Coco: "Ah!"
Kyrell: "Oh hey, good work. Heard you've been lugging the laundry around."
Coco: "Yeah, we had a whole bunch of things. Bedsheets, pillowcases - are you sure this isn't a hotel?"
Kyrell: "Hahaha, nah. Tomorrow should be the futons that need cleaning alongside some curtains. We're gonna change decor for autumn."
Coco: "Ooh that sounds nice."
Kyrell: "Yeah, it's calming as well."
Coco: "Are we usually busy during the autumn months?"
Kyrell: "Not really, families don't tend to go anywhere for autumn, at most we'll get celebrations and meetings."
Coco: "But Hololive will be here by then, so we'll have our work cut out for us."
Kyrell: "You said it, I should probably hire more people to help around the inn while we deal with Hololive."
Coco: "Should we go and post something online?"
Kyrell: "Not yet, I'll ask my brother to help with finding any employees that would want to work here."
Coco: "Does he run inns as well?"
Kyrell: "No but he has several hotels he is in charge of, so he'll most likely have somebody."
Coco: "He has several hotels?!"
Kyrell: "Yeah, one he inherited from my mom, who used to run it and then he set other ones across the world."
Coco: "Wow…"
Kyrell: "Impressive isn't it? My brother inherited our mom's knack for business that's for sure."
Coco: "Oh yeah your mom's a businesswoman isn't she?"
Kyrell: "Mhm. She runs several things, but her main is in technology."
Coco: "You must be swimming in money."
Kyrell: "My family surely doesn't have any problem when it comes to money. But I don't particularly live like they do."
Coco: "You can say that again. You're hidden here with most customers being from other worlds. How come you didn't inherit anything?"
Kyrell: "I did. This inn belonged to my grandparents who got married here."
Coco: "Seriously?"
Kyrell: "Yeah, I asked them to give it to me since it was going to get sold anyways."
Coco: "Hmm? Why'd you do that?"
Kyrell: "Ah… well my aunt, my mom's older sister, said that the inn wasn't generating profits so it was best to sell it rather than keep wasting money on it."
Coco: "So you asked for it so that they wouldn't need to huh?"
Kyrell: "Kinda, I knew that this place was important to them, so by getting it I would preserving their memories… but it was also an easy ticket away from my family."
Coco: "I heard that they don't like you very much. You're aunts, uncles and cousins."
Kyrell: "Yeah."
Coco: "How come you're parents never made them stop?"
Kyrell: "You can't easily change the mind of those who are already set in their ways. They always held success above everything and if you didn't cross a certain threshold, you weren't worth a thing."
Coco: "But you're family!"
Kyrell: "That doesn't matter, the name I bear holds great influence and status if I don't live up to it… it's my family that gets humiliated."
Coco: "What… that's fucked up… ah I mean-"
Kyrell: "It's ok, my brother said the exact same thing once. But like I said changing someone who's been set in their ways is difficult."
Coco: "Still that's pretty cruel."
Kyrell: "Sure is, but if I act on it and call them out, it's not just them who'll be hurt, my entire family would be a part of a scandal and everything my grandparents worked for would be sent to the grave."
Coco: "So you decided to hide out here."
Kyrell: "Yep, and it's not like I don't get to see my family anymore, I just can't join large gatherings is all."
Coco: "Like what?"
Kyrell: "Birthdays, Christmas parties, large celebrations, weddings."
Coco: "Basically important events."
Kyrell: "Pretty much."
Coco: "..."
Kyrell: "... I know it's unfair, but I love my family and I don't want to be the reason why they lose everything. If I have to be a nobody to keep the peace, then I'll do it."
Coco: "You're really kind huh?"
Kyrell: "Haha I wouldn't say I'm kind. More like a coward."
Coco: "Huh?"
Kyrell: "Well anyway, I've still got things to do in the office so I'll be heading off. Thanks for the talk, I'll see you around Coco."
Coco: "Oh yeah, see you around."

Aloe: "Hmm, hmm hmm, hmm… Ah! Coco-senpai!"
Coco: "Aloe-chan…"
Aloe: "Coco-senpai? Why are you crying?"
Coco: "Aloe-chan."
Aloe: "Yes? What is it?"
Coco: "I'm-I'm-I'm gonna do my very best for Kyrell!"
Aloe: "Oh yeah, let's do our best." Did something happen? I'll go ask Kyrell if knows anything.
Ok everyone this is basically the end of the beginning arc, so to speak. I might not publish any Caretaker of Hololive next week because I've run out of ideas to write about, but it's only a might. Who knows I might get something great in the next couple of days.
Also for those who are curious, tomorrow I'm publishing the first chapter of Holo-Worlds, I was going to publish it today, but it may get overshadowed by this so I'll wait until tomorrow, but it is being published. Hope you all looking forward to that.
I think that's it for this week, I hope you all enjoyed this entry and I'll see you all next time.
