Chapter 76 - Stream Comment Section

"Hello, everyone. It's time for the Hayate-Style Four-Sword Style Promotion Office."



Many voices expressed concern for him after his long absence from streaming.



Saionji Hisato had become a trophy in a dungeon in western Japan. He challenged Hayate, who had come to rescue him, to a duel with Rena on the line, and suffered a crushing defeat in front of tens of millions of live viewers.

If he had simply lost, it would have been one thing, but his words and actions caused a huge controversy and went up in flames. The impact was so significant that the Saionji Group's overall stock price plummeted. Hisato, the cause of the trouble, was disowned by his father, the head of the group. His current whereabouts are unknown.





The zaibatsu that backed Saionji, Nagumo, and Hojo used their politicians to enact the Dungeon Protection Law with unprecedented speed, aiming to capture Hayate and use him as they pleased.

However, Shinonome Rena snapped when Hayate was detained again. Her ‘request’ to a group of ninja and a super-high-performance AI resulted in the complete suspension of the Dungeon Protection Law, and it was decided that its contents would be reviewed.



"Uh. A lot has been going on, so sorry for the long break between streams. But for some reason, the number of subscribers has been increasing. Thank you all so much."



A built-in auto-translation feature allows comments written from any country to be translated into the language set by the reader. Thanks to this feature, newly joined American Hayate fans and Japanese fans can interact without any problems.

Incidentally, users can choose from various translation levels, from a native level that reads naturally to a level that intentionally leaves a foreign accent. Many viewers choose the latter setting to distinguish between Japanese and foreign viewers.



This stream was also getting quite lively. The number of concurrent viewers had already surpassed three million.

However, not all the comments on this stream were positive.



The strengthening of Fake Hayate had made it impossible for the ‘Dungeon Clearer Corps,’ China's heroic figures, to gather items. As a result, critical comments from Chinese viewers flooded in.



"Yeah, it seems Fake Hayate has gotten stronger. Sorry about that. But I think it's at a level you can manage by upgrading your equipment, so please do your best. I think this might cause some trouble, so I'm going to turn off comments from certain regions."

There was a function that allowed him to forcibly turn off comments from specific countries or areas, and Hayate decided to use it. He thought his Japanese viewers would be put off by the flood of comments from China, with its massive population.



It wasn't just American viewers who had come to the stream.



Fans from Japan, America, Thailand, and Europe seemed to be getting along just fine.

"Alright, let's get to the main topic. I have an announcement for everyone today. Up until now, I've basically been working solo, but from now on, we'll be welcoming a new member to the Hayate-Style Four-Sword Style Promotion Office booth!"



"Looks like the new fans from overseas are getting hyped up too. I'm happy to see that. Alright, time to announce the new member. Well, I think you all know already... It's Elena-san!"

"I’m Elena. It's a pleasure."

"I'll keep my own booth, but I'll primarily be streaming dungeon clears from this one. So if anyone is only subscribed to my booth, please subscribe to this one too."



"From now on, I'll be clearing dungeons with her. Let's do our best, Rena."

"Yeah."

"And I have one more announcement. Separate from dungeon clears, we've decided on a collaboration with a certain influencer!"



"Oh. I think I just saw a sharp comment."



"Up until now, I've been pretty lucky with getting rare equipment. But I think future dungeon clears will require even more luck. So, by collaborating with a god of Japan, I'm hoping to boost my luck. Let me introduce her. The one and only god of Hinomoto, Amaterasu-sama."

"I am Amaterasu. A pleasure to meet you."

<'Noja' lolis are cute.>

The collaboration with Rena and the god that Hayate announced received strong support from the viewers.
