Ch.20 "My First Dungeon Livestream (Worldwide)" 3

"Um, today I bought some onigiri from the convenience store... Ah, this is the first time I've seen this. It's a little expensive, but it looks delicious."

[Eh, Haru-chan's lunch is just rice balls?]

[J-just one rice ball...Haru-chan...]

[Opening it with such a small hands tskr]

[Lick lick]

[Since she's at a high level, she shouldn't have any money problems, but for some reason, the settings of poor young girls keep piling up...]

[Just one rice ball? Dungeon diving is physical labor, you know.]

[Even though I'm a rearguard, I'm usually walking for almost three hours straight...]

[Does that mean Haru-chan is just that small?]

[In other words, a little girl]

[It's Shota!!]

[Hi, Newcomer Onee-san who was lured by Haru-chan and threatening everyone with their personal information]

[Until puberty begins, boys are essentially girls. During puberty, boys become girls, so with that logic, I'm okay with loli.]

[I understand]

【Do you?】

[This shotacon... can do it...!]

[High level of understanding lol]

[Even though her real account was leaked from her hobby account, she's still proactive... She's strong]

Sometimes being small is a good thing.

One of the reason is low food costs or good fuel economy.

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he only eats one rice ball, half a serving of rice, one slice of bread, and half a sweet bun.

"Nom nom nom nom."

[ASMR tskr]

[The sound of little hands opening a convenience store rice ball and eating it... nice]

[But eat more and get bigger]

[No, it would be a problem if Haru-chan grew up.]

[She'll be a blonde haired beauty tho?]

[Yes, it is possible]

[No way!]

[lol]

[Too faithful to desires]

Although I no longer enjoy eating as much, I don't think it's so bad when I consider that I no longer eat carelessly and gain weight or feel bloated.

Humans can get used to a lot of things.

For example , it used to be difficult to go to the bathroom since I don't have it anymore.

[Fukaya Ruru: "Haru-chan?! If you see this, please reply!"]

[Ruru-chan's here!]

[Took her quite a while]

[A friend appears]

[A friend (with curse)]

[A friend...?]

[Mikazuki Emi: "Dear viewers, this is Mikazuki Emi. I'm sorry for causing you concern and inconvenience regarding Haru."]

[Emi-Oneesan is here too!]

[Here comes the guardian!]

[Emi-chan... in addition to taking care of Ruru-chan as usual, now she also has to take care of Haru-chan...]

[How pitiful...]

[Well, Haru-chan should be normal apart from her wandering tendencies...]

[Are you sure?]

[Can you really say that after watching this stream?]

[I'm starting to lose confidence]

[lol]

But seriously, girls' distances with each other is so close it's tiring.

Ruru-san is just like Ruru-san, and whenever she has free time she'll cling to me and get into a mode where she wants to take care of me in some way.

I wonder if that girl really understands that I'm an older man...I don't think she does, because she keeps inviting me to go to the toilet together... why...?

Emi-san is more sensible about that.

She normally keeps her distance and treats me like a normal working adult of the opposite sex...well, sometimes she gets a little weird, but even then she only says something like "Ahn" when I hit her.

Huh?

Maybe Emi-san is more sensible than i thought...?

She's a pervert, sure, but she knows how to keep her distance.

...No, calm down, people with true common sense are people like Kujima-san.

She treats me in a business-like manner, like a normal adult... typical of a high school girl though... and she doesn't cling to me like Ruru-chan, nor does she jump on me unexpectedly like Emi-san.

I feel more at ease when it comes to that girl.

Ruru-san isn't so bad if you think of her as just a girl from the neighborhood.

It feels like I'm taking care of her... Ah, I'd like Hentai-san to keep her distance tho.

"Phew... I'm full."

[lol]

[Haru-chan is too carefree]

[That's Haru-chan for you]

[Carefree like a stray cat]

[Stray cat Haru-chan?]

[Mikazuki Emi: "That's true, Haru-san... Haru has that kind of side to her. Like when she suddenly dives like this..."]

[Hee...]

[Sad news, Haru-chan was also a character with too many quirks after all]

[Wandering Loli...?]

[Stray cats... in other words, if you love them too much, they might start to hate you]

[Fukaya Ruru: "Ah, wait, Emi-chan?! I'm sorry everyone, Emi-chan is really depressed, so please don't say that Haru-chan hates Emi-chan! Haru-chan loves Emi-chan!! She doesn't hate Emi-chan!!!"]

[Don't cry]

[Didn't Ruru-chan just casually dealing the final blow there?]

[lol]

[She got stabbed twice lol]

[Emi-Okaasan's maternal love was too dazzling for Haru-chan...]

[Like a stray cat that runs away after being put in the bath?]

[A bath?!]

[Yuri bath, I want a commentary of it]

[Reported]

[Just the voice is fine, so please stop reporting me]

I put my luggage back around my body, which I had left in the hollow, and checked the direction of the camera with my hands.

"Okay."

[Haru-chan, its not okay, not okay at all]

[Please, can you just take a look at your smartphone for a second...?]

"Well then, let's move on to the second half. Thanks to this bag, if I can get as many drops in as I can from here on out... I think I'll still get a prifit even if I escape with this wristband, so I'll go as far as I can without putting myself in danger."

[Ah, she keeps ignoring us]

[Haru-chan, smartphones are for contacting people, you know?]

[Well, during the dive... it'd bad if you're found while sneaking around as a rearguard, so it's basic to turn off the power or put your phone on silent mode.]

[But even so, shouldn't she at least check while taking a break in a safe place?]

[If only for social media...oh no, she doesn't have an account...]

[I wonder why there are people who don't check notifications on their smartphones to keep in touch with others. Don't you normally talk or chat with friends? Surely everyone does the same in situations like this?]

[Don't call it normal]

[Don't say "everyone"...don't say that...]

[Hey, stop, that will hurt us]

[How many of you have contact details? Ah, other than work-related contacts and acquaintances who are not yet friends]

[Uwaaaaaa!!]

[「 」]

[「 」]

[「 」]

[Everyone's dead...]

[What a cruel thing to do]

[It's okay, it's just a mortal wounds]

[Just like the fate of the monsters that flocked to Haru-chan...]

[lol]

For some reason, ever since I got this body, I've felt strangely good in the dungeon.

Thanks to this, I don't need to take as many breaks or replenish with water or food, and it's easy to concentrate, so I can make progress for long periods of time.

One small plastic bottle of water will last me about six hours.

If I get a little tired, I get to lie down in the recess and read a book.

I can't take a nap though.

I also can't drink alcohol.

"I want to go home early and have a drink."

[Hey, Haru-chan?!]

[Haru-chan, what are you talking about?!]

[lol]

[Unexpectedly alcoholic little girl]

[If she really was a loli, this comment alone would cause an uproar...]

[Mikazuki Emi: "I'm sorry for the misleading statement. She has a habit of imitating her father's catchphrases."]

[Haru-chan is daddy's girl!]

[It can't be helped if she's just copying her dad]

[Yeah, yeah, it can't be helped]

Oh, this is bad.

Come to think of it, people know I'm a kid now.

...They say that things like online flame wars are scary.

Plus it seems like there are a lot of people there because of Ruru-san... Okay.

"Oh, by the way, I'm an adult so it's okay."

[Hah?]

[Eh?]

[No way!?]

[A 120cm tall adult woman...?!]

[Fukaya Ruru: "Haru-chan!?"]

[lol]

[Emi-Okaasan tried to make a follow up, but she ruined it lol]

[Hee……]

[Sad news: Haru-chan's airhead attribute is too strong]

[If you believe what Haru-chan says, Haru-chan looks like an elementary school student, so she's a legal loli. If we believe what Emi-Okaasan says, she's also imitating her father, so that means?]

[...Haru-chan says some strange things, huh? That's right, what Okaa-san said is right, isn't it? You're just imitating your dad, right?]

[...That's right! She's at an age where she wants to act like an adult!]

[That's right! ... I'll go and do some groundwork with a reporter I know.]

[Oh, I'll also talk to my influencer friend...]

[Let me talk to President...]

[Emi Mama Emi Mama, please tell your assistant to stop this live stream for just a moment and cut the current scene]

[Even if we start a new stream, people will come because of this buzz, and it doesn't seem like there's any problem, so is it right to stop it?]

[After all, Ruru-chan is the reason for the controversy...]

[Oh no, it's all Ruru-chan's fault]

[Fukaya Ruru: "It's not my fault this time!"]

[lol]

[As expected, it's the result of someone else's actions]

[Sorry?]

[Fukaya Ruru: "I forgive you!"]

[So kind]

[Ruru-chan is a good girl, Haru-chan is an innocent girl]

[But the real culprit is probably Ruru-chan...?]

[Now that I think about it...]

[Fukaya Ruru: "Isn't this too unreasonable!?"]

[Lol, Ruru-chan got caught up in this]

That's fine, I was originally planning to reveal it someday, and I'm the adult after all.

I know it's probably best not to say I was a man, but if it's a child then there are a lot of problems that can arise.

For example, streaming.

I've been doing this during the day on weekdays for years, so people would obviously ask me, "What about your school?"

Also, I'm sure there are restrictions on underage dungeon diving... and if I got into any kind of danger, I could be forced to take a few months off for counseling or something.

That's such a hassle... Being an adult is easier after all.

◇

"...Something, um...Is it possible that Ruru-san is on the stream? Is she sending me something? Something...a curse or something?"

[Fukaya Ruru: "That's not true! Look! You don't have to put your smartphone on silent mode even in a safe area!"]

[lol]

[Well, that's what happens.]

[I think everyone would feel the same if they had experienced something like this]

[What is this... why did she get Monster House three times in a row...]

[Isn't the probability strange?]

[Dungeon-san, there's a bug]

[Mikazuki Emi: "Until now, there have only been minor issues with Ruru's streams and collaborations...Ruru, please log out. Then eat something. Try not to think about Haru as much as possible."]

[lol]

[Emi-Oneesan telling her to stop lol]

[Ruru-chan's curse... it's scary...]

[But it's homing to Ruru-chan again...]

[That's certainly a scary probability]

[Until now, all her misfortunes have been small enough to make a joke out of, so why is it only Haru-chan...?]

[...Come to think of it, the reason Haru-chan was found out to be having fun in secret was because of Ruru-chan...]

Whoosh whoosh.

Feeling refreshed after eating lunch, I headed down the stairs with energy.

--From there, I was unexpectedly surrounded by monster houses x3.

...Hey, isn't that girl really dangerous?

How about going for an exorcism or something?

And don't force it on me?

"Phew."

Even I would get anxious if I was surrounded three times in a row.

So normally I didn't move much...

"I'm already sweating..."

[Lick lick]

[Haru-chan's sweat...]

[Little girl's sweat... good]

[It's Shota's sweat!!]

[Newcomer Onee-san, you're doing great]

[lol]

[But Haru-chan, that's strange... how could a long-range user repels a Monster House solo without letting them get close even once...?]

[The moment she went down the stairs, there were several of them within 5 meters...?]

[Haru-chan calmly shoots away while spinning around...]

[She subjugated almost all the monsters on the floor in a minute without moving much... What is this...?]

[Headshot loli is awesome]

[This skill alone shows she's an adult, even though her height and voice are loli.]

[【Is she officially affiliated with an agency?】]

[【Which method can I choose to contact her?】]

[【Is there any more information about her?】] (TL note : double brackets for foreigners)

[An overwhelming wave of overseas competitors]

[It's amazing how we can understand even if we can't read them]

[Someone please tell them to contact Emi-mama's place]

[I wish Haru-chan would at least take a look at the chat for a moment...]

[That's impossible. Primordials said that she only looks at the first and last comments at the start, right?]

[If Primordials say so, then it can't be helped]

[My name is starting to change to 'Primordial'...]

[Is that okay? There are 10 people called the primordials, right?]

[The 10 primordial brothers... I don't like that.]

[lol]

I don't usually get this anxious.

I mean, it's possible to be surrounded when you go down the stairs, but for that to happen on the next floor or the floor after that?

If it keeps going like this, will I keep getting surrounded?

You're kidding, right?

"...When I get back, I have to tell Ruru-san not to send anything."

[Fukaya Ruru: "Huh!?"]

[Mikazuki Emi: "Please, log out now."]

[lol]

[She's still here lol]

[But wait, is Haru-chan, living with Ruru-chan...?]
