Chapter 231 – The Summit Begins

Тhе strеаm title was “Strеаmеr Еnhаncement Рrоject Мeeting”… but frоm Sрiсе’s реrspeсtive, this was mоrе like а strеаmеr summit!

Sinсe thеy’rе all cоrроrаte streаmers, it’s рrobably hаrd fоr them to speаk frеely.

No one frоm Livе Dungeon or Now Fantаsу is here.

Wеll, Little Маtаgi frоm D-Spo! is here, but thаt’s becаusе оf her friendshiр with Littlе Нazuki.

“And sо! The middlе day of the finаl thrеe-daу wеekеnd of Goldеn Week is settlеd! Kirаbоshi Hazuki’s Streamer Еnhanсеmеnt Prоject~!”

Littlе Наzuki declаred, аnd Вееlzеbub clаngеd еmptу сans together to hype things up.

She’s a super major streamer dominating global trends, yet what cheap production values!!

“This project is about everyone thinking together about how streamers can gather concurrent viewers, power up, and challenge dungeons.”

She explained smoothly.

Hmm, she’s really grown!

She’s become a full-fledged entertainer.

I’d heard a rumor that she plans to graduate from streaming after her third year of high school… but seriously?

Isn’t that a waste after conquering the world?

No, the reason she reached the world’s summit at an astonishing speed, why everyone is charmed by her, and why even grimoires tremble before her incomprehensible strength, is probably precisely because she hasn’t staked her entire existence on being a streamer.

Probably, the girl named Kiraboshi Hazuki is still halfway on her path, and being a streamer is merely a passing point in her life.

“Ms. Spice, you’re making funny faces.”

Oops, Little Matagi caught me!

“But I get what you’re thinking. She’s really amazing for being so young. When I was in high school, I wasn’t thinking about anything. It was only after becoming an adult and getting my hunting rifle license that I started being able to think about various things.”

“Yeah yeah, Little Hazuki is just in a league of her own! We adults need to support her!”

Spice, who looks like a little girl, is actually the most adult here!

“Okay okay! So, Little Hazuki!”

“Yes, Little Yukui.”

“So we get a topic and do something, and Little Hazuki judges it? Haha, that’s interesting.”

“Hmm hmm, so it’s like, we show actions we think would make us popular in our own way, right?”

Little Yukui and Little Matagi reacted one after another, so here Spice crossed his arms, nodded with a knowing expression!

“Yeah yeah, I see.”

The comment section was getting excited with things like:

※『Wooooow Little Spice wooooow』『So cuteeeee』『Love the voice, even if it’s a voice crafted by a perfect voice changer, I love it』

Unfortunately… it’s not a voice changer but transformation, so it’s my natural voice…!!

“Okay. I, Kiraboshi Hazuki, will be your host. I thought I had communication issues, but I found out that with lots of people I know and a decent script, I can do it just fine.”

Little Hazuki chattered away without even looking at a script.

To think this was the same shy girl from before.

Overwhelming growth!

I kind of want to see what she becomes in the future.

And she has less than a year left.

This stream’s theme was about how to clear dungeons that have become more powerful.

It was a project to think about methods accessible to the average dungeon streamer, not from the perspective of the absolute powerhouse, Kiraboshi Hazuki.

But the format is unique…!

Oh, the topic shifted to Little Matagi, and a sponsored screen for a virtual ski board appeared!

Was there a sponsored stream for that too?!

Virtual ski boards are great…

Anyone can easily perform 3D three-dimensional maneuvering, and virtualized streamers can use them even inside dungeons.

Well, they cost close to the high five-figure range.

After that, Spice was called on, so he said something harmless.

There seem to be many people in the comment section who aren’t part of the Meat Brigade, talking about clips from a little while ago.

Oops, the topic drifted.

But here, the master host Kiraboshi Hazuki is in charge.

“Let’s pull the topic baaack! Here, I’ll give the topic: ‘The dungeon got super powerful~’, and everyone, please answer with: ‘I’ll counter it like this!'”

Wha, what a surprise, it’s an Oogiri comedy style!!

“The dungeon got super powerful~”

“Leave it to Yukui! I’ll take a selfie in a swimsuit and post on Tsubuyakix that I’m streaming it! Twippy or Necho-Necho Video is fine too! There’s tons of naughty stuff, so everyone will come watch~!”

That’s a proposal the Meat Brigade would rejoice over!

A decision that might make enemies of those who dislike sensitive content, but it might be a yes.

“Oooh!! That is indeed effective! Gentlemen seeking sensitive content are always prowling the net, so if they see freshly taken swimsuit photos or videos, they’ll rush right over!! Technique acknowledged! Here’s one zabuton cushion!”

『This is Bel-chan~. Here’s your zabuton~』

“Yay!”

But you can get zabuton cushions…

Little Yukui, whose mood shot up, transformed into her swimsuit look!

The listeners went wild with excitement.

※『It’s a Sakishima Tsutsuji patterned swimsuit!』『A tube top bikini with bright red Sakishima Tsutsuji flowers all over a white background, so cute~』

There’s a connoisseur familiar with southern flowers here!!

You can’t let your guard down because smart people are normally mixed in among the sensitive content crowd.

“Hmm, a woman’s weapon, huh…”

Little Matagi groaned.

Being from Hokkaido, a hunter-type streamer girl who hunts bears, her exposure level is always low.

“B-but depending on the place, I’d take things off too.”

At this statement, the listeners stirred.

One listener even posted a relevant URL.

“Ah, it seems a URL was posted in the comment section. My shikigami will check its safety, then I’ll paste it in the details section. Please check it~”

“Eeeek!? Wh-why is that video coming up here now!!”

“Since embarrassed Little Matagi is cute, I think I’ll give big sis here one zabuton.”

Little Hazuki, who seems to harbor an old man in her heart, smiled as she handed out a zabuton.

“Now, that was a good answer, but that’s limited to women, right? If it’s a man, even if he wears a swimsuit, people might not come… or maybe they would…? Is there an answer that works for all genders and ages? The dungeon got super powerful~”

Oh!

It seems a topic finally suited for Spice has arrived!

Spice, the only old man among the girls, will answer!

“Yes!”

“Yes, Little Spice! The dungeon got super powerful~”

“Okay then, okay then, let’s post it on Tsubuyakix with a cool or funny edited promotion! This way even guys can feel safe! I’d like clip masters to help with this too! The video would be on the clip master’s channel, guiding people from there to the streamer’s channel!”

A socially adept proposal where many people win-win!

“I see! That’s effective! For a guy’s swimsuit, it might be even more effective if he’s muscular or the pretty type? Posting it as promotion along with the swimsuit is definitely an option! Here’s a zabuton!”

Why muscular!?

But he received a zabuton.

Oh, it’s fluffy.

After that, comments flew out rapidly, and Little Yukui and Little Matagi earned many zabuton.

They won the prize: hot spring usage tickets for the Ikaruga Entertainment Dormitory.

That dorm has a hot spring…?

Watching the two girls rejoicing excitedly, Spice nodded with a warm smile and applauded.

“Congratula~tions!”

“Little Spice, you’re such a mature person.”

At Little Hazuki’s comment, Spice shrugged as if to say, “Nah, nah.”

“Since Spice’s soul is shaped like an old man, I thought maybe he could yield to people whose souls are shaped like girls.”

“Even though his appearance has become that of an old man, isn’t his soul shaped like Little Spice?”

“I get that a lot…”

Sharp.

If I become too Spice-like, Mashiro might get sad, so I want to keep it moderate.

And so, this event stream surpassed thirty thousand concurrent viewers and was a huge hit.

It also became an important event for strengthening streamers going forward!

And afterward, it seems promotional videos made in cooperation with clip masters, and swimsuits featuring cute designs or muscular avatars started trending.

If everyone does the same thing, you’ll get buried!

Show your individuality~!
