Chapter 561 - On a Certain Archiver's Stream: The Story Continues

"—Haru-chan, you say...!?"

"Hey, some weirdos just popped up outta nowhere! Who are they?!"

"'The ultimate fetish-destroying weapon that made the stars fall'...!?"

"You guys know something!!!"

"The Acrobat became Acrobat-chan!?"

"Shut up, it's our leader's time to shine! Watch the video!"

"Oh, and I'm a Harunia shipper."

"Burn this into your retinas."

"Harunia is precious."

"Worship it. And fall into the swamp."

"AiHaru is good, but Harunia is good too."

"What is with these people...!!"

"Are you just going to drop cryptic comments and then leave?!!!"

"Seriously, what's with them!!!!"

"Three suspicious members of the Harunia faction!?"

—'A single falling star connects all, clad in green, it sways with the hurricane.'

"No, seriously, this is no time for that! I don't get it, what's happening!? That trance system, her gender changed, which means it's the second status sheet—she's stopped to chant, so it's a mage build!?"

"The Acrobat became a Mage-chan!?"

"Still, an incantation that takes fifty seconds? What is it!?"

"It's not like it's starlight magic..."

—'A momentary tune plays and revolves, the steps hasten and become a flash.'

"—Hk, no...!"

"Wait, could it be?"

"Someone who can chant while doing acrobatics with a weapon is stopping in place...!"

"A super long incantation that prevents movement."

"Wait, really?"

"How many months has this person been playing Arcadia...?"

"Three months and a bit... Seriously?"

—'Draped in white, bursting with blue, the one who first sees the chaotic red clouds take form is the thunderclap.'

"A very slow, deliberate way of singing... this is...!"

"No, wait, her voice...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhh, my ears are meltingggggggg."

—'The time of encounter has come, with the sin of treading into a divine domain, I declare to the moonlit heavens.'

"Yeah, that's all insane too, but Iris-samaaa!!!"

"What's with that barrage of massive destruction beams? That's not fair!!?"

"Whoa whoa whoa stop stop stop it hurts it hurts it hurts."

—'I am the one who steals the sky.'

"—...C'mon, seriously... hang in there... Hang in there...!"

"Hey, Crown, hurry, hurry, hurry!!!!!"

"You can't hurry starlight magic!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, this is brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal."

—'This body is the end, and the signaling arrow of the beginning.'

"I don't have the luxury of listening to this super cool-sounding incantation!!!"

"Clearbellfa getting chipped away so one-sidedly... what kind of monster is this!?"

"Is it on the level of a Colored Monster!?"

—'Dispel the veil.'

"How many seconds have passed!?"

"I don't know!!!!"

"Maybe a little over ten seconds left!!?"

"Uwaaaaaaaaaah, HP is below half, ahhhhhhh."

"It's going to be okay, right??? They both clear it, right????????"

—'Transcend the canopy.'

"—Ugh, ah...! Hang in there...!!"

"I'm..."

"It broke, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Ahhhhhhh, no, no, no."

"You're seriously going to break Clearbellfa????????????"

"A true monster."

—'A destiny yet unseen lies in the distant future, and that is why...'...!

"HP in the red."

"Ah, it's over..."

"—You can do it!!! Hang in there!!!"

—'The swift heavenly storm resides here, in the soul that yearns for the beyond!'!!

"—...Huh?"

"...?"

"Wait, did the video freeze?"

"A still image."

"Is my device working properly...?"

"Oh."

"Huh?"

"What are these numbers?"

"Is it an edit?"

"Seven seconds...?"

"A countdown for what?"

"The numbers aren't moving, so can we assume it's a deliberate edit?"

"Ah."

"No, it's moving."

"The decimals are moving slooooowly..."

"Wh-what... what is this, how—"

—Hey there, monster fox. Playtime's over.

"Wha...!?"

"What!?"

"It started...!?"

"But the countdown is still at a super slow pace!"

"No, what happened? I can't see, I can't see...!"

"A huge flash of light, a loud bang, and the replica got sent flying...!?"

"Wait, what, crackling?"

"Lightning...?"

"Isn't her hair doing something crazy?"

"A lightning side-tail???"

"Wait, wait, wait... so it's... it's that kind of thing?"

"It moved again!"

"Wait, her eyes!!!"

"Gold and silver heterochromia!!?"

"Hold on, is that a thought acceleration skill!?"

"The rumors about her getting it were true!!!"

"First starlight magic and now this, her acquisition speed is insane!?"

—'Awaken'

"—...Haha, what is that?"

"Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh."

"Alright... what is it this time..."

"The pendant turned into a sword...?"

"The visuals... are too strong..."

"Like her partner-chan's magic sword???"

"There are petals falling from the blade."

"Cherry blossoms...?"

"Wow, it's beautiful."

"Hey, not even a second has passed on the countdown."

"So why is she moving normally???"

"—Ah, this is the best. I'll follow her for life."

"Wha..."

"Wha-..........."

"The magic circles all disappeared in an instant..."

"This is completely beyond my understanding."

"This is with a slow-mo edit of who knows how many times, right...?"

"And even then, the speed is so fast all we can tell is that something flashed, huh?"

"A still-image Princess."

"Ah, I get it now..."

"Even when she's still, our Princess is beautiful."

"She's all beaten up..."

"It hurts my heart."

"But she's still the most beautiful in the world."

"The Acrobat... I mean, Haru-chan is talking pretty normally, isn't she?"

"Does this mean 'everything' has sped up, and even her speaking speed is insane...?"

—Thanks. Take a rest.

"...Ah."

"s"

"w"

"snt"

"No."

"Is this it?"

"Smi"

"That... that smile is...!!!!!"

"My kink."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is the fetish-destroying weapon..."

"How about it, gentlemen?"

"Fall into the swamp."

—Game set. Brace yourself.

"This is our leader."

"—...Hk, it went!!!"

"No, that's too fast!!!!!!!!!!"

"I literally can't see it!!!!!"

"Seriously, wait, with this level of slow-mo!?!!?"

"The replica is almost standing still!!!"

"This is bad, this is bad...! Just touching it is causing lightning to strike!!!"

"Is it a touch-of-death kind of thing...!?"

"A grand body-enhancement magic with a super long incantation!!?"

"What's a grand body-enhancement magic!!!"

"The sword!!!!!!!!!!"

"Head split in twooooooo!!!"

—...I see. It's just a paper tiger.

"What do you mean, 'I see'!?"

"She moves fast, and she understands too fast."

"No, the playback speed is still insane!?"

"Wait, what, it had no effect!?"

"Wha-huh!?!?!?!"

"Martial arts!!!!!"

"So daaaaaaaaaamn strong."

"Yeah, that's it, every time she touches it, a super dangerous attack judgment is going off...!!"

"When she grabbed its nose, there was a ZAP sound too...!"

"A magic where every single movement becomes grand magic???"

"More like 'I am grand magic'... ?"

"As expected of starlight magic... what now!!?"

"Chaos Bloom."

"The visuals are too much!!!!"

"Cherry blossom petals...!!!"

"Haru and cherry blossoms..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, my fetish is... ahhhhhhhhhh."

"Oh, something else dangerous is coming."

"This is probably...!"

—Let's go, bastard.

"With those visuals and the Acrobat's classic lines, this is just—"

"A lightning strike."

"This is the strongest thing ever."

"It's completely like a boss enemy, not a player."

"Even a replica isn't this lawless."

"A replica...?"

"The Great Spirit of Lightning."

"Whoa, that's brutal...!!!"

"The surrounding petals have an attack judgment too."

"!!!?"

"Oof."

"It reacted!?"

"What kind of drawing speed is that, ma-giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic."

"Did she cut it...? No."

—That magic is a snack for this Sakura Sword.

"It... ate it...?"

"Did the petals increase???"

"Not destruction, but a magic-absorbing sword?????"

"The same as the Princess's purple lightning...!?"

"Wha... it's a storm of wind, lightning, and cherry blossoms..."

"She dragged it out...!!!"

"That neck grab is brutal."

"And then ZAP-SPLAT."

"She looks like a super beautiful girl, but her actions are merciless...!!!!!"

"Kink... kink...!"

"The replica's body just can't keep up at this point, can it?"

"It's not just a reaction, it's like they're in a different speed dimension...?"

"It managed to fire off some magic, but it all got eaten..."

"But it hasn't been broken since the full beast transformation... did its durability get a huge boost in the final form? Even if she overwhelms it with speed, her firepower—ah, here it comes."

"More martial arts!!!"

"Tekkai."

"Rin!?"

"That technique name sounds familiar!?"

"What was that? If my avatar took that, its HP would probably be gone seventy times over."

"Rinne Special, lololol."

"A Genkotsu-san to Rinne-chan combo!!?"

"Are they friends!?"

"Broke one!"

"Two left!!!"

"Hey, she just took a counter-attack, right!!!?!!!"

"Why is she uninjured!!!"

"Wait, is this a true invincibility mode?"

"No, that can't be."

"She intercepted the magic... physical immunity? No, did she just cut it to feed her sword? I don't get it, I can't even theorize without an official explanation—"

—'Heavenly Storm Release'

"Tenran Kaihou!!"

"What!!!!!!!!!!"

"Rumble, crackle, zap."

"A gale on par with Tempest is..."

—'Phantom Cherry Blossom Fragment'

"Gen'ou Hitohira!!!"

"What, what, what!!!!!!"

"It absorbed all the petals!!!"

"It's glowing sooooooo brightly!!!!"

"Whoa, so bright."

"Is it coming, is it going, the ultimate move, ahhhh!!!!"

"An unorthodox two-handed grip!! The Second Strike—no, that's not it!!!"

—Trial One-Sword

—[Hayate]

"—...I didn't see anything, but..."

"Two sounds."

"Zero lives left."

"Ah..."

—...Well, zero lives doesn't mean game over, right?

"It survived—...huh?"

"Eh?"

"Whatsthat."

"Ah, I've seen this befo."

"A sword in the shadow!!!!!!"

"From the Undying!!!!?"

"This is the Acrobat."

"Our friend."

—Weave the world.

"The best leader who aims for a perfect victory with his comrades."

—[Arcadia]!!

—…

—…

—…

—Okay, wait a sec.

—I won't wait...!

—Oof, gweh...!?

—Our... victory...!

—Y-yeah, you're right, we did it, calm down...!

—Hee, hehe...! Ahaha...!

—Hey, c'mon Ashe...! You forgot you're recording th—

—I haven't forgotten! I don't care...!

—It's not fine... no, the announcements are so loud!!

—That was fun...!

—Well, that's good... stop, stop, wait, wait, wait!

—The recording! At least stop the recording fir—!?

—..., ...Hk!

—…

—…

…

"—...Well... I guess that's that."

"Yeah."

"Right."

"That's that."

"Well."

"Yep."

"Right."

"Let's rewatch it from the beginning... and talk about everything, endlessly."

"No objections."

"This is an all-day course, isn't it?"

"Is one day enough?"

"Maybe I should request a day off."

"I have a strong feeling I'll still be rewatching this video a month from now."

"Forget a month, this is the kind of thing you'll want to watch for years to come."

"Well, I'm planning on streaming for the whole day today. But there's one thing I have to say."

"What's with the sudden formality?"

"Did you fall in love with the Acrobat, I mean, Acrobat-chan?"

"Lol."

"What's so funny?"

"I did."

"I did too."

"You all did, didn't you?"

"Don't drag it out, just say it."

"Yeah, I said it earlier, but—I'm now an AiHaru shipper."

"That's good too."

"But however."

"Harunia is good too."

"Seriously, what is with these guys..."

And they continue to talk. A certain Archiver's stream never ends.
