Perhaps you can explain to me...
...what all of these Tori-senpai cushions are doing in my room?
...Huh?
You mean they're not yours, Suzu-chan? Haha...
24-hour phone support
Hello? I'd like to arrange for disposal of some cushions, please.
I lied, I lied! They're mine. I'm sorry!
What?! They weren't yours, Suzu-chan?!
Don't come in here! And don't call me by my first name!
Wanna be a bad girl!
Please notice me, my love!
Look this way, my girl!
See my love overflow for you!
I'm changing visually and emotionally 'cause of this love
Like I've been hypnotized
My feelings are running so wild I'm constantly confused!
But I still want to become
The only one that you'll call
Your good girl, bad girl, your special someone!
GO! GO! GO! GO! Wild for love!
GO! GO! GO! GO! I'm already off course!
She was well-behaved for all her life, but now a sudden 180?!
It must be because of love, oh no!
Dye my hair to get a new look
No longer doing things by the book
This new me is gonna burst onto the scene!
Act out, go wild, that's my ideal
Don't try and tell me this isn't real
Love is blind
Even if I take a deep breath this feeling won't stop
My quickly-beating heart is leading me into a lovestruck daze
Learning by watching others is the best I can do
But I do it with love
Because these feelings have changed everything about me
I was doomed the day we met
I can't help it 'cause my heart is beating for you
I'm on the verge of forgetting everything until now
From the shock of my heart pounding in my chest
I love you so much that I don't know
What time it is right now?
I think of you all the time and it's left me confused
But I still just have to know
What am I to you?
A good girl? A bad girl? Your special someone?
GO! GO! GO! GO! Wild for love!
GO! GO! GO! GO! Reach your heart with my love!
A Really Fun Toy
Oh, so that's what happened?
The cushions have been put away
Y-yes.
It seems like the manufacturer got the amount wrong...
So you asked Suzukaze-san to look after them for you?
No.
She didn't ask me at all, she just decided to-
Th-that's right!
Hey!
Suzu-chan wanted one too, so...
Stop that!
It's okay, you know? You don't have to be so embarrassed.
I can hit you if you annoy me while in my territory, can't I?
Even if it's okay in this area, it's not okay by national law.
To that end... let's play at Suzu-chan's!
To what end?
I mean, I wasn't prepared to receive visitors...
And I don't have any makeup on. No. I don't wanna.
What? But Suzu-chan, you're cute even with no makeup on, so you're fine!
R... really?
Uh-huh!
Smirk smirk!
Don't say expressions out loud like that! You're pissing me off!
Just until the living room at Yuu's place is free, okay?
Thanks! I'll relax and make myself at home then!
You really are shameless, aren't you?
So... what shall we do?
Hmm... Ah!
This means... I can put one of the "Things I Want to Do With Senpai" into practice!
Things I Want to Do With Senpai
Accidentally Touch
While Playing Video Games!
"Number 156: Accidentally Touch While Playing Video Games!" Could this be my chance...?
Okay, I'll just casually suggest a game...
S-Senpai...?
I... have a really fun toy we could play with... if you're interested?
They decided to all play against each other.
A serious showdown sounds like fun,
so why don't we add forfeits, too?
Forfeits?
That's right!
Like being driven off this planet; something like that...?
Something within the realms of common sense, please.
Within the realms of common sense...
So what distance is okay?
A different district?
Let's forget about driving anyone out of anywhere for now.
This is a party game where everyone has an equal chance of winning.
So whoever comes first can give a forfeit to whoever comes last.
Okay.
Sounds fun!
Get ready to change your place of residence.
Huh?
You're gonna let me live here?
Absolutely not.
I didn't just choose this game for its fairness... I chose it because you operate it by moving your body!
Skinship
So that means... more skinship opportunities!
Ah!
Hey, hurry up and get off me.
S-sorry. My body moved on its own... I'll get up.
Dara!
Dara?!
Kanazawa-dialect phrase
meaning "idiot"
I'll be okay up here! This way I won't hit either of you!
Well... if you're sure.
You won't beat me this time!
I'm gonna turn the tables on you.
Hah!
Take that!
Ahh!
Yuu-chan, Suzukaze-san... it's a little cramped like this...
It's the best option, isn't it? If we don't restrain you, you'll flail about.
It's the best option!
Wow, you didn't have to say it that loudly.
I did it!
20 minutes later
st
Yaaay!
nd
rd
Let's see, what shall I have you do for me?
I know! I'll have you call me Onee-chan, Suzukaze-san!
Hey now...
Come on! Hurry up!
O..Onee-chan... That's enough, right?
What? You said it so quietly, I couldn't hear you, so say it one more time!
Grrr!
Ack!
A-to-ri O-nee-chan!
S..Suzu-chan... You're hurting Onee-chan...
Come on! We're playing another round!
What? I'm perfectly satisfied with just one, though...
What're you talking about?!
We're only just getting started! I'm not stopping until I win!
2 hours later
Suzu-chan...
Don't look at me with those pitying eyes...
And quit looking so smug!
I-I won! Yuu! I won!
I'm so happy for you!
Now then...
Time to finally let off some steam...!
Ahaha... Don't be too hard on me, now...
Here you go.
It really is a little embarrassing... wearing something like this.
Oh, I'm well aware.
Now come on, say the line.
M-Master...?
Um... You know, getting no response is kinda making me feel even more embarrassed...
Damn... I meant to laugh at her.
This only worked out for her 'cause she has such a pretty face...!
Hey, now. Did I enchant you? Are you enchanted, hmm, Master?
You're so annoying today, exaggerating everything...!
Whatcha think, Yuu-chan? Does this suit me?
Yuu-chan?
Her heart's stopped...?
Bad Girl
THE END
*Just kidding
Yuri-Track Camp
Hey everyone!
World's Cutest
Y-Tuber Rura Ruriha
(Self-Titled)
World's Cutest Y-Tuber Rura Ruriha here.
Today, I thought I'd come to the mountains to relax and recover from the daily grind,
and shoot a solo camping video while I'm at it...
OoOOoOooHH
...but it's pretty scary up in the mountains, huh...? These lands are where evil spirits reside.
15 minutes earlier
What wonderfully fresh air!
Oh, that's right.
Ahh... How relaxing...!
A beautiful girl sitting in the dappled sunlight... This setting has a certain charm to it, doesn't it?
It's the kind of place that makes you want to write poetry.
OoOOoOooHH
What is that loud, echoing noise...? Don't tell me it's a bear?!
It sounded like it came from... over here?
I'll walk slowly and carefully so it doesn't hear me...
OoOOoOooHH
I should be able to see from here...
ROLL
Th-this really does hit different, doesn't it, Yuutani-san?!
ROLL
Right?! Houpai-ing out in nature like this really hits different! It's a higher purity high!
Houpai:
to release one's
inner love for one's
senpai (Atori Mizutori).
ROLL ROLL
Next, I'm going to summon an imaginary Onee-chan and have an air-hug session!
Oh! Good idea! Let's houpai to the max, until the sun goes down!
I think I would've preferred to find a bear...
Sheesh... What on earth was that hellish scene about, anyway...?
Next, I'm going to summon an imaginary Onee-chan and have an air-hug session!
Oh! Good idea!
Imaginary...? Air-hug...?
Ruu-senpai!
Wait! Why did she pop into my head just then...?!
B-but, well...? It's no wonder she happened to come to mind, right?
I guess I'll give it a try-
Um, excuse me.
Huh? Tanishi... senpai?
It's Shijimi! Wait, no it's not! What do you want?!
Sorry to bother you, but could we share your fire? We kinda forgot our tent and lighter...
How the hell do you forget your tent?!
We were so overwhelmed with emotion from houpai-ing...
This is my chance to make them understand how wonderful Ruu is!
H-hey...
If you need it that much, you can share my tent, too?
Oh, no, just the fire is fine...!
What's wrong with my tent?!
In the end, they ended up borrowing all kinds of things
Thanks for all your help. To repay you, I'll do the cooking.
Oh, really?! Thanks!
M..Mizutori-san, you can cook?
Of course. I do all of the cooking at home.
I figured that the way to my sister's heart was through her stomach,
so I've been honing my skills since I was a child.
In the end, I only won her stomach over. Her stomach and nothing else. That's it!
That must sting...
It's delicious...!
It really is delicious, isn't it?
That's only natural. After all, I worked hard for fifteen years only to win a stomach and nothing but a stomach...
Mizutori-san...
I may have lost my opportunity to take it easy on my own, but eating together like this isn't so bad either...
provided that I ignore the large quantity of dubious baggage protruding from my tent...
Excuse me, I'm just gonna go to the restroom.
Okay.
...So, let's get started, shall we?
With what?
Atorinium
Taking Atorinium.
And what is that hella sketchy-looking substance, exactly?
How dare you...! There's nothing sketchy about this at all.
Atorinium
It's a concentrated version of the natural aura and scent that my elder sister produces.
It's perfectly safe in small doses.
That means it is harmful in larger doses though, doesn't it?!
If you're worried, then why not just have a sniff of it instead?
Huh...? Well, just a little, then...
It was a little far away so it took a while to get back.
H-huh...? Mizutori-san?
I'm sorry for taking so long. What happened...?
Welcome back! You were gone a while, weren't you? Were you okay walking in the dark?
I'm having a great time already.
As soon as I approached her, I got drowned in a sea of words.
Did you know that the feeling of having fun is largely caused by something called the happy hormone?
You all think so, right?
Shiji- Ruu-senpai?! What exactly are you doing...?
After all, I...
Ruu-senpai?
Besides... Besides, Ruu's just worthless!
I don't have any friends, I get mocked by my own audience, and you won't even say I'm cute!
Wh-what's wrong? All that stuff you said isn't true, you know?
...Really? Then... is Ruu... cute?
You're c...c-c-c...
Lol!
Mizutori-san, stop laughing and help me out!
But just as I thought, "happy hormone" was just a common name, not its official name!
Its official name is serotonin!
Along with oxytocin and dopamine, these three became known under another name as hormones responsible for happiness!
You're... c-cute, aren't you?
R..Ruu-senpai...?
That makes me so happy!
What should I do?
This means that we must turn our attention to the foods we eat, too!
In order to form serotonin, it goes without saying that one's tryptophan intake is of utmost importance!
The problem is, my sister doesn't eat much soy or dairy products! So to remedy that, I...
Wait... this fragrance... I can feel myself getting...
Sunlight?
In the summer of her
15th year, Yuu Yuutani...
lost her way for
the first time in her life.
Wibutt
You got lost in the mountains.
Where did those two go...?
Ngh! My head hurts...
My memories of yesterday feel all fuzzy... But I'm sure that after I got back from the restroom...
Cut off my melon if you must!
Treat your life with more importance!
F-first, just calm down, Mizutori-san.
Is one not enough?! Then by all means, take three, four even...!
I don't need any! Besides, there aren't even four to take!
A-are you saying you'd take three?! Seriously?!
That's not what I mean at all!
...I'm sorry. I messed up.
I can't remember clearly, but... I think the Atorinium I brought caused all this ruckus...
I can't apologize enough...
D-don't worry about it, please. More importantly, let's search for Ruu-senpai.
...Thank you.
10 minutes later...
I'm stuck!
It's a wild butt!
A talking wibutt (wild butt) appeared!
I-is someone there?!
Whoa! It really is a talking wibutt!
Wh-who're you calling a wibutt?!
Wait, that voice... Ruu-senpai...?
Yuu Yuutani, is that you?!
Wh-what're you doing up there?
I-I don't know! When I woke up, my butt was stuck up here like this...
Whose butt are you calling big?!
I said nothing of the sort!
Well anyway, it's lucky you got here so quickly. If I stayed here like this for too long...
Such an excessively lovely objet d'art would soon be discovered by the general populace!
Ruriha's here!
I'd be visited by so many people that the local area would flourish...
and I'd almost end up having a hand in the local nature getting destroyed, without even meaning to... how scary!
Welcome to
Rura Ruriha
What abundant powers of imagination...!
They start to push.
Okay, here we go.
Hey! This is a young maiden's butt you're pushing! Be gentle!
S-sorry! I'll be more gentle...
Do it more like... In a more logical way!
I'll try!
They tried a push + pull configuration.
Ready, go!
She's... so close!
Her skin's so smooth... Wait!
When she makes a face like that so close to me, I feel...
H-hey... Yuu Yuutani. Could you control your expression?
Huh...? My expression? I'll try.
Oh. This is way worse.
They got her out.
The GPS isn't working...
Then let's all head towards the summit.
The summit? I thought we were supposed to follow the river...
If you follow the river, you're out of luck if you reach a waterfall, and there's a risk of areas being flooded, too.
In an emergency, it's best to head to higher ground, where landmarks will be more visible.
Wow!
I never knew that. How impressive!
This is common knowledge for high school girls these days!
Common knowledge for high school girls these days...?
Is it common knowledge for high school girls nowadays?
Common knowledge for high school girls these days...?
It is not common
knowledge
for high school girls
these days.
3 hours later
Yuu Yuutani... don't you have any water?
Oh... Uh... I already drank it.
But it's okay. Apparently, tardigrades can live for more than ten years without water.
Are you a tardigrade?
...Here.
Huh?
I-I can't have you collapsing and causing me trouble!
Th-thank you.
Thank you! Now I don't have to go into a cryptobiotic state!
Cryptobiotic state
Are you a tardigrade?!
Ah! I touched my lips to the bottle mouth... Um...I'll go wash it...
It's fine. I don't really care about that stuff.
This is an indirect kiss, isn't it...?! Isn't it?!
W-well, these are unforeseen circumstances, right...? I mean, there's nothing I can do about it, anyway.
I-I just have to endure it, since I'm the senpai here...
...What?
What're you looking at?!
And why have so many animals gathered here, anyway?!
Huh? What is it?
It seems that they were attracted by the Atorinium.
M-Mizutori-san, you can understand what they're saying?!
Yeah, I guess.
I have no friends, after all...
Is that... relevant...?
Since I had nobody else to talk to, I ended up talking to animals as if they were people... or something like that.
She's gonna make me cry!
Th-then could you ask them if they know the way back...?
Oh, that's a good idea. I'll try.
It seems like they do.
Wha?!
They made it back.
Sheesh... This was supposed to be a trip to help me relax...
I really am sorry about this.
...It's fine, I don't really care.
But really, thank you so much for your help.
You were so cool and reliable...
...Ruu-senpai.
W-well, I'm your senpai, after all! You can rely on me anytime!
I will, if I'm ever stranded again.
Only if you get stranded?!
My trip didn't exactly work out, but I managed to show them my dignified side as their senpai, at least.
Hm?
You have a new message.
What's this message about?
"Congrats on your video clip going viral"? Oh, there's a link in here.
Besides... Besides, Ruu's just worthless!
I don't have any friends, I get mocked by my own audience, and you won't even say I'm cute!
My subscriber count's increased like crazy.
In exchange for the most embarrassing moment of my life, my subscriber count increased like crazy?!
Rock you!!
I don't really know what defines being bad
Or what dictates whether someone is normal or not
Sorry to say but breathing is about all I've done
Throughout the years of my life
(Kya-hoo!...)
(Come on, get it together)
I can't solve any love equations
Though being cute seems to be the best answer
I want a shock to the system that'll make me feel
Like I'm crushing these quiet days with a glass slipper
(Hey) Put on your best glare
(Hey) Act like you don't care
(Hey) Shove those hands into those pockets
(Hey) I wanna break through
(Hey) The impossible
(Hey) Be unpredictable
Show your bad style with a hey yo man
"I want you to pay more attention to me."
BAD BAD BAD SURPRISE
I'm gonna push you to the limit with all my love
BUD BUD BUD I LOVE YOU
Can you feel it? You should feel it! Come on, notice me!
Ha BAD BAD BAD SURPRISE
Being a little problematic is all part of the charm
One more chance! No more chance?!
Waiting and hoping with everything I have
Live free bad girl
Just act the part
Be weird and laugh, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Laze away, bad girl
Be annoying, fool
Don't underestimate us
Be rebellious!
Rura-chan
Rura-chan Wants to be Pampered.
Rura-chan
Wants to be Pampered
Rura Ruriha is a streamer.
I did it! I made my first friend!
And Rura Ruriha has always been mocked by her audience for having no friends.
Is it some kind of spiritual being?
It's just an act.
You made contact with a human!
For real...?
Wha?
Liar
There she goes again lololol
A friend... isn't that an urban legend? How scary!
I'm not lying!
We went camping together and everything! Well, I guess this is what happens when Ruu makes an effort!
However, as of today, that seems to be coming to an end...
Huh...?
We need proof!
Ah...*just realized*
I see~
Uh-huh~
...or so she thought.
Good for you, Ruuran!
Congrats!
I'm happy for you.
Let's make this day a
national holiday.
Cheers!
Don't just start being nice to me all of a sudden! Be more... You know... Make fun of me like you always do!
However, Rura Ruriha is the kind of person who ends up feeling dissatisfied even when people pamper her.
