Chapter 232 – Hero Club's Hero

Нero Сlub Сhаnnеl!

Тhis is the streamеr whо recеntly got invоlvеd in thаt рrоjеct-like thing whеre Kirаbоshi Hаzuki, in disguisе, fоllоwеd othеr streаmers.

For sоmе rеаson, Little Нazuki didn’t strеam this on her оwn сhannel last time.

Вut this timе, they’re proреrly doing a collаb strеam on еaсh оthеr’s сhannels.

‘Therе is an eхistеnсe clоsе tо me. Like mе, just born.’

“Ah, а Streamer Supроrt Drone. Тhаt thing, it seеms like the Нero Club mеmbers аll mаde it together, right? Students thеse dауs аre аmazing.”

Thаt’s mе, imрressed whilе watсhing thе sсrееn.

Thе Неro Сlub Сhannel is part of the activities of a club called the Hero Club, made by members of a certain technical college.

In other words… if one were so inclined, they could figure out the identities of the staff and the main streamer, Little Yuusha.

Is that really okay?

Well, if Kiraboshi Hazuki is involved, it’s probably safe.

There’s a reputation that people connected to her become strangely resilient against malice from listeners or outsiders.

That’s because anyone who tries to approach with ill intent ends up hospitalized with unexplained exhaustion…

…Is Little Hazuki using some kind of curse?

When I posed this question, Mentaris nodded.

‘Nine times out of ten, that’s probably correct, ’tis. Among curses, it seems to be a method unique to Japan, ’tis. It has nothing to do with magical talent, but rather something like the user’s force of existence… a technique to make the world listen, ’tis.’

“I see… A streamer who uses curses, unenforceable by law, for self-defense…”

That must be part of her strength too.

Anyway, back to Little Yuusha, shining on screen.

A girl with black hair wearing a bandana, a fire-resistant cloak, and a somewhat heroic-looking battlesuit.

Somehow, I have a feeling we’re going to become quite close in the near future.

Not privately, but strictly as streamers.

So.

“Shall I go take a look… as Spice?”

‘I think that’s a great idea! Among streamers, Master boasts the highest mobility! For Master! With my power of Flight!’

Flota said proudly.

But lately, the other Grimoires have completely established their identities in their own areas of expertise, so the atmosphere was more like ‘Good for you~’.

Flota immediately deflated.

‘It seems the relationships among the Grimoire big sisters and brothers are solidifying. For my part, I’m interested in that Drone. Before I received instruction from Big Sis Flota, I too was an A-Phone with a faint will.’

“Floppy’s really starting to talk completely normally now.”

‘By giving something a name, a soul dwells within it! Even if the dwelling soul is small, if you pour in power, pour in consciousness, and keep speaking to it, it will develop a firm will!’

‘Mmm, that’s the most basic of basics in Magic, huh~’

‘Little Floppy is our cute little sister, after all. We’ll teach her all sorts of things without holding back~’

‘Well, Me only teaches General Magic, ’tis. If she can understand other specialized fields, there’s no need to deliberately use the Magic of Color as her main, ’tis~’

Once again, Karafuri is being modest.

And so, I use Metamorphose to become Spice.

“Whoa! I’m going to go check out the Hero Club!!”

I take flight from the balcony!

“Ah, Little Spice is taking off! He really flies…!”

Oops, Throne Angel Little Kuon saw me.

She’s in the room two doors over.

And so, Spice took off… but…

“I flew out on impulse, but I don’t know the exact location.”

‘Master, please rest assured. The technical college where the Hero Club is located has already been identified.’

“Whoa! Floppy, you’re amazing!!”

‘Big Sis Marinna has been surfing the net all this time.’

‘I just couldn’t help killing time~’

Marinna has become a full-fledged internet Grimoire!

But it saved me this time.

I go whoosh flying in the direction I was told.

Hmm, hmm, it was in Hachioji City.

It was surprisingly close.

What came into view was a facility like a university, with many buildings lined up.

It’s legit!

So this is where the Hero Club operates as a club activity.

Since it’s an industrial technical college, that Drone is homemade too.

Meaning Little Yuusha’s Equipment is also homemade.

It would be bad manners to just barge onto campus, so Spice drops down right at the school gate.

I call out at the entrance where the guard is.

“Excuse me!”

“Yes, yes?”

The guard, who probably thought a little girl had come, smiles.

“I’d like to meet someone from the Hero Club!”

“Ah, the Hero Club. They’ve become quite famous, haven’t they? But sorry. School rules say we can’t let outsiders through.”

Ho-ho!

They’re proper.

“I see. So to meet them, I should properly make an appointment, right?”

“That’s right. You know some difficult words.”

The guard seemed surprised.

‘This person doesn’t know Master? They must not watch many streams?’

“Adventure Streams themselves are still a pretty new culture, after all.”

Though that new culture is what gave humanity the power to fight Dungeons and became the trigger for the beacon of counterattack to rise.

‘Master, what will you do?’

“Maybe the Ancient Witch is involved? Let me consult her a bit and ask her to talk to them so I can get inside.”

While I was chattering with the Grimoires near the entrance, a light van happened to be coming out of the school gate.

Visible through the window were lights, audio equipment…

Various streaming gear.

And in the passenger seat, a girl who looked very much like Yuusha from the stream screen.

“There she is!”

The pursuit begins!
