**Twins and a Fox. (6)**
“How is Fuyu-chan?”
“What do you mean, ‘how’?”
At Inari’s sudden question, Koyuki tilted her head in confusion.
Her expression said she really didn’t get it.
Honestly, I felt like I kind of knew what Inari was getting at.
She was probably asking what I was like.
Since Koyuki was now on the stream, it wouldn’t be strange for the topic to shift to the twins, who were getting all the attention from the viewers.
“I mean Nacchan. Nacchan.”
“Natsu?”
—Definitely the topic everyone’s most curious about ww
—What does Fuyu think of Nacchan? I wanna know wwww
—We might get to hear what Nacchan is really like from Fuyu-chan’s perspective 草
—So? Is Nacchan the same as on stream? Is it all roleplay or not?
—Since Fuyu-chan hasn’t debuted yet, I hope she’ll speak honestly ww
She’s not going to say anything weird… right?
Koyuki’s mischievous nature made me just a little anxious.
If she slandered me or anything, that’d be a bit of a problem…
Though to be fair, she doesn’t really lie often, so I felt mostly safe.
As I looked at her with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Koyuki started to make a thoughtful expression.
That’s clearly the face of someone about to pull a prank, isn’t it?!
“Nacchan is… warm.”
“…”
“And kind, and super cute! Like I’ve suddenly gotten the sweet little sister I always dreamed of!”
But what came out of Koyuki’s mouth was completely different from what I expected.
Wait, was that supposed to be touching?
It made my chest flutter. It felt a bit different from the usual things I hear from her.
If it were just the two of us, maybe it’d be different.
But how many people can compliment someone like that in front of an audience?
“But hey, Fuyu.”
“Mm? What is it?”
“Why are you putting so much emphasis on the word ‘little sister’?”
“Eh.”
—wwwwww
—Classic twin mind game: “Who’s the older sister?” www
—Is Nacchan the type who insists she’s the more mature one? 草
—To be fair, Nacchan’s lived more like an adult ww
—But hasn’t she only lived in that body for a short time? wwww
—By that logic, Nacchan is like… 1 year old?
—草
If we go by that, Koyuki’s way older than me.
Little sister, huh… Since she complimented me, maybe I’ll play along a bit.
“Fuyu-nee.”
“Wha—”
“What? Sounds weird?”
“Curses, if only you used my real name!”
Well, we can’t say real names on stream, can we?
Watching her make that frustrated expression, I chuckled.
Koyuki always seems to aim for these moments, but when I act all nonchalant like this, she ends up disappointed, huh?
Koyuki looked defeated, while Inari looked on with envy.
What, Inari? You want me to call you big sis too?
“N-Nacchan! Call me ‘Onee-chan’ too…!!”
“No. You’re Inari, not Onee-chan.”
“That doesn’t even make sense?!”
—Right? wwwwww
—Inari is definitely more of an “Inari” than an “Onee-chan” www
—What kind of perv expects to be called “Onee-chan”?
—wwww
—Inari feels like top of the “never gonna be called big sis by Nacchan” list 草
—草
Just like the viewers said, Inari is the one person I absolutely cannot imagine calling “Onee-chan.”
Even if I had to call Toya “Onee-chan,” I’d never call Inari that.
I mean, come on.
Inari is just… Inari.
I have no idea what part of her I’m supposed to look at and think “Oh yeah, that’s Onee-chan.”
“Why?! Fuyu-chan is okay, so why not me?! I want to be called Onee-chan too!”
“Natsu, she wants it so bad, can’t you do it just once?”
“Fuyu-nee, are you okay with me calling anyone Onee-chan?”
“Never mind. I take it back. Inari’s better off just being Inari. I’ll be Natsu’s only big sister.”
—wwwwww
—Immediate cancellation wwww
—Honestly, her being called Onee-chan naturally is probably what she likes more 草
—It’s got that protective big sis vibe
—Nacchan seems like she’d be the cutest little sister ever wwww
—I wish my little sister was even half as cute as Nacchan…
Apparently the casual “Onee-chan” meant more to Koyuki than the special version. She stepped in front of Inari, looking totally melted.
Koyuki. You realize your facial expressions are showing on stream now, right?
A bunch of people are watching you make that face right now.
I was more worried about her embarrassment later than my own, so I gently sent her a mental warning.
Whether she got it or not, her expression didn’t change, so she must really be serious about the “Onee-chan” thing.
“Seriously, what’s so special about being called Onee-chan…?”
“Natsu, you just said that out loud.”
“Oh.”
—Is that so… that’s what it is…
—Well yeah, Nacchan probably hasn’t had many chances to be called Onee-chan ww
—Didn’t she get called Onii-chan a lot though?
—That was by her female fans, right?
—That was so long ago wwww
—I remember during those listener advice streams she got called Onii-chan 草
Yeah, that happened.
Thinking about it now, it brings back good memories.
Even though it was supposed to be advice, those times chatting with listeners brought me peace too.
And it was when I realized I had female fans.
“Grr, if Nacchan won’t call me Onee-chan, then I’ll call Nacchan Onee-chan!”
“…Eh?”
“Nacchan! You’ve probably never been called Onee-chan before, right?! Then even if I’m not the first person you’ve called Onee-chan, I’ll be the first person to call you that!”
“Eeeh?!”
—She’s just gone and given up wwww
—Inari, please… keep some dignity…
—We sincerely apologize for our Inari…
—Where’s this “dignity” Inari is supposed to have? wwwwww
—She’s sunk to calling Nacchan “Onee-chan” now… 草
—We all knew she’d break eventually, but this is how it happens, huh ww
—草
“Natsu-oneechan!!”
“…”
I was so shocked I couldn’t even speak.
Um. That… That was real, right?
Did Inari just seriously call me Onee-chan? For real?
It’s not like I was moved or anything. Just, y’know—Inari, of all people, saying that to me?
The same Inari who insisted she was older because of her birthday? Swallowing her pride and calling me Onee-chan?
How do you even describe this feeling…
“Uhh, yeah… hmm. It feels weird.”
“Even I think it would’ve felt weird if I were you, Natsu.”
“Ugh, why?! I gathered all my courage to say ‘Onee-chan’!”
“…You needed _all_ your courage just to say ‘Onee-chan’?”
If it takes that much effort, doesn’t that just mean you _really_ didn’t want to say it?
No one’s gonna feel anything from a forced “Onee-chan,” right?
—That’s the first time Inari’s ever called someone Onee-chan on stream ww
—Could be the first time in Inari’s whole life wwww
—Inari’s always treated “Onee-chan” as a word that refers to herself 草
—Now we need chibi Inari, too, don’t we? ww
—Let’s make her new outfit be “Kid Inari” version 草
“Wha—no matter how good that sounds, I draw the line at becoming one myself!”
“Since you called me Onee-chan, how about becoming my real little sister? I’ll talk to Ragu for you!”
“…I object.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Because if we share the same Mama, we’d be sisters.”
The artist or designer of a virtual character is usually called “Mama.” So if Ragu-sensei drew Inari, that would technically make her our sister too.
…Not that I’d actually mind if Ragu drew Inari. It just seemed funnier to say it like this.
See? Now she’s making that super depressed face.
And just a second ago, she was the one who said she’d rather not be like that!
—Wait, Fuyu-chan knows Ragu-san?
—Well yeah, Ragu-sensei _is_ Nacchan’s Mama… right.
—Isn’t it kind of rude to ask if a mother and daughter know each other? ww
—Why you trying to act like they don’t know each other? wwww
—When you think about it, that really is weird 草
—Fuyu-chan casually calling her Mama by name… savage.
—Yeah, calling your Mama by name feels kind of disrespectful… 草
“Mama? Why is Ragu my Mama?”
“…It’s a thing, Fuyu.”
I didn’t feel like explaining in detail, so I just thought of a reason in my head. Koyuki read my mind and let out an “Ohh,” nodding like she understood.
She might have wondered how someone who had been like a sister or friend ended up as her Mama, but I was glad I could give her the info at just the right time.
