Chapter 37: Saito

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

『Hello everyone! It’s time for Ururun’s D-Tuber News. Today, we’ll be talking about the recent hot topic—Japan’s sixth S-Class Awakened, Piroane Saito-san, who just made her D-Tuber debut!』

『Piroane Saito-san, the S-Class Awakened announced by the D-Ministry on [xx Month] and [xxDay]. Even in Japan, where internationalization of citizens is progressing steadily, it’s rare to see such a beautiful white woman. Where exactly does her bloodline come from? A true mystery!』

『Now then, Piroane Saito-san did a live stream from the Kichijoji Dungeon, and—believe it or not—she cleared all the way up to the 30th floor, the last floor where communication is possible, in the blink of an eye before ending the live broadcast. Later, she uploaded a recorded video, revealing that she had reached the 50th floor, shattering the previous official record.』

『Incredible. Beautiful and strong. She’s something to aspire to.』

『Another intriguing point is that the person recording her seemed to be none other than Jiro Hasegawa-san, also known as “Dungeon Ojisan,” who was registered as an S-Class Awakened before her.』

『He never appeared on camera, but there were several moments when Piroane called his name. While reaching the 30th floor might still be manageable for normal awakened cameramen, making it to the 50th floor is impossible for an ordinary cameraman. It’s highly likely that it was Jiro Hasegawa-san himself that had been accompanying her. But in that case, was this feat purely Piroane Saito-san’s ability, or did she have support from Dungeon Ojisan? The answer is unclear.』

『Either way, having more S-Class Awakened and more beautiful D-Tubers is a good thing. Ururun will continue to support her future activities!』

『That’s all for today. See you in the next news update! This was Ururun!』

『The sixth one has arrivedーーーーーー‼︎』

『Piroane Saito LOLOLOLOL』

『Don’t say ‘LOLOLOL’ after writing someone’s name.』

『But Saito? Why Saito?』

『No idea. Blame her parents.』

『No, you should be thanking the Saito. They made this beautiful S-Class Awakened a legit Japanese citizen.』

『Facts.』

『Thank you, Saito.』

『You’re welcome.』

『We’re not thanking you.』

『Definitely not.』

『Must be a different Saito.』

『Saito is one of the top 20 most common surnames in Japan, right?』

『Which means, statistically speaking, there might be a Saito among us.』

『Wait… Does that mean Piroane is technically my daughter?』

『No, it doesn’t.』

『Absolutely not.』

『Hold on, what if she got married and took her husband’s surname?』

『So… Piroane is technically my wife?』

『No, she’s not.』

『Piroane-sama is obviously a divine, pure, and untouched goddess. I’ll kill anyone who says otherwise.』

『Whoa, she already has a cult following.』

『Scary, scary.』

『She naturally gives off a haughty vibe, so she seems like the perfect archetype to be “taught a lesson” kind of a girl.』

『I get it.』

『I totally get it.』

『Though, in reality, most people would end up getting “taught a lesson” by her instead!』

“Ahahaha! What is this? This is hilarious!”

Piroane Saito was happily ego-searching on her smartphone.

Amazing. I never ego-search.

The most I did was check how people react to Dungeon Convenience Store ever since the whole Dungeon Ojisan thing started trending. Piroane seemed to be extremely pleased with the results of her video stream. Apparently, she liked how well-received it was. I figured there would be not just positive comments but also negative ones or even inappropriate remarks, but she didn’t seem to care.

“They just can’t take their eyes off me. How utterly adorable.”

That seemed to be her takeaway. What an amazing mentality. Or maybe to be precise she might not even be paying attention to what viewers were actually saying in the first place. If she saw them all as beings beneath her, then whatever they said wouldn’t matter at all.

In that sense, the fact that she listened to me meant I must at least be someone within her level, right? When I was reincarnated, I was called Gobujirou. After becoming a dragon, I was known as Dorajirou. To Piroane, perhaps I was someone she had “kept an eye on.” That said, expecting me to feel grateful just because she had simply “acknowledged my existence” was absurd. I saw no reason to change how I treated her.

Oh, and as for why she was called “Saito,” that was because when she applied for Japanese citizenship, Minister Niitaka decided her surname himself without her input. Apparently, he chose it by rolling a dice. Considering he made up everything else about her records in just one night, it was understandable that he didn’t have the time to pick a proper name.

Besides, Piroane herself didn’t seem to mind.

“This streaming thing is fun. I’ll do it again next time!”

Piroane’s combat style, despite her appearance, was that of a brawler. With magic-forged brass knuckles, she crushed monsters with her fists in a display that was both… Spectacular and grotesque.

“I won’t help you the next time you do a livestream.”

“Hah? Why not?”

“If I’m there, you won’t be able to properly showcase your true strength. To prove your worth as an S-Rank awakened, it would be better if you went solo next time.”

She had been shouting “Jiro, Jiro” so much during the stream that my existence as her cameraman was completely exposed. It couldn’t be helped. A standard filming drone simply couldn’t keep up with her movements. She would just have to get used to handling this herself.

“You expect me to handle both the filming and video editing all by myself⁉︎”

“You left the editing to Mio, didn’t you? She has her own channel to manage, so you shouldn’t rely on her too much.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

“With your abilities, learning how to edit videos should be easy.”

Even if she was a former goddess, her natural aptitude was absurdly high.

“That’s not the issue! Jiro! Find me someone to serve me!”

“Absolutely not!”

“Mghhh!”

Ding-dong!

“Ah, so you two are here? I brought donuts!”

“Well done, Mio!”

Mio had come over.

“Um, I can do the video editing if you want?”

“Mio, you are kind. I like you!”

“Ahaha.”

“Mio, don’t spoil her.”

“It’s fine. Mio belongs to me now.”

“She’s not.”

“Ahaha, we are like a family somehow.”

Hearing Mio say that, I frowned, while Piroane, emboldened, declared, “Then that means I can act even more spoiled!”

Well, Mio looked like she was having a great time. If this was how she saw things, then I suppose my life was going well enough too.

Chapter 38: Characters Appearing Thus Far

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

- - - Jiro Hasegawa

The protagonist of this story. He was a regular working adult in Japan, employed at a certain company, until one day he was reincarnated as a dungeon monster. After steadily evolving multiple times, he was eventually entrusted with the role of the dungeon’s final boss. However, despite his struggles and accomplishments as the final boss, his superior (a goddess) failed to acknowledge his efforts and achievements, leading to his banishment.

The place he was exiled to was Earth, and since hardly any time had passed there, he simply resumed his previous life. However, living as he once had proved impossible. Society began referring to him as “Dungeon Ojisan.” His current monster form is the Luminous Glorious Majestic Invincible Supreme Dragon or EX Magnifique Dragon for short.

- - - Mimimi Amanokawa / Mio Ayukawa

A B-rank Awakened. Miner class. The woman with the largest boobs in the series. As an idol-type D-Tuber, she captivated her audience with her formidable “chest armor.” She was naturally shy but she was working hard to overcome it. She had a general understanding of what made her so popular, but she accepted it as part of human nature. Viewers live in constant fear that one day, her channel might get banned all of a sudden.

- - - Rinko Samejima

An S-rank Awakened. Combat class. She awakened in the worst possible way—during an Overload—leading her to develop a deep hatred for dungeons. She worked for the Ministry of Dungeons (D-Ministry), overseeing the immediate extermination of dungeons in the Kanto, Tohoku, and Hokkaido regions. However, Jiro’s arrival had made her job significantly easier.

- - - Piroane Saito

A goddess. She was the one who reincarnated Jiro Hasegawa as a dungeon monster. A self-proclaimed “intuitive type” who never read instruction manuals, leading to both successes and failures without fully understanding why. She was a “pitiful goddess” in that regard. However, she possessed the rare and extraordinary ability to reincarnate souls, something few could achieve. A goddess who could achieve the extraordinary, and yet she also failed at her job precisely because of that ability. How unfortunate! After being manipulated by a junior goddess, she burned with anger and resorted to a forbidden technique, losing most of her divine power. As a result, she was stripped of her godhood by a higher existence and left on Earth. She obtained Japanese citizenship as an S-rank Awakened and was given the surname Saito.
