Chapter 45: Catfighting

I reached out and wrapped my arm around Rania’s waist as I stepped closer.

“Kyaaah!”

No matter how distracted she had been, this was enough to jolt her back to reality.

She let out a cute shriek, which immediately brought a fatherly smile to my face.

“Rania, your waist is so slender.

You must take great care of yourself, huh?”

“T-Talsseong Unnie!! D-Don’t do this!!

It… it feels weird!”

– Oh… Ohhh!!
– HyoOooot!!
– Hey, hey, look! The nun is getting jealous! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Leaving Seria behind and flirting with Rania?!
**- As expected of Talsseong—one woman is never enough!
– Run, Rania! Escape her clutches before it’s too late!

Feeling a sharp gaze, I turned and glanced at Seria.

She was puffing up her cheeks, staring daggers at me.

– Puff-cheek Seria is TOO CUTE ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– It’s been so long since we last saw this!!
– Even donations don’t usually get this reaction, and yet…? ㅋㅋㅋ

But I wouldn’t back down just because of a glare.

Instead—

I tightened my hold, pulling Rania even closer, and then…

I locked eyes with Seria and smirked.

“What’s wrong?

Are you jealous, Seria…?”

– Kyaaaaaah!!
– What a dangerous Queen!!
**- Even when faced with Seria’s jealousy, she remains unshaken!
– This is Talsseong at her finest!
**- True alpha energy. **

“Hiiing! Unnie!!

Why are you leaving me out?

If you’re going to tease someone, tease me instead!”

She looked exactly like a whining puppy, begging for attention.

Her big, sparkling eyes were filled with so much emotion that not even a 3D model could accurately capture them.

She looked so pitifully adorable.

I let out a small sigh and started moving toward her.

But just then—

Rania suddenly grabbed my arm, linking hers around it.

“Where do you think you’re going, Unnie?”

– UWAAAAAAHHH!!
– WHAT IS THIS?!
– A catfight over one woman?!
**- Two women fighting over one Queen?! My brain is fried. **

**- Ding! **
[IWannaDieInThoseThighs has donated 100,000 KRW.]

I can’t hold it in. I’m going again.

– Wait, didn’t you just go earlier?!
– THIS GUY AGAIN?! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Bro, you need to relax.
– If you keep doing this, your bones are gonna crumble!!

**- Ding! **
[IWannaDieInThoseThighs has donated another 100,000 KRW.]

If I hold it in… I’ll just burst anyway.

– BRO, JUST GO ALREADY!!
– Why are you holding it in?!
– Just go to the bathroom, for crying out loud!

Seria’s eyebrow twitched as she watched Rania cling to me.

This was completely unexpected, even for me.

Still, sensing an opportunity, I simply smiled kindly at Rania and said—

“Oh my, my.

Just moments ago, you were squirming, saying you didn’t like it.

And now, you’re clinging to me like this?

You really are such a troublesome little sister.”

I patted her head gently, and in response, Rania looked up at me with a dazed, dreamy gaze.

On-screen, her 3D dragon model could be seen wagging its tail slightly while giving me a sweet, innocent smile.

The way the lamia tail movements were mapped onto the dragon tail created an oddly natural sync.

“Rania! Stop bothering Talsseong Unnie and let go!”

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seria looks pissed!
– The fangs are coming out!
– She’s seriously competitive, huh?
– Normally, she and Rania get along so well, though.
**- Seria’s obsession is showing. **

Seria rushed forward, wedging herself between us.

Rania reluctantly let go, her lips curling into a playful smirk, while I simply stepped back with a sultry smile.

“Ahh, what is this?!

The way you two are looking at me…

It’s like you’re both enjoying this too much!!”

– Seria, you’re cute when you’re flustered.
**- It’s because your reactions are adorable. **
– Big sis and little sis both looking at Seria like proud parents.
– Honestly, the fact that this can be captured in VR is amazing.

Thankfully, it seemed my teasing had helped Rania loosen up.

She was finally back to her usual self.

“Aww~ Seria Unnie, aren’t you being too jealous?

I mean, I’m Talsseong Unnie’s little sister too!

I deserve some affection too, don’t I?”

As Rania’s long tail curled playfully toward me, brushing against my thigh,

Seria’s hand shot out instantly—

Whack!

She smacked Rania’s tail away.

“What do you think you’re doing?!

Touching Unnie’s body like that without permission?!

Who do you think you are?!”

– WAIT, WHY IS SERIA THE ONE STOPPING HER?!
– If Talsseong had an issue, she’d say something herself!!
– Ah, no touching allowed, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
**- This catfight is delicious. **
**- As expected, Talsseong is just too popular. **

“Hmm~ So Seria Unnie…

You really like Talsseong Unnie that much, huh?”

“Of course I do!

I—I like…!

I… Fuuuuhh!!!”

– Wait, why are you getting flustered NOW?!
– Didn’t you literally confess via donation on your own stream?!
– Guess saying it in person is embarrassing, huh?
– Seria being all shy and girly is so cute, though.

“Alright, alright.

Let’s calm down and start today’s content.”

At that moment—

Both of them turned to me and said in unison—

“”Wait… we actually have content planned today??””

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
**- THERE WAS CONTENT?! **
**- The fact that this is a plot twist is hilarious. **
**- We all just assumed this was a free chat collab. **

Rania folded her arms and asked, “Why didn’t you tell us?”

I let out a soft laugh and answered, smugly—

“Because this time,

I am the one hosting the stream.”

“What?! But I specifically said I would be the host!!”

“Tsk, tsk.

That was a lie.”

“WHAT?!!”

– Ooooooh!!
– WAIT, SO SERIA ISN’T THE HOST?!
**- UWAAAAK! SHE GOT HER ROLE STOLEN LIVE!!
**- MC NTR!!! **

Rania, unfazed, simply shrugged and asked—

“Well, whatever.

So, Talsseong Unnie, what’s today’s content?”

Ignoring Seria’s complaints, I casually summoned a transparent chair, sat down, and crossed my legs.

“The challenge is simple—

Make Talsseong laugh.”

– Ohhh, so it’s a whoever makes her laugh the most, wins kind of deal?!
**- This is actually a great way to see their comedy skills. **
– But… can Seria even do comedy?
– This is seriously an unfair fight ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Now then,

Begin the battle.”

**- THE QUEEN HAS SPOKEN. **
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She’s just sitting back like a true monarch.
**- Literally watching from the throne. **

Seria and Rania, who had been bickering just moments ago,

Both let out a sigh.

“This is so random, though…”

“You really expect us to just start fighting like that…?”

Oh?

But weren’t you two just snarling at each other a minute ago?

If that’s the case…

I’ll just have to give them the right motivation.

“The winner of this battle…

Will receive 10 million won.”

– UWAAAAAAAH!!
– THE MONEY!!!
– NOTHING IS MORE POWERFUL THAN MONEY!!

Seria smirked and looked at Rania.

“Do you really think I’ll lose?”

– Oooooooh~~~~~~
– She countered the provocation perfectly!!
– Isn’t Seria basically the Talsseong expert at this point?!
**- Kyaaa!! That confidence!! **
– So damn cool!
– Ooooooh~~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– She even made a huge impact in the Cam Streamer vs. VTuber war before! ㅋㅋㅋ

“Alright then.

Who will take the first move?”

As expected, Rania confidently raised her hand to go first.

Seria, without hesitation, nodded calmly and stepped back, graciously yielding the first turn.

With that, Rania stepped forward and began her act.

She was given five minutes to make me laugh.

For the entire duration, she threw every joke she knew at me—**wordplay, slapstick, exaggerated reactions—**she used it all.

But…

“…”

– Ohhh…
– Talsseong is completely unshaken!
– She’s immovable!!
– Did you really think that would be enough to make her laugh, Rania?!
**- Pathetic! **

– Rania is literally putting on the performance of her life, and yet Talsseong doesn’t even flinch.
– This is somehow funnier than the actual jokes. **

And just like that—

The five minutes were over.

Rania, who had been so confident at first, now wore a defeated expression.

She had never expected it to be this difficult.

Now, it was Seria’s turn.

She stepped forward with unshakable confidence, standing in front of me.

“Ahem!”

Clearing her throat, she took a deep breath, as if mentally preparing herself.

Then, suddenly—

“Doki-doki~♡”

She spun in a twirl.

“Shuwa shuwaaa~♡”

She spread her arms wide, flashing an adorable smile.

“Oishiku nare~♡”

And then…

“Moe moe kyuuuun~♡”

She winked sweetly, forming a heart with her hands to finish the pose.

**- Rania’s face just died. **
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Did she really just pull out a Moe Moe Kyun on stream?!
– Pfffft hahahahaha!!
**- WTF IS THIS?! **
**- Bro, I’m actually crying. **

Meanwhile, my expression was…

– Wait. Why… is Talsseong laughing???
– Did we just immediately get a winner??
**- RANIA. INSTANTLY. DEFEATED. **
**- HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS FAST. **

Rania crashed.

Seria had instantly won.

“NOOOO!! THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!”

And with that,

The first challenge ended in record time—

And the 10 million won prize went straight to Seria.

Afterward, we continued playing the games the staff had prepared.

Since it was a full-body tracking stream, we played a lot of physical mini-games, making great use of our models.

Viewers laughed hysterically at our antics, and the YOLOLive official channel received an overwhelming amount of donations throughout the 4-hour broadcast.

But amidst all the fun—

I couldn’t ignore the occasional look of unease on Rania’s face.

Later that night—

“Great job today, Elf.”

“Thanks, Yog-ssi. I appreciate it, as always.”

After ending the stream and returning home,

I changed out of my clothes and collapsed onto my chair, stretching my legs out in front of my computer.

I figured I’d relax for a bit and powered on my PC.

As soon as I logged in,

I noticed a message in my Discord chat.

“Huh? Who’s this from?”

I checked the sender—

It was Rania.

Rania: Unnie.

Rania: Are you home right now?

Rania: Unnie…

The image of her troubled expression from earlier flashed through my mind.

I immediately sent a reply.

Me: What’s wrong?

The very moment I sent my message—

~!

A call request popped up.

I answered immediately.

The first thing I heard was—

[Unnie, can I stay over at your place tonight?]
