Chapter 287: [Netflix And Chill] |
"Oh↑, I’ve been caught↑"
"B-Banchou…"
Banchou, who was secretly trying to make a naughty promise using slang, says this nonchalantly.
I collapse in front of my computer.
"Iroha, you need to learn to doubt people a bit!? You’re always too defenseless!"
"Ugh…"
"Also, the guy who commented on my boobs earlier. Remember this."
≫Ah, crap…
≫Oh man, I'm dead lol
"You won’t!? By the way, Ogu. You had a full day of recording today, right? Is it over?"
"I worked super hard and finished super fast!"
"Heh. Was there a stream you wanted to watch?"
"Don't base things on you!? As if I’d… Sigh."
≫Don’t mind, Ogu lol
≫She worked so hard just to be with Iroha for even a second
≫Iroha won’t get it unless you say it clearly
"…Is that so? You rushed back because you wanted to see me?"
"Wha!? Who asks so straightforwardly!? You expect me to say that!?"
"Ogu… Could you please prioritize recording properly? It’s presumptuous for just a fan to say this, but…"
"Youuuuuuuu!?"
≫It’s funny how she understands but rejects her
≫Iroha prioritizes “Ogu's stream > Ogu herself”
≫That’s Iroha for you… (U.S.)
"…But, thank you."
"Ungh!? Cough, cough!?"
≫Huh!? (U.S.)
≫Did Iroha just get all shy!?
≫Is this a sign of the apocalypse?
"Oh my~"
"Iroha, in public!?… Uh, Senpai! I’m still not forgiving you!"
"By the way↑, ‘Senpai’ in America means ‘older person you like’↑ It’s so funny↑ I have a promise with Irohaneki too, but Ogu thinks her way↑"
"Ogu, you're cheating too."
"No!? I only love Iroha the most!"
"What?"
"Ah, no!? That’s not…”
Ogu glances at me. Her cheeks are red.
I also feel a bit embarrassed. My face is hot.
"Am I↑ maybe↑ intruding↑?"
"Shut up, Banchou!"
"Oh↑ no longer Senpai↑"
"And the ‘Netflix’ promise with Iroha is invalid! I won’t give Iroha to anyone!"
≫Ogu’s love for Iroha is spilling out lol
≫It feels like their relationship is really getting closer lately (U.S.)
≫Is the ring a real deal? Invite me to the wedding. I’ll definitely attend.
"That’s not what this is about!?"
It's getting more complicated!? There’s no backing out now.
And now, it’s really time to wrap up.
"Well↑, today I got to make Irohaneki say lots of embarrassing things, so I’m very satisfied↑ This is my↑ ‘Big Win’↑"
"I’m done with this!?"
"So↑, thank you for watching↑ everyone↑… Sabiyo ‘Onara’"
"Wait, even at the very end!?"
And so, the [NSFW] stream with Banchou came to an end.
After confirming the connection was properly cut, I spoke.
"…Thank you for your hard work, Banchou."
"Likewise↑, good job↑ Thanks for the collab today↑"
"No, no. It was ten times harder than I imagined!"
"Ahaha↑ Sorry about that↑… Uh↑, By the way↑, Irohaneki↑ You mentioned during the stream that your tests are in trouble, right↑?"
"Eh? Well, if I don’t get good scores on the next tests, I might be banned from gaming."
"Then↑, how about I tutor you↑?"
"Really!? Is that okay!?"
Banchou is an elite.
Well, she aimed for a high level of education because she didn’t want to work!
Her career is impressive in many ways.
She went to a normal university. But she didn’t want to job hunt, so she started a company.
She told her parents she got a job offer from that company.
In reality, she lived off part-time jobs and started a NEET life.
But it became harder to keep up the pretense.
Desperate not to get a job, she started studying intensely.
She entered a super elite university.
She’s a super elite or a super NEET.
"Leave it to me↑ I’m confident in enjoying the moratorium to the fullest↑"
"Wow, thank you! Please, teach me!"
I didn’t expect the study problem to be solved from such an unexpected source.
Truly, having a VTuber friend is the best!
"Then↑, I’ll be Irohaneki’s study ‘advisor’↑ Though↑ it doesn’t mean ‘asshole doctor’↑"
"I know that!"
"I’ll send you the schedule later↑"
"Okay. See you later."
Finally, a joke about how English speakers don’t understand Japanese “elongation” ends the call.
Then, I felt a piercing gaze from next to me.
《What is it, Ogu?》
《…You’re not actually planning to cheat with Banchou, right?》
《Of course not!?》
What even is cheating, what’s cheating!
Ogu and I aren’t even dating!
..At least not yet.
"Seriously. Huh?"
I looked away from Ogu’s exasperated face and noticed.
A huge number of messages had arrived.
"Ugh!?"
The senders were Mai, Ah-nee, and Ilyena.
I felt a strong sense of impending trouble.
