After starting their own VTuber agency, xyuro, Nate and Nishant gathered in front of the whiteboard at her house.
"Alright guys, now that we created our VTuber agency... From now on, I am now your manager, so I'll be handling everything, including your activities.", xyuro asked Nate and Nishant.
"Wait, Yuro. You don't have to do all of this on your own. Besides, me and Nisha will handle our activities on our own while you do your best to support us when you can as our manager.", Nate told her.
He then smiled and said, "You're welcome, manager Yuro. In any way, we're always here to help."
Soon, they started talking about their agency and activities until they agreed on doing a stream together to celebrate the founding of the agency itself by Sunday.
After Nate and Nishant went back home, it was already in the middle of the night.
While xyuro was minding her own business, she received a call from Nate at the last minute.
"Hey Yuro-chan, there's something that I forgot to tell you and Nisha about.", he tells her.
"What is it, Nate?"
"I'll be putting a hold on my VTuber activities for a while because I'm going back to Finland for my military service even though I grew up in Japan for the first 11 years of my life."
"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier that day before you and Nisha went back home together?"
"I don't know, but I was preoccupied with a lot of stuff going on with my life so I couldn't tell you and Nisha about it earlier before he and I left. Let me explain what I had said to you first."
Nate tells her that although his father was from Germany, his mother was from Finland and that he received an email from the Finnish embassy about his military service, before reassuring her that he'll still be sending her letters from time to time when he can.
After talking for a while, they bid farewell over the phone before he hung up the phone.
xyuro decides to share the news with Nishant through text messages, who had no idea about Nate's military service and they both talked about the situation for a while before postponing the date of their first stream together under their new agency to a few days after Nate was discharged from the military.
Nishant then sends her a message, "So, talking about our colleague moving to Finland for his military service, remember your other friend Niels?"
"Yeah. He told me that he's leaving for Norway due to family reasons 9 months ago. Apparently, he's currently serving in his country's army. Let's hope that they are doing well.", xyuro responded.
"Indeed.", Nishant texted back.
Eventually, everyone fell asleep that day.
The next day, after xyuro finished her classes and just as she was about to leave the campus, her friend Kamran walks over behind her and says to her "Hey, wait! Don't leave, my friend. I have something to tell you about."
She looked back and said, "Oh okay. Kamran, are you done with your classes as well and what is it about?"
"Yeah, but I'll tell you about it later when we get home.", he told her.
Later that evening, after they both got home from college, xyuro was minding her own business, when she received a text message from Kamran about something he wanted to tell her about.
Turns out, he wanted to go out on a date with her again, this time to enjoy a concert of their favorite singer DJ Shams in her hometown and she agreed to his proposal.
A few minutes later, he showed up at the entrance door of the house, this time wearing nothing but a hooded tracksuit with a saddlebag on it, complete with a balaclava and sports sunglasses covering his face, before she opened the door.
She said, "Hey Kamran, but why are you dressed like these robbers?"
"It's because I want to protect you from one of these robbers and make sure that they get what they deserve in case if one of them hurts you."
She thanked him and they both headed outside to the parking lot near the pizzeria, where they saw DJ Shams performing his latest song "Green Summer" in Arabic on stage in front of the other people and ended up having a great time enjoying the concert.
After DJ Shams signed everybody's autographs, it was just him, xyuro and Kamran.
He then asks the two of them, "Hey, what's your name? My name is Younis."
"I'm xyuro.", xyuro responded.
"I'm Farshad, but you can call me by Kamran or Shawqi.", Kamran replied.
Younis nodded and said, "I see, so where are you guys from?"
"I'm from France."
"Cool. I'm from Saudi Arabia, but can I ask your friend Farshad about something in Persian?", Younis asked her, who then nodded yes to him.
He asks Kamran in Persian, "Hey Farshad, are you from Iran?"
"Yeah, I'm from Kermanshah.", he replied in the same language as him.
"I see. My dad's from Sanandaj and he moved to Tehran where he met and married my mom before they both fled to Saudi Arabia with my older brother Behrouz after the terrorists took over our country."
"That's terrible. I feel bad for you both, but at least you're fine despite all of this going on.", xyuro said.
After Younis and Kamran talked with each other for a while in Persian, the former told xyuro and the latter that he has to leave for his home, before he exchanged his contact information with them and parted ways with them.
Now, they were left with nothing but each other.
Kamran stared at xyuro and told her "Well, since it's just the two of us now, shall we crash at your neighbor's house?"
"Sure, but after that, I would like to go back home.", xyuro answered.
"Oh, okay. Let's go then.", he smiled.
Soon, they were at her neighbor's house, where she saw him in his tracksuit without the balaclava and sports sunglasses covering his head while also sitting in the couch and watching TV together.
After the episode of the show ended, xyuro turned off the TV with the remote and he told her that he had a surprise for her.
She immediately confused and said, "What kind of surprise is it, Shawqi?"
Kamran whispered to her ear in French, "It's a secret, my dear... You'll see it by the time we get to the bed."
As soon as they got to the bed, he unzipped his jacket, partially revealing his shirtless torso.
He told her, "Shall we do this again? It's going to be fun unlike last time, okay?"
"Yes.", xyuro responded.
After they both agreed, he grabbed a love glove out of his saddlebag and put it on himself before they slept together.
After everything was over between them and they were almost done talking to each other on the pillow, while Kamran was already asleep, xyuro woke up and quickly got dressed in a boubou before grabbing her phone and belongings.
As soon as she tried to get out of the bed with some of her belongings, he woke up and looked at her before grabbing her right wrist.
"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?", he asked her.
"My house.", xyuro responded in Swahili.
Feeling relieved, he said, "I see. Can you spend some time with me for a while?"
"Ok", she nodded.
She got back to the bed, and towards the end of their conversation that they continued upon him waking up, xyuro asks Kamran if he could be her boyfriend for a week to which he agreed and tells him that she wanted to go back to her house.
Upon hearing what she had said to him earlier, he quickly got dressed in his tracksuit and carried her with her belongings all the way to her house.
After putting her phone and cosplay costume in one of the shelves opposite her bed, he placed her in her bed and kissed her right cheek.
"Good night, my love.", Kamran said to her, before leaving her behind and going back to his house.
The next day, while on campus, during their break, xyuro and her colleague Nizar were hanging out at the patio and having a conversation with each other at one of the benches.
"So, how was the concert with your man last night?", Nizar asked her.
She smiled and said, "It was great and we had a lot of fun alongside our favorite DJ Younis."
"Ah, I see, let's go to class anyway.", he replied.
After their classes was over, xyuro was at home and watching DJ Shams' concert on her phone, when she received a notification from the group chat she created with Nate and Nishant.
She opened the group chat, and saw a picture of Nate at the airport and him holding a Finnish passport containing his flight ticket, accompanied with a text message, saying "I'm going back to Finland. See you next time, my friends."
xyuro and Nishant reacted to his message with a waving emoji.
Later that afternoon, while she was having a solo study session at her house, she heard someone knocking on the door and went over to open the door, only to find Nishant.
She lets him in before they both watched DJ Shams' concert on her phone.
"Wow, I remember seeing you there with your man before at this concert last night, right?", Nishant said to xyuro.
"Yeah, but nothing feels the same without our colleague Nate, since he left for Finland and we had to postpone our first stream together to celebrate our agency's founding because of this.", xyuro sighed.
"Indeed, Yuro. In the meantime, while we wait for his return, how about we focus on other things to do in this agency instead, including my first stream under our agency?", Nishant replied with excitement.
"That sounds like a cool idea, Nisha.", she responded to him.
2 hours later, after his first stream under their agency ended, xyuro and Nishant waved goodbye, with him heading back to his house.
In the evening, xyuro receives a voice message on her phone, this time it came from none other than her new boyfriend Kamran, who had watched Nishant's stream and congratulated her on starting her own VTuber agency.
"Yuro, you are the actual rose of Isfahan that we were looking for in your previous dream."
She responded by text, "Thanks, Shad. You're so kind."
"You too. Oh, can I hear your voice?", he replied by voice.
She sends him a voice message, and he complimented her voice in Persian.
"Thanks", she responded back.
"You're welcome", he replied.
"Anyways, you were amazing last night, and I can't wait to see you in campus tomorrow!", he continued.
"Me too!", she texted.
Afterwards, they moved on to other stuff and after a brief phone call to end the day, they both fell asleep.
It was during that time that xyuro woke up in yet another strange dream, this time in a completely different environment from her last dream in Isfahan.
Will xyuro somehow manage to survive in this somewhat strange dream world while also trying her best to keep the promise of having a temporary relationship with her new boyfriend Kamran? Find out next time in Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi Season 2!
