Chapter 79 - Chapter 71: Things Come Flying In
The time was 7:40 PM. The live stream was scheduled to start at 8:30 PM, so there should be plenty of time to prepare.
[Miki] went straight to [IRO]. Bell-san wasn't appearing on the stream today either; she said she was preparing for tomorrow’s live stream.
“Evening.”
“Shou-kun.”
“Good evening~.”
I thought I’d be the first one here today, but [Mion] and [Yata-sensei] were already present.
“I saw what you were doing at noon today~, it seems you managed to make salt~.”
“Ah, yes. It seems the [Material Processing Skill] was related after all.”
By the way, when I appraised the salt, it just said [Salt]. I guess it’s the same as in real life.
“And was the seaweed you gathered nori?”
“Yeah, probably? Anyway, after sun-drying it, it looked like the sheet nori you usually see, so I thought I’d try eating it on today’s live stream.”
“That’s great!”
It seemed both of them had already checked what I was doing at noon, so there was no need for a detailed explanation.
“Are the preparations for the live stream already finished?”
“Yes. And I wanted to try something.”
Apparently, there was a way to display the text comments flowing into [Mion]’s broadcast on my stream as well.
“If Shou-kun is playing in a relaxed manner~, it would be better if you could see the comments~.”
“That’s true, but I leave it to [Mion] to pick which comments to highlight.”
I usually check the general atmosphere, but if I start reading individual comments, I feel like I’d get distracted and wouldn’t be able to focus on the game.
Bell-san is incredible at managing that, or rather, she can fight, read and respond to comments, and even get laughs—she’s just ridiculously… amazing.
“Yes, please leave it to me.”
“So, should I go to [IRO]?”
“Yes~, please stream live as usual, Mion-san~.”
According to [Yata-sensei], I needed to tweak the stream settings in the menu a bit.
So, I immediately went into [IRO]. Was I just going straight into the live stream?
“Shou-kun, have a good one.”
“Oh, yeah, I’m off.”
Yata-sensei, please stop smirking…
*
“Roger that.”
Allowing this connection supposedly allowed various data to be exchanged with outside the game, and using that, comments received in [Mion]’s studio could be streamed to me as well.
“Is it alright?”
“Yeah, is this right?”
[Yata] “How is it~?”
“Ah, I see it. Looks good.”
This would be distracting if it was always showing.
“It seems you can close it to either the left or right side of your vision?”
“I see. Like this?”
I lightly shifted the comment window to the right with my right hand.
About here? No, a bit more to the right, and when I want to see it, I’ll just turn my head that way…
“Woof?”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
[Lupi] couldn't see the menu or anything, so she must be wondering.
Hmm? But she seemed to hear [Mion]’s voice… Oh well.
[Yata] “Looks good~.”
“Is it fine to just wait for the live stream to start like this?”
“Yes. About 20 more minutes.”
“Okay.”
I guess I’ll tidy up the cave’s main hall a bit in the meantime…
…
…
…
“Roger that. How many people are waiting right now?”
“About 3,000.”
“Seriously…?”
The content for today is relaxed, and I’m planning some food porn, but will it be okay?
No, well, it’s probably fine if people don’t mistake it for a serious strategy guide.
<10 seconds… 5, 4, …>
“Hello everyone, I’m [Mion], the Game Mystery Hunter. Nice to meet you!”
[Bluesha] “♪─Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ─♪”
[Shakeena] “Mion-chaan!”
[Galeso] “It’s started!”
etc.etc...
Whoa, comments were flowing at an incredible speed… Can anyone even read these? I wondered, then,
[Shakeena] “
[Nonnonno] “
[Bluesha] “Nice!”
etc.etc...
Whoa…
“Th-thank you for the donations! But please don’t overdo it, okay?”
[Shakeena] “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
[Galeso] “
[Daytron] “
[Nonnonno] “Daytron-kami is here!”
[Shidenkai] “Calm down, everyone.”
etc.etc...
Eeehhhhh…
This is kinda scary now…
*“Uh, um, thank you for all the donations. Thanks to all of you, I’ve been able to monetize the channel.
This channel is where I stream Shou-kun’s relaxed uninhabited island gameplay, so I hope you’ll enjoy it at a leisurely pace.”*
[Bluesha] “Good, good.”
[Shakeena] “Don’t overdo it.”
[Daytron] “Relaxed, understood.”
[Minsel] “Shou-kun, please, soon.”
etc.etc...
Good. She seems to have calmed down a bit?
“Alright. Then, I’ll connect to Shou-kun on the uninhabited island.”
Yes, sir. I’m so surprised, I’ve actually calmed down.
I sat on the bed, put [Lupi] in my lap, and got ready.
“Shou-kun, Lupi-chan, hello.”
“Welcome, [Mion].”
“Woof~.”
Comments started flowing at an incredible speed again, but I couldn’t really read them anymore, so I decided to ignore them.
“First, could you please explain your current location to everyone watching the live stream?”
“Okay. Um, I wiped out the goblins in the last live stream, but can I just say it’s the cave they were in?”
“Yes, that works. Could you show us inside briefly?”
“Yeah, it’s embarrassing because it’s messy, but okay.”
The bed, the [Safe Zone], the pile of junk that I thought I had tidied up, the faintly glowing [Luminous Moss] illuminating the floor, and then,
“And illuminating this room is that light spirit.”
Floating above where I looked up was a faintly glowing orb.
[Mawaranain] “Fuh!?”
[Yochihiko] “Huh???”
[Subrock] “A light spirit!?”
[Nantsuu] “How did you do that!?”
etc.etc...
“Shou-kun, could you tell us about the light spirit?”
“Yeah. Well, it was accidental for me too, so it’s not a definite method.”
“Understood.”
I explained how the [Magic Stone (Tiny)] obtained from dismantling goblins turned into a [Magic Crystal Stone] when left in the cave.
And how it eventually became a [Spirit Stone (Tiny): Light] when placed next to [Luminous Moss].
[Nantsuu] “Seriously!? That’s super helpful!”
[Karin] “Other spirits might be the same!?”
[Rogappo] “(((o(゜▽゜)o)))♡”
[Daytron] “
[Mattoru] “Oh no, I sold all my magic stones… orz”
etc.etc...
Well, I guess [Seth]’s guild is probably making light spirit stones by now…
