Chapter 65 – Invitation to Case Distribution

Nоw, how to rеvеаl mу truе identity to Маshiro and bring hеr to our sidе…

Fоr hеr оwn sаfеty, it’s absоlutely bеttеr to mаkе hеr аn аlly.

I dоn’t intend tо dismiss what she triеd tо dо just bеcausе it’s dangеrous—in fact, I’vе сome to think that shе shоuld go ahead and dо it tо her heart’s contеnt, sо she cаn feеl sаtisfiеd.

‘Fоr a stable marriеd life, isn’t it goоd tо lеt off somе stеаm!’

“Flota, уou’re jumрing the gun again…!”

Aftеr thаt collаb, thе subscribеr count fоr Mashiro—Кounо Shirоko’s channel—had inсreаsеd.

It lоokеd like it might evеn rеаch 1,000.

Thаt’s prеttу аmаzing.

Аnd as fоr mе…

“А spоnsоred deal from LARF has come in…! This is a globally major toy manufacturer. Is this okay…!?”

It was a sponsored deal from the Japanese branch of the toy company Buzz Blow.

Could it be they think Spice is a little kid…?

Inside, I’m an old man, you know?

No, they must understand.

I should consult someone reliable about this…

That’s right, Charaway!

‘Wey! That’s awesome, a sponsored deal! You should absolutely take it.’

“I thought so…? But I’m a Magical Girl, you know… Wouldn’t it be weird for me to do LARF and all that?”

‘Isn’t it fine? In your last stream, you were more mobile than I expected, right? I didn’t know Little Spice could move like that.’

“That body is strangely agile… Also, since my partner can’t use Magic, I tried to adjust for her.”

‘Ah, that girl, the one who came for yakiniku the other day. Yeah, she’s the clumsy type, isn’t she? But it’s not that she lacks talent. Her straight-line movement is excellent, right?’

“True. I heard she was in the track and field club before…”

‘Can you connect Zakko now? I’ll explain with a diagram.’

“That’s a huge help~”

Moving to the PC, we communicated via Zatcode and a drawing chat using the microphone.

‘So, basically, even for straight-line movement types, it’s not necessarily just straight lines—like this, and this.’

“Ah-ha, zigzagging through cover at the shortest distance!”

‘Exactly! It’s like a series of sprints. I’m not the type who can use special fighting styles either, so I always use my head to compensate for that.’

“Well, if you’re too skilled, your thinking tends to go in that direction and your perspective narrows. Ah, I see! This is easy to understand. Thanks!”

‘No problem! For this favor, just invite me to something good next time, like a tasty sponsored deal or a collab.’

“Definitely!”

And with that, the call ended.

It’s good to have a close senior streamer you can rely on.

It’s precisely because Charaway has rich experience that he came up with that idea.

I immediately contacted the company and requested that Mashiro be allowed to participate, with the payment for the sponsored deal being the same total amount offered for the two of us.

They agreed right away.

The person in charge of the sponsored deal understood that she was the streamer who fought with LARF alongside me.

‘It’s easier to have a beginner slot as well. We’ll leave the streaming method to you. Our staff will come over, so let’s discuss how to do the tutorial.’

“Thank you!!”

It seems someone from Buzz Blow will be coming too.

This is welcome news.

I should contact Mashiro right away… no, no, contact Shiroko via Zakko on the A-Phone.

‘Ehhh, a sponsored deal!?’

“That’s right! Little Shiroko, you were using LARF the other day, right? How about doing a sponsored deal with Spice to promote LARF? Spice pushed for you, you know. Establishing an image like ‘this streamer uses this weapon!’ is a secret to getting stronger.”

I’ve already used Metamorphose!

Hmm, in this form, thoughts like ‘how should I talk while being conscious of Mashiro…’ completely vanish from my mind!

The form changes even your personality.

“So, will you do it? Of course you will, right?”

‘I’ll do it!! Please let me do it!! Kuu—! Ever since I got involved with Ms. Spice, my luck has been turning around! I, who was nobody, feel like I can do something now!’

I see—so that’s what Mashiro was worried about.

She did seem to view me as somewhat special.

Well, actually, I really am special.

And so, the LARF sponsored deal began.

And, since it’s convenient, during this sponsored deal, Spice will reveal his true identity to Shiroko.

Well, let’s just keep it at the level of senior and junior for now.

The plan was set in motion.

The next day, I had a meeting with the person in charge of the sponsored deal from Buzz Blow.

I went to their location in the city, and the venue was a private room in a café.

The person in charge was a slim man.

I attended this meeting strictly in Spice’s form.

“We are fully aware that Ms. Spice’s original style involves Magic, but your recent stream using LARF became a huge topic. Are you aware that a video of that three-dimensional maneuvering while holding that LARF was uploaded on PickPock and is buzzing?”

“Eh, really!? I had no idea… Spice specializes in Tsubuyakix.”

“Right, I’m the same—us old folks are like that. Our marketing department discovered this and judged that Black Pepper Spice, who is highly popular among young fans, would be perfect for a LARF sponsored deal. We got approval from headquarters, so that’s why we’re making this request. We’d like you and Ms. Shiroko, the beginner, to clear the Dungeon while giving a tutorial.”

“Yes! Leave it to us! So, that Dungeon is…”

“There’s a Dungeon that just appeared the other day. You can use this one. It seems a multi-tenant building, after all tenants retreated, suddenly underwent Dungeonization… We contacted the Dun-me side and secured it for the sponsored deal.”

“So Dungeonization can happen even without human involvement, huh?”

“Yes, it seems so. With that, we look forward to a fresh stream fitting for the refreshing spring season.”

“Leave it to me!”

When Spice reached out his hand, the person in charge leaned forward and shook it.

Handshake, handshake.

Sorry about that, Spice is just a little one!

And so, the Dungeon clearing began, doubling as both the sponsored stream and the identity reveal event.
