The Bottom-tier Dungeon Streamer Meets a Famous Streamer by Misunderstanding His Strength and Using the Skill "Intimidation," and Becomes a Legend Without Realizing It?! - Chap 14: Behind the Scenes

“Did you see Shinya-sama’s livestream?”

“Yeah, that guy can just glare at monsters and make them run away.”

“More importantly, Mouto were so pathetic, lol.”

“They were crying, lolol.”

“Even I would cry in that situation. Shinya-sama is seriously scary when angry.”

“After that, they apparently went to the association on their own.”

“If they ignore this and continue livestreaming, Shinya-sama will definitely beat them up for real, lol.”

“Shinya-sama getting angry for Saku-chan is so cool! I’m falling for him!”

“I’m falling for him too.”

“Don’t fall for him, lol.”

“But the association won’t just let it go forever, for sure.”

“Exploring the deep levels is already tough enough, so having strong guys around is always good, no matter how many.”

“Looks like our Shinya-sama has finally reached S-rank. Quite moving.”

“Who the heck are you?”

“Shinya-sama is trending again at number one. You guys sure talk a lot.”

“Shinya-sama’s channel subscriptions are skyrocketing! It was 100,000 just yesterday, and now it’s already 300,000! LOL”

“It might reach 500,000 by tomorrow LOL”

“I hope he collaborates with Saku-chan.”

On every social media platform, discussions about Shinya are everywhere. While it may be temporary, his stream attracted over 200,000 viewers and garnered significant attention. Moreover, the unauthorized clips of the stream were cut and spread across various websites, becoming an internet sensation. This is also one of the problems that streamers have to deal with.

“Ahh, I’m exhausted…” 

Shinya, who had no time to care about the online commotion, went straight home after the incident and collapsed onto his bed. 

“I’m glad I didn’t end up hitting them. If those guys hadn’t acted so recklessly, I would have been the one embarrassed. Ugh, I’m tired.”

Throughout the ordeal, Shinya maintained a calm and cold expression, but it was all an act. Inside, he was filled with tension and fear.

“They were four of them, and I knew I couldn’t win a regular fight against them. When the monsters approached, I got so scared that I froze… My stomach hurts… Shouta gave me the ‘Summoning Bell.’ I came up with the plan to corner Muto and the others while we were on our way to the dungeon. It worked well with Shouta, so I knew that ‘Intimidation’ would be effective against a large group of monsters. What I needed was to confirm if Muto and the others were truly the culprits behind Sakura and the others being attacked. If they were, I needed to push them to the brink.”

Using the ‘Intimidation’ skill to break their spirits completely.

“I wonder if I pulled it off. I’m confident in my menacing look, but maybe I overdid the dialogue… I must have been holding back the urge to vomit about 30 times in my mind. But this time, unlike before, I have no regrets. I didn’t get involved by chance; I used ‘Intimidation’ willingly. Despite my concerns, the feeling of relief outweighs everything.”

“I used to be short-tempered, so I need to be careful.” 

Shinya had a habit of acting impulsively when he got angry. Despite acting all high and mighty with Shouta and Shinko, he was actually the most affected by Mikako’s tears, not wanting to see her cry like that again, not because he wanted to show off in front of a girl or anything, but simply because he genuinely didn’t want to see Mikako in such distress.

“Damn, now I have even more reasons not to reveal my weakness.”

With all the commotion, if it gets out that I’m actually weak, it won’t end well for me. Mutou and the others might come for revenge, or other similar people might come to mock me.

“…… let’s not even think about it right now.”

“Oh no, I just realized, I’m still an F-rank since I missed the tournament.”

They changed the system suddenly, and I can’t even go mushroom hunting properly without being able to level up. I had decided to live off mushrooms, but at this rate, I won’t be able to sustain myself

“Well, I still have some money saved up, so it’s okay for a while.”

He lies on the bed, trying to escape from reality. He wonders about the current state of the internet, but he’s too scared to check. Maybe Shouta and the others who saw the stream are trying to contact him, but he doesn’t feel like checking that either.

“Oh, wait, did I give them my contact information?”

Mikako somehow knows the location of this house, but she probably won’t be able to move for a while. However, she seemed down, so I want to talk to her again. I don’t have any words of encouragement, but I want to let her know not to worry.

Shinya lets out a small sigh.

“I should visit her once she’s calmed down a bit. It would be heartless to leave her like this.”

Mentally preparing himself not to fall asleep and leave the world behind, Shinya closes his eyes. However, the doorbell continues to ring persistently.

“……Ugh, fine, I’ll answer it, I guess.”

He assumes it’s Shouta and the others who saw the stream and learned the location of the house from Mikako. With a resigned feeling, he decides to give up and opens the front door.

“…………Huh?”

To his surprise, standing there is a completely different girl he recognizes.

“Hey there, it’s Rinon… Hello, Shinya-san.”

“….Huh? Why is Rinon at my house?”

Rinon, the most famous dungeon streamer in Japan with over 10 million subscribers, an S-rank adventurer, is inexplicably standing at Shinya’s doorstep, smiling with her lovely silver hair swaying.

“I want to talk to you about your special skill… Is that alright?”

Hearing those words, Shinya feels like he’s about to throw up in his mind, thinking, ‘Ah, she finally found out. It’s all over…'”
