Chapter 68 – Actually, the Spice's True Identity!

Whilе сlеaring the third floоr, I сonfirmed thаt Shiroko wаs gеtting usеd tо thе LАRF-based stуle.

Yeаh, уeаh. Веing уоung, she рicks things uр quickly.

Рlus, shе’s suitеd fоr shooting whilе moving аround.

The trасk and field events Маshiro did from high school tо сollege were thе рentathlоn.

Well, it’s а sроrt thаt involves doing variоus things.

Even if it wаs just аt а hobbyist lеvеl, whеther yоu’ve donе it or not makes а diffеrencе in уour bоdy’s sharрness.

“We’re mоving right alоng!”

Мashiro runs around pаtaраtа, shoоting while leарing оver obstаclеs.

Неr аim isn’t grеat, but with this rарid-firе LARF, shе hits fаirly often.

“Uguwaaah!” “Gobuguwaaah!”

Moreover, the monsters in this Dungeon move in groups, so they make easy targets.

The Witch of the Mind is probably controlling them and running various experiments…

But that backfired on her!

And also, another plan is currently in progress…

Spice secretly spills the beans to the Listeners.

“Actually, you see—Shiroko is Spice’s real-life junior, but she hasn’t realized it! So I’m gonna gradually drop hints and shake her up, so keep watching!”

※ “Wh-What the—!!” “This is getting interesting lol” “So this Dungeon Stream was an elaborate prank all along?!”

That’s right!

While fighting the surrounding monsters back-to-back,

“The other day when we were drinking, there were other people so you didn’t drink much, right? It’s fine if Spice is here! If it comes to it, I’ll let you stay at my place!”

“Eh? Eh? Th-that time!?”

Of course, the detailed content of Spice’s conversation is bleeped out by the Floppy!

Only Shiroko can hear it, but the Peppers have been told what kind of conversation it is.

I want everyone to imagine it!

Note: Spice only does this in situations where he can back Shiroko up.

Dungeon Streaming isn’t a game!

But! If a Streamer forgets to have fun during a Dungeon Stream, the Stream becomes boring, Concurrent Viewers drop, and the Clearing Difficulty skyrockets.

Things don’t always go as planned, yeah, yeah.

“That time Shiroko drank two cups and fell asleep—”

“Ah-hee!? How do you know about that!?”

She’s flustered, she’s flustered!

The Listeners on Shiroko’s Channel seem to be catching on a little.

Or maybe they’re watching Spice’s stream on a second window?

And so, the Boss Battle!

The monsters seemingly controlled by the Witch of the Mind begin to fuse into one… becoming a huge monster.

A Chimera!

Here, Shiroko finally seemed to realize.

“No way… Little Spice, you’re not… you can’t be…!”

“That’s right! The one who helped Shiroko in her first pinch and fought with her was Spice! Someone Shiroko knows very well!”

“Hieeeee, my head’s gonna explode! Was I watching my senior’s streams this whole time!?”

※ “LOLOLOLOLOLOL” “She noticed lol!” “Such a historic moment lol” “So funny lol” “I’m gonna rewatch the Archive a hundred times” “Spit out my coffee”

Now, let’s pull ourselves together and take on the Chimera!

Mashiro, now completely accustomed to using the LARF.

Even if she’s rattled, her body remembers how to move!

“Shiroko, run around in a circle! An obstacle course! Spice will fly! Levitation!”

Floating up lightly, he uses Spiral to twist and deflect the Chimera’s massive foreleg swinging at him.

Can’t hold back against a Boss, after all.

Gonna use plenty of Magic too!

Closing the distance in an instant with Accel, shoot shoot shoot!

“Gugogogogogooooh!!” “Gyashashaaah!”

Whoa!

The Chimera’s dragon head is swirling flames inside its mouth.

Fire Breath is coming!

“Shiroko!”

“Yes! Shoot shoot shoot at the snake head’s tail!!”

“Shururuuuh!!”

Attacked from the rear, the Chimera staggers.

Seizing this opening, Spice pulls out the iron pipe he had stashed in his skirt!

The kind used for plumbing.

“Come on out, Torch!”

Bwoom! A sword of flame appears.

A bit delayed, the Dragon Breath arrives.

But while blocking it with Torch, I’ll scatter any leaks with Spiral!

“Gonna apologize to the sponsor first! Sorry!! Using the Sponge Bullet as the core… Fireball!!”

The inside of the LARF glows brightly.

Shoot this right into the dragon head!

The burning Sponge Bullet flies and detonates inside the dragon head.

One of the Chimera’s heads blows off.

Then, circling to its side, shoot shoot shoot Fireball LARFs at the goat head and lion head!

This is the last resort for a LARF user!

Because the Sponge Bullets used burn up completely.

Can’t recover them, so the ammo count just goes down.

But, just as I fired the last shot, the lion head riddled with holes rolled its eyes back white.

The Chimera’s massive body begins to crumble.

Then, Mashiro, who took down the snake head, comes into view.

She’s doing a victory pose.

But she seems to have taken a bit of damage here and there?

Gotta teach her movement too…!

“We did it! We did it! Even I could do it!!”

Shiroko’s Comment Section is overflowing with cheers of “Congrats!” and “We did it!”

A Rookie Streamer has accomplished something.

Ahh, feels good.

“…And so,”

Spice turns around!

Addressing the Comment Section,

“I’ll edit the outcome of this stream to make it easy to understand and upload it to the Archive. Look forward to it!”

※ “Roger!” “So the setup spanned two streams… lol” “A real-life junior being a Streamer, that happens too, huh” “Wait, that means… Little Shiroko is a little girl…!?”

I won’t leak any real-life details!

Imagine the relationship to your heart’s content!

“Well then, that’s it for the stream! The Dungeon is returning to normal. Peace is restored! A good thing! See you all next time! Otsu Spice~!”

※ “Otsu Spice!” “Otsu Spa!” “Otsutsu!”

The stream ends, and the location has returned to the top floor of a mixed-use building.

Man, it’s cramped.

Such a narrow space becomes vast when it Dungeonizes.

“Shiroko… no, Mashiro, good work.”

“Uuh, the voice is Little Spice’s but the way of talking clearly became someone I know! Is it really true!? Is Little Spice really my senior!?”

“That’s right. So, wanna go for a celebration after this!”

“Hieee, my emotions are all tangled up!!”
