The Person I Met On The Internet Turned Out to be a Super Popular Yandere Vtuber - Chapter 23

“My head… it hurts…”

Morning came, and Shiori was suffering from a hangover.

“Well, with how much you drank, that’s expected.”

“Ugh… Mom was perfectly fine even after drinking that much.”

Mom had drunk almost the same amount, but unlike Shiori, she was incredibly energetic.

“You’re still not at my level, Shiori-chan!”

Strength in drinking isn’t something to brag about, but from my perspective, Shiori can hold her liquor pretty well. In fact, since I don’t drink at all, I’m not against getting used to it if Shiori enjoys it… though.

(… We ended up going out.)

Last night, Shiori and I shared our feelings.

Of course, I like her, but I felt that someone like me couldn’t possibly match up to her… well, I still somewhat think that, but after our interactions, it’s impossible to think that there was nothing between us.

“Shiori.”

“What?”

“… We ended up going out.”

“Y-yes… I’m really happy about it.”

With a smile, Shiori buried her face in my chest.

“This is my first girlfriend.”

“I’m also my first boyfriend.”

“Really? I thought you were popular.”

“Hmm, I was a bit of a loner during school.”

A loner… well, it’s true that there are some downer aspects, but it’s hard to imagine someone this attractive not being popular.

Even though it’s probably biased, she seems really cute; she is beautiful, and she has a great figure from my perspective. Her personality is also great, and it’s fun to be with her. I can’t find a single bad thing about her.

“…”

But then, I can’t help but think about what kind of person I am compared to her.

“Asahi… no, Asahi.”

I stopped breathing at the sudden use of my first name… it was that shocking.

“I know many of your good points, you know? We haven’t been living together for long, but I’ve known you since we interacted as Gonzalez… so of course I know a lot.”

“………..”

“In the end, it’s about what we want, right? I want to be with you… What about you?”

That… I already knew the answer.

“I also want to be with Shiori… with you.”

The moment I said that, Shiori’s… Shiori’s face came closer.

We shared a kiss, just like last night, and both of us started to smile happily.

“The feeling of wanting to be together is important…”

“Yes, that feeling is the most important. Hehe, but I’m so happy… my wish has come true.”

“Wish?”

“It’s a feeling I’ve had for a long time, you know? I think I said it yesterday, but I’ve liked you since the time we interacted as Gonzalez. So I never want to part from you… I’ll love the person who is my destiny for a lifetime.”

Oh, that’s heavy… I feel like I’m being hit with some very heavy emotions.

But I don’t dislike it… rather, I’m moved by being hit with such intense feelings.

“And…”

“Huh?”

“There’s no need to worry about money, which is important for living! Asahi can just relax by my side!”

“Well, that’s…”

“Asahi is my lifesaver, you know? You saved my life itself, so you should receive that much benefit!”

… No, that’s a matter of pride… it feels wrong.

Shiori’s feelings don’t seem to change, but… I do understand that no matter how much I restart working, I probably won’t even reach half of what she earns.

She earns so much, and she enjoys her life as a successful person.

“I think I mentioned this before, but it’s not like you’re doing nothing. The fact that I can be more active and energetic now is because you’re by my side, right? So this is fine.”

“… Shiori, you’re the type who makes men useless, aren’t you?”

“I’m not reckless… just you.”

“………..”

Even so… even so, I’m sorry, Shiori.

I still feel I should find something to do… It’s not that I have a strong workaholic attitude, but as a working adult, maybe working is more reassuring.

“… With that face, you haven’t given up, right?”

“Well…”

“I see… then, you’ll have to start working for real.”

“O-okay!”

Shiori seemed to have an idea, she said, “So, become my mental manager… or rather, my supporter for everything.”

“Uh… how does that work?”

“It’s a respectable job, you know? Also, I want to make short videos and upload edited videos besides live streams… so I need help.”

“I see… I think I heard that before.”

“Yes, editing is quite tough even if you get used to it. Plus, you can edit while coordinating with me, and you get to work while being close to your cute girlfriend!”

“… Oh!”

I’m so simple… I feel an incredible benefit and charm in being able to work while being close to my girlfriend.

Even though I can’t give a complete answer yet, I feel like I might be pushed by Shiori’s enthusiasm…

“Anyway! From today, we’re starting out as lovers… Both of us will be starting a new daily life. So… let’s enjoy it first.”

“… Yeah.”

For now, that’s how we’ll spend our time going forward.

We told our parents that we’re going out, and although they were surprised we weren’t already dating, they were genuinely supportive.

Next… there will come a day when I’ll meet Shiori’s parents.

Just thinking about it is making my stomach hurt, and I’m more nervous than for any past event… sigh, I’ve got to do my best!
