My girlfriend, Miku, is no longer here.

When I flipped the sheets, I saw stains left on the mattress. The sheets had been replaced with new ones, deceiving my eyes.

The innocent Miku had turned completely black.

Anger overwhelmed sadness, and strangely, tears wouldn’t come. Presenting the irrefutable evidence in the form of videos and breaking up with Miku would be easy.

But as I stared at the buzzed replay count of 500,000, Himeko’s words came to mind.

“Even if we just fool around, if we can make 300 million yen, I might consider doing it…”

Hahaha!

Yes, that’s right. If she betrayed me, I could expose them both through a live stream. It would be my revenge and a way for me to obtain a fortune that I couldn’t earn in a lifetime of work!

There are those who say love can’t be bought with money, but if she can easily betray me after nearly ten years of loving each other, then it doesn’t matter anymore.

The screen, which had been left running all this time, was playing a non-R18 video.

――――――――Nyaa~n.

It was just a video of a cat playing with a ball of yarn, yet it had been replayed over 100,000 times.

This is it, this is the truth.

Miku and Ren are a pair, nothing more than my pets.

I’m only filming their mating. If you don’t like it, then don’t have sex in my room.

RTube pays about 0.1 yen per page view. With 500,000 views, that’s 50,000 yen. Even if I deduct the 30-50% commission from Super Chats, I still have a solid 20,000 yen.

――――So around 70,000 yen per live stream.

I retrieved a jewelry case from the trash can.

I started checking the web’s appraisal to see how much the engagement ring I had intended to give Miku would be worth.

In the morning, I woke up.

I could say that I was saved by the video going viral. I might have been mentally disturbed by the fact that Miku was taken by Ren, to the point of preparing charcoal or hydrogen sulfide.

If Miku had returned home from her overnight stay and found me dead, what would she think?

She might even think, “Thank you for dying.”

But it won’t be that easy! It’s because they gave me a goal: revenge and making money.

From today onwards, you all are my wallets!

I won’t settle for a mere 300 million yen. I’ll make 10 billion by live streaming your mating.

This is the compensation you owe me, Miku! It’s not exactly revenge porn, but I’ll engrave a digital tattoo that will never fade!

At the workplace –

“Hey, Senpai!”

“Oh, Renka.”

When I arrived at work, Renka greeted me with a smirk on her face. I understood that she was smirking confidently because she had taken Miku away from me. The feeling that surged within me was a mixture of pitch-black resentment and anger, indistinguishable from each other. I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into the palms of my hands, trying to maintain a calm expression on my face.

“Ease up on the womanizing, will ya?”

“Hehe, thanks, Senpai!”

Renka narrowed her eyes as if mocking me, but she didn’t really take my advice to heart. Knowing Renka, she probably just interpreted it as her being grateful that I, being dense, easily took Miku away from her.

How long will that smug smile of hers last?

Little did Renka and Miku know that they had become pawns in my game.

“Do your best at work without overexerting yourself physically.”

“Oh, I’m doing just fine, Senpai! I’m achieving results within working hours, so no worries.”

That’s a relief.

I wouldn’t want my work to suffer because I couldn’t have sex with Miku due to exhaustion or other business-related issues. And I couldn’t help but laugh, unaware that I was covering for Renka at the request of my boss.

Renka, who wants to assert her dominance, must be in the best mood after taking Miku away from me. As I thought about that, I sat at my desk and…

“Yuzuki, what’s wrong? You look pale.”

“Yeah, Senpai…”

My boss and Himeno frowned, showing a worried expression, and called out to me.

“Why do you look so troubled?”

“Yeah, if it’s tough for you, you can leave early. I’ll cover for you. I’ll even fill in my own hole… “

Just as my boss was about to say something, Himeno pushed him aside.

“No, I can’t let the boss do something like that. I’ll take care of Senpai’s work. I’ll step in for the old boss and serve Senpai… “

Himeno blushed and pressed her cheek with her hand, but the boss, as if saying she was in the way, hugged Himeno and switched places with her.

Then, the two of them brought their faces closer, almost touching foreheads, and sparks seemed to fly from their eyes, creating an intense and awkward atmosphere. They were competing to take over my work and help me out.

“Thank you both. But it’s not necessary for me to leave early. Instead, can I stop doing the overtime work you assigned to me?”

“Why, is that all? No problem! In fact, I have nothing but gratitude for Yuzuki. Take it easy.”

My boss chuckled and looked at Himeno, and in response, Himeno stepped forward and said to me,

“I-I’ve also been helped a lot by Senpai, so if you have any troubles, please tell me anything!”

I truly feel like I have a good boss and a good junior.

Thanks to the two of them, I no longer need to work overtime, so I quickly finished covering for Renka. But I couldn’t bring myself to go home right away…

[By Rintaro]

[Sorry]

[Will be late today]

[Supposed to have a drinking party]

[Understood]

[Don’t drink too much, okay?]

I fabricated a non-existent drinking party and sent a message to Miku on LINE. Although I swore revenge, I still couldn’t bring myself to see Miku’s face.

After work, I visited several jewelry and precious metal buyers, selling the engagement ring I bought for Miku. I quickly sold it and got back about 70% of the original price… It was still the highest appraisal.

With this money, I obtained a higher-performance camera and video editing equipment, hoping that Miku and Renka would secretly have sex with me in my room again.

After putting the bundle of banknotes into my bag, as I walked out of the buying shop…

“Boss!?”

“Yuzuki! What a coincidence.”

I bumped into my boss, who was walking towards me. He put his arm around my neck as if he were applying a neck lock and said.

“I’ll treat you, so come have a drink with me.”

In that case, I’ll gladly accept your offer.”

Normally, I would refuse, but I thought it would be okay to have a drink since Miku was cheating on me with Renka.

“Oh, great! Let’s drink, let’s drink!”

Until now, I had held back because of Miku, but I couldn’t help but look forward to having a drink with my boss, who was like a female friend. The people at work probably don’t know.

The only secret that I know about the boss is that she’s actually a super popular cosplayer with a million subscribers on her channel and holds a gold play button.
