Ch.26 Back to The Hotel and Taking a Break. Oh, Apparently My Next Stream is a Collab. With Ruru-san

After that.

When I asked, "So, what should we do?", They told me "it's fine to talk about what you heard here, about you becoming a girl ー a TS ー and about Fukaya-san's curse (real)."

Apparently, it's fine to talk about it as long as it's matching with what Ruru-san's listeners have been saying about her bad luck.

They also said, "It's going to be tough though, so the association and the government will provide various forms of help," so from now on they'll provide security behind the scenes.

There doesn't seem to be any particular restrictions on my activities.

That's good...well, I don't go out that much though.

So, about what I'm doing right now.

"Haru-san, you don't have to seiza, you know. Besides, this place is carpeted."

"No, I'm just doing it voluntarily so don't worry about it. Also, you can call me by my first name, Emi-san. I'm younger than you now, after all."

The moment I returned to my hotel room, I started doing seiza neatly.

A little girl doing seiza.

That is quite an impressive thing.

Someone once said that sincerity is shown through your actions.

So I apologize with this attitude for running away and streaming without permission.

But at this point, I should never say, "I'm sorry I ran away."

Why?

That's because...women have many landmines that make them angry, and when one of them explodes, they all exploded at once.

If one explodes, the anger will be so great that it will completely destroy the entire land, just like in a movie.

So even if I apologize here, unless they want the apology, it will be meaningless and a waste of time.

Otherwise you could end up stepping on someone's tail, and you might end up getting scolded for a lot of other things too.

Well, I've only recently met Emi-san and the others, so that probably won't happen, but...it's better to be safe than sorry, right?

"...Haru-chan? Emi-chan's not angry, you know."

"Oh, I guess Ruru-san can tell, huh"

"Yeah yeah. It's scary when she's about to be get angry thoughー."

She lives in Emi-san's house, and Emi-san is apparently older and caring... so maybe she's like a troublesome younger sister to her.

"Oh, by the way Haru-chan, can you call Chiho-chan 'Chiho-chan' too? Chiho-chan is quite a shy girl, afterall."

"... No, It's fine. Haru... Soya-san is a man after all..."

"But she's a little girl now, right?"

"... That's true, but..."

Chiho-chan?

Who is that?

... Ah, it's Kujima-san from the medical team.

I'm not good at remembering people's names though...

Well, I guess if it's juat 3 people, I could manage.

"...So, Soya-san."

"You can just call me Haru like before, Chiho-san."

"!!"

Chiho... Kujima-san suddenly turned away.

Eh?

She wouldn't say something like, "A strange adult man called me by my first name and it made me feel nauseous...how disgusting..." right?

Even I would be hurt if someone said that to me.

I would be more painful than surviving in a dungeon for a week.

"...Ahem, excuse me...So, Ha...ru-san."

"Yes?"

... I don't know what's on her mind, but Kujima-san's face and voice are as calm as ever.

So for now, let's just leave it at that as a social skill.

Let's play safe and call her "Kujima-san" like before.

"Haru-san and Fuka... Ruru-san's new residence has been decided. For your convenience, it is a tower apartment building very close to Mikazuki-san's home and the Agency."

"Hee~."

"Hohee~."

"...Haru-tan is so cute!"

They say that living in a tower apartment is a lot of hassle, but... It seems like there aren't many interactions with the neighbors here, and both Ruru-san and I have enough level to not have difficulties in going up and down the stairs, so it should be fine.

I've always wanted to live in a high-rise apartment building.

I wonder on what floor my room's going to be?

“As for the position you're in… you've attracted too much attention as streamers, and as we discussed earlier, you should avoid being seen as much as possible. If you plan on shopping, please inform the security staff.”

"Does that mean I can't go outside myself?"

"Ah, no, it's fine if you give us a notice beforehand... but yes, I think it would be best if Haru-san didn't go out with the two of them."

"Why?! Why can't we?!"

"I can endure it! I'll definitely hide it when we're out!"

"Well, you just showed yourself... in front of a senior official..."

"Guh."

At that time, everyone acted like they didn't ask any questions, but...it was definitely obvious that there was something strange about Mikazuki Emi-san.

"...Ruru-san and Emi-san. The two of them have been showing their faces on stream for a while now, and are now the most famous not just in Japan but all over the world."

"Famous... ehehe..."

"However, although they already know Haru-san's features, they don't know her face yet. So... while you are in that form, we will need to arrange for security when you go out, and we will also be thinking about making it easier for you to go out yourself."

"I see, if I'm together with Ruru-san and Emi-san , it will be obvious that I am "Haru"."

"Yes. If Haru-san doesn't mind people finding out who you're, then it'd be fine."

"No, I like to just wander around once every two days."

"...Haru-chan..."

"Haru-tan...afun."

"Please hold yourself together, Hentai-san."

Emi-san is getting closer to me while calling me "Haru-tan", so I gently kick her, but then she goes into ecstasy... Are you really fine with this...?

Ah, since you're a pervert, you'd be happy to be kicked by a little girl... Sorry, even though I'm a man, I can't understand how perverts feel...

"...Haru-san went out without permission today."

"I'm really sorry about that."

I'm back to doing seiza again.

"Oh, there's no need to apologize! ...The reason you did that was because we didn't listen to your wishes, Haru-san..."

I don't really get it, but apparently I won't get in trouble?

"From now on, if you let me know, I'll do my best to help you... so please."

"Yes, I won't go out on my own."

If I make her any more angry, I'll be in trouble if she banned me from going out.

Well, if I want to escape, I can just use the same technique I used to escape traps.

◇

"...Ah, and also, our president wanted me to ask you something..."

"What is it, Emi-san?"

I don't like this awkwardness.

So for now, I'll have coffee time...I'm in a good mood after secretly adding a splash of alcohol to a coffee liqueur-like cocktail.

It doesn't seem like they've found out so far... From now on, I'll just mix it into juice or something to get around it.

Because whenever I try to drink alcohol, everyone looks at me with strange eyes...

Well, I guess that's the kind of look you'd get if a little girl tried to drink alcohol...

“The role of protecting you has been taken over by a public institution, right, Haru-san? …So, what do you want to do from now on?”

"From now on?"

"That's right! Haru-chan, Haru-chan, let's collab, collab, collab!"

"Too close, Ruru-san."

"It's okay, I'll make sure not to point the camera at Haru-chan."

"Too close, Ruru-san."

Ruru clings to me whenever she gets the chance.

...I don't dislike it, but it's embarrassing, and besides, it's a girl of that age, so I'm the one who feels embarrassed.

So I push away the cheeks that are getting closer.

Ah, but she doesn't have a chest like Emi-san,

"Haru-chan?"

"What is it?"

"………………"

"So, collaboration, huh... hmmm."

Recently, I've noticed how flat Ruru-san is.

"Haru-chan, as expectedー"

"Sure."

"ーMy... eh, really?! Yippee!!"

Apparently, whenever I try to think deeply, I can understand girls' intuition... What is this body, really...?

... Wait, I just said "Sure" without thinking.

Well, it's fine.

"Haru-san's camera will have a view like today's stream, from her own point of view. Ruru's camera, instead of the usual 3 directions, can be limited to just one from Haru-san perspective... Yes, if we make Ruru and Haru facing each other, it should work."

"Thanks Emi-chan!"

Ah, they're making it so that I don't have to show my face.

That's right, I recently found out that professional streamers use drones to film from multiple angles.

Science progress is amazing.

At first glance, it just looks like a floating sci-fi pod.

“At the end of that stream… I know it can’t be helped, but after sealing off the entire dungeon, the comments worrying about Haru-san’s safety are unbearable. So, let's show them that she's safe by streaming.”

"Oh, that reminds me."

Chiho... Kujima-san takes out my smartphone... and looks at me.

"?"

"...Haru-san, silent mode."

"Ah, right."

"! That's right, Haru-chan! Even in the dungeon, when you're taking a break, please turn off silent mode or at least check your smartphone!"

"No, but I usually only check my smartphone in the morning and evening..."

Thanks to that, the battery lasts for two or three days.

Ah, but I don't think I'll have time to play games.

"...Is that what men are like?"

"Well, I've heard that in this day and age, even men use it more..."

What a hassle... Oh, that's right.

"Kujima-san."

"Please call her Chiho-chan!"

"Kujima-san."

"Yes?"

"Chiho-chanー mmph."

Emi-san's brilliant interception helped me avoid calling her "Chiho-chan."

Emi-san is such a good girl at times like this.

"Could you please manage my smartphone when I'm not in the dungeon?"

"Huh?"

"Well, that kind of thing is too much of a hassle for me... Ah, Emi-san can also do it when your pervert switch isn't on."

"...Haru-san, is it okay...?"

"Yes, I don't mind."

"... I heard that men store contents that they don't want to show to women on their smartphones, though."

"I didn't put any so it doesn't really matter."

Oh, that's a rare look on Emi-san's face.

Oh, Kujima-san is also putting on a rare face.

... Ruru-san's face was bright red.

Why?

"...Haru-chan?"

"Yes?"

"Haru-chan... Do you possibly, like other guys...?"

"How did you reach that conclusion?"

"Because when a boy doesn't have that kind of thing..."

"Men are all different, you know? Look, like Ruru-san and Emi-san."

Even the three girls gathered here are all different.

So I think it's best not to assume that all men like lewd things.

Well, it's true for most of them, though.

Me?

……… For now, I'm a girl so, no comment.
