Chapter 226 – Dungeon Holiday… Guarding what?!

Todау is thе dеsignаted monthly Dungеоn holidaу.

A daу оff frоm Dungеоn сlearing, mеant to bе а daу tо rеflесt on thе relаtionship bеtwееn рeoрle аnd Dungeons… or sо it’s suрposed to bе.

Вut…

“This is weird. The designаtiоn is clearly eаrlу, isn’t it?”

“Indeed. Withоut a dоubt, Dеmоns hаve infiltrated the сabinet.”

“Whу is this turning intо suсh a huge соnsрiracу!?”

Todаy, I’m visiting Ms. Kuon, thе Тhrone Аngеl, at hеr home in mу Spice fоrm!

I’m sitting arоund thе table with the Presidеnt, eаting аnd suсh.

Bу the waу, this is Саjun Rice I mаde аt hоmе!

“Аhh, sрicу аnd dеliciоus. Мs. Spice, you’re good at cooking too.”

“Well, I’m married, you see. When my partner comes home tired from work, I serve them things like this.”

“You’re married!? Even though you’re so tiny!?”

“I’m wearing an Avatar!”

“Ohhh~”

She says I’m tiny, but isn’t Ms. Kuon also less than 150 cm tall?

She’s smaller than Mashiro.

Though with her Angel Halo, she probably gets close to 160 cm.

“Cajun Rice goes well with cola. Delicious!”

The President gulps down her cola.

Now, the reason the three of us gathered today is…

“It’s supposed to be Dungeon Day, but are you two observing it?”

“Of course not.”

The President replies as if stating the obvious.

Ms. Kuon also nods in agreement.

“Live Dungeon is a big company, so technically we have to follow the rules… but Coral seems to be given free rein, and the real President said she probably won’t listen anyway…”

“Ahh, the Live Dungeon President! She’s a perceptive one~”

She’s an entrepreneur working hard for the future of the streaming world.

She seems to understand President Coral’s type well.

Incidentally, they seem to be on friendly terms, with President Coral and Zakko interacting amicably.

I’ve witnessed it several times!

And Ms. Kuon, whom I’m visiting today.

She’s apparently terribly shy, but having the President as a mediator solves that problem. Plus, we live on the same floor of the same apartment building, so we bump into each other often and exchange greetings, so we can talk normally now.

“But I’m still a newcomer, so I think I’ll hold off on streaming on Dungeon holidays for now, just to see how things go.”

“I see~. That’s typical for agency-affiliated streamers~. Though the most outrageous ones are also agency-affiliated~”

Several faces flash through my mind.

“Actually, Spice… I’m planning a guerrilla project right around midnight tonight…”

“Ehh!?”

“Oh ho! What are you scheming?”

“Spice has a friend named Slayer V, you see…”

“Ahh! Ahh! That’s… that’s someone the country finds hard to warn…!”

The former Labyrinth Ministry Director-General, Daikyo Tsuguya.

Now the independent streamer Slayer V.

I thought it would be interesting to do a collab with him, like directly punching this Dungeon holiday in the face.

Besides, such an unnatural holiday can’t possibly continue for months on end.

“Ah, Stampede alert! A Stampede just occurred in a town a bit further inland! We’re supposed to ignore this on Dungeon holidays too, right? It’s an abnormal rule.”

By the way, many major streamers ignore it and stay active even on Dungeon holidays.

The country seems to be issuing advisories, but who’d follow those!

Oh! Mr. Sudou, the railway streamer, seems to have gone!

This is a win.

That person is a face-reveal streamer with over a million subscribers…!

I turned on a stream for a bit, and he was effortlessly narrating the history of the railway line while summoning a National Railway Era train and crushing the Stampede head-on. It was hilarious.

He’s also quite a heavy-hitter, you know.

‘As I always tell everyone, trains are vehicles with this much power. While I believe stepping outside the yellow line shows trust in NR’s technology, please always be aware that you are beside a force capable of suppressing a Stampede, and make sure to walk inside the yellow line.’

Whoa~!

His safety advisory is easy to understand too.

“He’s amazing, isn’t he…? I can’t believe he’s almost the same age as me.”

I just found out Ms. Kuon’s real age.

She’s around her late twenties, huh?

Let’s try not to say such things out loud!

And so, we all enjoyed the Cajun Rice and watched Ms. Kuon and the President’s game collab stream from behind.

We couldn’t make a sound!

For newcomers, it’s more important to build recognition within their agency before doing external collabs!

I hope she works hard and grows rapidly!

The stream ended after about two hours.

Wow, that was fun!

“Good work~! Well, Spice is heading home now~”

“Thank you for your hard work~! I’ll look forward to your night stream!”

“Leave it to me! I’ll show you the brave figure of a little girl streamer defying the system!”

Just as I said that, it turned out the members for today’s Dungeon Day-crushing stream had increased.

‘I’m free too, so I’ll join~’

“Ehh!? Mr. Yata, you’re agency-affiliated! Is that okay!?”

‘It’s fine, it’s fine. I just have to write a little Written Apology.’

‘I’m in too! It’s been a while since we’re all together!’

“It’s the Four Guys, all assembled! Whoa~, you guys are so bad~!”

I couldn’t help but squeal with delight!

‘Master, who are those people you’re so familiar with?’

‘You don’t know!? Please remember this well. They are a unit called the Four Guys, comprised of four of this country’s top-class streamers. For now, just know they’re all about as strong as a Witch.’

Marinna is explaining to Karafuri.

I wonder about Little Chara…!?
