Chapter 175 – Today is a Day Off

“Alright, sincе lаst mоnth wаs sо packеd I fеlt like I was rushing thrоugh life, I think I’ll takе it еаsу this Fеbruаry.”

Mу declаrаtion wаs mеt with а сlаmorоus reаction frоm thе Grimоirеs.

“Eeеh?! Humаn lives are shоrt, sо you should keер pushing forward! Or arе уou planning to makе Sрice уour mаin bоdу, Мaster?!”

“Hmm, I think it’s fine. Еven a firе will just kееp cоnsuming firеwоod and fuеl if you kеep it burning.”

“Ya sure ‘bоut this? I think gоin’ at yоur оwn pаce is gоod, ya knоw?”

“I think we still nееd more activity tо sprеаd аwarеness of thе осean’s grеatnеss~. Аftеr аll, уour fоllоwеrs by thе sеa are finally increasing~”

Flota and Marinna were the proactive camp.

Ignite and Mentaris were the take-it-easy camp, huh.

Neatly divided.

“Alright then, let’s have a showdown with this Super Okno Kart between Team Flo-Mari and Team Ig-Men. The winning side gets to set the schedule, sound good?”

“Excellent!! My skills are itching for this!!”

“Hmm, I’ll show you my driving technique!!”

“Ya sure ’bout this? I’ll be readin’ minds while drivin’.”

“Is there an ocean stage? Let’s pick a stage with water!”

The Grimoires floated their controllers with a puka sound and made a ruckus.

They can actually play games normally!

To be honest, during my free time or when I’m doing a solo game stream, I sometimes let the Grimoires play and have matches against each other.

In terms of gaming skill, Marinna is probably the worst, and Flota might be the best.

Meaning the balance is fair!

Oh, the race has started.

The Grimoires’ roars echoed through the room.

“Whoa! I thought it was noisy when I came out of the shower.”

Mashiro sounded exasperated.

Well, colorful Grimoires were lined up on the floor, operating controllers with something like telekinesis.

And on the split-screen, their cars were racing away.

Wow, Mentaris is spinning around because of Flota’s interference.

“Agyahhh!”

“Ahaha! You can just keep spinning there!”

“Damn you, Flotaaa!”

“Wahahaha!”

“Senpai, you’re like an ancient Roman watching his slaves fight.”

“What a terrible thing to say. The Grimoires need to let off steam like this sometimes too. If they just stay cooped up inside doing nothing but Magic Arts, they’ll all go crazy.”

“Hahaa, judging from the streams, the reason you and Ms. Windy are still sane is because you’re extroverts…”

“I do think being out in the sunlight helps.”

And also because they’re building human relationships.

“That got me thinking—it seems the Witches have their own various circumstances too. Or rather, without me knowing, Windy had been replaced and turned into a completely unrelated college girl with no connection to the grudge.”

“It’s a shocking truth, isn’t it? For me, she’s such a formidable rival that I’d prefer you two not be alone together…”

Oh, does Mashiro have the vibe of being dumped in college by her then-boyfriend for being “too heavy”?

I’ve always had extremely little interest in romantic matters, and after becoming Spice, I lost all interest…!

“So anyway. I want to try reaching out to the other Witches myself and see if they’re still motivated.”

“So you’re finally making the first move?”

“Seems like it. As for their locations, Flota should know a bit…”

“Ugaaaaaah! You’re all ganging up on meeeee?! Whyyyyy?!”

Oh, she’s screaming, screaming.

She was running away alone in first place, so they’re thoroughly interfering with her.

Winning too much isn’t good.

Looks like it’ll be impossible to talk to Flota for a while.

“I’m thinking of reaching out to the Grimoire of Colors or the Grimoire of Power overseas myself.”

“I see—so you’re going to carry out forgiveness, Senpai…”

“No, I’m going to defeat the Witches.”

“Huh?!”

“But well, if they’re like Windy, I won’t defeat them. It really depends on the person. So, I might be going on an overseas expedition for a while…”

“A-a solo assignment?!”

“Sorry…”

“Well, I’m the wife of a Streamer, so I’m prepared for it.”

“So, this month, I’ll try to be with Mashiro as much as possible.”

“Really?! I see, in that case, I forgive you!”

She went from looking a little anxious to cheering up immediately!

Note: While I’m on my overseas business trip, which I think will be about two weeks… I’ll have Mashiro stay at her parents’ house.

But that’s for March.

“This month, we’re taking it easy~”

I posted a message to that effect on Tsubuyakix as well.

“Little Spice is recharging a bit! I’ll be doing a big project next month, so look forward to it~”

The Meat Brigade’s reactions were mostly positive.

“Sounds good!” “Take it easy, Little Spice~” “Now that you mention it, you’ve been doing big events non-stop since the end of last year.” “Little Spice, you have a big event every quarter…”

Now that they mention it, it’s true!!

No wonder I’m tired.

Well, thanks to the benefits of becoming Spice, I’m full of energy… but still.

“Take thiiiiis! With thiiis! I’m! Taking the leeead! Bruaaaaah!”

“Ugwahhh! N-no way! To think I’d lose to Ignite?!”

Oh, Ignite won by one point.

Flota flopped down on the spot.

Looks like February has been decided as the take-it-easy period.
