Ch.140 My First Dungeon Stream (The Real One) Part 2

[Huh?]

[Haru-chan?]

[She hasn't moved for a while now.]

[Trouble occurred?]

[And there's no initial comment...]

I suppose it'll be fine since I'm inside a dungeon, but just to be safe, I'll be careful not to talk to myself... Hmm...

The person closest to me... seems okay?

Is it though?

Like that, I concentrate my attention for a while.

From what I can see with my scouting skills... or rather, I can see all the way down to the lower floors, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of any signs of life other than monsters coming this way.

Well, I guess so.

This place is not a particularly high-level dungeon, and there's still plenty of time for monster turnover.

Everyone quickly gets off the bus to look for something good, don't they?

So let's get on with it

"!"

……Oops.

As I tried to walk with my gun raised as usual, I nearly tripped and fell forward.

...Ah, that surprised me...

Right, I didn't notice it when I was just walking around, but... Certainly, my body has changed.

My center of gravity and muscle strength are so different now.

That was a close call, I need to be more careful.

[Uwa]

[I was surprised!]

[Did Haru-chan almost fall?]

[Did you stumble?]

[In a place with nothing?]

[She's not Ruru-chan, you know]

[Whoa there, that's another child's name... Haru-chan probably won't mind, but it's strictly forbidden.]

[Sorry]

[Forgiven]

[A gentle world]

[But this is the first time Haru-chan has ever acted like this, isn't it?]

...Yeah, I'll be careful.

Because the body's sensations are different, I might get caught off guard, or miss a shot and cause a major disaster.

There's really nothing I can do about it.

[But... It's sad that she doesn't even take a glance over here...]

[Yeah... Haru-chan probably won't read comments.]

[She didn't even say hello today... Is she feeling unwell?]

[It would be great to have monetization and Fanbox at times like this.]

[Well, it can't be helped, it's Haru-chan after all.]

[Even so, she usually types a greeting right after the stream starts...]

And... as expected, this weapon is heavy.

A sniper rifle so heavy i can feel it in my arm.

I could probably hold it if you reinforce myself with magic, but in return, I would lose the mana I would use during the fight and emergency support.

I tried lifting and lowering it to check, but it's still heavy.

Oh, the tragedy of a little girl.

Thinking about it, even without muscles, a man is still a man, even somone like me.

[...? Isn't the perspective a bit low?]

[... She probably changed the camera from above her head, i think?]

[I see...]

[I'll be stepping away for a moment. It's number 26.] (TL: I honestly have no Idea what that even means)

[Really? Okay.]

...I need to find a lighter one...and the barrel needs to be short, otherwise it'll be a real struggle just to carry this thing.

A little girl wielding a huge weapon is romantic, but once you actually become a little girl, you realize it's quite a challenge.

I really need to find something that fits me properly.

◇◆◇

Let's pull myself together and concentrate...

"................................................"

...Far down the corridor... Distance: 350.

Monster... four-legged, unsuspecting.

I crouched down...it was heavy so I placed it on a good rock and carefully aimed.

Concentrate, draw out something from within my body, and further increase my accuracy—

...Bang.

[This sound is my signal to begin work.]

[What do you do on days when Haru-chan isn't streaming?]

[Huh? Of course I'd be on vacation.]

[Hey, one of your subordinates came to me yesterday to make a petition.]

[Grandpa, get to work!]

[Too bad, this is my job]

[lol]

...Accuracy is not a problem.

Also, my dominant eye hasn't changed.

Hmm, then it looks like I can just do things as usual.

I'm relieved to know that at least there are no issues with shooting.

Even with this body, if I can somehow secure a safe place... and just wait patiently for the monsters to patrol, no accidents should happen, right?

Today, I'm not going to worry about costs and will just go with an excessively large safety margin.

[But Haru-chan is unusually active today.]

[That's true, normally she'd head straight to a sniping position.]

[Sniping repeatedly from the ground, and from low rocks no less, is just too innovative.]

[Haru-chan gets this much praise this much just for doing something normal]

[But it's Haru-chan after all...]

[Active or laid-back?]

[It's okay to do that once in a while. she probably just want a change of pace, right?]

...My physical abilities are probably quite low...

No, I think it's quite high for my physical age.

Probably at a level appropriate for me.

But still, my each is just completely different...

[Oh, and she didn't do any shooting from the ground or picking up stones today, did she?]

[Now that you say it]

[Since she's mainly doing long-range combat, considering the cost, her usual weapon is a slingshot shooting a stone.]

[This isn't the usual Haru-chan, is it...?]

[That shot from that distance must have been by Haru-chan.]

[That's true, but...]

[She must be running low on stones.]

However, my scouting and sniping skills feel quite sharp, so there shouldn't be any danger... I think.

Yeah, unless I make a really big mistake.

It's only been two days since I got this body, so I don't really know yet.

...But the gun is heavy after all.

If I stand in a place without rocks or anything, I start to tremble just from standing still.

Oh no, my legs are shaking.

This will ruin the sniping accuracy...

--Bang.

Oh.

...Bang.

[Eh?]

[Did she miss the first shot?]

[The rhythm was clearly different than usual, wasn't it?]

[...Something's definitely off today, isn't it?]

[Ah, I still feel a bit anxious.]

[That Haru-chan didn't get it in a single shot...?]

...I used two bullets on just one regular monster...and it wasn't even that far away, and I was just strolling along at a leisurely pace...

Oh, what a waste.

That said, I'm afraid of what might happen if someone gets too close to me.

I remember kids being prone to falling... I need to get some lightweight weapons soon.

◇◆◇

Before I knew it, about an hour had passed.

...I'm so tired...

Even climbing into a nice hollow in the wall, just like I always do, to rest while sniping.

My hands were shaking so much I almost dropped it... I would have dropped it if I hadn't reinforced myself several times the normal amount of magic I normally use.

My arm...

Even though It's only about a third of my weight...

"................................................"

...And I just realized this now.

[I'm worried.]

[I think she might caught a cold.]

[She said she likes alcohol, so is she hungover?]

[A professional dungeon explorer wouldn't do something like that.]

[She's a professional who insists it's just a hobby.]

[And it's Haru-chan, too!]

[The time is the same as usual... Hmm.]

...It seems I... live-streamed... What should I do?

W-well?

I noticed it when I tried to change the camera's direction as usual, before accidentally showing my face or anything, so it seems like they didn't realize I had turned into a little girl, so I'm safe...

I happened to take out my smartphone and saw the comments scrolling by... It made me feel like I was in that state where all the blood drained from my face and my stomach started to hurt, like when I made a pretty big mistake as a newcomer at the company.

Pom pom pain.

Such a strange word suddenly crossed my mind.

Oh no.

[Haru-chan, are you okay?]

[If you're feeling unwell, take a rest.]

[If you're feeling unwell, let's go home before it gets worse.]

[For us, Haru-chan's safety is more important than the live stream.]

...They're really worried about me...

Y-Yeah, certainly... I've been streaming for about three years now, so my regulars know my usual routines inside out...
