Hanasaka Sei’s Friday Morning Chat Runs Past Three Hours and Ends With a Mock Slap for Viewers

The UltraLMTM streamer kept the right side of her screen empty on purpose, because a vertical-format version of the stream crops to the center.

Hanasaka Sei of UltraLMTM ran a morning *zatsudan*, or chat stream, for just over three hours on Friday. It wandered from a chamomile flower reading to a rice ball recovery story and closed with the streamer, in her flower-shop-owner persona, announcing that she would end by slapping everyone.

She opened by naming chamomile as the day’s lucky flower and said its flower language includes enduring adversity and soothing the person who receives it. She then explained why the right side of her screen sat empty: a vertical-format version of the stream was being shown at the same time and crops to the center, so she moved closer to the middle. She tried to find something to put on the right, gave up, and left the space open.

Chat steered her toward a sneeze she had muffled during an earlier Apex Legends stream. She told viewers that the archive runs about six hours and that they would have to search for it themselves. Later she described a bout of high fever during which she ate nothing for a full day, then had four rice balls delivered and ate all four in one sitting. She said she felt better right away, and that her mother’s response was to compare her to the wandering painter Yamashita Kiyoshi. She also said she had played Slay the Spire until after 2 a.m. the night before and still got up around 6.

The chat kept up a running bit. When she joked about unicorn horns being polished, viewers answered with horse emoji and talk of horns snapping. When a stray remark about listeners being only text drew jokes in the chat, she insisted she had only read out comments, then ruled that everyone would share the blame and be “poison-laced.” She noted around the 2.5-hour mark that the stream had already run that long, and chat answered that it was only just morning.

Near the end she offered to erase everyone’s memory of the morning. Chat replied with apologies, and she praised those who apologized first. She closed after three hours by thanking viewers, saying she was ending the stream having hit everyone, and mentioning that she might hold a drinking stream that evening.
