Chapter 25

Captain Kaito

Daigo stared intently into Ikezawaโ€™s eyes.

If I remember correctly, Daigoโ€™s eyes mutated under the influence of the dungeonโ€™s magic, allowing him to see someoneโ€™s potential as a dungeon streamer just by looking at them.

โ€œUhโ€ฆ Daigo-san? Is there something on my face?โ€

The two stare at each other. This isโ€ฆadorable.

Could it be that theyโ€™re falling in love?

I canโ€™t handle the cuteness!

I saw some comments that seemed to be going down that path, but I decided to ignore them. Everyone enjoys streams in their own way, and as long as it doesnโ€™t bother anyone else, itโ€™s best to let it go.

Daigo nodded and then placed a hand on Ikezawaโ€™s shoulder.

โ€œAh, I see. This is an unexpected talent. Kaito-kun, it seems the dungeonโ€™s magic has affected your throat, giving you a unique trait.โ€

โ€œHuh? What do you mean?โ€

โ€œIn short, you possess the rare ability to infuse magic into your voice. You can choose to grant magical effects to anyone who hears you, as long as you focus on them.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ?โ€

Ikezawa looked somewhat puzzled.

โ€œTo put it simply, Kaito-kun can cast magic on those who hear his voice. The strength, precision, and effect of that magic depend on how the voice soundsโ€”basically, how loud it is. So, a loud voice suits this ability perfectly.โ€

โ€œLoudness, huh?โ€

โ€œYes, the original volume of his voice plays a part, but the effect also depends on the listenerโ€™s hearing and their proximity. Thatโ€™s how it works.โ€

Listening to Daigoโ€™s explanation, I started to understand Ikezawaโ€™s ability better.

He can cast magic on those who hear himโ€”an ideal skill for Ikezawa, who has a loud voice and excels at support magic. Moreover, unlike most support spells, he can cast his on multiple people, making it quite a formidable ability.

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ?โ€

Ikezawa still seemed a bit skeptical. Perhaps, even if this unique support magic was something special, it didnโ€™t align with what he truly wanted.

โ€œThatโ€™s amazing, Kaito-kun! You have an incredible talent!โ€

โ€œHuh?โ€

Yukiya started praising Ikezawa. Although Ikezawa looked a bit dumbfounded, Yukiya continued enthusiastically.

โ€œI mean, come on, isnโ€™t it awesome? You can empower your allies with just a command, like a captain! Cheerleading and magic buffs affect the teamโ€™s morale, making you an essential strategic figure.โ€

โ€œStrategic?โ€

โ€œExactly. Youโ€™re like a captain!โ€

At the word โ€œcaptain,โ€ Ikezawaโ€™s expression visibly softened. Maybe for someone with a soccer background, โ€œcaptainโ€ was the best thing they could hear.

โ€œA captainโ€ฆ So, I can lift everyoneโ€™s spirits by giving commands? Iโ€™m an irreplaceable part of this team!โ€

Ikezawaโ€™s face lit up with determination. Did Yukiyaโ€™s sincere words light a fire in his heart? Nicely done, Yukiya.

โ€œDaigo-san! I want to master support magic and become the backbone of this team as captain! Please teach me even more!โ€

โ€œOh, uh, itโ€™s good that youโ€™re motivated. Itโ€™s well-suited to your potential too, and from the back, youโ€™ll be able to oversee the whole team. If you widen your field of view and issue precise commands and magic, no one will match you as a captain.โ€

Daigo must have realized that โ€œcaptainโ€ was a key phrase for Ikezawa, as he used it skillfully. A seasoned mentor indeed.

โ€œHowever, because youโ€™re casting on multiple people, it will quickly drain your magic power. So, managing your MP properly is essential. Itโ€™s a position that requires a lot of thought. But with your talent, Kaito-kun, youโ€™ll manage.โ€

โ€œYes!โ€

Even as he cautioned Ikezawa, Daigo didnโ€™t forget to encourage himโ€”a master of morale support.

Wow! Shadow Stars has picked up some great talent.

Are they officially hiring Kaito? Great eye for talent!

If they dive into dungeons as a team, this ability will shine even more.

The comments turned to praising Ikezawa. Good, newbies need to build confidence.

โ€œMan, Shiba-san and Daigo-san are experienced and strong, and Kaito-kun has his own unique skill. Compared to them, Iโ€™m justโ€ฆโ€

โ€ฆHuh? Yukiya? Whatโ€™s he talking about? He mumbled, but it sounded self-deprecating.

Yukiya, despite being a beginner, was doing well as Shibaโ€™s partner. Itโ€™s natural that he doesnโ€™t compare to veterans like Shiba and Daigo. He doesnโ€™t need to worryโ€ฆbut maybe he feels pressured now that a newer recruit, Ikezawa, is getting attention.

This might also need some morale support.

The dungeon stream continued. With Ikezawaโ€™s newfound ability, they defeated monsters smoothly. Shiba especially was a force to be reckoned with, so much so that I almost felt sorry for the monsters.

The team returned safely, and the stream ended on a high note.

During the usual post-stream review, an exciting revelation came up.

โ€œHuh? Weโ€™re trending?โ€

On social media, Shadow Stars was trending, along with โ€œKaito,โ€ making it clear they were getting attention.

โ€œReally? Wow, my nameโ€™s trending! I never thought Iโ€™d become this famous.โ€

Of course, with a new talent appearing on the stream, theyโ€™d stand out and get talked about.

With just one stream, Ikezawa had shot to stardom.

โ€œMaybe other streamers will try to recruit me? What if a cute female streamer wants to collaborate?โ€

Heโ€™s clearly riding the high. But hey, itโ€™s healthier than wallowing in self-doubt.

โ€œKaito-kun, your ability is powerful, but if you make a mistake, our lives could be at risk. Donโ€™t forget that. A captain carries a heavy responsibility.โ€

โ€œY-Yes!โ€

Daigo really knew when to give serious advice. Heโ€™s a reliable adult.

โ€œHm?โ€

A direct message appeared on the Shadow Stars account. I recognized the sender.

โ€œHey, looks like weโ€™ve been offered a collaboration.โ€

I shared the news with the group.

โ€œCollaboration?โ€

Shiba looked wary, as if on guard.

โ€œYes. Daigo-san might remember herโ€”there was a woman who interviewed with us recently. Sheโ€™s the one who proposed this collab.โ€

โ€œOh, the one who markets herself with that โ€˜sexyโ€™ image. So she became a dungeon streamer after all?โ€

โ€œYeah. Sheโ€™s probably an independent creator, not with an agency. But itโ€™s likely she has her eye on Ikezawa.โ€
