Chapter 23 : Playing "Keep Silent" With Shirakami Fubuki (2)
The both of them got to the first floor. When they got there, Kotomi quickly told Fubuki.
"Let's split up. You find all the bottle of fuels and I'll take care of the pump and the electric box." Kotomi said which Fubuki tilted her head only.
"Oh, you know what I should look for?" Kotomi nodded onto her question. "Amazing!" Fubuki said with a bright smile.
Fubuki only watches the gameplay of this stage where the stairs going down have a blockage. She doesn't know what to do on the refueling puzzle.
"Okay, I-I'll take care of the monsters so just focus on finding the items." Kotomi said with a slight stutter as she said that.
"Okay. Let's meet up outside the mansion."
"Yes, be careful Fubuki-chan!"
After the both of them decided on that, they split up. Well, Fubuki was the one who moves out while Kotomi looks around for awhile after turning her flashlight on.
When she saw a vase there, she goes towards it and grabs it. After that she runs back to the stairs and when she was halfway there, she turns to the direction where the southern part of the door is located and throw the vase there. With utmost precision, the vase broke in front of that door.
'There, that'll stall the monsters to check that place while we look for what we are looking for' Kotomi thought to herself as she goes back to the lower floor.
She walks silently to the opposite direction where Fubuki went and check the first room that she encounters.
It wasn't lock so she easily manages to open it. From there, she can see that it was just a normal room with a single bed and some simple furnitures in it. There is also a lampshade above the drawer that was besides the lone bed in there.
Predicting that nothing seems to be there, she just ignored the room as she goes straight to the bathroom that was just passed through the bed. She entered the bathroom which is pretty narrow. Pointing her flashlight on the floor, she saw a bell lying there.
She took it before quickly leaving this room.
When she leaves the bathroom, she heard some footsteps above her. The footsteps sounds heavier than the footsteps of the player.
'Ugh, they are on the second floor, on the section where I started.' Kotomi thought in dread. 'I need to finish this as quickly as possible before they got below this floor.' She thought as she moves pass the bed again and leaves this room.
When she got out, she opens her flashlight and saw a vase on the distance so she moves there. When she got near that vase, she took it and put it in her inventory.
Then she goes to the door that was just besides that vase.
When she opened it, she sees a room full of shelves of tools in it. There are a lot of webs and the wooden floor seems to be tweaky as it made a noise when she steps inside it.
"Ah! I need to be quick!" Without any choice, she spoke like that as she turned to sprint around the room.
Relying on her instinct, she quickly moves to the shelf on the corner of the room and quickly look for anything she can use there. When she saw an electric box just besides the toolbox, she quickly took it and put it in her inventory.
Along with that, she also go to right shelf and pick something that her gaze just passed through when she was inspecting this room. It was a squeaky ball.
When she got that, she quickly gets out of this room and then move to the stairs. She can hear the sound of something slurping their mouth above the floors which makes her breathing hitch.
On her Hyperchat, a lot of them are panicking as to what she is doing...

Metal_is_Solid : What is happening?
Kirakira99 : OMG
Kotomi took hold of the squeaky ball, lined up her sights on the wall upstairs just slightly tilted to the left side, and then she throws the squeaky ball. She didn't look where the squeaky ball will land as she moves silently to the next room, now without using the flashlight.
"Fubuki, don't open your flashlight when your going out. The monsters are here." She whispered to her friend regardless of the monster's closeness to her location.
Though Kotomi's voice was slightly pitching in a higher note as she says it, making it like she didn't even whisper her words at all.
After Kotomi said that, the sound of the ball squeaking and a loud primal roar was heard above the floor as a quick pace sound of heavy footsteps resounded on this room.
This causes Kotomi's breathing to hitched once more. And she was now trembling. Though she still manage to go to the next room while moving silently.
"Yes, I got it." Fubuki whispered back to her without showing any nervousness at all.
Fubuki said that after all of the events above was done happening.
Kotomi's vision was trembling a bit due to her hands also trembling. She was getting pretty scared at the closeness of the monster.
Still, she opened the door there much more slowly.
This is one of the standard strategy to this game. Slowly opening the door makes it cause much less noise. It still makes noise but the monsters will only hear it without any sound on trying to compete with this noise.
But because of the heavy footsteps on the floor above, she manage to open the door in tandem with the sound of the monster's heavy footsteps.
When she got inside there, she found herself in a room with a lot of cleaning utensils, a broken laundry machine on the side, and a table with some papers scattered all over it. There is also a matchbox in besides the scattered papers on that table.
She just relied on the blurry vision on her dark screen. She doesn't want to open the flashlight anymore.
Well, she wanted to open the flashlight but she was scared of the monsters going on her direction when she did that. Even the flashlight is one of the factors for the monsters to come to the player.
She quickly move to the side where she can see a hand pump that was hidden besides the broken laundry machine. She took that and put it on her inventory before moving to the table and taking the matchbox.
She then quickly operated her inventory and choose the matchbox. Then she uses it.
Now she is holding a lit matchstick.
She then pointed that to the scattered papers on the table before throwing the matchstick there.
In reality, it should have been put out when the matchstick fell like that on the air. But this game makes it so that the matchstick was still lit even when it was thrown on the air.
The matchstick hits one of the scattered papers and then it slowly burns out before it causes a small fire.
While that is happening, Kotomi quickly leaves that room while leaving it open and then she moves to the room besides it and opened it quickly, causing it to make a loud noise. She quickly closes that room when she entered inside.
She can see that it was a room with a large cabinet, a bed, and some furnitures in it.
Going by instinct, she hid below the bed before holding her breath.
As to why she burned the scattered papers on the washroom (The official name of that room), it was to turn the attention of the monsters to that room.
Though she predicted that there are multiple monsters and one of them will catch her, so she quickly get to this room and throw everything in her instinct.
And she was hyperventilating.
This game was highly interactive, even though some of it's physics is still questionable. So burning papers or even setting up alarms using some items in this game can be easily done.
Anyway, she was breathing heavily as she tried to hold her voice. Though it was hard because her viewers can hear her holding her ragged breathing.
She can also hear the sound of heavy footsteps and some slurping sounds on the floor where she and Fubuki is located. This causes her to freeze up. But she stayed below the bed.
This causes her viewers to become chaotic.

Don't worry, Fubuki was done taking four more bottle of fuels. She was going out now. We just hope she doesn't encounter any of the monsters who are surely moving around the halls now.

Uhmmm guys, isn't this bad for Kotomi-chan? It seems like she was having a shortness of breathing...
Level Up : Oh my god...
U Turn : Kotomi?
Thou Art Is Me : Kotomi-chan calm down!
Misaka Phenex : oops... sorry this is getting exciting...
Kotomi's gaze quickly catches on some of the comments.
'Fubuki-chan is going out. The monsters are still outside the halls roaming around. I am sure they will also move in this room due to the noise that I made. If Fubuki goes out before they got inside this room then...' Kotomi's thoughts halted on that as she turned her thought process into full speed.
She was so concentrated that her ridiculous thought process causes her perception of time to essentially stop everything.
Her thought process was currently 202x more faster than a peak human. This makes it virtually stop everything in her vicinity.
She have all the time to think carefully in this state.
'If I go out there, monsters will see me and I will die. Then they will take Fubuki next. There is no kill cool down for monsters here so that means it will be our lose. I don't want Fubuki to lose her confidence that quickly at her first time playing a horror game. This is also her first stream. It would be bad if she didn't win at least on the start' Kotomi thought to herself.
Though she was exaggerating in her thoughts. Fubuki might become scared but not to the extent that she will just quit on playing a game. Kotomi's mind was in chaos and she was somehow using her own experience to model Fubuki in her mind due to her being fearful while playing.
'I need to protect her. To protect her, I need to do something.' Kotomi thought to herself and then think of every possible steps that she can do.
She tried to remember everything she passed through this mansion. Then she planned every route she will pass through while also trying to meet up with Fubuki.
After awhile, she finally thought of a solution.
Her perception of time finally turned back to normal.
"FUBUKI!" She yelled, causing Fubuki to jumped a bit in her seat.
"Yes!?"
"WHERE ARE YOU, JUST TELL ME WHERE ARE YOU AND I WILL COME THERE!" Kotomi declared with a loud voice.
While doing that, she also gets out of her hiding below the bed and then operating her inventory to put the bell she have on her hold.
At the same time, she also heard the sound of a bestial roar just outside this room and footsteps getting near this room.
"Ah... eh... I am on a room that looks like a foyer. There is an unlit chimney in here." Fubuki explained while still feeling somewhat confused.
"IS THAT SO!? THEN PLEASE PULL ONE OF THE CHAIR THERE WHILE MOVING TOWARDS THE CHIMNEY. THEN HIDE YOURSELF THERE UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN GET OUT. PLEASE BE QUICK!" Kotomi shrilled in the end when she heard the door to this room being smashes.
"Ah, Un!"
Hearing the urgency of her tone, Fubuki took her words and quickly did what she told her to do.
While that is happening, Kotomi opens the large cabinet in there and then turned back to the bed before accurately throwing the bell below the bed.
With a cling, it made a loud sound. At the same time, she get inside the large cabinet and then closes it. Just in time before the door was smashes open and a roar that seems to come from something deep resounded on the room where she is located.
Using her full Talent, she manages to hold her breath and even her voice. Though it is starting to hurt her breathing now.
She hears the monster making a footstep that sounds like hammer hitting the floor. That monster seems to be getting near the cabinet. She can hear the sound of it breathing like a mix of wolf and something horrendous.
It's like a gurgle of flesh instead of breathing.
She was literally trembling in fear now. She wants to scream if she can but she will be caught if that happens. Her plan will succeed if she survives and get to Fubuki's side.
She knows where is Fubuki based on her description. She reviewed the whole map of every stages of this game. The only thing randomized in the game are the item placements and the puzzles that occurs in it. Other than that, the map is just the same.
So hearing the word chimney, she can only think of one place where Fubuki is located.
'After escaping this room, I need to go to the side where Fubuki went. Starting from this room, I need to pass three doors and then open the fourth door that I encounter. That is where Fubuki is located!' She thought to herself.
So she holds her breath so she can survive and make her plan a success.
This also makes her Hyperchat become tense.
Galbreak : For a game, Kotomi-chan is strangely serious...
Hurhur : I am thinking that this would be a fun little thing. I didn't thought she will take this so seriously!
Halhal : I think Kotomi-chan said she wasn't good at Horror Games...
U Turn : Fuck! You are done!
Guugure :

Dragon2020 : Why is this looking like a horror movie?
Janus : I just watch Fubuki's stream and it seems like she just did what Kotomi-chan told her.
90's_Spookyman :
(1,000 Yen)
This is a gamble. It's either the monster opens the cabinet or look below the bed for that bell.

Real Time Action : MARRY ME KOTOMI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!~~
She heard the monster just breathing on the other side of the cabinet. It was just staying there.
It was so tense that she was just distracting herself by looking at Fubuki's stream on her second monitor and also looking at the comment section on her Hyperchat.
"... When should I move?"
She heard Fubuki asks that but Kotomi can't reply due to the monster being close to where she is hiding.
After awhile, she heard the sound of fire on the other room besides this one. It seems like it was coming from the washroom.
She heard the monster roared in the close vicinity, which almost makes her deaf due to how close it is. Her heart almost stop as she froze on that roar.
After roaring, she heard it rushing out of this room with it's hammer-like footsteps.
When she felt that the monster is gone, she slowly opened the cabinet where she is located. Then she moves by kneeling in a tiptoeing way. She goes besides the bed and took a crawling position to see the bell below it.
She took that bell and then stands up before doing a tiptoeing move out of this room. She can see that the open washroom have some light in it due to the fires she made in there. She can hear the crisp sound of the papers burning to ashes and the sound of the footsteps of the monsters inside it.
She moves in the opposite side, the side in which Fubuki came to look for the bottles of fuel.
She moves on the corners where the darkest parts are located. She was also sticking to the walls so it would be hard for the monsters to look into her.
She manages to pass up to two doors before she heard the heavy footsteps coming to the washroom. It seems like one monster decided to come out.
She heard it moving near the room where she hid awhile ago.
Due to fear, she uses the most slowest but the most noiseless movement of this game. Using a slow movement while crawling.
She crawled to pass the third door as she hears the three pairs of heavy footsteps behind her. It seems like they are now looking for them with their sight and hearing.
When she passes through the door, she stayed on her steps as she felt a step getting near her position.
She predicted that she will be caught if she moves further on so she just stops and hopes that the monster doesn't see her.
It seems like the monster just move pass her on the side as it tried to go upstairs once again. Though there are still two pairs of footsteps still below this floor.
'So there are three monsters in total' She thought to herself as she resumed moving to the fourth door.
When she got there, she stood up before opening it slowly. Then she entered before quickly closing it. Making a noise which the two monsters heard her.
She is now inside a room where there are two chairs in it, and one chair with it's back blocking the entrance to the chimney.
She quickly goes towards the two chairs and then pushes it to the door. Making it as a makeshift cover.
"Ah!"
She heard Fubuki gasps when she was moving the chairs to block the door. But she just continued.
When she manages to push the two chairs to block the door, she finally sighed though she is still tense.
"F-fubuki-chan... i-it's f-f-fine to g-go o-o-out now..." Kotomi said with a trembling voice.
Then the chairs were pushed out of the chimney and from there, she saw Fubuki's character getting out of there in a kneeling position.
"Oh Kotomi, are you alright?" Fubuki asks in worry as she heard her friend's trembling voice
"I-im fine! I-it's n-nothing!" Kotomi tried to reassure her friend while feeling some tears come out of her eyes.
She was really scared of the game.
"A-anyway... h-h-here... take all of t-these..." Kotomi said as she opened her inventory and then put the electric box and the hand pump out of her.
"Oh... what should I do with it?" Fubuki asks as she put both of the items into her inventory.
Kotomi tried to regulate her breathing before telling her.
"Ahem... based on what I read in my comment section, you need to use the hand pump to open the garage. Then use the electric box inside the car after opening it to activate the car. After that, open the front side of the car and use five bottles of fuel to refill it. After that, get inside the car and it will be done!" Kotomi said with as much vigor as she can muster, though she sounds pretty tired.
She said that she read it on the comment section because she doesn't want to make some of her viewers feel sad. Spookyman and some of the people from her HC was helpful on giving her advice and they might feel that all their effort supporting her will be for naught if she said that she learned it on the strategy guide.
"Okay! I'll take care of it!" Fubuki said with a confident tone. "But what will you do?" She asks with a tilt of her head.
"I..." Kotomi trembled before gulping and the resuming what she is going to say. "I am going to be the bait!" She said in a weak voice, though there is a tone full of resolve mixed in it.
"Kotomi..." Fubuki was now much more worried at her friend.
She was here to play with her and have fun but it seems like Kotomi was taking this much more seriously.
But it can't be help. For Kotomi, she sees herself as inferior to anyone. Having a collab with one of the people that she admires in her past life (even if she is not a fan of Vtubers), it makes her want to do her best.
So she is doing her best to make this the best collab that she did. It doesn't matter if it frayed her nerves due to stress.
Kotomi sees that Fubuki was becoming worried at her. It is also the case of those watching her play this game. So she tried to reassure her again, this time with her full Charisma working in the background.
"I am fine. I am having fun playing with you!" She said with a gentle smile.
"... Ahaha, okay!" Fubuki felt somewhat light when she heard her say that so she just let Kotomi do what she wants.
It also calmed down the viewers that was watching Kotomi.
And Kotomi, while being serious and scared of this game, was truly having fun playing with Fubuki.
It is the first time she have someone she can play with. Much better, it was someone who also knows her and can converse with her like a friend.
It was very different than playing with her fans and some of her viewers. It's like the difference between playing with strangers and then playing with your family. That was how Kotomi is feeling.
"Okay! Let's do the Operation : Carnapping!"
"Eh? That was like we're the bad guys here!?"
"It's fine! We're taking their cars anyway so it's fine!"
Kotomi replied with a casual tone while Fubuki giggled at her. Kotomi did this to make the atmosphere much lighthearted.
It was ruined when they heard the door being smashed open.
"Okay Fubuki-chan, I'll be the bait so go back to hiding on the chimney. I'll tell you when you need to go out. You don't need to walk, just run when I tell you to get out. Make it quick and go to the garage." Kotomi said to her.
"Un!" Fubuki nodded at her way, with her character even doing it as Fubuki moves her mouse up and down to do it.
"Okay, let's do this!"
After that, Fubuki kneeled on the chimney and pulled the chair that she just pushed awhile ago to block the chimney where she is located.
While that is happening, Kotomi look around and saw that only the windows can be seen in this room.
She looks around the room again and then saw a large shelf of book besides the window.
With the cogs on her brain moving at full speed, she manages to make a plan in a split second.
She moves to the large shelf of book and pull it slightly farther in and in front of the window. Then she looks at the actions she can do with it. She scrolled down to change the pushing and pulling action into a kicking action.
There are many actions that can be done by a character in this game. By just facing a large object like a shelf, sofa, or even a table, they will see a prompt that states to pull or push it with a hold of the left mouse button. But it can also be changed my using the mouse wheel button. This will change it into a kicking action where the character kicks whatever object is in front of it to topple it down.
And that's just what she did. She uses the kicking option to topple down the bookshelf to the window. The game recognizes it as a sufficient damage for the window to break. This turns it into her path to get away to this room.
She quickly goes out using the toppled bookshelf as her foothold as she hears the door to this foyer-like room to be nearing it's breaking state and the bestial roars of those abominations.
She manage to get outside the premises of the Mansion. But she is still not out of the danger.
She quickly moves to the back of the Mansion without hesitation as she took a deep breath and then...
"I AM HERE! COME AND GET ME, YOU UGLY MONGRELS!" She loudly proclaim in provocation.
While doing that, she was running to the back of the Mansion. As she got to the back of the Mansion, she immediately turned and get near the wall of the Mansion while still running away. And then she stops when she saw a door leading to the premise of this manor again. Based on her knowledge of the map, this door leads to the washroom. Basically, the room that she burned.
Because she doesn't have the key for it (The Silver Key can open it) so she decided to do another way to open a door. Kicking it down.
She gets closer the door before seeing a prompt for what she wants to do with it. Scrolling down, she saw it change into kicking.
This is only done for players if they really want to make a noise.
She kicks the door down repeatedly.
"Come on come on come on, please be destroyed please be destroyed!" Kotomi repeatedly say while panicking.
She is scared and her heart is beating a lot due to her fear. She was in an adrenaline rush due to how panicked and fearful she is.
Her Hyperchat was also becoming erratic because of this intense chase.

Kotomi just continue kicking the door as she hears the sound of heavy footsteps and the bestial roars getting near her. Then it finally broke after clicking the mouse for who-knows-how-much.
She quickly gets inside and saw the room is still burning a lot. She quickly go besides the table where she saw the matchbox that she left in there and take that to her inventory with a quick movement of her hands. Then she runs outside this room and then go straight to the upstairs.
After getting to the upstairs, she moves on the left side where she saw the squeaky ball that she threw awhile ago and then pick it up. Then she runs to the southern side of the stairways area and opens it to reveal an open veranda in there.
After opening that, she just left it open as she goes to the eastern side of this stairways area and opens the door there in a quick manner. Then she turned to the direction where she can see the stairs before lining up her throw and then throwing the squeaky ball on the stairs.
She left the double doors on the eastern side open also as she moves in a slow walk so her steps weren't heard. She also didn't open her flashlight when she did that.
She heard the sound of the fire burning the papers to the crisps and also the sound of the squeaky ball landing on the first floor. She also heard the distant sound of the heavy footsteps as she got farther on that area.
She moves to the Music Room once again and opens it slowly. After that, she pushes the piano to the door that leads to the main hallway, blocking it to any intruders before she goes to the door that seems to be broken by the monsters when she leaves it.
When she got there, she quickly moves to the nearest room she can see and opens it slowly before going to the bed that she saw there and take the blanket into her inventory. After that, leaves that room and goes to the left wing of this area and then go to the room where her character first woke up before quickly operating her inventory to take the matchbox. Then she uses it, which makes her hold a lit matchstick again. She throws it on the bed there which burned it slowly before leaves the room, now leaving that door open and without any regards to making any attempt to conceal her movements.
She moves to the room besides that and also entered it before moving to the nearest bed that she can see in it. Then she uses the matchbox again to make a lit matchstick and then throw that to that bed too, burning it also.
Then she runs towards the next room, now while she was counting on a whisper.
"One, two, three, four, five..." Kotomi mutters as she opens the next room which is adjacent to the two rooms that she burned awhile ago.
She uses the matchbox to burn the bed in there before leaving the room open as she leaves it.
"Six, seven, eight, nine..."
When she got to the next room...
"Ten!" She exclaimed in a loud voice before yelling. "FUBUKI-CHAN, YOU CAN GET OUT NOW. RUN TO THE WINDOW THAT I BROKE THERE AND THEN MOVE TO THE FRONT OF THE MANSION! YOU CAN SEE THE GARAGE WAS JUST AT THE LEFT SIDE BESIDES THIS MANSION, GO THERE AND DO THE REST!" She yelled at the top of her lungs while she was running to the right wing, ignoring all the rooms that she passes along the way.
When Fubuki heard her call, she quickly pushes off the chair that was blocking off the chimney where she was hiding. Then she looks to the side and saw that the window was broken and it seems like she can get outside from there. So she just did that while running.
While that was happening, Kotomi got to the right wing and she immediately open one room that was the nearest to her. When she opened that room, she turned to the hallway that leads to the Music Room and quickly operated her inventory before taking hold of the bell in her hands. She pointed a bit higher and then throw it on the hallway. After that, she goes inside this room while slowly closing the door and then she opens her flashlight. She sees a bed in there and some drawers in it. Not having any choice any more, she crawled and hid under the bed.
Her Hyperchat at the moment...

While this is happening, Kotomi was now alternating her attention on her perspective, Fubuki's stream, and her Hyperchat.
On Fubuki's stream, she can see her running towards the place where she can see a closed garage with a lot of moss in it. She quickly got closer to the garage before operating her inventory to get the hand pump.
Though it was slow for Kotomi, for other people it was already fast enough.
She uses the hand pump and clicks it repeatedly to pry open the garage. When it finally opens, she gets near it and use the action that she sees on her prompt to pull it up, opening the garage cover.
From there, she can see a large car of an old model. It can be likened to a military jeep.
Fubuki quickly opens the door and then put the electric box besides car. Then she looks around the car and saw that there is an action bar where she can open a part of the car below it's steering wheel.
While Fubuki is busy doing that, Kotomi heard the sound of roars and the door being smash open in the distance. It seems like they are destroying the remaining door on the Music Room which she covered with the piano.
When the monsters manages to destroy the door, Fubuki was just done activating the car by connecting the wires on the car and the electric box that she put besides it.
The loud noise of the car interrupts the monsters going around the right wing to get to Kotomi and they were just moving to get back. Kotomi didn't miss this detail due to the sound of their footsteps going on the direction to leave this area.
So she quickly made a move. She goes out of her hiding spot and then opens the door widely before running away.
"QUICK FUBUKI-CHAN!" Kotomi said while feeling tense and panicky due to her running away once again.
"Okay!" Fubuki replied as she goes around the car and opened the front hatch of it.
Kotomi moves to the shower room before slowly opening it and then closing it.
She heard the monsters quickly moving on her way before they quickly left, now moving to the sound of fires that she made on the left wing.
She counts up to five before opening the door to the hallway and leaving the shower room with a sprint. This causes the monsters to learn where she is as they once again move towards her, which she predicted.
"Aaaahhh! I am planning to escape on the veranda using the bed blanket, but I got farther on it to buy more time. I'll never reach it!" Kotomi yelled, not bothering to contain her voice anymore.
"I am sorry..." Fubuki apologize with a slight giggle as she quickly to put the bottle of fuels on the car.
"Don't apologize, it's alright... though that giggling is unnecessary!" Kotomi replied as she moves pass the destroyed doors of the Music Room and into the main hallway that leads to the stairway area.
"Sorry!" Fubuki apologized unconsciously as she finishes putting all five bottles of fuel on the car.
She closes it and then go inside the car.
[Waiting for 1 more player]
That was what Fubuki saw when she got inside the car.
"Oh Kotomi, hurry up! Our car is ready!"
While Fubuki was waiting for her, Kotomi manage to get to the stairways area while she can feel the footsteps getting nearer at her location.
"AAAAAAAAH!" She screamed as she operated her inventory while her eyes are wide open.
She quickly took the blanket and use it on the railings in front of the large double doors that she just left.
She quickly scrolled through the actions and saw the rolled up action. The blanket immediately become tied to the railing while most parts of it are flowing below it.
She quickly uses the climb down action and she saw her character holding the blanket that she turned into an impromptu escape rope before going down the first floor with it.
When she got down, she heard the sound of footsteps stopping just on the position where she was before.
This makes her get a sigh of relief.
Though when she turned around...
"IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
She was met face to face with a grotesque being that have an octopus like face with some of it's flesh wide open and it's body made of some sort of flesh.
That monster grabs her character's head and push her down on the floor and it begins on tearing her organs first.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kotomi screamed for a second time as she gets farther on her computer screen with her seat.
On her HC, her audience were also shocked at the jumpscare...
Nirvaan : FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Byron : Holy crap that shocks me!
Pink Onion : Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It's Over : OWAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Noooooooooooooo Kotomi-chan nooooooooooooooooo!
ChaosBuds : That was terrifying...
Lexern : Oh crap...
Hurhur : FUCK
Ghanamid : Okay, now I was scared...
Akujiki : How can I sleep now when I see that happening!?
sakuramiko35 : Uwaaaaaaah
Gensou_Fan : Oh shit!
While that is happening, the monster rips her character's head out of his body and then opened it's mouth widely, showing it's lamprey like mouth with a lot of sharp teeth in it. It then gets closer to her screen in a sudden manner, indicating that it ate her character's head.
Kotomi was currently crying while that is happening. All her tension came to this part due to all of her fear reaching it's climax.
"Fueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... hic... uuuuuuuuu" She tried stopping herself from crying, her hands taking off the visor that she have to wipe the tears in her eyes.
On her stream, her viewers can see her eyes are not only in a half open state as they heard her crying.
Fubuki also heard that and she felt somewhat guilty as she hears.
While that is happening, a cutscene suddenly occured where Fubuki's character drives the car out of the garage and hit the gate like it was nothing. Opening the gate forcefully. After that, the scene turned black as the results showed on the screen.

"Ah... we win Kotomi!" Fubuki said, trying to cheer Kotomi.
"Hic... uuuuuuu... yessss..." Kotomi replied in a weak voice.
"Oh... sorry." Fubuki apologize unconsciously.
"... No, I am okay... we won..." Kotomi replied while putting some cheer in her voice, though it just sound strained to the others.
"Uwaaaah... don't be so sad!" Fubuki said in a panic as she hear Kotomi depressed like that.
"No. It's fine. I have fun in our game..."
"You sound so hollow while saying that!" Fubuki said in reply to her.
"Anyway, should we play once again." Kotomi said with a voice that was obviously forcing herself.
She doesn't want to disappoint Fubuki so she was trying to cope up with it and play with her.
"Ah! It's okay... if you can't do it, we can just play another game!" Fubuki quickly replied as she obviously sees how much Kotomi is forcing herself.
"No really, I am fine."
Kotomi tried to tell her that it was fine but Fubuki doesn't want to do it. It doesn't matter if she have a lot of Charisma score to persuade someone. Right now, she wasn't even at her 100%, making it easy for Fubuki to resist her persuasion.
After a lot of back and forth (which somehow became a topic on their HC), Kotomi finally conceded. Though she said she wants to do it on the next stream because it took fifteen minutes of their stream just talking like that.
"Oh right... then it was nice having you all!"
"Right, Thank you for collaborating with me Fubuki-chan!"
"Hai!~, Then to everyone... Otsu-kon deshita!~~" Fubuki waves her hand on the audience.
"Yes, thank you for having us this night. It's time to end this stream for now. This is your eternally seventeen highschool girl, Sakaguchi Kotomi desu! See you next time!~~" Kotomi followed with one of her hand waving at her audience, though she doesn't have as much vigor as she usually have.
Then she was the first one to finish her stream before Fubuki follows.
Ayumi sighed as she tries to calm her beating heart. She took off all her streaming equipments to her body and then go to her paint tool to make an art about her and Fubuki inside a haunted manor with some grotesque monsters behind them. She wants to make a post on Chirper telling her impressions about her collab with Fubuki.
She wasn't as fast as she was on the past days. Though because she have a ridiculous status so she was still much faster than a speed painter.
While she was making a detailed art of their stream, she heard someone knocking on her door. She quickly stops what she is doing and stands up before walking to the door and opening it.
On there, she saw Fubuki who suddenly bowed her head in her way.
"I am sorry for forcing you to play a horror game with me!" She was really apologetic when she says that, with her ears and tail drooping at that.
Ayumi was shocked when she saw her became like that and she quickly made a defense to ensure her that she was okay.
"Why are you apologizing!? It is my fault for being faint hearted! Please raise your head!" She quickly urge her to stop bowing to her in apology. "Look, I am the one who is ruining the fun on that stream. You don't have anything to feel guilty of." She explained while feeling guilty about what she did in the stream.
She became too serious on making Fubuki not disappointed to her. While it was her way of fun, it's not from the other people.
She basically killed the fun on that stream. And Ayumi was feeling stupid because she did that.
Or that's Ayumi's impression of herself when they are doing that stream.
"That's not true. You are fun to play with. I am sorry for forcing you to play a game that you didn't like..." Fubuki tried to turn the blame to herself because she felt that Ayumi was pretty harsh to herself.
"Aa mou... it's nothing really. I told you that it was my fault and not yours..." Ayumi was stubbornly refusing her apology and telling her that she was the one at fault.
"... Okay, let's just say it's both of our fault." Fubuki, seeing that she will be stubborn about it, made a compromise.
"Huh?"
"You see, you are too tense when playing that game with me. It's like you are trying too hard to protect me. And I force you to play it without checking whether you like it or not. That's why we are just even." Fubuki said with a look that was basically telling her that she can't refuse her.
"But... okay fine, we're even." Ayumi can only sigh in defeat as she saw Fubuki look at her like that.
Then silence overwhelmed the room as Fubuki just looks at her while Ayumi averted her gaze in embarrassment.
Ayumi doesn't want to be pitied on. She just felt it was natural that she was at fault after all.
Also, Ayumi doesn't know what to say so she doesn't even know what to do next with Fubuki.
"So..." Fubuki was the one who initiated the conversation. "... will you still play with me?" She asks with a tilt of her head.
There is also the look of her which basically anticipates her positive answer.
Even with all the Talent and Charisma that Ayumi have, she can't win against that kind of look. And she won't even dare because she now admires Fubuki.
Also, she wants to play with her more.
"Of course!" So she agreed with her proposal.
The both of them smiled at each other after she said that.
Thus, their collaboration ended in this note.

A/N
This chapter is freaking long!
That's what I get when I try to put my own twist on a game.
Yes, Keep Silent is a game that I just made up. There is no counterpart for it in our world. But for reference, I just use the Amnesia and put other horror game references with a survival twist in it and Tadah! A new horror game!
So about Ayumi's behaviour. I think you know that she have this strong inferiority complex right?
So even if she was trying to change herself, her weak and cowardly trait is strongly ingrained to her. It is hard to change herself like that.
And someone like her who have that kind of trait will try to not disappoint someone who acknowledges them. This is basically a real life depiction of people with inferiority complex. Not all the time of course, just the majority.
Because Fubuki acknowledges her as a friend, she basically became overactive with her action to prove herself worthy of that attention. She doesn't want Fubuki to be disappointed of her because she was scared of it.
Did you encounter any person like that? Because for me, I know someone like that in my school days!
I hope you have fun in this story...
