Ch.17 "My First Dungeon Livestream (Worldwide)" 1

[Hey, Haru-chan's guerrilla stream is already trending]

[Because this is essentially her debut stream, right?]

[And it was a guerrilla on a weekday during the day.]

[As expected, Haru-chan got infected by Ruru-chan's curse... she's in a different league...]

[lol]

[The theory that it was a surprise from the agency was easily dismissed lol]

[Normally, one would think that a major agency is producing a new one, but the comments section is almost all in agreement that it's Ruru-chan's fault lol]

[Ruru-chan is really popular!]

[Well, no one has forgotten the impact of that incident yet.]

[Haru-chan comes as a set with that.]

[That should've be an enviable situation but actually isn't]

[But it's Ruru-chan, you know? You want to take Haru-chan's place?]

[No... that's a bit...]

[For an ordinary person it's a bit...]

[lol]

Hmm, okay.

I think I'm on about the 30th floor now, and I'm getting a decent amount of material drops, weapons, and the like, so I'm back to my usual pace now.

Having dived this far, I'm being careful because I know I'd get a nasty surprise if I underestimated it like I did at first, but I think I can still go further.

After all, I've been diving there almost every day for years, so I feel more at ease inside the dungeon.

Should I move here instead?

Just kidding.

That being said...I usually take too much of a safety margin, so to be honest, I'm not really sure what my own level is these days.

It wasn't like this every day when I was a guy, but after I became a girl and people didn't believe me, I got fired, and the only thing worth living for was the dungeon.

Even if I want to go on a little adventure, I worry about what might happen if I go solo, so I end up just diving appropriate to my level.

Oh, I guess it would be better if I came with someone else like Emi-san.

Ruru-san?

That girl is a bit... you know, it looks like she'd make us fall into a trap together...

[No face shown, barely speaking, only occasional glimpses of hands, 200,000 concurrent viewers...]

[This is amazing considering it just started as a guerrilla]

[It's different from back then, but this is better.]

[Haru-chan is not normal in many ways.]

[The trend from when Ruru-chan first stepped through the traps is still continuing.]

[This is where the real battle begins, Haru-chan]

[Eh? Fighting dragons with Ruru-chan again?]

[No, that's impossible]

[But if it continues like this, concurrent users will continue to fall... I wonder if Haru-chan is okay]

[This is Haru-chan we're talking about, she won't mind at all.]

[I bet she'd be just fine even if there were only 10 people watching]

[I'm sure he'd say something like, "It is what it is."]

[That's does sound like Haru-chan]

[Indeed]

[There are those of us who are satisfied with Haru-chan from the beginning...]

[But, I wish she'd show us something a little more flashy.]

[I want to at least see her face]

【Is there no self-introduction?】

[There's a lot of noise, but do your best, Haru-chan!]

[Too bad, Haru-chan doesn't really read the comments]

[Haru-chan is unfazed, wheter it's a good or a bad things.]

[lol]

[In a sense, it's a mentality of a pro that brings a sense of security]

[I actually feel more at ease when someone is completely at their own pace]

What I currently have is a normal quality slingshot with 72 stones, a longbow with 35 rag arrows, a sniper rifle with 20 bullets, and a shotgun with 5 bullets.

It has gotten so big that it no longer fits in my backpack, so I've started hanging it around my body...but that's the usual and I don't run around with it so it's fine.

It's fine for now because I'm still at a level where I can fight well enough with the dropped items, but if I start to be unable to kill enemies in one hit with common weapons, I'll start to turn back.

It's a beginner's dungeon, so even if I exchange the drops for cash, I won't get much money.

Today's earnings will likely be in the red since it costs a lot to use the emergency escape device once, so I'll have to walk back.

[But seriously, Haru-chan doesn't talk and doesn't read the comments]

[Because it's Haru-chan]

[That's why only the Primordials were watching, until recently.]

[And since the enemy was defeated before it was even visible on camera, all that was shown was the drop, so there wasn't really any highlight.]

[I'm surprised the primordials has been watching Haru-chan's stream for so long...]

[This has its own merits]

[Ah... something that can't be put into words.]

[I don't understand]

[Don't look, feel with your heart.]

[lol]

[It's fun if you think of it as a radio broadcast.]

[It's all basic sound effects, attack sounds, and death cries though]

[Isn't this ASMR?]

[ASMR lol]

[Dungeon ASMR stream...too innovative...]

[And you say that there is no voice of the person herself...]

[Well, she's a blonde loli so a certain number of people will continue to watch...]

[Officer, it's us]

[Oh, we're not touching anything so it's fine]

[What is fine?]

[Haru-chan is at a high level, so if you touch her carelessly, your wrist might break]

[The "Oh, sorry, I did it" style of a brave warrior]

[I'm going out for a bit]

[Wait, don't be hasty]

"Oh, there are a lot of monsters up ahead."

[She spoke!]

[Cute]

[I became a fan just from her voice]

[I want to hold those hands.]

[Wait, Isn't this a monster house?!]

[Haru-chan, this is definitely not the right place, this is a different beginner's dungeon]

[What exactly is a beginner's dungeon...?]

[Someone, if Haru-chan sees this comment, please tell her...Haru-chan, Haru-chan, beginner dungeons are places that don't have monster houses or anything like that. Only dungeons that are guaranteed to be safe are specified on the association's website.]

[Haru-chan, even though you've been diving here so far, you probably don't know much about the dungeon...]

[Yeah... I mean, it doesn't seem like she even appraised the weapons she picked up...]

[She didn't even use the word "monster house" earlier...]

[Oh, I remember that about half a year ago in a stream, Haru-chan broke through a dungeon with a cursed gun.]

[lol]

[This loli is too unhinged]

"So the screen might be a little shaky from now on."

【Eh? Aren't we going to take a detour?】

[Solo Monster house]

[Well, even if this is not a beginner's dungeon, this at least seems to be a low level one...]

[To begin with, Haru-chan hasn't used magic even once today.]

[That's right, if it comes down to it, as can do something about it with area attacks, as always.]

As I gazed into the dark cave, I began to get my things ready.

Ah, my neck feels better now that I don't have to hide my hands like I used to.

Until now, my neck was facing forward and my eyes were looking straight down, which was quite tiring.

[Hands]

[licking hands]

[These hands are very good]

[Just this screenshot will increase her fan base]

[Licking the occasional blonde hair]

[This length of her side hair... is it really long hair?]

[A hair fetishist has appeared! Surround him!]

[Eh, even at a time like this, she's still using a slingshot...]

[Well, if your throwing skill is high, even a simple rock can have a lot of power.]

[Her accuracy is so high that a zero-cost stone is good enough...]

[But with a slingshot you picked up on a previous floor, unless you have a certain level and skill, it'll be tough even against the monsters around here...]

"Okay then, let's go."

[Don't be reckless]

[Haru-chan will be fine]

[The primordials seem calm... Is this really okay?]

[Believe in Haru-chan, who took down the boss monster with two shots using a homemade weapon]

"………………………………"

The monsters I've defeated so far - they were all from a distance, but judging by the feel of it - I think I should still be fine even if I'm surrounded.

Even if can't use much magic, in the unlikely event that something were to happen, it would be enough to jump with all my might and then use the emergency escape device without any problems.

"Ruru-san isn't here either so it should be fine."

[lol]

[Haru-chan, can you not set a flag?]

[She probably already got infected just by being near Ruru-chan...]

[I don't think so since Emi-Oneesan is fine]

[Surely nothing bad is going to happen, probably...]

[You should be more decisive about that]

[Eh? That's impossible]

[I mean, it's a curse, you know?]

[lol]

I close my eyes to maximize my detection skill.

--A space between 22 and 40 meters away, the number is... 31, and they seem to be clustered to the right.

[Oh, Haru-chan's arm! A pure white arm in front of her!]

[The sure-fire strategy for monster house used to be sniping from afar. That's why she stretched out her slingshot like a bow.]

[I see, so it's fine to do that even if you don't have much muscle strength...]

[But then wouldn't it be better to just use a bow or a gun instead?]

[However, Haru-chan is prioritizes being cost-effective]

[In other words, stingy]

[She usually look down and pick up rocks while moving around.]

[Also, she picks up drops that were obviously left behind by other people]

[Haru-chan... Is probably from a poor family]

[Haru-chan is a brave girl who does her best for her family!?]

Whoosh.

"Nice."

I got the closest one.

Its reaction has disappeared so my accuracy is fine today.

【Huh? Did she get it?】

[She said "nice", so probably?]

[Ummm... I still can't see the enemy...]

[The model number of the camera was even pointed out in the previous stream, but it's still so dark... it's so dark you can't see it without skill, and it's at least 15 meters away...?]

Whoosh whoosh.

Sensing the monsters beginning to move, I began throwing stones at the shadows that were now more clearly visible than before, starting from the closest one.

Giving top priority to my usual instincts, while being careful... I throw the stones with speed similar from using a bow.

【Eh, so fast?】

[Um... Since your left hand is sticking out, the slingshot is probably pulled back about 40 centimeters, right? And she keeps doing that...]

Hmm, there's a fast moving one... then I'll hit you next.

[Ah, here it comes]

[Flight type! ]

[It's in front of you! ]

Whoosh.

There was a sound like a bat falling with a shriek.

[...It disappeared in an instant, but... judging from its color and size, isn't it a superior species of Rapid Bat?]

[Eh, doesn't that mean it's at least level 30?]

[That's the one that appears in the middle of an intermediate dungeon.]

[Are you mistaken?]

[... No, I rewound it and I think it's probably correct. I remember it well because I had no way to counter it the other day and gave up on the treasure chest.]

[One shot on a Super Rapid Bat? And with a common slingshot and a rock you just picked up?]

【???】

【???】

[Was I really that weak...?]

[The dungeon rules are in disarray]

The bat was a little bit faster just now, but it's a bat so it's not that surprising.

As always, I'm sneaking around calmly and carefully as the monsters slowly rose up.

One by one, I took a stone out of the bag with my right hand and set it on the rubber part, then I put a little bit of magical power into both arms, held my left hand straight and pulled my right hand up to my chest to increase the power of the magic.

ー whoosh, whoosh.

[Um, all I can hear is the sound of stones cutting through the wind and the death cries of monsters echoing in the distance...]

[As always, it's not flashy at all, but it's a killer scene that's hard to watch]

[Um, it looks like the level of this dungeon has been narrowed down on the bulletin board...]

[The entrance is around level 10, but it seems to be a big place with up to 200 floors...]

[Hah?]

[I know that beginner dungeons are at most 25 floors deep, and intermediate dungeons are 50 to 100, but...]

[200 floors...huh?]

[You know, right? It's in the town where Ruru-chan's agency is stationed. There's a dungeon with a similar name to the beginner's dungeon, and they always warn us about it, so I know about it.]

[But when you join, the recommended level should be written.]

[It's the airhead Haru-chan, you know?]

[Oh, it's definitely possible for Haru-chan.]

[lol]

[Are you attacking a place like that without bringing anything with you, Haru-chan?]

[Amazing]

[Plus, someone pointed out that there seems to be some kind of trap on the stairs that causes the levels to jump around...]

[As expected, Ruru-chan's...]

[This is no joke, is Haru-chan actually infected?]

[Ruru-chan is scary...]

[I'm starting to get scared from watching Haru-chan's streams]

[It looks like Ruru-chan is coming after her]

So I throw the last stone and listen a little.

ーOkay.

"Same as usual."

[Haru-chan is so calm]

[But please, look at the comments...]

[No good, she doesn't even seem to take out her smartphone]

[Haru-chan, this isn't the right place! this is not the beginner's dungeon!]

[This isn't the place to go for a first time dive...]

[Haru-chan is so clumsy... Is this also because of Ruru-chan...]

[No, Haru-chan is always acting like this.]

[Yeah, she always does things at her own pace]

[She's a tough guy who admitted that she reads stuff on her tablet while waiting for a prey in the dungeon.]

[lol]
