Chapter 104: Elf-san Unleashed

"Won."

Top Chat: Yes
Top Chat: Yes
Top Chat: Yes
Top Chat: I can only say yes

"These guys are pretty expressive, huh."

On my laptop screen, the lime-green player character dances with joy on the podium. Kyōka’s character and the ones in second through fifth place pound the ground and stomp their feet, showing their frustration with their whole bodies.

Top Chat: Yeah, it’s funny and all, but…
Top Chat: The way that match went down, you guys really don’t have the right to be that frustrated.
Top Chat: Seriously.
Top Chat: Just look at Siren.
Top Chat: She’s been face-down since the match ended and hasn’t moved an inch.

"Kyo… Siren."
"…Yeah."

Top Chat: Doesn’t move even when called, lol
Top Chat: She’s done for
Top Chat: She’s a sailor, but that’s actually kind of hilarious

"This isn’t funny!"

"Great finals, though."

"Not even close!"

Top Chat: Elf-san may say so, but—
Top Chat: Let’s review what actually happened in the finals.
Top Chat: Siren and the others dodged doodle traps and ran toward the oil painting goal.
Top Chat: Meanwhile, Elf-san wandered off the path to grab a stray barrel.
Top Chat: And then… the massacre began.
Top Chat: Elf-san hurled barrels from ridiculous range, knocking people off while the barrels stayed behind on the track.
Top Chat: One by one, starting from the back, they all fell prey to Elf-san.
Top Chat: One goes down… then another…
Top Chat: Until only Siren was left, shrieking adorably before falling too.
Top Chat: “I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die! Ahh! Big brother, wait, I can’t, no way! Aaaaaahhh!” Want the audio clip?
Top Chat: Yes
Top Chat: Knew you’d cut that part out, lol
Top Chat: Well then, yes, that was a fine final match!

"That was terrifying, okay!?"

Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: Honestly, yeah, it was basically a horror game
Top Chat: The scary part being Elf-san herself

"Alright, round two, let’s go!"

"Hold it, Elf. Drink this and calm down a bit."

"Kirishi-tan."

"The lambs and Elf’s viewers need a break too, don’t you think?"

"Fair enough."

I down the cup she handed me. Barley tea.

Top Chat: Thank God for break time
Top Chat: I was about to leak
Top Chat: Make peace with leaking ahead of time—you won’t panic then
Top Chat: Sounds like some warrior’s resolve
Top Chat: I’d love to just sit and watch Siren rest, but I really gotta pee

"Alright, let’s do this!"

"Too fast. Here, have a donut first."

"Nom."

Top Chat: Kirishi-tan’s in mom mode lol
Top Chat: Brings back memories of scarfing down food just to keep gaming
Top Chat: Elementary school flashbacks
Top Chat: Elf-san’s so cute when she’s quiet while eating
Top Chat: Tasty?

"Good."

"Then I’ll pack a few for you. What flavor do you want?"

"Mm. Chocolate."

Top Chat: Eating donuts with one hand while holding barley tea in the other, I love it
Top Chat: Excuse me, how much for this creature?
Top Chat: Get lost! Our Elf isn’t for sale!
Top Chat: I just wanna stare at Elf-san stuffing her face with donuts
Top Chat: I could honestly watch all day
Top Chat: Her stomach would explode, lol

"Kyo… Siren, you eating too?"

"Yeah, it’s delicious. Thank you, Kirishi-tan-san."

"Good."

"Don’t hold back—eat as much as you like."

Top Chat: Siren eating nothing
Top Chat: Well, it’s just an avatar lol
Top Chat: But really, Elf-san never fixes that weird way she calls her
Top Chat: It’s become a total habit
Top Chat: She did it all last stream too. Maybe just let her use the actual name?

"There’s no ‘person inside’ the avatar, you know."

"Ohh, so that’s why."

"Mm."

Top Chat: Elf actually follows instructions—what a guardian of the forest
Top Chat: Still, she stumbles every time. Maybe it’s fine to let her slide?
Top Chat: The judgment falls to Kirishi-tan

"Well, I wouldn’t dare complain about a senpai’s way of doing things."

"Senpai?"

"Oh, right. I actually started before Kirishi-tan did."

Top Chat: Huh
Top Chat: For real?
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan’s only been around about half a year
Top Chat: Kyōka’s got a strong junior vibe, but she’s been at it over a year—so technically senpai
Top Chat: A senpai VTuber (who just started actually talking two days ago)
Top Chat: What even is a VTuber

"Heh."

"Hey, Elf, don’t wipe your fingers on your clothes."

"Mm."

"Seriously. Here, take a cloth—oh wait, I forgot to wet it."

"I’ll wash my hands and wet it while I’m at it."

"Thanks."

Top Chat: She was glancing around, turns out that’s what she was thinking lol
Top Chat: What even goes through this Elf’s head
Top Chat: “You can just wash the clothes later, right?”
Top Chat: Ohhh, she would definitely say that lol

"…Um, Kirishi-tan-san, may I have a word?"

"What is it, Siren?"

"Would you like to form an anti-Elf alliance?"
