CH 16

Chapter 16. [What’s Weird About Japan]

“Ah-neeee!”

I grabbed onto her and shook her head.

“Yo, Yooouuu～!”

“Haha, Iroha-chan, you surprised? I’m so glad you’re so pleased. It was worth it to surprise you~!”

“Oh, no! I told you that when I found out who Monet Anegasaki was! [I don’t want to ruin my position as a VTuber fan!] Aaaaahhhh, of all people, I just saw the 3D body of my oshi… ～～～～!”

“I forgot, that’s not enough, ～～～～!”

Ah-nee stuck out her tongue and laughed.

I collapsed and plopped down on the floor, tears streaming down my face. I’ll never forgive you, stupid Ah-nee.

<Uh, uh. Maybe we shouldn’t see each other? Anego asked me to write an autograph for Iroha-chan>

<What, autograph? Oh, no, you didn’t! I’m a big fan, of course. I’m happy to see you. Oh, no, I’m happy. Ugh, vomit>

<You Okay?>

I had a promise to Ah-nee.

Maybe Ah-nee was trying to fulfill her promise. If I interpret it positively.

But the promise was to be autographed.

Who could have imagined that she would sign it in person?

<Actually, I’ve always wanted to meet Iroha-chan. How old are you now? It’s already August, but you haven’t graduated from elementary school yet in Japan, right? You’re small and cute!>

<No, I think Ogu-chan is the small one.>

<I’m not tiny! I’m a hot girl with a nice body!>

Angu-ogu posed in a sexy pose with her hips thrust out.

It looked like a child acting like an adult.

Anego laughed when he saw her pose.

“That’s right, Ogu is sexy, isn’t she? She’s so mature when she comes to Japan, she’s mistaken for a child and stopped at the airport.”

“Ugh! You promised not to say that!”

Angu-ogu could understand a little Japanese, so he was thrusting in Japanese.

It was a scene so easily imagined that I laughed too.

<Iroha~! I laughed, didn’t you?>

<Hyah~! I’m sorry! It’s not that! Why is Ogu-chan here?>

<I’m here to play!>

It is true that in her most recent delivery, she said that she was currently preparing for an appointment.

However, there was no way I could have predicted that it would be in Japan, or even at Ah-nee’s house.

“Okay, now that we’re all here, let’s go!”

“Go where?”

“Well, of course.”

＊　　＊　　＊

“Sightseeing!”

So we got into a cab that Ah-nee had called and went out to the city.

Angu-ogu’s eyes were sparkling as she looked from place to place.

“Where do you want to go, Ogu?”

“Yoshinoya, Coco Curry, Mr. Donut …… and I want to go to the Convenience Store!”

“Ha ha ha! All you do is eat! Ogu is a foodie, isn’t she? Well, she’s growing up, I guess.”

“Don’t treat me like a child!”

We paraded through the streets, arguing about such things.

Ogu would ask, “What’s that?” and “What’s this?”, and reacted to a lot of things.

Walking down the street, she went to.

<Why are there so many vending machines?>

She was amazed.

When we entered a restaurant.

<The customer service was so attentive, I felt like an elite. Mwah!>

<I also know the manners of eating.” Itadakimasu”.>

<Oh, my. This is “gyuudon”? It’s too good! Let me take this sauce back to America!>

<I’ve learned this one the hard way. In Japan, we are not supposed to tip. Instead, you say, “Gotchisosama deshita!”>

She shows it off with a smug look on her face.

When I went to a convenience store.

<Eh! ? “Sweat” is sold as a drink!>

<Why are these Haagendas so small and expensive! ?>

<The dessert after the meal is this “Matcha Shiratama Anmitsu”. It looks cute and delicious!>

She enjoyed shopping.

We returned to Ah-nee’s house with the convenience store bag in our hand.

Angu-ogu had just arrived in Japan.

Since she was still jet-lagged, we decided to stay in the neighborhood today and be prepared for tomorrow.

Then I thought we were going to take a break.

“What are you talking about? We still have work to do, right?”

“What?”

“Have you forgotten what we do?”

And so.

＊　　＊　　＊

“‘How are you all? I’m everyone’s big sister☆.’. I’m Monet Anegasaki☆”

<“Gurururu…… Domo Zombie desu. I’m Angu-ogu! >

“‘My words for you!’ I’m Iroha, the girl who translates.”

>I love Anegooo!

>Yaaaah, Ogu!

>Iroha-chan kita!

The chats flow.

I watched it from next to Ah-nee.

I can’t do tracking today, so I’m only participating in the stop-motion pictures.

Angu-ogu is standing next to me with her laptop computer, which she brought from the U.S.

“Everyone~. You’re already aware of it,-nee? Today is an offline collab Ogu and Iroha-chan!”

“Domo, Minasan of Japan. I’m here in Japan right now. I’m in Anego’s room.”

The chat quickly becomes lively.

Questions are coming from both Japan and the US all at once. Where did you go? What did you do? What do you think? etc.

Angu-ogu answered them in a fast-paced manner.

Anego revealed some embarrassing episodes of Angu-ogu’s life, and I translated and commented on them.

When we got the topic of Japanese convenience stores came up.

<Actually, I just bought some sweets at a convenience store in Japan! I’m going to eat it now.>

Like that

I see. So that’s why she didn’t eat it right away.

Both of them were in tune with the stream.

Come to think of it, the sweets we bought were also very Japanese. I didn’t notice and just bought what she wanted to eat.

I realized how different they were from me as streamers.

I realized that popular VTubers have their reasons for being popular. And they are backed up by their efforts.

<Then, “Itadakimasu”. ……N~~? This white rice cake? Very tasty! This square one doesn’t taste much. The matcha is. Hmmm, it’s a grown-up taste. But when you eat it all together, it’s great!>

We showed the picture of the items Angu-ogu bought on the delivery.

Next, we showed a picture of the products that Ah-nee bought.

“This is delicious too. Try it, Ogu.”

“What is this? Apo?”

“Yes, yes, apo-apo!”

>Oh,

>Anego, you!

>Japanese apples are much smaller and red. (Eng)

<‘Itadakimasu’. Ah~n., nngghh! What? Sour! It’s soooooooooooooooo sour! What is this? What is it?>

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Yay, the prank success! Ogu, that’s crunchy plum.”

I explained about crunchy plums to the foreigners and Angu-ogu.

After struggling for a while and swallowing it, Angu Ogu grabbed onto her sister.

<You damn Anego! You did it again! I thought you were going to take my mouth off! Hah, hah, now my mouth is in trouble! You didn’t even point it out on purpose, Iroha!>

<‘Yabbe’……Ah, I can’t read Japanese. I didn’t notice.>

>wwww! (Eng)

>Wow, you’re a hyperpolyglot! (Eng)

>Wow, you can read or not read conveniently, can’t you? www (Eng)

And well, the stream was such a great success.

Before we knew it, it was already a good time, and I said my customary greetings, “Otsukareta, arigeta.”

In the end, Angu-ogu said, <I will never forget the taste of ‘crunchy plum’>. In a bad way.

Naturally, that part clipped to pieces.
