Chapter 141: [First Children]
"My family home is the White House or something like that."
It was an incredibly powerful statement.
Even I, who usually remains composed, felt unsettled by this.
"Oh, right! I forgot! Your mama became the president. Is that why you moved?"
"Yeah, moving was a huge hassle, you know!? And besides, it's clear how little Iroha is interested in my life."
Well, it's not exactly like that, though.
Rather, precisely because we're close, I just…
"Somewhat unexpectedly, it's as if Ogu-san has become distant."
"Hey~ hey~, Ogu! Can I come to visit next time!?"
"No way, right!?"
Ogu firmly rejects Ah-nee's request.
Otherwise, she might come over.
"Aw~! Really~? Then, tell me, what's life like in the White House!?"
"It's incredibly tiring. There are so many rules, or rather, traditions. Like, for example, ‘Don't open the windows or ‘Don't drive a car.'"
"Haha! But you only look at your computer anyway, right? And you don't even have a driver's license!"
"Anego, you're so annoying!"
Ah-nee is annoying,.
But honestly, that's pretty accurate.
I thought it would be tough.
But it seems like there's no damage done.
"Well, there are other things too! Like, you're not supposed to use social media!"
"But you do!"
Well, VTubers would have a hard time without Twitter, right?
After all, Ah-nee operates an account with millions of followers.
"That's because it's the account of Ah-nee. So, during my activities as a VTuber, I've been told that I can't hint or claim to be part of the First Family."
"I see! First-something Family, huh!"
Social media carries a high risk.
If important information leaks from there or if it leads to a scandal.
While streaming, I realized that accidents are bound to happen, and anyone can slip up.
In such cases, having the alibi of being a different person is probably important.
"It's like an open secret, in a way."
After that incident, Ah-nee became even more famous than before.
Originally, the information that she was the same person online was already circulating.
"Well, on the flip side, because of that… and also, surprisingly, there are certain traditional events I don't have to attend."
"Definitely. Mai hasn't seen Ogu-san participate in those types of events much."
My aunt, who took on the role of First Lady, handles those in place of me. Still, as the First Child, or the First Family, it's my responsibility to appear when needed.
"First-something, right? I get it, I get it."
"Anego, you don't have to push yourself, okay? Also, you know, it means the president's child."
"O-of course I knew that!? We're talking about a robot!"
"You sure didn't sound like you knew!?"
Sorry, Ogu, but I thought the same thing.
However, her family situation is quite complicated.
"Ah, speaking of which, the most troublesome… or rather, the thing I'm not used to, is that Secret Service escorts accompany me wherever I go. I'm used to being taken care of by servants at home, but having protection is appreciated, though it's unsettling."
"Wow, I want to see! I want to see!"
"There you go, playing around."
Saying that Angu Ogu pointed outside the window.
I looked out.
I saw a black car parked in front of the house.
I made eye contact with the woman in a suit sitting in the driver's seat.
She nodded, and I returned the gesture with a "Hello.".
"Squeee! So amazing!"
"…Ugh."
Ah-nee's excitement rose, but I was just holding my head.
I've experienced various things since being reincarnated, but let me say this on top of all that.
"Your existence is more fantastical than anything!"
"???"
Angu Ogu tilted her head.
Then, she suddenly looked a bit angry.
"Don't misunderstand me! I've lived on my own. I can manage without servants!"
"No, you're missing the point of the argument!"
"Even Secret Service isn't something I couldn't refuse, you know? And besides, remember the time you almost got kidnapped? I wouldn't want Iroha to get involved in something like that."
"Ogu… No, I appreciate that, but that's a different issue."
"Iroha, you're so cold-blooded! Robot! VTuber geek!"
"Being a VTuber geek isn't an insult, you know!? But, ugh!"
I struggled and suffered.
Honestly, my brain felt like it was glitching.
"A zombie in ragged clothes… that's how I imagine Angu Ogu! The contrast between the character and reality is destroying my brain!"
Well, I should have understood.
Angu Ogu is, after all, a genuine princess.
Still, it's a bit unsettling to change the way I see her.
That's precisely the reason why I don't want to know too much about my oshi VTubers' real-life appearances.
"Tsk tsk tsk! You're so naive, Iroha-chan!"
Interrupting me was Ah-nee.
She wagged her finger and had a mischievous smile on her face —.
