I Was a Crazy, Berserker-Type Dungeon Streamer, but When I Helped a Beautiful Dungeon Streamer and Treated Her Politely, It Was Revealed That I Was Actually a Normal Person - 5

Chapter 5: In Other Words, Lap Pillows Are the Best

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Famous dungeon streamer, Mashiro Shirono, had a strange encounter. She was chasing after her camera drone that had gone out of control when suddenly, she saw him. 

“〈Shock Blast〉.”

The boy said as he blasted the magic stones away. Unlike other drop items, magic stones were guaranteed to drop when you kill a monster. 

Furthermore, although drop items vary greatly in value—sometimes barely selling for anything at all—magic stones, no matter what kind, could generally fetch a decent price in the market. This was because the energy contained in magic stones was highly valuable. The government actively bought them from explorers. At first, she thought he was disposing of magic stones that couldn’t fit in his bag, but upon further look, his bag still seemed to have plenty of space. She couldn’t make any sense of what the boy was doing. 

[Huh? Is this guy crazy?]

[An incredible person is showing up on stream!]

[Th-The magic stonesssss!! The money stonesssss!!]

[This guy… He’s not human… Smashing magic stones like that…]

[Wait, isn’t he a dungeon streamer too?]

The comment sections were getting rowdy with excitement at the unbelievable sight. The girl hurried to retrieve the camera drone, but she couldn’t grab the flying drone.

“〈Shock Blast〉”

Next, the boy started to destroy the dropped items, including some rare drops that could fetch a decent price. Just like the magic stones, all of the dropped items were discarded without a hint of hesitation. It was at that moment the girl realized this boy shouldn’t be shown on her livestream. She rushed to grab her malfunctioning camera drone, but then… 

“I GOT ITTTTTT!!”

The boy suddenly flew toward the camera at supersonic speed. He grabbed the camera and crashed into the wall, knocking himself out. Even though the girl had ventured into the lower levels of the dungeons, but this was her first time seeing someone move that fast. 

――――――――

“I-Is he okay?”

I muttered as I stared at the man sleeping on my lap. It had been more than three minutes since he passed out and he still showed no sign of waking up. 

Could it be… He’s dead?

[Why a lap pillow though?]

[Move over, you crazy guy.]

[Please, swap places with me for a second!]

[I won’t forgive that guy…]

For some reason, the number of viewers increased a bit. I had around 20.000 viewers as of now. However, the comment sections became even more confusing. 

“He wo-won’t forgive me? But Mother said men like it when you do this for them.”

Maybe… Lap pillows aren’t as commonly used as I thought?

Just when I was starting to feel anxious…

“ISN’T THIS A LAP PILLOW?!”

The man shouted as he woke up. 

I-Is a lap pillow really weird after all? 

“I-I knew it. I-It’s weird to use someone’s lap as a pillow, huh? I’m sorry, I will get away from you right now!”

I blushed, feeling a bit flustered. Then, I quickly turned off my camera drone and muted the mic. It was only right for me to respect his privacy. I mustn’t invade his privacy anymore than this. After that, I answered all his questions while apologizing and somehow, I ended up giving him another lap pillow as an apology.

This.. This isn’t something people normally do, right?

While we were at it, I decided to stroke his head gently as well. He looked so happy, almost like a puppy. After he was satisfied, he stood up. Then, I realized something. I hadn’t turned off my other camera. Panicking, I quickly stopped the recording and scanned the comment section. 

[That guy… I definitely won’t let him go…]

[To think he also got head pats from Mashiro-chan… I’m so jealous!!!]

[OUR MASHIRO-CHANNNNNNNN!! AHHHHH!!!]

[Alright. I’ve found him. He’s a streamer. His name is Yukito Hiiragi.]

[He’s the worst.]

The comment section had plunged into a complete chaos. I quickly dropped to my knees and bowed deeply to apologize to him again.

Are you fucking kidding me? He got two lap pillows AND head pats from our Mashiro-chan??

Well, I do agree calling her “ours” is a bit too much, but yeah. I don’t like that guy either.

Is he her boyfriend or something? Damnnn!

He was using skills to smash magic stones and drop items instead of taking them back to the surface.

It’s that guy’s channel, Yukito Hiiragi, the one who got a lap pillow from Mashiro-chan.

Yeah, he’s kind of famous in certain circles. He’s the type who laughs manically while beating monsters to death.

Ughhh, just thinking about it is enough to make me nauseous.

So in other words, this guy isn’t doing it for the magic stones or drop items, but just for the pleasure of killing monsters? He’s just a crazy berserker?

>18 Yeah. I mean, why else did he break those magic stones to pieces?

When you put it that way, it’s a miracle that Mashiro-chan only had to pat his head.

Well, most of their interaction didn’t have any audio. We don’t really know what they were talking about. 

22. 22. 22. 22. Anonymous Fan 3

>21 That was because Mashiro-chan forgot to turn off the camera.

23. 23. 23. 23. Anonymous Fan

But thanks to that mistake, we at least know Mashiro-chan didn’t get defiled by him. So, in a way, we were lucky. 

24. 24. 24. 24. Anonymous Fan 2

But still, I wonder what they were talking about? Why did she end up giving him a lap pillow and head pats?

25. 25. 25. 25. Anonymous Fan 

Maybe Hiiragi got addicted to lap pillows after experiencing it or something. LOL

26. 26. 26. 26. Anonymous Fan 2

>25 So, because of that, Mashiro-chan somehow bribed Hiiragi to forgive her by giving him a lap pillow?

>26 The heck? Hilarious! Does that mean she managed to tame that crazy guy?

You guys keep bashing Hiiragi, but his livestream is actually really good, you know.

You guys… Have you ever had your favorite dungeon streamer injured by monsters? Or have your friend or family killed by monsters? I do. I’ve experienced both. For someone like me, seeing Hiiragi smash monsters to bits is a great way to vent my grievances.

But you know, I get you. If my oshi got killed by a monster, I would probably hold a grudge too.

Hiiragi’s streams are crazy good.

>37 Then what about S-rank explorer Kousei Kamiyama? He moves at the speed of light and takes out monsters left and right. He’s basically a superior version of Hikari.

39. 39. 39. 39. Anonymous Person

>38 It’s different. Kousei moves in a straight line and instantly slashes monsters to death with his skill. Hiiragi is different. It’s not about killing the monsters. It’s about making the monster suffer. Seeing the monster getting crushed to pieces… THAT’S the good stuff I’m looking for. Besides, Kousei moves so fast that you can’t even see him with your eyes. The monster is already dead before you even realize it. It’s not satisfying for stress relief.

Well, regardless of how good his streams are, it’s clear to see that Hiiragi is a complete madman.

I was really surprised when I saw him shattering magic stones. That guy.. He’s really going around killing monsters purely for pleasure…

In other words, Mashiro-chan’s lap pillow is the best since she can even charm a madman like Hiiragi.

T/N: That’s right. Ruri Hiiro and Mashiro Shirono are two different people.
