"Well then, I would like to start the stream."

I am determined to become a dungeon streamer.

The next day, I immediately began the stream.

I visited the same Sapphire Dungeon as yesterday.

It seemed to be a hot topic everywhere, and many comments were already flowing in.

[Hello.]

[Heeeere he comes!]

[As expected, I had to come to see.]

[So this is the rumored Demon King...]

[He looks like an ordinary guy.]

"As the title suggests this time─"

Apparently, two of my familiars went out of control, and now they're even calling me a Demon King online.

And right after the start, I bowed my head deeply.

"Regarding the matter that has been causing a stir in the world."

[What the!?]

[He suddenly apologized lol.]

[An apology stream right off the bat is new lol lol.]

[If you look closely, he might not be scary.]

[Don't be fooled, idiots.]

[The scariest type is the one who looks normal on the outside.]

[Even so, what is he going to do?]

After one night, the channel subscribers reached 150,000.

The current concurrent viewers were already 50,000.

These are impressive numbers for an account created just yesterday.

Despite being surprised by the momentum of the comments, I continued to respond to the last comment.

"To, today, um, I came to explain!"

[Explain?]

[What is there to explain now...]

"First of all, I'm a good person! I won't destroy the world, see?"

I spread my arms wide and smile.

But I don't feel like I'm smiling well.

I intend to show I'm not an enemy, but it has no effect.

[Even though you're a Demon King?]

[Good people don't have to say it themselves, no?]

"Ugh... oh, right. If you look at those two, you'll understand!"

Then, I pointed my hand towards the familiars in the back.

The trigger for this situation was that two of the familiars had gone berserk.

I had sternly warned them at home, so they should be explaining together with me.

"Look, over there… Huh?"

However, what spread out before me was a scene straight out of hell.

"Master! We made a statue of you with monsters!"

"Ha?"

"It turned out so beautifully. Ah, my arm broke."

"...!?"

Kokone was making a giant ice statue of me.

The materials were the nearby monsters that had been frozen.

They were torn apart and connected with other parts to create it.

From the beginning, they were not considered enemies and were indiscriminately defeated only to see if they could be used as puzzle pieces.

[Kokone-chan!?]

[Are all those monsters!?]

[Are they freezing them and turning them into puzzles...]

[That's scary lol.]

[Psycho path lol.]

[Are all those C-rank monsters...?]

[They're only seen as materials lol.]

[How strong are they?]

[It's like a horror movie!]

"Kokone, you said you were going to do an explanation stream, right...?"

"Yes! So, I thought we could take this opportunity to praise our master together!"

"Everyone's scared, alright!"

I immediately put my head in my hands.

It's true that Kokone is a bit off sometimes.

So, I shifted my gaze to the reliable older sister.

"If it were Luzeria in this situation─"

"These monsters burn so well. Hehehehe."

"Ah, aah..."

However, there was also a tragic situation there.

"Oh, Kanata-kun, the fire is lit. Let's warm up over here."

"No, it's a huge fire..."

The area was engulfed in flames.

The fuel was the local monsters they had gathered.

"Come on, hurry up. Phew."

"""Gyaaaaaaa!!"""

"..."

When Luzeria blows her breath, the flames intensify.

Despite her beautiful appearance, it has become a shocking video.

The high-performance camera has already applied a mosaic.

[That's why it's scary lol.]

[It's still a horror video lol.]

[The mosaic is penetrating lol.]

[What the hell is this psycho group?]

[Are they out of touch with reality?]

[It's not a phew lol.]

[It's starting to get a little interesting.]

"Ugh, come on!"

It seems the two of them were up to something while I was preparing for the stream.

I clapped my hands to get their attention.

"Hey, you two, gather up!"

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"...Why are you so close? You're right next to me."

The two of them quickly moved to my sides, sandwiching me.

Their touch was so soft it felt like it could make a squishy sound.

[Isn't the distance a bit too close?]

[Kokone-chan is cute.]

[So petite.]

[The older sister's chest is huge.]

[Luzeria-san is so alluring.]

[Flowers in both hands.]

[A little envious.]

[Who are these two beautiful women!]

[It smells good.]

[But it's really terrifying, right?]

The overwhelming visuals of the two, who seemed almost inhuman, caused the comments to flood in.

However, the fear was not completely dispelled.

"Why did you do that? Yes, Kokone-san!"

"I wanted to convey the greatness of my master to the whole world..."

"It's not getting through! It's a horror video!"

"I'm sorry."

[Is he serious? Lol.]

[They got a bit deflated.]

[So cute!]

[They're for his master, after all.]

[I forgive you because you're cute.]

[No, what you're doing is still weird, right? Lol.]

[You guys, calm down! Lol.]

Thanks to Kokone's cuteness, the comments have calmed down.

Things are going well, I continue.

"Next up, Luzeria-san!"

"Kanata-kun, you were nervous, so I thought watching the fire might calm you down."

"Ah, yeah, it definitely blew my nerves away. It was too shocking."

[Of course lol.]

[Surprisingly useful lol.]

[Stop doing a comedy routine lol.]

[The older sister is pretty extreme too, huh.]

[Just because she cares about Kanata-kun.]

[It's intense every time, though.]

[A bit funny.]

[Isn't it kind of scary?]

"O-oh?"

As they talked, it seemed the viewers' fear gradually faded.

They're a bit out there, but I guess there's no malice behind it.

Still, the point that matters most is this.

[Who are these two?]

I glance at them.

The three of us nod at each other and decide to speak.

"They're my familiars."

[Whaaat!?]

[So they're following Kanata-kun!?]

[No way lol.]

[So that's why they're so attached.]

[So he's really a Demon King.]

[Their master is something else.]

[So that means he's the strongest...]

It was such a shocking fact that the comments were filled with agitation.

Some immediately started to indulge in fantasies.

[Um, no way...]

[Things like that and this too!?]

[Can you even give lewd orders!?]

They hurriedly denied it.

"I-I would never do such a thing!"

"Oh, but you can, right?"

"Luzeria, be quiet."

"Yay!"

[Damn it.]

[What the hell is this guy.]

[I'm jealous.]

[That's unfair.]

If that's the case, more questions will come up.

[Where did you meet those two?]

"Well, um... somewhere."

However, I dodged the question. After discussing it among the three of us, we concluded that it would be better not to reveal anything about the other world.

It was to avoid unnecessary arguments over such an absurd story.

[Yes, the mastermind is decided.]

[As expected of the Demon King.]

[Maybe they're from another world.]

[That seems unlikely, but it's suspicious.]

"Ugh..."

Although there were some comments about being a Demon King, the momentum wasn't as strong as before the stream started.

Perhaps the lack of hostility was conveyed.

The increase in positive comments is the best proof of that.

[But they're so interesting.]

[Yeah, they're so outrageous.]

[I've never seen anything this wild before.]

[I pressed the like button!]

[Are there any goods for Kokone-chan yet?]

[I want to be burned by the older sister.]

[I'm glad Kanata-kun isn't scary.]

"E, eh! Really!"

[Looks happy lol.]

[Cute.]

[Glad you could explain yourself.]

Furthermore, I glanced at the concurrent viewers.

There were astonishing numbers.

"Wow, 100,000 concurrent viewers!?"

[Amazing!]

[On the second stream too!]

[Congratulations!]

[How many times more than last time!?]

[Apparently it was zero, so I can't calculate it lol.]

[Anyway, congratulations!]

"Ah, thank you! I'm so happy...!"

I could only express feelings like an elementary school student, but that's my honest feeling.

All things considered, it's thanks to the two of them.

I turn to the two familiars.

"Thank you!"

"Ah, Master...!"

"Kanata-kun...!"

"─Wait, hey!?"

─Booooom!

The moment I expressed my gratitude, a deafening roar echoed around us.

An icy world and a sea of flames suddenly expanded.

It seems they couldn't hold back their emotions and exploded.

[...!?]

[Whoa!?]

[I was surprised lol.]

[These two are definitely dangerous people lol.]

[It's bad for my heart lol.]

[How happy were they lol.]

[Their emotions are intense and cute.]

[They're cute when they're embarrassed.]

"Ha, haha..."

If there were other people around, it would have been dangerous.

Since this is the modern era, we should be careful.

While thinking that, I looked ahead.

"Well then, shall we move on?"

[Oh.]

[No way!]

[I thought it was just an explanation!]

"Yes. Since we came all the way to the dungeon, I thought we might as well explore."

[Yay!]

[Here we go!]

[We get to see more of Kokone-chan＾＾]

[Hey, older sister, look over here!]

[I'm just looking forward to it as an explorer.]

[I can't see a future where we struggle lol.]

After finishing the long opening, I turn to face forward.

If the explanation goes well, I was thinking of moving on to the strategy.

That's why I started in the dungeon.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Okay, Kanata-kun♡"

"...It's hard to explore with you so close, so please step back."

And so, we proceeded deeper.

Little did we know, a legend would be born from this moment─.
