Ch.25 My Stream... Is Already Out There...

"Yuzuki-senpai!!"

"Whoa?! M-Mitsumiya-san?!"

Since then, we've cashed in the dungeon drops.

Just for today... I earned a whopping 3,000 yen.

With my part-time job, I need to stand around for about 5 hours to earn that much money.

With that much money earned, I then went to the shop in front of the dungeon and spent that same amount on just sweets and drinks—what an incredible luxury!

I feel like all my hard work was sucked away, and I'm also feeling really down because of the guilt...but unusually, I'm also in high spirits and having fun.

After a train and bus ride of about an hour, I returned home feeling unusually full.

I was in a good mood, so I was humming along with Omanju.

Thanks to Omanju I'd been holding onto the whole time, I finally started to calm down... and then, for some reason, Mitsumiya-san was at my house.

I was surprised the moment I stepped inside the house, realizing I'd forgotten to tell Okaa-san I wouldn't need lunch.

I was so surprised that I squeezed Omanju really hard and got scolded with a "Gyui"...

"Mitsumiya-san...? Um, why are you at my house on a day like this, a day off...?"

"This!!"

"......?"

She held out her smartphone...oh, she's got a new one again...and the screen was scrolling with what looked like comments from a video streaming site.

"?"

I wonder what she's trying to show.

I wonder if something happened during her Oshi's live stream.

She often says, "There's someone I really, really like" after all.

"Kyui."

"Senpa... uh, huh? Hasn't this child gotten bigger?"

"Un, he's gotten a little bigger, but some of it is just fur mass."

What's particularly long is the comb... or rather, the line from the forehead to the tail.

I'd say it's about 10 cm long.

The other parts are about 5 cm, so this one is a bit longer.

It's so fluffy and soft, it's incredibly comfortable to hug and cuddle.

"Do you want a hug?"

"Huh, is that okay?! Of course... No, wait!"

Unusually, Mitsumiya-san denied "cute" things.

Is the thing with her Oshi really that important?

Since she's a girl's favorite, it must be a male streamer, right?

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever really heard about Mitsumiya-san's preferences.

"?"

...I feel a bit uneasy in my chest.

I think I'm tired from moving around too much today.

"...Anyway, please come to your room!"

"My room, is it...? Sure."

Even though Mitsumiya-san and I have different daily routines, for some reason we often end up with the same shift.

Perhaps that's why at night she's saying, "This is part of my bridal training!" and helps me cook dinner with ingredients she bought at the supermarket on her way home.

"It's for utilities and rent!" She said, and she gave me more than the cost of the groceries, so it's a nice little help with my food expenses.

...Yeah, I know.

Perhaps she's concerned about our family's poverty.

But she remembered that I had said a long time ago that I couldn't accept money or gifts, so she's doing it in a way that's just enough to avoid being considered charity.

Perhaps because she knows this, even Tanaka-kun only ever says things like, "Tell me if you're in trouble! I'll give you more shifts at my place or at a shop owned by one of my dad's acquaintances! You're my useful subordinate, so tell me before you starve to death!"

...But that's one of the reasons I can't hate him.

Even though he's been a bully since we were little.

◇◆◇

...There are words lined up.

A huge, massive, enormous string of words.

[Good news: The little girl who appeared in the livestream of Dungeon #1056 was a unicorn tamer!]

[Her name is Yuzu-chan]

[Suspected of always carrying a baby unicorn around]

[So cute]

[A little girl who reached 10,000 subscribers without even venturing into a dungeon or doing anything else]

[A little girl who went viral after accidentally found at fixed point livestream and started her own chatting stream]

[A little girl living in the countryside whose purity has reached its limits]

[A little girl who deserves to be noticed by a unicorn]

[Based on observations from the fixed point livestream, her height is approximately 130-150 cm]

[It's possible that she's even more skinny because she's bulked up with food.]

[Natural-looking little girl]

[A little girl who's probably the world's only unicorn tamer]

[A little girl who was livestreaming from her room from the very beginning]

[A little girl's first livestream was a practice session for commentary]

[Yuzu-chan lick lick]

[A little girl who messed up even during a beginner's lesson]

[Since it's the default setting, all personal information, including Yuzu-chan's, is protected, so you can rest assured.]

[Good news: A little girl has made a soul pact as a trio of a real lol*, a unicorn little girl, and a big Onee-san]

[Note that the unicorn's attacks come from its horn]

[And on top of that, it's a cheat that uses laser attacks]

[Wow, little girls are strong]

[Unicorn is the strongest]

[A little girl who enjoys long-range area attacks]

[Huh? Is there any point in forming a party?]

[Yuzu-chan is so oblivious that she didn't even realize she'd gone viral and reached 30,000 subscribers.]

[Apparently, she doesn't use social media; her initial registration with the Dungeon Association is still just "Yuzu"]

[The other lol* calls her "Yuzuki-chan", so her name is Yuzuki.]

[But she's already been known as "Yuzu-chan," so we'll stick with that.]

"---Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

I was so surprised I fell over.

"...Thank goodness... Yuzuki-senpai, I was seriously worried about what I would do if you weren't surprised by this..."

In my room, on my bed.

Usually, after finishing the dinner we made together, she would say, "Eating makes me sleepy", and take a nap here before going home to her own bed.

It's my bed, you know... but because of that, about half of the smell is Mitsumiya-sam's... well, it's a nice smell and it feels reassuring, so I guess it's fine, but still...

So I was handed a tablet—"I'll share my recommended movies and dramas with you. Oh, I'm sharing this because I want to discuss our opinions with you. We're practically family, so it's okay, right?"—which was used to share video sites and watch things together.

—I was shown a page that someone had apparently compiled, which said, "Yuzu-chan, the promising new unicorn little girl."

Moreover, every time the page is refreshed, new comments keep replacing the older ones—

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

"Kyufui"

Just seeing it once leaves me confused.

"Kyufui!"

I read it again and my head and stomach felt cold.

I reread it three or four times...and finally understood what happened.

"Ah, even Yuzuki-senpai is flustered by this."

"...Wh, wh wh wh wh wh."

Mitsumiya-san caught the tablet that was about to fall from my trembling hand.

"Th-thank..."

"So, what do you want to do?"

Normally, she would patiently wait while I think, but for some reason, she won't wait today.

"It's practically obvious now, isn't it? If you go into the dungeon a few more times, they'll probably identify you and come after you."

--It's over.

My adventure ends here.

It ended before it even began.

"Well, it's the countryside, you know. ...And this was given to me by a friend..."

"Whoaaaa... It's spreading to the school too..."

"Yeah... I did think that lately I'd been getting asked about Yuzuki-senpai a lot around school. But I never imagined it would be like this... and everyone except those we've known for a while thinks Yuzuki-senpai is a girl..."

I hung my head in despair... so much so that I completely forgot all the fun things I'd had in the dungeon.

"Um, senpai? Your skirt... It's showing, is that okay?"

"What should I do what should I do what should I do what should I do..."

"...I'll take a picture."

"Kyui!"

"Oh, it's the 'Girigiri-ism'. You get it, don't you?" (TL: Girigiri-ism is basically a situation where you can almost see what's behind something, but not quite)

"Kyui!"
