The Strongest Loner Redo His Youth With Unmatched Prowess!! ~In the Second Round of School Life, He Made Beautiful Girl Friends!~ - Chapter 21: Burn the Slime

A giant beast resembling a turtle. 

Yuito and the others enter through a gaping hole in its back. 

It was like a cave. 

The rugged brown rock surface. 

Although sunlight didn’t penetrate, it was bright enough. 

Something glass-like exposed from the rock surface was shining. 

“Hey, everyone, can you see? Is the sound okay?”

Kirika speaks to the camera. 

Above the camera, the streaming confirmation screen is projected. 

From there, numerous comments are being sent to the stream. 

“No problem!” 

“We can see you!” 

“The knight-like outfit suits you!” 

“Go for it, Kirika-chan!”

(The viewer count is――about a hundred? Kirika’s friends must be watching.)

No matter how beautiful Kirika and Hakari are, they are beginners at streaming. 

It’s unlikely they will attract many viewers. 

Most of the viewers are probably Kirika’s real-life friends or people connected through SNS. 

(In fact, it might be more nerve-wracking if the people who might meet them in real life are watching…) 

This might also be a chance to make friends. 

If they can showcase themselves here, they might gain more friends through Kirika.

Yuito straightened his back sharply. 

“So, we have Kirika and Hakari here for our dungeon livestream――” 

Kirika took Hakari’s arm and pulled her in front of the camera. 

Hakari stared at the camera with a puzzled expression. 

“Hakari-chan, can you introduce yourself?” 

“I’m Hakari.” 

Hakari’s curt self-introduction. 

However, it seems to be well-received. 

“Cool vibe, nice!” 

“Go for it, Hakari-chan!”

“Hakari-chan’s totally my type! LOL”

In the comments section, there are many supportive comments for Hakari. 

It seems the opening was not bad. 

“Yes, and Yuito-kun too!” 

“Huh, me?” 

Kirika operates the camera and points the lens at Yuito. 

At this point, he can’t ignore it.

“Y-Yuito here. Nice to meet you.” 

“Nice to meet you!” 

“Are you dating Kirika-chan or Hakari-chan? lol” 

“It’s so enviable to be in a dungeon with two beautiful girls…”

Compared to Hakari, the comments were less enthusiastic, but it didn’t feel too bad. 

It seems like he can manage without any problems.

“Now that the introductions are done, let’s go full throttle!” 

Kirika strided confidently deeper into the dungeon. 

Yuito and the others followed her. 

After a short distance, they were confronted by a monster. 

Kirika casually muttered.

“It’s a slime, huh?” 

A monster that looked like a large droplet of water. It’s a slime. 

Plop! 

The slime shook violently and then jumped up all at once. 

It was a full-body tackle. 

The target was Kirika, who was in the front row. 

“Whoa!” 

Kirika easily blocked it with her shield and drew her sword from her waist. 

“Take this!” 

Boing! 

The blade couldn’t pierce the slime. 

Like a ball hit by a bat, the slime bounced away.

“It’s not working—!?”

“Magic works on slimes!!”

“As expected, physical attacks are hard to land.” 

“It’s my turn now.” 

Hakari raised her mechanical staff. 

The tip of the staff clicked into action. It let out a whirring sound. 

Then, a fireball shot out from the tip of the staff. 

The fireball flew straight at the slime and ignited perfectly.

The slime quivers and shakes. 

This time, it works perfectly. 

“Slimes are weak to temperature changes. Just as we learned.” 

“This dungeon has a lot of slimes, so Hakari-chan is good at magic and really shining!” 

The purpose of this dungeon exploration is “Kirika’s stream” and “Hakari’s training.” 

If they’re going to train Hakari’s magic, it’s better to have enemies that are susceptible to magic.

So, they chose a dungeon with a lot of slimes. 

The slimes were on fire. 

Eventually, they stopped moving and disappeared into particles of light. 

“Nice!!” 

“Hakari-chan is strong!” 

“I’m jealous you can hit it with magic!”

Clang! 

A small jewel-like object fell where the slimes had disappeared.

“Is it really going to turn into a ‘magic stone’ and disappear…”

Hakari picked up the gem with a puzzled expression. 

It was something called a magic stone. 

It’s like the core of a monster. 

When a monster is defeated, it disappears and turns into a magic stone. 

For Hakari, who saw it for the first time in person, it must have been a strange sight. 

“Congratulations on your first hunt, Hakari-chan!” 

“Thank you.”

(At this rate, maybe I shouldn’t interfere too much.) 

The purpose of this time is to train Hakari. 

If Yuito cuts down everything in sight, it defeats the purpose. 

As he was thinking about not getting too involved, a voice echoed through the cave. 

“Kryyaaaaaaa!!!?”

It sounds like the cry of a strange bird living in a tropical country. 

“…Is that a human scream?” 

“Maybe?” 

“Shouldn’t we go check it out?” 

“It might be a new type of monster, lol.” 

“Go help them!”

Despite their doubts, Yuito and the others started running in the direction of the scream.
