Translation: Itaru Chigasaki R [taruchi Channel] - Viewer Count Goddess Part 2

Itaru does what he’s gotta do to get those views. If you like what he does, don’t forget to hit like and subscribe!

NOTE: This story’s setting is based in the AU event MAnkai ApArtment! Izumi is their landlady, not their director. Although they are still actors, the boys have different occupations, so please be aware!

Part 1

Izumi: (I need to buy detergent and toilet paper…..Which reminds me, that light bulb needed to be changed.)

Chikage: You call that interesting? I don’t get it at all though.

Tsumugi: U-Umm…..

Banri: Ain’t this revolutionary in it’s own way?

Izumi: (Everyone’s gathering together. I wonder why…)

Things look pretty heated here. Did something happen?

Kazunari: Seems like Itaroon followed our advice from before cuz he put out videos immediately~

Citron: Itaru worked really hard, huh! But it’s kind of strange.

Tsuzuru: People in the comments are saying it’s different from his usual videos, so you could say we’re all feeling bothered by it….

Izumi: Eh? Is that so?

Comment 1: “You changed all of a sudden, Taruchi.”

Comment 2: “maybe something happened LOL”

Comment 3: “isnt he kind of off topic from his usual stuff?”

Banri: The number of views are lower than before too.

Tsumugi: We’re wondering what we should do since we were the ones who gave him those suggestions...

Tsuzuru: Well, it’s understandable, since people came to his channel expecting to see let’s-play videos only to be shown a bonsai out of nowhere...

Chikage: I think his videos on extremely hot spices are pretty good themselves, though.

Banri: You’re trippin’.

Izumi: It must be difficult to increase your view count, huh…

Kazunari: Ah, Landlady-san, are you heading out to do some shopping? If you are, can I ask you to grab me some sweets from the conbini on your way back?

Citron: My notebook for jokes is getting pretty full, so I want you to buy me a new one!

Izumi: Got it. I’ll go buy them together.

(It looks like we’re running out of a bunch of equipment, too… I’ll go check the warehouse.)

~~~

Itaru: This is taruchiiii~ They released a new line-up in the KniRoun capsule toy series~

This time I bought 100 of them, so let’s get to unboxing~

And the first one isーー

15 normal rares, 3 bronze rares, and 1 silver rare. I managed to get a silver, so I think the pace is pretty good so far.

Next, for the lucky twentieth pull… Huh? This isーー

Izumi: ...Oh.

Itaru: …!

Ahh, seriously!? I can’t use this video anymore…

Izumi: Y-You were filming your video in a place like this!?

Itaru: *sighs* Down to 1 HP…

Izumi: I don’t really know what just happened, but I’m sorry… Um, is there any way you can edit over it?

Itaru: The fun part about unboxing videos are the ups and downs you feel as you open them. It’s my policy to record it all in one shot.

Izumi: So that’s how it is… By the way, just what is an unboxing video?

Itaru: A video where you open up goods with their contents hidden one by one. You don’t know what’s gonna come out of them, which makes you feel excited.

Every time they come out with a new line-up, I make a video like this where I open up a hundred of them. This series is my go-to [1] cuz it always gets me a solid number of views.

Izumi: Isn’t it pretty tiring doing it so steadily like that…?

Oh, that’s right. I’m heading out to do some shopping after this, so why don’t I buy you some capsules to make up for what you opened earlier?

Itaru: Seriously? I won’t hesitate to ask you to then.

Izumi: If you don’t get anything good, please don’t get mad at me, alright?

Itaru: It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s funny pulling dupe upon dupe.

~~~

Izumi: (That’s everything for tomorrow. I have a meeting with Sakyo-san in the afternoon, and… Ah, which reminds me, I wonder how Itaru-san’s unboxing video turned out?

Kazunari: Haha, this is crazy!

Banri: Isn’t this god-tier?

Izumi: You all seem pretty excited today too.

Citron: Ohh! You came at the right time! Itaru’s video is airplaning! [2]

Banri: It’s, “skyrocketing.” You helped out with the shoot without knowin’ it.

Izumi: Huh? Ah, are you talking about from before…?

Chikage: This one. Isn’t it about to hit one million views?

Yuki: When you compare it to the hack’s suggestion, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Kazunari: The title’s called, “KniRoun Capsule Toy Unboxing Feat. the Landlady-san~” It’s totes going viral like crazy!

Chikage: You should watch it too, Landlady-san. You had a hand in it, after all.

Izumi: I-Is it really that amazing…?

Itaru: “The 20th capsule, the last one from the landlady is… WHAT!? Wait, seriously!? OMG”

“A super rare gold Knight of the Round Table-kun GET!”

“Were all my dupe pulls just to prepare me for this? Landlady-san, you’re too OP.”

Comment 1: “your landlady’s insane lol”

Comment 2: “Taruchi’s excited LOL”

Comment 3: “lmaoo your landladys a goddess”

Itaru: “That’s the last of the capsules the landlady got for me. Maybe I should ask her to pull in the gacha for me next.”

“Until then, look forward to my next video~”

“Oh, and if you like what I do, please subscribe to my channel~”

Izumi: Umm… I’m glad I could help.

Kazunari: You’re famous, Landlady-san! ‘Grats!

Itaru: Ah, you’re all watching my video already? How was it? Isn’t it better this time?

Citron: Thanks for uploading!

Chikage: The power of our landlady is incredible.

Kazunari: At this rate, you’ll make a record-breaking number of views a reality!

Itaru: Thanks to you, Landlady-san, my numbers are doing great. I want to do a series with you from now on, just like this.

Izumi: Only if it’s once in a while…

Itaru: Thanks.

Itaru: Ah, everyone, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel~ [3]

Yuki: ...Who are you talking to?

TL Notes and Comments:

[1] Itaru says テッパンネタ, slang for content that is guaranteed for sure. I went with “go-to” because it’s also slang that conveys a similar meaning.

[2] Citron says 鯉のぼり(this is a pun, literally means “carp banner”) which he mistook for うなぎのぼり, which means “soaring, skyrocketing, rising in an instant” (everyone say thank you to Banri for the correction.) Since I went with “skyrocketing” I also! made a pun and used “airplaning” for Citron’s Citronism.

[3] HE’S BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL I HATE THIS LITTLE SHIT

A huge thank you to @crying-potato-jpeg for providing me with the story and @brainwashingdetective for helping me with proofreading/some tls! Stay beautiful!!

First fic O.o

Hi so I wrote a fic about Frank and Joe because I wanna get better at writing lol so pls enjoy if you read!

The Midnight Case-Cracking Escapades of Frank and Joe Hardy

The basement of the Hardy home or as Joe liked to call it, “the science lab,” served as the boys’ center of operations. It was where Frank spent his longest nights; researching, experimenting, and discovering their biggest revelations. It played an important role in every case they solved.

However, “science lab” still seemed like a bit of an overstatement.

It was one large room, made up of four unfinished walls and a concrete floor which required Frank’s favorite pair of fuzzy wiki-tiki socks from Big Island Mike’s.

Joe had taken great care in setting everything up, from the bulletin board hung against the wall of the staircase, to the microscope and filing cabinet in the back corner. They even had a makeshift dark room in the right corner for developing Joe’s rolls of film (he claimed evidence was easier to capture in this format; Frank had yet to actually test this theory). Everything including their computers was fairly outdated, due to Joe rummaging through whatever he could find in their local junkyard and promising Frank he’d make use of it.

He had been right though- that label maker really had come in handy.

The lighting wasn’t the best, and sometimes the reflection of the ceiling lamps on Frank’s glasses gave him a headache.

He dropped his glasses onto the table in front of him and massaged his temples before putting them back on. Maybe the lights weren’t the cause. Maybe it was the fact that this case seemed impossible to figure out.

Glancing back up at the case board, Frank’s eyes followed the red yarn connecting what little pieces of evidence they already had. Had they always been blurred together like that? He needed more coffee. Or maybe a bagel. Did they have bagels?

The furnace kicked on, shocking Frank back into reality. He needed to focus- there was a case to solve. Clues. Evidence. Testimonies. Bagels.

His stomach grumbled.

“I got us snacks.” Frank could hardly hear Joe speak as his footsteps thundered down the wooden stairs.

“Did you bring the bagels?” Frank asked.

“Dude,” Joe placed a bag of doritos and a plate of cookies on the desk. “We cleaned those out like a week ago.”

Frank made his classic I’m-annoyed-and-will-find-some-way-to-pin-this-on-you face at Joe and snagged a cookie.

“You sure you didn’t miss them? Mom always buys extra and puts them in the freezer. Did you check the freezer?”

“Yes, Frank, I checked the freezer.”

“I wanna check.” Frank stuffed the rest of the cookie in his mouth and headed for the stairs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I told you there weren’t any bagels.”

Frank shrugged. “I guess you were right. Sorry I doubted you.”

Joe opened the fridge and rolled his eyes. Frank was always saying mature level-headed stuff like that just to get the upper hand. The upper hand on what, Joe wasn’t sure, but it was pretty annoying. Some asserting-the-older-sibling-dominance thing.

Joe grabbed the orange juice and milk from the fridge and closed the door. “Make any progress while I was gone?”

Frank snorted. “Nope.” He started to pour a box of cinnamon toast crunch into his bowl. “Everything’s blending together.”

Joe handed him the milk jug and grabbed a glass from the cupboard. Joe was a juice fan- orange, apple, grape, grapefruit, you name it he drank it. Not just at breakfast, but at any hour of the day, which boggled Frank’s mind to no end.

“Maybe we’re just focusing on the wrong details.” Joe suggested as he poured the juice into his glass.

Frank munched his cereal, staring blankly into nothing. “Maybe we should read over the investigation log again,” he muttered thoughtfully, then took another bite.

Joe groaned. Not the investigation log again. He took another sip of juice.

“Hey, remember when I spilled juice all over our boss?”

Frank choked and sputtered on a spoonful of cereal. “that was horrible,” he managed to get out between laughs. “And on his crazy expensive suit, too!”

“And his phone,” Joe added. “Which, let’s be honest, I probably did a great service to the world by decommissioning his ability to call for at least a day.”

“Ugh, he called us like every five minutes,” Frank leaned over the counter to finish his cereal. “I was just glad for that case to be over.”

Joe hopped up on the counter, and sat on it across from where Frank stood. “He didn’t even pay us, even after all that time we spent searching for his stupid laptop.”

“You did spill juice on him Joe.”

“What a waste of perfectly good juice.” Joe said ruefully. “Rest in peace, five dollar fresh-squeezed orange juice.”

Frank raised his spoon in solidarity.

“It was juice well spent though. Pretty sure Lance Huffington will never try to hire us again.”

“Wait!” Joe lightly smacked his brother on the shoulder. “FRANK!”

“What?”

Joe dramatically slammed his cup onto the counter. “JUICE!”

Frank’s eyes widened. “Holy crap! You’re right!”

The boys dropped their dishes in the sink and dashed back down to the lab below.

Frank didn’t get a bagel, but Joe’s revelation was exactly what they needed to find their next lead. They stayed up for several more hours well into the morning, piecing together each bit of evidence and research they had. Joe broke out the lab equipment for running tests. Frank intently organized every bit of information down to the tiniest detail.

There were many exciting moments in the world of crime solving, and a multitude of reasons why both boys enjoyed it so much. However, they agreed that long nights like these were one of the best.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haha, I didn’t really know how to end this. But it’s here. If you’re wondering about the case I’m going to say someone was poisoned via their juice and the boys didn’t know how they died/got put in the hospital yet. Idk or maybe a prime suspect was a server who gave them juice or worked at a juice store. Aside from that, Joe likes the song “Juice” by Lizzo. Thank my siblings, specifically my sister for the majority of inspiration for this story- and Maddy/@professorhotchkissta (on tumblr) for the original story prompt haha, as well as all my friends for reading this and the lovely Becca aka @knockoutqueenoftheunderworld for her fabulous editing, ya’ll rock!

I was talking with one of my friends the other day about how after graduation, people have time for hobbies /a concept/. For example, a lot of my 2018 friends play video games together as a way to socialize, and to be fair, they are all quite good now at League of Legends compared to me, who is stuck at level 30 since I play like once every five months.

But why do they play every day when I don’t? Obviously they have a bunch more time post-graduation to, but also I just don’t see myself dedicating all my free time to it. And this goes for other hobbies I see people in the real world doing, like dance or music or photography or reading or spin/yoga/running. Instead of fixating on one thing like it seems like real adults (TM) do, I do the cycling between the same six hobbies every two weeks until I am just about slightly below average to average at every thing I try. My friend says it’s from how in high school we spent all our time doing 12389182 things and in college, we continued to find new interests and taking on 129381928 extracurriculars and leaving that is just impossible for us. I kinda believe in this, but I also wonder if it’s because I haven’t found the one thing I truly truly love, but rather 10 things I kinda like doing every once in a while.

Comprehensive List of My Hobbies (and oh is it a mess)

Photography

I recently got back on this train by taking pics for the model UN chair shoot. We went and borrowed a camera from the library here (the libraries here have literally everything you would ever want, from recording equipment to nice cameras to xbox games you can play in-house), and then took pics from 3-7pm in the nano building to take advantage of the lighting. To be fair, the lighting was absolutely PRIME, and getting to use that 8th grade photography skills on an actual job was really fun. I also really love photoshopping and playing around with white balance and color levels, like I’ll really spend hours on stuff like this, but then ONLY EVERY TWO WEEKS

Music

This has been one of my largest hobbies in that I’ll compose, play, listen, produce, literally everything related to music, but I just don’t personally feel good enough to call myself a legit artist (u feel????) anyways, it also takes a lot of creative energy that I lack most of the time due to fatigue, so most of the time, my musical outlet manifests itself in playing the same chord progression on guitar because that’s slightly therapeutic whereas lying in creative mental block is not

Film/Vlog

This summer I had a lot of time to try this out, and just as I like photo editing, I also really like video editing. If you scroll down just a bit on this blog, you’ll probably find the NYC vlog and also some of the short films I’ve done for my house government. The most recent one is here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zQY_Z4ufEY and yes it really is tik tok inspired, please don’t at me. but again, i feel like vlogging is a lot of effort in that you always have to be recording, and your girl likes doing crosswords in her free time, not thinking about the next nice shot lol

Baking

In high school I used to bake a lot, so I haven’t really done this in years, but I used to bake a TON in senior year. Granted this was one of those hobbies that I was far below average in terms of skill level, but I feel I really learned a lot in the process (for instance, 1/4th of an egg is not equal to a slightly smaller than average egg). Also I got really good at frying eggs in this whole process of learning how to cook/bake, so I guess this is quite practical. Perhaps I should get back on this train. But ingredients also cost money. (But then again, the friends you gain from offering baked goods are priceless)

Learning a Language

Every six months, I tell myself this is it, this is the day I learn Mandarin. And every time, it is, in fact, not the time. This happened once last semester around April where I had a whole burst of trying to learn how to read and then quit after two weeks, and then summer 2018 where I tried downloading all the apps for learning Chinese to practice on the bus (which consequently really died fast once I went back to school), and then summer 2017 also had an attempt, but again, that also died, and mostly what this led to was my conclusion that actually just talking with my grandparents in Mandarin over the phone was the best way to improve my Chinese. i have to say though, the notifications scheme on Duolingo is remarkably good, the guilt really is there

Sports

I think the amount of effort I put into trying to get better at basketball is really quite unfortunate because I actually don’t think I’m that natural of an athlete, I think I’m just slightly more tryhard than others when it comes to sport, which results in me just being a bit above the average beginner at literally every sport. For example, football?? I can kick the ball. And dribble and such. Tennis??? Yes, I can indeed return the ball and hit it between the lines (though to be fair, the majority of the time I’m playing tennis, I find I’m really just not trying to make a fool of myself, so the intrinsic motivators are really there). Basketball??? Ah I think I’m a bit more than slightly above average, but I’m still not really that good, mostly because I don’t actually move that fast. And I think that’s my issue in like every sport, like my body just doesn’t move that fast, so??? oof

Bonus Hobbies-That-Could-Have-Been (and I guess still could??)

Dancing

In freshman year I really liked dancing. I also really liked dancing my senior year of high school, but once sophomore year hit me in the face, I just found other things to do in my life. But I still really love watching dance videos and I feel like if I were to join a dance team with a friend or two, I would really enjoy it. But only with a friend or two, I’ve tried going to dance workshops with people I didn’t really know that well, and it just hasn’t felt the same. But I feel like I could really dedicate myself to it if I were dancing with people I loved hanging out with.

Interior Decorating

There was this really strange three day period over the summer where I was really into designing my room down to the inch. and i actually did execute and my room looks great now - I have a small home office section of my room, I have decorations all up on the walls, and my closet organization is pristine. Unfortunately the process of interior decorating is a nontrivial amount of cost, so this didn’t hold up for long.

Gaming

Again, I was really into gaming summer 2018, but after that, I just lost interest and my skill level plateau’d out after that. Now I’m still pretty bad at League and very bad at Fortnite and acceptable at Smash (but only while playing Ike), and I don’t think I’ll be back on this hobby any time soon, which is a shame because my friend group’s main way of communication is through....gaming

As you can see, I am a mess. My last few I’ve gone through are photography and film, and I’m kinda in the language phase now (though things seem to be suggesting that I’ll actually follow through on this learning a language thing because it’s been a month now that I’ve been pretty consistent on Duolingo), so who knows!! Maybe I’ll produce a song (the one song that I make a year lol)

#gonna go sleep now bye
