Nia fell in deep thought.
She had successfully tailed Rimu undetected. Unlike what she had worried, Rimu didn't visit any of the suspicious places, she simply going back to her residence. But the question is, now what?
'Rimu-chan didn't do [enkou] and just go straight to her home... Really?
Did she detect my presence? But, it doesn't seem like she did...'
Nia's expression turned complex, 'Maybe she only does it at night. If that is the case, then I can't do anything...'
She is aware that she couldn't just follow Rimu all day. She would only ask for trouble with her family if she goes back home late. Because her mother's angry face is scarier than Hannya1 !
However, let it alone is also not an option.
Her precious Rimu's chastity is at stake!
While Nia's mind is busy thinking about that, suddenly from her behind, a hand tapped her shoulder. Accompanied by a familiar voice.
"What are you doing, Nia-chan?"
"Ugyaaaaa~~!"
Nia was startled and couldn't help but let out a scream. She jumped sideways reflexively, but her foot slipped and she magnificently crashed to the ground. Her misfortune continued as she elbowed a full of trash can sideways, causing the content to fall on her body.
SFX: *BAM* *CRASH*
"Auuu~!"
Riku speechlessly shakes his head.
'You don't have to give that overreacting reaction, right?
I didn't bite, you know? I'm honestly kinda hurt...'
Sighing deeply, Riku helped Nia to get up. He shoves the trash to the bin and stretched his hand to her.
"Are you okay?" Riku asked.
"Hauu~ It hurts..." Nia desperately endures her tears.
However, Nia quickly regained her composure. Because right now, Riku is in front of her. She couldn't let her beloved prince see her disgraceful state, right?
Though, that's already far too late.
Ignoring her dirty appearance, Nia smiled and greets him.
"Good afternoon, Rikk... Riku-kun. Today is great weather, isn't it...?" Nia awkwardly said. 'That was close, I almost call him Rikkyun as I usually did in the fan club...'
"...Well, this city's weather is controlled by the government. Of course, it's always good except on a day with scheduled rain." Riku paused for a moment before continuing. "More importantly, why are you in front of my house?"
"...Eh, ah... that's..." Nia contemplated.
She couldn't find the words to express her objective to Riku. There is no way she could tell him that she was stalking his twin sister. Imagine if your crush found out you had been stalking one of his family members. That would be just creepy.
But at the same time, she couldn't deny the possibility to get Riku's cooperation. As Rimu's twin brother, he could keep watch on her far more than Nia could. The problem is how to convey it in words.
'Riku-kun, Rimu-chan is engaging in prostitution. Let's stop her together! ...No, that's too direct! He won't believe it.
On the contrary, high chance he would accuse me slandering his sister and his favorability towards me would drop!
Riku-kun... Help me observe Rimu-chan, please... No, no... that's basically admitting I stalked her blatantly.
Aaarrgghh, what should I say in this situation...?!'
Noticing the change in Nia's expression, Riku couldn't help but think. Perhaps it was something that couldn't be said out loud. Girls often liked to be more secretive than the boys.
Even something trivial info like their age, 3-sizes, weight, and height are included in their secret list. Though, a glance is enough for him to calculate those things effortlessly. Not that he cares about it anyway.
But, since Nia bothered to come to his residence, most likely she had some matter with Rimu. It would be a manner to invite her to their house. Not to mention her clothes were dirtied because of him. Ignoring such a girl as it is was not a gentleman should do.
"Come in then, let's clean your clothes first." Riku grabbed her hand and pull her to his home.
"Eh...??! ...EEEEEEEEHHH??!" Nia couldn't help but shriek due to the suddenness.
Nia was startled. Her prince, Riku had invited her to his house. And his house is obviously also Rimu's house. Both Nekomiya siblings also undoubtedly present as well!
What a Shangri-La! And now, she was about to enter it!
Desperately holding back her excitement, Nia hides her grin with her remaining hand. She followed Riku obediently and enter the house.

Rimu leaned back in the rotating chair. Putting the strength in her legs, she spins the chair with a glee in her smile.
"Spin spin spin spin~"
The successful attempt of the 3D Printer brightens her mood.
"If I just do this in my previous life, I wouldn't have the need to spend money to buy so many things..."
Checking her phone, she opened the Paypay app and confirmed her balance. As promised, Kurumin-sensei sent the rest of the money after Rimu emailed her drawings.
Rimu had expected some complain since she 'mass-produce' it in one fell swoop, making the quality lower than her usual standard. If that's the case, then she prepared to redraw it one more time, adjusting to Kurumin-sensei's preference. But it seems Kurumin-sensei didn't even notice the drop in quality.
Well, it was understandable. If it's only 1 or 10, she might be noticed. But once the quantity reached 100+, the illustrations only serve as a scroll extender, so the chapter looked like longer than the usual. Nobody cares about the quality anymore, as long as it can properly convey the content of the chapter.
After calculating the profit and subtracting the cost of the beauty products, the remaining money is...
"¥15.650... Not bad." Rimu nodded satisfyingly.
Closing the app, Rimu thinks about the next step. Now that she had verified her Paypal account, she became qualified to expand her evil claw business to the international level and earn dollars instead of yen.
Their value is obviously different. With the international exchange rate in 2018, $1 can be converted to around ¥100. For example, if she earns $100, that's equal 1 yukichi (¥10.000) which means worth about 5 weeks of her current allowance2Chapter 30, Rimu's weekly allowance was increased to ¥2.ooo.
As for how Rimu earns the money, she had some idea where to get them.
- Make a blog with Blogger or Wordpress and put ads in it to gather revenue.
- Become a vlogger or live streamer and upload her video to Youtube.
- Use Patreon and Ko-fi to gather donations.
The first one is easy, Rimu just needs to post her drawing in a blog and that's it. Though applying for AdSense is a different matter since they restricted the age limit and the site must have existed at least 6 months before you can apply one.
"But, there is no harm in creating a blog first. As for AdSense, I probably should ask dad. Though, that's for half a year later."
The second one, this is kinda tricky, because to monetize in Youtube requires 1.000 subscribers and 4.000 hours of watch time first before applying for one. That itself could be solved with time, the real question is... what is the content she should upload?
"V-tuber... No, thank you. The trauma still hangs on my spine."Rimu shuddered.
Actually, Rimu had tried to be a V-tuber in her previous life and failed miserably. The reason is, her figure can not be said to be beautiful. If only that might not be a problem, because V-tubers on Youtube don't rely on their original appearance.
With a certain app, Rimu's chubby figure and plump face with pimples is hidden with a slim and cute anime character. She can become an idol on the internet and gather quite a number of fans. But one day, something went wrong and caused the app to crash in the middle of her live stream. What happened after that, needless to say.
Well, the internet is also the place that didn't escape from lies and deception. If you play MMO games, you will find out that 90% of the girls is actually a GIRL (Guy In Real Life)!
In comparison, a plump mesu goblina transforms into a beauty once she is inside the screen is not that surprising.
"I didn't want to repeat that kind of mistake again... So, revealing my face is a big no!" Rimu shakes her head.
Even if Rimu had returned to a loli, trauma is still a trauma.
To preserve her sanity, Rimu decided to not expose her face in the net ever again!
Rimu gripped her fist.
"For the time being, I think I'll just play all of Riku's games and record it for my video contents.
All of them will be speedruns!"
The third one, Patreon and Ko-fi... Already created. This step is a must. Even if Rimu can't earn money from the monetization, she still can earn a few bucks from the donations!
Suddenly, a thought surfaced from her mind as she remembers something.
"Ah! Why I forgot about that, there is still one more thing that can earn me money!" Rimu facepalmed.
With a quick movement, Rimu opened her browser in the PC and go to the Discord website3 https://discordapp.com/. She quickly created an account and logged in directly from her browser. Even though Discord client didn't work with a Raspberry Pi, but fortunately the web version still works just fine.
Clicking the [+] button, Rimu typed a few links that she could remember to join those servers. From the 11 links she had typed, only 3 is connected as the rest didn't even exist yet.
Rimu's eyes glistened with excitement as she browses those servers. And from three servers, one of them fulfilled Rimu's condition to earn some money. And that requirement is...
"Art Contest!" Rimu shouted happily.
One of the servers is a forum that discusses a lot of topics, including anime, games, or even gossips. Currently, they were holding a monthly art contest. The first place will receive a whooping $100, 2nd place $75, and 3rd place $50.
There is no way Rimu will let off this chance.
With her capabilities right now, she confident 80% can grab the first place.
"Fortunately, the time limit is next Sunday. There is still time to prepare for the full power!"
As for the other two, they only a regular gathering place for an online game. At this time, those servers only serve as a guideline for the games that Rimu doesn't even interested in. However, Rimu knows that those two places will regularly hold similar contests in the future to revitalize their servers, as their player base eventually declined and migrate to the newer games.
For the time being, she decided to keep those two servers in check.
With that said, Rimu relaxed her body and spin the chair once more.
"Spin spin spin spin~"
While Rimu was engrossed with the rotating chair, Riku's voice could be heard downstairs. It seems he had returned from his club practice.
Rimu quickly gets off from the chair and immediately walked downstairs.
Thanks for the chapter, and welcome back cat-san

You don't need "the" there in between "In" and "Real".
Thnx for the chapter!
Can't wait for the next!
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
