Ikezawa-san is being targeted.
That statement made everyone tense.
However, the person being targeted himself…
“Huh? Me?”
He looked completely uninterested, as if he had no sense of caution or tension at all.
“I wonder what kind of person would target me! I’d love to see them with my own eyes!”
Well, Ikezawa-san probably feels uncomfortable being targeted by someone unknown. Maybe I should just tell him the identity of the person.
“Uh, it’s this streamer. Apparently, she’s called Reina Shindo’ by others. I’ve never called her that, though.”
I showed Ikezawa-san my phone screen. It opened to the homepage of the female streamer’s channel.
There was a picture of a woman wearing clothes that emphasized her chest.
“Whoa! She’s huge… and cute…”
Ikezawa-san was staring intently at the screen. Is he okay? I wonder if he’s being swayed by this woman’s charm?
“Wow, yeah… I guess it might be a bit enviable to be targeted by her.”
Kōya even said that. Well, I suppose it’s fine since Kōya doesn’t seem to be targeted at the moment.
“Hmm. I see. But, I must say, the fact that someone would target you, Kaito-kun, is impressive. That’s some sharp insight.”
As Shiba-san said, it’s pretty amazing that the person noticed Ikezawa-san’s abilities and took action so quickly.
However, for them to suddenly DM me about wanting to collaborate with Ikezawa-san shows a lot of guts… or confidence… it almost feels like they didn’t think they’d be rejected, just from the tone of the message.
“So, what about you, Kaito-kun? Would you be interested in accepting the collaboration request?”
Daigo-san gave Ikezawa-san a sideways glance. Ikezawa-san seemed to be pondering the question.
“Well, you see… with my personality, if a beautiful woman praises me like that, I’d probably just agree without thinking…”
I can’t deny that.
“So, if that happens, I might end up betraying everyone, so I don’t want to accept this collaboration. Sorry.”
Good for him. He managed to suppress his lecherous side and made the right call.
“No, Ikezawa-san. As the representative of the agency, I also had no intention of accepting this collaboration. I’m glad we share the same feeling.”
“Exactly! I can’t betray everyone!”
It makes me happy that he already feels a sense of camaraderie, even though he hasn’t been here long.
So, I gently contacted the other party to decline, and that day ended with the meeting being adjourned.
Dungeon Streamer Agency “Shadow Stars” Discussion Thread

Kaito is too strong, lol.
122: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
Is Kaito a newbie?
Is he really that strong? He moves like a complete beginner and looks like a total weakling.
122: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Watch the stream and see.
Apparently, his abilities were awakened by the magical influence of the dungeon.
123: Anonymous ID: mkuxxx
Honestly, I envy Kaito’s ability.
If I had that ability, I could make a name for myself as a dungeon streamer.
124: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
No way, lol.
It’s definitely a useful ability, but it consumes a lot of MP, so it’s tough to use effectively.
Do you understand that Kaito can store up MP because Shiba is at the front?
125: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Exactly.
Daigo also mentioned how high the MP consumption is.
If Kaito teamed up with >>123, he wouldn’t be able to use his abilities properly and would get killed.
126: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
It all depends on the party members whether Kaito can use his abilities or not.
And the ones who can’t make use of their teammates’ abilities are the ones who end up getting exiled.
127: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Completely useless, lol.
128: Anonymous ID: mkuxxx
No need to say all that!
Geez, I’m hurt now. I’ll be asking for compensation!
129: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Well, if Daigo could keep fighting even without magic, he’d become a beast in any party.
130: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
I watched the stream.
What is this? He can cast magic on everyone just by shouting? Isn’t that OP?
131: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Plus, she specializes in supportive magic, so it’s even crazier.
I never expected someone to overcome the weakness of support magic, which couldn’t be cast on everyone.
132: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
Seriously, where does Shadow Stars find such talented people?
133: Anonymous ID: mkuxxx
I get how they can recruit big names like Shiba and Daigo,
But how do they find minor talents like Jin and Kaito?
134: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
For now, Kōya is the weakest, right?
135: Anonymous ID: mkuxxx
Kōya may be weak, but he can still act as a meat shield and reduce Shiba’s burden.
I guess that’s why they keep him around, even if he’s weak.
136: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Shut up, newbies.
Considering Kōya’s a beginner, there’s still room for growth, and he’s still pretty strong.
137: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
Exactly.
The others are just that strong. Kōya is strong enough.
Anyone who can’t see Kōya’s potential is useless.
138: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Don’t forget, Shiba is just too strong.
Sure, Kōya doesn’t have any unique strengths, but you’ll be in trouble without him.
139: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
No matter what Kōya does, you’ll just say, “Well, Shiba could do that better.”
140: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Why don’t you realize how crazy it is that Kōya is even being compared to Shiba, who’s an expert?
141: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
For now, Jin hasn’t officially joined either.
As long as Jin isn’t part of the team, Kōya’s needed to help reduce Shiba’s burden.
142: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
That basically means you’re saying Kōya’s useless if Jin joins, right?
143: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
What’s your problem? Are you anti-Kōya?
143: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
I’m just giving my opinion on the stream.
If I were on the agency side, I’d recruit Jin and fire Kōya.
144: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
Firing him is ridiculous.
If you said that Kōya’s weak compared to others, I’d get it, but firing him with all his potential is just short-sighted.
145: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
If Jin’s around, Kōya’s unnecessary.
Jin can fight with martial arts and even cut things with his hands.
He’s stronger than Kōya, who only swings a sword.
146: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
You forgot, didn’t you? Jin’s tough, but that means he doesn’t build up MP well and can barely use magic.
Kōya can at least use some basic magic.
147: Anonymous ID: mkuxxx
If we need someone who can use magic at the front, Shiba’s the one.
148: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Shiba also needs support.
MP isn’t infinite, you know. Kōya isn’t dragging anyone down, so firing him doesn’t make sense.
149: Anonymous ID: mhgxxx
Without Jin, isn’t it hard for Shiba to protect two people in the back?
That’s why Kōya is still needed.
150: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
Daigo is strong enough not to need protection. Argument won.
151: Anonymous ID: abrxxx
Daigo would’ve probably died without Shiba and Kōya’s help.
152: Anonymous ID: kdexxx
Saving Daigo was mostly Shiba’s achievement, though.
Kōya just killed some weak enemies.
