A Weak Demon Lord Started Livestreaming in a Bottom-Tier Dungeon and Went Viral?! After Completely Crushing Rude S-Rank Explorers and Annoying Streamers, the Internet Erupted in Praise. Um, I'm Supposed to Be the Enemy of Humanity, You Know? - 28

Chapter 28: The Weak Demon Lord Goes Villain-Hunting

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

A dozen or so skeletons lined up in formation and pulled the triggers of the guns in their hands. In the next moment, magic circles unfolded at the muzzles. There was barely time to gasp before lead bullets were generated from those magic circles and flew straight forward. It wasn’t just one or two shots—it was a rain of bullets.

“Ooooh!! This is amazing!!”

“I made the number you asked for, but they’re still prototypes. They could misfire and cause injuries, so handle them carefully—”

“It’s fine!! See, I’m made of bones!! Even if it misfires, I won’t die!!”

“…Right, I forgot.”

『This is insane. Who was it that said, “Let’s give machine guns to skeletons”?』

『I didn’t think they’d actually make a machine gun.』

『Welp, this is the end of humanity guys! Lol』

The magical guns that Glen-san created, which didn’t use gunpowder, had astounding performance. Just judging by the reactions of the viewers watching the test firing via livestream, that much was clear.

“Fufufu. Now if I just construct a summoning magic circle for beast and dragon skeletons, and make a fusion & gigantification circle… Fufufu…”

“Hellooo, hope I’m not interrupting!! Wait, why does Olden-san have such an evil look on his face…?”

“E-excuse us…”

While I was grinning to myself, Erika-san and Konatsu-san arrived. Oops, I’d completely forgotten. Today was the day Erika-san was visiting Tokyo Dungeon for the livestream interview with Glen-san.

Apparently, her previous surprise interview with me had gone ridiculously viral, and she got a taste for it. After a short breather with some tea Al-san had kindly prepared, the interview with Glen-san and the livestream on Erika-san’s channel began.

“And with that—Glen-san, thank you for joining us today!!”

“Indeed. This is my first time being interviewed, so I’m a bit nervous, but I’ll do my best to meet expectations.”

Unlike the previous interview, this one wasn’t improvised. She had asked viewers in advance what they wanted to know and organized the questions into a notebook. A clear sign of growth—indeed. As I silently nodded approvingly from the background, the first question was thrown to Glen-san.

“Alright, let’s start with the first question. Are you currently seeing anyone? And are you romantically interested in men or women?”

“A romantic partner, is it? Then the answer is no. As for romantic interest, it depends on the person at the time.”

『YES!! I still have a chance!!』

『This is a once-in-a-lifetime request—please take my virginity.』

『The comment section is full of degenerates, lol.』

Some rather disturbing comments popped up, but Erika-san continued the interview unfazed.

“Next question: ‘The armor Glen-san wore during the recent raid on the Explorer School—was it self-made? And if so, would you be willing to sell it?’”

“Ah, yes, that armor was self-made. I wouldn’t mind selling it, but you really shouldn’t use it.”

“Ah, because it’s cursed, right?”

“Indeed. This goes for most of the weapons and armor I make, but they’re generally cursed. Just trying to use them will break your mind.”

The armor from the raid on the Explorer School—ah, that robot-like thing. It was definitely cool. It was cool, but as she herself said, it was cursed, so I had no intention of ever using it. At best, it might look nice displayed in a glass case.

“This one’s from me—why do you make so many cursed items in the first place…?”

“Hmm. It’s not that I want to make cursed weapons or armor, you know? It’s just that… Well, my bloodline is a bit unusual. We possess the trait of ‘Cursed Hand,’ which turns anything we touch into a cursed object.”

As she said this, Glen-san waved her hand toward the camera.

“T-turns anything you touch into a cursed object? Th-that sounds kind of dangerous.”

“Indeed. When I was young, I hated these hands that cursed everything I touched and even considered cutting them off. But Olden stopped me. He said, ‘That’s a gift, not a curse.’ Ever since then, I’ve tried to see it that way.”

“Wait, Olden-san said something like that?”

“What’s with that doubtful look, Erika-san?”

“I just… I just can’t picture Olden-san saying something so wholesome…”

“How rude!!”

Goodness! Does Erika-san really think I’m just some total flake?

“Ahem. Next question. Oh, you don’t have to answer this one if you’re not comfortable. I also found it pretty shocking myself.”

“Hm? What kind of question is it?”

“Uh… ‘Please tell us the length of your dick.'”

“Th-that one… I’d rather not answer.”

Glen-san blushed and looked away shyly.

『This beautiful woman actually has a dick, huh…』

『The world is full of wonders.』

『I honestly think she’s cuter than Erika.』

“Hey, cut that out!”

Erika-san glared fiercely toward the camera, veins bulging.

Yikes.

“…Alright, next question.”

“Y-yes.”

“Why did you create the Holy Sword: Grand EX—or rather, the ‘Sword That’ll Absolutely Kill Olden’ Sword?”

“Hmm? That’s obvious. To absolutely kill Olden, of course.”

『Fair enough, lol』

『The way the question was worded was the problem haha』

Erika-san cleared her throat and rephrased the question.

“Ahem. Then why do you harbor such intense murderous intent toward Olden-san? Do you hate him?”

“No, I consider Olden a friend. He says tactless things sometimes, but not enough to hate him for.”

“U-uhhh…”

She was clearly bewildered that someone could consider a person a friend yet still want to kill them. Truth be told, I also didn’t know why she had made a sword called the ‘Sword That’ll Absolutely Kill Olden’ Sword, so I was curious myself.

“Well, where should I begin… Olden is—”

“Mmm!?”

“W-whoa, h-hey! Don’t just shout like that out of nowhere, Olden-san!”

“Ah, sorry. I just spotted an explorer littering through shared vision with a skeleton patrolling the dungeon.”

To think someone would litter in the newly cleaned-up Tokyo Dungeon—unforgivable. I needed to deal with them personally!!

“Excuse me while I go eliminate a scumbag!!”

“You just want an excuse to test fire the magic gun on a human, don’t you?”

“Hahaha, don’t be ridiculous!!”

Still, littering villains must be punished. Oh, would you look at that—by sheer coincidence, I happened to have one of Glen-san’s magical guns on hand. Whistling a cheerful tune, I set off on a villain hunt.

―――――――――――――――――――――

Afterword

The armor Glen wore during the Explorer School raid was more like a powered suit than traditional armor. It’s built for mobility, so it doesn’t have weapons, but it does come with boosters and the like. Its top speed might reach Mach 5.
