Chapter 224: [Caught In The Heat]
The fireworks illuminated the two of us.
Closing my eyes, I was captivated by Ah-nee, waiting patiently for her response.
Gulp.
Unintentionally, my throat made a sound.
No! What am I thinking?
My affection is solely for the VTuber Anegasaki Monet.
Even now, I believe in maintaining the boundary between fan and subject.
Nevertheless, when I watch Ah-nee, I feel an intense tightness in my chest.
It seems Im becoming drawn not only to her as a VTuber but also as a person.
Iroha-chan
Ah-nee
Gradually, our faces drew closer.
I couldnt understand my own feelings.
My mind wasnt functioning properly.
It was as if I were caught in a fever, feeling dazed.
Ha, A
Ah-nees breath touched my lips.
Intensely hot.
Iroha-chan, about you
Ah-nee, I also
I slowly closed my eyes.
In the silence, the sound of fireworks echoed louder than ever.
-Achoo!!!
Ah-nee sneezed loudly.
Her nose was running.
At a time like this!?
I was about to complain that she ruined the atmosphere, but then I noticed.
A sneeze?
Ah-nee, let me borrow your forehead for a moment.
Huh?
I brushed Ah-nees bangs aside and lightly bumped foreheads with her.
This wouldnt precisely measure her body temperature.
But even so.
Its hot!? Ah-nee, youre really hot!
Ah-nee seemed perfectly fine.
I thought things might take a turn for the worse, but with this, its a bit of a relief.
She murmured softly.
Id like to scold the two who caused this absurd misunderstanding.
But accidentally reading their lips and knowing the content, Ill refrain from questioning them.
Ugh~. What about the planned live stream~, and the filming~?
You can do those once youre feeling better. Also, thats not filming, its achoo!
I sniffled and tilted my head.
Somehow, I feel a bit under the weather too.
I took out the thermometer and checked.
Ah, I see.
I seem to have caught Ah-nees infection.
I sighed in relief.
It wasnt just Ah-nee who was acting strangely at that time.
But, in a different sense, I was also caught in the heat.
Not falling in love, but just babbling due to a fever.
It must be that.
Otherwise, I might have really started to feel something for Ah-nee.
No, no, no. Absolutely not. Wait, what!?
Are you okay with the cold, Iroha-chan~!? Lie down right away~!
Rest, Iroha! Well take care of you!
Mai and Angu Ogu approached me with tremendous force.
Th-these guys
Mai and Angu Ogu, your reactions are too similar to when Ah-nee was sick, arent they?
Well~ Its like We still cant believe that big sis caught a cold.
Could it be that if its Anego, shell be fine in no time, right?
Ah, this is more about deeds than likability.
Show more concern for onee-chan~!
Ah-nee half-cried and shouted. I gave a wry smile.
It happened that night.
Iroha, chan.
Ah-nees breath tickled my ear.
The bed creaked.
My heart was pounding loudly.
