Chapter 223 – New Residents Arrive

Арril аrrived, and Кirаbоshi Наzuki releasеd hеr secоnd song, while thе nеw mеmbеrs оf Livе Dungeon wеre alsо rеcеiving grеаt асclаim.

Prеsident Cоrаl wаs аlso doing gаme strеams from homе еvery day.

Аs fоr dungeons?

Well, yestеrdаy, she challengеd а moderаtelу sizеd dungеоn alone and strеamed hеrsеlf inсinerating еvеrуthing inside from thе entranсe with Dragon Brеаth—a rathеr undеrwhelming strеam—so it sеemed she’d bе taking а brеak from dungeons for а while.

“Аh, dungеоns arе fleeting things.”

“Рrеsidеnt, you nеed tо hоld bасk оn the роwеr. Dragоns аre, after all, a transcendent species—human-sized dungeons are over in an instant.”

Incidentally, that underwhelming stream ended up creating quite a buzz.

It seemed to showcase the president’s true abilities, and her subscriber count quickly surpassed 100,000.

Apparently, many listeners from other species—including tsuchinoko—felt a strange sense of kinship with her inhuman aspects.

“Today’s stream is monetized. But… I have money, so it’s not like I really need to…”

“Well, you are a streamer, after all. It’s good to show gratitude to your listeners, President.”

“Is that so? You’re right… I’m really glad to have Spice nearby. If it were just me, I’d probably end up making some tone-deaf transcendent move…”

We were having this conversation in the president’s room.

In this apartment building, everything except the top floor where Spice and the Labyrinth Ministry are located has been hollowed out and turned into an otherworldly space for President Coral.

Just then, the doorbell rang from the first floor.

“Oh, it seems they’re here.”

The president rose from the sofa and fluttered her wings as she descended.

I also transformed into Spice and followed using Flight.

『I wonder who it is?』

“Maybe it’s that junior the president gets along with? Perhaps she came to visit.”

『A dragon playing with humans—what an era we live in!』

Flota seemed to be enjoying this situation.

When the door opened, there stood a petite woman.

She looked tense, but when she saw President Coral’s face, she seemed to relax.

Relieved to see a dragon’s face!?

She must be the newcomer to Live Dungeon who debuted around the same time as the president.

“Welcome, Kuon. Your room is prepared on the top floor.”

“I’m here, Coral! …Huh? Who’s this girl? …Eek! Little Black Pepper Spice!!”

“Nice to meet you!”

So, this was Throne Angel Little Kuon, an angel-type streamer.

She was a woman who seemed to blend elegance and cuteness, with hair extending about halfway down her back.

The luggage she brought was a slightly oversized Boston bag, which looked fairly heavy… but she was carrying it effortlessly.

Maybe she’s the strong type.

I think she mentioned in her first stream that she had grip strength comparable to a chimpanzee!

300 kg, huh!

“Does Little Spice also live in Coral’s apartment building?”

“That’s right! Nice to meet you, Little Kuon! Originally, Spice lived here, but the owner changed to President Coral.”

“Eek, no way!”

“My, for Kuon, who seems like the shy type, to talk this much…”

As Spice, drawing words out of reserved people is part of the skill set as a streamer.

Spice went to see Little Kuon being shown to her room.

Using the elevator to reach the top floor.

All the buttons for the other floors had been removed.

“I-Isn’t this kind of eerie?”

“Just looking at this, it seems like a haunted apartment building, right? It actually was a haunted building, but the president moved in and hollowed out all the other floors to turn them into her room.”

“Ah, I see.”

It seemed Little Kuon knew about the president’s true identity.

She accepted it without question.

Upon arriving at the top floor, Shino happened to be coming out of the adjacent room, which was the Labyrinth Ministry office.

He was in his office worker attire, but when he noticed Spice and the president, he transformed with a doron sound into his usual fox little girl form.

“Oh my, President, this is unusual. What brings you here? Oh, a new resident?”

“A-Ah, n-n-nice to meet you.”

Wow, Little Kuon is nervous!!

“Little Kuon, this is Ms. Shino, a contractor for the Labyrinth Ministry. An Onmyoji. If anything comes up, feel free to consult her—she’s our neighbor.”

“Ah, yes! N-n-nice to meet you~”

Her voice became as faint as a mosquito’s!

Anyway, this apartment building only houses people in the same line of work.

You could say it’s perfect for streamers.

The room Little Kuon would be moving into had soundproofing work done and seemed tailored for streamers.

Good, good.

“Spice is here too, so feel free to consult him! As a senior streamer, I’ll be happy to help! Just, when you come, please contact me using this Zakko… You see, Spice’s true self is an old man inside.”

“Y-yes.”

Little Kuon seems to be the shy type unless she’s wearing her streamer Shell, so I was worried she might faint from shock if she suddenly saw the old man Spice…!!

And so, a new resident was added to the apartment building.

…Or so I thought, but that evening, about three young women came over noisily and headed straight to Little Kuon’s room.

And then President Coral showed up too.

A housewarming party with the five juniors!!

Pizza delivery and Uber Eats kept arriving one after another!

It seemed life in this apartment building was about to get livelier.
