32 Ch 30 - Blood and Blood

"Getting all the bread, so I gotta spread the jam."

"I'm about to dunk when I ball. I finna slam."

"These fuckers want some beef? I'mma serve 'em with some ham."

"I'm like Steve Jobs, 'cause every single move was really planned."

"I ain't a fucking rapper, bruh. I mix the styles, and blend."

"Say you got the raps with flavor, but you're rather really bland."

"I'll crush all you rappers 'till you're nothing but some sand."

"I'm getting all the money. Stack em up, and I get bands.

"You ain't cool in my book. Remember, I'm the author."

"I'll go insane. I'mma reign this kingdom like King Arthur."

"You think you hella hard? Bitch, I'll make a fucking felony."

"I'll cause a crime. Keep in mind my words. Hope you remember me."

"I'mma rap unhinged, and you know I will get far."

"I'mma pull some strings, ain't talking 'bout no guitar."

"You know I ain't lying when I say I be ballin'."

"To all of my Privates, hop in and keep watching. WAH!" I said as I stopped the music with the sounds of smoke and an airhorn playing after it stopped.

The chat also went S P E E D.

"WOOHH!!! THOSE WERE SOME SICK RHYMES!"

"I knew it! He was gonna rhyme a lot for this freestyle practice!"

"CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THIS MF SPIT!"

"Shiro on the mic, Shiro on the beat!

"WHOO! Privates! Thank you so much for coming by!" I said.

"Shiro on the mic, Shiro on the beat, Shiro with the heat, everybody, thanks for coming to my stream! Yeah, and you know I got the heat, bro. What's my name? Ishijin Shiro!" I clapped.

"Everybody, thank you for coming once again to my stream! Today, we're gonna be doing rhyming exercises in English."

"Now, before we start, I will say this first. Remember, it's 'rhyming exercises', not 'rhyming exhibition'. The purpose of this is to train your brain in utilizing all your rhymes. The aim for this exercise is to train your brain to use your whole repertoire of rhymes that are stocked in your head."

"So, although I do use this sometimes in real freestyles, I can just do whatever the hell I want with some rhymes, 'cause it's not following a pattern of some sort most of the time. I do this to practice my mind in thinking of what rhymes to use for what words."

"So! With that done, let's get straight into what rhyme schemes we shall be practicing to improve our freestyle rap rhyming ability!"

I typed on the notepad, and it showed the following schemes:

A-A-A-A

A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

A-A-A-A (2 lines)

A-B-B-A (2 lines)

A-B-A-B (2 lines)

A-A-B-C-C-B (2 lines)

"So, these are all the rhyming exercises I made that I need to follow in order to utilize my vocabulary in terms of rhyming. From the simplest to the hardest technique."

"And yes, I know some of you can barely rap for 2 lines. But I'm pretty sure I emphasized very clearly how you should practice, so don't be discouraged, Privates! You'll get there one day. I know it! Just try your best, 'cause everybody learns at their own pace. Remember, I'm not an overnight sensation. I'm a guy that used to be a very untalented kid that wanted to rap, and now look, those years of blood, sweat, and tears are finally paying off!"

"So...I'll explain briefly what these are, and some example lines to show how it's applied."

"So first is the 'A-A-A-A' rhyme scheme. So, I did this at the start of the stream. Basically, we take one word…let's say the word is 'Foam'. You then make lines like…"

"Yo. I'mma keep it real in the zone."

"Put my feet up as I make myself at home."

"Better watch your voice if you're talking in that tone."

"I'm feeling rather bubbly like my smile is foam."

"Right? Remember that, when we have a word in mind, we gotta put that at the end to make it a good punchline."

"That's how you do the A-A-A-A scheme. Next is the A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A scheme."

"It's like the last one, but 4 more bars, making it 8 bars in total. I'll just copy-paste it, and then I'll add more to it. So it goes like…"

"Got all of this money, but it don't come from a loan."

"I don't own a bakery, but I got all this dough."

"I put all of my heart when I'm making this song."

"The king of the rap game, sitting on my throne."

"Yo. I'mma keep it real in the zone."

"Put my feet up as I make myself at home."

"Better watch your voice if you're talking in that tone."

"I'm feeling rather bubbly like my smile is foam."

"So! That's the whole 8 bars A scheme."

"Next is the A-A-A-A scheme where you only do two lines. This one is a bit harder, because not only do you have to do 4 rhymes and do it quickly, you also need to make the rhymes fit in time. This is also helpful in getting rhymes out of your head to really make it easier to rhyme as you freestyle, since once that's done, you can just instantly think of a hundred rhymes off the top of your head."

"So, in applying it, it's like…"

"Causing a reaction when rapping with some action."

"Make lots of things happen. I'm feeling like a champion."

"Right? So, you gotta do this, and you need to think quick. That's all there is to it."

"So...with this A-B-B-A scheme. It's definitely harder, but if you can get comfortable with this, rhyming gets easier from this point on. Trust me."

"So...here's how it works in application."

"Yo, kinda like a rock, I'm going harder."

"I hit quick. I'm so electric like a charger."

"Right? 'A' is 'harder' and 'charger'. 'B' is 'Hit quick' and 'electric'. Note that the B is related to A. Electricity correlates to a charger. You cannot have the B as a separate word."

"The reason for this is 1: It's just hard to think of two words at once, and 2: The rhyming scheme can get rather wonky and even amateurish. Want me to prove my point? I'll open a random word generator, and choose another word for the B scheme.....so I got the word 'lemon'."

"So, if A is charger, and B is lemon. The line could go like…"

"Yo, kinda like a rock, I'm going harder."

"I'm a felon. Yes, I have a lemon and a charger."

"See what I mean? Not only does it sound hella stupid and unprofessional, it doesn't even make sense. That's why you gotta do something similar to the 'Setup, Punchline' and take content from the word that will stand for the B scheme, otherwise the 2 lines will suck ass."

"So, remember, when doing the A-B-B-A scheme, whatever word will serve for the A scheme? Make sure that the B scheme is related to it. So if you picked 'cube' for scheme A, do 'shape' for scheme B, like…"

"Yeah, all these rappers are squares, they're just noobs."

"They ain't great. Yeah, you know I take shape like a cube."

"Alright? Now…moving on to A-B-A-B."

"As simple as this is, this is actually harder, I won't lie. If this was 4 lines, it's okay, but since it's 2 lines, it's really really really testing our brain's ability to rhyme."

"So...lemme actually type the lines okay? I won't rap it yet. I'll just type it."

The lines are:

"Rappers won't get far. These rappers hella useless."

"When I'm spitting bars, I'm making lots of music."

"So...in this, the ending word is now the B scheme, and the first words are the A scheme. Before, we used to take the word we want as the A scheme, but because it's A-B-A-B, we now use that word on the B scheme."

"So...the B scheme is 'useless' and 'music', since the word I want to put is 'music', and the A scheme is 'far' and 'bars', since 'bars' correlate to 'music'."

"The reason why this is harder than A-B-B-A is because, if this was actually applied to a real freestyle, you not only have less time to think and have mental rest, but you also gotta actively rhyme without stopping."

"Unlike the A-B-B-A, there's at least some mental rest, like back in the example of that scheme, there's like a few milliseconds of space for you to think like 'Okay, what word should I go with? Maybe I'll correlate 'electricity' with 'charger'.', and then after that, you can just piece everything together. THIS, however, NEEDS YOU TO THINK EITHER PRIOR TO THE WORD, OR INSTANTLY AFTER THE WORD IS PICKED."

"Because your mental rest is significantly reduced, if you had 0.4 seconds to think in the A-B-B-A scheme, you now just have 0.1 seconds to think in the A-B-A-B scheme." I laughed.

"And might I also add that you need to line up the two lines? Yeah, this is way harder."

"However, if you manage to do this, you can pretty much just actually skip the next scheme, which is really hard but if you can do the next scheme, you're like a god in rhyming, I'll be honest."

"So, going back to the example that I gave, there's a pattern to it as to how you actually execute it in a freestyle."

"And matter of fact, I also need to teach you guys how to apply the A-B-B-A scheme along with the the A-B-A-B when you actually freestyle."

"So, first, you think of the word you want to end with. Let's say you want to end with the word 'Speaker'."

"So, after that, think of a word that correlates with 'speaker'...let's say 'sounds'."

"So, in the A-B-B-A scheme, you simply just attach the B to the A scheme, and it'll come together."

"So like...you would say 'I'm busting with the sounds through your speaker' as the ending line, and then after that, just think of rhymes for the whole line, so it would go…"

"Yeah, I'm becoming harder and sleeker."

"I'm going loud. Busting with the sounds through your speaker."

"Easy, right? Now, the A-B-A-B will require a bit more brain power."

"So...let me make two lines and teach you the thought process…"

The lines are:

"Yeah, they cannot fuck with us. They should've heard of me."

"My name is ubiquitous, they bust this shit in Germany."

"So...first, you think of the word for the B scheme, then you think of the two words for the A scheme, then finish off with the last word for the B scheme."

"To not make it confusing, you first think of the word 'Germany', then you think of the word 'ubiquitous', then think of the rhyme for it, which is 'fuck with us', then finally, think of the rhyme for the word 'Germany' which is 'heard of me'."

"So to summarize it, you think of 'Germany', then 'ubiquitous', then 'fuck with us', and finally, 'heard of me.' In this whole thing, you actually think of these three words first before 'heard of me'. This word 'heard of me' is actually a matter of a leap of faith, since you just gotta hope that your mouth can say a word that rhymes with this."

"I know it's confusing for the A-B-A-B scheme, but that's how it works. You start from bottom-right, then bottom-left, then top-left, and then top-right. Remember, that the top-right word is the least important, so you just either gotta have it in your head, or hope that you get lucky that your mouth said a word that rhymes with the ending word."

"Lastly...the dreadful A-A-B-C-C-B rhyme scheme."

"So, like the A-B-A-B scheme, lemme go make an example."

The lines are:

"I'm hella hype. If you got a knife, you ain't killing me."

"The bars I'm spitting. Better keep it written throughout history."

"So...I'll try my best to break it down and simplify it as much as possible." I giggled.

"This is like an addition to the A-B-A-B scheme. So...like the A-B-A-B scheme, you gotta find a word that you'll use for your final sentence. In this case, it's 'history'."

"Then you take content from history, so if you think of 'history', you think of 'writing', so you put 'written' in here."

"Finally, you think of a rhyme for 'written', and you can put 'spitting'."

"The thought process? It's kinda the same as the A-B-A-B scheme, but with ADDITIONAL STEPS."

"So, you first think of 'history'. After that, you think of 'written', then you think of 'spitting'. Once that's done, you then proceed to the A scheme. Here, I put 'hype', and 'knife'. Once that's done, you do the same thing as you did in the A-B-A-B scheme, which is to just hope that your mouth will say a word that rhymes with 'history'."

"So, to make it simplified, you think of bottom-right, then bottom-middle, then bottom-left, then top-left, then top-middle, then top-right, and remember that you just gotta hope that your mouth says a word that rhymes with the top-right word."

"Now, as much bullshit as it sounds, the reason why I say 'hope' is because of the fact that I can rhyme a lot. You cannot do this by normal means unless you're a rhyming god. That's why I say 'hope', 'cause I know so many rhymes that I know will rhyme with the word I chose. If you're a beginner, you absolutely cannot do the A-B-A-B or the A-A-B-C-C-B scheme, cause you didn't even lay down the foundation for your rhyming skills."

"So that means, if you get past the A-B-B-A scheme, you can definitely do the A-B-A-B and A-A-B-C-C-B scheme, because your rhyming skills would've gotten solid by then."

"Now…enough chatting, everybody! That's all for my explanation. Now, it's time for us to get to the fun part! Actually freestyling the techniques!"

And the 10k viewers in the chat, surprising as it was, spammed the chat. I thought they were bored, but they actually liked it, even though majority of them didn't really understand it, mostly 'cause they don't rap themselves.

"WOOHOOO! YEAH, BABY! THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! WOOHOOO"

"Shiro on the mic! Shiro on the beat!"

"*mic emoji*"

"*mic emoji*"

"*mic emoji*"

"o7 SHIROOOOO"

"*mic emoji*"

"Let's go!"

And so here are 4 lines of each rhyming exercise I did from a hundred bars in the span of 30+ minutes, and yes, I did the A-A-B-C-C-B, but only for a few minutes, since that legitimately requires Eminem's brain to execute that for more than 5 minutes. Hell, it's even amazing if you can rhyme for more than 8 bars with that. Even then, I actually stuttered a lot of times in that rhyme scheme, only proving my point further that it really is a hard rhyming scheme to execute.

"Watch your fucking voice, bitch. Don't stir some drama."

"I'mma roast your sorry ass hotter than some lava."

"Smack your head against a wall and cause a big trauma."

"You looking hella hungry, so here, bitch lasagna."

"I'm a damn gladiator. I'm a damn eradicator."

"Zoning in at every hater a.k.a the masturbators."

"Spitting all the sweet bars. Most of them can't see far."

"And yes I'm a big star. Pulling strings, guitar."

"Uh. A new Vtuber coming as he's spitting bars."

"Got the automatic. I ain't got a fucking AVR."

"I'm a pesky fox, better call me Shirakami."

"I'll slice your head. Causing death like a shinigami (Grim Reaper)."

"Knock you out of balance. None of y'all can beat me."

"Nothing is a challenge. Everything is easy."

"Pulling with a rope. There ain't nothing I can't handle."

"I be singing notes as I play with the piano."

"I come and slice with my scythe. I'm the shinigami."

"I spit the verse full of words out the dictionary."

"I spit with flare. Lending ears, coming here to listen."

"I tell the truth. Got the news like the television."

"WOO! That's a whole 30+ minutes done, Privates! My mind is absolutely drained, I'm currently...aaahhh!!~ I'm actually mentally drained." I laughed after the yawn.

"It was really tiring. But that's how practice affects ya! It pays off in the end, but in exchange, you gotta go through the hellish training and really get drained. That'll be all from me, Privates! See you in the next stream!"

I breathed out as I did my outro.

"Shiro on the mic, Shiro on the beat, Shiro with the heat, everybody, thanks for coming to my stream! Yeah, and you know I got the big dreams. Privates, I'mma see you all in the next stream!" I clapped as I played my outro music, which is basically my loading screen BGM, and showed the outro pic.

"Whoo...another stream done…" I said as I slowly moved myself back with the wheels of the chair, moved my keyboard slightly towards the screen, and then slowly put my forehead against my desk.

"Now what do I do...?"

Now that I think about it...They still prolly have not forgotten about what I did earlier in the kitchen...how am I gonna face them now? Not that I'm embarrassed, but I can imagine them saying stuff along the lines like…

"Seriously? You say you're a tough guy, but look how submissive you are." Kiara said while looking down at me.

"You're a bother. Why do we have you as a talent in Hololive?" Reine said with those dark blue eyes of hers as she looked down.

"You can't even fit properly in Holostars, let alone Hololive. Try to be normal for once." Astel looked down on me.

"...KILL ME, PLEASE!" I sobbed like a chibi anime character.

'For real though...I wonder what they think of me now...?'

I wouldn't mind that but...my only fear is that I can't fit in anymore...even though I normally wouldn't care about it, I just...feel like I might be seen as a separate entity from Hololive, even though Subaru assured me about that…

"Hah, it's such a hassle to think about…" I said as I looked at my computer's clock.

"...Still early 10 AM…"

I stared at it for about 10 seconds, playing a couple scenarios in my head, wondering if I could do something right now.

"...I think I can make it." I said as I suddenly stood up and put my everyday dark green hoodie on, and put on some shoes. I also brought my wallet with me, brought the steel wire for self-defense purposes, and I headed out.

I went out to buy my usual food for lunch, went back to the school, and ate lunch early. Thankfully, not a lot of Hololivers were at the lounge, so I avoided some contact.

After eating, washing the dishes, and brushing my teeth, I also worked a bit more on my song, constantly also keeping an eye out on the time until 11:59 PM.

By the time it reached that, I went out of my room, and proceeded to exit the building. However, some boys stopped me as they sat at the kitchen.

"Yo!" Astel, Roberu, and Miyabi said.

"Ah, yo." I said.

"Where are you going?" Roberu asked.

"Gonna go to B2-A and talk a bit with Shiina." I said.

"Oh? Your proclaimed blood sister?"

"Yeah."

"Just curious, why do you want to know about her?"

"Well...I mean, if she claims to be, then I need to know why she knows me and I don't know her."

"And just curious, why would you also want to know that?"

"Well…" I looked down for a bit.

...

My mind started rewinding backwards. All the way back to the past up to my childhood the first time I asked my mom a certain question.

'Mom, why is my hair white and my eyes red, while your hair and eyes are both black?' Innocent child me asked my mom as I was watching TV while sitting on the floor.

'Oh? Well…' She said as she sat down beside me and pulled me a bit closer to her.

'You see...Shiro, you're not actually my real child. You were somebody else's child before. I just adopted you and made you my official child.' She giggled.

'So...does that mean you're not actually my mom...?' I asked with a slight frown.

'Aww…' She said as she bent a bit and kissed my head, proceeding to then pat my head.

'I AM your mom. I just wasn't the one who gave birth to you…'

She hugged me and giggled as I smelt her motherly scent that every child would smell. A scent that assured them they'd forever be pampered, even when they're an adult.

'But no matter what others would say, you will ALWAYS be my child...and I'll do anything to keep you happy and let you live the life you want. I'll always be there by your side.' She said, before my mind went back to the present time, and the only last thing I remember before the memory would go back deep into my mind was her kissing my head once more.

"...It's a personal thing."

"But nonetheless, I do want to know if what she's saying is true, and hear what she has to say for the rest of the history." I continued as I instantly ran towards the building where Shiina is.

I looked back as I ran towards the building, seeing some girls and the boys in the kitchen looking at me, before I looked forward again, and looked for the building with the big B.

"Alright...B, B, B…" I said as I looked for the building among the big ass buildings.

As soon as my eyes laid on that big shiny B, the bell rung, and the whole school would then have the students dismissed, later on going out of the buildings. I decided to just wait around the corner near the entrance.

'Bad idea, since some Privates among the students will definitely freak out and might come to me, but if it means I can find Shiina, then hey, it's a small price to pay in my eyes.' I thought and sweat dropped.

Once some students finally went out of the building...you know what happens next.

"OH MY GOD, SHIRO-KUN…!!!~~~~" One of the girls said.

"I'M SUCH A HUGE FAN! I SAW YOUR DEBUT, AND YOUR RECENT FREESTYLE PRACTICE STREAMS! I DON'T UNDERSTAND A THING, BUT YOUR FREESTYLING SKILLS ARE SO SUPREME!"

"PLEASE COLLAB WITH CALLIOPE-SAN ONCE YOU GET THE COLLAB BAN LIFTED! I WANNA SEE THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER!"

"I'M SO HYPED FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO RELEASE AN ORIGINAL SONG! YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT, SHIRO-SENPAI!~~~~"

"A-Ah...please calm down, all of you." I giggled nervously and sweat dropped.

'I swear to God, if it weren't for my conscience, I just wanna run away.' I deadpanned.

"...Oh?" I said as I saw two peculiar hair colors within the crowd that's going out of the building. One that's dark purple, and the other has white hair with some black strands sticking out randomly.

"Ah, sorry, everybody, but I got some business to take care of." I said as I gently pushed the girls to the side as they all also stepped back a bit.

"S-Shiina!" I shouted.

"Oh? Ah, Shiro-niichan!" Shiina said.

"Hah...hey, IRyS." I said as I went up to the two of them, along with some of her friends.

"Hey, Shiro-senpai! W-What brings you here?" She asked in English.

"Mind if I borrow Shiina real quick? I just got a few questions I need to ask from her privately." I replied in English too.

"Ah...Shiina, are you okay with that?" IRyS asked Shiina in English.

"Yeah! Besides, I do want to know more about him personally too, instead of just hearing about him from my father."

'Father...? Her father knows me?'

Who the hell could that be...? My mom's friend?

"Well, please take me to a private spot where we can chat, Shiro-niichan."

"Yup. Well, thank you for giving me my possible sister, IRyS. Were you gonna eat together, by the way?"

"Yeah, but she knows already where we're gonna eat. Just make sure to not take too long, she doesn't want to miss out on lunch, right?~" IRyS said in a tone that sounded like she was trying to make fun of her while smugging.

"H-Hey, I eat a lot, but I also exercise a lot too!" Shiina pouted.

"Well, anyway, let's go talk somewhere else, Shiina." I said.

"Yeah!" She said.

We went somewhere around the edge of the school where we leaned on the bars as I looked down at the ocean.

"You're not gonna check the beautiful view?" I asked Shiina who was a couple steps behind me.

"I-I have a slight fear of heights." She giggled nervously.

"Well, to keep this between us, let's talk in Tagalog, okay?" I said in English, before my mind would then switch to Tagalog mode.

"Sige. (Okay.)"

"So...first off, what the hell do you mean you're my little sister? I have never known you in my entire life. And what do you mean my mom never informed me about this?"

"Well...you see, behind the scenes, your mom and my dad would secretly talk about us through the phone, talking about how cute we were, and wondering how we'd interact if we ever met." She giggled.

"And how did you know me even though I never known you?"

"Well, my dad couldn't keep his excitement. Your mom was actually planning to tell you too, but...it seems certain circumstances couldn't let it happen." She put her finger on her mouth.

"Who's your dad, by the way? I know a couple male friends my mom knows, but I don't know any of them that has a child like you, let alone a few of them having a wife."

"Well...do you know the name 'Maruyama Alex'?"

I widened my eyes.

"My sensei?!"

"Yeah! My father is your sensei! The one who also taught you how to speak Tagalog."

"Eh...?"

'I can't believe it...my sensei had a cute daughter like this, and she's my little sister…'

Then again, it sorta makes sense, since my sensei said his actual home was at San Francisco in the Mindanao region, and we usually meet him at Luzon or Visayas, since he works quite far from his family.

"Though, how do you know we're blood-related? For all we know, you could be totally unrelated to me."

She pouted.

"My appearance isn't enough for you?" She asked.

"Yeah, I mean, doppelgangers exist anyway. So...I'm gonna need some solid evidence."

"Well...lemme just tell you a bit of my history."

"You see, my dad found me in an alleyway around Kyoto. I was apparently wrapped in white clothing sleeping on top of a cardboard box."

I widened my eyes.

"In Kyoto with some clothing?"

"Oh? Yeah. What's wrong...?"

"...My mom saw me wrapped in white cloth too, but I was in a basket." My voice shook a bit, thinking of one thing in my mind.

"O-Oh...I'm sorry to hear that, Kuya Shiro…"

'...If our real biological mom did that…' I thought as I clenched my fists.

"Oh...?" Shiina noticed my fists and stepped back a bit, but not too much where she's really scared. She was just more or less surprised.

"...What else do you know about our real biological parents?"

"Well...I know for a fact that we're half-siblings. Specifically, we came from the same mother, but different fathers."

"F-Fathers...?"

"Yeah...you're really tall compared to me. I actually fit in really well with the Filipinos since my height is rather short. And plus…"

"I have heterochromia, and my hair is rather strange, since I have a couple of black hair strands sticking out in random spots, while you're normal, so I could deduce that our mother had red eyes and white hair. The only thing I know about my father is that he must've had this heterochromic gene in him."

"...So that means my father was a tall man."

'I also don't know if he was caucasian, or just a really tall Japanese man…' I thought.

Then again, my nose is flat, so I think it might be the latter, but who knows? Me and Shiina both have a bit of a flat nose.

"Well, nonetheless, that must be enough evidence to prove we're somehow related, right?"

"...Is there at least one more evidence you can show me?"

"Hmm? Well…" She said as she started walking towards me.

"...Oh?" I said as she grabbed my hands and put her fingers in between my fingers and looked at me as she pressed herself on my body.

"If you want to, we can do the deed...and see if the result ends with a good child. If it doesn't, then that'll be the most obvious sign that we're true half-siblings."

I groaned a bit and squinted my eyes as she giggled with a smug.

"...Are you teasing me?"

"Maybe?~" She giggled once more before getting off of me.

"Though...there's one more thing I can say. You remember that DNA test you took before?"

"Oh? That one?" I said as I recalled the time I was curious of the results of the DNA test I took before.

"Yeah...your mom and my dad talked about it through the phone, and we were about 50% related. I saw the results with my own eyes.

"Oh...? Really?"

"You think I'd lie to my own big brother that I yearned to be with?" She pouted.

"Not really…"

'Not to mention, I can't believe she's this cute...she's also hella short. Definitely like the Filipinas there.' I chuckled internally.

"Well...I guess that's all I need to ask. You can go back to IRyS now." I said as I spoke in English.

"Thank you! Oh, and by the way…"

"...Oh?"

"...I know you might not accept my feelings, and even more so now that you know we're actually blood-related, but…"

She looked at me in the eyes with a huge smile, and with no hesitation at all, almost as if she had no regrets, she said,

"I love you, Shiro-niichan! Not just as a brother, but as somebody from the opposite sex!"

I widened my eyes a bit.

'E-Eh? She loves me as what now?' I thought.

"I know you won't accept it, but...I just wanted to tell you how I really felt these past few years after discovering you were my real half-brother! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here now! You gave color to my dull life after I felt really down! You sparked the almost-dying fire in my heart! And if you never existed, then I would've stopped living by then!"

"I really really really really love you, Shiro-niichan! From the bottom of my heart! And I won't stop loving you until the day I die! Even if we'll never be together, I'll do anything for you! Even taking a bullet to protect you!" She said with slightly clenched fists.

"...Hehe." I said as I walked towards her, seeing her slightly teary eyes as she slightly looks down, grabbing her uniform tightly.

"You've done well with your confession. I admire you for that." I said with a slight smile and patted her head.

"But I'm sorry, 'cause not only are you my sister, and we both know incest is bad, but because…"

"I think I fell in love with another woman."

Shit...am I really gonna go down that route? Do I really have a crush on Subaru after all? I mean...thinking about her, she is hella cute, and a really good friend to have.

"...I already knew it...I just wanted to tell you my feelings...just so that you'll know how special you are in my life…" She said as she started tearing up, and her voice let out a small squeal.

"Aww...I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you in the Philippines as a big brother, but...better late than never, am I right?-" I got cut off as she suddenly wrapped her arms around me, and leaned in to my body, making me slightly fall backwards, but I luckily caught myself with my feet.

"Yeah...at least...we were able to meet up and finally have our own alone time to talk personally…" She said with a few sobs here and there.

"Yeah…" I said as I patted her head once more.

I moved her head a bit upwards and put my thumb against her eyes as I swiped it against it gently, feeling her smooth skin.

"I know you're overwhelmed by emotions, and you probably still want to hug me, but...I think you're gonna have to go now. IRyS and the others are probably waiting for you."

"Yeah...I'm sorry...it's just that...it's really you, Shiro-niichan...and I finally got to meet you after only hearing and seeing you through my phone's screen for about 4 years…"

"4 years, huh? Well, I guess you're lucky to finally meet me."

"Yeah!" She said as she released me and wiped her eyes.

"I-I'll see you soon, Shiro-niichan. I don't know when, but soon enough, we might talk again! Bye!" She said as she wiped her eyes and ran towards somewhere. I stood still, seeing where she was going.

"Huh...the club building, huh...? I guess she's a Shiro fan club member…" I mumbled.

I walked back to the holohouse with my hood up, despite how hot it is, and after coming back, I was suddenly hit with a small-chested brunette.

"Woah!" I shouted after being pounced.

"SHIRO-KUN! I GOT A QUESTION!"

"The hell, Matsuri?! You didn't need to pounce on me!" I said.

"That doesn't matter! I heard you went to meet Shiina-san!" She said as she let go and put her hands up while also seeming to smile widely.

"O-Oh? W-What about it...?" I sweat dropped.

"So?! What's the news?!" She asked with sparkling eyes.

"N-News? Um...I don't know what you mean, but if you mean what I was able to get from her, I confirmed that she's my real half-sister…"

"Eh?! So, did you ask her anything more than that?"

"No…" I sweat dropped more.

"Did you two get close?! Did you ask her why she likes you?! What food she likes?! What games she-"

"I'm gonna be completely fucking honest, Matsuri, could you back off, please? You're actually making me uncomfortable." I deadpanned as I used my right index and middle finger to push her forehead away.

"Oww...!!!" She shouted, and after I did a slight push to get her off of me, she held her forehead.

I glanced at Fubuki, seeing her look at Matsuri with a slight frown.

'Oh? Are you jealous, my friend?~' I thought in my mind with my right eyebrow raised slightly and my mouth slightly grinning.

Well...I don't know about the relationships between the members, but...if I remember correctly, Matsuri had something between her and Fubuki, and her and Luna…

"Anyway, I'm gonna go to my room. I think I'll do a superchat reading stream for my 100k subs special stream."

"Oh? Ah...okay." Matsuri said.

'It seems the boys either went somewhere or are in their rooms. Well, I guess I have no worries right now.'

Especially considering the fact they seem normal now...they didn't even ask me about anything related to what happened this morning...

~~BLOOPERS~~

"...I know you might not accept my feelings, and even more so now that you know we're actually blood-related, but…"

She looked at me in the eyes with a huge smile, and with no hesitation at all, almost as if she had no regrets, she said,

"I love you, Shiro-niichan! Not just as a brother, but as somebody from the opposite SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!"

I widened my eyes a bit.

'N-Nani?!' I thought.

"LET'S FUCK UNTIL MY MIND BREAKS, SHIRO-NIICHAN! LET'S HAVE A HUNDRED KIDS!-No...A MILLION KIDS! LET'S SHOW THE WORLD HOW MUCH WE LOVE EACH OTHER AS SIBLINGS!"

And then they fucked happily ever after out in the open.

~~~~THE END~~~~

Yeah, remember, that's a blooper, not the actual end-DON'T LEAVE MY BOOK YET Q-Q
