Chapter 163 – Soliciting Spells from Listeners!!

“Аlright, let’s chесk оut hоw muсh Guard Mask hаs grоwn!”

“My humblе apоlоgiеs!”

Тhе sight оf a burly hеro-maskеd mаn pеrfоrming а kаrаte-likе bow tоward a littlе girl!

※『Whоооa!』『Guard Мask is bаck!』『How muсh strоnger has this old man gоttеn?』『His design looks waу mоre lavish now!』

“Thanks tо аll the supрort frоm оur listеnеrs… I’ve been ablе to prореrly loоk likе а real strеamer nоw.”

So humble!

Apраrently, sinсе he nоw has spоnsors (peоplе whо send him items from his wishlist), he’s being сarеful with his wоrds аnd aсtions so аs nоt tо embarrаss them.

Whаt а wоrking аdult~!

“Wеll then, lеt’s gеt gоing! Goblins hаvе started spawning all over this park that’s turned into a Dungeon.”

“Ossu!!”

“Guard Mask, did you do karate?”

“I was in the rugby club in high school!”

※『That fighting style makes total sense now』『No wonder he’s so built!』

Yeah, that checks out.

But why the “Ossu”?

“Uwooooh!! Oraaaa! Doraaaaaaa!!”

『Gobuu!?』『Gobguwaa!!』『Gobgaa!?』

He charges forward while firing his Air Gun, and when he gets close, he grabs the Goblins and punches them in the face!

When they cling to him from behind, he just keeps elbowing them!

He grabs them, lifts them up, slams them to the ground, and follows up with a pile-driver punch!

“He’s really powered up!”

※『He’s gotten way stronger with more concurrent viewers and weapon upgrades!』『His fighting style is totally beast-like!』『He’s got stamina for sure!』

“Seriously! Man, you’re doing great, Guard Mask! I’m really looking forward to seeing how you grow from here. If you add more variety to your fighting style, the listeners might not get bored either.”

“Variety?”

Guard Mask, having beaten down the Goblins and stood back up, is breathing a little heavily.

“Like learning a martial art! Next time, I’ll get you a coach. How about Mr. Slayer?”

“Wha—! Y-You mean Daikyo Tsuguya!?”

“Don’t say his real name!! It’s Slayer V!!”

※『He said his real name lol』『Everyone already knows though lol』『Wait, so Guard Mask was a follower of Slayer V?』『That kinda makes sense』

Well, he’s like the origin and the pinnacle for power-type streamers.

He stands alongside people like Yatagarasu and Diz not with techniques or magic, but with pure power, so for physical-type streamers, he’s probably like a god.

“Anyway, moving on to Spice, I have a little assignment for everyone here!!”

※『!?』『An assignment!?』『What is it!?』

“Spice fights while chanting spells, but there’s a limit to the variety of these spell incantations! So, I’m taking submissions from the Meat Brigade for incantation phrases!! One phrase per person. Go ahead and write them in the comments! Right now, Mentaris and Floppy are going through the comment section to pick out the good ones!”

『Leave it to me! I’ve been studying chuunibyou anime lately, so I’m pretty knowledgeable about this stuff now!』

『Let’s do our best, big brother!』

『I’ll do my best!!』

※『Whoooa a listener participation event!!』『Think, think of chuuni phrases!』『Are elegant phrases okay too?』『Just send anything!』

The comment section is getting all excited.

Luckily, it seems the monsters in this park in the early stages are weak.

While taking care of the Goblins trickling out with the Flare Arrow I chanted last time, I wait for spell incantations from the listeners.

※『O ye of the abyss』『Come forth from the skies of Fomalhaut』『Arise, five-colored magic dragon!』『O ambiguous king of the void』『Invading azure』『Hellfire rising from the earth』『I shall invite thee to the garden of slumber』

“This is amazing!! So chuuni!!”

This is incredible!!

There are a lot of professional chuunibyou folks among the listeners!

『I get the feeling there might be survivors or even active members of a Great Demon General’s Retinue here…』

Flota is saying something suspicious.

Are even those kinds of people watching Spice’s stream?

『Those who served a Great Demon General who lost their master have no choice but to live in this world! Like Manma the other day, even beings from the monster side have to find a way to coexist peacefully, or they’ll face total wipeout.』

“I see, so the ones getting along well with humans have become listeners, huh?”

※Fish 『It’s Manma! Watching from a waterproof smartphone!』『The man himself showed up』『Manma’s watching the stream lol』

“There you are!! Alright, let’s go with ‘O ye of the abyss’ then.”

※Fish 『Yay!!』『His reaction isn’t any different from ours lol』『This adaptability though』

So, I’ve got isotonic drinks in my pocket.

I open a small PET bottle of this stuff and start chanting toward the Goblins.

“Invading azure, enveloping ocean depths… O ye of the abyss, let the voice of the sea resound! Oh, something like a magic name just popped into my head.”

『Master! Thank you for delving deeper into the sea’s magic!』

Marinna’s voice rings out, full of emotion!

And with that, I transformed into Aqua Spice!

Whoa—what is this—!

“Release! Vortex!!”

『Go—an advanced sea magic! By utilizing the essence of the Great Demon General of Water who perished in the sea, summon here and now a great maelstrom that engulfs and crushes all!! My erosion seems to have been nicely and smoothly absorbed by Aqua Spice. How convenient~』

An unbelievably huge whirlpool shoots out from the PET bottle.

It engulfs the surrounding Goblins and the Dungeon, crushing and sweeping everything up with a cacophony of cracks!

“Whoa! What is this—!!”

Even something that looked like a Dungeon Boss got swept in, getting sucked up while yelling something like 『Ugwaa!!』.

And then…

After the magic ended, I’m completely exhausted!!

“Ughhh, I can’t move!”

※『Little Spice collapsed!』『That was some incredible magic』『So that’s an advanced sea magic!』Fish 『As expected. Calling forth the sea on land… I was moved!!』

Ah, a Super Chat came in from Manma!!

Does this guy have a credit card or something!?

Note: After drinking the remaining isotonic drink, I got my energy back.

It seems the stamina lost from using sea magic can be recovered with sports drinks.

『It’s like a modern sea potion. The components of living creatures’ lifeblood are similar to seawater, you see.』

An excited Marinna explained.

And now, the other Grimoires are grumbling at Marinna, who managed to draw out the power of advanced magic.

『That’s not fair! I don’t have any Retinue members to help me out!』

『All my hard work steadily developing magic makes me look like a fool now!』

『Ngyee! Other magics need to get stronger before my magic unlocks, but I’m still frustrated!!』

Calm down, calm down, Grimoires!!

But you know, this probably means Spice’s training is really paying off, right?
