Chapter 225: [Secret Relationship]
The day when Ah-nee and I caught a cold, on that night.
Increasing the number of patients would be counterproductive.
So, the decision was made that Ah-nee and I would use separate beds.
By now, Mai and Angu Ogu must be sleeping together on the living room sofa.
In other words, Im alone in my room now.
Ugh, cant sleep.
Since waking up in the middle of the night, I found it hard to fall asleep.
The room is so silent that even my own breathing seems to echo.
Sigh. Ive been affected quite a bit too.
Until the day before yesterday, Angu Ogu would always be by my side when I slept.
Since Ah-nee and Mai arrived, every day has been quite chaotic.
So, this unusually quiet environment felt unsettling rather than calming.
Even though I used to wish for quiet when everyone was around.
Checking the clock in the faint moonlight, I sighed.
Everyone must be asleep by this time.
I never thought there would come a time when Id feel like this.
Im yearning for someone to be by my side.
No, no, it must be just a momentary weakness.
Probably because I caught a cold and became a bit pessimistic.
At such times, one tends to long for human presence.
Huh!? Wait, is this what they call ASMR streaming for situations like this!?
I felt a sudden revelation, as if struck by lightning.
After all, theres no other streaming that makes me feel so close to my favorite.
And with my favorite around, theres no time to feel sad.
Indeed, VTubers always guide me to the answers!
Since Im here, lets enjoy the hidden situation voices were available for download.
With newfound determination, I reached for my smartphone.
Click.
The sound of the door opening echoed.
I quickly withdrew my hand and pretended to be asleep.
That was close, dangerously close.
If I had been a bit slower, I might have been scolded for not resting properly.
After all, my favorite has a healing effect!
Ive been saying that for a long time, but still, no one believes me.
I stared at her response
It really doesnt seem like thats the case.
Sorry, Ah-nee. It seems my mind was corrupted by Mai and Angu Ogu!
Or maybe its all their fault.
Because of them, I misunderstood and thought it was going in that direction.
But wait.
Ah-nee is the same as me, huh?
Alright.
Huh?
Everyone has days when they feel that way occasionally.
Maybe its because Ah-nee, who is usually carefree, experiences a strong reaction in the opposite direction.
So
Its fine if you lean on me. However
Only when were alone, okay?
?!?!?!
I whispered to Ah-nee. Obviously, I didnt want a repeat of yesterdays incident in front of Mai and Angu Ogu.
It could lead to misunderstandings, and its troublesome for everyone including me.
So, only when were alone.
Thats what I meant, but
Al-alone?! A-ah, a-awawawa Kyuuun.
Ah-nee? Ah-neeee~!?
Ah-nee fainted, her eyes rolling back.
Why all of a sudden!? Maybe shes still not feeling well!?
Thanks to the door being left open, my scream reached them.
The hurried footsteps of two people approached.
Iroha-chan~!? W-w-what happened!?
Iroha, what on earth is going on!?
Mai and Angu Ogu appeared and then froze.
I hurriedly sought their help.
Mai, Ogu! Im glad you came! Actually, Ah-nee suddenly fainted!
Why is onee-chan in Iroha-chans room?
And why are you pinning down Anego?
Ah.
Iroha-chan~? Iroha~?
Calm down. Im sick Gyaaaah!?
That day, we were severely scolded by the landlady for being a nuisance to the neighborhood.
