Volume 13 Chapter 284 Shirogane Aqua, ⓪.① Kindness


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 It seemed there was a server issue, and the tournament had temporarily ground to a halt.

 The staff was busy with recovery, so I decided to borrow Kohina-senpai’s help and run an impromptu radio broadcast.


 ”Well then, I’m off,” I said cheerfully, closing out of my team’s chat and hopping over to the team room of our first guest.


 I’d been a little nervous about this group ever since I saw the initial team assignments.


 ”Good evening~. Hakuryuu-sensei, how’s it going over there?” I asked.


 ”Ah, Aqua-kun!? Listen, some team is currently attacking us!” Hakuryuu-sensei shouted in distress.


 Oh? So not just my team—Ai’s team was under siege, too.

 I glanced at the chat log in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Yep, it was chaos. Teams everywhere were taking aggressive action.

 I offered Ai a few gentle words of comfort.


 [Hakuryuu-sensei, that’s Mary-sama’s team]

 [By the way, the one who keeps defeating Hakuryuu-sensei is Prime Minister Habu]

 [Somehow, Aqua-sama’s voice sounds comforting today…]


 Taking a breath, I turned to speak to Ai’s teammate—the real target of this little radio ambush.


 ”Furia, my mother-in-law, it’s been too long,” I said with a sly smile.


 ”Wait!! Since when did I become your mom!!?” she yelled, flustered.


 Huh? That’s not okay? I turned to the camera, putting on a slightly sad expression.


 Ever since the day I married Kanon—I’d been thinking of Furia-sama as my mother-in-law.


 [A natural first call of mother-in-law. I might’ve missed it if I blinked]

 [As expected of Aqua-sama!!]

 [For Aqua-sama, who has declared all moms, even Furia-sama is fair game]

 [I want Kanon-sama to see this stream, lol]

 [Furia-sama, do you realize you’ve already lost control of the conversation?]

 [Furia-sama has a low resistance to teasing, huh]

 [It’s not even teasing. Aqua-kun sounds dead serious]

 [Right? He’s calling her mother-in-law with a straight face]

 [RamenHagetoru: This is a roundabout way of saying he’s taking her daughter, Victoria-sama, too]

 [↑W-WHAT did you just say~!?]

 [As expected of Hagetoru. That’s some deep lore]


 Wait, wait. The comments were zooming by, but did someone say Victoria-sama wanted to be my wife!?

 I see. So Victoria-sama has finally decided.

 Alright. Time to arrange the dress and venue.

 It’ll be more fun to surprise her, so I’ll wait to tell her once everything is in place.


 ”Since the server’s down, Kohina-senpai and I are hosting a quick radio show so viewers don’t get bored. And today’s first guest is—drumroll, please—Furia-mother-in-law!”


 ”Huh!? You just chose me on your own!!” Furia protested.


 I ignored her embarrassment completely, keeping my tone smooth and professional.


 ”Mother-in-law, please move to Team Chat 2. I’ll be waiting there.”


 ”Wait!? Why are you rushing—!? You left too fast!! Geez!!” she huffed.


 Perfect.

 I returned to my team’s chat.


 ”So, I’ve called them. Please wait a bit,” I said.


 ”…I’ve been watching your stream because I was worried, but they’re really going to come?” Kohina-senpai asked, skeptical.


 ”Yeah, yeah,” I replied.


 ”Aqua-kun, normally they wouldn’t come…”


 Wouldn’t they?


 They’re mother and daughter, so I’m sure Furia-sama shares some traits with Victoria-sama.


 She acts tough, but I think she’s just the type who struggles to say no when someone relies on her.

 Their family dynamics are all over the place—Kanon, Victoria-sama, Haa-chan, and Furia-sama were all stuck in rigid roles: princess, queen, noblewoman.

 They never had the chance to be vulnerable with each other.


 Take Kanon, for example. Now she’s clinging to me, Emily, Kotono, and Kaede like a spoiled child.

 Haa-chan doesn’t even show emotion.

 Victoria-sama? Tsundere to the core.


 Furia-sama’s the same—high Tsundere energy.

 Just couldn’t make the first move.


 But now, standing before them is the man who will make every girl his mom: Shirogane Aqua.

 The embodiment of being spoiled. The universal son of womankind.

 No girl can resist my gravity.


 …No—there was one.

 I glanced at the monitor beside me, where Kohina-senpai’s stream played silently.


 Just then, Furia-sama’s name lit up in Team Chat 2.


 ”You know… there’s no running away from this,” I muttered with a smirk.


 See? I knew she’d come.

 I struck a smug pose for the camera.


 ”So! Time for the impromptu show: Kohina Yukari’s Power Harassment Radio! First guest, Furia-sama!!”


 ”I told you not to just ignore me and move on!”


 ”Huh!? This should be called Shirogane Aqua’s Sexual Harassment Radio!!” Furia retorted.


 I drowned them both out with a thunderous PAH-PAH-PAH of fake applause.


 Kaede once told me: for a host, power is everything.

 If you barrel forward, it’ll all work out somehow.


 [LMAO, Aqua-sama just steamrolled the scene with applause]

 [As expected of Morikawa’s husband—powerful host instincts]

 [Only Aqua-sama can handle these two at once]

 [Furia-sama showed up. Yep, full-blown Tsundere]

 [Aqua-sama’s Tsundere formula: barge in → unintentionally tease → target falls in swamp]

 [↑So smooth, it’s art, lol]

 [Furia-sama, once you entered Aqua-sama’s domain, it was over]

 [I can already see it: Furia-sama becoming his mom]

 [Kohina Yukari is next to her, right? She’s been mom’d too]

 [RamenHagetoru: Stop casually teasing Ayana-chan like that!]

 [Tsukimachi Ayana: Huh!? Why am I being dragged into this!?]

 [↑You knew this was coming]

 [Come on, Ayana-chan. Just be honest and spoil Aqua-kun a little]

 [↑That’s right! Give in!]

 [Kurushima Fran: Ayana-senpai, please be sweet to Aqua-sama, even just a little!]

 [↑Fran-chan gets it]

 [Oh right, Hagetoru’s not in the chat ’cause she betrayed them, lol]

 [↑LMAO. The board members cried.]


 Hagetoru… I did feel a little bad, but hey, she brought that on herself.

 Wait. Did Ayana just say she wanted to be my mom!?

 Alright, I’ve got a plan.

 Putting on a serious face, I messaged Pegonia-san.


 ”Could Ayana prepare an apron?”


 At last, my dream of seeing a classmate in uniform and apron, acting all mom-like, was coming true.

 I’d been thinking of asking Uruha, but if Ayana’s stepping up—this is fate.


 Thanks, Ayana. Truly.

 And hey, feel free to bring your mom too.


 I’m ready to accept both of you.


 ”So, Kohina-senpai, please ask the first question,” I said.


 ”That’s lazy! Don’t just throw it to me like that! Ha… you were like this during Kohina Yukari’s Room, too.”


 By the way, Kohina-senpai—Kaede is spamming my comments right now, screaming that it’s actually Morikawa Kaede’s Room.

 Sorry, Kaede. I thought it was Kohina Yukari’s Room, too…


 ”You know, I really don’t like this guy. You agree, right?” Kohina asked, annoyed.


 ”Of course not. Why would I like him!?” Furia snapped.


 I see… so that means they really like me.

 I’m not dense. When a girl says she “doesn’t like” someone, it’s just the reverse of love.


 [Aqua-sama LMAO]

 [The face of someone told they’re disliked]

 [Truly unbreakable]

 [THIS is why Aqua-sama’s fans can’t be stopped]

 [It’s amazing someone can say “I hate you” to Aqua-sama’s face and survive]

 [↑In real life, this would be a scandal]

 [Only Furia-sama can pull that off, LMAO]

 [RamenHagetoru: Kohina Yukari’s just being shy!]

 [↑Dude, if she finds out, you’re banned from the team!]

 [Hagetoru can’t help herself, lol]

 [Aqua-sama’s “I’m shy” face is killer, LMAO]

 [↑Relatable, lol]


 After all, the opposite of hate isn’t indifference—it’s love.

 And that means I still have a chance.

 Thinking like that gets me all excited!!


 ”…It seems you’re having a hard time too,” she murmured with a soft sigh.


 ”Do you understand? It may seem like this person is struggling more in the world, but the one who is really struggling is me,” Kohina-senpai said, crossing her arms.


 What!? Kohina-senpai is struggling!?

 The other day. I gently woke up Kohina-senpai, who was about to oversleep, helped her take a bath, carefully washed her important parts by hand, dried her body, dried her hair, fed her all the food by saying ‘ah’, helped her change her underwear and clothes, and carried the sleeping Kohina-senpai to the site. It was none other than me, Shirogane Aqua, her number one disciple!


 Have you already forgotten, how I observed closely while half-asleep Kohina-senpai was using the toilet to make sure she didn’t spill, and after she was done, I gently wiped her with tissue?”

 Well, I do appreciate that she once took care of me in the toilet by using her mouth, hands, and feet once each as a thank you.


 ”Well, if you have any complaints about this person, just tell me. I’ll at least listen to you,” I said calmly.


 ”Ah… thank you,” she replied, glancing away. “Um, how are my daughters doing over there?”


 ”W-wait, wait, wait, mother-in-law!?” I yelped.


 Isn’t that something you should be asking me, not Kohina-senpai!?


 ”Kanon-san looked tired right after giving birth,” I explained, rubbing the back of my head, “but she seems to be okay now. Haa-chan also said she was happy to have made a lot of friends like Fi-chan, Fran-chan, and Suu-chan. As for Victoria-san, well, she seems to be enjoying herself. At least from what I’ve seen, she looks like she’s laughing a lot.”


 ”I see…” she murmured, her eyes softening.


 I see. Kanon probably didn’t want to worry me too much, so she didn’t show how tired she really was after giving birth.

 Still, I was relieved she seemed to be relying on Emily, Kotono, and Kaede… but I should make more time to pamper Kanon, too.


 ”By the way, mother-in-law, I heard that the base is being attacked. Are you okay?” I asked, trying to sound casual.


 ”…You still call me mother-in-law after all this?” she replied with a sigh. “Haa… fine. Call me whatever you want.”


 Alright, I’ve got permission from the person herself!

 Now, let’s try calling her “Mama” a little more boldly.

 Since Victoria-sama has a sweet side, Furia-sama will surely let it slide too.


 ”And about the base,” she continued, glancing at the map, “it seems like someone is attacking. Thanks to that, we’re already in shambles.”


 ”We’re in shambles too because of Mikuni’s rocket launcher,” Kohina-senpai added, frowning.


 ”Ugh, I’m sorry… I’ll fix it later,” I mumbled apologetically.


 Pokon, pokon!

T/N: Pokon = Japanese SFX for light notifications or pop-up sounds

 Hmm? Mary-sama and Prime Minister Habu have entered the team chat.


 ’Good evening, Aqua-sama. This is Mary, the one attacking the base,’ she announced gracefully.


 ’Hyahha! It’s plunder time!! It seems the apocalypse is calling me. This is your Habu Chiyoko!’ Habu cackled wildly.


 Wait, the team attacking Furia’s base is Grandma Mary and Prime Minister Habu!?


 ”Oh, Mother!? Wh-what are you doing!?” Furia cried out.


 ”I will give you a choice,” Mary said coolly. “You can either be trampled by us as you are, or join my team’s umbrella. Choose now. If there is no response, I intend to turn this place into a wasteland, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.”


 Grandma Mary!? Isn’t that a bit too harsh!?

 I throw a lifeline to Furia, my mother-in-law.


 ”Grandma Mary, turning it into a wasteland is just too cruel,” I said hurriedly. “Look, even when Stars fell, only the gates were slightly damaged, so let’s at least offer some coins or something.”


 ”I understand. If Aqua-sama says so, then we will do that!” she nodded with a regal smile.


 Phew, I’m glad.

 A message of thanks arrives from Ai, who has been respawning me repeatedly.

 Haha… I think the mercilessness in this kind of game is just like Kanon.

 It might just be my imagination, but when I look at Grandma Mary, I often see Kanon overlapping with her.


 ”So, thanks to Aqua-sama’s mercy, we will refrain from turning it into a wasteland,” Mary continued. “So either quietly offer coins or join our umbrella.”


 ”…I understand. I will quietly offer coins,” Furia replied calmly. “However, in exchange, please form an alliance with me. Leaving aside Hakuryuu-sensei, I’m not very good at games…”


 ”Very well. In exchange, we will keep Hakuryuu-sensei as a hostage on our team,” Habu said gleefully.


 ”I understand. That will be fine,” Furia agreed.


 Oh, it seems like the conversation has wrapped up nicely.

 We clap our hands in applause.

 After all, it’s important for humans to talk things out.


 [Aqua-kun, I’m glad!]

 [I’m glad I called Furia-sama on the radio.]

 [I think it’s a big step that we could resolve it through discussion.]

 [Good news, Furia-sama. In the game, we will defend the base.]

 [↑ No, in the real world, Aqua-kun just flowed in with the civilians and occupied the castle.]

 [Aqua-sama was also excellent as a commander, managing to bring the opponent to a bloodless surrender when he destroyed Stars.]

 [It’s thanks to that that the political system of Stars was able to transition smoothly.]

 [Aqu-tan is good at involving the public.]

 [After all, she is an idol.]

 [What does idol mean…?]

 [You shouldn’t interpret Aqua-kun’s idol in the same way as other idols.]

 [Hakuryuu-sensei is crying on stream lol]

 [↑ It’s because he was reskilled by Prime Minister Habu, who was dressed like a barbarian. It can’t be helped.]

 [(Conclusion) Yui Bureau, even coins are being offered, and Hakuryuu-sensei is also being taken, Mary-sama is ruthless lol]

 [↑ That’s why Stars were strong when Mary-sama was in power.]

 [Even now, it’s said the reason Mary-sama stepped down from the throne is a mystery. Though the official reason was reforming the Stars Orthodox Church, no one would have complained if she had stayed.]


 With the matter resolved through discussion, Furia-mother-in-law, Grandma Mary, and Prime Minister Habu leave the team chat.


 Wow, that’s really good.

 Now then, who should I go call next?


 It seems like it will take some time, so I’ll go call the next guest.

 Okay, okay.

 Before going to call the next guest, I search for Tenga-senpai’s chat.

 Found it, found it. This is it.


 ”Tenga-senpai, are you alive?” I typed.


 ”H-Hey, junior!” he replied quickly.


 Huh? Are you lost? Again…?


 [Aqua-kun, go pick him up~]

 [At this rate, Tenga-senpai’s 3-night solo camping stream will start!]

 [↑ That would be interesting too lol]

 [↑ I actually want to see it]

 [Aqua-kun, never mind. Just leave Tenga-senpai alone.]

 [Yeah, yeah, just leave it as is.]


 Everyone, which is it!?

 For now, I check with Tenga-senpai where he is.


 ”Ah… I’m on the exact opposite side. Please wait a moment,” he admitted.


 I leave Tenga-senpai’s chat and enter Toa’s chat.


 ”Toa, where are you?” I asked.


 ”Aqua, if you just suddenly come in like that, I won’t know what you’re talking about. Explain it properly from the start,” he said, sounding annoyed.


 That’s true.

 I explain the situation to Toa.


 ”Ah, in that case, my team is nearby, so I’ll go check it out,” he replied.


 ”Alright, thanks,” I said with a grateful nod.


 After leaving Toa’s chat, I enter Tenga-senpai’s chat once more.


 ”So, it seems that Toa’s team will come to check on you,” I told him.


 ”Hmm! Thanks, junior!” he said, voice full of energy.


 Tenga-senpai’s solo camping stream in the game would be interesting in its own right,

 but since this is a collab project, I want him to play with everyone.

 I think the listeners would enjoy a solo stream,

 but I believe Tenga-senpai would have more fun playing with everyone.


 [Aqua-kun, thank you]

 [Yeah, yeah, Tenga-senpai’s solo stream is interesting too, but it must be more fun for Tenga-senpai to play with everyone.]

 [Tenga-senpai looked really happy.]

 [Toa-chan, while you’re at it, please also pick up Maruo-kun, who is similarly lost near Tenga-senpai.]

 [↑ Yamada-kun is lost too…]

 [Two people getting lost—is it the Forest of Confusion!?]

 [↑ No, it’s just that both of them have the lost attribute.]

 [From discovering Maruo-kun to Kujaku-kun’s “good grief” moment.]


 Huh? Maruo’s lost too!?

 Well, if I leave it to Toa and the others, it should be fine.

 I joined the team chat of BERYL. One of the remaining members, Shintaro, was online.


 ”Shintaro~, are you there~?” I called.


 ”Ah, Aqua!? You came at a good time,” he replied, sounding oddly rattled.


 Huh? What’s wrong, Shintaro?

 You’re usually calm, but today your voice sounds… off, doesn’t it?


 ”For now, come to team chat 2,” he said, hurriedly. “If I keep them waiting, Kohina-senpai gets noisy.”


 ”Ah, okay. Got it,” I said, hopping over to the next chat.


 They’d been pinging me non-stop: Are you there yet?

 I pulled Shintaro into my channel.


 ”So, Shintaro, what’s going on?” I asked, folding my arms.


 ”Well, the thing is…” he began, rubbing the back of his neck.


 Yeah, yeah. I’d been watching the comments—he was hanging out with Awashima-san, then Mutsumiya-san and Yu-chan suddenly appeared.


 But… what does that have to do with anything?


 ”Oh, it’s my fault…” he admitted, eyes darting away. “I thoughtlessly added Mutsumiya-san and Yu-chan to the team, and then Chigiri-san suddenly became distant…”


 Ah, I see.

 So that’s what happened.


 Being the observant genius I am, I understood immediately.


 ”Shintaro, in times like this—”


 ”Is there a good way to handle it?” he cut in, eyes hopeful.


 Shintaro, unusually eager, latched onto my words like a lifeline.


 Leave it to me, buddy. What do you think I’m here for? All this experience isn’t just for show.


 ”You should kiss her,” I declared, matter-of-factly.


 ”K-kiss!?” he choked.


 With our Kanon, that usually works out somehow.

 Listen, a kiss is the ultimate weapon. Forget flowery speeches—just do it.


 [Mary: As expected of Aqua-sama!!]

 [Actions speak louder than words. Aqua-sama really understands women.]

 [After all, it’s about actions over words.]

 [In Aqua-sama’s case, it’s more like he acts before he even speaks.]

 [↑That sometimes leads to disasters, but let’s not sweat the small stuff!]

 [Nekoyama Toa: ↑ It’s not good for everyone to pamper Aqua like that.]

 [↑ Toa-chan, valid point, LMAO.]

 [Workaholic: Isn’t it our job to anticipate what Aqua-sama will do and act in advance?]

 [↑ Stop it, Workaholic. That’s how weird miracles happen!]

 [↑ That’s relatable, LOL.]

 [RamenHagetoru: Kiss! Kiss!]

 [Habu Chiyoko: Kiss! Kiss!]


 I just kissed Kanon the other day, but now I kind of want to do it again.

 There’s a chance I won’t get to kiss her for the next three days. Can I really survive that long?


 I fired off a message to my teammate, Kohina-senpai.


 [Shirogane Aqua: Kohina-senpai, since I can’t kiss Kanon for 3 days, can I kiss you instead!?]

 [Kohina Yukari: Stop talking nonsense, you idiot!!]

 [Kohina Yukari-san has blocked you.]


 Hey, that’s harsh. Blocking me over a kiss?


 [Kohina Yukari-san has unblocked you.]

 [Kohina Yukari: …I might kiss you if you win.]

 [Kohina Yukari-san has blocked you.]


 Wait, what!?

 You unblocked me just to say that? Then why block me again!?

 Also, sure, block my account, but can Kohina-senpai even wake up alone in the morning?


 [Kohina Yukari-san has unblocked you.]


 Ah, she remembered. Unblocked me like nothing happened.

 Kinda cute, not gonna lie. But I’ll keep that secret to myself forever.


 ”Mayuzumi-kun, you really shouldn’t rely on this idiot’s advice,” Kohina-senpai cut in flatly.


 ”I-Is that so?” Shintaro asked, flustered.


 Hey, Shintaro. Don’t take her advice seriously.

 Go to Awashima-san’s house and kiss her already!

 If you’ve got time to talk, cool—but if not, make sure to use protection.


 Use the rubber I slipped into the pocket of your date jacket the last time I visited your place.

 I got you the 0.01mm kind. I was thinking about you, man.

 The store clerk at the Drugs even gave me samples. I tested them all in the back before picking the best one.

 It was… top-tier. Though, nothing beats the raw experience, honestly.

 ”The problem is, he’s just too lacking in words,” Kohina-senpai added. “Mayuzumi-kun doesn’t even realize why Awashima-san’s upset, does he?”


 ”Ah, uh, yeah…” he mumbled, looking sheepish.


 As we were talking, Inko-san and Mommy Mikuni joined in.


 ”I think Awashima-san’s just upset because she wanted to be alone with Mayuzumi-kun, and now she can’t. She’s just… sad,” Inko said gently.


 ”Yeah, I think so too,” Mikuni added with a nod.


 ”Ah, I see…” Shintaro said, slowly catching on.


 So that’s why I told him to kiss her.

 But Shintaro didn’t even understand why she was sulking in the first place—so I had to spell it out.


 [Otome Game Master Sayamu Inko’s advice was solid!!]

 [Yup, she’s just sulking.]

 [Inko… you’ve grown!]

 [Thank you, Kohina Yukari.]

 [We need Kohina Yukari to translate for Aqua-sama.]

 [RamenHagetoru: Kiss! Kiss!]

 [Habu Chiyoko: Kiss! Kiss!]

 [↑ Someone stop this Kiss BOT spam.]


 Inko-san cleared her throat.


 ”So, Mayuzumi-kun, give her a hug. A hug… is good,” she said, fingers interlaced delicately.


 ”But it’s during a competition. Wouldn’t it be better to just call her? Even talking one-on-one could make a big difference, right?” Kohina-senpai suggested logically.


 Wait.

 Did Kohina-senpai just start talking about love like a teenage girl?


 My brain nearly short-circuited.


 ”I… I think a kiss is better,” Mikuni said softly, “just like Aqua-kun said…”


 ”Eh?”


 ”…Mikuni, are you serious?”


 Mommy Mikuni, appearing on stream, silently nodded.


 ”Well, when Marin-chan sulks, I just kiss her. No words. It’s more effective than a hug or a phone call.”


 Seriously…

 That was the most eye-opening moment of the stream.


 ”I see… Now I really understand that you’re Aqua’s mother.”


 ”I see, Yukari,” I muttered.


 Wait—what!?

 Why are both of you staring at me like that!?


 [Ah, I see.]

 [Aqua-kun’s unconscious natural charm… it’s totally inherited from Mikuni-sama.]

 [Yukishiro family genetics.]

 [Kokucho Agewa: I think Yukishiro just has those traits!]

 [↑ Agewa-san, LOL.]

 [Is Agewa-san participating in the event too!?]

 [↑ Yes, and he’s the only one who can rein in Prime Minister Habu.]

 [Laughed so hard when Agewa popped in and PM Habu vanished instantly.]

 [So Mikuni-sama’s the real culprit here, huh, LOL.]

 [Mary: Case closed!]

 [Don’t spill more tea, Mikuchan. I’m embarrassed! –Shirogane Marin]

 [Shirogane Lapis: …]

 [Shirogane Shitori: Don’t worry, Lapis. Big Sis’ll talk later.]

 [↑ Good luck, Lapis-chan, LOL.]

 [Thanks to Mikuni-sama, the Shirogane family is in full chaos.]

 [↑ Aqua-sama’s chaos aura is definitely genetic.]

 [RamenHagetoru: So this is Yukishiro’s fault, right!?]

 [Tashinami: Hmm… the dots are connecting.]

 [↑ Tashinami, should you even be here!?]


 Ugh, the comments are moving too fast to read.

 And just then, a message from the admin popped up.


 ”Everyone, listen up! The server’s being restarted now. The game resumes in one hour.”


 ”Got it. So, Mayuzumi-kun,” Kohina-senpai warned, “don’t take too much of their advice seriously.”


 Kohina-senpai… who are these people?


 ”Yeah, if we’ve got an hour, we can talk things through,” Shintaro said.


 ”Huh? If we’ve got an hour, wouldn’t it be faster to kiss?” Mikuni asked casually.


 I silently nodded in agreement.


 ”I-I understand. Thanks for the advice!” Shintaro exclaimed.


 Ah—

 I didn’t get to tell him about the rubber.

 I guess I’ll just text it to him directly.


 [Shirogane Kanon: Right now, I feel like a major accident was just narrowly avoided.]

 [↑ Wait, what happened!?]

 [In an hour… I’m going to take a bath until then!]

 [↑ Hey! Stop setting up weird story flags!!]


 Well then, I’ll use this hour wisely…

 Time to go kiss Kanon! I missed my chance earlier!!


 I ended the stream and left my room, heading straight for hers.


 Emily clasped her hands dramatically. “Victoria-sama, please give me a bonus,” she pleaded with a hopeful grin.


 Victoria flinched. “Wait! Why am I the one marrying?” she protested, voice rising. “I said I’m fine just being the mistress!”


 Emily raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at her lips. “You sound way too happy saying that.”


 ”That’s right, that’s right!” Kanon chimed in, peeking around the corner and whispering her support. (T/N: In Japan, it’s common for friends to support romantic drama from the sidelines like it’s a soap opera.)


 Beside her, Hermi nodded silently, eyes gleaming with amusement.


 ”Hey!?” Victoria snapped, flustered.


 Mary sighed with the calm of someone watching a slow-moving train wreck. “And so, that child was the only one who knew nothing,” she said, gazing off as though narrating a fairy tale gone wrong.


 ”Achoo!” Fyu sneezed sharply, sniffling afterward. “Ugh… I wonder if I caught a cold…” she muttered, rubbing her nose and shivering.
