After Accidentally Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn Off Her Dungeon Stream, I Began to Go Viral as a Legendary Explorer ～ The Introverted Me Accidentally Dominating with My Mysterious Skill 'Ignore Rules' - Chapter 21: The Unexpected Intruder Appears

Chapter 21: The Unexpected Intruder Appears

“Wow…!”

When I confirmed the status screen prompt that asked, “Do you want to create the Red Dragon’s Extreme Magic Sword?” a truly divine sword materialized before my eyes.

Most of the blade was painted in a deep red, and there were golden lines applied in various places. If I wasn’t imagining it, the whole sword seemed to be enveloped in a green aura, giving off an atmosphere quite befitting a magic blade.

“I-I really made the Extreme Magic Sword…”

As I swung the sword around to test it out, Miyu commented with a somewhat astonished look on her face.

“I took you at your word, Tsukushi-kun, but I doubt anyone else has made that sword in their explorations, you know?”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah. The Red Dragon is a rare appearance and it’s extremely powerful. People probably feel it’s too wasteful to use such precious materials to create the Extreme Magic Sword.”

“Are you serious…?”

Though I had confidently crafted this sword, I was starting to worry that I might have made an irreparable mistake. Naturally, there were no do-overs when it came to weapon creation. Once materials and gold were used, they were basically gone for good.

“Hmm, let’s see…”

After pondering for a few seconds, Miyu suddenly exclaimed, “That’s it!”

“In that case, Tsukushi Kirishima, how about doing a live stream where you say, ‘I’ve crafted the Extreme Magic Sword!’? This topic will definitely be a hit!”

“Wait… Seriously?”

“Yep! Why not make it go viral and convert it into some money? We’ve still got time before Goyama arrives!”

“Well, that’s true, I guess.”

When I nodded in agreement, Miyu cheerfully thrust her right arm into the air, exclaiming, “Yay!”

She then started tapping away at her own status screen and changed into a long, silver wig and a frilly white dress.

This was none other than Miru Ayatsuki—the persona I had seen many times on video streaming sites.

I had wondered how she managed to prepare such an outfit, but it made sense—it was equipment for use inside the dungeon.

It seemed she had also made significant adjustments to her face to play “Miru Ayatsuki.”

I might not know much about beauty due to being a socially awkward virgin, but I could see that the lines around her eyes were sharply defined, and her skin was glowing with a more radiant whiteness.

Even without makeup, I think Miyu is cute, but makeup really is amazing.

She had become a completely different person within the bounds of not being too flashy—utterly adorable.

Adding the silver wig to the mix, she was indistinguishable from Miyu Ayatsuki. It was an impressive transformation.

“Fufu~n♪”

Miyu placed her index finger on her lips and grinned mischievously, perhaps interpreting my silence in her own way.

“What’s the matter, Tsukushi-kun♪? Are you captivated by my beauty?”

“Uh… well, yeah. I think you look very cute.”

“Heh.”

Oh no, I messed up. Being socially awkward and inexperienced in love, I had no idea how to respond in situations like this. I ended up complimenting her directly.

“No, no, no, you got it wrong. I’m not saying you’re cute because you put on makeup. You’re cute even without it, so don’t misunderstand.”

“Ehhh!”

Miyu’s face turned bright red as she raised her voice in surprise.

“Fufufu~n. Of course. You think I’m cute too, right, Tsukushi-kun?”

“Y-yeah…”

“Good on you for admitting it! But… can you go over there for a moment?”

Wondering what she was up to, I followed Miyu’s finger pointing at empty space.

“Huh? Sure, I guess…”

“T-thanks!”

Miyu dashed about ten meters away from me, covered her face with both hands, and began to wriggle her feet.

“This is bad, so bad… Why is my heart pounding like this? That’s totally unfair…”

“…??”

I didn’t quite understand, but I could clearly hear her muttering even from a distance.

★

In any case, preparations were complete.

Miyu usually sets her smartphone on a special stand for recording, and we positioned ourselves within the frame of the camera.

Of course, the range captured by a single smartphone is limited, so it seemed like she was using multiple devices to film from different angles. As expected of a popular streamer, she appeared to put a lot of effort into this aspect.

“Alright, let’s start the stream‼”

Just as Miyu raised her voice to say that—

“Hey, you…!”

—The worst possible moment was met with the worst possible man—Kento Goyama appeared on the scene.
