Provocative-Style Game Streamer (20 years old) Accidentally Reveals His Kind Personality Due To Forgetting To End The Stream. - Chapter 16: After Returning Home And Reservation Slot.

After Returning Home And Reservation Slot.

“I’m home!… Ah.”

After parting ways with Aya, Haruto arrived home and cheerfully opened the front door as usual. However, in an instant, he was met with a sight that made him shrink inside.

Whether it was the sound of Haruto’s footsteps or a premonition of his return, Yuno, his younger sister, stood with both hands on her hips in a dignified posture.

“Onii-chan.”

“Yes.”

“Your work today was until 9 p.m., right?”

“Yes…”

Her imposing attitude and tone were evident. To avoid provoking his sister, Haruto replied politely.

“What time is it now?”

“Um, it’s almost 10:30 p.m.”

“Right, and how long does it take to commute from home to your workplace?”

“About 20 minutes…”

“I see. But you’re more than an hour late compared to the time you reported. I always tell you to notify me when you’re going to be late, right?!”

The three-fold conjugation of “right” – a phenomenon that always occurs when Yuno gets angry.

Sweating nervously, Haruto could only manage to laugh it off.

“I always adjust my schedule so that Onii-chan can have freshly cooked meals. Don’t make me worried like this again. I even sent you a text message.”

In the Nakayama household, the working adult brother was being scolded harshly by his high school student sister.

If a third party were to witness this scene, they would probably think, “She’s being overly protective of her working brother.”

However, the brother and sister have lost their parents at a young age. They are the only family they have left. It is precisely because they know the pain of losing loved ones that this is considered normal.

“If Onii-chan doesn’t have an explanation, I will continue lecturing you for another 3 minutes. Onii-chan is the type of person who needs to be told multiple times.”

“Um, well, the truth is, I got caught up talking with a regular customer.”

“That’s not an explanation, that’s an excuse. I believe the shoehorn was supposed to be here…”

“Wait a minute! Before that, look at this! It’s a gift!”

Anticipating a potential swat on his backside, Haruto quickly handed the paper bag he was holding to Yuno.

“Hmm? What’s this?”

“It’s a continuation of my explanation. The customer praised me, and somehow, gave me this as well…? We got into a conversation, and time got away from me. Look, there are many of your favorite Western sweets inside!”

“…”

Taking the paper bag with both hands, Yuno peeked inside and rummaged around, confirming what Haruto had told her.

Then, she looked up again, and her eyes were sparkling.

The reason for this wasn’t just because there were many of her favorite Western sweets inside.

“Was Onii-chan praised at work?”

Indeed, it was also the joy of having a family member praised.

“Well, well (it’s not like I was praised at work), that’s the reason.”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier? If that’s the case, I’ll cancel the scolding.”

“Really!? Alright!!”

Getting scolded by Yuno is the most unbearable thing for Haruto. He joyfully lets out a foolish cheer in response to the sudden reprieve.

“Okay? Onii-chan, you’re not really reflecting, are you?”

“Ah, n-no… I really am reflecting.”

He just dislikes being scolded by his sister. But such a reason won’t be accepted.

“A sermon after all.”

“Yes. I’m really, truly sorry.”

Resolutely, Haruto accepts another three minutes of scolding from his sister.

On the back of her hand, Yuno writes the words “Don’t forget to communicate,” using her own hand…

***

“Well then…”

After the scolding, Haruto, having finished dinner, lets out a sigh as if flipping a switch.

“Onii-chan, are you streaming today?”

“Yeah, well, I absolutely have to stream today…”

Once again, Haruto unintentionally threw fuel into the fire. He ended up being criticized and his “Oni-chan” character was crumbling.

Just like how apologizing becomes more difficult the longer you wait, after an online backlash, he needs to resume streaming quickly; otherwise, it would become difficult to continue his activities.

“Hmm, is it okay to stream after taking a bath? Wouldn’t it be better to go straight to bed after streaming?”

“Thanks for worrying, but I’ve already scheduled the streaming time slot.”

It’s already late at night. Any further delay would result in fewer viewers.

However, Haruto didn’t reveal the main reason to Yuno to avoid making her feel concerned.

“By the way, my work shift starts in the evening tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry about my sleep. Everything will be fine.”

“If… if you say so.”

“Oh… I might accidentally raise my voice during the stream, so I apologize for that in advance.”

Knowing that being provocative can make people uncomfortable, Haruto apologizes while clasping his hands together, but Yuno suggests something at this moment.

“If you’re okay with it, Onii-chan, how about turning your gaming room into a soundproof room…? That way, you can work without worrying about me. Oh, it’s not like it’s causing me any trouble!”

“But soundproof rooms usually cost around 500,000 yen.”

“Huh!? It’s that expensive… Maybe if I search really hard, I can find a good soundproof room for around 200,000 yen…”

Haruto’s “Big Brother Sensor” kicks in, sensing something amiss in Yuno’s tone.

“Stop. Are you seriously thinking about buying a soundproof room?”

“Yeah…”

“That’s absolutely not allowed. If you spend such a huge amount of money for my sake, I’ll be angry. You’re still a high school student, so until you become an adult, please rely on me and let me uphold my dignity as a brother.”

The gentle expression reappeared on Haruto’s face, only turning serious for a moment

“Of course, I’ll work hard to be able to buy one during your college entrance exam period. So you don’t need to be be bothered.”

“…”

“I mean, it might have sounded weird to say ‘uphold my brother’s dignity’… Like, ‘I’ve relied on you for most of the household chores, so what am I talking about?’ or something like that? Haha…”

“I don’t think that way. And also, I don’t want to be scolded by Onii-chan, so I’ll agree.”

“A wise decision.”

Because they respect each other and support each other in their daily lives, their perspectives have become more mature. The tense atmosphere quickly softens.

“Alright, then I’ll start streaming. Yuno, since you have school tomorrow, make sure to go to bed early.”

“Yeah! You don’t have to wake up early in the morning, Onii-chan. You don’t need to see me off.”

“No, it’s not like I had any intention to. It’s just that I somehow naturally wake up.”

“…Oh, maybe the sound of me getting ready was too loud…?”

“Wait, no, that’s not it! It’s definitely not—”

Haruto tried to deceive her to hide his true feelings, but it didn’t go well.

He unintentionally created a strange misunderstanding and quickly realized that he fell into her trap.

Seeing Yuno’s smirk and narrowed eyes, he understood what had happened.

“Ugh, your choice of words is too mean…”

“Hehe, it’s because Onii-chan isn’t straightforward.”

“Sigh. I’ve been completely defeated…”

“Sorry! Well then, Onii-chan, I’ll go to bed first.”
