The two-hour squad session, planned after Kama-chan went two months without touching a shooter, closed with talk of a Valorant custom match.

Roiro Yamiyori of MEWLIVE’s second generation played Apex Legends on Friday as a full three-person squad with Kama-chan and Higuchi, in a two-hour stream that Roiro described at the end as an impromptu get-together.

Roiro opened by asking Kama-chan to explain how the session came about. Kama-chan said she had received a glass mouse pad in September and then gone two months without touching a first-person shooter. Roiro had mentioned to Kama-chan that Higuchi once joined a solo Apex stream and helped out; Kama-chan wondered whether Higuchi was good at the game, and the invitation followed. Kama-chan said her highest rank had been around Gold and that she would try to keep up, and the group joked about who would be escorting whom into the first drop.

Over the matches that followed, the squad called out enemies, shared supplies and fought inside the closing ring. Near the end the other two said they had not expected Kama-chan to play so well, that they had come in planning to protect her, and that the three moved in the same direction without needing to call it out. They joked that the evening’s pairing had been a success, like a matchmaking app.

Between fights the talk turned to Kama-chan’s hometown of Hiroshima. They discussed the shrine on Miyajima Island with its gate standing in the sea, power stones and a fortune-teller’s reading Kama-chan once received. Roiro said they had been studying the Hiroshima dialect, and Kama-chan offered to teach it if Higuchi ever landed a role that needed it.

The three also talked about a custom match in Valorant, each bringing guests. One said the second half of the month through early December could work, and they agreed to sort out dates later. Roiro signed off by announcing a Zelda stream at 10 p.m. the same night.
