Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

:I love Asagao-chan

:I love Kanacon-chan

:Which one, lol

:Asagao-chan has gone corporate now

:Today's guest is a beauty

I was watching the archive of Asakawa-san and Miyamoto-san's stream from yesterday, and I couldn't help but notice something different about the comments section. I don't mean to be rude, but it seems like the hardcore fans who were obsessed with them are gone... or something like that?

I'm just speculating, but maybe it's because they joined a company where there are men involved? I don't really understand that kind of mentality, but recently, even my anti-threads have been getting pretty active.

"What are you watching?"

"...Yesterday's archive."

"Oh, Asagao-san and Kanacon-san's stream."

Panda—Doubayashi-san—peeked at my phone screen from behind.

It's just before 7 AM on a weekday, and both Panda and I were sitting on a bench near Shibuya Dungeon, waiting for Ashiya and Tennoji to arrive. The goal today is, of course, to help the three of them level up. Specifically, we aim to raise Ashiya and Tennoji's explorer rank from G to E.

"Oh, sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Good morning, boss!"

"...Just call me Kisaragi."

"Eh? But you're the boss now, so let me call you that!"

Hmm... Tennoji-san exudes this obvious "popular kid" aura. Ashiya-san chuckles, but Panda and I share a bit of an awkward response. So, it seems like Panda leans more towards being an introvert, while Ashiya is more of an extrovert.

Since everyone's gathered, I send out the party request. The party rank is treated as E since I'm here. Having two G-rank members means we probably shouldn't go to the middle levels... but honestly, even with two or three G-rank members, I think we'd be fine in the middle levels. However, today's focus is on basic training in the upper levels, so Panda's just along for the ride.

"Hey everyone, it's Kisaragi Tsukasa, and I still don't think we need a separate channel for the company."

:We need it

:But even if we create one…

:How about naming your channel "[early bird]Kisaragi Tsukasa ch"?

:Well, Kisaragi will probably handle the group streams anyway, so just using his channel is fine, right?

"...It's surprisingly crowded for a weekday morning."

"That's the brilliance of a million followers... Truly a boss."

"Boss, you're amazing!"

"Oh, um... yes, you're amazing, boss."

"You don't have to force yourself to join in, Ashiya. As for you, Panda, you're getting a scolding later."

"Why!?"

:Lol

:Panda started it, after all

:Panda, come on…

:Poor Panda, getting treated like the company pet

:Love the pet slot for Panda in early bird

Even so, it's really crowded this morning. Maybe it's because people are commuting, or there are students who haven't started classes yet. Also, since it's Monday, there might be some people who are off work today.

"As stated in the stream title and announcement, today's goal is to train the beginners, Ashiya Douman and Mimika, to be able to dominate the upper levels and reach Rank E by the end of the day."

"...That's weird. It took me about a year to go from F to E, didn't it?"

:Panda is just normal

:Kisaragi's the one who's crazy. Don't worry about it

:Panda is actually talented, too

:But Panda must have been evaluated as talented by Kisaragi to be accepted, right?

"I asked everyone to bring a weapon that matches their preferred combat style today..."

"Yep, I've got my usual."

"Me too!"

"I... I brought mine as well."

Since Panda has been streaming for a while, I already know his fighting style. His self-enhancement through magic is ridiculously strong, and he fights using a large shield and spear, attacking cautiously when there's an opening. It's a solid, if somewhat overly cautious, style. Online, he's often called "The Shield-Stabbing Chicken Panda."

Tennoji, as usual, has only a small dagger. And Ashiya is holding a bow. This matches what I knew about them from their interviews.

:Mimika-chan with just a dagger?

:That's a bit reckless…

:Ashiya-kun has a bow but no arrows, lol

:They're still rookies after all

:That's quite the unusual setup

:Meanwhile, Kisaragi just has one sword

:But Kisaragi is basically a walking weapon, so it's fine

"Okay, let's start by testing your skills on the upper-level enemies. Panda, you'll just defend, no attacking."

"Got it!"

Apparently, Tennoji-san has been in the Shibuya Dungeon before, but Ashiya just moved to Tokyo from the Tohoku region after joining early bird, so this will be his first time in the Shibuya Dungeon.

"Looks like we've got a few goblins coming our way."

"Let's go!"

Oh, she's charging in without waiting for instructions.

Against five goblins, Tennoji-san made a stabbing motion with her dagger from a distance. In the next moment, one goblin's head burst like a crushed fruit.

:Whoa

:Gross

:That's unsettling…

:What just happened?

:No idea…

:This is way too brutal

:I apologize for underestimating her earlier

What she did was essentially shoot magic from her dagger without solidifying it or shaping it into a proper spell. It's not very powerful, and normally it'd be hard to hit a specific target, but Tennoji-san seems to have the knack for it.

"Should I... go as well?"

"It'd help."

Tennoji had already darted off, so Ashiya slowly readied his bow. I already knew how he fought since he explained it during the interview.

The moment he released the bowstring, a blade of wind shot out from his bow and sliced a goblin clean in half. He doesn't use arrows but instead fires magical arrows using his bowstring.

"...They're much stronger than I was at G-rank."

"Don't worry, you're still stronger than them now."

"Really?"

:Lol Explore more at мѵʟ

:Panda, you're fine

:Kisaragi's analysis is always accurate… probably

:Mostly sure

:That's debatable, lol

:As long as Panda blocks, he'll be fine
