Chapter 235. [Sister’s Counterattack]
I tried to refuse Ilyena’s suggestion, but unexpectedly, it was Mai who offered help.
“Iroha-chan~. Come to think of it, there might be some work you can only do in Japan~.”
“Huh? Is that so?”
“And towards the end of summer vacation, the VTuber events in America will calm down… Also, I think the collaboration café in Japan is about to end its run.”
“Alright! Let’s go back to Japan!”
“Eh!?”
Ilyena rejoiced at my change of heart?
Viewers commented, “Is she doing a palm drill LOL.”. But I couldn’t care less.
“Well, it was a promise, after all.”
Mai muttered quietly.
I don’t know who she made the promise with or what it was about.
“Then, then, Iroha-sama! Will you please do an offline collaboration with me!?”
“Well, that’s a separate issue. I’d rather avoid seeing my favorite’s face.”
“It’s okay, I assumed Iroha-sama would say that! So during the offline collaboration, I’ll be fully geared up with a mask and sunglasses!”
“Uh!?… Fine, I got it.”
I succumbed to Ilyena’s desperation.
Refusing a request from a favorite is already difficult.
And the atmosphere in the comments.
But if she hides her face, it might not be a big deal even during the 3D live recording.
At that time, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything and tell myself. It’s just a possibility until it’s confirmed.
“Well… Let’s postpone the prize exchange for another day! This concludes [Iroha-chan’s First Time Hearing] broadcast☆.”
“It felt like it drifted quite far from the original purpose.”
“’Matta-nee~☆’.”
“‘Otsukare-ta- Arige-ta-‘.”
“’Poo Vai’.”

≫Otsukareta!
≫Bye for now! (Ukrainian)
And so, the project to explore my “First Time Hearing?” ended.
Ah, an ASMR stream. Depressing.
Speaking of depressing.
I timidly turned around.
There stood Mai with a frightening grin —.
***
At night, I was alone with Mai in my room.
It’s my nightly routine of studying for exams. Or so it was supposed to be.
“Um, Mai?”
“… What!”
Mai was sulking.
Even though I was trying to teach her, she wouldn’t listen, turning away.
“Ah, well then, let’s call it a day for today’s study session. Good night~.”
“That’s not it!”
“Huh?”
As I thought I wouldn’t need to tutor her today, I sat on the bed.
But got scolded.
Does she want me to do it or not?
“Iroha-chan, Mai mentioned ‘First Time Hearing’ right? But Mai hasn’t received the prize yet, has she?”
“Huh? Didn’t I give it to you?”
“It was ‘big sis’ who received it!”
“Well, forget it. I’m tired today. Let’s sleep early. Can I turn off the lights?”
“~~~~!”
Mai stood up abruptly from her chair.
Then, she approached me with big steps.
“What’s wrong?”
“Be calm,” I tried to calm her down, but she grabbed my wrist tightly…
And pushed me down onto the bed.
“Wait, Mai, stop that…!”
I tried to struggle, but it was futile.
Huh? When did the balance of power shift like this?
Mai looked down at me in silence.
The ceiling light created backlighting, making her expression unreadable.
“Um, Mai?”
Oh no, Mai seems strange.
And I realized, this room has high soundproofing, and it’s just the 2 of us.
Unlike when Anego barged in, I closed the door properly.
If something happens here, I might not be able to resist.
“Iroha… chan.”
“Mai, wait. This is…!”
Mai leaned closer to me.
Huh, no way. Am I going to!?
My body stiffened naturally. I tightly closed my eyes, tears streaming down.
A voice escaped from my throat.
“No, no…! Because I have a lot of waifus. I’ve decided in my heart~! Doing this would be cheating~!?”
“… Huh?”
But Mai didn’t do anything even after a while.
I cautiously opened one eye to check the situation.
“Waaah! Iroha-chan said nooo~! I got rejected~!?’
Mai sobbed uncontrollably, shedding tears.
No! That’s not what I meant.
“Onee-chan always cheats~! She even kissed you at the barbecue last time~!”
“No, we didn’t kiss!?”
“Even though Mai always helps Iroha-chan! Sometimes, I want to get pampered too~!”
Well, she has a point.
Maybe I’ve been too relaxed with her because she’s Mai.
“Um, okay, I understand.”
“Then, can we kiss~?”
“…..???”
“But you haven’t kissed Mai yet~! You’ve kissed Ogu-san twice already~! What a pain~!”
“No, that was an accident… Wait, don’t come closer~!?”
I couldn’t escape as I was held down.
Help! Someone!? I’m getting attacked for real!?
