Ch.26 Mitsumiya-san... Rio-chan has Become My Producer and Party Member

"Yuzuki-senpai. Yuzuki-senpai. Yuzu-senpai. ...If you don't respond, I'll just pin you down, you know?"

Everything went dark before my eyes... When I came to, I was somehow lying on my back in bed, and for some reason my thighs felt cool and breezy.

I woke up to the same scene that always happens after I fall asleep: Mitsumiya-san was directly above me, peering down at me.

This child is quite the clingy one, isn't she?

It seems like she always clings to me when she's sleeping... but I'm sleepy so I usually just leaver her alone.

Thanks to that, I feel a little calmer.

There's nothing quite like human touch, is there?

"...Mitsumiya-san?"

"Okay, what do you call me when it's an important consultation like this?"

"...Rio-san"

"Just a little more."

"...Rio-chan"

"Okay."

I don't know what "okay" means, but whenever I'm in trouble, she always makes me call her that before solving the problem.

"This is good enough, isn't it, Omanju-chan?"

"Kyui."

I don't know what's good enough, but since I've called her by her name... I'm sure she'll come up with a wonderful solution.

"So, Mitsumi... Rio-chan. What should I do?"

"Of course, it's streaming."

"Streaming."

"Yes, streaming."

Eh?

Wouldn't it be better to just smoothly fade out like this?

"But."

"Yuzuki-senpai, you don't have any money, do you?"

"Eh, ah, yeah, but..."

"You're young now so you can manage somehow, but I've said before that if you continue this lifestyle for 10 years, your body will be completely worn out, right?"

"Ah, ugh."

Mitsumiya-san is scary.

"I haven't interfered until now, but now that things have come to this, I'm going to be more assertive."

"Assertive..."

"Kyui kyui. "

And for some reason, my Omanju has been taken, and Omanju is staring intently at me.

"If you take another month off, you'll be held back a year and become my classmate. ...That's fine too, but I also like being in the position of an childhood friend with underclassman position."

"Kyu."

Underclassman position?

What's that?

"To be honest, Yuzuki-senpai looks really young, just like your mother, and to begin with, you're even shorter than me."

"Let's stop talking about height..."

"Anyway, that's the situation. If things continue like this, you'll drop out of high school and only have a middle school diploma... and that would put you straight to becoming a part-timer, which would be such a waste of your youth, Yuzuki-senpai."

Mitsumiya-san is very blunt and critical.

...Why are you in a bad mood today?

But... I don't smell any blood?

"All of this is because Yuzuki-senpai has had a massive accident online, but should I explain each point in detail?"

"Kyui?"

"Sorry."

That's right... If I keep streaming from a dungeon like this, it'll be really bad...

"...Phew. Well, I know that no matter how much I say it, you won't budge on this point, so I won't say anything more."

"Ah, I've already consulted with Yuzuki-senpai's mother about what I'm about to tell you, okay?" she said as a preface.

"Shall we do it? Dungeon stream."

"But, but, I already..."

"It's okay. I'll produce it."

"Huh? P-produce...?"

Produce.

What exactly is producing?

"You know I can go into dungeons, right?"

"Ah, yeah. You've been diving occasionally since elementary school."

It was discovered during a typical elementary school field trip, nicknamed the "Dungeon Excursion," that Mitsumiya-san had the aptitude for it.

So, while forming parties as friends, we could "sort of" get by... and they were pretty nice to me until I gave up and started to dislike talking about that kind of thing.

"So, I'll join the party too... I'll say this since I just watched the dungeon stream, but I'll force my way into that party of three. I'm a female friend of Yuzuki-senpai... so I don't think they'll say no, right?"

Mitsumiya-san's talking speed gradually increased.

...Whenever she gets like this, I can never keep up and all I can do is nod in agreement.

I know she's probably doing it on purpose, but it usually happens when I'm in the wrong and need help, so I have no choice but to put up with it.

"Yuzuki-senpai, to be honest, you're not very good at communicating with people, are you?"

"Uh, yeah... I mean, unless it's someone I know well, like Rio-chan or Tanaka-kun..."

"...That's Yuzuki-senpai for bringing up Tanaka-senpai's name at times like this... That's why I feel relieved though..."

"?"

"Sigh... It's fine."

"Kyui kyui."

It seems that Omanju has taken a liking to Mitsumiya-san.

It turns its head towards her and cries, as if to say, "I understand your struggles."

...Affectionately

Is my Omanju going to be taken away?

"And because you're too considerate of others, you can't speak properly, you can't say no to anything someone says, and you readily accepts requests without thinking, and then comes to me crying and says, 'What should I do?'"

"Ugh..."

"...But when it comes down to it, Yuzuki-senpai is stubborn and absolutely won't budge. Yiu want to take care of your mother and earn money for living expenses without any help from Tanaka-senpai or me."

"...Yeah. My relatives and the government officials all said they would do something to help, but... Okaa-san is my only family..."

"That kind of thing isn't really good, you know... but since this is the outcome, then it's okay, right, Omanju-chan?"

"Kyui!"

"?"

What happened?

"Yuzu-senpai."

"Yes."

"Yuzu-senpai's dungeon stream. I'm saying that I'll take on the responsibility of figuring out how to make it a normal stream from here on out, how to monetize it from here on out, how to prevent your identity from being revealed, how to ensure your safety, and all sorts of other things, since I'm both a party member and producer."

"...I guess that's the only option."

"Well, if Yuzu-senpai can resolve this brilliantly from here..."

"Please."

"Oh, you're being honest, probably because you know you've messed up online. Good."

Apparently, I had already made my dungeon debut under Mitsumiya-san's production... but it seems I'll be doing it again.

But I feel a little relieved.

I can leave everything to Mitsumiya-san, so it's all good.

"Hehe... I'll make Yuzu-senpai the most famous person in this region someday...!"

...It's going to be okay, right?
