Volume 1 Chapter 74 Yuki's Takeru, Part nii Watcher (Out of Bounds)
Even though it was early October, a beautiful girl was blasting the air conditioner in her room amidst the lingering summer heat.
...Her name is 'YukiYumi'.
Takeru's twin sister.
Self-proclaimed 'Takeru-nii Watcher'.
This Takeru-nii Watcher had looped the second broadcast of the 'Omega-channel', which had briefly gone offline but was quickly re-released, countless times.
In fact, she had also looped the first broadcast many times before.
Currently, the chat function had been restored, but during the first broadcast, Takeru had turned off the chat feature, so she could only watch the 'video'.
However, for her, that was a trivial matter, as she had watched Omega's videos so many times that she declared, "The chat function is merely a digital construct. My brain's conversion chat voice compensates easily!"
Not quite understanding what she was saying, this was quintessentially Yumi.
Now, Yumi, having heard the word "magic" from Omega after instantly freezing a mysterious giant Flame Ball that emerged from 'Talking MonsterBaron' on the 49th floor, couldn't help but murmur.
"Ah, *that*... was probably 'magic' after all..."
What Yumi referred to as 'that' was the 'Storage (Supreme) that cleaned his room in one go' that Takeru had performed the night he returned from another world, captured by the 5 installed Web cameras.
"Well, at first, a 'black swirling hole' appeared, and things were disappearing as if being sucked in, so I thought it was some kind of 'poltergeist phenomenon' and was shaking in fear... but now that I think about it, Takeru-nii was using 'magic' to clean the room... right?"
Yes, Yumi had set up 5 web cameras in Takeru's room just before summer vacation.
The reason was, 'Watching my beloved Takeru-nii is a sister's hobby! (grin)' or so she said.
I didn't quite understand that, and it sounded more like 'a line that reeks of trouble,' but for Yumi, watching (that) seemed to be a sisterly pastime.
...Yikes.
"But, even if... whether that is magic or not aside, the 'Omega' shown in front of me is undoubtedly Takeru-nii..."
Yumi had known that Takeru was 'Omega' because she had watched him practice his costume and poses the day before today's second stream...
She had known, but... however, the fact that Omega, who had clearly displayed 'otherworldly strength' by using 'magic' and overwhelming the 'Talking Monster,' which is said to exist beyond the 70th Floor, was her own family, and moreover, her beloved Takeru-nii, just didn't connect in her mind... and she remained half in doubt.
"But, the scene I saw in the room (the cleaning with magic and the dark history of practicing poses in the Omega costume) is an undeniable fact. In reality, since that footage exists, it is absolutely certain that Omega is Takeru-nii. But..."
Yumi had been thinking about that over and over while watching today's stream.
At that time, she saw on the news and social media that 'the guild master is holding a press conference at Shinjuku Gyoen Guild,' and
"At this press conference, it will be clarified whether Omega's power is magic. And that is synonymous with Takeru-nii being able to use magic..."
Thinking that, Yumi checked the time for the press conference, which would be streamed online as well.
"Remaining... one hour"
Yumi set her smartphone to ring 5 minutes before the press conference.
"What if... what if it's true that Takeru-nii can use magic? How did he get it? I mean, it's an undeniable fact that Omega is Takeru-nii... so how did Takeru-nii acquire such an out-of-the-ordinary power?"
......I want to know.
Yumi, who is already exceptionally curious.
For her, whether Takeru can use magic or not isn't that important; rather, she was strongly interested in Takeru's extraordinary strength.
As Yumi's curiosity escalated, her rational thinking began to diminish, ultimately leading to,
"Maybe I should just tell Takeru-nii that 'I know Takeru-nii is Omega'! After all, Takeru-nii loves us 'imoutos' dearly! I'm sure Takeru-nii would be happy to talk to me directly!!"
she arrived at this conclusion.
At this point, everyone (or maybe just everyone?) thought, "This is bad, we need to do something..." and then,
"N-no, wait... me?! That's bad! Because... because if I tell Takeru-nii this, then he'll ask, 'By the way, how did Yumi know about my room?'! And then... and then... "
Yes, revealing to Takeru that she confided in him means simultaneously confessing, "She installed 5 web cameras in Takeru's room and watched him. All for love..." which is nothing less than an act of love (surveillance).
Thus, Yumi narrowly realized her runaway thoughts sparked by excessive curiosity and returned to her senses.
However, even if she regained her composure, the fact remains that confessing to Takeru equates to a 'confession of being Takeru-nii's watcher (a special kink)', which requires a 'desperate resolve'.
"Aaaaaah... the 'Prisoner's Dilemma'!!!!"
Yumi's anguish continued.
......Less than an hour remained until the 'press conference'.
