Chapter 107. [Presidential Election, Begins]

"W-What!? There's nothing Mai can do, right!?"

"Of course there is."

"Well, well, Iroha-chan. Why don't we consult with her?"

I gave Mai a dubious look.

Mai shook her head vigorously.

However, Ah-nee insisted, "It's fine, it's fine," urging me on.

Sigh... Well, it won't hurt to talk, I suppose.

"Well, you see, we're short on manpower for translations. But telling Mai won't help. I don't have any acquaintances who are multilingual speakers or anything."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Mai looked at me in confusion.

Then, hesitantly, she said,

"If that's the case, Mai can solve that easily."

"What? M-Mai, do you have such an acquaintance!?"

"I don't have one! That's why I can't do anything, but I think Iroha-chan can solve that problem herself, you know?"

"Me?"

I tilted my head.

Wait, no. I'm the one who doesn't have anyone to rely on.

"Remember? Iroha-chan has someone who might be able to help with translations."

"Someone, I know? No, all the VTubers I know are monolingual."

"Your acquaintances aren't just VTubers, right?"

"...No? Only VTubers, I guess!"

{{...}}

Huh, did I make a mistake?

You don't have to look at me with such exasperated eyes!

"Jeez, even though Mai is a VTuber little sister, she's not just that, right? Mai's your childhood friend from your neighborhood, and above all— Mai was your classmate at school, remember?"

"...Huh!?"

"Finally noticed, huh?"

Right, middle school!

I completely forgot about it. It was a blind spot in my consciousness and my memory.

"Iroha-chan, do you know someone who has contact information? It would be convenient if it's someone who has a favorable impression of you and is willing to help you wholeheartedly."

"Ahaha, someone that convenient... Oh, I know someone!?"

I immediately sent a message.

Since I didn't have their direct contact information, I planned to ask my classmate to pass on the message. But instead, I received an invitation to the LIME group.

While tilting my head, I tapped on [Join].

To my surprise, there were already over 100 members in the group.

[COOOOMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!!]

[Iroha-sama, welcome!]

[I can't believe Iroha-sama herself has graced this group!]

It seems this group existed before and wasn't created just now.

Wait, could it be...

[Could it be that this is the grade-level group I haven't been invited to all this time?]

[No, that's not it! That's a grade-level fan group dedicated to Iroha-sama!]

[↑ Delete the person who said something unnecessary.]

The previous message changed to [Message retracted].

Grade-level fan club. Um, yeah.

Alright! Let's pretend I didn't see that!

But more importantly.

[We've already shared the situation. Now it's time for me to prove that I'm superior to you!]

[Iroha-sama, I'll help too!]

[I'll do my best for Iroha-sama!]

[It's time to repay the favor of Iroha-sama teaching me a foreign language!]

From there, things moved quickly.

A former member of the Four Heavenly Kings took command, and people started editing video subtitles using a swarm tactic.

It seems that with this many people, even for minor languages, there's likely to be at least one person who knows it.

The work was progressing one after another.

...It's amazing.

When I consulted with Mai, my problem get solved.

"Thank you, Mai. I would have never realized it on my own."

"That's right! My Mai is amazing. After all, I trained her! Right?"

"Why is onee-chan answering? It was Mai's turn, right?"

"But honestly, I didn't expect to be helped by Mai."

"Iroha-chan, haven't you forgotten? Back when Onee-chan was still an individual streamer without a manager, who was helping her? It was Mai!"

I remembered that.

Mai had indeed said something like that before.

"Just think about it. Do you think the clumsy onee-chan could have streamed successfully on alone without a manager?"

I looked at Ah-nee and nodded firmly.

"Yeah! It's impossible!"

"I know, right?"

"That's harsh!"

"Onee-chan, it's because you only do things that interest you... or rather, things you want to do. On the contrary, you do whatever you feel like doing."

"Hahaha! Did that happen?"

"Sigh... And this is it. That's why troubles never cease. Mai has struggled so much. Now she's part of an agency and has proper jobs, and she has a manager who scolds her, so those things have decreased."

Mai, what a pitiful girl.

Her problem-solving skills were essential for survival...

"But in this case, it was because of Ha-chan. It's because of the choices you've made until now. We managed to resolve it."

"Huh?"

"All Mai could do was what she was capable of, and she couldn't have done it if you hadn't taken the middle school entrance exam. The current outcome wouldn't have been possible."

Indeed, that seems to be the case.

But I never expected that those choices would lead to this.

"Hey, Mai."

"Hm? What?"

"When you graduate from school, will you become my exclusive manager?"

"Huh? Whaaat!?"

I've always wanted a manager.

If I hear that you have such talent, it makes me want it even more.

Mai will be with me for the rest of my life.

And for that to happen, I will definitely...

"Stop World War I!"

The clock ticks, indicating that the moment has finally arrived.

The presidential election and the voting have begun.
