Chapter 290 – Let's go to the Polynesian Dungeon!

“Nо gооd!”

“Guеss it’s a no-go аftеr all.”

Sincе Mashirо sаid nо, thе rеlоcatiоn plan is оff!

Сomе tо think оf it, strеаming would gеt tough with thе time differеnсе, аnd if it’s just us, we wouldn’t bе ablе to rack uр сoncurrent viewеrs оr Dungeon counts…

Advеnturе Streamers are bеings whо cleаr Dungeоns, but thеу’rе also beings who сan’t makе а living withоut Dungeons.

Аnd оvеr here, thе sheer аmount of entertаinmеnt would prоbаbly bе less…

“Thеre are vаrious рrоblems, desu.”

As Bidi told mе, this cоuntrу hаs its own sоcial issuеs, likе еconоmic сirсumstаnсеs wherе thеу cаn’t gеt by without relying on foreign countries, or struggling with national identity due to a long history as a colony.

Even if it looks like paradise when you visit, the locals have their own hardships, huh.

Spice couldn’t help but groan.

“Well then, to get to know this country better tomorrow, let’s try going to a Polynesian Dungeon!”

‘Oh! Ira agrees too. Gotta experience the local vibe, after all. What about the other members?’

‘Me doesn’t do battles and stuff, so Me’ll pass.’

Kushi, the Cardinal Sin of Lust who dislikes conflict!

She seems content with her current state of having lewd chats and playing games with Listeners.

‘Uncle can feel the changing times, naa.’

Little Ira murmured nostalgically.

In the end, Bidi offered to guide us, and it was decided that Spice and Little Ira would do the stream.

Windy’s a civilian, so she’s not interested in Dungeon Streams themselves, huh.

Mr. Watch seems to be doing some interviews and stuff.

What about Bel-chan?

‘Ah, I’m technically a Corporate Streamer, so I can’t do that sort of thing without contacting the company.’

“Even though you’re the Demon King, you’re really compliance-conscious, huh. Hazuki-chan was so free-spirited.”

And so, after enjoying a Polynesian dinner and a fun night, we slept soundly.

At night, the Grimoires take care of the baby, which is really convenient.

When I woke up, Mashiro’s leg, splayed out in a starfish position, was on my head!

What a sleeping posture.

Even after becoming a mother, you’re way too energetic, Mashiro.

Breakfast in the room was, how should I put it, very Hawaiian!

Isn’t this loco moco?

Oh right, Polynesia includes Hawaii and such in its cultural sphere, huh.

We ate heartily and had some Tongan coffee.

Delish.

Mashiro woke up midway and started eating heartily.

Being able to eat right after waking up is a talent.

“Mr. Shogo, are you streaming today, desu?”

“Ah, yeah. Mashiro, you can hang out with everyone, y’know.”

“That’s good, desu nee. Actually, I wanted to do some shopping and look for souvenirs, desu.”

“Sounds good. Let’s get souvenirs for everyone back home.”

Having that conversation, we decided today’s Grimoire role assignments.

‘Let’s keep it simple today! Mentaris and I will be in charge of Master, and Ignite, Marinna, and Karafuri will take care of the baby!’

‘Mm, roger that!’

‘Leave it to us, yo.’

‘We’ll provide support, zansu yo! So, the Mistress can go out too, zansu~’

“Really!? Is that okay!?”

The Grimoires are the kind who give Mashiro plenty of free time, too.

The kind you’d want one per household.

It seems Mashiro decided to enjoy shopping with Kushi and Beelzebub in the end.

One human between two Cardinal Sins!

Heading to the lobby, Little Ira was standing there as an uncle-looking guy in something like an aloha shirt.

A vividly colored aloha shirt and shorts.

The hands and feet peeking out were clearly a non-human red, and his face looked like it was wrapped in bandages.

Hmm!

Once again, not human!

‘Woo-hoi! Morning! Well then, once Bidi comes, let’s go, aa!’

“Okay! Since we have the chance, should we have them make a bento to eat on-site?”

‘Sounds good! Oh, is the bento hamburgers? Even though it’s French territory, it’s American, huh.’

“Polynesia seems to struggle with national identity and stuff, apparently.”

‘Hooon, when the colonial period is long, you end up steeped in the suzerain state’s culture. Can’t be helped, huh.’

“But Little Ira likes hamburgers, right?”

‘Love ’em! Gotta try the local burger for sure.’

So, we had them make hamburgers with avocado and fried eggs as our bento, and we’ll carry these with us.

Bidi, who’s picking us up, is here too.

It’s a bicycle!

Today, Bidi, wearing a cool-looking blue shirt, will guide us.

“In this country, there aren’t that many Streamers, so Dungeons are often left for about three days before being cleared, no.”

“I see. So, not too powerful ones show up, I guess?”

“Compared to foreign ones, maybe. Dungeons are scary, desu kedo, if you don’t go near them, not much bad happens. But when a place you know becomes a Dungeon, it gets really inconvenient.”

“Yeah, true.”

‘The Streamer problem depends on the cultural sphere too, nee. If you increase them too much, they end up competing for concurrent viewers and struggling pointlessly.’

Spice and Little Ira, already transformed, fly alongside Bidi, who’s riding her bicycle!

Flight Magic makes speed adjustment easy, after all.

Little Ira is flying with his own wings.

“Little Ira, so you really get faster when you’re smaller?”

‘Oh, that’s right! ‘Cause you get way lighter, naa. Ira’s original mass gets packed into storage, leaving just the Ira-body, so the weight becomes about 1/10, maybe. Speed doubles too, zo. Plus, it’s energy-saving, so you don’t get hungry as easily. Power decreases way more than by half, though, naa.’

Little Ira in stream mode is energy-saving mode!

Well, plus, if he’s in a little girl’s form, he’s less likely to be suspicious, and it’s the closest to human, after all.

If he strutted around town in his Satan form, of course he’d be suspicious.

He’s properly mindful about that sort of thing.

“We’ve arrived, desu!”

Bidi screeched her bicycle to a halt.

The place was closed off, with a police officer standing there.

He seemed to have been notified, as he looked up at Spice and the others floating in the air, surprised, then saluted.

In the distance, you can see Western-style houses, huh.

Looks fairly old.

This is probably an old house used during colonial times, I’d say!

Alright, time to try conquering a Dungeon in the southern seas…

Little Bidi, don’t you want to give it a try too?
