A Thank-You. (2)

"good job actually paying"

"ojou not just taking it for free, huh…!?"

"nah, an Ojou-sama paying up is the correct answer"

[Sakura]: "the freckles you draw on, and the glasses you can glue on from cut felt, i guess? embroidery works too, but felt is easier. for the eyes, it's either embroidery or buttons"

"sakura-san, are you perhaps trying to drag ojou into the handicrafts swamp?"

[Sakura]: "hahaha ('▽'), handicrafts are fun. well, i mostly do cosplay costumes though"*

"Sakura-san, you're a cosplayer? My, you really do have some range～…"

[Sakura]: "i make yuuta wear stuff too!! yamato won't wear this kind of thing irl, though…"

"oh, dungeon braver was an irl-friend party"

"those who know, know. it's not really hidden, they mention it on stream sometimes"

"heh… er, wait, this is ojou's stream, maybe we oughta stop here"

"yeah"

"yep"

"Regardless, thank you so very much, Sakura-sama… I don't have a printer or anything, will that be all right?"

[Sakura]: "there's the convenience-store print option too"

"she's incredibly thoughtful and thorough"

"ask her anything and you get a full answer back… she's 100% gonna sink ojou into the swamp…"

"W-Well then. A surprise return-gift for Kokuyou it shall be～!"

Incidentally, anticipating exactly this kind of situation, she'd told Kokuyou not to watch today's stream. Karona quietly began her preparations for the present.

Meanwhile, doing his best to stay tucked in the shadow of the fired-up Karona, Sebas was posting in the chat.

[Sebas]: "The old man wouldn't mind something as well, yes…"

"ah, sebas lol"

"you haven't given ojou a present yourself, can't be helped, old-timer"

[Sebas]: "Mmm! Indeed, you are quite right. 'To ask, first give,' as they say. The old man too shall gift Ojou-sama something～! … However, collecting Ojou-sama's shed hair is… truly a bit much…"

"you don't need to copy her that far, y'know???"

"just have ojou buy you materials honestly?"

That sort of exchange was unfolding between Sebas and the viewers.

"… By the way, Sakura-san, supposing I were to make a felt mascot of Sebas, how much would the pattern run me?"

[Sakura]: "hm? let's see, i do have a butler-outfit pattern, so… friendship price, about 3000 yen?"

"That much? Well then, may I ask it of you?"

[Sakura]: "leave it to me. i'll send it by tomorrow. the difficulty might be a touch higher, though"

[Sebas]: "Ojou-sama!! The old man is so very pleased～!!"

Sebas was posting rather noisy comments, but as a rule, those were ignored.
