CH 19

Chapter 19. [Summer! Pool! Introvert!]

It’s been a few days since Angguogu returned to Japan.

He has finally gotten used to his life of homework, summer classes, video distribution, and watching videos, and had a peaceful summer vacation, but not yet.

Every day during this summer vacation, including my previous life, has been extremely turbulent.

Then one day.

[Iroha, don’t you want to go to the pool?]

“No.”

I suddenly get a call like that from Ah-nee.

Don’t underestimate indoor activities. Who would go all the way to a place like that? I’m thinking, “I don’t want to go to the pool.”. And then someone opened the room door with a bang.

“What?”

“I’m here to pick you up! Okay, let’s go!”

“NOOOO! Help me, mom! I’m going to get kidnapped!”

“Haha, Irohamama, out, isn’t she? Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve got her permission. Let’s see, here’s your swimsuit and towel, right? Okay.”

“Somebody help me!”

There was no way I could win by force, so I was dragged away and thrown into a cab.

And so Ah-nee took me to a large leisure pool facility.

They had a rendezvous, and Ah-nee approached the group, waving her hands.

“What, wait? I didn’t hear anything about this. Ah-nee, aren’t we alone?”

“What are you talking about? It’s a VTuber’s offline meeting today, right?”

“Yeeeeeeeesssssss?”

＊　　＊　　＊

I lay down by the pool and cried.

I saw the 3D bodies of several of my oshi.

I mean, it’s like it’s normal to see them in real life already.

“Damn Ah-nee. It’s not [What? I thought you’d already met your oshi]. How can I already meet them?

“Oh, ……, uh. Iroha-chan. Right ……? Heh, heh, uh, what are you doing?”

“……!”

One of the VTubers, whom I met for the first time today, calls out to me.

I look around in a panic, spot Ah-nee, and hide behind her back. I can’t break any more boundaries as a fan ……!

“Oh no, …… she got away from me.”

“Haha, I’m sure she’s just embarrassed. Iroha-chan is so cute. She’s so attracted to you. She loves Anego~”.

“Oh no, I’m so embarrassed!”

“No, I’m not!”

It was an utterly heartbreaking misunderstanding.

But seeing such an exchange, the VTubers gathered around.

Ugh……, I’m in trouble.

Surrounded by girls like this, I don’t know what to look at.

But I can’t give an evil eye to my oshi..!

I’m in trouble. I looked at Anego.

I felt calm. It’s working. That’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s like when you’re in a rage, you think of your mother’s face and admonish yourself.

“Cute! She looked at Anego as if I was asking for help. That’s surprising~ because I had an image of her as a firm man when she streamed. I didn’t know she’s such a cutie outside of the stream.”

It was disappointing.

Ah-nee also said, “Oh, you found out? That’s right. Iroha-chan likes me too much!” When did I ever act like that?

Even though.

To be honest, I was surprised.

“I don’t mean to be rude, but you guys also do this cheerful event, don’t you? I thought you guys were not good at outdoor activities like swimming pools.”

“””Ah, ……, yeah.”””

Everyone looked away at once.

Only Ah-nee was puffing out her chest.

I guessed it. Everyone else was a victim of her, just like me.

One of the VTubers, perhaps trying to change the mood, shouted, “Ke, but! I said.

“It’s fun to come here, isn’t it? And a pool, too!”

“Yes, it is! I thought it was a haven for jokers! It’s the first time in my life that I’ve been to a pool with friends, but it’s so much fun!”

“”””Ah.”””

“I was worried about my swimsuit too since I bought it 10 years ago, but I’m glad I got to wear it~! At that time, when I went to the meeting place, everyone in the class was gone!”

“”””Ah”””

“Oh no, this is fun! When I used to come to places like this, I used to play by counting how many people passed through the flowing pool, but when I come with my friends, there are other fun things to do–mugh!””””

“That’s enough, that’s enough ……, no more.”

“?????”

One of the VTubers stopped talking after the too-sad shady episodes.

She didn’t seem aware that it was black history and tilted her head strangely.

I couldn’t help but say, “Ugh”. My tears were about to spill out.

I made up my mind, stepped out of Ah-nee’s shadow, and approached her. I had more important things to do than to be proud to be a fan.

I take her hand and speak to her.

“Let’s play together. See? You are not alone. We are already friends!”

All the VTubers who had come along cried.

I tilted my head and said, “What? Why are you all crying? I don’t know, but yeah, let’s play!” He seemed happy.

A midsummer pool.

There is a story of friendship and emotion… “Buekkuson!”.

“Ah, Zorry. I got a runny nose. Okay, everyone, let’s go out for dinner, shall we? I’m getting cold. I want ramen!”

“Anego……””””””

We stared at her and then laughed.

I don’t know if she’s unaware of it or if she’s doing it on purpose.

With a smile, as if she wasn’t thinking, she led everyone to the food stand.

We ate, swam, and rode the water slides. We continued to enjoy the pool without a break.

＊　　＊　　＊

I came home exhausted from playing.

My mom is not home yet.

I started the stream and reported to all the viewers what happened.

>I’m too jealous!

>There’s too much teetee!

>Anego is still the same LOL.

I’ve gotten used to this life a lot.

A month has passed since I started streaming, and.

“Ah! I forgot to stream the 1 month anniversary of my debut!”

>Wow, you finally realized it.

>I didn’t realize it had already been a month.

>Rather, it’s only been a month.

>I thought I saw the 100,000 subscribers commemorative distribution because you had done it. www

>Isn’t this a huge number of subscribers in a month?

>It’s almost all thanks to Anego.

Wow, I did it.

Ah-nee said, “Be proactive about the commemorative events. Don’t forget the most recent one is the 1 month anniversary!” That is going to piss me off. ……!

No, wait, I’m talking about Ah-nee.

If she was going to point it out, she would have done so by now.

In other words, the fact that she didn’t point it out was out of her concern and consideration.

Recently, she’s been busy with summer school and the arrival of Angu-ogu and other things. No, she hasn’t. Oh, Ah-nee must have forgotten about this.

“Well, I know it’s late, but I’m going to do the 1-month anniversary stream tomorrow!”

> 1-month anniversary stream. (Not 1 month)

>What are you going to do for the anniversary?

>Song stream? Is it finally a song stream? You’re singing a song, right?

“I’ll sing a song–sen! No song, but I’ve got something ready that everyone wanted, and I’m going to announce it.”

A guessing contest was held in the chats.

Some of them were correct, but I’ll keep it a secret.

Don’t start a comedy contest in the chats.
