Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

The desert area of Shibuya Dungeon starts at the 68th floor and continues all the way to the 74th floor, just one level below the officially recognized highest floor. There are no obstacles, no artificial structures, just a wide expanse of desert. It\'s the kind of place that wears you down simply by walking, and if you\'re thinking about the return journey, it\'s a pretty unfair dungeon for explorers.

Well, only for normal explorers.

"Uh... aren\'t you going to say anything?"

"About... walking in the desert?"

: Explain this, please.

: Something clearly isn\'t right.

: Typical EX behavior…

: Do your job.

: You\'re out of touch, Kisaragi.

: Get it together, man.

"It\'s just a silent desert walk stream. Please enjoy the ambient sounds of the desert and the occasional monster fight."

: That\'s not the issue here.

: That\'s technically correct, but still wrong.

: No. Just no.

: What is this guy doing?

: Is this even a valid stream?

I don\'t get what they\'re complaining about. Didn\'t everyone say they wanted to see the deep floors? So now I\'m walking through the desert, showing it off, while Kamishiro casually blows away any monsters that approach us with magic. What\'s the problem?

Kamishiro and I are walking with umbrellas in the desert, so I don\'t really understand why the viewers are making such a fuss.

: Why is it raining in the desert?

: Why are you guys holding umbrellas?

: Are these two serious?

: They\'ve lost it.

: Our "honorary fellow" doesn\'t have any common sense.

: In a way, they truly are honorary members of our club.

"Rain? I\'m making it rain, obviously."

I glance back at the silver-haired, dark-eyed beauty walking behind me.

\'Master, you could\'ve explained that earlier.\'

"Was it necessary?"

The beauty behind me is Tenkū, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, a shikigami with the ability to control the weather. Since the desert is hot, I had her summon rain to keep things cool. I didn\'t think it needed an explanation.

"...It was hot, so I made it rain."

"Yeah, that\'s right."

: That\'s not the point here!

: It shouldn\'t be raining in the first place!

: The fact that you can just summon rain is the issue!

: Where did those umbrellas even come from?

: Casually controlling the weather like it\'s no big deal.

: Typical EX behavior. (N-th time)

"Is this really something to make a big deal about?"

"I don\'t think so. It was hot, so you made it rain. If it\'s raining, the desert\'s not so bad."

: The problem is that you can make it rain!

: This level of absurdity…

: I give up.

: It\'s impossible for monsters to understand human problems.

I\'m not using some over-the-top advanced magic to summon the rain. I\'m just having a shikigami do it for me. Can\'t they at least accept that much? I mean, if they start complaining about this, wait until they see the real battles with the deep-floor monsters—that\'s where things really get insane.

"Huh?"

"Hm?"

While tilting my head as I read the comments, Kamishiro\'s voice caught my attention. I looked up to see a giant scorpion with a shiny metallic sheen crawling toward us.

: What the!?

: Gross.

: Where did that even come from?

: Isn\'t that thing huge?

: This is way too dangerous!

"It must\'ve been slowly creeping up on us. This scorpion can reflect light and camouflage itself with its surroundings."

"Really?"

"...How do you not know that?"

"I\'ve never really cared."

Ugh, my head hurts.

Kamishiro has explored deep floors in countless dungeons, yet she\'s completely clueless about the monsters. Her approach has always been to just blow up any monsters she encounters with overwhelming magic—no real strategy, just brute force.

: Show some interest in the monsters.

: The fact that it can camouflage at that size is terrifying.

: Why did it stop camouflaging?

: That scorpion is scary as hell.

: It looks massive and tough.

"Maybe the rain made it stop camouflaging? After all, it never rains in the desert, so..."

: Don\'t say that when you\'re the one making it rain!

: It\'s literally raining right now!

: How about putting the umbrella away before making that point?

: Zero self-awareness, lol.

: Classic Kisaragi.

: We\'ve come to understand this.

: Kisaragi is casually reckless.

"It\'s coming."

Of course, monsters don\'t care about our commentary. Whether we\'re checking comments or holding umbrellas, once they spot us, they attack.

This scorpion... I doubt it\'s been officially named, considering how few people have encountered it. While it uses its massive size for brute force attacks, it isn\'t venomous, so it\'s not particularly dangerous.

As the scorpion charged toward us, Kamishiro fired a fire-based spell at it, like a flamethrower rather than a beam. But the scorpion kept advancing despite the flames, closing the gap.

: This is insane.

: This is wild.

: The chat is too calm, lol.

: But there\'s no way they\'ll lose.

: True, it\'s only the 74th floor.

"...It looks like its joints are pretty tough."

"Then maybe you should think a little before attacking—"

"—More firepower, then!"

Without listening to a word I said, Kamishiro unleashed one of her signature high-powered spells without hesitation. The magic instantly froze the desert floor, and the rain we\'d summoned turned into hail. I manipulated the wind to send the hail crashing into the scorpion\'s body.

With the ground frozen solid, the scorpion seemed to recognize us as a legitimate threat and stopped charging headlong at us. Instead, it maintained a cautious distance, sizing us up.

"Can you handle it?"

"You\'re just leaving it to me?"

"Well, I could do it if you want."

: Do they not feel threatened at all?

: Ugh, this is frustrating.

: They\'re too relaxed.

: Isn\'t this scorpion pretty strong?

"If you compress your magic, you should be able to pierce through it."

"...Compressed magic."

Asagao had developed a technique for that, but I wonder if Kamishiro can use it too.

"It\'s something they\'ve been researching in America. The idea of compressing magic has been around for a long time, but apparently, there haven\'t been many people with the talent to actually do it."

"Asagao can do it."

"Really? I\'d love to meet her sometime."

With a smile, Kamishiro began compressing her typically overpowering magic. Normally, her spells are strong enough to cause a dungeon collapse with ease, but now she was shrinking it down to an unbelievable size.

"This is wind magic."

Kamishiro-san\'s wind magic was released from his hand along with a sound that tore through the air, and the invisible blade easily sliced ​​through the scorpion\'s metallic shell as if it was butter.
