Tokitoki Channel ch5: I Tried Making Outside the House Cease to Be (1)
p1
Since the outside scenery is gonna get caught on camera,
I set it to automatically apply a mosaic.
And then?
The world outside our house ceased to be.
p3
I'm gonna make your hearts go tokitoki again today!
Sorry...
Forget I said that.
Well... y'know!
I figured I should start my streams with a catchphrase!
Make us go tokitoki.
Shut up~
You made me go tokitoki.
Forget it!
Next person to say that gets blocked.
That's a bit unreasonable.
p4
Was everything okay after last time?
Ah, yes.
We pretty much only had the sky on camera and I couldn't unlist it,
so I've kept the VOD public.Giant Ban-chan's face projected onto the sky.
Besides, when I went to Tatara-san for advice,
she said "don't worry, I'll do something about it".
And that "something" is?
I dunno.
Well, I figured if Tatara-san says she can, she probably can.
Although what I'm about to say next is somewhat related.
p5
Ah.
I should probably explain things for any first-timers.
This channel's concept
revolves around me, Totoki Sakura, a completely average working adult,
checking up on my genius scientist roommate Tatara Miki-san
and having her show us weird things that show up.
I'm not monetized yet,
but I'm currently aiming for 100 subscribers!
There's one just now!
Thank you very much!
So, as for what I'm gonna do today,
guess what!
p6
We're gonna go shoot outdoors!
Seriously!?
Wooooah!
You're gonna dox your house.
The vid's so getting pulled.
Yes, thank you for your concern, everyone.
So as I was saying before, Tatari-san added this little thing.
Can you see this image.
This little thing attached to the camera
is apparently some kind of scrambler that processes video in real time.
p7
Even if we film outdoors, it'll apparently processes things automatically.
She said it'd be fine after a test,
but I'm still a little scared,
so I'm going on a test run with Tatara-san.
Wait, there's something on the bottom right.
It's my cute pet Ban-chan.
It's apparently a crystallization of time.
Tatara-san~
Open up~
Time to pay this month's rent~
That's all the explanation we get!?
Tatara-san~
p8
What is it?
I told you I'm streaming!
Go on, say hello!
Hey there.
Say it properly. With your name too.
Hello, people of the internet.
I'm Tatara.
p9
Hey, shouldn't you have some awareness as a streamer by now?
Greetings are important, y'know.
I'm not a streamer, though.
Aah.
Are you all feeling tokitoki?
Don't watch me!
I just heard you.
Then you should've heard me call you too!
Don't pretend to be out of the room!
That's cos you were coming for rent.
You haven't paid it even once!
p10
I'm good.
You can go test it by yourself.
I'd feel more at ease with the creator with me.
Like if it breaks or something.
What a pain.
It's not good for your body if you don't at least do a little walking.
Your hips will get worse, you'll get hemorrhoids, you'll become unable to stand, become a complete wreck and die.
That's a bit extreme.
Come on.
Let's go together,
okay?
...
Okay, fine.
p11
Tatara-san, can you put on your shoes by yourself?
Huh?
Here I go, everyone.
Time for the scrambler to do its thing.Here we go.
What's with that shirt?
Ooh~
I wonder how the feed will look.
I'm excited~
p12
Open~
Hm?
Eh?
p13
Erm...
I opened the entrance
and there's the entrance.
Hmm~?
Are you still inside the house?
You haven't gone outside at all.
Welcome back.Eh~ It looks the same on the feed too.
Are you connected to another house?
You think so? But even then... it feels
a bit close?
It doesn't look very familiar to me.
p14
That's odd~
I knew it!
I was sure I had tested it.
This is the cause, isn't it!?
This scrambler!
I set it to automatically apply a mosaic.
And then?
The world outside our house ceased to be.
Ceased to be, huh?
p15
Phrasing it cutely like that isn't gonna cut it.
Why has it ceased to be?
Ah, the window...
Ah, the window.
How is it?
The same.
I opened the window and there was another room.
I think we can't get out anywhere.
The listeners say their houses are fine.
Figured as much.
p16
Hmm.
This is troubling.
You don't look very troubled.
Indeed.
This is honestly exciting.
I open the entrance and there's a hallway.
How mysterious~
What could it be? Kinda feels like our place.
Ah, hey!
Isn't going in there pretty bad?
We don't know what's happening, so we should be a little more cautious...
p17
Since I have the chance, I wanna at least see what's at the end of this hallway.
Seriously?
I'm a streamer! Not going isn't an option!
Are you worried?
I guess.
Then come with me.
So strong.
I'm surprised you can take control, Sakura-chan.
Ah, we should make sure the door doesn't shut just to be safe.
Hey, that's my sandal.
You don't even wear this beat up thing anymore anyway.
p18
It's an umbrella stand, different from ours.
No shoes or shoe cubbies either.
Ah.
The light switch is in the same place.Tokitoki Ch. 3rd Stream
It's on.
It does feel like our place.
Yeah!
It's slightly different, but it doesn't feel like a house we don't know.
p19
The hallway is freaking long, though.
You okay?
With what?
Aren't you scared?
Do I look scared to you?
Aren't you the one who's scared, Tatara-san?
If anything, it's scary that you're not scared.
p20
That expression pisses me off.
Guess it can't be helped~
The heck?
Since you're scared, Tatara-san, I'll hold your hand.
No, it's fine.
It's fine, I say.
Uwooooah~
Let's gooo~
Let me go.
Now now, the comments are hyped up, so just a little longer.
p21
I'm curious about the doors along the way,
but both my hands are full.
Tatara-san!
Just let go of my hand.
Don't wanna! I've finally
If you're a streamer, then...
...the stream comes first.
You're right.
It's a toilet.
Similar to ours.
Water's coming out.
I wonder if the lifeline's alive.
A washlet! I'm so jealous!
p22
Never mind that.
Ah, right.
There seems to be a door next to it.
Wait, another toilet!?
Why!?
And another door!?
Could it be?
I knew it! Another toilet! And a door!
What the heck is this!?
Please don't let this be an infinite loop.
Let's head further inside.
It's probably just all toilets.
p23
Now then, what's behind the furthest door!?
I really don't want this to be another toilet.
Eh~?
Holy cow.
p24
A spacious living room!
A huge TV!
This sofa too!
Tatara-san, I'm gonna live here...
There's too much sun coming from the skylight and sofa's color looks like it'll fade quickly.
There you go saying stuff like that again!
p25
You really are a contrarian.
I'm just telling the truth.
I'm talking about how you'll say anything if you think it's the truth.
Then would you be okay with it if I said "you stink" whenever you stink?
Huh? I don't stink.
You have days when you can't be bothered to bathe, don't you?
An anti-bather, huh?
To be honest, I always had a feeling.
I'm not gonna stink that much after just one or two days...
Right?
Well, you don't stink that badly.
The heck is wrong with you?
p26
The kitchen's nice too.
Let's check the fridge.
Ah, the inside is pretty normal.
Ah.
Those big sausages are delicious.
I buy them often too...
Hang on... Isn't this barely any different from our fridge?
p27
I think I might have an idea
about what's going on.
Oh, really?
Then please, explain away.
Ah...
I think this house was procedurally generated from using our house
as a seed.
p28
Procedurally generated?
It's similar to our house, right?
This room and the things inside it.
Let's start with that scrambler.
It replaces the surrounding environment with random noise.
Erm, so in other words...
it's not that it's processing what gets filmed?
Right.
What's filmed on this camera is altering the space around it in real time.
p29
So what does that mean?
Hmm~
How do I explain this?
First,
the space itself doesn't actually exist.
There we go.
The usual "it doesn't actually exist" thing!
What's this all of a sudden?
Last time you were all "time doesn't exist".
Why must you make everything stop existing!?
I'm not the one who made it not exist.
Then who?
p30
If I had to say, the universe, I guess.
No forgiveness.
Why?
Wait, if you're gonna explain things, let's sit down.
There's a nice dining table over there.
Ah.
Time for a quick commercial.
At least, I'd like to once I get monetized.
Current subscriber count: 61
Even if the space doesn't exist, the two are here together.
