Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

"Sure. I\'m sorry."

: Lol.

: Head bowed too easily!

: Well, Kisaragi doesn\'t really care about that stuff.

: Doesn\'t he have any pride?

: Pride doesn\'t help you in dungeon exploration.

: He just doesn\'t have useless pride.

: He does have pride as an explorer, though.

Well, it\'s not like anything changes just because I bowed my head… It\'s not like the world will end if I do. Now, if bowing my head would bring about the end of the world, I\'d refuse no matter what. But since these people are just making a fuss on their own, they can keep doing that if they want.

"…"

"Um, are we done here? I\'d like to go home now."

"Do you think bowing your head will solve everything?"

"But you\'re the one who told me to apologize and bow my head, right?"

: Ah, I see.

: It\'s probably his first time dealing with this kind of person.

: These guys are such losers, huh.

: Getting annoying now.

: You can go home, Kisaragi.

: I\'ve reported Aikasu\'s stream already.

I just stopped by after school, so I\'d really like to head home… If there was a specific purpose to this, I might have been a bit more engaged, but I\'m seriously not in the mood today.

"So you\'re just trying to dodge responsibility and run away, huh? That weak apology won\'t cut it—make a proper one!"

"Hm?"

Suddenly, monsters appeared around us. There hadn\'t been any signs of them before, so I wonder… I thought other explorers had wiped them out today, but maybe something unusual is going on. Should\'ve been more alert instead of zoning out. Well, since the Explorer Association hasn\'t detected anything, it\'s probably not a major threat.

As I thought about that, both my device and Aikasu\'s phones began blaring with loud alarms.

: That startled me.

: My alarm just went off too.

: What\'s going on?

: Anyone else in Shibuya Dungeon\'s middle layers get the alarm?

"Hello?"

"Kisaragi, you\'re in the middle layers of Shibuya Dungeon right now, right?"

"Yeah, I\'m here."

"I\'m guessing you just noticed some magical anomalies, right?"

"Yeah… I\'d say that\'s accurate."

Another magical anomaly, huh… Though I think the frequency is lower this year compared to usual? I don\'t really keep track of those specifics—it\'s the Association\'s job—but I think I heard something about it on the news.

"The magical anomaly is at a +3 level."

"Just enough to trigger the alarm, huh?"

"Yeah, even though it\'s a low-level alert, we still need to address it… Since you\'re the closest, I\'d like you to handle it."

"Sure. I can already see it."

While Shino\'s explaining, I spot what looks like a bird flying above us. It\'s probably at a lower layer\'s difficulty level, way weaker than the Frost Wyvern Asakawa used to fight back when she was still inexperienced. Honestly, it\'s not a monster I should even need to deal with, but since it\'s right here, I might as well.

: Oh boy.

: Bad place to spawn, lol.

: It\'s over for that bird.

: Its lifespan was only a few minutes.

: Not even minutes, more like a few seconds, lol.

: Rip, bird.

"H-Hey, we\'re not done with our conversation—"

Something like that doesn\'t even require me to summon a Shikigami. I can just shoot some magic and finish it off.

I imagine an ice spear, materializing it above me, and launch it. I don\'t need to be too precise with my aim… If I\'m faster than it can react, there\'s no way it\'ll dodge. And if I miss, I\'ll just shoot fifty more at once next time.

: Goodbye, bird.

: Sad to see it go.

: Anomaly neutralized, lol.

: Is that really enough to solve it?

: The monster\'s at fault for showing up in front of an EX ranker.

"W-We weren\'t done talking—"

"It\'s done."

"Can you at least finish the call before you do that?"

"It\'s just more convenient to do it during the call rather than ending it and then starting again a few seconds later."

"…I\'ll post that the situation has been resolved on the website. Thanks."

Crisis averted. And just like that, the magical anomaly in Shibuya Dungeon is resolved.

"Oh, you\'re still here?"

Some of the guys who were glaring at me earlier are still standing around. They should really just stop being annoying streamers and head home already. I\'m done with my work, so I\'m seriously going home… I wasn\'t planning on working today anyway.

: Can\'t say anything now, huh, lol.

: So what\'s the plan for Aikasu now? No matter what they do, they\'ll forever be remembered as the ones who got scared of Kisaragi.

: They brought it on themselves, lol.

: I would\'ve already lost my temper, so Kisaragi\'s mental strength is impressive.

: Kisaragi has the strongest mentality, no doubt.

: Aikasu should just delete their channel and disappear.

Sigh… What should I do tomorrow? I\'m getting bored of only Shibuya and Hachioji Dungeons. Maybe it\'s time to ignore the viewers for once and do a stream where I explore dungeons purely for fun. Since I started streaming, I haven\'t been able to visit many dungeons across the country, and it\'s really starting to frustrate me.

After I got home and booted up my computer to do a casual chat stream, I saw a big headline featuring me and those annoying Aikasu guys. The title was something like, "EX Explorer Tsukasa Kisaragi and Troublemaker Streamers Get Into an Argument!?" Uh, we didn\'t argue, though.

Looking at SNS, I see a lot of people commenting on it, but honestly, I couldn\'t care less about the kind of mindless graffiti people post online. I\'ll just do a chat stream as usual.

"Huh… Are you all doing okay?"

: The usual.

Experience tales at m v|l e\'-NovelBin.net

: Why do you always suddenly start a chat stream out of nowhere?

: He doesn\'t have anyone to talk to, that\'s why.

: I don\'t have anyone to talk to either, so this helps.

: Oh look, it\'s the internet celebrity himself.

: Here\'s the guy who\'s trending again.

: You\'re on the news every day now, lol.

: He stands out, for better or worse.

"What\'s this \'for better or worse\'? I\'m a streamer, so standing out is part of the job."

: Nah, you stand out way more than most streamers.

: All you do is stream, yet you get so much attention.

: You don\'t even appear on TV, but you\'re everywhere.

: Rough day today, huh?

: Aikasu\'s channel got suspended, lol.

Oh, their account got suspended. Maybe it was because of their nuisance streaming… or maybe it was because I sent a complaint to Shishijima-san. Yeah, probably the latter. Shishijima-san must\'ve taken action. Letting dungeon explorers like that roam free would only cause more problems, so it\'s no surprise.

: Why are you always in the middle of some kind of trouble?

I\'d like to know that too.
