Sakura Miko Hunts Four Newcomers in Hololive Minecraft Hide-and-Seek, Then Faces Mock Trial

HOLOLIVE — Sakura Miko spent a Minecraft stream on Thursday tracking down four newer Hololive talents on the Hololive server, a hide-and-seek event that ended with a mock trial in which she was the defendant. Suzuna Tsuzuri, Hyakuto Kyoko, Achichi Mela and Sorashina Sopia, who joined the agency about a month earlier, were the ones to be found, and several other Hololive talents turned up along the way.

Miko said she had little idea of the format until the organizers sent a slide of the rules. The four newcomers were to scatter and hide until 8 p.m., then work in pairs, then all four together until 8:55 p.m. Anyone who found one of them within the time could give that newcomer a free-form challenge. Miko arrived with props and a short list of ideas, and said she had worried the search would be over quickly because the area was small.

Kyoko was the first of the four she met. Miko asked her to imitate Miko while trying to woo her. Mela was next, and Miko, who had earlier said she wanted to test whether Mela would really put out a fire on her, reported that Mela put out the flames in a fraction of a second. Sopia took on what Miko called a rap battle over a beat, with Miko rapping as the boastful senior and Sopia answering with lines about the value of pi. Miko declared Sopia the winner, called her “Sopia-sensei” and the two agreed to study pi together. Tsuzuri was the last to be found, and Miko gave her a goat horn.

Once all four were located, Miko took them to Summer Park, a large build on the server from last summer’s event, and told them to explore it on their own time because the evening was meant for meeting seniors. A fire later broke out in the village, and the group held a mock trial of Miko on a charge of arson, with Kyoko as prosecutor, Sopia as judge and Mela as her defender. The judge said the goat horn was hard to defend however much she had meant it as entertainment, and the sentence was that Miko would post a message promoting the newcomers.

Miko ended the stream after about two hours, saying she hoped to do more collaborations and that she had a live performance a week away.
