most likely the little sisters friend, we see her shadowed face as the mc thinks about what her friend would think if she heard him stream and she's blonde.
Um, Imouto's friend (at least the on mentioned in the chapter) is actually not blonde.

"It hath come to mine attention that there seemeth to be a buzzing noise of some kind within this vicinity. Could this noise perchance originate from the vibrations produced by thy cellular device, Onii-chan?"

I mean, it is a bit more believable in Japan, in an urban area. I mean even taking away story conceits for location, they do live in what appears to be a section of Tokyo. So two college age streamers, one who goes to college and one who works in a cafe near a college, happen to run into each other. Notably the girl moved there for college. Weirder stuff has happened in the real world.

On the front of 'why can't they recognize their voices'? One, they probably put on a 'voice' and a 'persona' when streaming typically. We have had multiple VTubers where people just flat out don't recognize their voice like Pekora. Two, there is a real case that people will forgo evidence because obvious X can't be Y, it'd just be unrealistic. Besides that, it isn't like they are together all the time as their Streamer selves anyway. It is a bit odd, since it appears they've only been paired up once before the manga's start, so they haven't interacted much online anyway.
Helps when the metro area they live in has a population of 10 million+ and is the undisputed economic center of the country

Oni-chan's and Ayaya's exchange on Twoder reminds me of v-tubers doing the same, throwing salt at each other something.

I don't know what it is about two people grilling each other showing their closeness, but I don't know if I could ever get like that without coming off too much like an asshole. Already difficult enough as it is having a 'resting bitch face' on the daily.

You can't break kayfabe. Streamers like Dr. Disrespect (pre-humiliation & cheating arc) and Low Tier God are only famous because of the persona they've crafted, if they turned out to be normal, well adjusted dudes they probably wouldn't have the following they do.

There is a catch here in that MC is actually entertaining enough to his audience just being himself but he's not confident enough to believe that, and genuinely thinks he has to keep up appearances to stay relevant.
The fans are entirely just treating him like a tsundere now.
He still can't grasp the concept of 'gap moe'

I'd still call it a stretch. Even setting aside that they could stream from all over Japan (or earth) Tokyo is ridiculously ginormous both in size and population, depending on the metric the currently largest city on the planet. The larger metropolitan area has more inhabitants than the entire state of California (being the biggest of the U.S. by population) or if you prefer a European comparison about as many as the country of Poland.

Look, fiction has to be believable. Reality doesn't. I met a classmate before after taking a year off, going to a small college, in a computer programming intro class. Sure I was in the same state, but we could have been anywhere with no guarantee everyone else was going to be there.

If you want something even more wild in history: The US Civil wars first 'real' battle was the Battle of Bull Run at Manassas, Virginia, and had the Confederacy headquarter in the house of Wilmer McLean. Sometime after the battle Wilmer McLean moved to Appomatox, Virginia. . . where later Robert E. Lee headquartered and then surrendered ending the US Civil War's military actions.

You can find a lot of coincidences that sound like they should be fictional, because really what are the chances that the man and his family would see what was effectively the start and end of US Civil War. We can go through a lot, like the man who survived both atomic bombs dropped in WW2. Hitler, Stalin, and Trotsky all visited the same cafe, Cafe Central, in Vienna during the same year they all lived there. So there is a great chance that Hitler and Trotsky, and to a lesser extent Stalin, ran into each other without knowing it on that same street or in the same coffee house.

So yes, it is a stretch, but the real world can also get real weird.
