Chapter 236 – The Audition Venue is a Giant Dungeon!

Тwо thоusаnd sеlected frоm fiftу thousand аppliсаnts!

Nо, I’m still аmаzеd that two thоusand streаmеrs gathеrеd.

I’m аlsо surрrised thеre wеre fifty thоusаnd strеаmers worldwidе.

So, thе rigorous doсumеnt screening aррarently seleсtеd them based on the strеаmers’ baсkgrounds, subsсribеr соunts, and future potеntial.

Did theу usе sоme kind of suреrсomputеr for the sеlection prосess?

Anуwаy, Sрice wаs successfullу selесted, but—

For some reаson, Yаtаgаrasu is аmong the сhоsеn.

“Yoohоo, niсе tо mееt yоu, Littlе Sрicе!”

“I’m surрrised that one of the top male streamers in the country is here at the audition like it’s nothing.”

“Well, you know, I basically love anything that looks fun.”

This is a certain huge stadium where the winners have gathered.

The dome-shaped stadium has been transformed into an artificial Dungeon by Onmyoji gathered from all over Japan.

The condition to clear the first round is to Breakthrough this place quickly.

Only ten will pass!

And then in the final round, that gets whittled down to five.

What kind of odds are those?!

“Woo! I’m here too! I’ll liven things up!”

“Chara-chaaan! Yeah! With the three of us together… that means Mr. Slayer is…”

“That guy’s in the judges’ seats!”

“Ah, right, he’s the former Labyrinth Ministry Director-General.”

So he wasn’t free to join!

Japanese streamers are watching Spice and the others chatting amiably with what seems like admiring eyes.

They don’t really seem to be looking at them as rivals.

Having low competitive spirit isn’t good, you know.

By the way, Mr. Sudou, Guard Mask, and Little Ira aren’t here.

The Shake Strikers excel as a five-person team, so this individual selection audition isn’t suitable for them.

“Hello, Japan’s Four Guys. I’m White Knight from England. Pleased to meet you.”

Whoa!

A handsome, slender blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy has appeared from the side!

He’s a Major Streamer who came all the way from England for the Hero Party audition!

Next to him is a cheeky-looking girl with a slender build.

Somewhere between a woman and a girl…?

She has black hair in a bob cut with blue inner color.

Wearing pants, she has something like a card deck attached to her waist.

Spice knows her too!

“Ms. Sherry!”

“Oh, you know me? I heard Hazuki was doing something interesting this time, so I rushed over! I’ll show you my true power…!! A Hero Party? Sounds fun!”

Wow, she’s fired up~!

“Spice won’t lose either!”

‘Hmm, Master, this woman is a Witch.’

‘Yeah, from the White Witch faction. She’s talented.’

‘There are Witches actively working out in the open over there, huh?’

‘Like Master without a Grimoire?’

‘English Magic has undergone its own unique evolution, you see.’

Sherry seemed to have heard the Grimoires’ voices, her eyes widening as she reacted to them.

“You… you have five Originals with you!? How are you still sane…?”

“Fufufu~, that’s thanks to Risk Management from my experience as a working adult.”

Plus, Floppy acts as a buffer!

Anyway, this opponent, Sherry, is England’s top female streamer.

White Knight is also top rank among male streamers in England.

And furthermore, from Sudan in Africa, Talisa, Africa’s top streamer.

She specializes in a Three-Dimensional Maneuver Military Tactics style using LARF, similar to how Spice used to fight.

Like Sherry, she fights in her physical body without Virtualizing.

Apparently, she also makes full use of African Cursed Arts.

“Nice to meet you. Well, I think Talisa is the strongest!”

“Whoa, confident~!”

There are a lot of kids with high pride and high Bratty Girl power!

‘She’s also an African Witch! There are so many Witches, I’m getting happy!’

“Really!? So many survived here and there!”

Maybe the world has become a place where being a Witch can be done openly!

Besides her, there’s a Centaur man and a boy with a nomadic look riding on him.

Are they considered one unit?

Ah, I see, a pair can be treated as one unit.

They also look pretty strong.

Finally, there was Little Yuusha, looking extremely nervous.

Next to her, a Drone enveloped in even bushier fur than the last time I saw it.

“What do you think based on looks, Flota?”

‘She’s Power-uped. I’ll leave the detailed analysis to Karafuri, though.’

‘Me, you mean? That is— Fuhyo~! It’s become quite powerful! Of course, the streamer Yuusha has grown, but it’s a style that multiplies that power by cooperating with the Drone. Their Magic Power wavelengths match perfectly.’

By the way, the Drone, having noticed it was being subjected to Mana Perception, suddenly turned this way and waved.

It has grown hands.

The Grimoires also Spawned out and waved excitedly in greeting.

Then, semi-transparent somethings appeared from behind Sherry and Talisa too, joining in the excited commotion.

What’s going on?!

‘It’s unintentionally becoming like a World Witch Conference! Your two ancestors are enjoying themselves too!’

I see, I see!

This looks like it’s going to be a lively event!
