“Hey, how’s it going! Those who watched the daytime stream, we meet again! For those who are watching for the first time today, nice to meet you, I’m George! The regular at the Tonakayama Dungeon, George!”
“—!”
“Hi, Georgie!”
“Wait, didn’t you just blurt out some info that shouldn’t be heard? Is it okay?”
“Tonakayama Dungeon, where is that?”
Somehow, barely making it on time for the stream, I brushed off as much of the dust from my shabby clothes as I could and started the broadcast. It seemed like the comments couldn’t catch up with what I was saying immediately, but given that I was exposed to so many people and a few were on their phones, they must have already figured out that I was at the Tonakayama Dungeon. So, I thought, why not just admit it myself! And that’s what I did.
By the way, the traps that were sacrificed to help me escape, I was able to recover them safely. They were a bit damaged and warped, but they were still usable for everyday use. Phew, thank goodness!
“Some of you might already know, but I was just fighting an Aka-Ōdaishō, you know?”
“Aka-Ōdaishō, seriously? Lol”
“Images were already spreading around.”
So, it had already been spread. There was no chance to stop it, so I guess it can’t be helped, but it’s a little annoying. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it’s fine to take pictures, but I never gave permission to post them online!
Just to check, I took a look… oh no, there’s a photo of me sitting down. That’s embarrassing. On top of that, there’s also a shot from directly beneath me when I jumped and escaped. Hmm, honestly, isn’t this one getting more retweets?
“Argh! I never said you could post this photo, okay? I never said you could even take it!”
“I understand the urge to take it, but it’s not okay.”
“Yeah, I also wouldn’t be able to hold back either.”
“Just hold it back, as a person.”
This is something I can only trust people on.
Now, as if the conversation was over, I take out two items from the cooler box. The first one is deer rib meat and loin, sliced thin and marinated in sauce. The second one, I place with a loud bang on the table.
“Ta-da! The silver one!”
“—!”
“The silver one is the one, but it’s a bottle!”
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a fish for grilling?”
“I’m going to fillet it!”
Yes, it’s the famous dry bottled beer from the supermarket. Normally, I wouldn’t buy bottled beer, but since it’s a camp stream, I think it’s appropriate. Look, from the moment I take it out, Aurora is holding the glass above her head, eagerly waiting. Don’t rush, darling, I’m pouring it now.
The beer from the bottle has a different charm from the can. The liquid makes a popping sound as it dances with bubbles in the glass. I quickly pour Aurora’s share, then my own! Pouring it generously, I take a big gulp—
Ah, I realize I survived the Aka-Ōdaishō just for this drink. I quickly wipe away tears that almost started forming due to the carbonation. Alright, after quenching my throat, it’s time to start grilling!
“Please stop drinking and grilling in silence.”
“Isn’t the microphone too far for ASMR?”
“Oops, sorry about that. It’s just that the beer is so good, it’s not my fault!”
“Ambassador!?!”
“Wait, Aurora’s quietly drinking too! She’s eating kaki-pi while grilling meat, too, lol.”
“Eh? Oh, you’re right!”
“—♪”
When did she get those, but she’s really devouring the kaki-pi. That was supposed to be for me during the fashion show, but did she find them? It’s okay though, I wasn’t planning to keep them all to myself.
Hmm, the deer meat is delicious! I usually go with salt for grilled meat, but sometimes sauce isn’t bad either. It goes perfectly with the salted rice balls I brought from home. Yep, this is what BBQ is all about!
“Now, everyone, it’s time for the fashion show! But first, we have a warm-up.”
“Warm-up?”
“Strip show?”
“Yes, I’m going solo, entering the block!”
“WAIT!”
“Well, I just defeated the Aka-Ōdaishō, right? So look, I have this glorious treasure chest!”
I show the treasure chest that dropped from the Aka-Ōdaishō in front of the camera. The comments go wild. Looks like everyone loves this kind of stuff, huh?
I didn’t open the chest right there and took it home to use it as content for the stream! As expected, it’s getting a huge reaction, and I’m satisfied.
“By the way, does anyone know about the treasure chest dropped by Aka-Ōdaishō from other dungeons?”
“I’ve heard about the folding sword.”
“I’ve heard it also drops potions.”
“Ah, folding sword… that whip-like sword is so cool. I don’t think I could use it properly though.”
In manga, it’s used by a red-haired death god. In games, it’s wielded by an androgynous Sengoku warlord. I know that’s fictional, so it looks easy to handle, but in reality, it takes serious training to master.
If a folding sword comes out of this chest, maybe I’ll keep it as a souvenir and display it in my streaming room.
“I barely survived, so I hope it’s something memorable… now, let’s begin the unboxing ceremony!”
“Explosion, please!”
“Will it be good or bad?”
I put my hand on the lid of the chest. Aurora, curious about the contents, jumps onto my shoulder with a glass in hand. It’s fine, but please don’t spill water on my clothes. That would surprise me.
Let’s open it again! Huh? There’s no glow like with the arrow chest? Now that I think about it, the trap set didn’t glow either. So, what was up with that arrow? Right now it’s stored in the A card… oh, wait, right! This is about the treasure chest’s contents. Hmm, there are two things?
“A red snake leather wallet and… a snake leather belt?”
