Chapter 200 – Together with an Exorcist

Night gavе wау tо mоrning.

Though sharing а rоom with Windy, thеre was nо сhаnсе оf any… misundеrstandings betwееn a уоung mаn аnd wоman оf that аge.

During his staу in Grаz, Sрiсe had fiхed himsеlf in his Virtual Femalе Аvatar state!

Не had thoroughly instructеd Flоppy on this pоint, mаintaining a сonstаnt fеmаlе mode.

“Gooоod morning! It lооks сold outsidе!”

Whеn hе awokе, Windy—who hаd already gоttеn up—was сhеerfullу looking оut the window.

“It’s such а clаssiс scene, isn’t it? When yоu try tо соnsciоusly crеаtе this kind of atmоsphеrе, it еnds uр fеeling fоrсеd, so I’m а littlе envious, you know?”

“America is a relatively new country, after all.”

Even when you say “old,” it probably refers to things like the Wild West era.

Well then, we had breakfast delivered via room service.

A simple breakfast of crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside rolls, served with ham, cheese, butter, and tea.

“Freshly baked bread is so gooood!!”

“You look like an adult, but when you eat, you turn into Spice!”

“When I’m in Metamorphose, I’m basically Spice at the core. It’s just Spice performing as an adult.”

“Such a complex structure~!”

“I have to make sure I don’t become Spice in both body and mind during our stay…!!”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to turn back into a man once in a while?”

“Because, you see, the nature of my desires differs between my male and female forms.”

“Oh, even more complex!! I kind of want to try transforming into a man, too.”

Oh, Windy, are you interested? In that case, I have a simple Metamorphose Magic that Floppy copied for me the other day—want to try it? It’ll make you male right down to the shape of your desires, so it’s a whole new experience!

“I’ll pass—!”

Spice, who had experience as a man, decided to stop this!

And so, after finishing breakfast, he gave a tip to the bellboy who came to collect the tray.

He accepted it with a smile, so he’d probably provide good service again in the future.

Spice and the others were now heading out into the city.

“Austria is seven hours behind Japan, so I have to base my streaming schedule on that…”

“That’s tough! If I were streaming too, I might have had to worry about the time difference with Kansas. Hang in there, Spice!”

“I’ll do my best. I’m a pro, after all…!”

Today, they would be searching for streamers and Exorcists who had arrived locally.

The easiest would probably be finding an Exorcist, right?

You could also look for streamers on local social media, but they’re capricious and change locations quickly to avoid being pinpointed.

With Exorcists, you can contact something like the Exorcist Association they belong to and ask about today’s work.

The Exorcist Association and streamers are surprisingly on good terms!

Many people also work as both streamers and Exorcists.

For today…

Off to the workplace of the person they were introduced to!

Upon arrival, a tall man in a coat was waiting.

“I’m Gustav. I heard you’re a streamer from Japan. Pleased to meet you today.”

“Yes. I’m Spice. Pleased to meet you.”

“Um, I’m Windy, the assistant!”

Gustav Biltstein.

Age-wise, maybe a little older than Spice?

He seemed about 190 cm tall.

“We were just about to clear one of the Witch’s labyrinths. If we don’t crush these labyrinths day by day like this, they just keep increasing.”

“Yikes, the Witch of Colors is really troublesome, huh?”

When he uttered that name, Gustav shot him a sharp look.

“Shh. You must not speak that name carelessly. Speak the name, and it reaches the ears of calamity. She will come to the one who uttered it. Or perhaps, for a White Witch like you, that would be more welcome?”

“I’m glad you understand. Indeed, I have come to defeat her. A Witch understands a Witch’s methods best.”

“I see. That’s reassuring.”

During this exchange, Windy was mumbling as if she wanted to say something in the background.

She’s not a streamer, just an ordinary college student Witch—things would get complicated if she spoke up!

He’d explain after getting a bit more familiar with Gustav!

“So, today’s Dungeon is…”

“This apartment building.”

“Oh, it’s quite new!”

“We’re told not to construct buildings that clash with the scenery on the main streets. So, it’s on a back street… but for the past few years, the back streets of Graz have been the Witch’s domain. Even newly built apartments have few residents. Thus, a Witch set her sights on this structure and turned the entire building into a labyrinth.”

Gustav set down his bag.

Inside, it was packed tight with anti-Witch gear.

“Are these gloves with crosses on them like exorcism items?”

“Yes. In my youth, I was an Olympic training athlete.”

The Olympics!

One of the world’s most sublime events, where they used airplanes—which carried the risk of Dungeonization—to hold a sports festival at the risk of their lives… it was!

Heard it’s much safer now, but it must have been tough back when Gustav was active.

Gustav was apparently an Olympic judo athlete.

Now that he mentioned it… he might have seen him on TV.

“I retired from active competition because my wife was taken by a Dungeon. Alongside judo, I studied karate and became an Exorcist.”

Whoa, dramatic!

A man who became an Exorcist to avenge his wife!

It would be rude to think of it as content, but he was absolutely certain it would be a hit.

“Then let’s go. I look forward to seeing the power of a Japanese streamer.”

“Yes, of course!”

So, Spice was going to transform into a Magical Girl in front of this serious person, huh?
