Chapter 58

About a few hours before Sanraku started fighting the scorpion, which was around one or two hours after the slaughter demon was defeated, a video was posted on a certain video site. Here is the transcription:

P: "Hello, everyone! It's Payabusa here! And—!!"

G: "What's up, everyone! It's Garunose here!"

P: "Payagaru Channel! Today, we have something—!"

*Bang!*

G: "Yeah."

P: "Super—!"

*Bang, Bang!*

G: "Yeah."

P: "Super—!!!"

*Bang, Bang, Bang!*

G: "That's too much."

P: "Sorry, sorry... Super—!!!!"

*Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang!*

G: "You're overdoing it."

P: "Super—!!!!! We have a major announcement to make!!"

*Whirrr!*

G: "Well, Garunose already knows, since it's an announcement from the Payagaru Channel."

P: "So, before I make the announcement... Does everyone know about Shangri-La Frontier?!"

G: "Well, I think it's pretty rare for someone watching our channel not to know, since our main content is game playthroughs."

P: "But there are quite a few people who don't know that Shangri-La Frontier has recently allowed live streaming."

P: "Specifically, people like this one and that one."

G: "How is that specific?"

P: "Don't worry about the details! Anyway, quite a few people didn't know that even though you can post videos, you can now live stream as well, yes."

G: "So, since our main content is game playthroughs, we decided to start streaming Shangri-La Frontier as well."

P: "We've been playing other games, so our Shangri-La Frontier characters aren't very strong!!"

P: "We haven't even reached the New Continent yet!!"

G: "We don't even have the highest-level jobs."

*Chime...*

P: "So, we initially planned to stream our leveling up, but this time! Shangri-La Frontier, which rarely has clear event announcements, is hosting a major event!!"

G: "I think many people already know, but it's the Kingdom Chaos Scenario."

*What is the Kingdom Chaos Scenario? It's a massive PvP event where the current king, Alex, stages a coup against the former king, Turvante, leading to a tense standoff with the Third Rema! (Subtitle that hides Payabusa's face)*

G: "Yeah, I think the explanation just appeared there."

P: "The place you're pointing to is completely covering Payabusa's face, isn't it?"

G: "Well, video editing is Garunose's job."

P: "That's harsh, w."

P: "Anyway! This event, which clearly makes Alex look like the villain... This time, Payabusa and Garunose will join Alex's faction and live stream this major event!!"

Garunose: "And that's not all, we have two more big pieces of news!"

P: "This live stream! Including the preparation period, it's not just the Payagaru Channel, but—!"

P: "Surprisingly—!"

*Bang!*

G: "Yes."

P: "Surprisingly—!"

*Bang, Bang!*

G: "Yeah."

P: "We will be collaborating with some very famous streamers!!"

*Whirrr!*

G: "I think many of you are wondering who we will be collaborating with."

P: "That will be in the next announcement video—"

G: "No, no, no."

*Snap!*

P: "Just kidding, we'll announce it now!!"

G: "Oh."

P: "First, it's the 'GUN! GUN! Mercenary Corps'!!"

*Boom!*

G: "They mainly focus on FPS games, but they said they wouldn't play Shangri-La Frontier because there are no guns. However, since guns were officially discovered, they all started playing this time."

P: "But you can't get guns until you reach Leviathan. Will they be ready by the time the event starts? We, the Payagaru Channel, will be in trouble if they don't make it in time!!"

G: "This recording was made two days before the video was posted. The message they sent us said, 'We almost disbanded due to digging in the mud.'"

P: "I'm just worried."

G: "Let's move on to the next one. I'll make the announcement this time."

P: "I'll leave it to you, Garunose!"

G: "We've been friends for five years, but this is the first time you've called me 'Garunose-kun.'"

P: "Well, we usually call each other by our first names."

G: "So, let's get back on track... The professional gamer and popular streamer, 'Kaisoku Tokkyu Channel,' also known as Kaizaki Hayate!"

P: "A real pro gamer! A real fighting game pro! We sent a request on a whim, and surprisingly, he agreed!!"

G: "We sent the request based on the information from an interview where he said he plays Shangri-La Frontier, and surprisingly, he agreed."

P: "It must have been a coincidence, but he replied within three minutes. We didn't even notice it until the next day! Sorry, Kaizaki-san!"

G: "We were just sleeping soundly. Sorry."

*Seriously, sorry.*

P: "So, next! There's one more person we're collaborating with—"

G: "This is the last one."

P: "We received a response just ten minutes before we started recording! We sent the request yesterday, but why was it ignored for so long?!"

G: "Maybe it's our character?"

P: "Because that person had been streaming for 16 hours non-stop until three hours before we started filming!!"

*16 hours of endurance streaming.*

P: "So, the last one! From the 'All-Night Knight Channel,' it's All-Night Knight Karintou!!"

G: "And we received a message from them... 'Give me three hours of sleep, and I can fight for ten hours.'"

P: "Even for a short sleeper, that's impressive, isn't it?"

G: "Given the legend that she lost her boyfriend by making him join all-night gaming sessions, her determination is that of a true pro."

P: "Unfortunately, we need at least five hours of sleep, or it will be obvious the next day. We can't keep up! Sorry!!"

G: "I won't protect you if the All-Night Knights beat you up."

*All-Night Knights = Karintou's listeners.*

P: "Oh, we might need to level up in real life too?"

P: "Anyway! This is a stellar lineup, everyone. Isn't it amazing? Don't we look washed out in comparison?"

G: "Well, we'll be the organizers, so—"

P: "But there's more... I said there would be two big pieces of news, right?"

G: "Right, I did."

P: "So, let's have Garunose tell you everything!"

G: "So, in connection with this major event. In addition to our Payagaru Channel, these four channels will form a coalition clan, including a general recruitment drive!!"

*Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!*

P: "Well, Kaizaki-san is the only one at the top level, and it seems Karintou-san doesn't play Shangri-La Frontier much."

P: "It's clear that they're relying on their listeners."

G: "It's not just clear; it's embroidered on the flag they're waving, 'relying on others.'"

P: "But this is only for this event. The others don't necessarily have Shangri-La Frontier as their main focus."

P: "Of course, we'll have a grand party whether we win or lose."

G: "So, we'll be announcing the specific details gradually. If anyone is willing to lend us a hand for this event, we'd be grateful for your support!"

P: "We'd appreciate it if you could help us gather materials! We'll try not to be parasites, and even just watching from the sidelines would be great!!"

P: "That's all for this video. Thank you for watching this time!"

G: "Thank you very much!"

(ED music starts playing)

G: "By the way, what will the clan name be?"

P: "If we don't come up with a better name by tomorrow, it will be 'Alex Support Group,' as suggested by Kaizaki-san."

G: "Hmm..."
