**Twins and a Fox. (2)**

“Hi~ ~nari! This is Inari from V-Spe Gen 1! Waaa~ ~”

– Hii~~nari~~
– So who are today’s two special guests?
– I mean, not like we _don’t_ already know LOL
– If Inari’s doing a collab these days, it’s gotta be those two…
– So easy to guess LOL
– Honestly, the obviousness makes it better

Well, considering the chaos from yesterday, it’s no surprise everyone caught on.

This collab was a return favor for the wagyu treat we got after helping Inari reach legend rank in _Splatoon_. But I never expected _this_ many people to show up.

I guess the stream title—“Collab with Two Special People!”—kind of gave it away, huh.

“Is it really worth this much hype just because Koyuki and I sound alike?”

My vocal cords aren’t exactly high-spec, so trying to forcefully alter my voice was out of the question. From the viewers’ end, it probably just sounded like two people with the same voice talking to each other.

Unless… there’s something going on I don’t know about?

As I tilted my head in confusion, I noticed Inari looking at me expectantly. I took a slow, deep breath.

“Hello, I’m Ichinose Natsu from V-Spe Gamers. Nice to meet you.”

– Nacchan!!!!!!
– Nacchan’s hereeeee LOL
– Isn’t this the first time in _forever_ that Nacchan’s doing a collab with Inari?
– I feel like Nagisa has the fewest collabs with her…
– She’s got that elegant broadcast vibe LOL
– Inari and Toya’s style matches Nacchan better, honestly
– So who’s the _other_ guest?

The comments were flooded with guesses that it might be Toya, but I could already tell what most of the chat was really thinking.

They were definitely expecting Koyuki.

To be honest, I hadn’t really planned on putting Koyuki on stream, but she said she didn’t mind, so I figured it was fine.

Ever since my identity got exposed, it was inevitable that it’d impact Koyuki too.

“Hi there~ I’m Natsu’s twin—hmm, what should I call myself?”

“…Didn’t you already have a name picked out?”

“Well yeah, but it’s so simple it’s kinda boring.”

“You probably thought of something like _Fuyu_ (Winter), right?”

“Ah! You caught me. Well, since you figured it out, I’ll go with Fuyu. Summer and Winter—cute, right?”

– LOL so half-assed
– It was so natural I thought it was still Nacchan talking
– For a moment, I legit thought there was a secret 4th V-Spe Gamer
– Honestly, maybe she’s meant to be a VTuber
– “VTuber genes run in the family” lmao

“VTuber genes” is such a weird phrase…

Anyway, the chat was reacting a little less explosively than I expected.

Maybe they were already used to hearing my voice, so it didn’t seem that surprising?

Honestly, this amount of attention was just right.

**[¥1000 Super Chat]**
_For Fuyu-chan’s snack fund!_

“Waaah~ Is that really for me? Yay~ But there’s not much I can offer back… Oh! How about a Nacchan impression?”

“Don’t.”

“Hello, I’m Ichinose Natsu from V-Spe Gamers.”

“Hey!!”

– LOL that was _exactly_ the same
– If you told me Nacchan was doing both voices, I’d believe it
– Try switching back and forth between the two!
– They’re obviously two people but the voices are too similar LOL
– I can’t take it anymore LOL

I thought the different speaking styles would help differentiate us, but apparently not.

Maybe it’s funnier to just lean into the “dual role” bit?

I shook my head to clear the thought. There was no need to try and fake people out.

Especially since everyone already _knew_ we were twins.

“Oh, by the way, Inari treated us to wagyu earlier.”

“She did.”

“It was delicious! Food always tastes better when someone else pays~”

– That’s facts LOL
– I want wagyu too
– Inari, buy _us_ wagyu!
– Why only the Nacchans?! Why only them?! WHY ONLY THEM?!

“You all aren’t Nacchan or Fuyu-chan, okay?! If you want wagyu from me, come back when you’re that cute!”

Inari’s outburst triggered a flood of chaos in the chat.

Comments ranged from “How is anyone supposed to be _that_ cute?” to “At least I’m cuter than Inari, so give me yakiniku.”

Half of them were teasing Inari, and the rest were just showering Koyuki and me with compliments.

Although… some of them felt more like they were teasing _me_ specifically.

Meanwhile, Koyuki looked pretty pleased to be called cute.

I’m kind of jealous of how she can just accept compliments like that with a smile.

“Don’t put words in my mouth.”

“I’ll do what I want~”

– Watching them bicker is adorable
– So is it true that twins can read each other’s minds?
– They should totally do a “Guess What I’m Thinking” segment LOL
– But like… if they plan it in advance, how would we know?
– Good point LOL

Honestly, reading each other’s minds _has_ gotten easier lately…

But if we actually tried it on stream, wouldn’t it just be awkward silence the whole time?

Still, Inari was clapping like this was the best idea ever, and Koyuki didn’t seem against it either.

…Am I the only one here actually worried about this?

“…Fine. I’ll go along with it. Majority rules, I guess.”

– Nacchan sounds so done LOL
– Like a tired mom dealing with two chaotic kids
– If she’d sighed before saying that, it would’ve been perfection
– Nacchan, half-giving-up voice is adorable LOL

Okay seriously, stop calling me cute already!

> **[Nacchan’s twin appears on Inari’s stream LOL]**
> _(Thumbnail shows two shadowy figures side-by-side.JPG)_
> Like, come on. Who else _could_ it be?

– Is this for real?
– Like, duh, what else would it be?
– Okay that reply was kinda harsh ;;
– They’re just excited about the twin thing, cut ‘em some slack
– (Natsu I understand the depths of your soul CON)
– So is having Nacchan’s twin really that big of a deal? Isn’t it just two Nacchans now?
– That’s _why_ it’s a big deal!
– Twice the Nacchan = twice the good
– (Two Natsus means double the cute CON)

> **[So what if Nacchan starts doing both roles herself?]**

– Nacchan can’t pull that off lol
– Actually that might be better 😂
– The ultimate dilemma: twin guest appearance vs 1-person 2-role Nacchan hell

> **[You guys are dead, Natsu’s twin is real ;;]**
> _(Clip: Fuyu’s very not-intro introduction.MVI)_
> Tell me she doesn’t give off total problem child energy.

– Sounds just like the host, which is kinda uncanny…
– Evil Nacchan?
– More like lively Nacchan lol
– Call her mischievous Natsu, I beg you…
– Isn’t that more of a “little devil” archetype than bratty?
– (Inari it’s not brat, it’s little devil CON)
– (Inari it’s not little devil, it’s brat CON)
– Why do Inari’s memes always end up like this LOL

> **[Also, that name tho. Natsu and Fuyu? Seriously?]**

– Yeah, seems totally random.
– Whatever, not like she’s a full-time VTuber. Let her call herself what she wants.
– They can’t roast the main, so they roast the twin instead smh
– (Natsu, I’m just sorry CON)
– You made her cry.
– If the host cries, it’s probably your fault.

> **[Why is Natsu named Natsu and Fuyu named Fuyu?]**

> **[Isn’t it clearly the other way around?? Like Natsu fits Fuyu and vice versa;;]**

– What are you even saying?
– Was that… Korean? Are you okay??
– I think they mean the personalities don’t match the names
– Actually yeah, Fuyu does act more summery than Natsu
– Didn’t Toya say she met “the snow fairy” before bringing Natsu to Japan?
– Damn, why is your name “summer,” Natsu?!
– (Natsu is not “midsummer” CON)
– Then she should’ve been named Winter instead LOL
– What if Fuyu’s real name is literally “Winter”?
– It’s the mismatch that actually makes it match better, honestly
– Natsu just _sounds_ right for the host
– Like a warm ray of summer sun…
– Summer sun is _hot_, not warm
– You’re banned from using the air conditioner this summer LOL
