Chapter 15 – Account Frozen!? Let’s Change Our Base!
Chapter 15 – Account Frozen!? Let's Change Our Base!
Still buzzing frоm yesterdау’s debut streаm’s exсitеmеnt.
А mаssivе pieсe of bаd nеws assаultеd mе thе mоment I wоke uр.
“Whaaаt?! Му Аwatube аcсount is frozen?!”
‘Аhh, Мaster, this is becаusе your panties wеrе too visible.’
The inсidеnt ocсurred аnd its саusе was identified in an instаnt.
I see. Sо Аwаtube doеsn’t likе it whеn a girl’s pаnties arе visible.
No wonder аll thоse streаmеrs weаr things like spаts.
“Well, I’ve leаrned sоmеthing… Fortunately, therе’s a соmmunitу making а fuss about ‘Вlасk Peрpеr Sрiсе is frоzen!’, sо I’d likе tо guide thеm tо a new frontier and start over…”
‘Indeed! Let’s have a meeting!’
I put ham and cheese on my breakfast toast and added milk to my lightly sweetened iced coffee.
It’s a cheerful breakfast.
Awatube tripped right at the starting line!
But apparently, they have a system where pardons are issued after a few months, so I’ll wait for the freeze to be lifted while being active elsewhere.
“For the time being, I guess I’ll focus on Twippy and Necho-Necho Videos. I want to get monetized too. I can’t live otherwise.”
‘Yes, yes. And next time, let’s single-mindedly aim for a Metamorphose Fragment!’
“Why’s that?”
‘It’ll let you change and tune your outfits. Then you won’t run into trouble like this freeze again!’
“I see, that’s top priority!!”
I energetically finished my toast and drank up my iced coffee.
Thanks to my old office worker habits, I woke up at six in the morning, but my mood is bright.
Because, well, I don’t have a company anymore.
I am!
Free—!
Well, precisely because of that freedom, I must secure tomorrow’s sustenance with my own hands.
I’ve plunged into a harsh world.
‘By the way, Master, why are there separate video streaming services like Awatube and Twippy?’
“Ah, that’s because they have different corporate backers. Awatube is run by the world’s largest search service, Guguguul. Twippy is run by the world’s largest e-commerce company, Savannah.”
‘I see~. I was wondering why they weren’t consolidated, but it’s because different powers run them. Thanks to that, Master can survive.’
“That’s right. Even Witches in this day and age have to skillfully ride the systems of society.”
I check Twippy.
I need to study Twippy’s system all day today.
I’ll make the announcement about my fresh start on Twippy sometime today.
And, if possible, I want to explore the Dungeon tomorrow or the day after.
I need to get monetized as soon as possible.
While Flota and I were discussing future plans and how to search for Metamorphose Fragments…
A message came from Mashiro via the chat app, LUINE.
‘Waaah, Senpai~!! Little Spice got frozen all of a sudden~!!’
“She’s lamenting…”
‘But, but, I thought he was going to be my future emotional support! Mashiro can’t go on living like this~’
What a situation.
After ending the call, to protect my junior’s mental stability, I immediately decided to issue a statement as Black Pepper Spice.
‘Spice is making a fresh start on Twippy!! I’ll be careful not to get frozen this time!’
“Good!”
‘Master, you’ve really gotten the hang of Little Spice’s way of speaking, haven’t you~?’
“Yeah. When I’m streaming, I’m not Shogo, I’m Black Pepper Spice… Somehow, as I kept streaming, I felt my sense of self being gradually overwritten by Spice. It was both terrifying and pleasant…”
‘Maybe one day you won’t come back?’
“That would be a problem! …Well, if issues like the family register could be sorted out, maybe it wouldn’t be a problem…”
‘Right~?’
I feel like I’m being led along by this Grimoire…
Anyway, today is all about checking out Twippy.
I’ll just create the Black Pepper Spice account for now.
“Oh, right, filming, filming. Metamorphose Spice!”
A black and white spiral appears, enveloping me and transforming me.
Hellooo there! Black Pepper Spice has arrived!
“And with that, I angle the smartphone down to film Spice… Having the room in the shot is a bit…”
‘Shall we go outside to film?’
“Oh! Let’s do it, let’s do it!”
Ahh, this sense of liberation that comes when I become Spice!!
I grabbed just my wallet and smartphone and headed out.
The time is 7:30 AM.
My neighbor was leaving for work and was once again stunned to see me.
“Ah, hello, good morning!”
“G-good morning—”
He stared at Spice’s form for a moment, then tilted his head and went off to work.
Muttering things like, “Why is a girl coming from my neighbor’s place? Well, she’s cute, cute, but…”
It’s probably not good to stand out too much…
“Maybe I should save up money and move sooner rather than later.”
‘That might be best. The walls separating the rooms are thin too!’
Even if I bought a soundproof room, I don’t have the space to put it.
‘Master, shall we walk? Or…’
“Let’s fly!”
And so it was decided.
If you go right from the apartment door, there’s an open space in the sky.
This is related to my apartment building’s structure.
There are five rooms on the first floor, but one room is missing from my floor, leaving an empty space.
That’s where they put the water tank and other things.
Here, I chanted a spell.
“Rise up, Levitation!”
I float up gently!
I recently noticed that whether I flutter kick, do the breaststroke, or just wiggle my feet a little, I seem to move at about the same speed.
Then it’s better to use less effort.
I wiggle my toes a bit and swim through the sky.
Wow, office workers are being sucked into the nearest station.
Until recently, I was among them.
Everyone, please work hard to maintain society.
We streamers will eliminate the Dungeons that threaten society and, as a bonus, deliver entertainment…!!
But first, I need to take a photo for my Twippy icon…
Unlike other streamers who use Avatars, I’m the one actually transforming, so I have it tough in various ways.
I landed in a park.
There were already parents with children, and they were very surprised to see me descend from the sky.
But since I’m the cute Little Spice, they seemed to let their guard down.
“So cute—!”
A little girl came running over.
“Hellooo, hi there—”
“Hello! Are you a magic person?”
“That’s right—. I’m Spice—. Please support me—”
“Cute—! I’ll support you—!”
I crouched down to meet the little girl’s eye level and gave her a high-five, saying, “Yay!”
As long as I’m not an old man, people aren’t wary!
Spice only brings good things…
The mother, guessing from my words that I might be a streamer, seemed to relax, thinking, “If she’s a young girl, it’s fine.”
As long as I’m not an old man, people aren’t wary!
And so, the account photo shoot concluded without incident.
The background is just ordinary trees, and Spice striking a cute pose there is super cute, yeah!
Since the little girl joined in, we took some combo poses together, and I sent those photos to the mother’s smartphone.
I didn’t tell her about my streaming channel!
Because I’d have to announce that the person inside is an old man…
Well then, farewell, little person!
Having finished filming, I took off into the sky!
“Bye-bye!! See you later, Little Spice—!!”
I gained a new fan.
