Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

: These are the top 1% of applicants

: The warriors who made it past the document screening and weren\'t eliminated in the interviews

: Insane odds, lol

: Can\'t be helped

"Hello to everyone who\'s seeing me for the first time! And to those who always watch me, thank you! It\'s Doudou Rinrin here!"

: Huh?

: Isn\'t that Panda?!

: Oh, it\'s just Panda

: Hey Panda, it\'s time to send you back to China

: Still in Japan, huh? We told you already, the rental fees are too high—send the Panda back!

"Wait, really?! I was told by Kisaragi-san that if I greeted everyone with high energy, it would get everyone hyped!"

Of course, that was a lie. I had already checked out how Douba Rin (aka Panda) was treated during his streams, so I figured that if he started with a high-energy greeting, those who knew him from my audience would react exactly like this. I also knew that getting this kind of response would allow him to show off his strengths. Simply put, he\'s the type of person who gets teased a lot.

: Totally getting treated like a Panda, lol

: Congrats on joining the company

: So that\'s why you were so energetic recently

: Now you\'re a company Panda

: Not a corporate streamer, but a corporate Panda

: Well, you are a Panda

"I\'m not a Panda! I\'m a dungeon streamer, not a Panda! \'Panda\' is just a nickname!"

: But you\'re still a Panda

: A Panda is still a Panda

: First time seeing him, but this guy\'s hilarious

: Panda, you\'re the best comedian ever

: He\'s basically a comedian, lol

: Wait, isn\'t he a dungeon streamer?

: He\'s a trained Panda, right?

"Kisaragi-san?!"

"It\'s going as planned."

: Lmao

: Classic us

: We knew it

: You got tricked, man

It looks like the viewers caught on quickly. They realized right away that I\'d deliberately told him to greet them that way. It irks me a bit to be lumped in with the audience like that, but I\'ll admit that we have similar sensibilities.

"Alright, let\'s have Panda step back, and move on to the next introduction."

"Panda?!?"

I\'m planning to let Douba Rin (Panda) handle the playful banter with the viewers that I can\'t do myself. Well, even if it\'s supposed to be playful, it often ends up with him getting roasted, but I\'ll overlook that for now. Still, I\'m confident in his ability to succeed as a dungeon explorer. Just like Miyamoto-san, he\'s got the talent.

"Next up, it\'s me!"

"Okay, go ahead."

"Hello, I\'m Mimika! I dropped out of university and decided to become a streamer with early bird! I just turned 20!"

"Hmm, you didn\'t need to introduce your age."

"What? Really?"

: Did we just get a cute but kinda dumb girl?

: Lol

: Is that an insult or a compliment?

: What part of that was a compliment?

Mimika\'s real name is Tennouji Ayase. During her interview, she showed such intense passion that I decided to hire her. Apparently, she had drifted into university without really knowing what she wanted to do and was on the verge of failing out. That\'s when she decided to try becoming a dungeon explorer instead of getting a part-time job.

However, with no one knowledgeable about dungeon exploration at her university, she couldn\'t get any proper guidance... until she saw the recruitment announcement in one of my streams and thought, "This is it!"

"I\'m a complete beginner when it comes to dungeons! This is also my first time streaming! I\'m totally new, so please take care of me!"

: Hmm, she\'s cute

: She\'s got a real sunshine vibe

: Is she a gyaru?

: She sounds a bit dumb, but I think she\'s smart underneath

: She feels a bit like an airhead

: Which is it?

I didn\'t hire her just because of her passion, though. The university she dropped out of was a prestigious public university. She said she just "drifted into" college admissions, but honestly, I can\'t even comprehend that level of intelligence. She\'s probably on par with Asakawa, who always ranked first in her grade. I was honestly shocked when I saw her résumé.

Though she speaks casually, during the interview, she showed glimpses of real intelligence, which is why I hired her. I also believe she has enough talent to become a successful dungeon explorer.

"Alright, last up."

"Yes! My name is Kishiya Douman, and I\'ll be joining early bird. Please take care of me!"

: Ah, another newbie

: So, three existing streamers and two new ones, huh?

: Don\'t forget Kisaragi, that makes four streamers

: A CEO-streamer combo

: What a cute kid

: It\'s a guy, though

: That\'s what makes it good

: ♂!?!?

The last member is Kishiya Douman. His real name is Ashiya Shunta. At 23, he\'s close in age to Miyamoto-san. He originally aimed to be a full-time dungeon explorer, but ended up working part-time jobs to support himself while barely exploring dungeons. Honestly, it seemed like he was so weak that his time would be better spent just working instead of dungeon crawling.

But his combat style makes solo exploration difficult, so it couldn\'t be helped. Ideally, he should always be exploring with at least one or two other people.

I hired him simply because he\'s a good, earnest person with a unique and fascinating fighting style. Above all, his desperation to succeed as a low-level explorer showed real passion. He definitely has the potential to grow into a great dungeon explorer. Explore new worlds at мѵʟ

"So, from now on, I, Asagao-san, Kanacon-san, Douba Rin (Panda), Mimika-san, and Kishiya Douman-san will be the initial early bird dungeon streamers."

: Initial?

: Are you planning a second wave?

: He mentioned it before

: He said those who apply for the second wave better be ready to be dragged through hell

"Wait! Are we really going to be dragged through hell?"

"Come on, I told you I\'d train you until you\'re able to solo the lower floors. Exploring the lower floors is much tougher than you\'d imagine."

"That\'s true."

: Asagao agrees

: The voice of experience

: Asagao nodding hard, lol

: She\'s a beast in the lower floors now, but she almost died there a lot in the beginning

: Are the new recruits going to face the same fate?

: RIP newbies

"Yikes!"

"Bring it on!"

"I\'ll do my best, Kishiya Douman won\'t give up!"

"Why is Panda the only one acting hesitant? You\'re a senior, so show some confidence!"

Honestly, I\'m not too worried about Douba Rin (Panda).

Now that we\'ve finished introducing the streamers... my next stream will be as Kisaragi Tsukasa, representing early bird.
