Chapter 346: [VTuber Genius Education]
A motherly action.
The first thing that came to my mind when I heard that was this.
≫The toxic parent move was hilarious. Plus, it feels so genuine.
≫Speaking of which, I feel like I remember Iroha-chan had a conflict with her mother over entrance exams back in the day.
≫Could it be that experience gave it this much realism…?
“Mone-chan, do you understand? You’ll understand, right? I don’t want you to be unhappy. For that, you need to study properly from a young age!”
“Ugh…!?”
≫It’s rare, but Anego is flustered, haha.
≫The only VTuber who can scare Anego like this might be Iroha-chan, right?
≫Now that I think about it, Iroha-chan has been tossing Anego around since her debut(?).“Well then, Mone-chan. First, let’s study English until you reach the same level as your mother, okay?”
“W-Wait, the same level as Iroha-chan!? That’s way too much… No, I mean, I’m already fluent in English, so I don’t really need to.”
“Don’t talk back!!!!”
“P-Peh!? Iroha-chan is scary!? Help me, Ogu, Ilyena-chan!”
“Anego… You’ve been attracting Iroha’s ire regularly, haven’t you? Isn’t this what you get?”
“Anego-san… how nice. I want to be educated by Iroha-sama too.”
“Can someone please help me!? And can you worry about me a little!?”
≫Absolutely no popularity, haha.
≫It made me realize how important daily behavior is. That’s all.
≫Ilyesha, lol.
“Ugh… but Ane, Iroha-chan.”
“It's not ‘Iroha-chan,' it's ‘Mama', got it?”
“… Mama~, I want to play with my friends~!”
“Huh??? Friends? That’s ridiculous! You don’t need something like that!”
≫The darkness is deep, too deep.
≫Iroha’s mom put her through this kind of Spartan education?
≫↑ No way that’s true! lol
≫Iroha’s mom is actually really nice, I think.
≫If it were me, I’d never allow watching MyTube for more than two hours a day, haha.
≫If Iroha’s mom were really strict, then Iroha-chan wouldn’t even be able to become a VTuber.
“Mone-chan, there are things you must prioritize over friends. Do you understand?”
“E-Even if you say that… I think studying is just a means to an end.”
“That’s obvious!”
“Huh!?”
I completely cut off Ane's words.
Studying itself is not the goal; that’s obvious.
However, studying is incredibly versatile.
Aside from being way too versatile, it’s no different from any other means.
“Anyway, everyone has been rude since earlier. Toxic parent, toxic parent… I’m not acting like that!”
“Huh!? Then why are you saying scary things like ‘Study!'?”
“No, studying isn't scary, is it?”
Or is this a ‘scary manju’ kind of joke?
Actually wanting me to teach her a lot… No, that’s not it.
“Why do you think I'm trying to make you study so much? There’s only one answer. It’s all for your sake, so you won’t have trouble…”
“When watching overseas streams!”
“Ah,” “… Ah,” “Iroha-sama?”
≫Oh, so that’s what it is, lol.
≫I thought she was a toxic parent, but it was actually genius education for VTuber fans.
≫↑ Though in a way, this is also ‘toxic,' I guess, lol.
Iroha-chan's kids are going to have a tough time.
≫Personally, I want to learn English and love VTubers, so this might be the ideal environment.
Being able to drink milk from Iroha-chan and get scolded—there's nothing like it!
“Got it, Mone-chan? If you don’t study properly, it’ll be too late to regret it! It’ll be too late to be in agony not fully understanding your oshi’s words! Do you understand!?”
“U-Uh, Iroha, calm down a bit. And, uh, yeah, I think you suit the baby role more than the mama role.”
“Huh!? But this is the ideal mom image I’m imagining!”
“Your ideal is way too warped, isn’t it!?”
“By the way, the household rules are ‘VTuber watching is more than two hours a day,' ‘Super chats are not included in pocket money,' and ‘Family must watch commemorative streams together'…”
“I can easily watch Iroha-sama's streams for two hours every day!”
“Ilyena, you be quiet!”
“… I think Iroha-chan is more suited to being a baby, too~.”
“Here, Iroha. Do this, and go back to the baby mindset.”
“Did you still have baby items left!?”
What I was handed was a single diaper.
Now that I think about it, there was one rolled-up diaper in the fourth drawer of the advent calendar.
“I’ll change your diaper for you.”
“I don’t want it! I mean, can you give it a rest already!?”
After that incident, it’s famous in the community that Ane changed my diaper while I was sleeping in the hospital…
Wait, why has this story become so famous!?
Well, setting that aside.
Ogu still occasionally tries to seize that chance even after two years.
“Alright! Then, let’s all become babies together for the finale!”
“Ew!? I-I still want to be the mama role a little longer…”
“Gotcha!”
“Mmm!?… Suck, suck. Bub~! Mama~! Hehe~!”
I couldn’t escape. I was forced to suck a pacifier, losing my ability to think… And I realized something.
The absence of a mama means that there’s no stopper either. The streams from there on out were nothing short of a dark history.
