Episode 26: [Live Stream] Ōta Dungeon On-Site Investigation
(Note: Special for this chapter, dialogues from the livestream are written in this bracket:『…..』. And chats from the livestream are written in this bracket:《……》)
『This is Jōnuma from the Gunma Prefecture Explorer Association. From now, I will be conducting an on-site investigation of the Ōta Dungeon, where an irregular incident occurred on March 10.』
“Oh, it started.”
I was watching a livestream video of the Ōta Dungeon investigation on my computer at home.
On screen was Jōnuma-san, who had been an examiner. He was talking in front of the stairs at the first floor entrance of the dungeon.
“It makes me happy to see a place I know on screen…”
The night before last, I received a LINK message from Otama-chan.
Tamaki: The day after tomorrow at 9, the Explorer Associations of two prefectures will do a full investigation of the Ōta Dungeon.
Tamaki: For the past few days, the Gunma Explorer Association has been investigating the lower levels. And it looks like the Goblins’ aggression is calming down.
Tamaki: If we confirm the dungeon is stable in this investigation, we’ll be allowed back into the Ōta Dungeon.
Tamaki: When that happens, let’s go together. We’ll start from the lower levels to observe.
Tamaki: I, your senior, will escort you.
(Sticker of a bear in a suit, striking a serious pose)
Since it was a good opportunity, I decided to watch the livestream video too.
Partly as preparation for the dungeon I’m about to challenge, and also because I wanted to see Otama-chan and Yamada-san in action.
Yesterday evening, I received my general explorer license (yellow band, C-rank) via registered mail. So dungeon investigation videos no longer felt like someone else’s business.
『I’m Tatara from the Gunma Prefecture Explorer Association. I’ll be in charge of support magic. Nice to meet you all today.』
《Tatara-san!》
《Thanks for always buying the magic stones!》
《Your quick processing really helps.》
《Please look down on us again and say ‘What tiny little magic stones’.》
This livestream also served as a dungeon status briefing. So anyone could watch.
There were around 300 viewers now. And judging by the comments, most seemed to be nearby explorers.
『I’m Yamada from the Tochigi Prefecture Explorer Association. Today, we’re conducting a joint investigation with the Gunma Prefecture Explorer Association. Thank you to all explorers for cooperating with the dungeon entry restrictions. I’d like to take this moment to express our gratitude.』
《Yamada-saaan! It’s meee! Marry meee!》
《It’s been a while. Thanks for your hard work.》
《Be careful out there.》
《Yamada-saaan! It’s meee! Marry meee!》
《Yamada-saaan! It’s meee! Marry meee!》
《Reminder: she’s married.》
『I’m Omoigawa from the Tochigi Prefecture Explorer Association. I look forward to working with you today.』
《Tama-chan! Don’t worry about it!》
《It’s okay!》
《Good things will come your way eventually!》
《Be super careful today!》
《【¥1,000】Please give a healing potion to Tama-chan.》
『W-Why?! I haven’t even done anything yet!』
『Thank you for the super chat. Omoigawa-san, please do your best so as not to worry everyone.』
『Uuu~, understood…』
『…So, these four will be exploring. We plan to defeat the 10th floor boss today, so please understand.』
《If Jōnuma-san is there, it should be fine.》
《A gorilla who can heal.》
《Could probably solo it too.》
With that, the four of them headed deeper into the dungeon.
A drone must’ve been filming; all four were shown from behind.
Jōnuma-san led the group, and Otama-chan was second from the front.
“Otama-chan looks so cool.”
Otama-chan carried a sword.
It had proper decorations and looked quite expensive.
Yamada-san had a large staff, Jōnuma-san had a hammer, and Tatara-san carried a compact staff.
A textbook example of an explorer party.
『Jōnuma-san, enemy detected at 2 o’clock in the next room. Probably Goblins.』
『Got it. Omoigawa-chan, can you take care of it?』
『Leave it to me!』
《How did she know where the enemy was without seeing it?》
《Yamada-san has the [Presence Detection] skill.》
《I want one at home.》
《Go Tama-chan!》
《There really was a Goblin.》
《It’s charging!》
《Is it a little excited?》
『—Secret Sword: Spring Rain Blade!!』
*Slash!*
《Ooh!》
《Clean cut!》
《Overkill.》
《So strong.》
《Could probably cut a Golem.》
『Nice one, Omoigawa-chan.』
『Hehe, it’s a combo of [Water User] and [Swordsmanship]. Like that legendary sword Yamada-san told me about, right?』
《Legendary sword?》
《Yamada-san’s shaking her head.》
《Something seems off.》
《Spring rain?》
《Probably a mistake for Murasame. It’s a sword that releases water, said to originate from Ashikaga in Hakkenden. It’s closely tied to southern Tochigi. But technically, it’s from fiction, so not truly a legend.》
《Thanks, lore nerd!》
《Tama-chan! Don’t worry!》
—Thus, the four of them continued deeper into the Ōta Dungeon.
『Uooooooo!!』
*BOOM!*
《He hit that fast-moving Lizardman with a hammer!》
《As expected of Jōnuma-san.》
『Omoigawa-san, watch your step right there.』
『My step? Right here?』
*Click!*
*Whoosh, clang!*
『…It was an arrow trap. If you hadn’t crouched, it would’ve hit you.』
《How did she know that?》
《Yamada-san has the [Spatial Awareness] skill. Can spot even small protrusions.》
《I want one at home.》
《I wanted to marry her.》
《Tama-chan! Stay focused!》
『—Paralyze!』
*ZAP!*
*Slash!*
『Thanks for the support, Kaede-chan.』
『Tamaki-san, don’t take the credit! That was for Jōnuma-san…』
『We’re working together, so be nice!』
《Tatara-san’s quick and nimble.》
《Can apply buffs, debuffs, and status effects.》
《I want an episode of just her and Tama-chan exploring together.》
With that, they reached the 9th floor, just before the boss room.
It was just before 11 a.m.
Since they’d been thoroughly checking each floor, it had taken quite a bit of time.
『Alright, now we’re going to the 10th floor boss room. The boss is a Giant Serpent—basically, a huge snake.』
《We know.》
《We know.》
『After defeating the boss, we’ll use the return gate that appears to exit. That will conclude today’s investigation. I don’t think there were any particular anomalies… Yamada-san, your thoughts?』
『Yes, I agree. I saw nothing unusual in the dungeon. Perhaps during the Explorer Exam, there was a temporary stagnation of magical energy.』
《Knew it.》
《Knew it.》
《I sensed the stagnation.》
《No you didn’t lol》
『If the boss is as usual, we can conclude that Ōta Dungeon is stable. Let’s go.』
『Understood.』
『Understood!』
The four descended the stairs into a large chamber. In the center was a black snake, 10 to 20 meters long.
『KISHAAAAAAAA!!』
《Opening move is poison mist!?》
《Never seen this pattern before.》
《How do you dodge that!?》
『Breath Counter!!』
《Yamada-san!?》
《She deflected the poison mist!》
《What was that!?》
《Yamada can use wind magic. So she blew away the breath.》
《Too useful.》
『Offense Up!!』
『Nuooooh! Full Power Stamp!!』
*CRAAASH!!*
《The head!!》
《Direct hit.》
《It’s wobbling.》
『Secret Sword: Musasame Blade!』
《That’s… not it lol》
《She cut pretty deep.》
《Crushed one of the heat-sensing pits.》
《Nice one, Tama-chan!》
『Omoigawa-san, that was an excellent strike. Keep it up.』
『Yes! Leave it to me!』
《She got praised!》
《That’s rare!》
《It really was good.》
《Nice one.》
—And so…
The four safely defeated the boss.
The black snake slowly dissolved into purple mist and vanished.
『We did it!』
《Nice job!》
《Congrats!》
《Was that final hit also Murasame?》
《This was Tama-chan’s episode.》
《Great work, everyone. It was helpful.》
『Alright… Anyone who’s cleared a dungeon will know this. But when you beat the final floor’s boss, a teleport gate to the entrance appears. Once we confirm that, the Ōta Dungeon’s entry ban will be lifted.』
《Been waiting for this!》
《That helps a lot.》
《The Sankenzakai Dungeon is too hard, so I couldn’t go. Ōta’s just right.》
《That place is chaos. Tochigi and Gunma Goblins are at war. Saitama’s just watching.》
《What’s the drop item this time?》
《Hope it’s some gear.》
《The return gate’s taking a while to show up though…》
『Oh, a magic stone came out of the snake. I’ll go grab it.』
『Thank you, Omoigawa-san. Please take ca—ah! Omoigawa-san, stop!!』
『Eh…? Kyaa!!』
《A trapdoor!?》
《It was a pitfall!》
《Happens to me too lol. I try to think positively—it saves me walking down the stairs.》
《More like a teleport hoop than a pit.》
《Tama-chan, don’t worry lol》
《The hole disappears after activating, so they’ll have to chase via the stairs.》
《Go save her already!》
《Wait… Is there another floor below?》
《There were no stairs in the boss room.》
《Huh?》
《Ōta Dungeon only has 10 floors.》
《Where did Tama-chan fall to???》
