Streaming.
To put it simply, internet broadcasting.
It's a tough red ocean to break into and succeed in, but once you do, it's a beautiful place where you can easily copy money.
That's what internet broadcasting means to me.
It's almost impossible to succeed, but if I use this scammy body, success is basically guaranteed.
- A way to get energy without going outside... the world really has changed.
"Listening to you talk, you're just an old fossil. Your tail's restless, can you move it over there?"
- Isn't that your tail? Mine isn't yellow like yours, it's pure white like fresh snow.
"...Having so many tails is annoyingly inconvenient. Is there no way to hide them? Because of this, I can't even go outside."
- Judging by how dirty your room is, it looks like you haven't been out in a long time, so don't blame others.
"I was planning to clean it up soon. But I do clean at least once a month."
- ...You have different standards. These days, cleaning once a month is the norm?
She frowned and asked, and I turned my head to avoid answering.
"Just tell me how to hide the tail and ears, don't ask weird stuff."
- For you, not cleaning is the weird thing?
"Shut up, the cleaner will come if I call anyway."
- You're going to welcome the cleaner looking like that? Haha, you're funny.
"Stop dodging the question. If you don't answer this time, it's over for both of us. You know who's in charge here, right?"
I growled a warning, and the fox spirit cleared her throat and started explaining.
- It's simple. If you gather energy and can use a more perfect disguise technique, you can hide them. If you steadily drain energy from over ten thousand people for about 100 days, you'll be able to hide your ears and tail.
"That's crazy. You're basically saying I need to gather energy from a million people."
- To put it differently, if it's 100,000 people, it takes about ten days; if it's a million, just one day.
A million people. Not ten thousand, a million?
"Haha, that's insane. Maybe just dying wouldn't be so bad? If I disappear cleanly, there won't even be a corpse."
- ...Didn't I say it's possible if you use that internet broadcasting method? You just have to start.
"How can I start without equipment or money? You're such a hopeless fox."
I sighed and kept criticizing her, and she got gloomy, walked to the wall, and quietly started sobbing.
- ...I'm sorry. I was too reckless. Too much time has passed since I was sealed, and my judgment has gotten really bad.
"Don't cry, you idiot! If you cry there, what am I supposed to be?"
- Sniff... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have held onto you and ended up walking the path of destruction together. I'm really... really sorry...
"Stop crying! If you cry there, I'll become trash! I'm already a bastard, and becoming trash too is just too much."
- Waaahhh....
...It got worse?
How do I calm her down?
I've only seen her whimpering on the bed, never crying like this holding onto the wall.
"This is driving me crazy. Hey, stop it now. If you don't, we're really going to die together, got it?"
- Hngh... Sniff... I've been alone for hundreds of years... I've spent hundreds of years unable to move in an uncomfortable position!!!
"Not my problem."
- That priestess is messing with the life of the god she serves instead of comforting me... Waaahhh...
This is really driving me crazy.
If only she'd be quieter.
Her voice is so loud it's shaking my brain.
Eventually, dizzy from her crying, I contacted a friend on my phone and said,
"Sigh... Wait a bit. I have one way."
- A way...? Didn't you say earlier there was no way?
"It's a way I really don't want to use. I have to be unnecessarily humble."
Because I need to borrow money to buy broadcasting equipment.
I can make money right now, but the amount I can make at once is limited.
"I really didn't want to borrow. This guy's so nice it's a burden to borrow from him."
Muttering to myself, I sent a KakaoTalk message to my closest friend.
<50? If possible, about 100... You don't have that much, right?>
<...Are you crazy? Why suddenly borrow such a huge amount?>
Reading my friend's last message, I threw my phone onto the bed.
"How does everything always go from bad to worse, damn life."
- ...Did something bad happen? If there's anything I can help with, I will.
"Can't I just turn back to how I was, even for a moment? Five or ten minutes would be enough."
- If you had enough spiritual power and energy, you could. But now...
"So basically, no. Fine. Better to get beaten first than later."
I don't know if he'll believe I turned into this horny body.
Usually, listing embarrassing past stories helps them believe, but he's so suspicious he probably won't believe it unless it's something big.
"How do I make him believe I turned into this?"
- Hmm, I have a good idea.
"A good idea? Let's hear it."
Curious, I looked at the fox spirit, who started explaining with a serious face.
- Since ancient times, persuasion requires time and patience, step by step.
"That's true. Even the hardest rock crumbles if water keeps dripping on it."
- You know well. So if you spend enough time and effort when he comes to you, won't it be solved?
"Don't tell me... no way."
- If not, then force him. Lock him up and keep persuading until it works. It's not impossible.
"That's a crime, you crazy fox. What kind of life did you live before being sealed?"
I tried to organize my confused thoughts and asked her, and she calmly said,
- Didn't I say? I ruined a whole country. For me, it was just a moment, but I lived a life of wealth and power, ruling over others.
"So basically, you're a jerk. No wonder kidnapping and imprisonment come up so easily."
- That was normal where I lived. Don't judge me too harshly.
I didn't want to say anything else to her, or she'd probably start making noise again, so I went to my computer desk and took out a tablet from the drawer.
- ...What's that black thing?
"This? I took it out to draw. Since I need urgent cash, I have to do even annoying stuff."
- Oh, you're an artist? Are you good?
"I draw well enough to make a living. That's why I can live without going outside."
If I weren't draining energy from others, I'd just be drawing normally and living day by day.
If it weren't for that damn energy, I wouldn't show my face to others.
Complaining, I posted on a community site I often visit.
