The old rural farmer was S class. - The Spotlight Shines on the Rural Farmer

Title: Episode 4 – The Spotlight Shines on the Rural Farmer

“What? What’s this?”

Gosch, as usual, went out to the field and opened the Fairy Tube. He displayed the information from yesterday’s livestream, and Gosch couldn’t believe his eyes.

[Maximum Concurrent Viewers from Yesterday’s Livestream: 17,190]

“Gosh… This can’t be right. Why is the viewer count in the five digits?”

Gosch not only rubbed his eyes, but also pinched his cheeks, but the displayed numbers remained the same. It seemed like this wasn’t a dream after all.

“I see, this must be some sort of glitch. The viewer count when I last checked yesterday was only around 3…”

Since the advent of video streaming culture by the Great Sage of the Era, the number of streamers using the Fairy Tube has been steadily increasing. However, among the numerous streamers, there were only a handful who reached five digits in viewer count.

Livestreams of seasoned adventurers conquering high-level dungeons, popular songstresses performing, and famous streamers collaborating with major trading companies – these were the realms achieved by a select few.

For Gosch, a rural farmer, to achieve this was naturally unbelievable.

“Well… I guess I’ll proceed with today’s livestream as usual.”

While the information displayed earlier bothered Gosch, he decided to start today’s stream. He prepared the Fairy Tube’s streaming screen and focused on the tiny spirit.

“Hello! Let’s start today’s livestream— Wait, huh!?”

Gosch let out a bewildered cry, and with good reason. Within seconds of starting the stream, an unprecedented flood of comments filled the screen.

“Hello!”

“Good evening!”

“Hello, Gosch-san! I came to watch today too♪”

“They’re here!”

“First time viewer! Nice to meet you!”

“Also a first-timer!”

“Expecting something big!”

“Oh, it’s the cool uncle!”

“Handsome old man!”

“Nice voice!”

“Dignified. But that’s good.”

“What on earth is starting?”

“I watched yesterday’s video!”

“I’m the one who said it was boring yesterday. I’m sorry for being presumptuous (bows)”

“Concurrent Viewers: 2,519”

“Concurrent Viewers: 3,100”

“Concurrent Viewers: 4,659”

“Huh? What’s happening?”

Gosch was frozen in response to a situation he hadn’t anticipated.

A storm of comments. It was so overwhelming that it was difficult to even check each comment.

Until yesterday, he had the leisure to respond to each comment one by one (although most of them were from a listener named ‘Nyaochin’).

“Concurrent Viewers: 5,098”

Looking at it, even though he had just greeted the stream, the concurrent viewers had exceeded five thousand.

“Um, everyone, are you sure you’re watching the right stream?”

“Yes, we are!”

“We want to watch your stream!”

“Well, I’m not really surprised…”

Gosch let out a word, and comments flowed vigorously.

It seemed that the displayed concurrent viewers weren’t a glitch, but for Gosch, it was incomprehensible why this was happening.

Comments expressing impatience for the stream to start began to flow, and Gosch, though bewildered, coughed lightly.

“Well, then, today let’s talk about ‘the correct way to split firewood.'”

“Boring.”

“It does seem dull.”

“Too dull!”

“Still funny!”

“It hasn’t even been five minutes…”

“Gosch, I’ve become a fan!”

“I thought I had mastered the way of the sword, but it seems I still have a long way to go…”

“This old man is amazing!”

“I became a fan of you!”

“Who is this extraordinary talent? Well, it was me…”

“Palm of the hand crew.”

“How did you do that?”

“Sad news: World Tree, fallen.”

“Sad news, old man cuts down World Tree.”

“Overlapping lol”

“That’s not the World Tree, is it?”

“Let me tell you what just happened…”

“Calm down. There’s probably already a compilation article about it.”

“I already made one.”

“This is going to be big!”

“Gosch, thank you!”

“Whew…”

Since comments were flowing endlessly, Gosch couldn’t tell when to end the stream. He cut off the stream only after about ten minutes had passed.

“I don’t know why this is happening, but it feels like something unbelievable is going on…”

Gosch let out a deep breath. Then, with the large sword in hand, he made his way home.

Meanwhile, in a certain mansion in the royal capital of Graham…

A golden-haired beauty was watching Gosch’s video released today. The girl watched the scene before the tree felling over and over again.

Then…

“Hehehe. I know where Gosch-san is! Let’s go to Moslif!”

The girl stood up with a beaming smile.
