November 28, Friday.
The clock's hands moved past midnight.
The current time was no longer Friday night—it was the early hours of Saturday.
But for students and office workers alike, both times were considered great.
At this moment, in the home of Tokyo high school student Shimokawa Yōji.
Shimokawa Yōji and his friends Hidaka Kōryō and Takahashi Fumiya were gathered in front of the TV.
"Just twenty minutes to go until the TV debut of Miss Mary of Uncertain Weather. According to the schedule, there's a special premiere tonight, so it'll be two episodes back-to-back."
Shimokawa was really looking forward to the new show.
He was already a loyal fan of the virtual streamer Mary-chan, having contributed countless clips of her livestreams online.
Lately, Mary-chan had gone viral on the internet, and the views on Shimokawa's clips had naturally skyrocketed as well.
Hidaka Kōryō happened to be a fan of Mary-chan too.
