Sapphire Dungeon, mid-level.

"Oh. That's a Red Wolf─"

"Gyaain!"

"..."

I spotted the monster, but it was instantly incinerated.

I shifted my gaze with a serious expression.

"Over there is a Mage Goblin─"

"Gieee!"

"..."

However, the next monster was frozen solid.

Of course, it was Luzeria and Kokone who defeated it.

Taking a deep breath, I opened my mouth.

"Can't you wait a little longer!?"

""Ah.""

We moved on to explore the dungeon for a bit.

We made our way to the middle layer.

But there's one problem.

"Look back for a second! It's like it doesn't even resemble its original form!"

""...""

When we turned around, we saw a desolate land.

Not only the monsters but even the dungeon itself had been distorted.

This is the problem.

The familiars are too strong.

There's not even a hint of struggle so far.

"Like, you should take them down in a more stylish way, or maybe explain things while I do it..."

I studied at the "Beginner's Streaming Course" last night.

According to that video, in addition to strength, creativity is also necessary.

Like adding challenges, explaining things, or sometimes acting cute.

But this is just plain crushing.

"With a stream like this… Wait, what?"

[It's actually interesting because they're this strong lol.]

[It's great that they're going all out.]

[No need to be on edge lol.]

[I can watch with peace of mind.]

[It's cute how both of them are so eager.]

[It's for their master after all.]

[Kokone-chan, look this way~]

Surprisingly popular?

It seems that overthinking the stream's appeal was unfounded.

The steadily increasing concurrent viewers nearing 150,000 tell the story.

If that's the case, I pointed my finger straight ahead.

"Alright, go for it! You two, give it your all!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Leave it to us♡"

"""Gyaaaaaah!"""

[They're suddenly feeling good lol.]

[Kanata-kun is so simple, huh, lol.]

[Flipping the script is cute.]

[Aren't you going to fight?! Lol.]

[Instantly turned into a sea of fire lol.]

[The opposite is an ice world lol.]

[Changed to an apocalyptic scene lol lol.]

[The monsters are too pitiful lol lol.]

[The advanced explorers are crying.]

Having unleashed their power, the two began to trample the monsters even more.

They push forward vigorously, riding the momentum.

"!"

In the midst of it all, the atmosphere suddenly changed at a certain location.

There was a heavy, stagnant air.

As I felt the familiar weight, its true identity soon revealed itself.

"Grrrrrr!!"

"""...!"""

With a loud crash, a massive monster appeared, breaking through the rock wall.

It was a bipedal skeleton swordsman clad in magical armor.

The comment section instantly exploded with activity at the sight.

[Could it be an Aether Soldier!?]

[It's an ultra-rare monster!]

[But it's incredibly strong!]

[It's rare, so there isn't much combat data.]

[Is it an A-rank?]

[Wow, I've never seen one before.]

[Did it come out because it was inspired by the two of them!?]

An A-rank monster, the Aether Soldier.

It seems like it's still considered a rare entity even in modern times.

There are several reasons for this.

With a roar, the Aether Soldier raised its voice.

"I am the rare monster and the strongest swordsman… Gyaaaaaaa!"

""Get lost.""

"Ah."

But the words turn into a scream midway.

As expected, it was instantly killed by Luzeria and Kokone.

Half of it was scorched by flames, and the other half was frozen.

"N-No way... Cough."

"Aah."

[Instant kill lol.]

[No way lol.]

[Aether-kun! Lol.]

[Not even listening to it lol.]

[Let it introduce itself ; ;]

[It's an A-rank monster after all... right?.]

[I knew it.]

[Not even struggling with this lol.]

Well, honestly, I knew.

In that other world, even familiars were hunting on their own.

They called it "hide and seek" because it was rare.

With the strength of those two, questions and comments began to increase.

[How did Kokone-chan train?]

"Every day, I train while thinking of my master. If I sleep with a picture of my master under my pillow, he appears in my dreams, and it's even more effective."

"That's the first I've heard of it."

[So cute.]

[Loves her master so much, it's hilarious.]

[Even in dreams, they're together lol.]

[Kokone-chan's love is quite intense too lol.]

[I hope for merchandise development.]

[I also want a photo of you, Master.]

Due to the shocking confession, the comments take a strange turn.

I always thought she carried a pillow around, but it turns out she had such a secret.

Then, it's time for a question to Luzeria.

[Why is the older sister so strong?]

"Maybe it's thanks to Kanata-kun. If you give a high rating and subscribe to the channel, you'll get stronger!"

"That's a lie."

[No way that's true lol.]

[They're mainly saying it's a lie lol.]

[I subscribed to the channel.]

[I pressed the like button.]

[I pressed the registration button twice!]

[↑Aren't you canceling that?]

Thanks to that, both my subscribers and likes have increased a lot.

So, thanks for that.

Anyway, I moved on to work before it was too late...

"Geez, making me look so miserable... Good, it seems there's still some left."

The Aether Soldier had high-quality "Magic Cube" materials inside.

However, it is covered in magical armor, making it difficult to handle.

Then, comments start pouring in one after another.

[Hey, what are you doing?]

[Burn it quickly!]

[If you touch it carelessly, the high-quality material will disappear!]

[The magical armor is toxic too!]

The magical chunk is quite special, and if I make a mistake, it will vanish.

Therefore, I have to burn its body and "accidentally" obtain it from the remaining ashes.

It's just like the perception of another world from back then.

"Uh, this magic circuit is fine... Hmm, got it out!"

[No way!]

[Did you do it yourself?!]

[Is there really a method for that?!]

[This will turn the world upside down!]

But in the era of the other world I was summoned to, the method was already established.

It was quite a struggle, but I learned how to do it too.

In modern terms, it's like processing fugu.

"Ahaha, if you'd like, I can upload a tutorial video later."

Speaking of which, it seems my method for obtaining the "Slime Core" has also become a topic of discussion.

In the modern world, the methods for obtaining rare materials might not be well established.

This must be due to the differences in environment between worlds.

Even in modern times, despite the monsters having appeared decades ago, one must delve into dungeons to encounter them.

Even in this era, becoming an explorer is a rare choice.

In contrast, in the other world, I was living alongside monsters.

Because it was a world where girls and children fought with weapons, various methods had advanced.

In that case, my knowledge might be quite ahead of its time.

"W-well? This is a piece of cake for me... heh."

[Aren't you blushing? Lol.]

[You're surprisingly honest.]

[You're still a kid after all.]

[You're leaking laughter.]

[Their Master is cute.]

After that, I noticed it by looking at the comments.

[Wait, you need to get back quickly!]

[The magic orb will degrade!]

[Will you make it to the entrance?]

"Oh, right."

Magic crystals degrade incredibly quickly.

Within just a few minutes of being taken out, their value drops rapidly.

Despite these various troublesome factors, they are considered a high-quality material.

But that's not a problem for us.

"Kokone!"

"Yes, Master ─[Instant Freeze]."

"Thank you."

Kokone's breath was used to freeze the magic crystals.

With this, they won't degrade.

[Huh!?]

[So this means it won't degrade anymore!?]

[Wow, that's amazing lol.]

[So convenient, it's hilarious.]

[A revolution just happened casually lol.]

[No missing details lol.]

In this series of comments, requests gradually started appearing.

[Do you know how to obtain other high-quality materials too?]

"Well, I think I know a bit about that."

[Teach me!]

[Come on, please ; ;]

[No way, that's impossible.]

[If you know more, you'll be rich just from the information.]

[There's no way he'd teach us on a stream.]

It seems like there are a lot of people who want to know.

It might indeed be valuable information.

But at that time, I was completely full of myself.

"Well, fine. Just this once, okay? I'll occasionally share it on my streams from now on."

[Huhhhhh!?]

[Are you really going to tell us!?]

[Seriously, for free!?]

[This is worth a lot of money!?]

[The explorer community is buzzing!]

[The information broker is done for! lol.]

[There are people making money off this too!]

[Serves them right!!]

[This will change history!]

[I definitely subscribed to the channel.]

[I'll definitely come back next time!]

"Hehehe."

Next time, they'll come to see it again.

Comments like that overflowed, and I couldn't help but smile.

─At that moment, the surroundings suddenly began to shake violently.

"Whoa!?"

"Master, hold on!"

"W-What is this...!?"

It's a big earthquake.

More like the dungeon itself is moving.

Comments accelerated on this phenomenon I didn't know about.

[Is it a Dungeon Shift?]

[The sections are changing!]

[It's connecting to a different floor!]

[No way, this hardly ever happens!]

"D-Dungeon Shift!?"

I don't know what that is.

But when I heard that the sections were shifting, I understood.

This whole area is probably moving downwards.

And then─.

"Goooooooorrrr!"

"This is...!"

Eventually, with a clank, the entire area was secured, and they faced off against the giant bear monster.

They had probably reached the lower levels.

However, it was quite pitiful.

"Master, a new ingredient, huh?"

"Hehe, how should I prepare it?"

"G-Groar!? Sob."

Under the pressure of the two familiars, the bear monster was teary-eyed.
