Chapter 21

Emergency Meeting

Translated by GXYRU

I never imagined that while investigating the cheating, it would be revealed that Ren was involved in the pillow business. I couldn’t publicly expose him on the sub-channel, but this could be a significant material to corner him.

Megumi-sama is truly amazing.

Himeno introduced me to a video editing company, and while enjoying soft-serve ice cream at a manga café, I laughed at the comments pouring in about Miku and Ren’s sordid rendezvous.

However, it was getting troublesome to move to the manga café every time to check and stream the sub-channel.

Come to think of it, the neighbor across the street mentioned that there was an empty room available…

Streaming from there would be convenient.

Huh!?

While I was streaming the sub-channel, I was shocked. Melted soft-serve ice cream kept dripping…

No way.

It was at zero subscribers, but it suddenly increased to 10,000, then 20,000, and finally reached 100,000.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Came from the main channel!

Seeking vengeance against Ren and Miku!!!

No cheating!!!

The comments exceeded 1,000 easily, and many voices condemned Miku and Ren.

The view count?

Over 5 million!!!

I was focused on the comments.

While the main channel mainly attracted male listeners, surprisingly, the sub-channel had nearly half of its viewers being female.

Cheating is unforgivable!

Many comments showed high expectations for the sub-channel.

I received an email from RTube management, informing them that they had transferred the earnings, so I checked the passbook with trembling hands.

Summary Payment Amount (JPY) Deposit Amount (JPY)

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Transfer Kiyuyo 283,354

Transfer RTube 30,578,127

W-wait… It’s 30 million yen!?

Certainly, I had set it as an ambitious goal to earn 1 billion, but I never expected to make this much in the first month…

It’s 100 times my monthly income; this is dangerous.

Of course, initial investment costs were involved:

Camera and computer equipment for around 1 million yen.

Shibumi-sensei’s reward of 500,000 yen.

Megumi’s gratitude fee of 300,000 yen.

Ren’s entertainment expenses for meals and massages, about 240,000 yen.

In total, around 2.04 million yen… So I have about 28 million yen left in my hands. Combined with my savings for considering marriage with Miku, it reaches 34 million yen.

But Miku and Ren are incredible!

They willingly pay me around 1.5 million yen every time they spend the night together, making me burst into laughter.

When I returned home after receiving sandwiches from my boss and Himeno on my way back from work and told Miku that I didn’t need dinner, I found an unopened cardboard box right in front of my seat, small enough for me to hug.

Peeling off the tape and opening it…

No way!

A dazzling metallic gleam!!!

I received both a gold and silver plaque. Within one month, the number of subscribers jumped from 100,000 to over 1 million and continued to expand like the universe.

Trembling, I hid the gold and silver plaques under the sofa so that Miku wouldn’t find them.

Just then, my phone vibrated and I picked it up to find a message.

【Natsumi】

“I’ll hold an internal meeting after the morning assembly.”

“Yuzuki, I need you to attend.”

The message was from the manager, but she rarely calls for meetings so urgently. Usually, she carefully plans and arranges meetings, coordinating with everyone involved. This sudden rush was unusual.

I wonder if something went wrong?

Could it be that Ren’s pillow business got exposed…?

【Rintaro】

“Understood.”

“Is there something wrong?”

【Natsumi】

“Oh, something big happened.”

“But let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

【Minori has joined the chat】

【Minori】

“What’s going on?”

“Manager?”

【Natsumi】

“I didn’t call Himeno.”

“This meeting is just for me and Yuzuki.”

【Rintaro】

“Huh!?!”

【Minori】

“Huh!?”

【Natsumi】

“I’m serious.”

“Do not let Himeno attend this, no matter what!!!”

【Natsumi has left the chat】

【Minori】

“Senpai.”

“What do you think?”

【Rintaro】

“I don’t know.”

“But anyway…”

“I’ll attend and see.”

【Minori】

“Tell me about it later.”

“Please.”

【Rintaro】

“Sure.”

I silently thank the sleeping Miku in my heart.

Miku, thank you for cheating on me!

But it’s not over yet. You betrayed me, and you better be prepared to be tossed away like a rag after I earn that billion yen.

I might be a corporate slave, but Miku, Ren… you two are my livestock!!!

―――――――――――――――――

The next morning…

“Senpai, listen to this. I earned 350,000 yen this month, including my results bonus! But I won’t treat you to anything. If you don’t feel frustrated, my motivation won’t kick in! How about that? It’s an honor to have such a caring kohai, isn’t it?”

After the morning assembly, Ren keeps trying to provoke me with sarcastic remarks, but I don’t even care anymore.

Haha, it’s impressive! My passbook holds 100 times your salary!

Haha, your motivation switch is only activated by sex. And you have no idea that you’re being overshadowed by me.

“Yeah, I’m honored to have an amazing kohai like you.”

“Huh? Trying to act tough, huh! How about showing some frustration? Oh, I see, you’ve realized the difference in our standings and given up. Well, that kind of life suits you, senpai, hahahaha!”

I restrain my laughter and desperately play the role of a useless senpai. To be honest, I hold Ren’s fate in my hands.

But if the manager called me to the meeting room because she found out about Ren’s pillow business, it’s a different story. It would be fine to give Ren the appropriate punishment, but if he’s fired from the company now, the plan would be ruined.

Suppressing my impatience, I head towards the designated meeting room where the manager awaits.
