Chapter 75 – The ASMR Practice Stream Begins

Sеrаph Batrа’s sсhedule оpenеd uр.

I аdjustеd mу рlans aсcordinglу, аnd that’s hоw this соllаb strеam сamе to be.

Тhоugh, tо bе honest, it’s just thаt she’s busу—I’m the one with аll thе free time.

While wаtсhing Mashiro’s stream оf hеr dashing through a Dungeon with LАRF, I wаs leisurelу making mу рrерarations.

Flying Нead Sрirit Мiсrophоnе—сheck.

Grimоire storаge bag—cheсk.

‘Wе’ll be flying nеаrby аfter transfоrming, you know?’

‘Мm, it’s to саrry us to the site! And dоn’t forgеt this!’

Тhеre wаs a time whеn I соuldn’t enter Ignitе Mоdе withоut Fusiоn, but оncе I gоt usеd to it, stауing separated worked just fine.

“Oh, right, right! The sponge bullets for Fireball and the tube for Torch! Having various tools makes it easier to visualize and use Magic, huh.”

‘Even though it’s called Magic, it’s ultimately just one technique among many! It just relies more on talent than ordinary skills!’

Yeah, it really depends a lot on that talent.

And so, the day of the collab arrived.

We’d been hinting at it for about three days, and today Batra’s promotional tweet went out.

‘Mystery Guest Appears! Seraph Batra’s Dungeon ASMR Workshop!’

It was already generating buzz.

Apparently, she’s been promoting ASMR to Streamers in the industry like this.

And for Streamers who start doing ASMR activities or release voice content, she even writes paid scripts…!

Well then, time to head to the site.

Today’s outfit is casual.

Since I’ll be using it for work, it’s okay if it gets dirty.

It’s different from last time.

There’s probably no chance of running into Mashiro, and since she understands my relationship with Batra, she shouldn’t get any weird ideas.

I take the train to the station nearest the site.

Cities with well-developed railway networks are really convenient in this way.

From there, I transfer to a bus.

After a short ride, the destination comes into view.

It’s a place like an old, rundown town factory.

As I get off, Batra pops out from somewhere she was hiding.

“I’ve been waiting~”

“Ah, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I arrived early and was checking inside. See, the entrance is sealed, right? The Labyrinth Ministry applied a magical seal when it Dungeonized. It’s set so only Streamers with a certain number of Concurrent Viewers can break it, but unfortunately, the site is a bit large… It seems dogs have been getting in through gaps in the seal.”

“Ah, was that dog rescued? That’s good! Then we should clear it quickly to prevent any such dangers, right?”

“That’s right. Let’s do our best!”

“Yes, understood! I’m looking forward to working with you today.”

“Likewise. Help spread ASMR!”

Work mode is over.

This is clearly a town factory Dungeon with few people around.

The entrance to this structure apparently has a people-repelling Barrier and a seal to prevent ordinary people from entering.

So we can transform without worry.

“Metamorphose Spice!”

As I declare it, a spiral of black and white light envelops my body, transforming me into Black Pepper Spice.

In response, Batra also declares, “Virtualize!”

She becomes Streamer, Seraph Batra.

She gives the impression of a former Magical Girl big sister with a somewhat sexy outfit primarily in purple and pink.

She usually acts more like a proper, cute young lady, but during streams, her speech becomes more big sister-like.

“Greetings from the heavens. It’ll be good evening soon, my disciples~”

The stream has started.

Today, Batra’s Channel is the main one.

Spice is a guest participant.

Note: Seraph Batra has the setting of an Angel descended from the heavens, and her fan name is “disciples.”

Also, Batra publicly states she’s a Buddhist during her streams, making her a Buddhist Seraph—a bizarrely complex attribute…

※ ‘Evening, disciples~!’ ‘Lady Batcho has graced us!’ ‘Batcho is cute today too, hallelujah hallelujah’ ‘Lady Batcho Namandabu Namandabu’

“The Comment Section is chaos~”

※ ‘A cute voice came from off-screen!!’ ‘We know this voice!!’

“Now, now~! Quiet until I call for you. Okay? Please.”

Sexy Voice!

Spice zips his lips.

While doing so, Spice’s Twin Tails peek out swaying at the edge of the screen.

※ ‘He’s there lol!’ ‘Someone’s clearly there lol!’

“Hmm~? I can’t hear a voice, so maybe no one’s there~? Just kidding. Well then, let me introduce everyone. Today’s guest is… believe it or not, a Magical Girl has joined us. May I have you introduce yourself?”

“Yeees! Heeey theere!! ‘Sup! Is it almost good evening? I’m Black Pepper Spice!!”

※ ‘Whoa!!’ ‘It’s Little Spice!’ ‘I saw the Christmas collab!’ ‘Finally a one-on-one collab, huh’

Yeah, yeah, it’s been a long time since we connected back then.

It’s already been about half a year.

If you consider June summer, it’s already right around the corner.

Ah, I never imagined things would turn out like this at Christmas.

That my outer and inner moats would be filled and the enemy would reach the castle keep.

※ ‘Little Spice suddenly got a distant look!’ ‘He’s lost in thought about something’ ‘Even little girls have their worries, huh’

“Little Spice! Save the deep conversations for inside the Dungeon. Did you bring that thing properly?”

“Ah, yeees! Of course! Ta-daa! Flying Head Spirit Microphone~!!”

The Flying Head Spirit Microphone I take out of my bag floats up gently.

Seeing it actually fly would be horror for someone who doesn’t know.

‘I will control the movement.’

“Floppy, please.”

‘Understood. Rest assured, Master, Floppy is perfect.’

“Little Spice’s A-Phone really talks!! Mine’s official but doesn’t have that function. Even with AI voice, it’s more like business-like responses.”

※ ‘It’s cute, isn’t it’ ‘I wonder if Jane Doe can develop it’ ‘Jane Doe is, by setting, an agency that gathers non-humans who have descended to earth, an organization of nobodies… Software development isn’t their specialty’

There are some knowledgeable people in the Comment Section!

Big Agencies have all sorts of fans.

Well then, it’s time to charge into the Dungeon!

Batra and Spice place their hands on the Barrier…

“Hyah!”

“Oryaa!”

And tear through it with a bzzt!!

Physical!

The supposedly sturdy Barrier tore and vanished!

This is the power of Concurrent Viewers.

From here on, we need to clear the Dungeon while streaming.

Ah, if we can’t clear it completely, we can call the Labyrinth Ministry and they’ll come reseal it.

“Well then, teacher! ASMR practice, please take care of meee!”

“Leave it to me. I’ll make Little Spice into a first-class ASMR artist who can captivate the minds of all who hear him!!”

Reassuring.
