Chapter 114: Dungeon Livestream Resumes

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Somehow or another, the dungeon exploration began. Ryuuto stood behind the three girls, holding the latest model of an action camera. Fortunately, funds were plentiful. When he had asked his secretary Yurina to get one for dungeon use, she had arranged to receive it directly from the manufacturer — practically for free.

“Yahho~! I wonder if it’s showing up clearly? Hello, everyone watching! It’s been a while. This is Haruka, your clumsy dungeon streamer. Umm, it’s been quite a while since the last stream, but I’d be really happy if you could hang out with us again today!”

: Haru-chin, long time no see

: Thank goodness, she’s still alive

: Hey now, that’s harsh

: Yeah, sorry lol

“Ahaha, it’s fine! Oh, right! So, today’s a little different. I’ve got three new party members with me, and we’ll be streaming as a four-person team! Let me introduce everyone! Umm, this is Kyouka. Her job is Apothecary. She’s our key support and healer. I’m a bit of a klutz, so I think I’ll be relying on her a lot from now on!”

“Hey now, Haruka, don’t start saying unlucky things right off the bat. Oh, am I in frame? Yahho, everyone watching! I’m Kyouka! Nice to meet ya! I’ll be handling the party’s support, so leave it to me!”

: Whoa, starting off with a gorgeous beauty

: Total sexy type. That figure’s unreal

: So jealous. I’m chubby so…

“Uhaha~ Even if you’re just flattering me, that makes me really happy! We’re gonna be going all-out against some nasty monsters, so look forward to seeing me and Haruka kick some butt!”

“Alright, that’s enough, move it along. Others are waiting.”

: Oh, here comes another one

: Cute type this time

: So it’s a three-girl team with different vibes, huh

: I get it

: It’s four people though? The fourth is the cameraman

“Yup! And this girl here is our Thief, Rion. She’s my childhood friend. She’ll be in charge of scouting, disarming traps, finding treasure chests, all that stuff. I’m not great with delicate work, so I’ll be counting on her. Let’s do our best, Rion!”

“Leave it to me. Haruka, let’s do our best together.”

“Hey, you damn dungeon zashiki-warashi, don’t just casually leave me out. I’ll cry, you know?”

“Go ahead and cry.”

“Grrr!”

“Fssshhh!”

“Uh, please don’t start fighting right away! Look, even Ryuuto-san’s exasperated.”

“Ah, I’m just kidding! We’re besties!”

“Super close! Kyouka is my soul sister!”

: W-wait, what!? Ryuuto-sama’s there!?

: Where!? Where!? Show him already!!

: I need to tell everyone I know, up to my fourth cousins!!

“Yahho, everyone watching. I’m Sakazaki, the cameraman. Starting this time, I’ve joined the party. I won’t be on screen much, but please take care of our crew.”

: Uhyoooo!!

: That voice!

: I’m pregnant through my ears!!

: So glad I’m one of Haru-chin’s viewers

: Please, just for a second, show Ryuuto-sama!!

: Please please please please please!!

: I’ll offer my heart in return!!

: ¥50,000 — I beg you…!!

: ¥50,000 — Please…!!

: ¥50,000 — Just for a moment!!

“Wh-what!? A red superchat!? Isn’t this our first one!?”

: ¥50,000 — Anything for Ryuuto-sama

: ¥50,000 — Heave-ho!

: ¥50,000 — I believe in you, Haru-chin!

: ¥50,000 — I’m already standing by!

“No way, that’s too much! H-hey, Kyouka, Rion!?”

“Of course we can’t show him! Ain’t that right, Rion!?”

“M-money… I c-could never sell out Ryuuto-san for money—”

“Rion, you’re totally wavering right now!”

: ¥50,000 — Take this!!

: ¥50,000 — How about it!?

: ¥50,000 — You want it, right?

: ¥50,000 — Hm?

: ¥50,000 — C’mon, do it!

: ¥50,000 — Everyone, combine your power!!

: ¥50,000 — Let’s do this together!!

“What should we do, Ryuuto-san!?”

“Wait, Haruka, what are these numbers? What do they even mean?”

Ryuuto looked utterly confused.

“Everyone’s donating to our channel! They want to see you, Ryuuto-san!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“The money showing up here — it’s our revenue!”

“Money?”

“Hmph! No way I’m letting my Ryuuto-san be exposed to the public for a mere pocket change!”

“T-the legendary red superchat!”

“So red superchats were real… I thought they were just an urban legend!”

“What!? Wait, does that mean all these viewers are donating money to us!? H-hey, Haruka, what should I do? Should I take my clothes off? Should I whip out my dick or something?”

“No, you can’t, Ryuuto-san! We’ll get banned!”

“Ryuuto-san’s dick! Haa, haa…”

“Shit! Okay, Kyouka! Down!”

“I’m not a damn dog!!”

: ¥50,000 — Even if you get banned, I’ll support you forever!!

: ¥50,000 — M-me too! I’ll make sure Ryuuto-sama never wants for anything!!

: ¥50,000 — I’m ready to become Ryuuto-sama’s ATM!!

“T-this is getting out of hand! Ryuuto-san, maybe just a quick shot of your face—”

“What’s with you, Rion!?”

“Ryuuto-san is precious. But… Money’s important too.”

“F-fine. If this face is good enough for you then..”

Ryuuto turned the action camera from the girls toward himself. There was a brief silence. The comment feed stopped. The next moment, the screen exploded into chaos — filled with frenzied messages from the viewers.

: Nyooooo!!

: A-amazing!!

: Too divine!!

: Banzai! Banzai for Haru-chin! Banzai for Ryuuto-sama!

: Banzai banzai banzai!!

: Uhyoooo!!

: It’s a festival!!

: Abababab!!

: …gasp

: U-Uwaaah…. Onee-chan? Onee-chan, breathe! She’s not breathing!!

: Oh Lord, I pray to you. Thank you for all life on this earth.

: Whew

: I’ve decided. I’m becoming an explorer.

: Hmph, then that makes us rivals now.

: I just want to be as close to Ryuuto-sama as possible!
