The Person I Met On The Internet Turned Out to be a Super Popular Yandere Vtuber - Chapter 2

I was saved, but it was still a violent incident, so it was quite troublesome after waking up.

Somehow, a miracle happened where my organs were avoided cleanly despite losing consciousness, and it seemed to be a minor injury despite the appearance and blood… I really had to admit I was lucky.

“I’m safe… How about the woman who was almost attacked at that time?”

“Well, you were the victim who got stabbed, right? Why are you worried about others?”

“Well, that’s true… but you see, I moved to protect, so I’m curious about what happened.”

Of course, I was relieved that I was saved… but personally, I was curious about what happened to the woman afterward. If something happened to her after I collapsed, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself… even though I didn’t die.

“She’s safe. However, it goes without saying that it was a shocking sight. She was stunned looking at you when you lost consciousness.”

In that case, I wanted them to know that I was okay… and that was the end of it regarding her.

But…

“Excuse me.”

“…Excuse me.”

I never thought we would meet like this.

A man in a suit and a woman in casual clothes… She briefly made eye contact with me but then looked down.

She probably didn’t know what to say herself.

Well, at times like this, I should be the one to start the conversation.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

“…Huh?”

The woman suddenly looked up.

…She was a beautiful person, I couldn’t help but think that.

In this city… which is considered the gathering place for many people living in Japan, I’ve seen all kinds of people.

Among them, this woman… although she currently exuded a dark atmosphere, I still thought she was incredibly beautiful.

“I’m safe, and I heard you’re safe too. Of course, it’s understandable that you’re not mentally settled after experiencing that… well, I could see that.”

“… ”

“But if I may say as someone who was saved… I’m happy that you, who tried to help, are safe. So, it might be hard not to worry, but I really am okay!”

I conveyed this without even pausing for a response.

The woman and the man were equally surprised, but they quickly expressed their gratitude and concern about my wounds.

“I’m really okay! Look, like this—”

As I tried to strike a muscle pose, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

It was undoubtedly the result of pushing myself too hard… the nurse who was watching nearby looked at me with a disbelieving expression, which struck a chord with me.

“…Sorry, that really hurt.”

“You really…”

“Hehe.”

Apart from the exasperated nurse, the woman chuckled.

However, she quickly apologized for laughing, but her laughter at that moment gave meaning to my recklessness.

“It’s totally fine. That smile is the best! …Huh!?”

Why… did my stomach hurt just from giving a thumbs-up!?

Accepting the scolding from the nurse who was beyond exasperated, the conversation finally calmed down.

By the way, the nurse seemed to think she was being a hindrance and left.

“I really appreciate everything you’ve done. And I’m truly sorry for involving you in my problem.”

“Please let me apologize as well. I’m really sorry.”

“…Understood. So, can we consider this settled now?”

Anyway, as I’ve said many times, I was safe.

And she was safe too… so that was enough for me.

(…Come to think of it, her voice sounds familiar.)

Yes… there was something that bothered me during our conversation.

It was her voice… it felt familiar in a very close sense.

With that feeling in mind, I was briefed on the situation.

The man with the knife, but it seems she didn’t know him and they weren’t acquaintances.

“Why would something like that happen with someone you don’t know… you might be wondering, but it’s related to her job.”

“Her job…?”

“I’ve spoken to the manager, and the company has also given approval. It would be rude not to explain anything to you.”

With that, she decisively… and in an instant, dispelled the unease I had.

“Do you know about Vtubers?”

“What? Oh, yes…”

“I go by the name Iroha Tokizami.”

“…”

She’s active under the name Iroha Tokizami… the moment I heard that, it was a shock that drowned out all other sounds.

Generally, Vtubers aren’t that famous.

But for those who watch videos frequently like me and are familiar with Vtubers, she would be considered incredibly famous.

“No wonder… I thought your voice sounded familiar.”

“…You knew?”

“Well, yes… actually, I was listening to your casual chat stream from two days ago. I missed it because I was on a night shift.”

“I see…”

Am I… dreaming?

While immersed in that feeling, I learned more details. The man somehow found out that the woman was Iroha Tokizami, even pinpointed her address.

Honestly, his terrifying obsession and persistence made me think he was not human but a monster. In the end, he was rejected after intruding on her, and that led to the crime.

“I understand that… there are such monsters out there.”

“Regarding the defamation against Vtubers, it’s increasing. Reports of demanding large settlements through disclosure requests are coming from various places and it doesn’t seem to stop.”

…

In a world where people suffer from defamation and even fall ill, this incident was definitely going too far.

But even in that situation, there were words I needed to convey.

“If… if the recent lack of streams was about me, I’m really okay! Of course, I have no right to say anything about that, but, um… please do your best!”

As I said this, I gave a thumbs-up and felt a sharp pain in my stomach again.

The manager hurried over, but there was no need for a tense atmosphere between us anymore.

They understood that, so we just exchanged thanks and parted ways… and that was the end of this incident.

“Oh, of course, I won’t mention anything about you, Toki. In fact, I’ll keep this encounter as a memory to take to my grave!”

“A grave… Haha, Tomokawa, you’re really funny.”

“Funny… I haven’t been told that by a woman often, so I’m really happy!”

Well, my excitement was quite high too.

“Oh, sorry, I have a call… I’ll step out for a moment.”

The manager left, leaving me alone with Toki.

I felt a sudden tension, but Toki didn’t have a dark expression at all… depending on the situation, she said she would resume streaming, which also reassured me.

“Um, can I do something too? I want to contact someone, just to give them a heads-up.”

“That’s totally fine. I’ll leave as soon as the manager returns… but may I come for a visit?”

“Huh…?”

A visit… from her?

I was about to refuse, but a slight dirty desire surfaced within me… if there was still a connection with her, the desire to enjoy it to the fullest emerged.

(Am I… the worst?)

Feeling self-disgust, I opened the chat app and messaged Gonzalez, making up a lie about having urgent matters and apologizing for not being able to contact due to being extremely busy.

…?

After seeing that the message was read, I noticed Toki looking flustered at her phone…?

“Tomokawa… oh, that.”

“??”

Suddenly, our eyes met.

Toki blinked her eyes rapidly, then slowly approached me… and cutely showed me the deformed screen of her phone.

On the screen was the chat app that I had open too.

A message from Tomokawa had arrived, and her username was “Gonzalez.”

“Gonzalez?”

“Ah… oh!”

As soon as she called that name, Toki burst into tears.

…Wait, seriously!?
