Starting with Firefly, Speedrunning the World

This was something she had always wanted to do but never had the financial means for.

"We need tickets, but don't worry, leave it to me, I have a way!"

Nene Arakawa patted her chest confidently.

It made sense; after all, she was the daughter of the Arakawa Zaibatsu. Even if she was estranged from her family, getting tickets should be quite simple.

Firefly didn't ask any further questions.

The next morning.

Morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently falling upon the sleeping girl.

Firefly seemed to be softly enveloped in golden light, appearing exceptionally peaceful and serene. She lay on the soft bed, her body in a relaxed, natural posture.

Her hair was scattered across the pillow, flowing like a silver waterfall and emitting a faint, pleasant scent. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, like ripe apples, carrying a sweet aroma.

Her hands rested gently by her sides, fingers slightly curled, soft and beautiful like blooming flowers. Her feet were slightly tucked, as cute as a kitten's.

For anyone else, it would be difficult to decide to disturb the sleeping girl's slumber, but not for everyone. Not for a puppet.

"It's morning, time to get up!"

Miss Herta, who was on duty to wake Firefly, was very diligent and woke the sleeping girl.

Despite her reluctance, Firefly opened her beautiful big eyes.

She slowly sat up in bed, the blanket sliding off her body, her beautiful form exposed to the sunlight.

Looking at Herta, who was wearing Lolita attire, Firefly's eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, her lips slightly parted.

"What time is it?"

"It's already 8:30 in the morning," Herta replied calmly. She then turned, found an outfit from Firefly's closet, and threw it on the bedside before leaving without looking back.

Watching Herta's actions, Firefly opened her cherry lips but said nothing more.

Even though this puppet is so capable, she really can't be a little gentler! It must be Herta's programmed personality, set according to her own character.

After changing, Firefly went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she finished and came out, she found that Nene Arakawa had almost finished her preparations.

"So early?"

"It still takes time to get to Shibuya, so we need to start now."

Nene Arakawa tidied her live-streaming equipment and replied to Firefly.

Today, she was dressed more cutely, wearing a pure white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing her slender neck and making her appear even more petite and adorable.

Her hair was meticulously styled, falling slightly over her shoulders. Her makeup was clear and natural, as if there were no deliberate traces of modification.

A light blush graced her cheeks, like the rising sun, adding a touch of rosy color to her face. Her lips were painted with a light pink lipstick, both fresh and cute.

Chapter 56: A Normal Girl Who Loves Adventure

Shibuya.

As Tokyo's bustling commercial district, it has always been known for its youth and fashion culture.

The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is one of the busiest intersections in the world, with tens of thousands of people passing through it daily.

Here, one can easily feel Tokyo's unique urban atmosphere and fast-paced lifestyle.

At this moment, Firefly and Herta stood there, watching Nene Arakawa start her live stream with her equipment.

Originally, Firefly hadn't planned to bring Herta along. After all, although Herta Puppet looked just like a human, the joints were still noticeable.

However, Nene Arakawa insisted on bringing Herta, covering the joints with bandages and wristbands.

She also said that Herta was so cute, many people would surely like her.

Moreover, she wanted to dress Herta up.

It would be a shame not to dress up such a large, cute puppet.

"Hello everyone, long time no see. I'm Nene Arakawa, and as you requested, I'm live-streaming today."

As soon as she started the stream, a large number of fans gradually appeared, prompting Nene Arakawa to quickly greet everyone.

Although she was live-streaming on the street, most people around were accustomed to it. In Shibuya, there were no shortage of influencers and celebrities from all over the world.

[Nene-chan, you finally started streaming! I thought I'd never see you again.]

[Nene is so cute today! And is this the Shibuya Scramble Crossing?]

[Shibuya Scramble Crossing? I'm nearby ahhhh!]

[Wait for me, I'm coming to find Nene-chan right away.]

"Ah? Everyone, please don't do that."

"We're at the Scramble Crossing now, but we'll be leaving soon."

Noticing the fans were coming to find her, Nene Arakawa quickly explained in a panic. They couldn't stay here any longer.

They needed to finish the planned livestream before the bodyguards found them.

[What are you streaming today, Nene-chan? Are you running away from home again!]

These weren't fans who paid close attention, but Nene Arakawa still answered seriously.

"The 'Running Away From Home Grand Operation' series is over, but there might be an Easter egg today."

She thought about the bodyguards possibly finding her, which would definitely mean another chase. But it wouldn't be a livestream of her running away, so it could only be considered an Easter egg.

"Today's main plan is to watch a fashion show. Oh, right, let me introduce you to my friend."

"She's a super beautiful girl, you'll definitely love her."

As she spoke, Nene Arakawa looked towards Firefly, who was standing beside her.

"Firefly-chan."

"Um... maybe we should just skip it..."

Hearing Nene Arakawa call her, Firefly seemed a bit socially anxious.

She didn't feel this way inside Sam, but as just Firefly now, appearing in front of so many people was indeed a bit much.

"How can we do that? Don't be scared! Firefly-chan, you're so cute."

Nene Arakawa didn't give Firefly a chance to refuse and directly pulled her in front of the camera.

The moment Firefly appeared in the livestream, more than half of the scrolling comments instantly disappeared. It wasn't because they were scared, but because they were stunned.

Firefly seemed to have leaped out of an exquisite manga, radiating a dreamlike aura.

Her eyes were bright, as if holding stars and the sea, shimmering with captivating light. Her long eyelashes added a touch of cuteness to her bright eyes.

Her skin was as fair as snow, so delicate that pores were almost invisible.

A faint blush on her cheeks made her face more lively and adorable. Her small nose and cherry lips combined to form a flawless face.

Her appearance and demeanor were captivating, and her presence seemed to bring a touch of dreamlike color to the real world.

"Um, hello everyone, I... my name is Firefly, and I'm... just an ordinary girl who likes to go on adventures."

Facing the camera, Firefly placed a hand on her chest and greeted them a little uncomfortably as she introduced herself.

[!!!]

[Ahhh, she's so cute! I love her!]

[Kawaii!]

[Cute, want to...]

[First time seeing her, so cute, marry her!]

[Huh! Isn't this my wife? Wife, why are you with Nene-chan?]

[Wake up, this is clearly my wife!]

[Firefly-chan, I like going on adventures too!!]

[Everyone, I really like this kind of girl!]

[So, how do you chase a girl like Firefly-chan?]

When Firefly first appeared, the comments paused and decreased significantly. Once people reacted, the chat instantly erupted.

The number of comments more than tripled, and the livestream channel even lagged.

All of them were expressing their affection for Firefly!

Who wouldn't like such an anime-like beautiful girl who seemed to have walked out of a manga? In real life, people might feel shy and inadequate!

But online, people felt free to express their inner thoughts.

"Huh?"

Noticing some of the comments, Firefly didn't know what to say.

Nene Arakawa noticed the situation and immediately moved the camera away from Firefly.

"You guys are too enthusiastic! You scared Firefly-chan!"

"I know you all like Firefly-chan, and there will be many more opportunities. Today, I'll be livestreaming with Firefly-chan."

As she spoke, Nene Arakawa, along with Firefly and Herta, headed towards their destination. The fashion show was still some time away, but they could enter early.

Without the camera on her, Firefly breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the busy street, the three beautiful girls walked slowly.

Compared to Nene Arakawa, who was chattering and interacting with her fans, Firefly curiously observed her surroundings.

Shibuya was filled with shopping malls, department stores, restaurants, and cafes everywhere, with many young people shopping.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Nene Arakawa led them to an entrance that was clearly not the main one. This must be the venue for the fashion show.

They entered through the back door without needing tickets.

The fashion show hadn't started yet, so Nene Arakawa, holding her live-streaming equipment, walked to a good spot in the front.

"Are we allowed to stream here?"

Looking around, Firefly curiously asked Nene Arakawa.

She hadn't seen anyone else live-streaming.

"They weren't supposed to allow it at first, but then the people here said it was okay," Nene Arakawa replied without thinking much of it.

"..."

It's probably because of Nene Arakawa's identity, Firefly guessed.

She felt like the Arakawa family already knew she was here and wondered when they would come to take her away.

"Who cares about all that? The show's about to start."

"Firefly-chan, you can take a look too. If there's anything you like, you can ask someone to customize it for you."

Noticing the changes in the venue, Nene Arakawa quickly said.

Chapter 57: Kōsei Arakawa's Investigation

In the Arakawa Group's president's office, Kōsei Arakawa watched his daughter's live stream. Beside him was a screenshot of Firefly appearing on screen.

Tapping his fingers thoughtfully, he looked at the man wearing sunglasses in front of him and asked, "Is this the girl who's living with Nene?"

"She should be," the man immediately replied, lowering his head.
