Chapter 106. [The World's Best Little Sister]
Wha- What's going on!?
How did their opinion change 180 degrees in just a minute!?
<Well, I can see you're busy, so I'll on my way! I have lots of things to do! Oh, Iroha-san, you have such a wonderful older sister! Well then, adieu!!>
<Huh? Wait a sec-.>
The call abruptly ends.
What the heck!?
"What on earth did you do, Ah-nee!?"
"Huh? I just asked for some help, you know? Hey, by the way, I couldn't ask the other person because it was too awkward, but what language were you speaking earlier?"
"You were having a conversation without even knowing the language!?"
"Well, it was all about the flow and enthusiasm, you know!"
"Seriously!?"
Why does that work!?
And why are you only modest about irrelevant things?
"Ha-ha-ha! Well, well. So, what do you think? You're pretty useful too, aren't you?"
"Hahaha! Well, well. So, how about it? Your big sister is quite helpful, isn't she?"
Ah-nee snickers triumphantly. I let out a sigh of resignation.
"Alright, alright! I got it! I'll send you the list, and you can handle contacting those people!"
"Got it!"
I leave the communication with other VTubers to my sister.
She recruits new members at a faster pace than I did.
What's with this communication skill?
It's truly amazing! I don't understand it at all!
With Ah-nee joining, we're now complete, but there are still areas where we lack manpower.
The most notable example is translation.
In some countries, VTubers themselves are relatively unknown.
Even if they start sharing information, many of them may not become trending.
I used to create highlights from their streams.
Or I added subtitles to clips made by fans.
I would then create public playlists of these videos to promote and guide viewers.
To ensure that more languages reach more countries.
"Oh, we're short-handed here too!"
Video editing skills are almost essential for VTubers.
Only a few VTubers have never done it before.
Therefore, creating highlight videos can be done by the streamers themselves or their VTuber acquaintances.
But the subtitles were a different story.
I had no connections, and if I were to hire someone for the job, it would take too long until it was completed.
The presidential election in the United States was approaching rapidly.
"At this rate, we won't make it in time!"
I relied on automatic translation to add subtitles and only fixed the incorrect parts.
That reduced the workload, but I still couldn't keep up.
At times like this, I keenly feel the low foreign language proficiency of Japanese and American people.
In Japan, as long as you know Japanese, you won't have any trouble in daily life. And in America, English is considered the universal language.
My acquaintance, VTubers, is naturally the most numerous in Japan, followed by the United States.
Should I have made acquaintances other than VTubers for times like this?
No, that would have been impossible!
If I had that time, I would have just watched their streams!
And just as I was struggling with these thoughts.
The door burst open with a bang!
"What now!?"
"I-I-Iroha-chan! M-M-Ma-i is here! Haa, haa..."
"Mai!? Can't you sisters at least knock before entering!?"
As if in déjà vu, it was Mai who appeared, breathing heavily and approaching me.
"Eek!? D-Don't come any closer!"
"W-What are you saying, Iroha-chan? I heard from Onee-chan, haa, haa... You want Mai to do... th-those naughty things to you! That's why Mai hurriedly came here... Haa, haa!"
"Ah-nee!?"
When I gave her a fierce glare, Ah-nee showed me her smartphone with a sent message and laughed gleefully.
Damn it, why did she have to bring such a bombshell into this already busy situation!?
"Well, well, my little sister, you truly live up to expectations! You came here so quickly! Now, help Iroha-chan, okay?"
"Huh?"
Mai tilted her head in confusion.
Ah-nee announced.
"I told you, Iroha-chan... that she needs 'H-E-L-P'!"
"Onee-chan, uuuuu!"
Mai collapsed.
And you, Ah-nee, wipe that "I've got you" expression off your face, or I'll punch you. Cut it out!
"Well, it's fine, it's fine... I knew it all along. I knew deep down that Iroha-chan doesn't like Mai. So, I figured this was probably a lie too, but I couldn't help but hope..."
"Ugh, fine! Fine, I get it!"
What a chaotic situation!
Well, as long as they don't bother me anymore.
I'm fine with it!
I tried to get back to my work.
However, Ah-nee called out to me, "Iroha-chan" to stop me.
"What now?"
"I can solve your problem, Mai."
"If it's Iroha-chan's problem, Mai can solve it."
"...Huh?"
I looked at Mai, and she tilted her head in confusion.
Ah-nee confidently declared.
"My little sister is amazing.
