Chapter 19 – Behold the Spice Released from the Chain

At his feet, Dеmоns and Grudge Sрirits clashеd.

Тhеn, thе раrts making up thе Grudge Spirits—bеds аnd wheеlсhаirs—shаttеred аnd flew intо the air.

Sрiсе’s hаnds touchеd them, “Flоat them, Flotа! Аccelerаtе, Accel!” and hе slаmmed them all into the Dеmоns!

“Ughwaaаh!?”

Struck bу thе fiеrсe attack, thе Demons hаstilу flеd deeреr intо the roоm.

Then, thе movements of thе еlderly соuplе Grudge Spirits slоwed down.

Huh?

Сould this bе…?

※ ‘Тhe Demon was the Dungеon Воss!’ ‘If wе takе that guy оut!’ ‘Gо fоr it!!’ ‘Spats аre finе tоо in thеir оwn waу’

Аmоng the Реppers, there seems to be a higher age group that loves Sensitive content… I’ll call these guys the Meat Brigade.

Bunch that’d be inedible no matter how you boil or grill them without Spice!

Anyway!

Everything in the room becomes a weapon.

The replica of the famous painting hanging on the wall!

The dresser drawers!

The cane lying on the floor!

They’re all Spice’s bullets!

“That’s it, that’s it, that’s it—! Accelerate everything, go go go!!”

“With the Concurrent Viewer Power, Master’s strength is increasing—! That’s it—! Right there—! Get ’em—! Crush ’em—!”

“Ughwaaah!?”

“Flota’s getting pretty violent…”

But in reality, his attacks are steadily landing.

It feels more effective than against the Goblin Giant or the previous Grudge Spirits!

“It must be because Master is growing as a Witch! Not only have you obtained Fragments, but you’re also making the magic you currently have your own! Also, if your Metamorphose Fragment count is now 2, you should be able to change your own appearance into something completely different…”

“Something completely different…? For example… Metamorphose, Forklift!”

A black-and-white spiral shoots out from under his feet.

It envelops Spice…!

Whoa—!

The figure reflected in the room’s mirror is Spice wearing a forklift helmet-thingy!!

“Whooooa, here we go here we go here we go, it’s a forklift—! Accel, go—!”

Clad in the forklift helmet, he charges!

※ ‘It’s heeeeere, the forklift!’ ‘So that Magical Girl really was Little Spice after all!’ ‘Go—! The world’s cutest old man!!’

The passionate cheers fill him with power.

The Accel accelerates further.

The Demon tries to flee, but Spice is faster!

With the hardened fork at the front, he smashes right into the Demon!

“Ughwaaah!! Gyagyagyagyagya, Ughwaaaaaaah!!”

“Gwaah, I almost got whiplash from the impact!! No more charging myself! No more from now on!”

The damage on his side is pretty big too!

But well, right before his eyes, the Demon solidifies, turns into particles of light, and vanishes.

Left behind, tumbling down, is a palm-sized Dungeon Core.

“Oh… our forms have returned to normal…”

“Thank you, thank you…”

A voice came from behind.

Turning around, the two who were Grudge Spirits had returned to being the spirits of an old man and an old woman, and were peacefully passing on.

“Good work—! That’s great, really great.”

※ ‘Dungeons can end this peacefully?’ ‘Little Spice’s virtue—’ ‘A beautiful scene’ ‘It’s making me cry’ ‘I’ve thought for a while now, but Little Spice’s fighting style is really calculated’

There are some sharp Peppers…!

Well, he only has limited means of attack.

He always acts by thinking about what the maximum attack possible in his current environment is.

From now on, he should gather tools that look like they’d hurt if they hit… But they’d be bulky.

“Master, how long are you going to stay as a forklift?”

“Ah, do I have to undo this myself or I’ll stay like this forever!? Metamorphose Spice!”

He returned to normal.

Of course, still wearing the spats!

Perfect, isn’t it?

Also, he understood the Metamorphose usage better now.

It seems he can change his appearance entirely, like it’s all just a costume.

“Alright everyone, that’s the end of the stream—! The Dungeonization seems to have lifted too. But, it’s dangerous, so don’t go near the former Dungeon site! Okay then—see you later—!”

Waving towards his A-Phone, a wave of replies came from the comments too.

Twippy… seems to have a pretty high-quality user base…

No, but towards the latter half, the usual Awatube-like Listeners, the Meat Brigade, were gathering…

From now on, he’ll have to distinguish between using the Peppers and the Meat Brigade…

The Sensitive faction is the Meat Brigade!

When he went outside, a trendy-looking man and woman were waiting.

“We saw the stream—! It was super awesome!!” “Seriously, we’re rooting for you, so do your best!” “Ah, how about grabbing some food later or something!” “Whoa, you’re hitting on Little Spice!?” “He’s an old man, you know—” “If he’s this cute, even an old man is fine!!” “Their eyes are serious…”

They’re not bad kids once you understand them.

The stream over, now calm, me.

“Thanks for the support—! Spice is pretty tired, so I’m gonna head home, take a bath, and sleep—! The Archive will be up, so leave your thoughts and stuff!”

Having said that, he decided to part ways.

As he boarded the train, they asked something like,

“Aren’t you coming back to Awatube!?”

“If I get a pardon and the suspension is lifted…!! Then I’ll redo my First Stream on Awatube…!”

“Aren’t you gonna stream Necho-Necho Videos!?”

“Ah—, I haven’t touched that side at all…”

It’s better to have multiple means of monetization prepared.

Anyway, he needs to speed up monetization and turn it into money.

“Alright then, I’ll start on that side right away—! Thanks—!”

And so.

From here on out, it’s not rest, but the start of activities aimed at securing income.

‘I’ll handle the Necho-Necho Video-related stuff, Master, you had another subscription service, right? Please take care of that one.’

“Flota, you’ve become quite knowledgeable… Alright, let’s set up the Fan Box. The plan is, uh…”

“I heard on some stream that it’s better to avoid low-price plans!”

“Aren’t you more knowledgeable about the net than I am…?”

Fortunately, the train is mostly empty.

Thus began the strategy meeting between me and Flota.
