2 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I saw it!!”

3 Viewer Watching the Stream
“It was unbelievable this time too.”

4 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I’m totally satisfied right now lol.”

5 Viewer Watching the Stream

6 Viewer Watching the Stream
“At first, I was a bit disappointed though.”

7 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞6 I get it. When they said it was a living space.”

8 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Seriously, it never disappoints.”

9 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I stopped watching for a bit, but when I came back, it was insane.”

10 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞9 You fool. Hoshi-kun’s ‘normal’ is never normal.”

11 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Anyone who left at that point is third-rate. They don’t understand Hikone Hoshi.”

12 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Lol, some real enthusiasts in here.”

13 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Seems like he’s getting more enthusiastic fans.”

14 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Ichigo was so cute~”

15 Viewer Watching the Stream
“That little bird, right?”

16 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Happy to see more fluffy healing.”

17 Viewer Watching the Stream
“As expected, it was a Phoenix lol.”

18 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Using a Phoenix as heating just because it’s ‘a bit cold’ lolol.”

19 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Using a Phoenix as a heater is so Hoshi-kun lol.”

20 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Well, it’s ‘just a Phoenix’ from around here (lol).”

21 Viewer Watching the Stream
“It would be terrifying if they were just around here lolol.”

22 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Lol, he’s too out of the ordinary.”

23 Viewer Watching the Stream
“If you grow up in that environment, that becomes the norm lol.”

24 Viewer Watching the Stream
“By the way, isn’t Ichigo hot to touch?”

25 Viewer Watching the Stream
“She’s clearly burning.”

26 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Hoshi-kun seemed fine though.”

27 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞26 Note: His resistance is not a standard benchmark.”

28 Viewer Watching the Stream
“There’s data on Phoenixes, but I guess Hoshi-kun is the only one in the world who keeps one as a pet.”

29 Viewer Watching the Stream
“The way it goes ‘bou’! is so cute.”

30 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞29 I get it.”

31 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Everything changed when Ichigo showed up.”

32 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Considerate Hoshi-kun, thinking, ‘Let’s use a Phoenix for heating to save on electricity bills’.”

33 Viewer Watching the Stream
“That’s not how it works lolol.”

34 Viewer Watching the Stream
“He’s a natural airhead.”

35 Viewer Watching the Stream
“But seriously, why doesn’t Hoshi-kun’s clothes catch fire?”

36 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I wondered about that too.”

37 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Now that you mention it, he was wearing the same clothes as when he streamed with Nanamin.”

38 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞37 Might have been.”

39 Viewer Watching the Stream
“So, what? Are those clothes made of some special material?”

40 Viewer Watching the Stream
“It’s not impossible…”

41 Viewer Watching the Stream
“But who would make that?”

42 Viewer Watching the Stream
“He’s got the perfect and ultimate sister, doesn’t he?”

43 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Ah.”

44 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Things are connecting…”

45 Viewer Watching the Stream
“So, what? Did Erika’s mom make those clothes for Hoshi-kun?”

46 Viewer Watching the Stream
“That would make sense.”

47 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Should ask in the next stream.”

48 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Guys, don’t forget to mention Blue Hawaii-chan.”

49 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I really like Blue Hawaii-chan.”

50 Viewer Watching the Stream
“She’s my favorite!”

51 Viewer Watching the Stream
“She is the idol of the Hikone house.”

52 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I was thrilled when the loli girl came.”

53 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞52 Yikes.”

54 Viewer Watching the Stream
“(I can’t say I was thrilled either…)”

55 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞52 I get it, comrade.”

56 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Well, she’s actually popular.”

57 Viewer Watching the Stream
“The aurora was beautiful.”

58 Viewer Watching the Stream
“It’s called ‘Soap Bubble’, right? I want to bathe in it.”

59 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞58 You

‘d probably die.”

60 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Yeah, it’s probably best to think of it as equivalent to Ichigo’s ‘Flame Breath’.”

61 Viewer Watching the Stream
“When the air conditioning war(?) started, I wasn’t sure what would happen.”

62 Viewer Watching the Stream
“We saw the pinnacle of the air conditioning war world.”

63 Viewer Watching the Stream
“And Hoshi-kun stopping it with a clap.”

64 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Turns out Hoshi-kun is really the master of that house.”

65 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Both Ichigo and Blue Hawaii looked scared for a moment.”

66 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Hoshi-kun didn’t seem particularly angry.”

67 Viewer Watching the Stream
“We witnessed another legend.”

68 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Has anyone compiled Hoshi-kun’s episodes so far?”

69 Viewer Watching the Stream
“【Compilation of Hoshi-kun’s Ecology】
・Sumo wrestling with a dragon
・Playing tag with Fenrir
・Endurance contest with a Phoenix in heat (←New!)
・Stopping a Phoenix and Siren’s fight with a clap (←New!)”

70 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Thanks for the summary.”

71 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Lol, they called it his ‘ecology’.”

72 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Lol, it’s like he was raised in a jungle.”

73 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Actually, he was raised in a dungeon lol.”

74 Viewer Watching the Stream
“And not just any, but way beyond an S-rank depth lol.”

75 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Clearly a non-human at this point…”

76 Viewer Watching the Stream
“No wonder he’s so strong lol.”

77 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Apparently, there are even levels below the second floor of the basement.”

78 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞79 You’re joking, right?”

79 Viewer Watching the Stream
“It’s true. He mentioned something about a ‘URL~’ around 1:16:40 in this stream.”

80 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Seriously? Thanks.”

81 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Is it just me, or are there a lot of hardcore fans in this thread? lol.”

82 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Also, the new characters were really unique.”

83 Viewer Watching the Stream
“I, for one, am satisfied seeing the addition of fluffy and humanoid characters.”

84 Viewer Watching the Stream
“The balance is good.
Melon, Wataame, Ichigo – three fluffies.
Erimama, Blue Hawaii, Hoshi-kun – three humanoids.”

85 Viewer Watching the Stream
“＞＞84 Hoshi-kun casually classified as humanoid lol.”

86 Viewer Watching the Stream
“Well, he’s kind of graduated from being human, hasn’t he…”

<Third-Person Perspective>

After Hoshi’s stream ended, a certain bulletin board was buzzing with activity, while at the same time, within the guild…

“Sigh…”

In the meeting room, a woman let out a sigh. She was Tadanobashi, the Guild Director.

“…”

Several minutes had passed since Hoshi’s stream ended. Tadanobashi was rewatching the stream intently. The surrounding staff, concerned, spoke to her.

“Di-Director…”
“Are you okay?”
“You look strained.”

The staff knew that Tadanobashi often had stomachaches due to matters related to Hoshi.

“…”

However, Tadanobashi’s current strain was slightly different from before. As she rewatched the stream, she thought to herself.

(“So cute…!”)

She was particularly interested in Ichigo and Blue Hawaii, who appeared in this stream, especially the fluffy Phoenix – Ichigo.

(“I wonder if this one will be friendly too.”)

Tadanobashi was already thinking about when she would get close to them. Right now, she felt strained because she had to maintain a firm attitude so as not to let on what she was really thinking.

(“If the Director is taken lightly, it’s all over. I must behave as if I’m watching for surveillance purposes.”)

Tadanobashi was on the verge of becoming a fan of Hoshi’s pets (especially the fluffy ones), desperately trying to hide it.

“Director. It’s about time.”
“Eh! Oh, yes, it is.”

As the scheduled time approached, Tadanobashi reluctantly put away her smartphone. This quick switch was characteristic of someone who was good at their job.

Tadanobashi asked a staff member near the entrance of the meeting room.

“Has she… arrived yet?”
“Yes, she’s waiting.”
“Thank you. Please call her in.”

Following Tadanobashi’s request, the person she had called to the guild entered the meeting room.

“Excuse me.”
“Thank you for coming.”
“No, I’m also indebted to you.”

The woman took a seat, lifted her face, and began speaking to Tadanobashi.

“It’s been a while, Ms. Hinata.”
“The same to you, Ms. Tadanobashi.”

The person Tadanobashi had called was Hinata Hikari – the only high school student who was an S-rank explorer, who had rushed to the deep levels with Hoshi.

“Did you get a chance to check the data?”
“Yes, all set.”
“And about the consent…”
“Leave it to me.”
“!”

Tadanobashi inquired, watching Hikari’s expression, to which Hikari promptly responded. It seemed she had accepted the request.

“It’s a relief to hear you say that. This is something I can only ask of you, one of the few S-ranks.”
“I’m not sure if I’m up to it, but I’ll give it a try.”
“Thank you. Actually, there’s another child I’d like to ask for help, but…”
“Hehe, I won’t press on who that might be.”

Both had someone in mind with ‘Ho’ and ‘Shi’ in their name. Still, it seemed there were some rules or circumstances preventing this.

“Then let me reiterate…”

With that, Tadanobashi spoke of the task she had for Hikari.

“I would like you to investigate the possibility of a ‘Magic Core’ formation in the dungeon.”
