Volume 1 Chapter 67 The Crisis That Is Right There (Takeru's Aftermath) (I)
"I'm a bit tired of talking. Let's take a break!"
After Noja Loli muttered, she asked me for a refill of the coffee from earlier.
I was just about to run out of coffee in my cup, so I took Sakurako-chan's cup and went to the coffee maker to brew 2 cups.
"Here you go."
"Oh, thank you. Slurp... Ah, you're good at making coffee."
"No, it's not that great... Slurp."
Well, I didn't make it myself, though.
So, while chatting, I relaxed with Sakurako-chan.
At that moment, Sakurako-chan suddenly showed a gesture as if she remembered something and picked up the TV remote.
"Now, let's see what's going on..."
She pressed the remote's switch.
Then...
"Breaking news! Today, the 'Talking Monster,' rumored to exist on the 70th floor of Shinjuku Gyoen dungeon, has appeared on the 49th floor. The encounter was captured on camera by a D streamer, showing the 'Talking Monster' for the first time! Furthermore, the D streamer, a suspicious figure wearing a death mask named Omega..."
""Bffttt!!!""
Sakurako-chan and I blew coffee everywhere.

"W-what the...?!"
Sakurako-chan was pale, trembling as she watched the TV.
"What's wrong, Sakurako? Did you have a scary dream? (Charming voice)"
I spoke to calm the confused Sakurako-chan with my 'adult's embrace' and 'charming voice.'
Then,
"...Noja."
"Noja? (Charming voice)"
"All of this... is the result of your blunder, you fool!!"
Hmph...!
BANNNGGG!!!!
"Ouchhhh...!!"
Sakurako-chan used 'Jumper' and landed her second 'Solar Plexus Blow' beautifully today.
I... I'm in agony.
"Hey, Sakurako-chan... using 'Jumper'... that's too serious..."
"Of course! This whole ruckus is caused by your blunder, and now I have to clean it up! I need at least a 'Solar Plexus Blow' to calm my nerves!"
"Ugh..."
You have a point.
My bad.
"After that, I checked the 'Omega-channel' and 'Valkyrie' channels."
Then, the view count of the earlier stream surpassed... 700,000.
"Wow, the view count... 700,000! Is this what going viral means!? Amazing!!"
I rejoiced as I looked at my channel's view count.
...but beside that,
"Oh no... this is bad! Not just 'Omega-channel', but 'Valkyrie channel' is going viral too... and it's already over 1.5 million views..."
"1.5 million...!? Incredible! As expected from 'Valkyrie channel'!"
"Oh no... I was supposed to make the video 'private' first... how could I let this happen!?"
Then, an incredibly determined Sakurako-chan casually pulled out her smartphone and made a call (so fierce... yet so cute).
"It's me! Make today's stream videos of 'Omega-channel' and 'Valkyrie channel' private in the info room! Hurry!"
"What!? "
No, wait!
The viral video (ad revenue) is... gone.
"Please, Sakurako-senpai! Think it over!?"
"Get off me! Don't worry; the guild will cover the lost ad revenue from the private video!"
Oh, really?
Then, that's good!
(Money is important)
"Alright, it's made private! I checked too! Good work!"
Apparently, the 'Information Room' of the guild has submitted a request to D-Streamer's management to make my channel and 'Valkyrie Channel' videos private, and it was accepted, making the videos unavailable.
By the way, the 'Information Room' is managed by the 'World Seeker Guild Association UK Headquarters'... which means it's the central hub for all Seeker guilds around the world.
I mean, I think it's pretty rare for a single phone call to that place to instantly approve and enact the video privatization.
Maybe this is the 'influence' that Sakurako-chan has built over the past 20 years.
* * *
"Phew... what a hassle."
Sakurako-chan said that and gulped down her coffee in one go.
Seeing that, I went to get the coffee maker again and poured coffee just for Sakurako-chan this time.
"Here you go."
"Oh, thank you. Slurp... Ah, you really make good coffee!"
"No, it's not that much... slurp."
I'll say it again, but I didn't make it myself.
Well, that aside.
Between Sakurako-chan and me, a relaxed mood flowed again as we chatted.
Then, Sakurako-chan said, "Now, is the chaos settled?" and casually picked up the remote control for the TV and pressed the switch.
Then...
"...Live! We're live! I am now in front of the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild building! And look at this crowd! According to reports, it seems that the video featuring the 'Talking Monster' suddenly became unavailable, and viewers from 'Omega-channel' and 'Valkyrie Channel' have gathered here to protest! The scene is in great chaos! I repeat! Right now, in front of the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild building..."
""Pftttt!!!!""
Sakurako-chan and I sprayed coffee once again.
