Chapter 326: [World Is Mine]
"Mmm… Exercise is scary… Huh!?"
I suddenly wake up to find myself in my bed.
I realize someone is stroking my hair and turn to look.
《Oh, you're finally awake. Good morning, Iroha.》
《Mm, good morning. Wait, is it already morning?》
《You seemed really tired.》
《I see.》
Morning sunlight was streaming in through the window. It seems I have been asleep the whole time since I passed out yesterday.
…Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, that wasn’t just because of exhaustion!
I couldn’t sleep at all the night before because of Ah-nee!?《By the way, I can’t see Ah-nee anywhere. Where is she? The living room?》
Thanks to her, I missed a bunch of live streams from my favorites yesterday.
Damn it, what a blunder! I need to demand an apology for that over-the-top exercise stream and the ‘aftermath.'
《Anego has already returned to Japan.》
《What?》
《Well, she was only planning on staying for a short time anyway. The flight time came before you woke up.》
《…I see. She could’ve at least woken me up.》
Seriously, Ah-nee. Leaving quietly without saying anything?
When she's around, she’s noisy, but when she’s gone, I kind of miss her…
Sigh. She really is like a storm.
She stirs everything up and then disappears as if nothing happened.
《Anego said, “Let Iroha sleep.”》
《…Oh, really.》
《Don't sulk. You're just lonely.》
《Wha!? I-I’m not thinking that at all!》
《I’ve got a message for you.》
While insisting, “I’m not sulking,” I urge her to continue.
The message I was slightly hoping for was…
《“Iroha-chan, make sure to keep exercising even after I’m gone!” she said.》
《Guh!?》
《She also said, “I didn't think the tutorial would be all you could handle” and “When I played, it was so easy that I thought it would end quickly.”》
《Guh-foo!?》
Don't compare me to a stamina monster like you!
There are VTubers out there who can’t even skip properly!
《And she said, “Try to talk to or visit Mai as much as possible.”》
《Seems like Anego was pretty envious that only she got to meet Iroha this time.》
《…Yeah.》
《I’m serious. She was even joking, “After I get back to Japan, is Mai going to kill me? I’ve been feeling her gaze while I sleep lately.”》
《Y-yeah!?》
I could easily imagine Mai in a dark room, staring at Ah-nee with sick eyes as she slept.
I mean, we talk on the phone often.
And I’m planning to visit her soon.
I’ve got something important to do with her. Something very, very important…
《Well, Anego did bring back a souvenir, so I think it’ll be okay.》
《A souvenir? Oh, what did she buy?》
《Well, a picture of your sleeping face.》
《What!? Why'd she take that without permission!? And why would that be enough to appease Mai!?》
Well, Mai might forgive that. She probably would.
And if Ah-nee took a picture, that means…
《You definitely took a picture too, didn’t you!?》
《…Pi-hyoro~》
《I knew it! Hand over your phone! I’m deleting it right now!》
《N-no way! Besides, what's one or two pictures now…》
《Wait. Have you been secretly taking photos of me all along!?》
《Uh… Wh-what are you talking about?》
《You sneaky little…!》
When did Ah-nee and you even take those pictures…?
I guess it must’ve been after I passed out in the bathroom.
《Wait, hang on. Just to confirm… You took those pictures after dressing me, right? You must’ve, right?》
《…》
《Why are you silent!? I’m reporting both of you under the child pornography laws!》
《W-wait!? I-I made sure to cover the important parts!》
《So I was naked!? You pervert!》
《Waaah!? …Huh? What? Iroha’s usual whack isn’t coming?》
Angu Ogu, who was bracing herself for a hit, peeked through her closed eyelids, tilting her head.
I was lying in bed the whole time.
《…Help me up.》
《Huh?》
《I said, help me! I’m too sore to move! So help me up so I can be mad at you!》
《You’re making no sense!?》
《And you’re making dinner today! And carry me! And bring my phone, open MyTube, and play it!》
《You’re just being demanding! Jeez, what a spoiled princess you are!》
《I’m not a princess!》
《Yeah, yeah.》
After realizing I couldn’t move, I just gave up.
Usually, I’m the one taking care of Angu Ogu. It’s okay to be taken care of once in a while.
《Well, it’s fine. It’s rare for Iroha to be this clingy. It’s not a bad feeling.》
《I’m not being clingy…》
《Hmm… Poke.》
《Ouch!? Don’t poke me! It hurts because of the muscle soreness… Wait, what are you thinking?》
《I just realized Iroha can’t move right now.》
《Um… How about we calm down and talk this over?》
《Alright, Iroha. Leave everything to me today! I’ll take good care of you!》
《Sorry, I take it back. You don’t have to do anything… Nooo!?》
Angu Ogu’s idea of ‘taking care' was harsh in many ways.
Until I could move again, I was stuck being her plaything…
***
I finally escaped that muscle soreness hell.
The day for the stream I had planned a while ago had arrived. The content was…
“So today, we’ll be doing a language stream with Ilyena-chan~!”
