Chapter 59 – Lively Comments

No comments were coming in at first.

Was Akashi-san holding them back?

Then, suddenly, comments started flooding in.

〔A Sharp Abnormal for Luck exists!? Seriously!?〕 

(There was one in Europe, right?) 

〔Beta is so cool! Marry me! I’ll manage your salary!〕 

〔Slime Sake requires at least Luck 50. If you’re 18 and have over 50 Luck, you’re basically set for life.〕 

〔Minimum yellow p**p〕 

〔↑Reported〕 

〔Being in a party commissioned by the government? That’s already winning.〕 

〔A guy with three girls in his party? Definitely winning.〕 

〔Are the other members strong too?〕

Surprisingly, the tone seemed positive.

It had been a bold confession, but I felt relieved.

Maybe Akashi-san was blocking any malicious comments, though that odd joke about ‘minimum yellow p**p’ still made it through.

What kind of humor is she into?

「We’re strong too, you know. I’m a Sharp Abnormal for Agility, and the other two are Awakened. Taira’s incredible, but together, we’re the strongest party.」

「That’s right. We can’t let Taira outshine us.」

「Yes! When a tough enemy appears, I’ll cast a spell that rivals anything Ichino-san can do!」

Their words reignited our determination.

〔This is a great party. Makes me want to call up my old hiking buddies and try climbing that mountain we failed to conquer.〕

That comment stirred something warm inside me.

So this is the joy of streaming.

Our actions can move someone’s heart.

And in turn, their words bring us joy.

It feels… really good.

〔If it’s Mount Fuji, now’s not the time. There’s a climbing ban.〕 

〔Everest? The Matterhorn?〕 

〔You probably haven’t heard of it, but it’s Tenpōzan.〕 

〔※Tenpōzan’s height: 4.53 meters.〕 

〔I was briefly inspired, but now I feel stupid.〕

Akashi-san really enjoys these simple jokes.

Please don’t kill the mood, though.

After defeating enough slimes, we ventured deeper.

The monsters on the fifth floor were stone golems.

「Stone golems are powerful but slow. They’re among the trickier monsters on this floor. Ayame, would you like to handle this one?」

「Yes! Release: Short Wind!」

Ayame controlled her spell perfectly, slicing the golem cleanly in half with a literal gust of wind. It dropped D-Coins and a magic stone.

「Monsters on the fifth floor are still manageable.」

「Mirror Stone—beautiful, but it’s a hassle to carry.」

「I’ll put it in my item box—wait, I sense a treasure chest ahead.」

I led the group to where the treasure was hidden.

Let’s see, what’s inside?

It’s only the fifth floor, so I didn’t expect much.

Opening it revealed… a D-Can. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these in a chest.

Hmm, this is…

I picked up the D-Can and handed it to Hime.

「Hime, hold on to this.」

「I should keep it……… Well… alright…」

She asked back and nodded.

That’s exactly what I mean.

This D-can will open if Hime has it.

【Opening Condition: The D-can will open after 2 hours if held by someone with an agility value of 300 or higher.】

It was another D-can meant for Hime.

It’s nice that it opens just by holding it.

When we reached the sixth floor, three stone soldiers appeared.

They seemed like a subtype of the Haniwa figurines.

「There’s a lot of stone monsters here.」

「Probably because we’re close to the stone cutting area.」

「Stone soldiers are rare monsters, aren’t they? What do they drop?」

Ayame asked.

It seemed even Hime didn’t remember.

From the comments:

〔Stone soldiers drop Stone Cutting Swords. They are sharp swords used to cut stone.〕

〔In Japan, they appear in the Inada Dungeon in Ibaraki. This is the second place it showed up.〕

〔The buyback price for Stone Cutting Swords is 140,000 yen.〕

〔Is that a pun on i (1) and shi (4)?〕

TN: stone cutting sword is ishikiri ken.

〔They rarely drop, so they could fetch a high price at auction.〕

〔It seems like a setup for Beta-san.〕

I thanked the viewers for their help.

Well then, I’ll take care of them.

I readied Futsu-no-Mitama and swung.

「Cleaving!」

With a single sweep, I cut through all three stone soldiers.

Their bodies split in half, and what was left were D-coins and two swords.

「Ah, sorry about that. You said these were rare.」

As I picked up the two Stone Cutting Swords,

「「「「Thought so」」」

〔〔〔Thought so〕〕〕

The synchronization between the three of them and the comments was impressive.

The viewers seemed to have been waiting, predicting this outcome but it seems like there’s a little lag.

I feel threatened by the over-educated viewers.

-0-

Descending to the tenth floor, we encountered a Stone Giant.

Though not huge, it was over 2 meters tall.

「Release: Stone Spear!」

Milk’s stone spear hit its mark, but the Stone Giant deflected it. Stone Spear is a powerful earth magic, but it seems the Stone Giant’s defense is higher.

By the way, using fire magic against the Stone Giant is forbidden.

It might be effective, but if we fail to defeat it, the heated stone could become a threat.

As the Stone Giant tried to retaliate against Milk, Hime used her skill:

「Attention, please!」

By drawing the Stone Giant’s focus to herself, Hime evaded its attacks and struck its joints precisely, bringing it down for good.

To flutter like a butterfly and sting like a bee—that’s probably what they meant about Hime.

However, the battles have been dragging on.

Even though Ayame’s magic can wear down and crush enemies, it can’t finish them off in one blow.

My sword can’t cut through its massive body either.

We end up targeting its relatively thin limbs and neck, but with the Stone Giant, even cutting off the head doesn’t kill it.

「Hey, everyone. Next, I’m going to use that spell.」

「That spell? Does it work on things other than zombies and skeletons?」

「Yes, it works particularly well on magical creatures like the Stone Giant.」

Well then, let’s trust in Milk.

The viewers were excited, commenting that 〔Delta-chan looks like she’s about to do something interesting.〕

However, even after over three hours of exploration, these guys are still here.

I wonder what they’re doing in the middle of a weekday.

「Over here.」

I guided them toward the presence of the monsters.

It was another Stone Giant, just like before.

「Milk-chan, do your best.」

「Thank you, Ayame. Here I go.」

Milk readied her staff and cast:

「Release: Holy Shower!」

Water burst forth, hitting the Stone Giant’s face.

Although it struck, there was no visible effect.

〔Did it work!?〕

〔It seems the magic name is under information regulation.〕

〔Stop with the failure flags.〕

〔Is Delta’s magic a forbidden term?〕

〔Delta-chan’s holy water, haa haa〕

〔↑Reported〕

〔It’s odd; water should be a weakness for stone types.〕

〔P〇kémon nerds, lol〕

〔Stone Giant: ‘Feeling refreshed’〕

The comments were filled with a sense of resignation.

The Stone Giant stood still, unmoving.

It seemed normal to think the attack was ineffective.

However, I was certain that Milk had succeeded.

The presence of the Stone Giant had vanished.

The Stone Giant, still standing, had turned into D-coins.

The viewers probably didn’t understand what happened.

So, Milk explained to everyone again.

「I can use drug magic to create potions. The holy water I created earlier is just one example; I can also make other potions. These created items disappear immediately, so they can’t be sold. Oh, and my level just went up.」

As Milk spoke, the comments erupted once more.

〔Unique magic has arrived―――(゜∀゜)―――― !!〕

〔It’s a unique magic!〕

〔Alchemical magic is amazing! Atelier Delta!〕

〔Congratulations on leveling up〕

〔【Breaking News】Delta-chan’s holy water was the real deal〕

〔When asked if it worked, the Stone Giant actually got taken out〕

〔The Stone Giant is a top-class monster even on the tenth floor, but taken down in one hit?〕

〔I read the explanation of this avatar streaming app that the Dungeon Bureau just announced. It seems that magic and skills not registered in the maximum privacy protection state are initially subject to information regulation. If the Dungeon video editor gives the okay, magic names should no longer be regulated.〕

〔Stone Giant: ‘I was so refreshed I ascended!’〕

The viewers were in high spirits.

The number of concurrent viewers seemed to be even higher than when my luck value was shown.

And then—

「Oshino-san, your bag is glowing!」

As Ayame pointed out, Hime’s waist was shining.

It looked like the time had come for Hime’s D-can to open.

    Holy water & Holy shower – should that be considered NFSW? 😋 Thanks.
