Chapter 105. [The Strongest Helpers]

“[Talent is not necessary for success. Luck is what matters.]”

That’s what I was reminded of Ah-nee.

The collaborative stream with Ilyena ignited public opinion.

People created clips with subtitles, and it got spread rapidly.

It must have reached the eyes of almost everyone who usually watches VTubers and even those who don’t usually watch them.

“Now is the chance. It can work.”

Once again, I approached various VTubers.

Not only the overseas VTubers who had initially refused, but even VTubers residing in Japan started cooperating with information dissemination.

They must have sensed the shift in trends.

Even VTubers who have no connection with me were voluntarily spreading the information.

“Ah, damn it! But we don’t have enough time or manpower!”

The situation has changed, but many VTubers are still cautious.

I want to encourage them, but there are limits to what I can do alone.

Amidst the busyness, while contacting here and there.

“Ah-nee-chan, here she comes!”

“Aah-nee!? Entering my room without permission again! You’re not my sister, you know!?”

“Don’t worry about the details.”

Perhaps it’s because I had Ah-nee’s line in my head. The person herself appeared.

She was carrying a laptop in her arms.

“I’ll borrow your cable. And the power source. So, what should I do, nee-chan?”

“Huh? Can you help? Aren’t your agency prohibited you from getting involved in political issues?”

“What are you talking about? It’s only prohibited to talk about it during the stream. Helping like this is allowed!”

No, it isn’t allowed.

I don’t care if they get mad at you later, okay?

But having more hands on deck is genuinely appreciated!

It’s appreciated, but.

“Even if Ah-nee is here, there’s not much I can ask for help with.”

“Eeeeh!? I thought I was the complete savior right now! I timed it perfectly, thinking, ‘[Now] is the moment!’!”

“You were waiting outside the door, huh? No wonder the timing was too perfect!… Sigh~. But, hey, you know?”

Since what I streamed was within my time slot, it has already been widely spread among VTuber watchers in Japan.

What’s lacking is information dissemination overseas.

The people I’m currently contacting are mostly overseas VTubers.

And nee-chan’s foreign language skills are abysmal.

“Boo-boo! I came all the way to help, but fine, I get it. I’m good! I’m doing my best!”

“Even if you pout like that…”

Why is it?

Though there shouldn’t be a significant change in capabilities, my heart feels much lighter.

Ah, I’m getting irritated!

Even though she hasn’t done anything, why does her presence make me feel so reassured? Ah, A-nee is amazing!

“Hello? Ah, yes, this is Anegasaki, Monet Anegasaki. Nice to meet you. Oh, really? That’s true! The snacks there are delicious. Have you seen that? By the way–”

[….]

Hey, she started casually chatting on a call next to me! Give back my slightly happy heart!

I want to complain and say something, but I don’t have the time for that now. Besides, it was me who said there was nothing for her to do.

Then, I heard a notification sound from my PC.

It seemed like another VTuber I had contacted had responded.

<Yes, hello. This is Iroha. Thank you for contacting me. Yes, yes. I see. No, I also don’t want to force anyone.>

<I’m sorry. Thank you for your help, and I wanted to cooperate, but still…>

However, this time it wasn’t good news. It happens sometimes. When I was about to give up and end the call, she tapped my shoulder.

“What’s up, Ah-nee, aren’t you done with your chat? I’m on a call right now, so I can’t let go.”

I signaled that I temporarily muted my microphone.

But A-nee mouthed the words.

[Give…it…to…me.]

She reached out her hand, but I ignored her.

I was about to go to the call, thinking she was disturbing me, but…

“Ah! Hey!”

“Hey! Moshimoshi! I’m Anegasaki Monet. Nice to meet you! Anegasaki Moneti! Hello, hello!”

She took away my headphones.

I tried to retrieve them, but she held me back with one hand.

“Nggh… I can’t reach!”

I couldn’t reach her no matter how hard I tried due to the difference in reach.

This small body is so frustrating.

And wait, A-nee isn’t speaking any English at all!

Moreover, the other person isn’t even from an English-speaking country!

Please. Just stop!

“Give it… give it back, you grrrrrrrr!”

I even stood up from my gaming chair for streaming and jumped around, but it was no use.

Ah, if it continues like this, it will inconvenience the other person!

“Here.”

After about a minute, she returned the headphones to me.

I hurriedly put them back on and apologized.

<I’m sorry! Ah-nee caused you trouble! What just happened–.>

<Iroha-san. I will cooperate with you with all my heart and soul.!!!!>

Why did her opinion suddenly change 180 degrees?
