Chapter 247: [Complete!]
"Iroha-sama~! Saying goodbye already is just not acceptable! No way!"
"Y-yeah. It's nice that you're sad to see me go, but we're in the airport lobby, you know? People are watching."
I give a wry smile as I hold Ilyena's hand while she sobs loudly.
Today is finally the day I return to America.
Ah-nee and Mai were supposed to come to see me off, but they seemed to be running late.
And my mom is watching from a distance literally.
"Ilyena-chan, she's that girl, right? Jeez, you really"
"No, no, it's not like that at all!"
"Iroha-samaaa~!"
"Hey, wait a minute!? Don't cling to me even more!? You're just making things more confusing!"
I push Ilyena away, sighing deeply.
There are a few things I resent her for.
"Because of the ASMR stream incident, Mom said some embarrassing things to me It was really embarrassing, you know!?"
"Iroha-sama, it'll be okay."
"What do you mean, okay? Nothing is okay!"
"It'll be fine soon enough."
"No, it's not okay! I don't have a heart of steel like you!"
However, Ilyena tilts her head in confusion at my words.
What's with that puzzled look?
"Iroha-sama, I thought you had a broader and more tolerant heart towards such matters."
"You're not fooling anyone. I've practically spilled everything already. Besides, I do feel embarrassed to some extent, you know?"
"Hmm. Isn't it a bit late for that now?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, we already attended the class reunion in that state."
"What did you say?"
I grimaced, my face contorting in disbelief.
Could it be that the classmates we met recently?
"Yes. Almost everyone watched that ASMR stream or the clipped videos."
"Whaaat!?"
Wait, hold on!
And yet, despite that, I chatted amicably with them?
"How did they see us then!? Could it be that they took it seriously?"
"There was a lot of discussion in the class group chat. It's interesting."
Ilyena shows me her smartphone screen.
The LIME message history displayed these lines:
[That ASMR was intense, huh!?]
[Ilyesha was even better than usual!]
[I hope Iroha collaborates with her again!]
[It was kinda lewd. Is that okay? Especially Iroha.]
[I can't see Iroha-chan with innocent eyes anymore, she's too sexy!]
[Are those two dating for real?]
"Nooo!?"
I held my head in my hands, squatting down.
My life as Iroha, my highest priority, now faced its greatest embarrassment.
And what's with the for real' in there?
I may be a VTuber, but I'm not doing any Yuri business!
"I-I can't I can never face my classmates again."
"You say that, but you wouldn't have wanted to attend the reunion anyway, right?"
Well, that's true.
I probably won't have any more opportunities to interact with them in the future I thought.
"Speaking of which, Iroha-sama. Everyone entrusted me with this for you.'"
"Huh? What's this about? What, huh!?"
Ilyena hands me a bag she took out of her purse.
When I checked inside, it was filled with coaster sets.
OOnethat you can only get at a VTuber collaboration cafe, and we had the complete set.
"W-What's this!?"
"They talked about collecting' them at the reunion. So, everyone in the class went, and got them for you."
"Wow! Can I really have these!?"
"Of course. And if you don't, it'd be a problem for me."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"I'm glad you're happy."
"Tell everyone thank you' for me!"
"If you can, directly from Iroha-sama maybe during a livestream or something, mention how happy you were about this. They'd appreciate that more."
"Got it! I understand!"
I gleefully examine the random coasters.
Who would have thought they'd all be complete like this!?
This was my biggest regret on this return trip.
As I bounce around happily, Ilyena looks at me with a mix of amusement and bewilderment.
"Irohasama is truly Irohasama, huh? Ideally, I'd like you to be less of a bother But including that, I like"
"I-RO-HA-CHAAAAN!"
Interrupting whatever Ilyena was saying, Mai appears.
She grabs me tightly, and I let out a surprised "Gehh.".
"Sorry for coming at the last minute! I came to see you off! But I don't want you to go!"
"Haha! Mai, you're full of energy! Hey there, onee-chan also came to see you off!"
"Mai-san, why do you always have to be so intrusive!?"
Even though it was already noisy a moment ago, now it was even more chaotic.
And yet, amidst this chaos, our parting was imminent.
The boarding time was less than 5 minutes away.
