Regarding the Matter of Beautiful Girls Relentlessly Seeking My Body (Experience Points)
After the emotional moment between the twin sisters ended, there wasn’t even a moment to dwell in its afterglow.
Sana, who had regained her sight (though not in the complete sense), immediately questioned Aina about her outfit. When she learned that Aina had been working as a Dungeon Diver, she was furious. Sana made Aina sit in a formal seiza position and gave her a scolding, while Aina, despite being reprimanded, couldn’t help but grin.
Amidst this scene, Aina’s parents returned home.
One look at Aina’s outfit was enough for them to realize she had been Dungeon Diving. Her father was enraged, while her mother broke down in tears. Although Aina had been unfazed while being scolded by Sana, she became visibly dejected when her father admonished her.
Then, when Sana reported that she had regained her sight, their parents were overjoyed beyond measure. Suddenly, Aina found herself being showered with praise instead. The situation had turned completely chaotic.
When I nervously lowered my camera and greeted Aina’s parents, they bombarded me with endless questions, interrogating me until past noon.
Afterward, the Okumura family practically dragged me along for a celebratory lunch. We had an extravagant meal, and only then was I finally set free.
Every time Sana walked outside without her white cane or looked at a restaurant menu, her parents would start crying again. It was truly a challenge. To outsiders, we must have looked like a family involved in some sort of sketchy drug business.
“They were really happy, huh?”
“…Yeah.”
Right now, Aina and I are on a train heading back to the apartment. Sitting beside me, she looks relieved, as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. But at the same time, there’s something fragile and melancholic about her expression.
“They were happy, but also really mad.”
“…Yeah.”
Aina’s Diver License is going to be revoked by her parents. It’s only natural. Any responsible parents would put a stop to their beloved daughter secretly working as a Dungeon Diver.
Her independent living also came to an end. Soon, she’ll be vacating her apartment and moving back in with her parents and Sana.
“You became a Dungeon Diver to find the ‘Sky Eye Hawkeye,’ right? Now that you’ve achieved your goal, you can just enjoy your time with your family. Isn’t that great?”
“…Yeah.”
It should be a moment of celebration. Mission accomplished. Everything went as planned.
And yet, why does Aina look so down?
Well, I can guess the reason.
I let out a small sigh and place my hand on Aina’s head.
“…I’m gonna miss you.”
“……”
She doesn’t respond. She just props her chin on her hand, gazing absentmindedly out the train window at the passing scenery.
We travel in silence. We walk in silence. And eventually, we arrive at our apartment complex.
“Good job today, Aina. I’ll come visit, so let me know when you’ve settled in.”
“…Yeah. Hey, Tatsu-nii?”
“Hm?”
“Really… thank you. See you.”
“…Yeah. See you.”
Leaving those words behind, Aina steps into her room.
And a week later, the apartment next door was empty.
One month after Aina moved out, I received a message on my phone.
“…It’s from Aina.”
The sender’s name read “Aina Okumura.” The message was short: “Make sure you watch this,” followed by a URL.
It probably wasn’t some scam link, so I clicked it without hesitation.
“…A livestream?”
A countdown appeared on the screen, signaling that it was about to begin.
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
『Konnyanko! DTuber Ainyan’s live broadcast is starting, nyaaan!』
Aina, striking a cute pose, greeted the audience. The comment section flooded with messages: “It’s been a while!” “Why did you stop posting?”
『A lot happened, but first, I have a big announcement today, nya!』
With a beckoning motion, Aina signaled someone off-screen. A girl who looked just like her, wearing an eyepatch, stepped into view. Sana.
『This is my little sister, Sa-nyan! Sa-nyan, say hello!』
『Uh, um… Do I just talk normally? Uh… Hi, everyone. I’m Sana, Ainyan’s little sister. Nice to meet you.』
『Wait, Sa-nyan! You have to add “nyan” at the end of your sentences!』
『N-no way… That’s embarrassing…』
The chat exploded with reactions. Sana’s resemblance to Aina, her beauty, her shy demeanor, and the mysterious vibe given off by her black eyepatch made her instantly popular.
For a while, Aina led the conversation, explaining everything that had happened.
After about 20 minutes of chatting, Aina started wrapping things up.
『Today was just a quick announcement, nya! And as for this channel’s future, Sa-nyan and I are going to do DTuber streams together, nya! Stay tuned for updates, nyaaa!』
With that major announcement, the livestream ended.
“…Seriously?”
I was still processing the flood of information when my phone rang. The caller, of course, was “Aina Okumura.”
“Hello?”
『Tatsu-nii! Did you watch the stream!?』
“I did. I was so shocked I couldn’t even react.”
『Nihihihi! I knew it!』
“So you’re not just getting back into Dungeon Diving, but you’re bringing Sana along too? How did your parents allow that?”
『Once I turn 20, they won’t be able to revoke my Diver License anymore! I told them I was going back into it no matter what, so they reluctantly gave in!』
“Don’t cause too much trouble for them.”
『I know! Oh, and from now on, Sa-nyan and I will be doing DTuber streams together! You don’t usually watch this kind of stuff, but make sure to check us out sometimes, okay?’
“Got it. I just subscribed to your channel.”
『Nihihi, thanks! Also, Sa-nyan and I are moving near Shibuya Dungeon. We’ll be living close to you! Once we’re settled in, I’ll call you, so you better come visit!’
“Alright, got it. You’re gonna be busy, but good luck.”
『Thanks! See you soon, Tatsu-nii! Make sure you visit!』
“Yeah, yeah.”
Like a whirlwind, Aina spoke non-stop before abruptly hanging up.
We probably won’t be able to hang out as often anymore. But it’s not like we’ll never see each other again.
I still want to play Metafocus with her. I’ll make sure to visit from time to time.
“…Wait, that little thief took my Metafocus.”
It wasn’t an accident. She definitely did it on purpose.
“Oh well. Until I save up for a better PC, she can borrow it.”
Looks like my dreams of exploring unknown experiences will have to wait a little longer.
