Chapter 162

Chapter 159: Compromise is the Enemy! Double Mysterious ASMR!

We were now inside the soundproof room of Kroma Music Academy.

Here, I thought we would prepare for the operation.

This time, the Mysterious Beautiful Girl time would require a lot of magical power.

Therefore, it was only natural for us to enter our dual star form.

When the two of us were together, our resonance would increase our magical power.

However, that alone wouldn’t be enough time.

We needed to act faster and harness a vast amount of magical power.

For that reason, it was only obvious that we would record ASMR.

Isn’t that right? Hey!?

Make my heart race even more.

“Ah, finally this day has come. Although the script isn’t complete yet, I understand. From here on, we shall speak with the words of our souls, right?!”

Behind me, Star Reader’s Staff, known as Zero, said that.

By the way, this was a dummy head microphone specially created by the mysteriously thieving Miuye-chan.

I’m sorry♥ I’ll gift you some angel parts later, so please forgive me♥

“Ah, this is the best! It feels like a child waiting for a Christmas present. I’m learning what it means to be human! It feels truly wonderful…!”

This child has been in this high tension the whole time.

I was worried about her accidentally slipping up before Nana-chan returned to Phectom.

“If only we had invited Ciel, the loli voice would have been perfect too.”

“Don’t say that as a sister.”

Nana-chan had already returned after completing her work.

After granting us full authority over the underground theater and laboratory, she teleported away with a beaming smile.

She gave a thumbs up as she sank into the teleportation magic circle on the ground, but was she watching classic masterpieces while playing games?

Could she be a winning NEET?

“How are we going to record this time?”

“I want to amplify the magical power. If possible, I want something that raises my emotions. So, let’s go with ASMR where Solciera whispers in both our ears, one being teasing and the other gentle.”

“—Understood.”

“What an outrageous adaptability.”

A moment later, Solciera was already there.

I can’t believe it, it’s the real thing!

“Indeed, with my magic, it wouldn’t be surprising if I could do that. The listener will surely be convinced.”

Solciera’s setting is incredibly versatile. Thus, it would be easy to accept such a scenario in this creative work.

“You’re quick to understand. I’ll say this from the start, but this is strictly a sleep-inducing, fetish-destroying audio. So it’s merely whispering. Do you understand?”

“Yes, of course!＾＾”

You’re leaking a bit there.

“Well then, shall we begin?”

I started counting with my fingers. And then—

“Good morning, cute explorer. You’ve awakened… ah, did I surprise you? I’m Luciera.”

I read the introduction perfectly.

This time, the script goes like this.

You, who have been exploring the dungeon in the middle of the night, collapse from the strain of your daily life.

A mysterious girl named Luciera comes to your rescue and brings you back to her hideout.

It seems Luciera has liked you for a while, and she decides to soothe you while you’re tired.

Your fleeting dream with Luciera begins now—

That’s how it goes.

After all, using Solciera’s name might trouble the original creator.

Well, we are technically the original creators though.

It makes no sense for the original creator to record an ASMR with twisted fetishes.

So, we send it out to the world as a high-quality derivative work.

This time, the theme is mysterious healing.

While maintaining Solciera’s character, it would be best to present it as an all-ages version for the first audio work.

Therefore, it starts with a healing voice that allows for a restful sleep.

In other words, it is created to help good children around the world have a good night’s sleep.

Especially you, Sougo—I hope you’re prepared.

Because I’ll make you addicted to audio works this time.

I’ll also prepare a special track just for you: “ASMR of being ear-cleaned by the person you admire.”

“Great, that’s a wonderful introduction. Perfect. I love the breathy voice!＾＾”

Through telepathy, Star Reader’s Staff shared their thoughts.

Yes, this is my only advantage.

The communication through telepathy with the understanding Staff creates a perfect synergy during the recording.

We both had headphones on, allowing each of our voices to be heard clearly.

With this, I could enjoy the Mysterious Beautiful Girl from both the performer’s and consumer’s perspectives.

In that case, I wonder how my magical power production would turn out?

“How’s the magical power?”

“Explosively rising. I’m producing magical power in resonance with you. With this, we should reach the target magical value in about thirty minutes.”

“Alright, then we’ll just record part one this time. We can do the rest when we get back.”

After all, we were illegally intruding and recording audio works.

So, we couldn’t stay too long.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. For now, love yourself a little. Yes, lie back down again… Uh? Why do you think I’m lying down too? Hehe, I wonder why.”

“Ah, this is the best! Solciera is sleeping beside me! Cuddling!”

“I’ll stay like this and cuddle with you until you fall asleep again.”

We started off with this sweet atmosphere.

However, this is where the real deal begins.

“You’re turning red, so cute. Hehe… I want to tease you a little.”

“Let’s insert some sound that resembles the activation of magic here.”

“Sure. I’ll leave it to you.”

While discussing various things in our minds, we continued without stopping.

In the scenario, after I activated the magic—

“How’s this? …Ah, did I surprise you again?”

Star Reader’s Staff perfectly mimicked Solciera and joined in.

“This is my doppelgänger.”

This is the Double Mysterious ASMR.

A traditional performance that has been passed down in my homeland since ancient times.

“I’ll heal you until you fall asleep.”

“From both sides.”

“We’ll ‘heal’ you.”

Our voices resonated through the headphones.

Star Reader’s Staff and I exchanged nods and began telepathy together.

“Perfect……”

It was so perfect.

From here on, Star Reader’s Staff and I would split into Sweet Solciera and S-leaning Solciera, tormenting both ears.

This is where the real performance begins.

■

At the same time, at Mikage Academy.

“—!?”

Eina, alone, instinctively noticed the anomaly and looked up at the ceiling as if she had been struck.

“…Uh, um.”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Eina?”

Noticing her unusual demeanor, Rokuhara asked.

Immediately, Eina forced a smile and vigorously shook her head.

“N-n-no, it’s nothing! Seriously, it isn’t! Come on, let’s get back to beating up that new guy, Tourak!”

“It’s not like that’s our main goal or anything…”

Rokuhara looked at Tourak, who was lying on the floor.

His fifth fight had just ended, and he looked too exhausted to get up.

“Hey, you’re hiding something, aren’t you?”

“N-no I’m not!? There’s no way I would hide anything from the Leader!”

“…Eina…”

“Eep! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll tell you!”

Feeling Rokuhara’s glare, Eina quickly bowed her head and beckoned him over with her hands.

“Why do you need to whisper? Just speak normally.”

“No, I thought it’d be best not to let Tourak hear this…”

She then quietly informed Rokuhara.

“…Earlier, I detected an incredibly powerful magical power that I can hardly imagine. In terms of magical energy, it’s probably from my big sister.”

“Solciera, huh. I see, that makes sense… Where is it?”

“At the Kroma Music Academy. It’s the academy where Ryuko called for help.”

Eina can detect over a wide range, but normally, detecting energy across schools is difficult.

For her to sense such enormous magical power being emitted by Solciera indicates that a significant amount of power is needed.

“This might be some seriously dangerous stuff happening.”

Eina said, making a face as if she had bitten into something sour.

It was evident she didn’t want to go and wanted to avoid it.

“U-um, Leader, I want to pretend I didn’t know about this…”

Eina said cautiously.

In response, Rokuhara only glanced at her and fell silent.

“I-I might just get in the way if I go! Let’s just say it was fate that I missed this one! Besides, we’re busy here too!”

Flailing her hands, Eina made her case.

Seeing her like this, Rokuhara said—

“Alright, I got it.”

“…Huh, are you serious?”

“Yeah. This has a higher priority… Wait, what’s with that face?”

Eina was nodding with tears welling up in her eyes, looking relieved.

“I thought I’d definitely be taken along… I’m so glad.”

“That’s a pathetic reason.”

Rokuhara said, appearing exasperated.

“There’s Solciera and Ryuko at Kroma, right? So, no matter what happens, we’ll be fine. After all, two people who have beaten me are there.”

“Y-yeah, you’re right!”

“…Wait. There are two people who have beaten me? Is this a good time or what…?”

As Rokuhara spoke, seemingly trying to figure something out, Eina shouted with excitement.

“How long are you going to keep sleeping, Tourak!? We’re all ready over here! Isn’t it embarrassing for a Demons Gear user to be slacking off!?”

“W-what!?”

The plan was to quickly revive the prone Tourak and help him refocus on training.

“Hurry up! I’m a senior Demons Gear!”

“Ugh, but my body…”

“Use your spirit to move!”

Just then, as she tried to grab Tourak’s hand, the white-tipped sword he held began to glow.

It naturally took on the shape of a girl and twisted Eina’s arm, successfully locking the joint.

“It hurts! Lutra, it hurts!”

“Don’t bully Tourak. I’ll cut you.”

One second after appearing, Lutra achieved total victory.

“Leader, help! I’m being bullied by the Demons Gear! My arm is going to come off!”

“You think you can act all high and mighty just because we’re being quiet? Not on my watch.”

“Eep! Leader, hurry!”

Completely pinned down, Eina called out for Rokuhara.

Seeing the whole situation, Rokuhara sighed in genuine exasperation.

“You’re so pitiful… how are you losing?”

“If my joints come out of place, I’ll be in trouble! Help!”

Although it was not the expected scenario, Rokuhara halted his assault on Kroma due to Eina’s shameful display.

He was disenchanted by the sight of his pitiful partner.

(Well, either way, both of them can play together anytime. For now, I’ll focus over here.)

Unlike his partner, he was surprisingly good at separating public and private matters.
