Dungeon's Final Boss: Banished by My Boss, the Goddess, to Earth—So I'll Continue My Past Life - 45

Chapter 45: A Celebrity Appears on Camera

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Yes! This is Mimimi Amanokawa. Tonight, I’ll be chatting while digging away in Kichijoji Dungeon, the dungeon I often come to.”

A white-gal-style makeup, overalls with the chest area almost completely open. A shirt stretched tight over her ample chest and a flashy golden pickaxe. Mimimi Amanokawa’s usual appearance was displayed through the streaming camera. She had a gyaru-style look, yet her way of speaking wasn’t gyaru-like at all. That contrast was part of what made Mimimi Amanokawa so popular.

: Looking forward to it.

: Looking forward to tonight’s live stream as well! Looking forward to it!

: Thank you, thank you!

“Alright, let’s get started. Ah, I’ve already arrived. The dungeon convenience store’s golems are so useful. I barely had to fight, and I still made it all the way here.”

: Phew.

: Phew.

: Phew.

: What floor is this?

: No clue.

: Definitely lower than before dungeon convenience stores existed.

: Gotta keep it a secret to avoid interference and mining disruptions.

: Makes sense.

: Dungeon convenience stores seem super handy.

: The buff onigiri helps combat types, and non-combatants like Mimimi-chan can solo deeper floors with golems…

: Too convenient.

: Only in Japan, right?

: Phew.

: Seems like it.

: Wait, do convenience stores exist overseas?

: Yeah, but they’re different from Japan’s.

: I see.

: Were dungeon convenience stores invented by a Japanese person?

: Probably, but it’s actual identity is a mystery.

: Why don’t they expand overseas?

: No substitute for onigiri?

: That’s it!

: Phew.

: Also, there are probably more idiots overseas who’d attack the stores and cause trouble.

: That’s possible.

: Wonder if the fool who embarrassed himself getting wrecked by the dungeon convenience store’s security system is still alive?

: No idea.

: No idea.

: Phew.

: Let’s keep unrelated streamer talk to a minimum.

: True.

: A certain someone is nothing compared to Mimimi-chan’s up-and-down motions.

: So true.

: Anyway, what about the online auction?

: It’s insane.

: The world’s first mythical tier sword being auctioned in Japan?

: Why that awakened person didn’t keep it to themselves though?

: Dropping something like that…That person must be an S-rank, right?

: If they were S-rank, wouldn’t they keep it to themselves?

: Maybe a dungeon management company found it but couldn’t use it, so they’re selling it?

: Sounds likely.

: Maybe it’s one of those “chooses its wielder” weapons.

: Or cursed.

: If it’s cursed, they wouldn’t be able to auction it.

: How much will it go for?

: Definitely billions.

: Could hit 100 billion.

: Didn’t a legendary magic item sell for 40 billion yen on the news?

: 40 billion.

: Yen? Dollars?

: Yen.

: If it were dollars, I’d pass out.

: If it’s truly the strongest sword in the world, wouldn’t it be worth over a trillion yen?

: I mean, even Japan’s national budget surpasses a trillion.

: ICBMs cost 300 million to 1 billion yen each, and they’re single-use.

: A sword can be used until it breaks.

: But it all depends on whether someone with that kind of money shows up.

: That’d be fun to see.

: The ones who want it are awakened people, right? Do they even have that much cash?

: Who knows…

“Oh!”

The viewers, now in a relaxed mode, were chatting while watching Mimimi’s up-down rhythmic movements. It was the usual scene, until Mimimi’s voice suddenly changed. Everyone turned their gaze—acting as if the moving camera were their own eyes—and saw another figure on screen. A battle was happening a short distance away.

: Oh, a Rock-Eating Worm.

: That means she’s below floor 35.

: But…

: Isn’t the one fighting the worm kinda huge?

: Wait… Don’t we know that guy?

: Not personally, but yeah, we know him.

: It’s Rock-sama.

: That’s Rock Barnhorn!

: Holy crap, what’s he doing here?

: Wait, are foreign awakened allowed in Japan’s dungeons?

: Awakened certifications are linked to passports, so he should’ve been able to register quickly.

“Wow, he looks strong. Who is he?”

: 【Breaking News】 Mimimi-chan doesn’t know Rock-sama.

: But how…?

: Maybe she just didn’t expect a famous person to be nearby?

: Even though she knows Dungeon-Ojisan.

: And she’s close with Piroane-sama too.

“Huh? That person is an American S-rank awakened? Ohh.”

: She sounds completely indifferent.

“Oh, wait, I probably shouldn’t film him without permission. Camera, camera.”

: Nooo!

: But props for realizing it!

“HEY!”

“Ahhh! He’s coming over!”

: Oh wow, English time.

: Someone translate!

: “Hey there, young lady. Are you a Japanese streamer?”

: Nice, we got an English speaker here.

: Much appreciated!

: “This is the dungeon where that babe reached floor 50, right?”

: That babe?

: He means Piroane-sama, huh?

: “I’m gonna break that record, so look forward to it. But first, let me borrow some of your energy.”

: Wait, what?

: Are you serious?

“Huh?”

: HEY! Hands off our Mimimi-chan’s Mimimi-chan!!

: “Hahaha! Didn’t expect a Japanese girl to have such a fine Beppuuu—”

: Beppu?

: Wait, is the golem punching him?

: Oh wow, dungeon convenience store golems really protect their owners!

: Oi.

: This is…

: Wait, is the golem about to win?

“Ahhh! Stop, stop!”

That night’s live stream was abruptly cut short as they rushed to carry out the unconscious Rock Barnhorn. And so, this stream was clipped and went viral as the “Rock-sama Beppu Incident.”
