Chapter 6: The Dungeon Streamer Interviews the Demon Lord

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Wow, you must have gone through a lot of trouble to come all the way here, didn’t you?”

“N-No, it’s only a five-minute walk from the station…”

Erika Kuon and Konatsu Sawachi couldn’t fully grasp the situation they were in. Just a few minutes after entering the dungeon—and right when they had decided to retreat due to lack of preparation—they ran into their objective: the talking skeleton.

So far, so good. It was odd that the skeleton was dressed like a carpenter, but that part didn’t really matter much. Erika, feeling a crushing pressure she couldn’t put into words, nervously and fearfully explained her wish to interview the skeleton.

The skeleton claimed to be a Demon Lord. If things went badly, they might be killed—but Erika still wanted to go viral and grab everyone’s attention.

Human desire truly is terrifying.

After hearing Erika’s request, the skeleton responded cheerfully.

“Sounds fun!! Oh, by all means, come to my room. The shortcut is this way!”

In a shocking turn of events, he accepted without hesitation. They turned right, then left, navigating corridor after corridor until they completely lost track of where they were. Eventually, they entered a small room. It was—like something straight out of a Japanese otaku’s room, filled with figures and plastic models, decorated with a sense of charm.

When they asked for permission and began filming, the comment section exploded.

『What is this room lol』

『Good news: the Demon Lord is one of us.』

『He looks scary, but suddenly I feel super close to him lol』

Despite his eerie skeletal appearance, the majority of viewers reacted positively to him.

“A-Ah, um… This room is…?”

“Impressive, isn’t it? There was this hidden room no one knew about, so I decorated it with souvenirs my friend—who used to work in the dungeon back when we lived in the demon realm—brought back.”

“I-I see…”

“My favorite is this figure of the heroine from Magical Girl Majika☆Majiya. She’s adorable, isn’t she? Actually, my friend told me if I ever had a chance to visit Japan, I absolutely had to see it for myself. But unfortunately, you can’t watch TV in a dungeon, and I’ve been struggling with whether or not to subscribe to a streaming service—”

The skeleton went on and on, overwhelming Erika into silence. Meanwhile, Konatsu, silently filming, started to relax—finding the skeleton far more approachable than expected. Just then, two cups of tea were placed in front of them.

“Please, help yourselves.”

“Ah, th-thank you…”

The tea was served by a young demon girl dressed in a maid outfit. With sky-blue hair and eyes, she was a beautiful girl. She was shorter than Erika, but with a larger chest. The comment section went into overdrive.

『Demon girl waifu ACQUIRED!!』

『Holy crap. She’s too cute.』

『Wait, someone actually tried to hurt this adorable demon girl?』

『I wanna be stepped on and whipped by her until I’m covered in bruises, and then have her show me kindness so I fall for her and become her obedient puppet.』‘’

『Someone report this pervert.』

Erika frowned at the comments praising another girl, but quickly cheered up when she noticed her channel gaining hundreds of new subscribers within minutes.

“Well then, um, I’d like to start the interview soon…”

“Oh, pardon me. I tend to ramble on when it’s about things I love.”

“I-I get that…”

“Hey, Konatsu!! We’re live right now—you can’t just blurt things out!!”

Konatsu muttered absentmindedly, prompting a scolding from Erika. With a light cough, Erika returned to the main topic.

“First, let me introduce myself. I’m Erika Kuon, a livestreamer on MeeTube who broadcasts dungeon content. And this nervous wreck here is my camerawoman, Konatsu Sawachi.”

“H-Hello… it’s nice to meet you…”

“Nice to meet you too. I’m Olden, the Demon Lord who recently became this dungeon’s Dungeon Master. Please feel free to call me Ol-chan!”

His introduction was polite, somewhat casual, and oddly endearing. Erika and Konatsu then turned their gaze to the demon girl in the maid outfit. She had been quietly standing behind Olden but clicked her tongue when she noticed their attention. 

It was a clear sign of hostility directed toward the two of them. Olden seemed to be the only exception in her eyes. Having fought many monsters before, Erika actually found this kind of baseless hostility oddly comforting.

The demon girl finally spoke.

“I don’t speak with humans.”

“Now, now, Al-san. Don’t say that. It’s a special interview. Let’s enjoy it, shall we?”

“I am Olden-sama’s maid, Al. I’m only greeting you because it’s Olden-sama’s order.”

“Haha, sorry about that. She seems a bit tense too.”

Looking down at humans with the disdain one might reserve for garbage, the demon girl—now identified as Al—still obediently followed her master’s words. Their master-servant dynamic sparked the imagination of Japan’s otaku audience.

『Someone please write a pure love doujinshi about the skeleton and the demon girl.』

『You do realize we have a rule in Japan: the one who suggests it has to make it.』

『Fine, guess I’ll do it for the next Summer Comiket.』

As the comments grew rowdier, Erika sensed chaos brewing and flashed a bright smile at the camera.

“Well then, everyone!! If you have any questions for Olden-san, feel free to flood the comment section!!”

At her cue, comments poured in at a staggering rate. It was more than Erika had ever seen in all her previous streams—almost dizzying.But Erika was a professional at her field. She sifted through the avalanche of messages, picking out ones that even she was curious about, and began asking Olden on behalf of the viewers.

“First question—who exactly are you? Where did you come from? And what exactly is a dungeon?”

She jumped straight to the core. Humanity only understood dungeons as mysterious places that yielded rare materials and resources. They knew dungeons had existed since ancient times, but no one knew what they really were—nor the true nature of the Demon Lords who waited at their deepest levels.

No one even knew how they were built, or where the monsters within came from. Erika’s question was driven by a desire to understand that mystery, and Olden…

“Oh my. That’s quite the difficult question to start with.”

“If you can’t answer, you don’t have to force it…”

“No, it’s not that. It’s just… It’s difficult to put into words, but let’s take it step by step.”

He began explaining, without hesitation.
