Chapter 2: Scheming

While lightly tapping on the whiteboard in the conference room, the male producer said,
“Let’s take down the legend.”

On the whiteboard was a photo of Misaki, her eyes covered by a fox mask.

The male streamer—Gou—looked displeased.
“Masahiro, was it? Against someone who supposedly beat that guy, do we even have a chance?”

The producer gave a small laugh and picked up a board marker.
On the whiteboard, he wrote the words “Water” and “Sake” in large letters.

“People call her a legend, but in the end, she’s just human.”
As he said this, he drew a big circle around “Water.”
“You drink this.”

Next, he lightly tapped the word “Sake” with the marker.
“This is our opponent!”

The corner of Gou’s mouth lifted.
“I see. In that case—the one who wins is me.”

The producer grinned and lifted a bottle of high-end liquor from the table beside him.
“If she doesn’t accept the match, nothing moves forward. So I prepared this as the prize.
But if we win—this will be our victory drink.”

As he said this, he leaned in close to Gou’s face and locked eyes with him.

“If you win—we’ll be… no, you will be the legend.”
