Chapter 347. [Dai-shuki~ Dai-shuki]

"…Huh!?"

I snapped back to reality and looked around.

Uh… what was I doing again? Oh, right. We're in the middle of a baby-themed stream…

"Aaah~! Iroha-sama has snapped back to reality!"

"Well, after playing that much, of course."

"Iroha, that was so good! Mufufu!"

What are they talking about?

Wait, how much time has passed!?

"W-What happened? I barely remember anything!"

Was it because the pacifier made my brain stop working…? Or maybe my survival instincts locked away the memory because it was so awful.

The only thing I vaguely remember… is being forced to say "I love you" to everyone.

"Iroha, you love me so much, don't you~?"

"Auu~! I love Ogu~!"

"No, no! Iroha-sama loves me the most, right~?"

"Kyakya! Iliena-chan is my ‘most' favorite~!"

"No, no~! Iroha-chan loves me the most, right~☆"

"Ah, umm… Big Sis is fine…"

"Why am I the only one~!?"

≫Anego's baby act is sooo awkward, lol

≫Why though? Anyone else would be called "cute"

≫Even baby Iroha treating Anego coldly is hilarious

Wait, did I really not say anything to Aa-ne~?

It seems even under extreme conditions, my instincts refused to sweet-talk her in public.

Huh? What about everyone else, you ask?

…No way. I didn’t secretly confess to everyone using this baby act as an excuse. Nope. Not at all.

"Anyway, that’s a wrap! Now, let's move on to the results! Although, I think everyone already knows, right~?"

"Yup." "Indeed."

"Huh?"

"Then, Ogu, please announce the 1st place winner!"

"Leave it to me. The winner of the first-ever Baby Contest, and the one who earned the title of Best of Baby is…"

"…IROHA~~~~!"

After a drumroll, the stream screen lit up with a spotlight effect.

A deliberately cheesy fanfare played, and a standing image of ‘Translator Girl Iroha' was highlighted.

"Eh, whaaat!? Why me!? We haven’t even voted yet!"

"There's no need for that!"

"After seeing and hearing that… no one could pick anyone but Iroha-chan. It's frustrating, but I'll give up the win this time."

"I don't want it at all! Why is Aa-ne holding back at a time like this!?"

≫Yeah~ That was seriously next-level powerful.

≫Iroha-chan is a real baby. We can vouch for it.

≫Honestly, that was… just… wow.

"Wait, what exactly did I say? I don't want any more embarrassing moments to pile up!"

I held my head in my hands.

Ugh, I need to watch my oshi’s stream right now. I need healing. Urgently.

"Ugh, that’s it! The event is over! You all enjoyed it enough, right!? So—Mama, hurry up and end this stream already!"

"Hm?" "Huh?" "Ooooh!"

"…Eh? Nooo!? That was a mistake!?"

I accidentally said "Mama" naturally.

Wh-why did I make the worst mistake at the worst possible time!?

"Oh? What do you mean by ‘mistake'?"

"As expected of Iroha-sama, that was such a natural baby phrase. The winner really was Iroha-sama."

"Who exactly were you calling ‘Mama' just now? C'mon, tell your big sis~!"

"I-I wasn't calling anyone that! Oh my gosh, shut up, shut up! That was just a slip from the acting! It's not like that at all!"

"Heheh~ That was the perfect end!"

"Yep, it sure was. Well then, everyone, ‘Otsukareta!'"

"‘Otsukareta!'"

"‘Otsukareta!'☆"

"Wait, don’t end it here! My viewers are still misunderstanding—"

But my words were cut off mercilessly.

And so, the baby-themed stream came to an end…

***

《Ugh, it really wasn’t like that at all~》

《Hey, Iroha. Stop sulking already.》

As I slumped over my desk, Angu Ogu, who had already finished cleaning up, spoke to me from the side.

I know… I know it’s all over already.

"…Sigh~"

But yeah, Angu Ogu is right.

It’s pointless to keep moping. I’ll just watch a stream and lift my mood. When my oshi smiles, most of my worries disappear.

《Unnn~~~~》

Angu Ogu usually clings to me with excessive enthusiasm, but it’s rare for her to just stare like this.

《Uh, is something wrong?》

It’s… making me uncomfortable since I’m not used to it.

I finally couldn’t stand it and asked.

《If you need something, it’d help if you just said it…》

《Ah, no!? I-I guess so…》

《?》

For some reason, she was really hesitant.

But after a moment, she seemed to gather her courage and spoke.

《Iroha, earlier… you said you didn’t get enough of being the mom, right?》

《Huh? No, that was just in the moment…》

《Hey, Iroha. Could you… just once, totally spoil me like a baby?》

《…Wha!?》

What kind of request is that?

Even Angu Ogu, embarrassed by her own words, blushed and fidgeted awkwardly.

《Well… I mean, sure, I guess.》

I think I was just as red as she was.

We both glanced at each other nervously. It was Angu Ogu who made the first move.

《S-So… should we go to the bed?》

《…Y-Yeah.》

I nodded, tightly gripping the hand she held out――.
