While we were on the way to the location that the convoy was supposed to fly through, Ries came to me with Renata in tow while I was on the bridge.
"Boss? Can we talk for a moment?"
I turned back to raise an eyebrow at her, "Hmm? What's up?"
"I heard from Mara… That Renata transformed into your clothes and you're wearing her?"
"Ah… Yeah. I am," I admitted, poking my chest with a finger. "Not like I have much of a choice since she pretty much ate all my clothes. Then again, she could just transform herself into different designs to begin with so there was no problem."
A tendril popped out from in between my chest to wave at Ries.
My eldritch maid that was beside her puffed up her chest, "See? I told you I was telling the truth! Now do you believe me?"
Ries went over to me and leaned forward to narrow her eyes at my shirt.
Renata's face appeared on my chest and scowled at her, "What are you staring at me for? I only want Daddy to look at me, I'm not interested in you."
"You're still alive?!"
"Huh? Why are you so surprised? Didn't I already show you something like this with the iron bar you first made?"
Renata blinked, "Oh… Right. I forgot about that. So… You're being Boss's clothes right now? Do you feel uncomfortable, Boss?"
I shrugged, "Not exactly. I didn't even notice the change until she told me about it so I would say I'm definitely not uncomfortable at least?"
She leaned closer and started poking my chest. Any other time and I would think she was trying to grope my boobs but I know that she was only trying to feel the shirt I was wearing so I didn't say anything.
"This… Really feels like the real thing… Can you feel this, Renata?" Ries asked, still poking on my left boob.
The original Renata behind her scowled, "Yes, I can feel you poking me. Is that enough?"
Ries then started rubbing her fingers along the top of my chest, "This… Really feels like the real thing! It even stretched too?"
Renata puffed up her chest, "Hmm, hmm~ Of course! There's no way I will make Daddy feel uncomfortable while wearing me!"
My Maochatte then slid her hand down and started rubbing my boob, running her fingers over my nipple and giving my boob a squeeze.
"So… Soft… Ahh… So nice…"
"Of course! I am the best-- Hey!! You're just groping Daddy now!!"
Ries jerked away as though she just woke up from a dream, "Ah!! I'm sorry Boss!! It just felt so nice that I unconsciously… Ahem… Sorry."
I chuckled, "It's ok, you can grope my boobs whenever you want, Ries. Just like how I can do this~"
I reached up and gave her ass cheek a playful pinch, causing her to let out a yelp of surprise.
So cute~
Ries quickly composed herself again. "Ahem… Anyway… I came here today to let you know that there might be something I want to try."
"Hmmm? Something that you want to try? What is it? Does it involve Renata as well?"
"That's right. I was wondering if Boss would like to try the live streaming thing? We could attach the camera to your clothes or something since it's Renata and she can protect you and the camera at the same time!"
"Live stream thing? Oh, you mean to record and stream our Merc activities and release it on the GalaStream network?"
My Maochatte nodded her head enthusiastically, "That's right~ Since we're going to do this job for them, we could start from there?"
"Hmm… But if I'm not wrong, we'll be intercepting a ship convoy, won't that mean it would be a space battle?"
"Yeah! We can stream the space battle as well! And we'll need to board the supply ship to get their stuff too, right? Then we can stream that too!"
"Is that alright though? I mean… Client confidentiality and all that?"
Ries scratched her cheek, "Ah, even though I said stream, we can record it and then edit the footage later. Maybe in some other jobs, we could do a live stream but for this one we can do a recording instead."
"Would this even be a good idea though? I feel like this might be more troublesome than it's worth."
She tilted her head, "What do you mean, Boss?"
"Like… We not only have to record it… But do you know how to do video editing, stitching the parts together, adding effects and making it actually interesting as well? Because I'm pretty sure that a raw recording of our work isn't going to be that interesting, right?"
Ries grimaced, "That is true… Umm… We can always just hire someone to do it for us though?"
"Perhaps… But that would also mean involving a third party in our work which may result in our private stuff getting leaked. I would prefer to do it ourselves if we can help it."
Renata raised her hand, "I can try to do it if you want, Daddy? I am familiar with the theory behind video editing at least so I might be able to do it."
"Well… I'm not really sure if this streaming thing is a good idea to begin with anyway… So let's just do a trial run if you really want to."
Ries nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! It would definitely help get our name out there, Boss!! Then it would also mean we would get better paying jobs as well!"
I raised an eyebrow at her, "Is that how it works? I thought our Merc ranks were what would help us get better paying jobs?"
"Well… There's that too, but some clients specifically look for Mercs to hire because of their popularity in the streaming space! "
"What kind of clients are those?"
"Mmm… There are celebrities for example who might want to hire a well known Mercenary group as a way to advertise themselves too. But I will admit that those clients who would prefer anonymity would not consider Mercs who are well known since it would put them at risk instead. But those types of clients are usually doing something illegal anyway and I would say we wouldn't want to get involved with those kinds of people, right?"
I shrugged, "I'm not really that familiar with the market for that so I'm just going to take your word for it."
Ries nodded, "Trust me Boss!! Once we go viral, we'll get good paying contracts and sponsorships!!"
I paused before slowly narrowing my eyes at Ries, "This… The sponsorships… That's what you're really after, aren't you, Ries? We make a name for ourselves and you're going to approach the weapon manufacturers to get them to send you weapons or something?"
She poked her fingers together, "Ah… Nyahaha… As expected of Bosss… You figured it out…"
"Well yeah, you are my lover after all, it would make sense that I know what you want."
She blushed and held her cheeks shyly, "Nyaa… Not here, Boss… You're going to make me purr…"
So cute~
I decided to bring the conversation back on topic, "Well… Are there any cons to getting sponsorships though? Because the last thing I want is for us to end up getting beholden to some corporation and we end up losing our freedom because of it."
Ries grinned and gestured to Renata, "That's where she comes in, Boss! Any contracts or offers, I will just have Renata screen through them to make sure they are legit and they will benefit us the most before we accept them!"
I raised an eyebrow at Renata, "You agreed to this?"
My eldritch maid nodded, "Seeing that I have access to the GalaNet and I will be able to search up any information quickly, I should be able to spot any discrepancies and attempts at taking advantage of us, Daddy."
Ries added, "Plus! If we score sponsorships from those arms manufacturers, they might even give us early access to experimental weapons or even let us custom order weapons!! We won't lose out on that!"
I turned back to Ries, "But… If I'm not wrong… Even high ranking Mercs could also get stuff like that right? If our Merc rank is high enough, we could get all of that too without needing to rely on clout?"
Ries made a face, "That is true, but I believe that it would take longer to get there using that route as compared to this. I'm fine with whichever way Boss wants to do it though!"
I shrugged, "We can just try the streaming way first I guess. I would be lying if I said I wasn't at least interested in how that side of the GalaNet works and it could be fun too. If it becomes a problem, we'll immediately shut it down, how about that?"
"Yes!! It's a deal then, Boss!! Then let's go Renata! I have some cameras I need you to replicate!"
I watched as both of them left the room to head back to Ries's workshop, leaving me alone with the blue haired Renata who was occupying the pilot seat this entire time.
She turned back and smiled at me, "Daddy? Can I have some honey now?"
…
Of course.
