Chapter 307: – Alfi Titor – [Just Chatting] I missed you! Merry Christmas! (part I)

A warm and cozy looking room with a fireplace and Christmas decorations all over. In the corner, a Christmas tree wrapped with tinsel and a few ornaments. A few opened gift boxes neatly stacked next to the tree, along with carefully folded wrapping paper.

And in the middle of that room was Alfi. Wearing an oversized Christmas sweater with a blue dragon clumsily stitched across the front and orange fireworks on the sleeves, she let out a bright smile and held out a wrapped present to the camera.

[Just Chatting] I missed you! Merry Christmas!

[Alfis_Knight] Alfi-sama! Merry Christmas!

[outlyingLizard] <Supersticker - 20 USD> :weddingcake:

[wornoutHeron] Did UTube change its chat again?

[drearyMandrill] Since when can we reply to users in chat? :confused:

[peskyRelish] Ooh. There are chat filters on our side now? Neat!

[jealousBobolink] So what do you guys think is up with Alfi and Aoko?

[alertFalcon] Something *totally* happened over Christmas.

[spiritedApricots] My bet's on drinking too much and waking up sleeping next to each other.

[somberMallard] Isn't Alfi too young to drink?

[cruelCow] O-Oh. Right...

4 minutes.

[Alfis_Cocoa] Alfi-sama! I missed you too!

[Alfis_Chair] Did you rest well? Don't overwork yourself!

[Alfis_Bed] You have to take care of your health too!

[sheepishToucan] I hope Christmas was fun!

[goofyLion] There was a lot of cool fanart over Christmas!

[bubblyGranola] There were some good ones on Protolood too. :)

3 minutes.

[kindLizard] Hana sent us over!

[lovesickDingo] So we hear there's a story involving Aoko...

[dejectedCamel] Did Queen get drunk and do something embarrassing?

[crushedSwift] I got a lot of Christmas money!

[bubblySeafowl] Me too! Supachatto time!

[panickyMussel] So I saw that John opened a giftbox widget on the website. Does it work yet?

[grumpyDoves] Wait, really?

[yearningFish] Ooh! I saw that you can send gifts in MIRAIZ! Real ones!

2 minutes.

[crushedSwift] Did your kouhais take the week off?

[thrilledShads] I wanted to Superchat the Prodigies too...

[grumpySnail] Videos are nice and all, but chatting with the girls is best...

[Rhea Davinki Ch. <M>] We're working on a big collab to celebrate memberships, so just wait a bit.

[Rhea Davinki Ch. <M>] Wait. Why is the wrench an M now? It's so ugly! UTube, go back!

[worldlySyrup] lol

[aloofHeron] Yeah! The new comment section is weird too!

[soreMandrill] John just needs to buy UTube already.

[ardentWhiting] Hah! I'm watching on the MIRAIZ app. It's sooo much better.

[MIRAIZ <M>] <Hajime-kun: 1000 USD> Alfi best girl. Fight me.

[MIRAIZ <M>] <Prof_Euclid: 100 EUR> You idiot musclebrain. There is no purpose to using so much money now when the animation cannot play.

[MIRAIZ <M>] <Hajime-kun: 1000 USD> Two words that rhyme with honey and wandering. JK.

1 minute.

[fondTacos] Is MIRAIZ a bot?

[grumpySnail] Oh! That must be the API bot for the MIRAIZ app!

[GoldenOrca] Wait. Are donations uncapped in the MIRAIZ app?

[MIRAIZ <M>] <GoldenOrca: 5000 USD> Test.

[sheepishToucan] JESUS

[lovesickSnail] WTF

[betrayedJaguar] H-Hey! Is GoldenOrca actually an oil baron...?

[GoldenOrca] Huh. So Aetherium is automatically converted. Interesting.

[solidEland] Wait, what?

Waiting for Alfi Titor Ch...

The thumbnail dissolved in a swirl of snowflakes. Afterwards, it still showed a Christmas scene. But instead of a realistic scene, everything turned chibi. Like a diorama scene from above. There, Alfi sat in front of the fireplace, wrapped up in a blue blanket while happily sipping a steaming mug of cocoa.

[thriftyHawk] @#[email protected]#$!

[cruelPaella] MirAIs Minis when!?

[murkyStork] OMG! I want that!

[panickyCur] <200 USD> Take my money!

[vengefulThrushe] <200 CAD> Investing in the merch fund.

[lyingFish] <20K yen> Preordering chibi Alfi

[aboardCaribou] Ooh! Alfi has Superchats on!

[excitedSheep] Have Superchats been on this entire time?

[wornoutHeron] Bruh. Did you just get here?

[gutturalSalt] <10K yen> Please treat Hana to something nice.

"Can you hear me?" A soft and warm voice. Alfi's. "Sorry to make you wait a bit longer, everyone. I missed you a lot, but I forgot to do something. I'll be right back, promise!"

[Alfis_Fan] Take your time!

[stressedBuck] We can wait a whole day for Aoko. A few minutes is nothing.

[amazedPie] So what's the Alfi-Aoko conversion right now?

[awedFerret] I dunno. One 'Aoko' seems to get bigger with every stream...

[lewd_dude] Two 'Hanas' seem to get bigger too, if you know what I mean.

[MIRAIZ <M>] lewd_dude has been timed out for 10000 years.

[crummyCheese] lmao

[holisticChile] That's one heck of a sophisticated bot...

[MIRAIZ <M>] <Automated Response> I am not a bot, but a prototype artificial intelligence. Greetings.

[soreChile] Sus

[thriftyThrushe] SUS

[sadSeahorse] sus

[MIRAIZ <M>] <Automated Response> T_T

"There!"

A soft bell jingled and then snowflakes covered the screen. When they faded, the revealed Alfi sitting in the warm Christmas decorated room shown on the thumbnail.

"Good morning, afternoon, evening everyone!" Alfi let out a bright smile and said, "I missed you a lot! Did you miss me?"

[Alfis_Knight] ALWAYS

[grumpyOil] It felt like six trillion years!

[Alfis_doormat] No, because I wasn't living without your smile. T_T

Alfi adjusted her Christmas sweater and then glanced at the chat. When she saw that latest message, she gasped and said, "That's no good! I don't want you to live your life like that, Mister Doormat!" She shook her head and looked up at the screen. "It felt like that for me too, but you have to remember that we're still both alive in this world. Even if it might seem lonely, just the thought that somewhere out there on the other side of the screen is you..." Alfi placed her hands over her chest and smiled. "That's enough, isn't it?"

[Alfis_Doormat] I'M SO SORRY! I'M NOT WORTHY! orz

[Alfis_Knight] Alfis! Tonight, downtown! We must show our devotion to Alfi-sama!

[Alfis_Chair] YOSH!

[Alfis_134] YES!

[enviousOatmeal] Why are Alfi's fans always so... extra?

[resolvedCaviar] Parasocial relationships are dangerous.

[cynicalLard] Get yourself a girl who loves you like Alfi does.

[somberWidgeon] I don't want to lewd. I just want to be praised. T_T

[Alfis_Paladin] Alfi isn't a waifu. She's the bestest sister ever.

[Ohana_dayo] @Alfis_Paladin Those are fighting words.

[StraightGarbage] @Alfis_Paladin But Aoko is the best step-sister ever. :eyewaggle:

[Hana Homura Ch. <M>] @StraightGarbage I'm telling Aneue.

[StraightGarbage] @Hana Homura Ch. I'M SORRY. PLEASE DON'T.

[Hana Homura Ch. <M>] @StraightGarbage :)

[StraightGarbage] T_T

Alfi's eyes scanned the chat and she laughed. "Everyone's so lively today. I'm happy to see it-"

A soft jingle echoed. When it did, some presents started materializing in front of the Christmas tree. There were a few red boxes, some smaller blue and green boxes, and the occassional pink. And then there were two giant ruby boxes, with a towering golden box standing next to it.

"Oh!" Alfi turned around and then giggled. "I guess people found the secret already. Meanies. I wanted to surprise you."

[Hajime-kun] Oops.

[GoldenOrca] Perfect. @StraightGarbage @FailureFox You know what to do later.

[StraightGarbage] @GoldenOrca :thumbsup:

[FailureFox] @GoldenOrca Downloading the app now. :evilsmirk:

Alfi rolled a blue beanbag over from the side before plopping herself on it. After that, she made herself comfortable, crossing her legs.

Her bare legs.

[excitedApples] O.o

[amazedSardines] T_T We've been blessed...

[outlyingFish] The legendary oversized sweater dress! :O

[MIRAIZ <M>] <feet_appreciator: 100 USD> Good Civ.

[fondMeerkat] <Supersticker - 100 CAD> :blobmelt:

[outlyingOrange] <Supersticker - 100 EUR> :cameraflash:

Alfi leaned back to stretch her arms and then smiled at the screen. "I get why Meggie likes dressing like this now. It's really comfortable."

[abjectWasp] Meggie?

[importedMallard] Ohoho?

[wingedCoati] Smith/Titor triple daughter debut stream when?

[needyRelish] Still waiting for Betty's reveal.

[spiritedEland] Wait. So Meggie's the youngest sister, right? And she dresses like that?

[worriedEggs] RIP John.

Alfi shook her head and then reached off screen to pick up a steaming mug of hot cocoa with a mini candycane dangling on the rim. "It's a bit early to be super cozy, but why don't we relax and enjoy each other for a while?"

[fondBuzzard] Cozy times with Alfi... :blobmelt:

[troubledOatmeal] Definitely too early for 4AM gang. Worth tho.

[pridefulOrange] Night gang ftw. :snuggle:

[cultured_swine] Is it just me, or are all the girls lewder than usual...?

[insecureDinosaur] @cultured_swine It's just you.

Alfi stirred the cocoa with the candycane before taking a sip. After that, she uncrossed her legs and leaned forward, smiling into the camera.

[unhappyCaribou] D-Dangerous...

[dreadfulBoa] We almost saw the divine artifact...

[crummyCheese] YABE

[Aoko Ryuusei Ch. <M>] Alfi! Put some clothes on!

Alfi glanced at the chat and then blinked. "Eh? Why do I have to put more clothes on, Aoko?"

[mercifulLemur] Yeah! Alfi's fine like this, Aoko!

[StraightGarbage] Ohoho. Is Queenie jealous?

[Aoko Ryuusei Ch. <M>] @StraightGarbage Shut up!

[Aoko Ryuusei Ch. <M>] Pick up your phone!

Alfi blinked and then tilted her head, frowning. "Pick up my phone...?"

[Play: Kataomoi - Aimer]

At that time, a familiar voice echoed from off to the side, singing a song.

*Darlin, all my dreams came true with you*

*And yet I just can't find the words to tell to you, oh-*

*Darlin, you made my dreams all come true*

*Oh I love you too.*

Alfi froze.

The chat froze.

It was a recording. A recording of Aoko. A recording of Aoko singing. But it wasn't just a recording of Aoko singing. It was a sincere and emotional, warbly and somewhat messy singing. Like a love confession.

Alfi's face turned a bright red and she quietly sipped on her cocoa.

[Aoko Ryuusei Ch. <M>] WTF! WHY IS THAT THERE?! WHEN? HOW?!

[Hana Homura Ch. <M>] Whoops. Forgot to change it back...

[Aoko Ryuusei Ch. <M>] SIS! WHY!?

[goofyCamel] OMG THE SHIP HAS SAILED

[gloomyWeaver] LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO!

[Alfis_Knight] AOKO-CHAN WHY?!

[Alfis_Paladin] TONIGHT! WE SLAY THE DRAGON!

[Alfi_Couch] HERETIC! BETRAYER!

[StraightGarbage] :popcorn:

[Ohana_dayo] S-Sasuga, imouto...

[crummyFlamingo] A-Are we sure that Hana is really an idol?

[affectedDoughnut] Well. Guess Tweeter's about to break again.

[rational_rabbit] Nice. Gotta love 1:100 odds paying out.
