Chapter 99.3 - SS 3

SS 3. [Christmas ~ Anego's Side]

<<Cheers!>>

Angu Ogu was enjoying the dishes and drinks she had prepared herself. She laughed and said, <<This kind of junky Christmas is not bad!>>

I joined in by eating chicken and washing it down with a carbonated drink. That's just perfect. That's how it should be!

<<And now, it's about time. Our first guest is.>>

Angu-Ogu must have operated the screen, as a character portrait appeared.

Immediately, people could hear a lively voice.

"Nice to meet you all! I'm Anegasaki Monet, everyone's big sister!"

>I love you, Ane-go! (U.S.)

>I love you, Ane-gaaaah! (U.S.)

>Were you in the middle of a singing relay!? (U.S.)

<<So, our first guest is Anego. Thanks for coming!>>

"Okay, okay! That's great! Merry Christmas-nee!"

<<Merry Christmas, Anego!>>

"Mm-hm-hm!"

Ah-nee nodded in satisfaction.

And then, immediately.

"Well, I'll leave now-nee. It's my turn for the singing relay after this. Oh, and if the English-speaking folks are interested, come and watch-nee!"

<<What?! Did you just come here to promote yourself? Geez, you're already cutting out>>

>Hilarious! (U.S.)

>It's like a storm passing through. (U.S.)Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

>At this pace, you could invite 100 guests, lol. (U.S.)

<<Ahh, well, it's just the next guest will be the last one.>>

>?!?!?! (U.S.)

>Oh! (U.S.)

>Could it be that she h a lot of connections with people? (U.S.)

<<Enough! Enough! Anyway, when the next guest is ready, please come in. I'm sorry it's earlier than expected.>>

"Huh?! Cough, cough!"

I choked unexpectedly.

Angu Ogu sent a message saying, <<Help me!>>

I had been careless thinking there was still time.

I hurriedly chewed and swallowed the chicken.

Angu Ogu burst into laughter.

<<Cough, cough! Are you bringing that up again!?>>

<<Well, I heard in America, it's normal to spend Christmas with family if I remember. In Japan, it's more like New Year's.>>

Therefore, most VTubers residing in America don't live stream on Christmas Day.

>Ah (U.S.)

>Actually, I'm having dinner with my family. (U.S.)

>I'm watching this stream while eating dinner too. (U.S.)

<<How annoying! What's wrong with being alone?>>

Angu Ogu snapped.

Through my headphones <<Gulp, gulp Puhah~! >>, I hear the sound of her drinking heavily and biting into a piece of chicken.

<<I live alone in my hometown, and I don't have any plans. It can't be helped if I'm alone, right? Plus, it's a day to spend with family, so none of my fellow VTubers are coming!>>

<<Oh>>

Come to think of it, when she stayed in Japan during summer vacation, she mentioned something like that. Something about not getting along well with her family or something.

<<Then, Iroha, is it nice to be with family?>>

<<Ah, at my place, I've always been alone on Christmas Eve and Christmas.>>

My mother is very busy at work this time of year, so I'll be alone on the day.

So I'll be alone on the day.

<<Well, I see. Iroha, you too >>

>I see. Iroha, don't cry (U.S).

>We're here for you!

>Alright, let's make some noise tonight! (U.S.)

<<Huh?>>

Well, at my home, we just shift the schedule, but we still have a Christmas party, you know?

That's why today, we can enjoy the Christmas livestream without any worries in real time.

It's a perfect win-win situation, but wait a minute.

Is there some kind of misunderstanding!?

<<Um>>

<<Alright, Iroha! What kind of dishes did you prepare? Look, everyone! In Japan, it's all about cake and fried chicken, right?>>

Our conversation was derailed.

Well, whatever. She must be feeling lonely. I'll accompany her for a little while.

It turns out that my initial thought was a mistake.
