Chapter 149: Red and White
"Well then, I suppose it's about time I took my leave."
Top Chat: Don’t gooo
Top Chat: Just stay and become part of Elf-san’s family
Top Chat: Start a rivalry with Kyouka-chan for the position!
"Why am I always the little sister!? Like I said before, I’m probably older, you know!?"
"You're going home?"
"I’ve already confirmed the Elf’s condition."
"I didn’t even entertain you."
"You stuffed me full of food, didn’t you!?"
Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: Offering food to someone who drops by doesn’t count as hospitality for Elf-san
Top Chat: Feels like she lives in a hidden village deep in the forest
Top Chat: Is this turning into a wholesome exchange event?
Top Chat: What exactly were you planning to do to entertain her?
"Play games."
"We’re gonna have a match later anyway."
"I even bought a console."
Top Chat: Oh, so you bought one
Top Chat: Bet she bought just the hardware and forgot the games!
"I got games too."
Top Chat: So she didn’t slip up this time
Top Chat: What did you buy?
"A legendary title that sold tens of millions worldwide."
Top Chat: Was there anything like that recently?
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: lol wait
"It was cheap."
"Well of course it was cheap! That game’s ancient!"
Top Chat: True, it’s a classic everyone knows though lol
Top Chat: But wow, I’ve never seen the original release before, only the ported versions for later consoles
"Is it really that old?"
Top Chat: It’s been about forty years since release
Top Chat: Remember the game ‘Sky High’ the loli played yesterday? That was partly inspired by this one
Top Chat: You could call it the ancestor of all modern action games
"How do you hook this up to the TV?"
Top Chat: …Listen to people sometimes?
Top Chat: Elf-san has a habit of not listening to others
"You use these three-colored plugs. Here, you can have mine."
"Thanks."
"On the back of the TV, just plug each one into the port with the matching color."
"Mm."
Top Chat: Oh, this is totally turning into a gaming session
Top Chat: This feels like when you start reading an old manga you found while doing spring cleaning
"No, I’m leaving once I finish setting it up."
"You’re not playing?"
"I said, we’ll have plenty of time to play later. Right now I’m fine."
"Teach me how to play."
"Mm, ah… there’s no manual anymore. Well, I guess that much is fine."
Top Chat: Huh, no manual?
Top Chat: There used to be, but it’s cartridge era—hard to keep them intact
Top Chat: Even at second-hand shops, most are just loose carts
"Ah, wait, Elf. Jump five blocks before the pit."
"Something came out."
"That’s an extra life. There are certain conditions, but just assume you can grab one per area and you’ll be fine."
"Got it."
Top Chat: She’s gone from teaching controls to full-on strategy guide mode
Top Chat: Welp, the loli’s definitely becoming Elf-san’s adopted child now
Top Chat: But wouldn’t you want to see a loli spoiled by Elf-san?
Top Chat: I do
Top Chat: Same
Top Chat: Show us
Top Chat: Hurry
"Again, why am I always the little sister here!?"
"I stomped on it but still took damage."
"And you, Elf, don’t just calmly keep playing!"
"A bug?"
"That’s just the way that enemy works!"
Top Chat: And there goes Elf-san doubting the game’s mechanics again lol
Top Chat: Edgy ones are usually dangerous—like me!
Top Chat: So let’s not stomp, let’s just burn them instead
Top Chat: Ow ow ow
Top Chat: Watching the loli do tsukkomi is great, but are you okay on time?
"Time’s not really an issue. I’ll be playing at the office anyway."
Top Chat: Oh, that’s unexpected
Top Chat: Not going back home?
"I only came here for the festival. I’ve been staying at the office."
Top Chat: Ohhh, that’s why yesterday’s stream was from the office
Top Chat: Makes sense
Top Chat: Then why were you in such a rush to leave Elf-san’s house?
"Because at ten o’clock, there’s coffee jelly, pudding, jelly, and bavarois."
"My breakfast hasn’t even finished digesting yet!"
Top Chat: Ah, I see now
Top Chat: If you’re gonna challenge the hidden forest village, you’ll need this secret medicine (stomach pills)
Top Chat: Turns out it was a boss battle all along
