    I unconsciously let out a huge exclamation of surprise.

    I almost let my real voice slip out; that was a close call.

    scream tskr

    even her scream’s cute

    i NEED to go to comiket (sense of duty)

    Yuru Kakizaki: Don’t worry, I won’t force you into anything. Take your time to think about it later, it’s all good.

    i can’t believe she was so intense just a little while ago, lol

    [But I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity. I’ll definitely think about it!]

    if youre showing up in person, im totally going to comiket

    i hope I can file a leave from work…

    if they reject my leave letter, ill quit my job, no joke

    [Oh, and if I do end up going, don’t force yourselves, okay?]

    aww so sweet

    no overdoing. noted

    well I wanna go so i might push myself a little bit

    im going to the frontlines of the battlefield so i should be fine

    [Okay, um, the sudden turn of events caught me off guard a little, but I want to talk about the survey I mentioned!]

    im curious

    wonder what it is

    im excited

    [Here’s the deal! I’m taking requests for games you want me to play, things you want me to try, or even dishes you want me to cook!]

    for real?

    as long as it’s within Yotube’s guidelines, anything goes, right?

    Seriously? You must be god…

    WeeFitRing…(whisper

    polis there’s a demon here

    [Of course, I’ll only do those within Yotube’s guidelines. I plan on responding to as many as possible, so feel free to drop your requests in the request box on Tweeter!]

    aw yis

    wonder what should I request…

    i wanna see you play a horror game

    maybe a dating sim?

    but I guess dating sims might be too boring for viewers…

    ah, that’s true

    [Oh, and, I’m not afraid of horror games at all! Bring it on!!!]

    oho?

    I sense a flag here

    show us what you’ve got

    Yuru Kakizaki:

    [Ehehe, just kidding! Next time I commission a new outfit, I’ll wait until I have enough money from monetizing before asking Mama Yuru.]

    Yuru Kakizaki: Wait, give me a day.

    good night

    sweet dreams

    Yuru Kakizaki: Thanks for the stream.

    Thanks for the stream!

    I’ll watch your next one too!

    ===The live stream has ended.===

    “Haa…”

    I let out a sigh and turned off my stream.

    “It was more tiring than I thought, but it was fun.”

    Various comments flooded in response to my statements.

    I enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

    “Oh, that reminds me, Yuru-sensei mentioned Comiket.”

    Just then, my phone pinged with a message.

    “Speak of the devil…”

    Subject: About Comiket

    Message: About what I mentioned about Comiket, the other people in the circle with me said that you can join us as our booth assistant. What do you think?

    However, there’s a catch: you have to cosplay.

    We’re a busy circle that deals with doujinshis, so I leave the final decision to you.

    “C-Cosplay?!”

    “B-But…I don’t have any costumes or anything like that…”

    Subject: Re: About Comiket

    Message: Thank you very much for your offer! However, I’m a guy and have never cosplayed before, nor do I have any costumes. So, I’m afraid it might be difficult…

    I think this is a good enough reply.

    I can’t be indebted to Yuru-sensei all the time.

    A few minutes after hitting send, Yuru-sensei called me.

    “Hello, Yuru-sensei? What’s up?”

    “I’ll get you a costume and do your makeup. Will you come now?”

    “A-Are you sure…?”

    “Absolutely. I bet your cosplay will make Yuka Shirahime’s name even more popular.”

    “I’m not sure if I’m good enough for this…”

    “You’re more than good enough. You’re cute, so have confidence.”

    “Also, let’s announce the new outfit through cosplay.”

    “What?!”

    “I’ll make it into a 3D model later.”

    “But I don’t have any money…”

    “In exchange, let me draw a doujin of Yuka Shirahime.”

    “You don’t need permission for that, right? You’re the one who made her, sensei!”

    “Well, technically, it’s a derivative work, so getting approval from the official source is important.”

    “I see…”

    “So, what do you think? I don’t think it’s a bad deal.”

    “Okay, I’ll go for it!”

    “Got it! I’ll let you know when we leave, so be ready! By the way, what should I call you? Should I keep calling you Yuka-chan, or is that too rude? What’s your name again?”

    “Um, it’s Yuki Himemura.”

    “Hehe, it’s a cute name that suits you perfectly, Yuki-kun.”

    “Uh, t-thank you…”

    It’s the first time a girl called me by my given name like that, so I can’t help but feel embarrassed.

    “Are you blushing?”

    “N-No, it’s just your imagination!”

    I have to act tough; I’m a guy, after all.

    “I’ll tell you my name too—it’s Kaoru Yusa. That’s where I got Yuru.”

    “Kaoru-san then!”

    “You can call me onee-chan, you know?”

    “Oh, no, that’s, um…”

    “Haha, just kidding.”

    “Please give me a break…”

    I suddenly thought to myself, what if I call her by her real name and add onee-chan using Yuka’s voice?

    Just as a teeny-tiny payback.

    “Well, anyway, I think we’ll probably meet up at the location, so you’ll have to find a place to stay on your own.”

    “Okay! Thanks, Kaoru onee-chan?”

    “Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

    I heard a loud noise, like something had fallen hard, and then the sound of a door opening.

    “What happened, onee-chan? Are you okay?! Oh, is this call still on? Sorry, I don’t know who’s on the line, but I’ll hang up now. Onee-chan will contact you again later!”

    D-Did I overdo it?

    —The Netizens’ Reaction—

    [The Cutest Boyish Girl Ever] A Yuka Shirahime Thread (Surprisingly an Indie VTuber?)

    115: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    Gather ‘round, brethren who watched today’s stream.

    116: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    115

    you called?

    117: Name: Anon Onee-chan

    115

    i have been summoned

    118: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    I missed the stream, how was it?

    119: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    mama yuru was wack

    120: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    121: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    there’s a chance that yuka’s going to comiket

    122: Name: Anon Onee-chan

    121

    Huh? A VTuber actually attending in person?

    123: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    well, she’s technically an indie, so it’s something she can do

    124: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    If she turns out to be a beauty IRL, that would be the perfect package.

    125: Name: Anon Onee-chan

    Wait, was it just me who felt something was off during the stream?

    Yuka-chan said her crush got a boyfriend, but I was confused if it was a guy or a girl.

    126: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    125

    now that you mention it…

    but if you think about it for once, a guy using a voice changer to sound like that is impossible

    127: Name: Anon Onee-chan

    Or…she could be an effeminate man.

    128: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    yeah no lmaoo

    but if she really is, it’s plausible

    there aren’t many real-life effeminate male vtubers

    129: Name: Anon Onee-chan

    128

    True.

    130: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    And if it’s a guy, calling herself “boku” is all the more possible.

    131: Name: Anon Onii-chan

    well, we’ll find out eventually

    The netizens’ predictions were pretty spot on, but it remains to be seen how many people will realize Yuki’s true identity on the day of the event.

    —Yura’s POV—

    My name is Yura Yusa, the younger sister of Kaoru Yusa, who goes by the name Yuru Kakizaki online.

    One day, I heard a loud noise coming from my sister’s room. When I went in to check, I found her collapsed on the floor, face beet-red and bleeding from her nose.

    It seemed like she was on a call, so I told the other person we had to end the conversation to take care of my sister.

    “Onee-chan, are you okay?”

    “Sorry, Yura.”

    “What happened?”

    “Well, you heard me talking about Comiket earlier, right?”

    “Yeah, the one where the person behind Yuka-chan is going to attend.”

    “While we were talking, he said something cute to tease me.”

    “Okay. And how’s that related?”

    “We told each other’s real names for future reference.”

    “I see. So what’s his name?”

    “Yuki Himemura.”

    “Even the name is cute. Isn’t that cheating?”

    “Yeah, well, in retaliation for what I said, he called me Kaoru onee-chan, and I almost died.”

    “You’re beyond help, I swear.”

    “But he’s just so cute, can you really blame me?!”

    “I understand your feelings.”

    “But you can’t keep having nosebleeds like this.”

    “Ugh…”

    “I hope you can build up some resistance through the streams.”

    “I’ll try my best…”

    I dare say it.

    My sister is also cute.
