Provocative-Style Game Streamer (20 years old) Accidentally Reveals His Kind Personality Due To Forgetting To End The Stream. - Chapter 29: After Work And Aya.

After Work And Aya.

“Good job at work, Oni-chan.”

“Huh!? Shirayuki-san, don’t call me that!”

“Hehe, my bad, my bad.”

After finishing his part-time job at the book cafe in the evening, Haruto was teased by Shirayuki-san, who was waiting for him outside.

Haruto brought his index finger close to his lips, checking if anyone else heard it. But it’s not easy to fool a fellow content creator like Shirayuki-san. He chose his words carefully, considering the timing and situation.

“Really… Talking about things only we know is fun, but I’m more worried about getting caught,” thought Haruto, while Shirayuki-san remained cheerful.

“Oh, by the way! When we left the cafe earlier, I bought some snacks from the convenience store. Wanna try some?”

“Snacks?”

“Yeah! Ta-da!”

With that sound effect, Shirayuki-san took out a bag of grape-flavored gummies with characters from a popular anime on the package. It was a child-friendly treat, with six gummies that could be easily eaten, including the thin edible wrapping.

“…Huh? You like these, Shirayuki-san?”

“Yeah, you think I only eat snacks meant for kids, Haruto? These gummies are the best among all the varieties! Here, have them all.”

“Ah, thanks… But are you sure you got enough for yourself?”

“I bought three bags, so it’s fine.”

“Three bags!?”

Haruto felt embarrassed even just buying one bag. The fact that Shirayuki-san had bought multiple bags surprised him.

“I got one for you, one for us to eat on the way home, and one for snacking during today’s livestream.”

“Oh… well, if you say so.”

Shirayuki-san nodded confidently, her milky-tea-colored hair swaying.

“Then, if I surpass that ‘snacks only for kids‘ hurdle, I’ll recommend them during my livestream.”

“Really!? I’ll be looking forward to that segment!”

Shirayuki-san’s cheeks loosened even more at that moment.

‘What kind of reactions will viewers have when an aggressive streamer recommends a kid’s snack?’ Haruto imagined, and just the thought filled him with excitement.

“Oh, speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something, Shirayuki-san. Were you already acquainted with Suzuha-chan, the girl you were chatting with today? You seemed to get along well, and even saw her off together.”

“No, today was the first time we had a conversation.”

“Wow, you never fail to surprise me, Shirayuki-san…”

“No, no, this time we had a common topic to talk about – Haruto-san.”

As she waved both hands in denial, Aya suddenly changed her tone of voice. Her eyebrows twitched, and she made a mischievous smile.

“By the way, inviting such a cute girl over to your place, chatting and working together… It almost looked like you had a girlfriend or something.”

“If she were my girlfriend, I’d be bragging about her to everyone.”

“Haha, I’d do the same.”

Quick to respond, quick to receive the reply.

“I heard a lot from Suzuha-chan! About the good sides of Haruto-san.”

“W-What?! You talked about that?”

“That was the most exciting part. I wanted to go like, ‘Your streamer character setting is totally off!’ and give a few retorts in my head.”

“H-Haha… It’s kind of embarrassing.”

It’s always more awkward when someone else praises you in front of yourself.

“Remember when you lent her your hoodie because it was cold outside, and you prepared snacks and juice for her? Suzuha-chan seemed so happy.”

“Really? I’m glad to hear that… I think of Suzuha-chan as a second little sister.”

“Hmm. But Haruto-san doesn’t see Suzuha-chan as a woman, right…? She’s so cute and nice.”

“Uh, well… um…”

With a puzzled expression, Aya asked with curiosity. Haruto is weak to such questions.

“I-I mean… I try not to see her that way… but it might be true. I’m worried that she would distance herself if it became that way.”

“I see…”

(In my opinion, you shouldn’t take home someone else’s clothes, you know?)

Although that’s her opinion as a friend, it’s best not to reveal one’s true feelings.

“Hey, Haruto-san. Want to wear my jacket? With that outfit, you might feel a bit chilly, and I’d like to show off a little.”

“I’ve seen it already, and it’s fine for a student like me. Besides, your clothes probably won’t fit me.”

“Acting all grown-up, huh…”

“Since I’m an adult, I’ll just appreciate the gesture. Thank you, Shirayuki-san.”

“Ugh… Fine.”

Did she/he show Suzuha a similarly serious expression? Haruto couldn’t say anything more in response.

“Oh, by the way, Shirayuki-san. There’s something I find difficult to say…”

“What is it?”

“I can’t seem to eat these gummies… The seal-like thing won’t come off.”

“Huh? Ah… hehe, you’re supposed to squeeze the gummy out and eat it.”

“That’s how you eat it!?”

“Well… it’s okay. It’s just that… you’re a bit sneaky.”

“Huh?”

“Nothing at all.”

Haruto suddenly changed from being composed to looking flustered, showing a side of him that is more like Oni-chan.

In response to Haruto’s behavior, Aya let out a prolonged voice and gazed at the starry sky with a twinkle in her eyes.
