Chapter 41: After the Ending
Ahem.
Kirishi-tan cleared her throat.
"That final boss was ridiculously strong!"
Top Chat: Ah, totally!
Top Chat: Super strong!
Top Chat: Don’t even remember half of it, but yeah, strong!
"But it just ended with a cutscene, didn’t it?"
"Shut up!"
Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: Read the room, Elf-san
Top Chat: Hey, it was an unprecedented, emotional staff roll—be grateful!
Top Chat: I cried…
Top Chat: Still, a lot of mysteries were left hanging
"Yeah. From what we saw in the cutscene, there must be some foreshadowing we didn’t uncover."
"You think so?"
Top Chat: We did find that creepy book in the kid’s room, but the kid themself never showed up
Top Chat: Not like it’s easy to clear this game properly—it’s brutal
Top Chat: Probably tied to hidden story bits and player upgrade items
"Well, let’s leave that to other players to figure out. As for us, I think it’s time to wrap things up."
"Already ending?"
"Yeah, it feels about right, don’t you think?"
Top Chat: Whoa, it’s totally dark outside already
Top Chat: Ahhh crap, I left the bath running!
Top Chat: Probably boiling over by now lol
"What about an all-night gaming marathon?"
"You want to?"
"Isn’t this where we crash from exhaustion and get doodled on?"
"You want that to happen to you?"
Top Chat: Elf-san lol
Top Chat: She sounds so dejected
Top Chat: Droopy ears are cute though…
"…W-Well, if you really want to stay over, Elf, I guess I could let you use my bed for the night, just this once."
"Alright, then I’ll go home."
"Why!?"
Top Chat: Don’t pull the rug just when she’s being sweet lol
Top Chat: Spit my drink out
"Think about it. A girl having a guy stay over when they’re not even dating? That’s no good, right?"
"A girl."
Top Chat: A girl
Top Chat: A girl
Top Chat: …a girl?
Top Chat: Brain froze for a second. Oh right, that’s her backstory.
Top Chat: Hey, Elf-san! Grab that cute skirt, give us a big smile, and say ‘I love you, big brother!’
Top Chat: Someone please call her out already lol
"Anyway, I’m heading back. See ya."
"Ah, wait—"
――The stream has ended――
Top Chat: Dammit, I let my guard down ‘cause Kirishi-tan was here!
Top Chat: That exit timing tho!
Top Chat: Eeeeelfffff!!
Top Chat: Aww, it’s really over, huh
Top Chat: Guess I’ll eat, drink, bathe, then sleep
Top Chat: That order sounds dangerous lol
Top Chat: …Wait, hold on, guys!
Top Chat: Hm? What is it?
Top Chat: Elf-san’s stream ended, but Kirishi-tan’s stream is still going!
Top Chat: clatter!
Top Chat: CLATTER CLATTER!!
"Elf, seriously… ending the stream like that? Really?"
"But the viewers love it, don’t they?"
"Eh, really?"
Top Chat: Migrated over here!
Top Chat: I migrated too—hey, Elffff!
Top Chat: Already slandering Elf-san right at the start lol
"Elf, what about a taxi?"
"Don’t need one. I’ll run."
"Oh, come on… Don’t go running in the rain wearing geta. You’ll trip for sure."
Top Chat: Oh right, she was wearing geta lol
Top Chat: On Kirishi-tan’s stream we can’t even see her avatar, just the game title screen
Top Chat: Well, at least we can hear her voice—good enough
"Here, take my umbrella."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Just bring it back on a sunny day… and maybe keep me company for a little chat while you’re at it."
Top Chat: She’s being sweet!
Top Chat: That’s definitely sweet!
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan actually inviting a friend over to her house!
Top Chat: Thank god… Kirishi-tan isn’t a loner after all…
"You were a loner?"
"Eh?"
Top Chat: …
Top Chat: …
Top Chat: Wait, hold up… don’t tell me…
Top Chat: Heyyyy Elf-san, can you see this?
"I can see it."
"See what—ah! The stream!"
Top Chat: Oh nooo, she noticed!!
Top Chat: Don’t end it, don’t end it!
Top Chat: Please don’t end it!
"Alright, alright. That’s it, both my little lambs and Elf’s viewers—the stream’s over! Thanks for watching!"
――The stream has ended――
Top Chat: Aaand it’s over
Top Chat: Yeah, really over this time
Top Chat: Man, I laughed so much
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan’s a fun one too
Top Chat: The flock of little lambs is always happy to welcome new lambs!
Top Chat: Guess I’m joining lol
Top Chat: Looking forward to working with you, senpai!
