Sandwich anyone?

"Munch munch…" With the sound of food being chewed coming from the mouth of the girl in front of Anemachi, Sakura Miko remained relatively quiet after the breakdown she had earlier. Currently eating a simple sandwich that Anemachi made from the leftover ingredient Miko has in her fridge, she looks like a hamster taking in small chunks of food one at a time. Anemachi has a feeling as if she is taking care of a small cute pet.

Also after things calmed down, she realized something.

Miko's words could sound...blurry at times.

'Like a baby learning to speak…' Thinking of some rather impolite things, Anemachi who is sitting on the chair beside Miko's mind begins replaying the scene where she tries to stop the bleeding on Miko's wrist.

Digging up Miko's house searching for medical supplies, she clumsily disinfects and bandages up Miko's wound while resisting the urge to vomit from the sight of blood. The bleeding did manage to stop eventually which avoided the trouble of sending Miko to the hospital.

"I suggest you to visit the doctor after this, I don't trust my skill in patching up your wound so best if you get another check up." Adjusting her posture a bit, Anemachi continues. "You could get an infection if it ain't properly treated."

Looking towards Miko who replies with a simple nod, Anemachi still isn't too comfortable with the thought of leaving Miko alone.

"Miko-san, you are living by yourself right? Mind if I call your parents for them to come over here?" It will be best if Miko's parents can take care of her, this will reduce the workload of Anemachi herself by a lot.

The question however is responded to with rapid head shaking from the pink hair girl, implying that she doesn't want her parents to know about this. Miko's eyes fill with tears, Anemachi can't bring herself to do it.

"I see...Alright then, I understand." Showing some understanding, Anemachi gives off a small sigh for the upcoming trouble she had to duel with. "Do you have any good friends? Maybe A-chan or other people who you can trust."

"Yeah, could you call-"

"--!" Instinctively wanted to speak of a name, Miko with widen eyes immediately covers her mouth with her still movable hand, eyes proceed to display a clear sadness that is still within her. "..."

"N-nevermind...I don't have anyone close to me, now."

"Well, this will be troublesome...At least let me contact A-chan, I still need to explain to her why I didn't come over for my second day at work." With that Anemachi proceeds to bring up her phone to text A-chan regarding staying together with Miko for a while, ignoring the strangeness show by Miko.

Sending off a short message to A-chan briefly explaining the detail, it was immediately indicated to be read just when Anemachi wanted to close the phone off which is followed by a reply from A-chan.

(Alright don't worry, let me know if you need help in anything, manager-san!)

'Manager-san huh…' Closing off the phone, Anemachi eyes turn towards Miko again who is still eating her sandwich, taking her time to finish it off slowly.

'I should try to find out what had happened to her, but not now.' Thinking to herself, Anemachi proceeds to open up a light topic for both of them to engage in.

"So Miko-san, how did you end up as a Vtuber?" Speaking in a light tone, Anemachi asks a question that she is quite curious about. "This is quite an interesting career path to take, no one that many is willing to try out."

"Many will much prefer to straight out become a streamer or an idol if they want to pursue becoming an entertainer."

'Unlike a certain someone…' Mind flashing image of a familiar blue hair girl, Anemachi wondered where she got her stubbornness from. She doesn't recall mom and dad having this kind of character.

Hearing the question, Miko put down her sandwich that is half eaten, instantly having recall of how she ended up here. With food stain still left on her pink lips, the girl speaks.

"Well I was working part time and trying to find a job after graduating, and through some friends know that some company wanted to start up their Virtual idol brand." Remembering the days when she just graduated brings some nostalgia back, it's the time when Miko met him too. "Not knowing what to do, I attended the audition with her. And won't you know, I ended up passing it somehow."

"I see. Also, you aren't originally from Hololive right? I see your profile before. You were from another company that was originally running a traditional idol group." Speaking, Anemachi wants to know the reason. "So why did you transfer here?"

"Yup, I was under another company before this."

'As of why did I transfer huh…' With the past failure slightly hurting her heart, Miko gives a small sigh. "Well to be brief, I did not live up to their expectation and they scrap their idea entirely."

"If it wasn't for our president contacting them in advance stating that he wants to hire me, I would have gone back working at part time already."

'Ah, I step on some landmine.' With the girl in front of her again getting more visibly down, Anemachi tries to cheer her up. "I don't think it's your fault, although I haven't checked your streaming yet I can see that you are quite an interesting person. It could be how your old company marketed you which result in it."

"...I guess so." And with that sentence, Miko went back to eating her sandwich. Surprisingly delicious actually, the egg and ham sandwich.

"That last person that told me this had already left me.'"

And just when Anemachi wanted to continue comforting Miko,

"...!" Suddenly, a certain song begins to be played from Anemachi's pocket, her phone to be precise. Upon looking at the screen, it's Suisei calling over.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU NOW!?" As the phone humbly transmits the received sounds, a familiar voice echo through the small room. "THE HECK ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE FOR A WHOLE NIGHT?"

"Do you know how worry I'm!? I thought you had reach home by this time already, yet the house is still empty by the time I had come over there! I swear that if you-" With the rumbling continuing, Suisei vented out her anger and frustration towards the irresponsible onechan

Putting her phone away for a while to prevent her from turning deaf, Anemachi turns her eyes to the confused Miko and replies with an awkward laugh while waiting for Suisei to calm down.

"Don't worry, just my sister worrying about me." Explaining the circumstances, the shouting went on for a few more seconds before it finally ended.

"Calm down already?" Finally replying to the phone, Anemachi gives off a sigh. "I'm fine alright, don't worry too much."

"Just staying overnight with someone for some reason, nothing much."

"..." Followed by a brief silence, and for some reason heavy breathing? Suisei asks. "...You slept with someone else yesterday?"

"Hmm, yes?" Thinking for a while, Anemachi replied. 'I slept on the chair beside Miko for the whole night, that counts as sleeping with her right?'

"How long? How long have you known him?" With Suisei asking again, Anemachi hasn't realized that something is wrong.

"Just a single day, what's wrong? Oh, and it's a girl by the way." Correcting Suisei, Anemachi continues. "Just meet her yesterday after work."

"...!" Follow again with silence, Anemachi can hear something along the line of 'one night stand...with a girl too…'.

"Oih! It's not a one night stand!" Finally realizing what Suisei is thinking, Anemachi visibly panicked and tried to explain. "Wait a second I can expla-"

"That's what they always say." And with a cold voice, Suisei figure she has heard enough. "Don't worry, I understand the situation now. I will be waiting you-"

"A t h o m e."

"Di!" With the phone call ending abruptly, a chill goes down Anemachi's spine, a sense of her life being threatened by some evil being.

"I-I think I need to go home now." Gulping, Anemachi needs to get home before it's too late, before her kitchen knife been sharpened. "Miko-san can take care of yourself right? Never mind I will call A-chan for her to send someone over here."

"Don't do anything silly alright? I will be back once it's over"

And with that, Anemachi rushes back with hurry steps, running for her life and possibly torture.

Witnessing Anemachi running back however, Miko can't help but laugh at the two sister's interaction, silly yet heartwarming.

'Must be nice having someone worrying about you.'
