NOVEL NEXT Chapter 333
Finally finished my date with Yuyika and returned home.
It was already 9 PM.
To be honest, it was the perfect time to go live, but I was too exhausted from running around to have any energy left for a stream.
Of course, over half of that exhaustion came from Koharu’s overwhelming presence at the cafe…
Well, I was thinking about going live tonight, but since I hadn’t made any announcements, it shouldn’t matter if I didn’t.
Thinking that, I washed up and flopped onto my bed.
I had already eaten dinner, so I could just fall asleep like this…
“Mina.”
“Uh?”
I couldn’t.
Yuyika, with a slightly flushed face from just washing up, approached without saying a word and plopped down on my bed.
“We’re going to stream together now.”
“…Huh?”
It felt like I had heard that exact line earlier today.
“We’re going to stream together now.”
“No, it’s not that I didn’t hear you…”
Suddenly, we were going to stream together. I couldn’t wrap my head around what that meant.
“So… tonight, as a wrap-up for the day, we’ll stream together.”
But this seemed as confirmed as our date earlier.
“Are you talking about my stream?”
“Yep! Yuyika will be appearing on Mina’s VTuber stream tonight.”
“That’s a bit sudden…”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already asked for permission.”
“Wait, what?”
[Yuki Kayanoh: Is it okay for me to appear on Mina’s stream tomorrow?]
[Fujiye: Sounds good.]
[Yuki Kayanoh: Thank you!]
On the screen Yuyika showed me was a chat with our manager.
I had seen them exchange contacts when the three of us met, but she used that to get permission behind my back…?
Above all, it was MY stream, and Yuyika directly asking our manager was strange, right?
I wanted to protest, but I couldn’t say anything under her earnest gaze.
“And I’ve also received an avatar from Shia.”
“…Huh?!”
That was the moment I was most shocked today, to the point where I initially thought she was joking.
But the result displayed on Yuyika’s phone was no joke.
It was clearly Shia Aunt’s art style.
Her hair was a light brown braided bun, and my avatar’s signature silly hair had two tufts!
Her eyes were bright blue, unlike mine, complete with a teardrop underneath.
And the outfit was just a variation of my base outfit.
“Hmph~.”
Seeing Yuyika smugly snicker made me want to chuckle.
Upon reading the conversation with Shia, they had already completed the Live2D work.
“Are you planning to debut…?”
“No? I thought it would be fun to stream with Mina just this once.”
Just for such a trivial reason.
She had commissioned the Live2D work just for today?
Moreover, reading the conversation between Yuyika and Shia made it clear they didn’t do it for free; it seemed all the proper procedures were followed…
I knew Yuyika had drive once she set her mind on something, but I never expected it to be like this.
“Anyway, the wrap-up for today’s date will be streaming together.”
…I couldn’t refuse after seeing all that preparation.
In the end, I couldn’t turn down Yuyika’s proposal to stream together.
However…
“Yuyika.”
“Yeah?”
“If you ever need an avatar like this again, please, please, let me handle it.”
“…Why? Aren’t you busy too?”
I had learned all about Live2D techniques during my time living with Shia.
Of course, I was just a hobbyist, and I couldn’t compare to pro Shia, but I was confident I wasn’t useless.
Shia told me I was at least better than most people.
“I’m not a professional, so I can do it for free…”
“You can do it for free?”
“Um, it’s that, I know more about you than Shia does…”
Pfft!
“Wha-wha?!”
At my words, Yuyika threw herself onto me, wrapping me in a tight hug.
“Are you, by any chance, jealous, Mina? Huh? Are you upset that Aunt Shia drew my avatar?”
“It’s not that… I just thought I could do a better job than Shia…”
“Ugh, seriously!”
I firmly denied it, but for some reason, Yuyika seemed even happier, rubbing her cheek against mine.
This sis-con sister is so annoying!!!

[【Random Chat】It’s been a while since I streamed with Yuyika! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]
-─(≧▽≦)>Zumi Zumi!
-Oh, Anesu Zumi?!
Even before starting the stream, the chatroom was already buzzing.
Well, I had said before that I would never stream with Yuyika again.
So suddenly doing a stream with her without any announcement must surprise everyone.
“How fascinating.”
Yuyika’s avatar was smiling next to me.
It looked like she was shaking her body, finding it amazing that her avatar mirrored her movements.
“….”
That aside, this quality is too good just to use for today.
But I can’t keep Yuyika on my stream indefinitely, so it can’t be helped.
Even though I’m sad about it, this stream with Yuyika is definitely the last one.
“I’m going to start soon, Yuyika.”
“Okay.”
“Um… KonZumi~. The mood maker, Kainoh Izumi here…”
-Hi Zumi!
-Really streaming with Anesu Zumi?!
-Hurry and bring Anesu Zumi!!!
“Ah, right. I know you all are looking forward to it, so, um, let’s just start right away…”
With that, I manipulated the screen and activated Yuyika’s avatar.
And in the chatroom, it was.
-?!
-EEEEEHHHH?!
-Is Anesu Zumi debuting too???
-So cute!!!
-My head can’t keep up with this situation right now.
It felt more chaotic than ever.
Yeah, I understood that feeling because I felt the same way when I first saw Yuyika’s avatar.
“Everyone, I’m sorry, but please think of today as a special event… Anyway, Yuyika. Please say hello.”
“Okay. Long time no see, everyone.”
Despite it being her first time with a new avatar, Yuyika appeared completely composed.
Is she just used to being in front of the camera because of her modeling activities?
Well, unlike me, Yuyika is naturally social and wouldn’t find it awkward to talk to anyone.
I thought that this and that were completely different issues, but if that’s not the reason, there’s no explanation left.
-Is Anesu Zumi also from Toka Mama?
“Yep! Since Izumi and I are sisters, it’s only natural.”
“Well, you could say that’s obvious, but…”
“But Izumi said, ‘I get jealous when someone else draws my sister.’ So…”
“Huh?!”
-Does that mean even if it’s Toka Mama, she wouldn’t forgive it?
“Yes. Definitely a happy response as a sister, but it is a bit troublesome.”
“I never said that?!”
“Huh? You said, ‘I know more about my sister than Toka Mama.’ So they’re the same word, right?”
I absolutely thought those were different things, though?!
-These two are still total sis-cons, huh?
-This noble act has blinded me…
-From what I hear, those two do seem to say the same thing.
“Y-You’re wrong! They’re completely different things?!”
I tried protesting seriously, but for some reason, no one believed me.
