Chapter 37: [Gachi-Koi Day]
<Sorry! I just found out that Iroha-chan is streaming!>
The screen of the smartphone that the transfer student showed.
There was a stream of my [Ukrainian Language Course].
<I see. I guess you found out. I thought so>
<So.. so rry sorry. Uhh.>
<Wait a minute!?>
The transfer student bursts into tears.
Eeeeee! Every man is vulnerable to a girl''s tears.
I don''t know how to deal with it.
<It, it''s okay, it''s okay. It''s okay. I''m not scary.>
<Fueeeehhhhhhh.>
At first, I gently pat her head with my hand as if I were handling a dangerous object.
If this were a man and a woman. It would be disgusting, but fortunately, they are girls now. Barely safe, should be.
<Uheeehhh. I''m sorry!>
<Why?>
She started crying even louder.
The transfer student begins to spit out words mixed with sobs but like an angry wave.
<At first I was surprised to find out that you were a famous streamer, but then I realized that you''re doing this to connect Japan and Ukraine, and I thought maybe you''re doing it for me, too. For me, Iroha-chan is like a hero.>
<O, oh?>
No, that''s not the reason at all.
If it hadn''t been for the chats. I wouldn''t have given the Ukrainiannguage course.
<That''s why I gradually became aware of you at school, but since you seem to be keeping it a secret, I knew I shouldn''t tell you, and I had to make sure I wouldn''t bother you. But I was still curious about you and followed you with my eyes.>
<Hm Hm.>
<More and more, my heart began to pound when I heard Iroha-chan''s voice or saw you. I began studying Japanese desperately, wanting to understand every word I heard from Iroha-sama.>
<Un-uh., Hmnn!>
<I like Iroha-sama''s voice, I like that you speak manynguages, I like that you can study so well, I like that you''re a bit manly, and I like that you''re bad at sports, but I like you''re cute.>
<Wait a minute. I''m embarrassed, but before that, there''s something weird.>
<Ah, "MajiMuri"…! "Toutoi"…! "Iroha-sama, MajiTenshi"…! Fueeeee.>
<!?!?!?>
<In other words, I… I, Iroha-sama-.>
<–I''m in serious love with you. ～～～～!!!!>
<YES!?>
I like, ah, eh, that kind of thing!
Is that so? What is that? ……Is that so?
<Higg …… gssh, eg……>
Then the transfer student calms down.
I feel so awkward.
<So, sorry, I cried. On top of having Iroha-sama talk to me, I was overwhelmed with emotion after being touched and even caressed by her hand>
<Oh, you weren''t crying because you were sorry.>
<No, of course, I was full of apologies! I can''t believe that I, who am only a fan, interfered in Iroha-sama''s life. It''s like I''m an otaku seeking recognition. What in the world have I done? ……!>
<No, no problem.>
I took a few steps back.
I don''t know. I''m a little afraid that love is too heavy.
I wonder if she has learned Japanese based on a special case of a VTuber, and isn''t her cognition distorted in a strange direction?
Are you been influenced by Japanese culture in any strange way?
<I mean, Iroha-sama is the foundation of my heart.>
<Uh-huh. Wait a minute. First, I would like you to exin what you mean by Iroha-sama.>
<I''m sorry! Unintentionally with my habit!>
<Always! ? I see. No, yeah. yes, that''s fine>
<Thank you, Irohasama!>
<Uh, yeah.>
My head hurts so much.
I feel like I''m losing if I think about it.
<I want to make sure. You said you were in love with me, right? Did you mean that you want to go out with me?>
<～～～～～～! ? ! ? ! ? Ah, no, that is, um…>
The transfer student makes a hundred faces.
She seems to be in a great deal of conflict. She''s muttering something quickly.
<It''s nice to be recognized. How happy I would be if I could go out with you. But I am so afraid. There is no way that a mere folk grass like me could ever be in bnce with Iroha-sama, who is in heaven. But ……!>
<Oh, you don''t mind that we are both girls?>
<Yes. In Ukraine, it is very likely that a "Civil Partnership Law" will be enacted soon, which will practically allow same-sex marriages. By the time wee of age. It won''t even be an issue.>
<Yes, that''s right.>
That was a quick answer.
I see. She''s looked it up.
<Do you care Iroha-sama!? Maybe it''s not good for girls!?>
<Eh, well, you know. I mean, I guess it''s okay, right? But not me! I''m only interested in VTubers!>
I''m not interested in anything but VTubers! Let''s say that I''m a workaholic.
Or I''m too busy watching the videos.
That''s a perfect answer for a spur-of-the-moment response, but it''s also very considerate of those who''re in love with VTubers.
I''m getting used to being a VTuber.
<VTuber, I see. I see. I get it. VTuber right!?>
<Huh? Uh-huh.>
She nodded her head very strongly.
W, why.?
