Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

"Ah, there you are."

"Hm?"

While I was standing by the school gate, staring blankly at the cherry blossoms, Asakawa-san and her friend, Nonohara-san, came over. The only people I really got close to during high school were Asakawa-san and Nonohara-san.

"I\'m gonna miss graduation so much... Nanami and Kisaragi-kun aren\'t even going to university."

"Is it really that bad?"

"To be honest, graduation hasn\'t really hit me that hard."

"But you had so much fun during the school trip!"

Well... true. It was the first time I ever enjoyed a school trip. It served as a nice break from studying for exams, and everyone seemed to have fun. I guess it\'s a good thing that our school trip happened in our third year. Lately, more schools have been doing it in the second year instead.

"I\'ll definitely watch all your streams... I\'ll send a message after every one with my thoughts."

"You don\'t have to go that far..."

"Why not just let Nonohara-san do as she likes?"

It seems like a lot of people are choosing to go to university these days. Many even take out student loans to afford it because it\'s tough to get a job without a degree in today\'s world. There are so many companies that only hire fresh graduates now.

"Even after we graduate, we\'ll definitely meet again, right?! Even if you and Nanami become super famous!"

"Hmm... I think Kisaragi-kun is already famous."

"Is that the point?"

People who say, "Let\'s definitely meet again someday!" usually never do. Introverts remember those promises and get excited about them, but in reality, no one else remembers. Well, a lot happened, but... with this, my high school life has come to an end. I didn\'t really do anything "youthful" until my third year, but at least I met Asakawa-san and became friends. That was good...

though we\'ll be working together starting in April.

A few weeks after graduation, April came quickly. There\'s a saying that humans experience half of their life\'s perceived time by the age of 19, but I guess you can\'t truly understand that until you\'re over 19. At least for me, the time from the graduation ceremony to this first week of April passed incredibly fast.

"Well... good morning."

"Good morning!"

"Uh, good morning?"

We were in the completed office, greeting the employees who would be working with us. In the end, the employees I quickly hired for \'early bird\' totaled 12 people: 5 streamers, 2 young tax accountants who were introduced to me, and 5 office workers who would also serve as managers. As the CEO, I\'m not counted among them.

"Well... I\'ll just say this upfront, I\'m hoping we can take things pretty easy for now. We\'ll start thinking more seriously when the company grows, but for now, we\'re still pretty small."

To grow the company, the first thing we need to do is boost the popularity of the streamers we have. That said, we already have quite an impressive lineup: Asakawa-san, who has hundreds of thousands of subscribers; Miyamoto-san, who is approaching 100,000; and Douba Rin, who has tens of thousands of followers.

"Do we need to do introductions?"

"That can wait, don\'t you think? I doubt anyone here applied without knowing who you are, Tsukasa-kun."

Everyone nodded in agreement at Asakawa\'s words. Hmm... it\'s true, I\'ve already met all of these people in person or interviewed them, so I know all their faces and names as well as their profiles. I guess it\'s fine to let the employees introduce themselves to each other on their own, without forcing it. As an introvert, the idea of mandatory introductions sounds pretty rough to me.

"Alright, streamers, let\'s get started with a quick introduction stream now. Thanks!"

"Got it!"

We already announced it on social media, so I expect a lot of viewers, even though it\'s a weekday afternoon.

By the way, the streamers will be streaming as often as possible, while the office workers get weekends off. If anything goes wrong, I\'ll handle it.

Renting office space near Shibuya Station isn\'t cheap, but cutting corners there would be a mistake, so I made sure to rent two floors. One is for the office staff and tax accountants to work, and the other is a larger space that we can use for various streams.

We\'ll be working with two full floors—one for streaming and one for everything else.

"Alright, hello... The company equipment is still being set up, so I\'m greeting you from my personal camera."

: Hello?

: Is this the streamer intro?

: Finally, moving into the startup phase

: It\'s not corporate; it\'s a startup phase, right?

: You started your own company, so yeah, it\'s a startup

: I\'ve been waiting for this!

"The first introduction is from Kisaragi Tsukasa of [Kisaragi Tsukasa Channel]... That\'s me."

: A model CEO, leading by example

: Also happens to be Japan\'s strongest

: We know who you are

: Isn\'t this already your channel, Kisaragi Tsukasa Channel?

: Aren\'t you going to make a dedicated \'early bird\' channel?

"Do we need that? I think everyone can just keep using their own channels, don\'t you?"

: Of course you need it

: So laid back

: That\'s the Kisaragi we know

: Classic Kisaragi move

Can you stop making me sound like I have no plan?

"Alright, next up."

"Me! I\'m Asagao!"

: Asagao-chan! ^^

: Still the healing presence, as always

: Though she\'s starting to seem more and more non-human

: Curse you, Kisaragi, for turning the healing presence into a monster

: So much resentment, lol

"I have nothing to do with that. Asagao is pursuing power on her own; I am not responsible. I declare myself innocent."

Explorers are people who seek power, after all.

"I\'m... Kanacon. I\'ve taken off the mask."

: Did we just see her face!? Stay updated with мѵʟ

: Kanacon is way more beautiful than I imagined

: She\'s finally showing her face

: No mask?

: Is she showing her face now because she\'s a corporate streamer?

: She\'s unbelievably gorgeous

: I didn\'t expect her to be this beautiful—I\'m speechless

: I think I might switch from being an Asagao fan to a Kanacon fan

"Uh, thank you?"

"For the person who said they\'re switching, I\'ve memorized your name, okay?"

: Yikes

: You better apologize

: You\'re about to get obliterated

So far, these are people I\'ve collaborated with before, so the audience is familiar with them. From here on, the new members will be introduced. I hope the viewers welcome them warmly, even if it\'s a bit rough around the edges. Honestly, I trust the audience enough not to be too worried about it.
