Basement-Dwelling Loser VTuber

“So hot….”

Suddenly waking up, an overwhelming heat rushed over me.

Or should I say it the other way around? I didn’t wake up because it was hot; rather, I woke up because it was unbelievably hot.

“Ugh….”

As I slowly opened my eyes, my older sister was sound asleep, hugging me tightly as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

I was pretty sure Mom and my sister had been drinking together yesterday, but thankfully, there was no smell of alcohol coming from my sister.

“Hooooot….”

As I complained about the heat, I also felt a sense of comfort.

But there’s nothing I could do about it. When my sister hugs me like this, the soft touch is just too nice to resist.

…Could it be that the habit I have of snuggling up to someone when I fall asleep was a result of my sister’s influence?

While I entertained such useless thoughts, I quietly turned my gaze.

The time was 8:32 AM.

…I had definitely slept much longer than usual.

Nevertheless, I hardly wake up at 5:30 AM like when I used to go to school, but I still try to maintain the habit of sleeping and waking up early whenever I can.

It’s good for my health, after all.

“Sis…. wake up. It’s already 8:30.”

“Mmm?”

As I pushed slightly against her, my sister quietly opened her eyes.

But how should I put this? It’s true to say that my sister is a bit of a siscon.

“Can’t we just stay like this for a little longer?”

With a blank expression, she pouted slightly and buried her face into my shoulder, making her request.

“Ah….”

If I give in to this exception, then one day will turn into two, and two days will become a habit….

But seeing my sister acting all spoiled after waking up makes my heart soften.

It’s a completely different gap from what she usually shows, isn’t it?

“…Alright.”

In the end, I could not refuse my sister’s request, giving in to her spoiled behavior.

I wonder if it means I’m really a siscon like everyone says…?

[Koga Suzuha: It’s evident that Izumi is a siscon~.]

[Natsune Nanase: She gets incredibly excited whenever Yuki’s name comes up.]

[Aki Nekoto: They’re a mutual siscon sister pair….]

[Kurokami Hikari: I think that kind of relationship is sweet.]

[Suzumichi Sakuya: I feel the same! It warms my heart to see them!]

[Tateyama Haru: Is Kayanoh a siscon, by the way?]

[Onodera Sachi: For sure, when we met last time, they were glued to each other.]

[Tateyama Haru: Yeah! You could tell their bond was strong!]

[Tateyama Haru: I think I’m close with my little sister, but not as much as Kayanoh.]

[Miyauchi Sara: …I think it’s nice to see sisters being close. ^_^”]

Whenever such conversations arise in the member or Okatami group chat, I always deny it, saying it’s not that extreme. Yet, to be honest, I do have an immense love for my sister.

But isn’t it weird to dislike someone like that?

How can I dislike a sister who is incredibly cool, always helps me, and loves me?

Affection, in the first place, is something you give as much as you receive.

Simply put, if my sister likes me a lot, then of course, I will end up liking her back a lot too.

In other words, my affection for my sister isn’t because I’m a siscon; it’s just natural.

We’re just incredibly close sisters.

Yeah. So that’s how it is.

“I want to stay like this forever….”

“Hehe….”

In the end, my sister hugged me tightly and fell asleep again, and I decided to indulge in this warmth and softness for a long nap.

“We both should start waking up soon!”

“Okay…”

“Yeah….”

And then I got scolded by Mom for sleeping in too late.

★

“Today, I’m going on a date with my sister.”

“…Huh?”

After everyone had lunch and was resting, my sister suddenly said that.

“Today, I’m going on a date with my sister.”

“No…. it’s not that I didn’t hear you.”

Isn’t that a little sudden? I was planning to lounge around in bed until dinner and then turn on the broadcast.

It wasn’t mentioned by my sister beforehand either….

“Then… today, it’s definitely a date with my sister.”

But it seemed like my sister had already confirmed that I was going on a date with her in her mind.

“What about my wishes…?”

Sister’s lips drooped down sadly.

Just seeing her look like a discarded puppy made my heart ache.

“I-I don’t dislike it…”

“Then it’s settled! Date with your sister confirmed!”

How am I supposed to refuse in this atmosphere?

Honestly, it’s impossible for me.

“Waaah….!”

“H-Haha….”

I felt like I wanted to run away, but that wasn’t going to happen…?

★

“Mina, are you ready?”

“Okay….”

It was 3 PM—the time I had promised to go out with my sister.

I had thought about making an excuse that I suddenly felt sleepy and couldn’t go, but my sister wasn’t that easy to deal with.

She was strict, but also more affectionate toward me than anyone else.

…I wonder if it’s okay to call this strictness?

“Hwa….”

Regardless, I put on my going-out outfit, grabbed my wallet and phone, and left the room, only to find my sister in a button-up shirt and jeans smiling at me.

“Mina, are you planning to go out in that outfit?”

“Huh? Yes….”

Upon my response, my sister suddenly frowned.

I was wearing a button-up shirt and jeans, just like her. It was my favorite outfit for going out, and I thought she’d even like that we matched for a cute couple look…

“…No.”

“What?”

“I won’t allow you to go out in that outfit as your older sister!!!”

“But I’m wearing the same outfit as you?!”

Despite my protests, my sister shook her head firmly, refusing to grant permission.

“That outfit suits me for a date, but you… you would look much cuter in something different. Got it?”

With that, she stood up from the couch and slowly approached me with a smile.

“Hwiik?!”

“I happened to bring a lot of outfits I thought would suit you this time, lucky you.”

So that was her goal from the start!

“M-Mom, help me?!”

“Mina, you have to show Mom every time you change outfits, got it?”

“Yes….”

Now that I think about it, Mom also liked dressing me up?!

In my house, I truly had no allies at all.

★

My sister’s outfit swapping took over an hour.

Thanks to that, the original scheduled time of 3 PM had long passed.

“How is it, Mom?”

“So cute…”

“Of course, it’s obvious that Mina looks cute in anything.”

I ended up having a mini fashion show in front of Mom and my sister each time I changed, which delayed things even further.

At this rate, I feel like our date will be nothing but this all day….

…But if it means I don’t have to go out, maybe this wouldn’t be so bad? Just as that thought crossed my mind, my sister’s outfit changing finally came to an end.

In the end, I ended up wearing a light pink short-sleeved blouse.

The chest area of the outfit had a red butterfly ribbon, and the white collar and sleeves were accented with a dark purple line.

And, of course, I couldn’t wear jeans.

Instead, I had to wear a long black skirt that reached up to my belly, tucking the blouse inside, and I even had to wear white stockings that I usually found too constricting.

“…Mina really suits this cute and pure style the best.”

“Uh-huh….”

As I fidgeted in discomfort, Mom and my sister finally nodded in satisfaction without saying a word.

…Well, considering I’m a truly out-of-this-world beauty, it’s natural that anything would suit me.

That being said, what can I say about the outfit? It feels oddly reminiscent of the old-school animation style.

Now that I’m wearing it, I feel like I should be strumming a guitar….

Anyway, I finally went out with my sister for our date.

It was a bit warmer since my sister clung to me with her arm linked through mine, but I didn’t feel like walking separately at all.

I could intensely feel my sister’s affection for me.

“Is there anything specific you want to do, Mina?”

“Not really….”

It was only natural since I was the one who was dragged out by my sister.

And it didn’t take long for me to regret that statement.

“So today… I’ll go with whatever plan I plan!”

The moment I heard that, I just knew it.

Ah. This is bad.

I might have to give up on the broadcast today….

★

The downtown area was packed with people.

And as expected, we were catching everyone’s eye.

Is it any surprise to see a stunning beauty and a lovely girl walking together?

Well, to be honest, I was just hiding behind my sister, so my face probably wouldn’t be visible at all.

…That being said, my sister is incredibly beautiful.

She’s still actively modeling, so it’s only natural.

With her 172 cm height, strong and healthy slender figure, and long black ponytail, with deep brown eyes that are just like Mom’s.

No matter how you look at it, she does not look 31 at all.

In fact, when I first met Tateyama, she even asked if I was in my early 20s.

It seems like the older she gets, the prettier she becomes.

Even in a simple outfit like a button-up shirt and jeans, she still looks like a handsome guy because of her appearance.

It’s no wonder our looks attract attention.

…Seeing my sister like this made me realize that the outfits she mentioned earlier suited her far better than they did me.

I wish I could be that stylish too.

“Hmph….”

As useless feelings of inferiority flashed through my mind, I lightly bumped my head against her back.

“Is there a problem?”

“Nothing at all…”

“Then, the first place we should go is probably the cinema….”

Instead of being upset at my antics, my sister laughed and pointed towards our first destination.

A cinema, huh?

Looks like it’s time to unleash my ultimate trump card, ‘The Social Butterfly Slayer.’

Could the family and members continue to love me after I cause a massive massacre…?

As I followed my sister while lost in thought, someone blocked her path.

“Hey there, miss. Are you busy?”

Two casual-looking guys.

It was blatantly evident they were trying to hit on us.

I guess they didn’t want to get involved in annoying situations since no one around seemed to care about what was happening.

“If you’re free, why not hang out with us? We’d love to have that cute little kid hiding behind you join us too.”

“Hwiik?!”

“We had plans to spend just the two of us today.”

“Don’t be so shy~.”

Despite my sister’s firm rejection, the two guys showed no signs of retreat.

Instead, they tried to grab my wrist, which was hiding behind my sister.

Noticing this, my sister immediately pulled me back, turned around, and swatted away the guy’s hand at the same time.

“Geez, really, miss….”

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

“When I say it nicely, just scram.”

Wow, how cool, sis….

I thought that, but the two guys seemed to get offended and were ready to lash out.

“Get lost.”

But then “Puh!” With a loud noise, one of the guys suddenly fell down after receiving a kick from my sister.

He fainted in one hit.

“What are you doing?!”

“You wanna end up like him?”

“…I-I’m sorry!”

As my sister’s last words echoed, the man ran off while helping his fallen companion.

After glaring at those two, my sister immediately turned back and hugged me.

“Mina, are you hurt? That dirty hand didn’t touch you, did it?”

“Ah, no. Thanks to you, I didn’t get hurt at all….”

“Thank goodness. It would be a shame to let some trash ruin our lovely date.”

My sister looked down at me, lightly frowning as she spoke.

“I actually enjoyed getting to see my cool sister’s side, hehe….”

“…Oh, come on!”

“Ugh?!”

I couldn’t help but think how both her badass moments and her clumsy looks were equally impressive.

…It seems I might be a little bit of a siscon too.

But no denying, she’s undeniably cool.

Yep.

★

It was truly a coincidence when Hikari saw the scene unfold.

But now that she had witnessed it, there was no turning back.

Thankfully, before Hikari could intervene, Yuki had already wrapped things up, but just to be on the safe side, Hikari suggested following the two with Yuto and Yurie.

“Those two… will not be forgiven.”

“Didn’t they say they were heading to the cinema? Let’s wait for them in front.”

Sure enough, those two guys showed no signs of remorse.

So, Hikari instructed Yurie.

“Handle them, Yurie.”

“Understood, young lady.”

“Don’t kill them.”

“I’ll do my best.”

And after that day…

The two rude hunters vanished from sight in Tokyo entirely.
