The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 91

Starting the day after winter break, I began activities with my bento buddies and rented an office to serve as the base for the Armed Girls.

That place is near Nene-san’s studio. It’s convenient because we won’t have any trouble recording songs, and it’s also quite close to the school.

However, since I’m a man and can’t sign a real estate contract, I was a bit troubled about who to make the contract holder, but since everyone is likely to continue their studies, I asked Kaori. The guarantor is Nene-san.

The guarantor wasn’t necessary if they paid the guarantee fee, but since Nene-san negotiated with the real estate agent, they decided to use that money to purchase office supplies instead.

Both of them were supposed to be busy on the last working day of the year (the 28th) with client visits and big cleaning…

I’m really glad I could use teleportation. It saved a lot of time since I went to pick up the two of them with it.

It’s just that Mil-san wouldn’t allow me to leave even temporarily, so Mil-san ended up teleporting with me…

She was probably worried about me, and since she knew I could teleport even with three people, that’s why she did it.

It might be because my teleportation proficiency has increased due to training, but recently, I don’t feel like I’m consuming much mental energy with this level, so maybe my mental energy has also increased.

I need to make sure I don’t fall behind on the rent and cause any trouble.

It’s quite a spacious and nice office. Since it was empty, we all chatted and ordered the necessary items like computers, desks, and chairs online.

“I have something I need everyone to help with right away.”

It was Saori who brought it up.

In the still-empty office, the 21 of us, including myself, were sitting on the carpeted floor discussing what we needed and had just finished placing our online orders when Saori stood up.

“?”

“What could it be?”

Everyone is paying attention to Saori, sitting up straight and behaving properly.

But honestly, I was relieved. Since it’s winter break, everyone is in casual clothes, but no one is wearing pants. Everyone is in skirts. Moreover, the skirts are shorter than the uniforms. I was being very careful not to sit directly in front of everyone who was sitting sideways.

——Huh?

Just when I thought I accidentally made eye contact with Nanako,

——Buh!

She slightly lifted her skirt and raised her thumb.

It seems like my thoughts were a bit scattered. Nanako-san, let’s avoid that since it tends to catch the eye.

“Nanako, Tsukune, Sachiko might be good too…”

When Saori called out to Nanako, Tsukune, and Sachiko, the three of them stood up and showed their screens on their smartphones.

“It’s about the Armed Girls Channel…”

The number of subscribers, which continues to grow, has finally surpassed 10 million. Although my previous subscriber count hasn’t exceeded that yet, I have entered the top 10 in the country’s netTuber subscriber ranking.

“Wow.”

“Awesome!”

Everyone who saw the smartphone screen was surprised by the number, but also understood it.

There are also plenty of unread DMs on SNS with a similar number of followers.

“Everyone, please.”

After asking everyone to help with the management, Saori appointed an editor (with restrictions).

Editors can view all content, live stream, and create and edit content. Permission management and content deletion are not allowed.

Editor (restricted) has the same permissions as an editor, but cannot view revenue data.

Everyone who gladly accepted immediately started using their smartphones, but…

“Eh, there’s this much…”

Everyone’s face was twitching at the sheer number of DMs.

“Y-yeah, that’s right. Haha.”

Saori, Nanako, Tsukune, and Sachiko were just laughing it off for now.

Me? I can’t do anything because I don’t have the authority. I’m sorry… While I was thinking that and apologizing in my heart, Nanako gave me a side-eye.

I want to help, but you see, I still get collaboration requests on my personal SNS account. Basically, I can only visit on Saturdays now, so the collaboration requests just keep piling up. Maybe it’s time to close the door on them…

“Huh? Is this…?”

As I lightly applied relaxation and healing to everyone who was quietly operating, Kumiyaji-san let out a surprised voice.

“Yes!”

“Wow!”

Everyone around who peered into Kumiyaji-san’s smartphone screen also gasped in surprise.

“Did you receive any strange DMs?”

When Sachiko peered into Kumiyaji-san’s smartphone just like everyone else,

“Year-end music program, King of Songs Night… an offer to appear!?”

Covering my mouth… I froze. Well, of course. Even I, who usually doesn’t watch TV, know about the year-end music program, “King of Songs Night.” It’s quite a famous music show.

“Ah.”

But if I look at the date the offer request came in, it was the day after Happy Day.

It seems like there’s a live broadcast on December 30, but the deadline for the response is the same day the offer request was made, the 26th, indicating they want it immediately.

To want a response on the same day the offer request was made, the other party must have been quite pressed for time.

Even so, it’s a show featuring popular singers and top idols, so everyone probably wanted to appear on it.

After confirming with me, they said it was a long shot, but still replied that they would appear…
