【Miracle】 A Thread Praising Our Hero, Ryuuto Sakazaki PART 523 【Survive!】

001 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

This is a thread dedicated to praising our hero who has defeated the Demon Lord, Ryuuto Sakazaki-sama. Ryuuto-sama has finally returned to the surface after 20 years of wandering in the dungeon. Let us all pray, morning and evening, in the direction where Ryuuto-sama resides. Also, if there are any true believers of the Hero Association among us, please refrain from getting too carried away. Ryuuto-sama is always watching over us.

Summary of the Online Press Conference

Q: You must be exhausted from such a long battle. Are you really the real Ryuuto Sakazaki-sama himself?

A: Yes, I am.

Q: You seem far too young for a 38-year-old.

A: Apparently, time doesn’t flow inside the dungeon. I don’t know the details of that myself to be honest.

Q: What do you want to do most right now?

A: Let’s see… I’d like to take my time exploring the city.

Q: How do you plan to live from now on?

A: I intend to live as an explorer. The world isn’t completely at peace yet, after all.

Q: Does that mean you’ll be issued a special explorer’s license from the government as a special case?

A: No, I plan to enroll in the National Explorers Academy and relearn the basics properly.

Q: May I ask what’s your height, Ryuuto-sama?

A: 177 cm… I think. Probably?

Q: What is your favorite food?

A: Ramen and katsudon, I guess. I also like tempura, soba, and sushi.

Q: Do you have any hobbies?

A: I like to watch movies.

Q: Where do you start washing in the bath?

A: My head, I guess?

Q: What kind of family do you hope to have in the future?

A: I want to work hard so my family can get along well and live happily.

Q: When it comes to a woman’s figure, what do you prioritize?

A: Well, that depends on the person. I can’t make a blanket statement about that.

Q: Do you prefer larger breasts or smaller ones?

A: Haha, Well… probably bigger.

Q: Yes! Ahem… Do you dislike women with loud voices?

A: Uh, what do you mean by ‘loud voice’ exactly?

Q: Don’t make me say it. You know, the voice that woman let out during that time… Hm?

A: Uhh, umm, you’re a bit too close…

Q: You know, I have an I-cup chest. What do you think? Do you find me attractive?

A: N-no, I mean… You’re too close!

Q: Come on, come on! If I squeeze Ryuuto-sama’s between these… Haah, haah…

A: W-wait, calm down! Hold on—what!? Are you seriously stripping now!?

Q: Hey, hey, my tongue is 15 cm long, you know? What do you think?

A: Nee-chan, Nee-chan!? Someone?! This lady is kind of dangerous!

Temporary suspension…

Switching reporters…

Q: Well then. Last question. What’s your ideal type of woman, Ryuuto-sama?

A: A pure and innocent bitch.

UWOOOOOOOHH!! As a proud G-cup holder, I claim total victory! Yay!~

004 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

At last…! After being mocked by my classmates for my ‘excess fat,’ my time to shine has finally come…!

012 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ugh, is a mere D-cup not enough to charm Ryuuto-sama…?

015 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

As a flat-chested warrior, I have… Perished.

018 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Calm down. It’s not the time to panic yet.

021 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

By the way, what exactly does ‘a pure and innocent bitch’ mean?

026 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Hmm… Ryuuto-sama’s words can’t be taken at face value. His words are layered with multiple deep meanings.  Can such opposing traits come together in one vessel?

032 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

I heard the family home and the apartment of that infamous reporter who had disrespected Ryuuto-sama… Were burned to the ground. 

043 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

That’s terrifying…

056 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

It must be those people from the Hero Association religion, right? Well, I can’t say I don’t understand their point though.

061 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

But thanks to Ryuuto-sama’s public statement, the storm of terror has come to a sudden halt. That infamous reporter can rest easy for now.

064 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ryuuto-sama is so kind~ If it were me… I’d cut off her limbs and gouge out her chest myself… Then, I’d carve the word ‘BITCH’ onto their stomach.

075 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Are you some sort of murderous clown or something?

081 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Anyway, can we drop the dangerous talk? Let’s keep the thread sane and peaceful, okay? We’re here to talk about Ryuuto-sama after all.

083 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

W-Well… Yeah, that’s probably for the best…

085 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

So, Ryuuto-sama is 177 cm tall, huh?

087 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

He’s pretty tall.

089 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

I want to be hugged tight by a tall guy like Ryuuto-sama…

091 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

You know, don’t you think the average height of Japanese men has been decreasing over the past ten years.

093 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Yeah… I wonder why… Men are not only shrinking in number, but also in size…

095 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

It must be the Darwinian adaptation.

098 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

So what does that even mean, dattebayo!?

102 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Basically… If they’ve gotten smaller, it makes it harder for predators (us) to find them, right?

105 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

So sad…

108 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

By the way… Is there anyone who has… Umm… ‘Do it’ while watching Ryuuto-sama’s press conference video? Be honest. 

110 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ugh…

111 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

…Phew.

112 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Nngh…

114 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ahhn…

116 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ugh, something smells weird in here…

118 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Well, I can’t really blame them. Ryuuto-sama is just that handsome after all. 

120 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

I converted Ryuuto-sama’s voice into an alarm for my morning alarm. Nnngh…

122 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

What the hell are you all doing first thing in the morning…

126 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

That’s blasphemy.

128 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Okay, but let’s be real. Ryuuto-sama actually fought for his life in a dungeon for 20 whole years… That’s insane. 

131 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

It must’ve been rough… It must’ve been painful… Even though I’m just a low-rank explorer, but I tapped out after just a week during my school training. Ryuuto-sama is super amazing. A true man among men. 

133 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

I don’t have the necessary qualification to become an explorer, but is diving into a dungeon really that hard?

135 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Oh, I wanted to ask that too. Hmm.. It’s kind of hard to picture, you know? Like when you watch streaming videos online, it just looks like they’re casually strolling through the dungeon, right? And the money is way better than working a normal job, right? I’m not trying to diss the explorer profession or anything. That’s just my honest point of view as a common person. 

139 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Yeah, I get you. Even the lowest rank, E-Class explorer, has better wages than normal office workers. I heard the median monthly salary is a little over 200,000 yen. And their actual working time is less than half a month, right? Meanwhile, my company is always overworking us with endless overtime…

142 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ahh, if you only look at the good part, I guess it makes sense why people would think that way…

148 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

That’s totally wrong! I’ll speak on behalf of all explorers here, but dungeon work is nowhere near that easy! Even if their active days are only about 10 to 15 days a month, explorers need to keep training and do their research during their off day! Prepping beforehand takes at least a week and if you don’t prepare yourselves enough, you might die in the dungeon! And of course, there’s no police or military in the dungeon, so when things go south, the association is the only thing you can rely on. The recent rescue of Haruka Shimomura was an extremely rare case. Most people just vanish into the darkness. If you mess up, not even your bones will remain. I mean, sure, if you hit the jackpot, you will get a lot of money. Rare metals, special materials, legendary treasures…. If you can find one of those, you could make tens of millions to billions overnight. And it’s tax-free! Statistically speaking, the odds are way better than the lottery. Not to mention, according to research done by the government, there are still countless undiscovered riches sleeping within the dungeons. But!! If you fail, you’re going straight to heaven! That is, if you’re lucky! Most unfortunate explorers end up spending the rest of their lives disabled. That’s how brutal and forgiving the job is! Do you all understand it now?!

152 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

Ahh, there’s that saying, right? “Only a whisper of wood separates you from damnation.”

157 Anonymous Ryuuto-sama Worshipper

And yet, in that very damnation… Beyond the association’s reach, near the lowest abyss… Ryuuto-sama kept fighting for 20 whole years… I have nothing but respect for him. Pure bravery alone wouldn’t be able to help you in that situation.
