Kai: Kyrell! Kyrell!
Kyrell: Hmm?
Kai: Why did you-?
Kyrell: Erase myself? Cause I was out of options.
Kai: We could've found a way! If you've just given us time.
Kyrell: I keep telling you Kai, no amounts of trying or fighting will ever make them change their mind. This was the only way I could think of, I'm sorry.
Kai: But-
Kara: That's enough Kai.
Kai: Huh?
Kara: Kyrell is right, nothing will change their minds, we've tried for years and we got nothing. Kyrell managed to solve his problem all on his own, he didn't need us. Yes it was a drastic act and there could have been a better way, but it worked and who knows if we were ever going to find a better way.
Kai: How can you say that Kara? We're going to lose our brother!
Kara: I know that! But would you really rather put him through more pain just so you can stick it to them?!
Kai: We can still expose them.
Kara: How? They have the whole world wrapped around their fingers, nothing we do will affect them. We'll be brushed aside.
Kai: I-
Kyrell: Kai. I get that you want to beat them and punish them, but I keep telling you, this world is not a fair place, sometimes injustice will prevail and justice will sink. You have to learn to accept that.
Kai: …
Kana: Kai?
Kai: Huh?
Kana: I don't like this either, but if it means Kyrell would be happier and free, then I don't mind. I hate that I may never see him again, but if it means he'll no longer be suffering, then I prefer this way.
Kai: … I don't like this.
Kyrell: That's fine.
Kai: I won't stop on trying to get them exposed.
Kyrell: I won't stop you.
Kai: But… if this makes you happy, then… then I'll support you. It's the least I could do… as your brother.
Kyrell: Thanks Kai.
Kai: …
Fubuki: Kyrell?
Kyrell: Oh. Hey girls. Sorry you had to witness that.
Sora: No it's ok. We're just glad you'll be able to be yourself.
Fubuki: And we- uh… we wanted to wish you good luck, for whatever comes next for you. We barely know anything, so we can't really say anything about your decision. So this is the best we can do.
Hololive: Mhm.
Kyrell: Girls… You're all taking this in rather well.
Towa: We've had some experience in saying painful goodbyes.
Kyrell: … Thanks, everyone. But really I should be thanking you. If it weren't for all of you, I'd probably be miserable for the rest of my life.
Sora: What do you mean?
Kyrell: Well… I know I never really showed it, but I was really happy to be with all of you. You're all great people, I can see why so many fell for you girls.
Hololive: Huh!?
Towa: What… what are you saying?!
Fubuki: Does that mean-?
Sora: Kyrell?
Kyrell: Hmm? Does that mean what?
Sora/Fubuki/Towa: Nevermind…How dense can he get? Well, that doesn't mean I'm giving up though.
Kai: So what do you plan on doing now?
Kyrell: Well I can't really stay here anymore, since I severed my very connection to this world, I basically don't exist anymore. So I think I'll be going off a world for a while.
Kara: Will you come back?
Kyrell: That I'm not so sure, I know one way to come back but whether I can stay for long periods of time is a different question.
Kana: I'll support you in any way I can/
Kai: Yeah, 'cause if you don't come to visit I'll drag you back here myself.
Kyrell: Ahahaha… noted.
Kara: Do you know where you'll be heading to?
Kyrell: I ain't telling, not yet at least.
Kara: Okay, well so long as you've got yourself sorted, but what are you gonna do about Aelin?
Kyrell: I've contacted others who were willing to take my employees in, some decided to take it, others said they didn't really need a job so they went home to rest. As for those who do need money they decided to start their own businesses since they couldn't bear the idea of not working for me.
Coco: You were a great boss after all.
Kyrell: Oh you two.
Coco: What's this did ya forget we were here boss?
Kyrell: No, of course not.
Kara: What are you two doing?
Coco: Ah the head of the house is planning on making me a manager and content director for her Vtuber group.
Kyrell: I talked with grandmother about hiring Coco as a worker for her so-called Vtuber group. I told her everything about Coco and grandmother basically hired her on the spot. So she's going to be working in Virtuo studios.
Coco: Kyrell convinced me that I can still help future Vtubers, so I'm staying here. Make sure you get my room ready gorilla!
Kanata: I'm not a gorilla dammit! And I left your room as it was, feel free to move back in.
Coco: Hehe.
Kara: Well that's a great opportunity Coco-chan. What about you Aloe-chan?
Aloe: I decided I'm going with Kyrell.
Everyone: Huh?
Botan: Wait you're going to go with Kyrell Aloe-chan?!
Aloe: Yeah, I have nothing here either. I lost my chance to be with you all and I can't go back to just streaming, I'm already way too detested. So I figured I might as well go with him.
Kyrell: Aloe, that's not a good idea I'll be going to dangerous places and-
Aloe: You don't think I can't take care of myself? I've grown in Aelin too you know. I'll be fine.
Kyrell: That's not the point.
Aloe: I've already made up my mind, there's nothing you can do to change that.
Kyrell: Uhh… I planned this to be a solo journey but… it probably won't be too bad.
Kai: When will you be leaving?
Kyrell: In a week. So we've still got time.
Kana: Then that means… We can hit the karaoke with Kyrell!
Kyrell: Huh?
Kara: You're right Kana, why don't we show the girls your singing.
Kyrell: Wait-
Suisei: I've heard him sing before, it's really good.
Sora/Towa/Fubuki: What?!
Kyrell: Hey wait a sec-
Kai: Right then in the last week we have with him, let's all go wild!
Everyone: Yeah!
Kyrell: No one's even listening.
Aloe: Hehe, I guess you're in for the long haul huh?
Kyrell: You said it.
Aloe: Hehe, well, let's celebrate this while we can cause who knows when we'll ever be back.
Kyrell: You know you don't have to come right?
Aloe: Drop it, I'm going and that's final.
Kyrell: … Heh, you've changed Aloe.
Aloe: Huh?
Kyrell: When I first saw you, it was almost like looking into a mirror, I saw a part of myself in you. That broken, tired boy that dragged his feet for years. So watching you now, holding your head high and talking with vigour, it's a great thing to see.
Aloe: Kyrell…
Kyrell: If I hadn't met you, then who knows if I would have ever done the things I have done with all of you, and especially what I just did in that house.
Aloe: Well, I feel the exact same way. If hadn't met you, then maybe I would still be in my room, crying about the mistake that cost me everything I wanted. I am who I am now, all thanks to you.
Kyrell: Yeah but, I'm definitely grateful for having you in my life.
Aloe: Not as much as me.
Kyrell: I doubt that.
Aloe: Oh yeah?
Kyrell: Yeah.
Aloe: Yeah?
Kyrell: Yeah!
Kyrell/Aloe: …Pfft, hahahaha!
Aloe: Guess we can't live without each other huh?
Kyrell: You don't have to put it like that.
Aloe: What's wrong? Getting flustered.
Kyrell: Hey now…
Fubuki: Ahh!
Kyrell/Aloe: Hmm?
Fubuki: You're flirting behind our backs? That's not fair Aloe-chan!
Aloe: Huh?
Sora: No cheating!
Aloe: Wait, everyone!
Kyrell: Hahaha. Good luck Aloe.
Aloe: Wait Kyrell, don't leave me here!
Kyrell: Hehe… I hope that even in the future, no matter what hardships come our way, we'll still be able to smile like we are now. That's all I can hope for.
And that's that.
I hope you all enjoyed this relatively weird story. I'm really surprised this got the attention it got but I'm very happy I went as far as I did in completing this. Though, most credit goes to all of you for always coming back, supporting Caretaker and enjoying it, that's all I could ever wish for when someone reads my tales. So thank you all for your kind support throughout this journey and I hope you will all keep reading more stories of mine in the future.
Anywho, now that I got all that out of the way, was never good with them really, I know you're all curious about what's coming next. Well... I'm taking a break from publishing any new stories since I have some other things to attend to for a bit, but I will be writing still.
To give you guys a good idea on what's coming up: Caretaker 2, OG story (will be published a different account maybe), and a new Hololive crossover story.
Like I said I'm not good with these sort of things, so I'd rather just get to the point. If you have any questions feel free to drop and I'll do my best to try answer. So that's that, I can't really express my gratitude with words alone, so I can only hope you all enjoyed Caretaker of Hololive, thank you all so so much and I'll see you all in a couple of months!
Bye Bye!
