Kaval: ?
"Wait, what kind of nas are you two using?!"
"Watch and learn. I'm gonna be legendary."
He grinned and slowly typed in his ID.
[Blast Cool]
"It looks like we can add friends too."
Elyun tapped the "Add Friend" button on her panel.
Kaval and Kidd both received friend requests from Sailor Moon.
For a while,
The entire hall was full of laughter and noise.
This was the first ti they'd seen sothing like this.
No one had ever imagined projection magic could be used this way.
Whoever ca up with it must be a genius.
———
On the other side of the hall,
A white-haired elf was tiptoeing toward the Labyrinth entrance, using her staff to hide her face.
Trying very hard not to be seen.
"Frieren-sama!"
Frieren froze in place.
Then quickly put on her usual dignified act.
"Fern... What a coincidence."
Fern was clearly not buying it.
"Frieren-sama, are you done with your lessons today?"
"You pushed all your teaching duties onto and then tried to sneak off?"
Frieren: ( ´-﹏-` )
She poked her fingers together, awkward.
"But Fern, it's the Labyrinth. There could be treasure chests inside."
"That's such a tragedy."
"There might even be rare magic items!"
Fern responded flatly, "Doesn't Chishiya-san already have a stockpile of magic books and tools?"
Frieren shook her head.
Wagging her finger, full of seniority.
"Fern, exploring a Labyrinth is only fun if you do it yourself."
"And..."
Her eyes sparkled.
"You never know what you'll find."
Frieren raised her staff, visibly excited.
"..."
She's hopeless. Sotis she acts just like a kid.
Fern sighed.
"I'll allow it, but just this once."
Frieren bead, stood on her tiptoes, and patted Fern on the head.
"Fern is too cute."
"Even if you say that, this is only for today!"
The two of them opened the [Labyrinth Forum].
Ten minutes passed.
More and more adventurers began posting content.
There were even videos now.
Fern clicked one out of curiosity.
The uploader's ID was [I Love to Drink a Little Wine].
The video began.
Gobta's big, round head filled the screen.
He held his magic device backward for a selfie.
"Look, the guy behind . In order to get dinner, he broke into the Night Spider's cave."
"When the spiders realized soone had invaded their ho, the whole family—mom, dad, and baby—ca out to defend it."
"Unfortunately, due to the power gap, they were no match for him."
"In the end, all three were... brutally slaughtered!"
In the background, a red-haired boy with an axe was casually dismantling a spider corpse.
He looked up at the cara, visibly confused.
Fern: ?
Frieren: ??
Wait a minute... isn't that Stark?
Why aren't they training?
And what is with this weird video format?
Gobta had edited the video like an episode of Today's Statent, giving it a bizarre cri docuntary vibe.
Did he just narrate a monster fight like it was a homicide investigation?
Is anyone actually watching this?
The two of them scrolled down.
They regretted it imdiately.
The comnts were booming.
The video already had over 100,000 likes!
[HAHAHA! Brutal slaughter! I'm crying!]
[This goblin's a genius. Who taught him to record videos like this?!]
[How do I post a video? Can soone teach ?]
[ 1]
The comnt section was full of chaos and lon-eaters.
People from this world had never seen anything like this.
And now they were completely hooked.
Fern and Frieren exchanged a glance.
This... This is nuts.
This world has officially lost its mind.
Have they already been left behind by the tis?
Just then—
An official notification popped up.
[Underground Labyrinth Enterprise: Welco to the Labyrinth City of Lapris.]
[You may post videos, pictures, text, and other content on the Forum.]
[Record your most beautiful life monts.]
[Our company will award titles to creators of high-quality content.]

[First official influencer: @I Love to Drink a Little Wine]
[Everyone is welco to participate.]
———
In the Office
Welco, [The Most Handso Man in the World].
Chishiya logged into his account and scrolled through the forum posts.
As expected—it was a hit.
The people of this world were truly starving for entertainnt.
They had projection magic and all this technology, yet life was still mind-numbingly dull.
All it took was porting over a few TikTok features, and they fell for it hard.
Give it a few more weeks, and the full streaming era would begin.
And if so, he would be the first-ever livestrear in another world.
In the future, Underground Labyrinth Enterprise would expand into the broadcasting business.
Build the largest livestream platform in all of fantasy.
Raise a few idol strears and traffic would skyrocket.
It could even push the company's valuation into the stratosphere.
But speaking of which—
Gobta was a total livestreaming genius.
That goblin was hilarious.
Chishiya had only given him a loose script, and yet the performance was so natural it felt improvised.
The guy had host material. He'd definitely be nurtured further.
"Chishiya!!"
Just as he was plotting more expansions,
The door burst open.
A pink-haired girl in a crop top flew at him and tackled him into a hug.
She wrapped around his neck, rubbing her face against his.
"Eh? You've gotten stronger."
Milim sniffed him curiously.
Then blinked in surprise.
It had only been about a month, and Chishiya had actually awakened?
And his magic power had exploded.
This growth rate was nuts!
"Milim? Weren't you on the job? What are you doing here?"
"Hahaha..."
Milim let go, grinning awkwardly as she spun around.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's been a while, so let's not talk about that."
Figures...
Chishiya could already guess what happened. This walking disaster definitely picked a fight with Carrion.
But clearly, Carrion followed instructions.
The original disaster arc had been completely avoided.
Perfect. Less ss to clean up.
He was a businessman, not so interdinsional janitor.
Milim leaned in close.
"Chishiya, what fun stuff have you co up with lately?"
She'd already seen the virtual panel earlier.
The [Forum] function was cute, but not really her thing.
What did catch her attention... was the [Arena].
They could actually fight.
And fighting raised your rank.
Now that was her kind of fun.
There was no way she wasn't joining in.
Not only joining—she was going to the top of the leaderboard!
