Chapter 88: Can’t Hold Back the Excitement
"Recording."
Top Chat: Good morni—wait, what?
Top Chat: Keep it down a little.
Top Chat: Recording?
Top Chat: Recording what?
Top Chat: Pretty dark in here.
Top Chat: Uh, are we being put away somewhere?
Top Chat: Well, not “we,” more like the camera.
"Recording."
Right now, I’ve shoved the camera—still pointing into the room—into the closet. After this, I’m going to close the sliding doors, leaving just the lens exposed, so it’ll be harder to notice.
Top Chat: Huh!?
Top Chat: What’s going on?
Top Chat: Are we becoming part of Elf-san’s winter storage?
Top Chat: Elf was a bear all along…?
Top Chat: Explain! Give us an explanation!
"Kyoka’s coming to wake me up, so I want to record it."
Top Chat: Record her waking you up?
Top Chat: Ah, so Elf-san’s using the archive as a recording again lol
Top Chat: So this is the bedroom.
Top Chat: That explains the darkness—the curtains are shut.
"Is it dark?"
Top Chat: Pretty dark.
Top Chat: Don’t know about Elf-san’s eyes, but through the camera it’s really dark.
Top Chat: Right now we can just barely make out Elf-san.
"That won’t do if you can’t see. I’ll open it a little."
Top Chat: Open the curtain!
Top Chat: Let there be light!
Top Chat: Ah! Elf-san’s wearing the baggy shirt!
Top Chat: Pay your respects, pay your respects!
Top Chat: We are blessed, we are blessed.
Top Chat: So, the baggy shirt… you’ve become a proper set of pajamas now, huh…
Top Chat: Proper, really?
Top Chat: Isn’t Elf-san’s chest the proper one here?
Top Chat: Proper indeed.
"Now I just need to pretend to be asleep, and Kyoka will jump on me."
Top Chat: Sounds fun.
Top Chat: Look at that excited smile.
Top Chat: Those twitching ears, damn it! Thank you so much!
Top Chat: This was in the lyrics of “Let’s Walk Toward Tomorrow,” wasn’t it?
Top Chat: Ah, so she really did jump on you to wake you up back then.
Top Chat: Yeah, I’d want that recorded too lol
Top Chat: But that was when Kyoka-chan was little… would she really do it now?
"Mm, she’s coming. Time to sleep."
Top Chat: I don’t hear anything.
Top Chat: But if Elf-san says she’s coming, then she must be.
"Onii-chaan… it’s morning…"
As soon as I hid the camera and slipped under the covers, Kyoka came into the room.
Top Chat: She’s whispering.
Top Chat: She’s hiding her footsteps.
Top Chat: Wait, wait, could it be… could it really be?
"Onii-chaan… if you don’t wake up, I’ll have to wake you myself… fufu."
Top Chat: She laughed!
Top Chat: She’s serious!
Top Chat: This is getting good!
Top Chat: Even sailors cheer for a cute siren!
"Oni—"
Top Chat: Demon.
Top Chat: She stopped.
Top Chat: She’s frozen.
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan?
Top Chat: What happened?
"…Onii-chan, your ears are moving."
"Mm."
Top Chat: Hiding your head but not those elf ears.
