Chapter 313: [First Solo Song]


    “I never thought it woulde true this quickly, though.”


    Ilyena chuckles, jokingly.


    Hmm, I see? Now that you mention it, if this gets officially implemented, everyone will be together.


    Ilyena and I, then Angu Ogu, and even Ah-nee.


    Also, other independent VTubers appearing in this gacha too.


    “Yeah, I remember we talked about starting an agency, but in a way, it''s already kind of happening?”


    ?Wait, Iroha and Ilyena are starting an agency!?


    ?Was this nned!? This is the first I''ve heard of it!?


    ?Are you epting applications for new talents?“No, nothing''s decided yet! It just came up as a possibility for the future!”


    As I hurriedly deny it, my smartphone starts vibrating loudly.


    A nce at the screen shows a barrage of messages and missed calls from Mai.


    [Iroha-chan~!? Don’t forget about me~!?]


    [That’s so mean, Iroha-chan~! Leaving me out again~!?]


    [Iroha-chan Iroha-chan Iroha-chan Iroha-chan Iroha-chan Iroha-chan Iroha-chan…]


    [Yeah, bad kids need to be punished~. I should reduce Iroha-chan’s allowance~]


    “Gyaah!? Ilyena-chan! Let’s forget about what we talked about earlier! I mean, you were joking, right!?”


    “No, I’m serious.”


    “What!?”


    “Actually, Iroha-sama, what’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”


    “Ugh!? Well, the truth is… right now, she’s controlling my wallet, so…”


    “…Why did ite to that?”


    “I’d like to know too!”


    The other day, my mother decreed:


    [Your repeated spending is too much, and you never listen! So… I’m assigning someone to oversee you! From now on, Mai will manage your allowance!]


    Seriously, why!?


    True, Mai and my mom got closer after she supported her during that incident, but to leave it to her!?


    “Ugh, mom! You’ve been totally taken in!”


    I want to ask if she can''t trust her own daughter!


    I’m careful to save enough for living expenses while spending on gacha and superchats!


    Besides, I’m not just spending on gacha, I’m stimting the economy!


    Or, I’m just buying time with money!


    Also, it’s not good luck to draw gacha without fresh paid stones!


    Because “My oshis >>> My home” is practically emotional real estate!


    “Iroha-sama, are you thinking strange things?”


    “No, no way.”


    But still, this feeling… Isn’t Mai tightening her grip while I’m away in America?


    Recently, she even sent me screenshots of messages with my mom.


    [Mai-chan is such a good girl. I wish she were my daughter~!]


    [Thank you! Then, Mai will be your ‘daughter’!]


    [Oh, really? I’d be so happy!]


    Is she really just joking about being a “daughter”?


    It’s not in an adoptive sense, right? Not in a marrying-in sense!?


    ?For some reason, I feel like Iroha-chan would be the type to be henpecked by a spouse.


    ?Yeah, I can see that, lol.


    ?Someone needs to keep her in check, or she’ll go wild.


    “Damn her… obstructing me again! I thought I’d finally have my ideal agency without a third wheel!”


    “Calling her a pest… Aren’t you two supposed to bemitted to each other for the future…?”


    “Feeding Iroha-sama unnecessary ideas! I will crush her one day! And then, I will im Iroha-sama!”


    “I belong to no one!”


    ?Conflict between die-hard fans runs deep.


    ?Iroha-chan, stay safe.


    ?Watch out, or you might get stabbed someday.


    “Why is everyone worried about me!? This is a problem between them. Right!?”


    “…. Everyone, when forming a unit, please pair me with Iroha-sama~?”


    “Don’t ignore me! Please!”


    “Iroha-sama, let’s move on… to the limited-time event introduction. My original song will be included in the game!”


    “Really!? Have you all heard it? It’s a very Ilyena-like song with ASMR-style whispers and Ukrainian call-outs! If not, go check Ilyena-chan’s channel now!”


    Creating an ideal box means things like this happen in rhythm games.


    …Hmm? What was I worried about earlier? Oh well!


    “Let’s start ying!”


    I shouted enthusiastically.


    ***


    “…Ahh, Ilyena-chan was amazing!”


    “Hehe, I’m ttered~. But Iroha-sama, you’re good at this. Despite having no athletic skills.”


    “Well, it’s because of love!…? Did you just say something unnecessary?”


    “No, nothing?”


    So, I yed the song… and managed a fullbo on my first try.


    Though, it wasn’t on the highest difficulty.


    “Keep ying Ilyena-chan’s song to gather awakening items!”


    “By the way, Iroha-sama? I heard your original song will be added too?”


    ?!?!?!? First I’ve heard of it!


    ?Come to think of it, she only had the peace song and cob songs before.


    ?She rarely sings, let alone takes song requests… Is this real!?


    Well, it’s true…!
