Chapter 73: Catching Plenty
"Big brother, that’s not the escalator, you know?"
"Yeah. I figured we’d buy some clothes too."
"Are they cute?"
"I guess so."
Top Chat: This little sister didn’t even hesitate before asking "Are they cute?"
Top Chat: Prioritizing cuteness over practicality lol
Top Chat: But wait, Elf-san buying cute clothes for herself… this is actually kind of moving
Top Chat: I have no idea what he means, but I agree
"I’m not wearing them."
"Eh?"
"They’re for Kyoka."
"W-wait, I don’t need them!"
Top Chat: Counterattack!
Top Chat: Attack?
"Kyoka, you didn’t bring enough spare clothes, right? We should buy some."
"Ugh… but you already bought me a swimsuit, I can’t ask for more…"
"It’s fine. Misora and the others said they’d give me half their part-time pay."
Top Chat: Part-time work lol
Top Chat: Giving her half? That’s pretty generous!
Top Chat: Honestly, I thought it was unpaid labor
Top Chat: Yeah, they couldn’t cover costs for the Kirishi collab either
Top Chat: If they’re giving her money, maybe it’s out of their own pocket
Top Chat: Oh, right—if they don’t run it through the agency, that works
"So yeah, about fifty bucks will come in, don’t worry about it."
Top Chat: Nnnnnnnn?
Top Chat: Nnnn?
Top Chat: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn???
"…Am I wrong?"
Top Chat: Ah, she really doesn’t know the market rate
Top Chat: Well, apparently Reverse God lowers her rates so she can do more shoots…
Top Chat: But even then, since she’s upper tier, if the video takes more than two full days of filming…
Top Chat: At worst, it’s six figures in yen?
Wow.
"We’ll buy a ton, then."
"Ahhh! No, I don’t need that much! Even if I have all those suspenders, I’ll never use them!"
Top Chat: Suspenders lol
Top Chat: She totally just grabbed them because they were hanging right there
Top Chat: I’m dying of laughter
Top Chat: Well, at least if camera repairs rack up, she’s covered now
"Nfuuu~"
"Ahhh… I ended up getting three outfits…"
Top Chat: Elf-san is so cute
Top Chat: Honestly, glad to see her satisfied lol
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan, don’t overthink it, just accept them
"Yeah, that’s the perfect use for easy money."
"Big brother, money is important, you know!"
"But we’ve got room to spare now, right?"
"Well… yeah."
"Then it’s fine. I just want you to keep smiling, Kyoka."
Top Chat: Uh-oh? Are we allowed to be listening to this?
Top Chat: Um… is the stream about to end?
Top Chat: If you need to cut it here, we won’t mind, seriously
"It’s not that heavy of a story. We were just poor back then."
Top Chat: Ohhh
Top Chat: Poor Elf
Top Chat: If it’s just that, then okay
"And so, I sold myself."
Top Chat: Wait
Top Chat: You can’t just drop a liver blow like that when our guard’s down
Top Chat: Hold up, sold yourself? What country are we talking here?
"In Japan."
Top Chat: Uh, isn’t that something we should report…?
Top Chat: Slave Elf
"I wasn’t a slave. It was indentured service."
Top Chat: No, but… indentured service? What century are we in?
Top Chat: Edo Elf
Top Chat: Please, a few more details
"I wanted to build up a record—"
"Big brother, no."
"Hm?"
"You’re talking too much."
"…I see. Then I’ll stop."
Top Chat: Ah ah ah ah
Top Chat: Ughhh… now I’m curious…
Top Chat: But yeah, that might get too specific, so fair enough…
Top Chat: Still, this is Elf we’re talking about
Top Chat: Are things okay for you now?
"These days I’m fine. When I was in college, I had enough leeway that I could hand over my body for a summer and not worry."
"I’m not struggling to make a living either."
Top Chat: Happily ever after
Top Chat: Yeah… everyone has their own history
