*Idiots! You think you can beat the crap out of me? I've survived being hunted down by the worst yakuza in existence, and you think you can catch me just because you get a bit of special powers by being in a game? Hah!*
*Miriri!*
Alphy giggled as she watched Asako's stream. 'Asa-chan seems to always get into a lot of messes, doesn't she?' After settling into her chair to get a bit more comfortable, Alphy took a quick look around.
A sleek crimson sports car headed back to Roppongi. One that Betty recently bought for her private use after getting the first paycheck from Ars Nova Productions' newest game.
As responsible as always, Betty had volunteered to drive and was focused on the road.
Alphy was sitting in the passenger seat.
And then in the back...
"Hmph." Meggie crossed her arms and pouted. "I still don't see why we can't just take the train. It's only like five minutes."
Yudi shook his head and said, "Granddaughter, your elder sisters have already explained it. For such beauties, mingling amongst potential degenerates and deviants is too risky."
"Risky my ass!" Meggie smacked a fist into her open palm and said, "I'll show any pervs what it means to mess with me!"
Betty rolled her eyes and then said, "Risky your ass is correct in multiple senses of the word, Meggie. Believe me when I say you have yet to see the depths of depravity certain men and women will go to when confronted with a naive young child like you."
Meggie growled and said, "I keep telling you, I'm not a kid!"
Betty glanced at Meggie in the rearview mirror and said, "And no one will believe you with that attitude, my cute younger sister."
"Tch." Meggie huffed and then crossed her arms, sinking into her seat. After that, she grumbled and said, "Nothing happened when I took the train by myself last time."
Alphy's eyes widened and she immediately turned back to look at Meggie. "You did what?!"
Meggie blushed and said, "H-How else was I supposed to get to Akihabara? I don't know how to drive!"
Yudi covered his face and he muttered, "By the heavens... Like mother like daughter." He shook his head and then put on a serious face. "This Esteemed Self must make preparations to prevent another scoundrel from entering the family- Gah?!"
Meggie smacked Yudi again and said, "S-Shut up, Gramps! I know better! Nothing will happen!"
Yudi rubbed his arm and said, "Has your mother even told you the story of how she met your father? That scoundrel turned out to be a half-decent son-in-law after countless eons, but you expect to find one in a mortal realm such as this filled with so many degenerates?"
Alphy quickly nodded with Yudi and said, "Grandpa is right! And do you know how worried Papa is going to be when he finds out? And what about Mama?"
Meggie's face turned red and she pulled up the hood on her sweatshirt, hiding beneath it. "W-Whatever." After that, she pulled out her phone and put on a pair of headphones, pointedly ignoring everyone.
Yudi huffed and then said, "Unfilial Granddaughter! We are simply concerned about you, and yet-"
Betty glanced back and said, "Save your energy, Grandfather. Meggie is simply in her rebellious phase."
Meggie glared at Betty and said, "It's not a phase, Betty!"
"...And she has been watching too much American teenage television."
"I have not!"
Alphy looked at everyone and then laughed.
Meggie turned to glare at Alphy and then said, "What's so funny, Onee-chan?!"
"Nothing." Alphy hid her smile with her left hand and said, "I'm just happy to see us acting like a family."
Yudi let out a deep sigh and then said, "If this is how a family is like for mortals, it is no wonder their lifespans are so short. I feel like I have shaved off centuries in the last day alone from my granddaughter's antics..."
Meggie gave Yudi a sidelong glance and then muttered, "Hate you too, Gramps."
"H-Hate!?"
Alphy giggled again and then turned back around to go back to watching Asako's stream. But then she got a text message notification on her phone. "Hm?"

>Riri-chan: Alphy-senpai, is it okay if we use the VR stuff in the Studio?

Alphy blinked and then sent a quick response.

>Alphy: Of course! Be careful though! Papa said it's fine to use it to play normal VR games, but the experimental ones are a bit scary.
>Riri-chan: Got it! Thanks!
