Volume 4 - CH 41.1

“…Now, can you tell me the reason?”

I had invited Yuuki-san into my room because it was late.

It was uncomfortable to have a woman wandering around at this hour, and it would be bad for her future if someone she knew was involved in some kind of crime.

I asked her a question as she sipped the coffee I had made.

“Do you want to know why I ran away from home?”

“Um, yes, I do…”

She’s supposed to be a stay-at-home otaku.

Therefore, she must have been in a very terrible situation to run away from home.

Even though I know that it’s not a good idea to get involved in this kind of thing, but if I don’t ask, I don’t get anything done.

“Hmm … It’s going to be long if I talk about this again …”

“Please tell me in ten words or less.”

“I had a fight with my mom.”

Yuuki-san was able to explain in exactly ten words. (TN: In Japanese.)

This person is amazing in a sense.

She fought with her mother to the point of running away from home, which might be a pretty important reason.

“What is the reason?”

“My mom kept nagging me to work…”

“…!”

I retracted my previous statement, it was a helpless reason.

Well, this person is certainly a recluse who doesn’t work.

“However, I do have an income.”

“That? Yuzuki-san is a famous commentator …, right?”

“Do you know my channel by any chance?”

“Haha… Well, Sarasa-san once told me about it, so I just looked it up out of curiosity…”

I’m pretty sure she’s on a video site called MyTube, where she works as the famous live-action player YuzuYuzu.

She has over a million subscribers to her channel, has an unbelievable amount of views, and has been described in the comments as a goddess of live-action.

I’ve heard that she earns far more money from advertising than any normal company employee.

So there’s no problem with her being a recluse…

“I’m sure your mother understands that, doesn’t she?”

“I’m sure she does, but …there was a time when Shoryu-kun came to our house, right? And there was a time when my mother recommended me to Shoryu-kun, right?”

“…Ah, yes, there was.”

Her mother apologized that Sarasa-san had done something stupid, and tried to offer Yuuki-san to me instead.

Of course, I refused, But those eyes looked like they were serious.

“Don’t tell me she is …trying to get me to marry you for real?”

“Yes. I’ll be able to find a job that will allow me to marry Shoryu-kun. You see, MyTube has pretty strict regulations, right? If I do something wrong, my account can be suspended. If that happened, I would lose my only source of income. That’s why my mom and I fought to find a stable income for me…”

“So you and your mother had a fight…?”

“That’s right.”

…It’s really none of my business.

In short, a fight broke out between his mother, who wanted her to get a job with a stable income, and Yuuki, whose sole purpose in life is posting videos.

“My mother wanted me to get a steady job. So, she got rid of all my stuff, like my laptop and my microphone. I was so pissed off…”

When I heard her story, it reminded me of an internet copy and paste.

The story of the wife who threw away her husband’s collection without permission.

I feel terrible for that one, but I’m sure Yuzuki-san’s mother did it out of concern for her future.

This is the only time she can earn money from video posting sites.

As the years go by, the number of viewers will inevitably decrease.

It’s only natural that viewers will watch better and more interesting videos.

“I know that I can’t go on like this, but my mother’s methods are too harsh!”

“Um, it’s true that the way she does it is terrible, but that’s what a mother does for her child…”

“She’s gone too far for that! Hmph!”

“Calm down, Yuzu Yuzu.”

“…If this happens it can’t be helped, Shoryu-kun, you take me as your wife, right?”
