Chapter 99 – Its Name is Slayer V

Тhе оther daу, during Кirаbоshi Нazuki’s avatаr сreatiоn stream, I hаd mаdе а соmment as Littlе Spicе.

“Whоa, thаt’s sо сооl!! You сan еven do сhаrасter design, Мs. Hаzuki?!”

It was still masked in vаriоus places, sо thе full appearаnсe wasn’t clear уеt.

But the аura оf а hаndsоme man was strong.

‘Тhat’s right. But, it’s still just bаrеlу abovе аmаteur levеl…’

Someоne who can сrеate аn аvatаr at this spеed is just barelу abоvе amateur level…!?

“Is thаt so! Асtuаlly, Sрice is аlsо а streamеr who асhiеvеd рhysiсаl inсarnаtiоn on his own, you know?”

But Spice is an adult.

I decided to play along with the conversation here…

‘Eh, really? That’s amazing, we’re the same!’

I see, so this person made their current avatar themselves too!!

Are they superhuman?

But it’s probably important to make a connection here.

“Um, would you like to collaborate sometime? Since we both achieved self-incarnation, how about attacking some dungeon together?”

‘Sure, absolutely! I’ll send you a friend request on Zakko later’

I wondered if we hadn’t already done the friend registration before? But it turned out this was an invitation to a private consultation room for one-on-one discussions.

This created a major connection.

I would get to see up close just how impressive the rumored top streamer really is.

While all this was happening, it seemed the debut date for former Director-General Daikyo had been decided.

The day after tomorrow.

“That’s fast. Way too fast no matter how you look at it. Can an avatar really be prepared at that speed…?”

According to the industry common sense I know, it should normally take one or two months…

Here, Flota begins her explanation!

‘Well, you see. In streams I’ve been watching recently, there are quite a few avatars made using Modern Magic. With avatars, an illustrator designs the appearance and a technician adds the movements, right? That Hero’s avatar—I think the illustrator and technician are the same person, materializing it while drawing, and using Modern Magic for assistance on top of that. No wonder it’s fast.’

“That’s the super famous streamer Kiraboshi Hazuki we’re talking about! While streaming almost every day and going to school, she’s doing that kind of work too!? She’s a monster.”

It seemed unbelievable, but in reality, the silhouette of former Director-General’s avatar form was displayed on the announcement Tsubuyaki.

On Tsubuyakix, it’s become a bit of a topic.

Incidentally, the former Director-General seems to have also ventured into Pinstagram and PickPock, where he’s apparently receiving significant advertising there too.

This side is probably getting help from his wife and daughter.

In other words, it’s an all-hands-on-deck publicity tactic by the Daikyo family, backed by the support of Kiraboshi Hazuki, one of the foremost streamers of our time.

This is insane.

And immediately, shitty replies mocking or criticizing former Director-General Daikyo appeared.

And then the shitty replies disappeared.

…Disappeared!?

‘Ah, ah, there are signs that a curse-returning magic was just used… To use such a terrifying thing on ordinary people…!! That Hero didn’t use such underhanded magic, right? Which means… that terrifying girl’s doing!?’

Now that I think about it, I have heard there are streamers who literally use anti-fans and adversaries as fuel for their activities.

No way, no way…

Indeed, compared to her overwhelming fame, it was strange how few critical voices there were.

While Flota and I were getting excited in front of the PC, I still had to do my own stream regardless.

For now, I did a stream playing an indie game I downloaded from the online game archive service, Electric.

The global internet infrastructure connecting the world has been improving lately, making it possible to play overseas games like this.

This too can be said to be thanks to that Kiraboshi Hazuki saving America and improving international relations and communication infrastructure.

She’s a streamer deeply rooted in our daily lives. She’s infrastructure.

“Helloo! Good evening! Tonight, I’m going to play a game where you throw an uncle who’s turned into a frisbee to gain distance! I’ll do dungeon-related stuff once things calm down a bit more!”

※『Good evening!』『Evening, Spi!』『You’ve dug up another weird game!』

Indie games are just the right length.

They’re easy to play and perfect for streaming.

If it’s just dungeons, the listeners would get bored, and it’s physically tough for me too.

Doing streams where we play games like this while chatting casually in between adds variety and is good.

When you throw the uncle, he flies while screaming ‘UGUWAAAH!!’

You can roughly tell the distance by how long the scream lasts…

While playing the uncle frisbee game like that…

‘Master! That Hero announced their streamer name!’

“What!?”

Spice’s hands faltered at the shocking information, and the frisbee uncle flew off into the distant sky.

A pathetic scream of ‘UGUWAWA~’ could be heard.

Immediately, I switched the stream to monitoring former Director-General Daikyo’s movements.

“Everyone! That streamer whose previous life was a super celebrity has finally announced their name!”

※Rump『That streamer everyone knows has finally…!』『This isn’t just name value before a debut stream』『The one who’s become a topic for going overboard even for a celebrity reincarnating as a streamer!』

Yes, that former Labyrinth Ministry Director-General!

The Labyrinth Ministry is already getting flamed as it is.

What will the former Director-General who left that place do?

The world was watching.

I tried playing the promotional video posted on Tsubuyakix.

What flowed from it was… a refreshing-sounding voice.

Huh…?

Mr. Daikyo was more of an uncle, wasn’t he…?

And the silhouette was slim and, how should I say, young.

‘The name is… Slayer V! Debut stream coming soon!!’

“Slayer V!! They came with a heroic name! And the silhouette looks rejuvenated… no no, they’re an anticipated rookie. I wonder what they’re like.”

※『That’s right, isn’t it』『Looking forward to it』

The Meat Brigade immediately understood.

The younger folks, rather, aren’t that familiar with the former Director-General, so they seem to be genuinely anticipating them as a super major rookie streamer.

In other words, we uncles and aunties must discard our preconceptions—previous life? Don’t know them—and go with that attitude.

And so, Slayer V’s first stream day arrived in no time…

Spice decided to watch this simultaneously with the listeners.

Two windows!

The name of his channel that officially launched is Slayer Channel.

This casualness…

It’s hard to believe this is the same Mr. Daikyo who seemed so simple and sturdy.

The buzzing comment section.

Well, as expected, the younger folks have many voices of anticipation.

We uncles and aunties have preconceptions… et cetera.

‘Everyone, thank you for coming to watch. Various things happened, but I’ve been able to start streaming like this. First, I’d like to thank Ikaruga Entertainment for their full cooperation, and Kiraboshi Hazuki who designed and created this avatar for me.’

Along with the greeting, a refreshing young man appeared on screen.

Thi, thi, this cool young guy is Mr. Daikyo!?

He’s wearing what you might call explorer’s clothing, and from the moss green shirt at his chest, a glimpse of well-trained pectoral muscles can be seen.

His tanned skin and the pure white teeth visible in his smile are dazzling.

“Whoa, h, h, he’s rejuvenated! Specifically, he’s rejuvenated by about twenty years!! Ah, but the skeletal structure is similar, so if he were young and slim, this is what he’d look like…”

※Prime Sirloin『Little Spice is looking at Mr. Slayer with the eyes of a maiden in love』

“No, that’s wrong! It’s because we’re both uncles, okay? Both uncles! Anyway, let’s watch the Director-General… no, Mr. Slayer’s stream!”

‘Yes, skull splitter’

‘UGUWAAH!? Impossible…!! For me, a Demon General, to be defeated so easily…!! You, just who are you…!?’

Right from the start, he’s scattering an advanced-level demon claiming to be a Demon General!?

Isn’t his movement clearly sharper than when he was in his original body?

‘Starting today, I’m the adventure streamer who’s officially launched, Slayer V! Everyone, please hit the Like button and subscribe to the channel!’

Slayer V strikes a cool pose with a ‘Kyupiin!’ and winks.

Daikyo Tsuguya’s accumulated experience, the aging effect from Kiraboshi Hazuki’s avatar technology, the power of the prime physical body gained from that, and even concurrent viewers on top of that.

An unbelievable monster might have been unleashed upon the world.

“Everyone! After Slayer V’s stream, let’s gather on Four Guys and play games! We’re doing Super Okuno Party!”
