The Person I Met On The Internet Turned Out to be a Super Popular Yandere Vtuber - Chapter 24-25

Chapter 24: Going to Her House

“Oh my, you’re Asahi-kun!? You~! Daddy~! Shiori brought Asahi-kun home!!”

“… Huh?”

“Hehe♪”

The day after returning from my parents’ house, when I visited Shiori’s parents’ house, it turned into a big commotion… why, though?

“Oh, so you’re Asahi-kun!!”

“Y-yes.”

“I’ve heard about you from my daughter! I’ve been looking forward to meeting you!”

… Well, I was welcomed in this big way.

Unlike me, Shiori had told them not just about the incidents and how I helped her, but also about us living together.

I only heard about that today… but more than that, I’m just amazed at how warmly I was welcomed.

“You’re even better than I imagined!”

“Ah, she chose someone good, after all!”

“………..”

Hearing these words makes me feel embarrassed…!

Among all the things said, what kept crossing my mind was the part about being a full-time NEET right now.

Well, I’ll be involved in work related to Shiori from now on, or at least be entrusted with it, but still, I wonder if they have any thoughts about that.

“Mom and Dad were actually planning to meet you earlier. But I said it was too soon and that it’d be better when things were a bit more settled.”

“Really? I see.”

“Was that okay with you?”

I nodded vigorously.

I felt there wouldn’t have been any problem with just a greeting, but it did seem better now that things around me and myself had settled.

I was embarrassed by being watched smilingly while whispering, but after being introduced and finishing the self-introduction, I learned their names.

“Although you said you don’t meet many people due to your job, I’m glad you brought a proper partner.”

“And he’s someone Shiori really cherishes… I heard you’ve been communicating by chance for two years. Isn’t that romantic?”

“Yes… I’m really close to Shiori.”

“Yes, they’re very close and lovey-dovey.”

Shiori hugged my arm tightly as she said this.

It was the same in front of my parents, but Shiori often shows this kind of affection to others…?

I’m really happy about this, and I even feel comfortable with this kind of possessiveness… which means I also love her a lot.

“I was initially anxious about making time like this and starting with a relationship report. But I’m really happy to be warmly welcomed.”

When I bowed my head while saying this, I quickly got a response.

“There’s no need to bow. Rather, if you keep doing that, we’ll end up not being able to lift our heads.”

“Yes, so please raise your head.”

… Well, if they say that, then I’ll do so.

It seemed they understood my character to some extent from the conversation, and the discussion with Shiori involved was lively.

On top of that, I noticed that Shiori’s mother, Akino, and father, Yoshio, have a similar atmosphere to my parents.

“I just realized, but our parents are similar, aren’t they?”

“Oh, you noticed?”

It seems Shiori thought the same.

This led to a discussion about Akino and Yoshio wanting to meet my parents… and it looks like the day for both sets of parents to meet is coming up soon.

(Still… to get along like this. It’s not just the similar atmosphere, but… huh? What makes me think so even more?)

I didn’t understand it for a while, but then I heard something that made me think of déjà vu.

While Shiori and Yoshio were talking about this and that, I was chatting with Akino from a distance… well, I was just tasting the sweets Akino made.

“By the way… Hehe.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Well… I was happy to see how deeply my daughter is in love with someone and how she’s like Yoshio.”

“?”

“Yoshio used to whisper love to me, saying he would never let me go♪ Back then, there were parts that seemed a bit scary, but now I don’t mind at all, considering how strongly he pursued me♪”

“………..”

That’s what made me think.

It was as if my parents were the complete opposite… anyway, Akino was happy to tell me that she eventually fell for Yoshio’s passionate pursuit. I wondered if this would make them angry if I said it.

(Seeing Shiori and Yoshio huddled together… they have a vibe like an evil secret organization scheming…)

It felt like I could see a dark aura around them.

Still, I obviously didn’t point this out, and I ended up building a good relationship with Yoshio.

Afterward, just like at my parents’ house, I stayed over at Shiori’s place… I also visited the room she had used for a long time, and it was a wonderful opportunity to learn a lot about her that I didn’t know before.

“Oh…!”

By the way, at night, I was shown photos of Shiori’s past.

Shiori said she was a bit of a loner during school, and while she did seem to have a somewhat downer look, honestly, she was cute enough that I would have definitely confessed if I had been nearby.

When I told her this, Shiori hugged me, saying she fell in love with me even more… Anyway, we spent a hot night together.

Chapter 25: After the Excitement

Shiori’s parents… they were so powerful.

The first day of staying over was one thing, but even the next day, the house was really lively until we left.

“… I’m so tired.”

As soon as we got home, Shiori lay down on the sofa.

Indeed, both when we visited her family and when they came to our house, we talked endlessly and went out… it felt like we had walked a week or two’s worth.

(But now… we can finally relax.)

With that thought, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.

I sat down close to Shiori’s head, and she placed her head on my thigh while lying down.

“Knee pillow~♪”

“There’s no need for a knee pillow from a guy.”

“Yes, there is, for me♪”

Shiori snuggled her head against my thigh.

As I stroked her silky hair, it flowed smoothly through my fingers without tangling.

“They say hair is a woman’s life, right? Well, I don’t think that way at all… but there are people I’d like to touch, and people I want to be touched by. Maybe I’d like you to touch me like this.”

“I’m glad to hear that… and, actually, it feels nice to touch you like this.”

“Nice and silky, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you♪”

Then we spent some more time like that, and eventually, Shiori, unable to sleep, sat up and hugged my arm.

It seems Shiori likes to snuggle like this, and usually, when we’re together, she does this… but I also really like it.

“Oh, I might not be able to focus on the stream now.”

“Shiori!?”

“Just kidding. You’re so surprised.”

Well… honestly, it made me startle.

It’s not uncommon for interests and motivation to shift towards something you’re passionate about, but seeing Shiori clinging to me like this made her words feel true, even if just for a moment.

“Don’t worry. It’s actually the opposite… I’m more motivated to work harder, so it’s okay.”

“I see… that’s good.”

“But aren’t you happy that I like you this much?”

“Of course… Gonzales-san.”

“Ahaha! Is that what happens when you get extremely embarrassed?”

Sorry, I was panicking so much I didn’t even realize it.

“… Hey?”

“Yeah?”

“We’re… officially dating, right?”

“Yeah, that’s what it seems like.”

“… Ehehe.”

Shiori not only hugged me tightly but also rested her head on my shoulder as she continued.

“I don’t have any particular desire for marriage or anything like that. But I vaguely thought that I might get married by around thirty, no matter what happened during my student days.”

“Really? I feel the same way. Even though I don’t have anyone special or a lover, I’ve thought about such things before.”

“At this rate, it seems like we could get married sooner♪”

“………..”

Her words, spoken shyly, made my heart warm even more.

Well, considering the stage we’re at, thinking about marriage is too soon, but in the future, it might come into view… for now, we should both focus on doing our best for ourselves.

(I’ve started studying editing and other things too… I’ll do my best!)

With that determination, I said:

“Shiori, I’ll make sure to study and improve. And soon, I’ll definitely say—’I’m glad to be by Shiori’s side.'”

I said this with a slight smirk, trying to seem a bit cool.

I wondered if it suited me, but Shiori’s eyes widened, and her face gradually turned red, so it seemed like a success.

“I love you… I love you so much♪”

“I-I do too…!”

We gazed at each other and kissed again.

We continued to talk while staying close until nighttime… At one point, Shiori used her phone to chat with the Citrus members, and since she was hugging me the whole time, I couldn’t stop sweating.

Asakura-san, who was also there as Momoka, was among them, but those with familiar voices didn’t know me… so I couldn’t make a sound no matter what. Still, Shiori didn’t seem to realize this and kept happily smiling.

‘Senior… aren’t you in a really good mood today?’

‘I thought so too! More than when we met before?’

“Well, I wonder why♪”

‘… Shiori, tell me more about it.’

Despite my inner anxiety, my ears were too happy… because I kept hearing the voices I was used to from watching the stream.

The names flying around were real, but I could quickly identify who was who.

“There’s someone next to me looking happy.”

“!?!!?”

“Eh?!”

“What’s going on?!”

“Don’t take it seriously, you guys.”

“We’re not!?”

“Besides, isn’t it impossible for Shiori to have a boyfriend and not us?!”

“… But actually, our personal lives are worse off compared to Shiori-senpai’s, right?”

“Don’t say that AAAAAAAAAAA!!”

Ugh, it’s so noisy…

Despite that, the content was interesting, and I had a hard time suppressing my laughter every time.

Shiori… please don’t do this on stream…

“Alright, let’s meet at nine.”

“Okay.”

“Got it!”

“Alright~.”

“Understood.”

Finally, the call ended, and Shiori sighed.

“Are you flustered?”

“Of course, I am…”

“Sorry♪”

“You’re not really reflecting, are you?”

“Nope♪”

… Damn, she’s so cute.

By the way, after that, she suggested we take a bath together, but I politely declined… though it was a bit scary because the pressure felt like I was being stared at by a predator.

‘Zombies are coming!!!’

And then, the night was spent studying while watching her stream.

As she said, the absence of trolls meant I could use this time effectively.

“… This is fun.”

Studying for someone… who knew it could be this enjoyable?

With that realization in mind, I continued to work hard on my studies.
