the Country Ma'am vanilla flavored ones so she split with Noel, receiving the vanilla ones and Noel taking the chocolate ones.
Rushia gets brought up and it reminds Pekora about how sly she was during that stream, and explains that during the quiz section of the stream, Rushia's question was something along the lines of; "What is Rushia's favorite drink" and the answers were three selections of different tea and one for water. Prior to the start of the stream she was drinking black tea a lot and furthermore she was often asking for seconds as well, saying she wants some more since it is taste so good and a bit before that too she had said that she wants to try living in Shizouka** since that means she'd be able to drink all the tea she wants, and after that she would keep saying that this black tea she was drinking was very delicious and that left such a strong impression on all of them that when her question finally popped up they were all dead sure it was black tea except she had tricked them all, being fooled that cleanly impressed Pekora.
As for Pekora she drank milk as per usual, and so did Marine.

Speaking of Marine, Pekora thinks that most people already know from Twitter but Marine has taken a month long break in order to let her throat heal, and she was very troubled over what she should do becoming worried about the fact that what if her rough voice condition becomes chronic, and Pekora too could emphasize with that feeling like having ones voice permanently end up in that state would be a depressing thing, so Marine was talking with them asking if she probably shouldn't take a longer break, and for the time being she decided to go to the hospital and have them look at it and think about what to do from there. Pekora says that she wants her to take it easy resting and then come back to them, one month is a long time but it will be over before she knows it, so to everyone as well, lets wait for her energetic voice.

She begins talking about another thing that is planned but then stops herself saying that it might not actualize so maybe she shouldn't talk about it, and drops it to begin talking about the goods, saying the motif turned out nice and hinting at there might be more goods as well. Someone from chat presses her on that previous thing she didn't fully talk about and she spills it, saying that since she wants to really hype up the live she has proposed an idea to the rest of Sankisei, that roughly five weeks prior to the live, what if they have one Sankisei collab a week. Something like that would definitely be a lot of fun she thinks and when she said it to them they too got very eager about it but it might not realize so nothing is set in stone.
It would be nice if they could do that but it is currently just in an idea phase since they have to consider things like schedule and the physical condition of the members. It would be stuff like games, zatsudan, and other undone things, as well as if new information comes out then it would be a good opportunity to talk about it with everyone during the streams getting their thoughts and such. She also leaves a hint on that when it gets a bit closer, some more information regarding the live will be unveiled, so look forward to that.

**Prefecture known for their green tea

>A cover is on the way(01:01:45)
Out of nowhere she says that soon she'll release a cover, but apologizes and says that it is not the cover that was planned for summer. Regarding the summer cover one she really wants to raise the quality of that one by any means and she really doesn't want to compromise with it, so unfortunately it might be a while until it comes out. Before that she'll be releasing another one which is easier for her to put out as she had always planned to release this one at the day of the original song's release but with the summer one being delayed the order got messed up.
Also she wants to do a singing stream once her throat gets a little better, she is an idol after all so she has to sing and there is a live coming up too. The chat says that her voice does feel pretty good right now and she says that it is probably because there has been so few streams because of her busy schedule, so her throat inadvertedly got to rest. The chat is confused about her claiming there have been "few streams" and she is a bit confused asking isn't that right?

>3D PekoTowaBotan(01:04:10)
She quickly diverts onto another topic mentioning that she found out about Towa talking about wanting to do a PeToBo 3D stream and the chat confirms it that she has mentioned that. She says that she has too been asking about it actually, they haven't decided on a date or anything yet so it isn't set in stone yet but it is in the works.

>Another long story game planned after GTA5(01:05:20)
On to the next topic of her being very pleased when explaining that once GTA5 is over, she'll be starting a new long story game stating that it has been a while since one of these, and that this is a game she specifically has gotten permission to play, on top of being a game she has said she wanted to play although she won't confirm what game it is. So this week will be GTA5 and probably from next weekend she'll start this game.

>Wants to practice and have another go at 3-hour Makaimura(01:06:40)
Someone from chat jokes about it being Makaimura and she laughs at that but then says that sometime soon she wants to do another attempt at 3-hour Makaimura, not this week as that would be very difficult but the other day she has been practicing at night to be able to clear it in 3-hours and she'll do it sometime soon, on a Friday. They ask her what she'll do if she fails the 3-hour mark to which she responds she'll immediately say sorry and stop.
She mentions that now that a period of rest has finally arrived her excitement just shoots up, feeling like she can really be rowdy.

>Vaccine shot number 2(01:08:15)
The time for her second shot is close and she is being forcibly put on break in regards to it. After all they say that the second one is pretty scary so even Pekora will have to take it seriously, the first one she just got a minor fever and could do well without taking a break but not for the second one. Someone from chat says he got a fever up to 39c and that shocks her making her reflect on that fever really is common with the second shot which is scary for her.

>Maybe she should try streaming with a fever(01:12:00)
Next week she might be resting a whole lot because of the second shot of the vaccine but she does say that she might do a stream while under the effect of a fever, should she get one, saying that someone streaming with a fever really isn't something that happens and the stream would be in the vein of observing how a streamer is when streaming with a fever. She laughs at the idea, not sounding very serious, further saying it would be something like; "These are my reactions to the second shot".
She does say that she actually thinks it might work out since during the times she has had influenza and the like she hasn't really been so bad that she would collapse nor would she be very anemic, so maybe she should try it out. Something like this is how Pekora is under the side-effects, or a Mario Kart 1st place endurance while having a fever, she laughs at the absurdity of the last one.

She asks the chat what they would like her to do if she were to stream with a fever, and the chat replies that they want her to rest. She plays it up and retorts; "Oh, so you don't want to see me huh? Alright, I get it." But she says that she'd obviously not do it if she was feeling like it wouldn't be possible, but if it looks like she'll be able to endure she might do it. The chat is heavily against the idea so she further teases them by saying that she was planning on streaming from her bed and giving them the super rare Pekora bed voice, but since they seemingly don't want it then she'll just not do it.
Someone from chat tells her to stream from the bed right this moment and she laughs and says that no, since they told her to rest that is what she'll do, what a shame. Another one says that he wants her to do that during a time when she feels well and she laughs and says that during those times she wants to play games.
A nousagi tries to salvage it by saying it is alright if she wants to do it but she rejects him, saying that there doesn't seem to be any demand for it and doing unrequested things isn't necessary. Ahh what a waste she says, Pekora's super rare bed voice being unheard, she said she'd do it if she felt good enough to do it and finishes by telling the nousagi to regret this missed opportunity for the rest of their lives.

>Went to the movies to see M. Night Shyamalan's new film; "Old"(01:22:20)
 She mentions that she finally went and saw that Shyamalan movie that she talked about wanting to see some time ago, and it came to her from having heard Robocco say that she went and saw it, which made her realizes she hasn't. It was fun and she wonders if there is anyone in chat who has seen it and she briefly explains the plot as there being a beach resort of some sort that once you are there you rapidly age, it was a fairly scary story as well.
She was a bit surprised over the ending as well, since usually he does downer endings and while she didn't think it would be a bad ending this time, she thought it would be a slightly good one, but it turned out to be a downright happy ending. Sure there was a lot of people who died in it but the way it ended made her think of it as a good ending, and she says that those who've seen the movie will understand what she means.
She continues by asking if Shyamalan always did put himself into the movies as much as he did in this one, because you do often hear about the director inserting himself into the movie but Shyamalan really put himself a lot into this one, and it was also during pretty important parts. It made her try to remember if he always was this kind of director who'd insert himself, because sure in the old movies she remember seeing him but it made her wonder if he shows up in his recent ones too.

She says that she was seriously so busy she was close to going crazy, that the concept known as Usada Pekora was about to disappear. So in order for her to recover her lifeline she searched for some free time so she could go to one of her favorite places and prevent her life from extinguishing, if only for a little bit.

>More concerts and the like coming after the vaccine period(01:45:45)
Tomorrow is not only a Nintendo Direct but also the day Pekora will get her new iPhone so she feels like it will be a very happy day, until she remembers that there is also a meeting which brings it down a bit, but it can't be helped since it is an important meeting, but if there was no meeting the day would be even better. Even though she said things have calmed down there will still be meetings and the like.
The chat laughs at her spirit going down after thinking about the meeting and she laughs and explains that it is an important meeting for the things to come, so it is alright and not really something that brings her down.
She lets on that once this vaccination period is over there will be more concerts and the like which means she'll end up busy again but those are all things that she is voluntarily doing her best on since they are things to look forward to.

>A new non-weekend game planned and wants to try playing a galge again(01:47:20)
Speaking of things to look forward to she says that she has a new game she wants to play, that will not be on the weekends and she wonders if the chat can guess which it is. The chat asks for a hint and she pauses for a bit before responding that a hint is difficult to give because she thinks they'd instantly figure it out from that. They ask for the first character in the name and she rejects that too, saying it would expose the game immediately.
They try a different approach and ask for the genre, and as she thinks about what genre it is she fails to properly place it, wondering what genre it would fall under but it is a game she thinks that they have seen and that a lot of people have played a long time ago.
With that she decides on her hint, which is that it is an old game that probably a lot of people will find nostalgic. That is the biggest hint she can give and she won't give more than that, but a second later she also says that this is a game you haven't seen other Holos play, although it might just be Pekora who hasn't seen them do it and that they might have done it a long time ago, but she doesn't think anyone has.

Someone suggests it being Amagami but she says that she has already played that, finding it to be fun, and on that thread she says that since she rarely plays these galge games she has been wanting to try playing another one sometime. The chat suggests Tokimemo and she reflects on that it really is famous, although she has no knowledge of it since she has neither played nor watched someone play it. And that is because if it is a game that Pekora herself thinks that she might play in the future she will avoid watching someone else play it in order to avoid getting a pre-look at it and ruining the "First time" experience for herself. However if it is a game that she feels like she'll definitely never play then she might end up looking at someone else playing it.

>Going to focus on solo streaming for a while(02:11:40)
Coming from a silly back and forth between the nousagi she can reflect on that it really feels like a long time ago since she was able to just chat about all kinds of things like this and that it stems from her not having been able to properly do solo streams for a while. There has also been a lot of collabs, she was surprised at how much she was invited, and since collabs have been pretty frequent recently she'll focus herself on solo streaming for some time.
She does regret at not being able to make it in time for Subaru's sausage legend stream since she planned on participating but since she had errands during the day she missed it.

>Didn't eat with Noel after their trip today(02:41:10)
She starts the C-part by eating and a few minutes later she gets asked if she didn't eat out with Noel after their trip to Squeenix and she says they didn't, partially because of the current state of things and because she also wanted to stream. Whenever this period comes to an end she does want to go out and eat with Sankisei, when it comes to work it can't be helped for her to be outside but if she is going to go out to eat then she wants to do so without having the thought of Corona in the back of her head, she wants that completely worriless feeling. She does feel like it is a waste not to go out to eat after having done something like this but there will be more opportunities for that in the future so it is fine.

>Got a DM from Hakos about a rodent collab(02:42:10)
She says that she got a DM from Hakos about her wanting to get them together to do a rodent collab sometime, which would be her, Hakos, and Risu. She wonders what would be appropriate for them to do, and while trailing that thought she says that the message came in Japanese too and that Hakos is very, very good at it and the times she has checked out her streams she was surprised about her speaking Japanese too and good too. She thinks that the one she watched was one of her singing streams wherein she was singing a Japanese song and after it would speak some Japanese.
As for Risu she thinks about if they have talked anything but she can't remember any such occasion, so they might seriously never have interacted. However she has an impression of her that was left after she uploaded a lot of short videos during a period, although she had no idea what it was all about but it did fill up the Holo schedule page.

>Wakes up a few hours after falling asleep(02:44:45)
She breaths out saying she is really satisfied with today especially being able to do one of her "Zatsudan while working on something in Minecraft" type of streams, and after saying that she says she is also feeling tired, tired enough to sleep forever but if she goes to sleep she'll just wake up a few hours later. She explains further that her first instance of sleeping ends after a few hours but the second time she fall asleep she'll sleep a lot, she doesn't really know why that is. Someone asks if she is a short sleeper and she says it isn't like that, but after she wakes up from the first time she stays up a bit doing some work and once she decides to go to bed a second time she usually sleeps for 6 or 7 hours easily.
She wonders if the quality of her sleep isn't good hence her waking up, because her first sleep will end after 2 or 3 hours, without fail. The suggest it might be her living rhythm being all messed up and she says it might be that because she does also have times where she stays awake until her very limit. She also says that her futon is very thin, feeling rather hard, she'd like to soften it up somehow.
She says that she often uses her phone before falling asleep and that if she doesn't become so tired that she can no longer keep her eyes on her phone then she can't fall asleep, so when that happens she puts on her hot eye mask and tries to sleep, but wakes up 2 or 3 hours later with it still being dark outside much to her dismay.

>Regarding the "Free Craft Summer Project"(02:50:50)
She wants to try getting it out at the end this month but since there were a lot of people who created games and the like for this project there has been some extra checks involved. She doesn't think anyone will be rejected as it isn't really for that reason, but rather as a safety precaution that they are going through it. Discussing if it is safe to play the game and in the case that it is not then maybe uploading a video of the game is better, various things like that are being discussed which has dragged out the time and she apologizes for making the nousagi wait but she really wants to get it out at the end of this month.
Basically it isn't that it is forbidden, or that she thinks there are, but on the off-chance that there is a malicious game within these submissions then they have to play it safe.
On top of that some of these submissions are borrowing material from other games which means they will have to ask for permission from the game company to be able to feature these in her streams. All of this has taken longer than she expected it to do since she figured this was something she could do right away once it was done.

>Missed her usual "Before the stream" routine and haven't taken a bath yet(02:59:35)
She is reminded of the fact that she has yet to have taken a bath since she rushed home to stream and that she has to take one before going to bed but it sounds very bothersome to do so she thinks about taking a shower instead, but then complains about that if she takes a shower she'll definitely become more awake. She comes to the conclusion that maybe she won't take a bath or shower at all today, since it is alright to skip it for one day right, someone from chat says that she'll smell and she laughs and says that is fine, it is a nice smell you know.
Someone else says that isn't ok, take a bath and she counters by saying that all she needs to do is wake up around midday and take a bath then. They say she'll smell like an animal and she gives in saying that maybe she'll heat the water up extra considering how exhausted she is today, although she is sleepy already so it might be a bit risky.

Thinking about showering she says that standing up and showering sounds bothersome too, and begins to speak about one of her bad traits in that during the times she is very exhausted and it turns out that nobody is going to go into the bath after her, then she'll drain the tub and sit in the bathtub and shower there just giving in to her tiredness. Someone from chat tells her he is distancing himself from her after that revelation and she can't believe it, she means that nobody is going to enter after her so all that is left is draining the tub anyways, so it isn't particularly wrong. Giving them no chance to retort she continues by saying she doesn't do that in other people's home and that this is her doing it at her own home, it is fine isn't it since it isn't like he is going to be entering the bath. Does it really sound like such a bad thing to do, she wonders, and says that it shouldn't matter.

After that rant she says that she used to have a shower stool she could sit on a long time ago but presently there is none. She thinks that her mother might have gotten rid of it, although she doesn't know for sure. Someone from chat tells her to just buy one and she clicks her tongue calling him out on saying something so rude when she was in such a good mood, then goes back to the previous topic about her sitting in the tub and showering, complaining about how it is fine since it is in her own home and that it shouldn't be an issue, and finishing off with berating the chat for being annoying with their disapproval.
After that little "pissed off gag" she says that since she doesn't have one of those chairs then she has no other choice if she wants to sit down and shower, because if there was a chair then she would get out of the bath and sit there and shower. Someone asks if she is drunk but she says that she isn't, just exhausted and laughs.
