‘I am the enchanting and malicious Muze!’ (Muze)

Muze puffed out her tiny chest and declared this with all her might.

“Yes, cut. Muze-chan, I am sorry. That was not meant as a rallying cry for you.” (Mira)

‘Gah! I prepared by watching the previous videos…’ (Muze)

Muze collapsed in dismay at Mira’s correction. I comforted her as she struggled to stand. I had never imagined she had been practicing based on the previous preview.

“Mira, shall we leave it as is? It would surely be entertaining.” (Kouta)

“Even if it includes my line?” (Mira)

“Yes.” (Kouta)

Beside me, Haruka and Mira were plotting mischievously. They intended to exploit innocent Muze to increase viewership. Well, my bloody combat footage alone might make broadcast impossible, so this was understandable. She did no harm to humans.

“Then, shall we proceed with the battle scene?” (Kouta)

“Yes.” (Emilia)

‘Understood!’ (Muze)

Muze climbed onto my head, wrapping her arms around it as she declared.

‘Master, go!’ (Muze)

“Kouta, you have no sense of mastery at all!” (Haruka)

“That comment is forbidden.” (Kouta)

Muze delighted in running faster, so I accelerated slightly. Her joyful cries from atop my head elevated my spirits.

‘Hmm! Goblin spotted on the right! Master, charge! …No, that is wrong! It is on the left!!’ (Muze)

Apologies, I had misstepped. I steadied Muze as she nearly fell and returned her atop my head. Scratching my cheek, I adjusted direction.

“Ah, my strength has drained…” (Kouta)

“That pair alone can draw the audience’s attention.” (Haruka)

Even while defeating goblins, Muze remained high-spirited, squealing with excitement. Perhaps she was experiencing a rollercoaster thrill. I, however, did not enjoy such sensations. Being on the third floor, I ensured to call reinforcements when needed. Emilia occasionally overdid it, so Haruka regulated those situations. Since there was also the timing of the ‘dance,’ we had to consider breaks to prevent unnecessary mana expenditure.

Muze had practiced the dance diligently and even had a better sense of rhythm than I. Sofia, due to the limitations of her armor, danced the most awkwardly.

‘Found it!’ (Muze)

Though it would have been faster for us to collect the drops ourselves, I deliberately allowed Muze to do it to film her enjoyment. She scurried about, collecting items and bouncing back to me each time. I praised her with a gentle stroke on her head after each retrieval. Even Emilia brought an item and offered her head for praise, which caused some difficulty. I patted her kindly, only for Muze to protest.

‘That is not correct! Like this! Kyaa! Kyaa! Kyaa!’ (Muze)

Muze preferred being petted vigorously. She moved her neck under the palm of my hand as I stroked her.

‘Phew.’ (Muze)

Muze wiped her forehead, appearing thoroughly accomplished. Emilia once again offered her head, so I gave a light flick to her forehead. Emilia protested, and Muze jumped in agreement, creating a bizarre scene.

“Discrimination! I demand to be treated properly as a lady!” (Emilia)

‘Indeed! Indeed! I am a lady! Kyaa! Kyaa! Kyaa!’ (Muze)

What are we going to do with this?
