[Mio Okura]: "Drive-your-brother-out? Is Lady Ayaka trying to take over the Kamisato Clan Head position? (cry-laugh emoji)"
[Aragaya]: "We know it's the 'Not-So-Serious Commentary', but this is way too realistic!"
[Wakazumi]: "I'm starting to lose track of which one is the real Lady Ayaka…"
[Tepei]: "The elegant White Heron Princess becoming like this… I just hope the commentary on Sangonomiya-sama is normal! (scared emoji)"
[Master Mao]: "Heh, don't think too much. No one survives that commentary with dignity!"
[Lawrence]: "Exactly! Just get used to dying socially. Even Lady Barbara is used to it now."
[Lumine'er]: "Right! I heard even Liyue's Yuheng is moonlighting as a beef-offal vendor these days. Adaptation is key!"
[Uncle Tian]: "Ahem… even Ganyu is in that state. When you think about it, social death is basically normal now."
[Sedna]: "Is… is that really normal?"
[Hoffman]: "Of course! Look at my sincere face!"
People from Mondstadt and Liyue reading this: …speechless.
"Get used to social death" — what kind of consolation is that?!
These people have already been destroyed by the commentary, and now they want to watch others suffer too.
Mondstadt – Near Springvale
"W-wow…"
Paimon sucked in a cold breath.
"Ayaka actually attacked her own brother?!"
They already thought the previous yandere video was terrifying enough —
But now? Now Ayaka was physically beating Kamisato Ayato with a wooden sword.
Not creepy, just brutally direct.
Straightforward violence.
Who could withstand that?!
Lumine… or rather, Aether, blinked in confusion.
"Huh? Isn't it normal for younger sisters to beat up their older brothers?"
She tilted her head innocently.
"I used to chase my brother around to hit him all the time."
Paimon froze.
Then her eyes widened again — losing count which time today.
"What?! Since when is 'sister hitting brother' normal?!
Is it me?
Is it you?
Or is it this entire world that's wrong?!"
But then —
ding — a realization struck Paimon.
"Wait! Aether!"
"Yes?"
"What if… what if the reason your brother is avoiding you,
is because he's terrified of you…
because you used to beat him up?!"
Lumine paused. Her hand touched her chin.
Thinking…Considering…Evaluating…
And the more she thought, the more that explanation made sense.
If her brother was scared of getting punched again…
That would explain why he wasn't coming to meet her.
After all —
She had been searching for him nonstop, all across Teyvat.
And he was nowhere to be found.
If the Fear of Little Sister™ was real…
Aether clenched her fist.
It cracked loudly — crunch—crack—crack.
A terrifyingly cheerful smile spread across her face.
"Hehehe… If that's the case…"
"I REALLY look forward to our reunion."
Paimon shivered violently.
Aether cheering Ayaka on:
"Nice!
Hit him harder!
Send him out the door!
There's no place for him in this house!"
Paimon: I think something has gone terribly wrong… again…
Meanwhile – Abyss Base
Aether watched the scene with a sigh.
"Ah… that's a familiar sight."
He had been on the receiving end of Aether's fists many times before.
The only difference was —
At least he didn't get kicked out of his own home like Ayato.
Poor Ayato…
He had no idea Aether was now contemplating the exact same thing.
Inazuma – Kamisato Estate
Silence.
Weird, awkward silence.
Ayaka and Ayato both stared at the screen, speechless.
Even Thoma didn't dare breathe loudly.
Thoma's brain was spinning:
"…Do siblings really… fight like that?"
"…Has Ayaka ever…"
"…Wait—no, she wouldn't—right?"
"…Or would she…?"
He recalled the yandere smile from earlier.
Instant goosebumps.
He shuddered.
Ayaka finally turned around.
"Brother, that wasn't me!
It must be that same voice actor from the 'Funny Girl' video — the N person!"
Ayato smiled gently.
How could he ever blame his sister?
But he did find the video hilarious.
"So, Ayaka—
You want to take my position as Clan Head?"
"I can step down anytime."
He pointed at his seat dramatically.
"You can sit here right now if you want."
Thoma immediately followed along like an actor on stage.
"Indeed! From today, Lady Ayaka is the new Clan Head!
Ayato-sama and I will faithfully support you!"
Ayaka: "…"
Why is everyone in this family like this today?!
But since they already joked about it, refusing would feel stiff.
So she played along.
"Very well."
"I won't expel you from the house after all."
"You may keep being Clan Head for now, Brother."
Ayato bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Clan Head-sama."
Thoma: "Clan Head-sama!"
Ayaka: "…You two…"
But she laughed.
The Kamisato estate had always been strict and formal.
For once, it felt warm, lively, and fun.
[Extraordinary Chat Group]
[Alice]: "Tsk tsk~ Compared to the 'serious' version, THIS looks like the real Kamisato sibling dynamic."
[Venti]: "Ehe~ 'Sibling affection', huh?"
[Yae Miko]: "Kamisato-Style Brother-Extermination — the true Kamisato sword art."
[Aether]: "Please watch carefully— 'This house has no place for you!'"
[Itto]: "WAHAHAH! So this is Ayato's position at home?"
[Furina]: "Not 'family position'. More like 'family demotion'!"
[Paimon]: "I bet Ayaka is about to say 'That's the voice actor, don't confuse us!' again~"
[Charlotte]: "Hehe, Paimon's already learned how to pre-empt!"
[Alice]: "Come, come~ Experience the N-blessing~"
[Navia]: "Come, come~ Experience the N-blessing~"
[Hu Tao]: "Come, come~ Experience N~"
Ayaka massaged her temples.
These people…
Absolutely hopeless.
Inazuma, Tenshukaku
Yae Miko rested her cheek on her palm, amused.
"Oh my~ Little Ayaka is about to ascend the Kamisato Clan Head seat~"
Then her eyes flickered playfully as she turned toward Ei.
"Say, Ei~"
"How about you let me sit in the Shogun's Seat for a couple days?"
Raiden Ei went full "anime dead fish eyes."
Just… stared.
Miko clicked her tongue.
Even the Kamisato siblings could loosen up!
Why was her dear friend still such a stiff block of wood?
But before she could tease again—
"Sure. No problem."
"…Huh?"
Ei repeated calmly:
"I said no problem."
"You want to be Shogun?
I'll let you do it for two days."
The fox priestess froze.
What.
WHAT?!
Yae Miko's brain short-circuited.
Shadow agreeing?
Shadow voluntarily letting someone ELSE be Shogun?
That was more unbelievable than Shadow cooking a proper meal.
"Ei… did someone possess you?"
"Or did you eat too many dango milkies yesterday and fry your brain?"
She reached out to check Ei's forehead—
"Stop that."
Ei smacked her hand away.
"I'm serious."
Her tone turned solemn.
Kujou Sara had purged the corrupt Tatarasuna officials.
Both the Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission were temporarily shorthanded.
The nation needed an authority figure to stabilize everything.
Ei couldn't do it —
She needed to suppress the Autonomous Shogun puppet.
And Yae Miko…
was the only person with the power, status, and intelligence to handle this.
Though Ei would never admit the "lazy fox" part aloud.
Miko, realizing this wasn't a joke, stiffened.
…She was just teasing!
She didn't actually want to become Acting Shogun!
She pictured:
endless paperwork
countless meetings
no reading light novels
no fox naps
no oily tofu snacks
no drama in the chat group
Instant headache.
"Ei… maybe we should—"
Ei cut her off.
"You don't want your childhood secrets exposed, right?"
The smile was gentle.
But every syllable was a threat.
Yae Miko: "…"
Where the HELL did Ei learn this underhanded technique?!
Who influenced her?!
"…Fine. I accept."
She surrendered.
Otherwise, she'd end up like Ganyu —
overworked, under-rested, and socially traumatized.
"But only temporarily!
You must handle your own mess soon."
"Of course."
Ei was satisfied.
Blackmail worked wonders.
She should use it more in the future.
Back to the Villa
Arthur closed the livestream and sighed in satisfaction.
"Ayaka and Aether… truly blessed with chaotic voice actresses."
"Just like the legendary 'I Am Kamisato Ayaka's Dog' meme — timeless."
He checked the barrage of comments.
Everyone had turned into a 'fun-seeker.'
"Poor Ayaka…
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong CV."
He shook his head, then addressed the stream:
"Today's commentary ends here."
"I'll upload the full recording later."
"Tomorrow, same time, we move on to the next region — Sumeru."
He stretched, saving the clips for editing.
