Chapter Title: This Isn't a Q&A—It's a Total Roast Fest!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Coward.

That single word popped up above my head with a heavy doong.

Not only the chat window, but the members were busy bursting into laughter.

Wuu, you guys are too much.

S-sure, I do get a little scared of horror games and stuff.

But still, saying I'm more of a scaredy-cat than Ji-ah Big Sis?

『Look at Lulu-chan looking all aggrieved, hehe.』

『But is there anything to feel aggrieved about? The answer was obvious.』

『True that.』

『She got so scared playing a horror game that she asked me to sleep together.』

"Uwgh…."

- lolololololol

- Lulu-muru lolol

- Accept reality, Lulu-chan

- Even elementary school kids don't act like that lol

But I couldn't resist the barrage of follow-up attacks at all.

I had karma piled up against me, after all.

Or maybe not karma—more like an embarrassing black history.

That day I collabed with Ji-ah Big Sis, I got scared and asked to sleep together.

Same thing happened with Yuna.

Of course, that time Yuna suggested it first because she was worried about me.

Still, I was relieved deep down.

『Well, seems like Blue LUV's biggest coward is settled, so shall we move on to the next keyword?』

『Yessir!』

『Congrats, Maknae!』

I'm not happy at all about this….

Someday, I'll definitely pass this title on to someone else.

Just you wait—I'll become a super tough Uparupa.

[Small]

As I made that vow, the next keyword appeared.

But the moment I saw the word, a wave of unease washed over me.

"Small"? This feels like it's straight-up targeting one person…?

『Alright, this keyword is 'small.' Move your cursors to the member it fits. One, two, three…』

『Ah, this one's obvious.』

『Agreed.』

As the President's countdown continued,

the members chattered among themselves like the answer was already set.

Only I, feeling left out, rolled my eyes in anxiety.

And so the countdown ended.

Finally, everyone's cursors appeared…

『Pfft!』

『Kkhuh…!』

Laughter they couldn't hold back exploded from everyone's mouths.

Sure enough,

just as expected, all the cursors were hovering over my head.

I knew it was a predetermined fate, but defeat kept me from picking myself—I just abstained.

『Sorry, Lulu.』

『O-our Maknae must be hurting…』

"Saying that after already picking me doesn't make it feel sincere at allll…!"

- lmaooooooo

- Lulu-chan is just a baby... gotta protect her...

- Fact: Lulu-chan said herself she's been shrinking lately

- How much smaller are you gonna get, Uparupa?!

Nyaargh!

You think anyone wants to shrink?!

And it's not like I've gotten that much smaller!

I'm still in the 150s!

『Well, everyone picked Lulu again this time… Mind sharing why?』

『I picked Lulu-chan 'cause she's the shortest!』

『I saw something when I went to the beach with Maknae recently… Ahem.』

『She's our small and precious Maknae, so of course.』

『My conscience wouldn't let me pick anyone else…』

- What?!

- Unit Leader, what do you mean by that...

- O_O;

- Can't help it if you saw her in person lol

- I love that Lulu-chan too btw

Their utterly sincere answers made me want to spit blood.

But the one that stuck with me most intensely was Chae-yoon Big Sis's words.

Just look at the chat—most were mentioning only her.

Wuu… S-sure, I am small…

No, maybe small to an extreme degree…

But publicly executing me like this is too much, Big Sis!

And there you are, you with the familiar nickname!

You're Cherry Squad, always lurking in my streams!

That kind of consolation doesn't make me happy at all!

Pretending to defend me while landing hits with your shield!

『By the way, I heard on stream recently that Lulu's been getting smaller and smaller—is that true?』

"I-it hasn't been that much shrinking…."

『Honestly, sorry Lulu-chan, but I was thrilled to hear that.』

『Right? She'll be even cuter smaller. I hope she shrinks enough to fit in my pocket someday.』

"At that point, I couldn't even type on a keyboarddd…!"

What on earth does Ra-hee Big Sis see me as?

At this rate, she's definitely viewing me as a doll or keychain, not a little sister.

Nothing else explains those words.

In the end, two keywords left deep emotional scars, knocking me down.

But the President carried on unfazed, as if it was none of her business.

『Great. Lulu's already claimed two keywords—shall we jump right to the next?』

Please, for the love of god, let this one have nothing to do with me.

[Big]

…Yeah, no relevance to me, huh.

But why does "small" have to be followed by this?

Is this some advanced roast combo?

『Ah, this one's easy too? Unanimous vote?』

『Is it? Aren't those two pretty close? When I felt them out at the beach the other day, they seemed ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠even.』

『Huh? Lilith, you touched Ellin Big Sis too, not just me?』

『You two, what are you saying on stream?!』

- Gasp

- What

- O_O;

- Unit Leader I'm so jealous ffs...

- Someone tell me what they touched?

Whether I was moping alone or not,

I was sidelined as the two who ranked second in our group got discussed.

Yeah, I have no idea what the members are talking about.

No clue at all.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

So don't ask me.

『Alright, here we go. One, two, three…!』

Doong—

Once again, a heavy sound effect followed the countdown.

All our cursors, including mine, landed on Ra-hee Big Sis.

Even she had picked herself.

『Oh, Lucrezia picked herself too? What's that mean?』

『I'm the tallest among us.』

『I see—so that's it? No other meaning?』

『Of course not.』

- Somehow I doubt it lololol

- Yuki official: Lucretia sis is Mount Tai itself

- Queen embodies grandeur lol

- Queen is impressive~

- Avatars alone... O_O

When the President asked why, Ra-hee Big Sis brushed it off coolly.

But her voice, with its slight sultry lilt, hinted at deeper implications.

The Pistas picked up on it too, flooding the chat with suggestive messages.

A-again, I really have no idea. No clue.

Just like Ra-hee Big Sis said, she's the tallest, so that's why we picked her.

Definitely not because beach memories came to mind. Nope.

『Alright. Whatever it is, congrats to Lucrezia, Blue LUV's biggest member. Next keyword.』

The President played it cool too as she moved on.

And the next word that appeared was…

[Tsundere]

Tsundere.

Huh, tsundere?

This seems pretty straightforward too?

Among our members, there's only one who fits tsundere.

The rest are all sweet and considerate normally.

『Is there a tsundere among us?』

『Big Sis is the only one who doesn't know—everyone else does.』

『Hehe, yeah.』

『That's how it always is—the person themselves never knows.』

"I think I know too!"

The person in question looked baffled all alone,

but the rest of us quickly reached a consensus.

『Blue LUV's top tsundere? One, two, three…』

The President's countdown ended, and all cursors appeared.

Right over Chae-yoon Big Sis's head.

『Eh, wha…? Me, a tsundere?』

『Big Sis, you totally are. Why act surprised?』

"Hehe, yeah. Lilith Big Sis is a total tsundere."

- Fr lol

- Just look at how she treats Black Moon Squad lol

- Not knowing herself is killer lol

True, how could Big Sis not know?

All the members think Chae-yoon Big Sis is a tsundere.

And for good reason—even casual chats make it obvious.

『The time I really felt Lilith was a total tsundere was Christmas Eve when we all hung out.』

『Yeah, yeah.』

Ji-ah Big Sis spoke up, like something came to mind.

I perked up my ears, focusing on the story.

Wonder what happened to make her think that.

『That dawn, we went to the convenience store alone together. I was underdressed and shivering a bit. Without a word, Lilith suddenly called 'Big Sis' and tossed me something. Turns out it was a hand warmer.』

Ooh, so that's what happened.

Ji-ah or Ra-hee Big Sis would've fussed over me carefully,

but casually chucking it over is so Chae-yoon Big Sis.

『Lilith was underdressed too, so I tried giving it back like 'you're cold too, here.' But she just said 'I'm hot' all nonchalant and headed into the store.』

『Kya, classic Big Sis!』

『Total girl crush!』

"So cool, Big Sis!"

『D-did I do that? I don't remember…?!』

- Kyaaaaaaa

- Tsundere queen Lilith lol

- Epic lololol

- I'd fall for her instantly fr

Everyone swooned at the cool aura just from the mental image,

but Chae-yoon Big Sis herself looked flustered.

To me, it didn't seem like she forgot—it looked like she was lying to escape the embarrassment.

Hehe, Big Sis is secretly shy too.

Of course, I get embarrassed by praise too.

But Chae-yoon Big Sis spoons it on thicker.

Whenever you thank her for looking out for you, she turns away pretending it's nothing.

『Oh! I have a similar story too. There were these macarons I wanted, but the shop had a crazy wait time. I mentioned it to Big Sis once, and like three days later? We met up alone outside, and she had bought them for me.』

『Whoa, really?』

『Yeah. I was so touched I asked if it was tough, and she goes 'Found it on the way' while avoiding eye contact fiddling with her phone. I nearly died from cuteness that day.』

『I-I'm dying of embarrassment right now…』

- Wait where you going

- First time seeing Lilith this shy lol

- So cuuuute lololol

- Unit Leader gained attack but lost defense...

- Why does an assassin need a shield? Oh lol

Boosted by this, Yuna shared her story too.

Chae-yoon Big Sis's avatar sank lower and lower under the onslaught.

She already gets shy from praise, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠but getting roasted on stream must hit extra hard.

Hehe, where do you think you're escaping to, Big Sis?

You went all out on me earlier—you should've known payback was coming!

『Even when Big Sis bickers with me all the time, she tsundere-takes care of everything I need.』

『Exactly. Lilith doesn't show it, but she looks after members better than anyone.』

『Textbook tsundere.』

"Lilith Big Sis has taken such good care of me too! The other ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠day…!"

『Please stop!』

Finally, Chae-yoon Big Sis yelled out,

but we went all-in, unleashing a barrage of praise like we were venting everything we'd endured.
