As I pondered on how to draw the fox beast, Mamang, in a more appealing way, I realized that I had forgotten one crucial fact.

I was gulping down multiple bowls of kimchi stew without even progressing with the contract.

Feeling foolish, I hastily stopped sketching and began to carefully reread the email from the advertiser. When I finished reading it, I froze in place.

“They want to leave the 1st-anniversary broadcast to someone like me? Is this person serious?”

Confusion.

No, this goes beyond confusion.

I thought it was just an ordinary advertisement, but to conduct such a big event.

Isn’t the 1st-anniversary in a game equally important?

They made a lot of money, right? Then shouldn’t they pay more and invite a more famous person to host the broadcast?

Why me of all people? I have no connection to your company or the game.

Feeling flustered, I suddenly had a good idea.

Didn’t I originally aim to guide the lustful pedophiles who liked Loli Mama through advertisements to the right path?

Then, if I use the power of ‘True Mamang’ in a larger-scale 1st-anniversary broadcast, can’t I guide more pedophiles to the path of normal sexual desires?

“The normalization of all pedophiles’ sexual desires, that is the only salvation…”

Thinking that I had a great opportunity to turn those with abnormal sexual desires into normal ones, I immediately began to compose a reply.

After sending the reply to the advertiser, I returned to my editor role and began to contemplate.

How should I handle this?

Is there no way to sign the contract without meeting in person?

The editor wants to meet for the contract, but unfortunately, due to various factors, meeting is not possible.

My body has changed, but my hikikomori nature and shyness remain, and while it is my preference, to ordinary people, I am nothing more than a monster, not a beauty.

“Let’s contact first. Let’s firmly establish that we can’t meet in advance. It can’t be helped, right? I hate to execute the research more than to die.”

After taking a deep breath, I dialed the phone number written in the email, and soon after the call connected, the editor answered.

[Yes, who is this?]

A captivating voice that could instantly enchant the opposite sex.

But to someone like me who has no resistance to strangers, that voice was not charming but rather terrifying.

“H-hi…”

My head began to spin white.

What should I say? Should I greet and introduce myself? Or should I directly talk about the contract details?

Countless thoughts raced through my mind, paralyzing my actions like a malfunctioning machine, and in the end, I froze and stopped all movement.

I felt like a complete idiot, a true outcast.

When talking with friends or family, and continuing conversations with viewers on internet broadcasts, words flow so naturally.

Why can’t I even have a normal conversation with others in daily life?

I tried to gather courage and speak slowly, but as soon as I opened my mouth, my mind went blank again, so I sighed and tried to hang up the phone.

But.

[I heard the voice of the streamer, right? Why aren’t you saying anything?]

[Hey, are you so embarrassed that you can’t speak… Is there a hikikomori without a god or transcendent being coming down to enjoy the game?]

[Transcend… No, streamer? You’re taking the test right now, right? Please, please tell me you’re taking the test…!]

At first, the editor confidently spoke, but as they started to stutter and become more humble, I found it amusing, so I chuckled softly before calmly starting to speak.

“It’s not a test. And I’m sorry, I need a moment to think.”

[Th-this isn’t a test, right?! I-I’m alive… Oh great one, thank you for hearing this humble one’s prayer…]

With a sigh of relief and a string of words that were hard to catch, I casually brushed it off, thinking that even if I have second puberty, I’m firmly stuck in it.

Thanks to her triviality, my nerves began to relax, so I brought up the topic of the contract.

“By the way, you mentioned that you wanted to meet and make a contract with me, right?”

[Yes! I-I did say that…! If you don’t want to meet, you don’t have to!]

“Would you be willing to do that? I’m sorry, but I can’t go out due to personal reasons.”

Feeling relieved that it went smoothly, I was soon interrupted by the editor’s voice, causing me to freeze in my tracks.

“Personal reasons, huh? It must be because of your ‘identity,’ right?”

Caught off guard by the sharp question, I remained silent, and the fox goddess confiscated my phone.

“You are truly frustrating and clingy. If the other party comes out first, you should pounce on them, why do you keep giving chances?”

Seething with anger, the fox goddess spoke fiercely to the phone.

“From the dirty magic in your voice, you must be a witch, right? If you really want to meet, come find me. I won’t tell you to come see me through the main character, so come and straighten out that arrogant head of yours. Do you understand?”

[O-Okay!!!]

“Cut off, you dirty witch. Just hearing your voice makes my ears feel dirty.”

[I’m sorry!!!]

The editor hung up the phone like a new recruit receiving a scolding, and the fox goddess demanded praise from me.

“See that? The main character solved the problem in one go! Cherish the main character! Praise her! Admire her!”

…Solved the problem my ass, she just made things worse and is boasting about it?

She’s really no help in life.

I pulled out a frying pan from under the bed and gave her a blow instead of praise.

“Shut up!!!”

Bam!!!!

—–

At the moment when the fox goddess and Cheonho were arguing, in the succubus’s hideout.

With an expensive phone shattered in front of her, the succubus began to tremble all over.

“What should I do…? This time, it really seems screwed…”

Crunch… Crunch!

Nervously biting her nails, the succubus cautiously recalled what the transcendental being had said earlier.

“Cut off, you dirty witch. Just hearing your voice makes my ears feel dirty.”

“…He definitely called me a dirty witch, right? Then a transcendental being who hates witches, if I go to him like this, won’t I just be torn apart and killed?”

Imagining herself dying miserably under the merciless touch of the transcendental being, the succubus shook her head.

No. Even if I’m dragged to the fox den, if I keep my wits about me, I can survive, as long as I come up with a proper plan.

A brilliant plan to capture the transcendental being’s heart.

After finishing her thoughts, the succubus used magic to roughly repair the phone and contacted the vampire she was closest to.

“If this sister knows a brilliant way to save my life, wouldn’t she tell me?”

Although she had fallen from grace due to the betrayal of the Great Serae Goddess of the Celestial Realm, she could still be helpful in this desperate situation.

The succubus took a deep breath to calm herself before calling the vampire.

Beep – Beep – Beep – Click!

After a brief ringing tone, someone answered the phone.

“Hello?”

A voice so bright and high that it seemed too cheerful to be demonic.

And a powerful aura of sanctity that could purify just by hearing it.

Confirming the recipient, the succubus stiffened her face in despair.

One trial after another, after the transcendent being, now it’s the goddess Cresse?

Oh, great goddess, why do you bestow such a trial upon a mere succubus like me?

Am I truly a forsaken child?

“Should I just commit suicide? Honestly, it seems like the easiest thing to do right now.”

Taking a deep sigh, the succubus tried to sound as cheerful as possible when she asked the goddess a question.

“Is this perhaps the phone of Lady Roxy?”

“Roxy ‘Lady’? Hehe… Yes, that’s right. Why do you ask?”

“I need Lady Roxy’s help, would it be possible for you to switch for a moment, if you don’t mind?”

“Hmm…”

The goddess fell silent as if contemplating something, leaving the succubus anxiously worrying about her safety.

‘Did I do something wrong? I can’t think of anything! I spoke politely! I didn’t offend her! Why is she doing this to me?’

Lost in her thoughts, the succubus was about to hang up when the goddess slowly spoke up.

“I’m sorry, but Roxy is currently unconscious. She probably won’t be able to answer the phone.”

“Oh, I see. Then maybe later…”

About to hang up without hesitation, the goddess interrupted the succubus, as if to say there was no way.

“Judging by your urgency, would you like me to help instead of Roxy?”

“I don’t want help from someone I don’t know.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry. What can I assist you with?”

“No, it’s fine, you don’t have to help.”

Initially wary of the goddess’s offer, the succubus eventually sought her help out of fear of death.

“Then please tell me how to capture a woman’s heart. The most effective way.”

With a sinister smile, the goddess told her the most effective method.

“Make it so even a fool can understand. Whether it’s a transcendent being or a god, just keep trying and it’ll work out somehow.”

“Will this really solve everything?”

“Yes, of course!”

Flattery works wonders.

Chirp.

The goddess in the phone let out a small chuckle.
