The Person I Met On The Internet Turned Out to be a Super Popular Yandere Vtuber - Chapter 12

It’s been a week already.

In this past week, I’ve somewhat gotten used to living with Shiori-san, and we’ve been able to spend our days from morning to night with smiles on our faces, making it very fulfilling.

One thing that has changed in this week is that Shiori-san has started her activities as a Vtuber again and spends more time in her streaming room, but she still comes to relax in the living room with me, making up reasons like needing to use the restroom regularly.

She said such a happy thing.

Not only does she show concern like that, but we get along well and spend time together. I initially thought so, but I never expected to enjoy and cherish the time with her so much and get used to it so quickly.

“…This is bad.”

Bad… I muttered this because being together like this, I… Oh well, there’s no point in hiding it.

To be honest, I’ve started to like her… Or rather, I’m interested in her.

I felt that way when I realized it, and as I think about it now, my cheeks instantly turn red and I feel warm… It’s too simple, and I feel truly ashamed of my shallowness for mistaking her kindness for affection.

“If that’s the case, I should leave… But I’m also no good for not doing that.”

It would be better to leave… She wants me to stay by her side, but there’s a much higher possibility that my presence will become a hindrance.

Even though I’m careful to ensure nothing like that happens, I’m scared at the thought of doing something that might disrupt Shiori-san’s activities.

“But… there’s another reason I can’t leave.”

This is just my assumption… but I’m scared.

Three days ago, I jokingly… but seriously suggested to her that maybe I should leave.

When I said that, Shiori-san’s expression disappeared as she looked at me.

The expression I saw after she had finished using the restroom early in the morning… not only that, Shiori-san, who grabbed my shoulder tightly, said this.

“Please don’t say such foolish things… Asahi-san will always be here. My side is your place, and your side is my place.”

Without blinking, being stared at like that was just plain scary.

Although what she said should have been undoubtedly heartwarming, I felt a fear that squeezed my heart.

Still, in the end, I felt embarrassed as usual until her beautiful appearance in front of me, but… because of that, I couldn’t bring myself to say such things to her anymore.

“Zami, what are you doing~!?”

“Sorry! My bad!”

“It’s not just a mistake, enemies are coming!!”

“I said sorry, didn’t I!?”

“Why am I the one getting scolded!?”

As I reminisced about recent events, a smile escaped me as I heard the streaming audio from the phone screen.

As Shiori-san has resumed her activities in earnest, today she is collaborating with other streamers as she has done before.

“…It feels like everyday life is returning.”

Watching her stream like this, it’s also the best time for me to heal from the day’s fatigue.

“Haha, you’re really getting scolded.”

Shiori-san… is making quite a serious mistake and getting scolded.

Of course, this is all part of the entertainment, and she’s not really being scolded, but her voice sounded a bit down.

“I hate these guys already… Die, you bastards!!”

Oh, she’s losing it…

But moments like this when she breaks down are part of Shiori’s charm, so the comments section is buzzing.

There are also high-value donations and a peak of fifteen thousand viewers… Her momentum and popularity are truly amazing.

“…Oh, by the way, there was another change.”

That’s right, there was another one—my company where I worked is on the verge of bankruptcy… or rather, it’s almost bankrupt.

The president and vice president were involved in tax evasion, and some other bosses as well… Many other problems were found, and it became quite a topic in the neighborhood, so I heard about it.

“Haha, I’m the worst.”

The worst… I said that because I thought, “Serves them right.”

Apart from those damn bosses and colleagues, even ordinary people who had no connection with it must have been surprised by the sudden turn of events.

That’s why I, who knew about such people, was happy about the company going under… made me think I was cold.

“Asahi-san, you don’t need to worry about anything. It was just a matter of time… It was bound to happen sooner or later.”

As Shiori-san said, it was bound to happen someday.

I wonder how those bosses and colleagues are doing now… What visions they have for the future… There’s no need to worry about it at all, but I can’t help but be a little curious.

“They’re coming this way, aren’t they?”

“Huh… Is this…?”

“Oh… Zami-san wins.”

It seems like the livestream has come to a pause.

Although the livestream isn’t over yet, Shiori-san stands up to take a break and go to the restroom… and what happens next.

“Asahi-san.”

“…Hey.”

It’s like this.

She comes out of the streaming room, immediately sits next to me, stretches her body, and relaxes.

“Hehe.”

There’s no need to say she wasn’t going to the restroom.

I also love this time… I really love this moment when she sits next to me and leans her weight on me.

“It’s a good trend.”

“Huh?”

“Asahi-san, you want to be with me a lot, right?”

“…”

Silence is agreement… that’s true, and she seems to have taken it that way.

Shiori-san stretches out her arms, hugs me, gently strokes my back, and whispers in my ear.

“That’s fine… I’ve told you before, right? If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t know where I’d be… so you’ve shaped the current me, Asahi-san, so be more selfish – if you’ve protected my future, it’s my duty to protect yours.”

Ah… it’s truly comfortable and the warmth makes me want to immerse myself in it.

“Zami-san, taking a long time?”

“Hey, don’t say that about a girl taking a long time in the restroom!”

“Sorry!”

“Good grief…”

Soon after, Shiori-san returned to the livestream.

“Phew.”

It’s hot… I got so embarrassed that my body got too hot.

She probably noticed, right… there was a clear sign before leaving the living room, and she really has an amazing ability to see through things.

“I’m back.”

“Welcome back.”

“Who’s taking a long time?”

“How did you know!?”

“I could hear you.”

“…Seriously?”

Then the livestream resumed.

However… watching like this, it’s not just the livestream that’s interesting, but there’s also a pleasant feeling of unity with the comments section.

But well… there are occasionally some unpleasant comments, but that’s unavoidable.

“Really… there are all kinds of people.”

Basically, normal people don’t do things that would make others uncomfortable… because reason interferes when you realize that saying something hurtful to someone will make them feel bad.

There’s a saying that you shouldn’t do to others what you don’t want done to you, and I really think that’s true… but such things will never disappear… this is the fate that streamers and famous people have to deal with.

Well, there are idiots who say things like “just endure it because it’s the price of fame.”

“Alright then.”

While keeping the livestream playing in the background, I opened social media.

As a recent daily routine, I summarize what happened in one word like a diary and post it once a day.

No one sees it, and Shiori-san doesn’t know about this account.

“Today’s dinner was delicious. Especially the hamburger! The cheese inside was incredibly tasty!”

The cheese hamburger Shiori-san made was really delicious, and I kept saying how delicious it was while eating.

I’ve posted this many times before, but there’s no response.

But that’s okay… it’s not bad to enjoy the fun of putting words down separate from the words I convey to her.

“Well then, shall I continue watching the livestream?”

And so, I returned to watching the livestream at the usual time.
