“Can I have a minute, please?”
“Uh?”
Seitaro cautiously opened his mouth as he waited for Maia’s reaction.
“This is a company that provides consulting services for management strategies. Our job is to gather and analyze the necessary information, formulate feasible plans, and link them to sales–in other words, to be the ‘military strategist’ and ‘general counsel’ for the company.”
“Huh……?”
Seitaro looked at Maia, who looked as if she wasn’t quite sure what was going on, and coughed, then said again.
“In other words,…… consultants are in the business of dealing with companies. It is not our job to gather followers for the goddess or to maintain her dignity.”
“…………”
Maia freezes with a surprised look on her face.
“The less of ranking? Channels? I’m not an expert in getting more views or subscribers for your videos. Wouldn’t it be faster to find a company that caters to Vtubers?”
“Wait a minute!”
Maia interrupted Seitaro.
“No, …… that’s not what I’m asking you to do.”
“What do you mean by ……?”
“As a result of the decrease in the number of …… followers, the …… offerings have also decreased and, how can I say it, the …… money… …has run out. ……”
Her voice gradually became quieter as she spoke in a mumbled voice. Maia looks embarrassed and turns her head down.
So, you’re embarrassed now? While thinking, Seitaro sighs.
“If you are looking for a loan, please go to the bank, not us.”
“No, no!”
Maia looks up in a panic. However, she immediately turns her face away in embarrassment.
Then, with a great deal of fidgeting, she opened her mouth.
“It’s not like I didn’t anything to get money! I am one of the goddesses who created the world. I have taken many steps to win back my followers! But ……”
“You mean the money plan didn’t work out?”
I see, you are talking about business.
If it is a business consultation, it is certainly not unrelated to consulting.
Except for the fact that the management style of …… is far beyond my imagination.
“By the way, what’s the method?”
“That …… Goddess Maia goods ……”
“And?”
Maia looks down.
“No, no! I didn’t mean to make it to be flirtatious, I just wanted my followers to feel a little closer to their goddess,……!”
“I didn’t say anything…”
Maia fell silent, her face bright red, and she slumped down.
After all that flirtatious and lamentable talk, it would certainly be embarrassing if she explained all.
I think she’s not very smart, …….
“…… By the way, what kind of goodies?”
“Well, ……, acrylic key chains and clear file, illustrated towels, large posters and pillowcases, and ……”
“Otaku goods?”
Seitaro, who had imagined a more religious product, unintentionally raised his voice and tsked.
“That’s otaku goods! So you’were planning on selling it in Akihabara!!”
“Because!! .. I read it in the book wisdom that…. this is the standard for goddess goods…”
“So you we’re asking questions on internet and that was the answer you got?”
Seitaro feels mildly dizzy and holds his head in his hands.
In what world is there a goddess who makes her own otaku goods? ……
I feel like she should aim for idol or something like that rather than religion.
“Because ……!”
Maia says, a little teary-eyed.
“I’ve never done any business or …… made any money before, and ……! I’m a …… goddess of light and order!”
As she said this, large tears spilled from Maia’s eyes.
Unintentionally startled, Seitaro quietly looked at Maia’s face.
“Just because I’m at the bottom of the rankings,……I don’t have any followers,……everyone makes fun of me,……even though I’m the eldest daughter. ……”
“…………”
“Because I don’t have the money,…… I can’t have a big event and I can’t gather people,…… so I decided to raise money by selling merchandise,…… So ……”
Maia exclaims, wiping away tears roughly.
“That’s why I came here to …… another world! To find someone who can help me through this crisis and save me!”
A tightly knit mouth. A serious expression.
Regardless of the content of the …… story, He can tell that she was seriously in dire straits.
“After doing a lot of research, I found out that in order to do business, you need the skills of ‘bussiness strategy ‘. And that the people who have those skills are consultants.”
Maia stood up and leaned forward with her hands on the table.
Suddenly, Seitaro’s face was drawn closer to Maia’s and he froze.
“I don’t want to lose! I don’t want to end up being made a fool of! I want to remind them of the prestige of a goddess! I want to prove that I am not a wacko! ……, please, consultant! Please come with me to my world and …… help me!”
“…………”
Seitaro remained silent and stared at Maia’s face.
I understood why this self-proclaimed goddess had come to the consulting firm. It was probably because she wanted to do something about her own business, as she had first mentioned something about “Business Strategy”.
(Well, …… what should I do? ……)
