Awayuki Kokorone, a VTuber affiliated with Live-On who presents herself as ladylike, starts a livestream and begins to wrap up a few minutes later. Unbeknownst to her, she does not shut off the stream, giving viewers a glimpse to a candid and unreserved Awayuki who drinks and blurts out obscene remarks as she drunkenly watches her colleagues' livestreams, much to their delight. As she wakes up from a hangover, Awayuki is horrified to learn her livestream became a trending topic. She is however encouraged by her manager to take advantage of the newfound appeal, and Awayuki, reflecting on her slow channel growth, takes it in stride, setting up a collaboration with colleagues Sei Utsuki and Shion Kaminari.

Awayuki collaborates with her illustrator Mashiro Irodori, who takes surprise in seeing her candid side, as they read viewer-submitted questions. Awayuki also promises to Mashiro on holding alcohol-free days as they preview a new Live2D outfit for Awayuki to use. She is later roped in to an impromptu collaboration with Sei and Shion as they read questions and participate in karaoke sessions. After the collaboration, Awayuki recounts how discovering and applying for Live-On made her break out from working at a black company before heading home to stream a game, where she becomes enraged with its gameplay and breaks her microphone.

Live-On colleague Chami Yanagase calls Awayuki and offers her a microphone replacement and an invitation to visit her house. Awayuki agrees to the offer and visits her, where she realizes Chami is shy and nervous, and they start a stream soon after where Chami asks her for advice on socializing. Later on, Awayuki starts a stream, revealing her new outfit to her viewers and celebrating on getting monetized, and begins taking call-ins from her colleagues. Nekoma Hirune enters the call, though Awayuki hears the voice of Hareru Asagiri and assumes Nekoma is mimicking her, so she entertains to her absurd collaboration ideas but she agrees to all of them to her shock and leaves. Nekoma rejoins the call, leaving Awayuki confused, and realizes to her horror Hareru was the one actually agreeing to her ideas.
