Vol 1 Chapter 72 – Three-Person Live【Vol 1 – Turning Point】

For the last five minutes, I was in charge of the BGM, a sight that seemed to surprise Kagemitsu Onii-chan.

I think that’s only natural, because normally the VTuber themself isn’t there at this point.

In my case, it’s about acting five minutes ahead, a result of putting those five minutes to effective use.

“Good evening! Great job today, everyone! You’re all so great.”

“Onii-chan, Onee-chan, thank you for coming!”

The stream started.

“Everyone, have you got your Six Codes?! Let’s enjoy the law today, too!”

Kagemitsu Onii-chan’s greeting is a little funny. The way he says it makes the Six Codes sound like a weapon.

Though, in reality, Kagemitsu Onii-chan does use them as a weapon.

Incidentally, you won’t find the Six Codes anywhere here. If they exist anywhere, it’s inside his head.

“Man, but that was a surprise. I never thought you’d be playing the waiting BGM with a live performance!”

“It’s also a way to show the results of my practice! Since I had a violin bought for me!”

How nostalgic. My violin is the 120,000 yen one that BetoBen-san bought for me. At first, I struggled just to make a sound with it, but now, even improvising is a piece of cake. I think it’s become quite familiar in my hands.

“But still, Rin-kun, you’re incredibly good at the violin!”

“Fuhehe.”

Praise makes me happy, and I can’t help but let out a sloppy laugh.

While all that was happening, the comments were flowing by like a torrent.

At any rate, I think I got a bit of an idea of Kagemitsu Onii-chan’s fanbase. They’re basically regular people. They can be broadly divided into people who have legal troubles and people who are aiming for marriage.

“If you want to marry Kage-kun, you’ll have to get through me first, you know?”

Mama is scary. She’s smiling, but her eyes aren’t. It’s the face of a completely overprotective mother.

“Mama, at this rate, I’ll never be able to get married, you know?”

“Do you want to get married?”

“Hmm… For now, I think I’d rather marry the Six Codes?”

Kagemitsu Onii-chan said, and laughed.

“Kagemitsu Onii-chan, have you ever gone out with a girl?”

“Never have, as a matter of fact.”

Kagemitsu Onii-chan is one of my kind. A comrade who’s never gone out with a girl.

“A kiss?”

“No way that’s ever happened! Don’t bully me!”

Kagemitsu Onii-chan said, pretending to hang his head in defeat. But he didn’t look particularly sad.

Oh no, I’ve made an enemy of Kagemitsu Onii-chan’s fans. It seems my question was a bad thing to ask.

“I’m sorry, Onii-chan! It was my first time talking about romance stuff.”

To begin with, I don’t think it’s a shame that I’ve never done it. Because, until recently, I thought the more specific parts were all lies.

Besides, the embarrassing part is when you actually do it. Something like that, I could never…

“I have no intention of bringing the law into family matters! Also, Rin-kun. I’m not mad, okay! But just one thing. Virgins get made fun of.”

“What’s a virgin?”

Come to think of it, I’d never asked about that. All my sexual knowledge comes from what I was taught in school and by Mama.

“A virgin is, so to speak, a soldier who has never charged… Ouch!”

“Don’t you teach Rin-kun such stupid things!”

Mama’s chop exploded on Kagemitsu Onii-chan.

“Mama, a chop is a bit much, don’t you think?”

“Yes, yes.”

For some reason, the Kagemitsu Onii-chan right now is a total goofball.

“Ahaha!”

This is a virtual world. Right now, we are family. It felt like that was being expressed in a thrilling way.

“I have no memory of approving this marriage!”

Mama declared flatly.

It seems the way Ryu’s fans see him has changed as well.

The butterfly effect—a tangent our chemistry teacher once went on. Just like in that story, we are having an effect on places we don’t know about, in ways we don’t intend.

Vertically and horizontally, the influence spreads. It’s like shaking a net.

“Ryu Onii-chan is a very charming person! He is my music master, after all!”

She’s really an Onee-chan, but that’s a secret from everyone. Until the time that Tachibana Onee-chan wishes for it.

The stream continued after that. This broadcast was a little busy, and because of that, it was so fun I forgot all about how busy it was.
