Chapter 4

『Roar...』

The Tyrant Dragon fills its mouth with flames.

The firepower of its breath is terrifying. If I were to get hit, I would be completely incinerated, leaving not even ashes.

To prevent that, I sheathe my sword and get into a stance to face the Tyrant Dragon.

"What is he doing!?"

"Run for it!"

"He's gonna die!"

"Ho, is that iaido? Impressive."

"Your opponent is the Tyrant Dragon!?"

In the next moment, the Tyrant Dragon releases the flames it has gathered.

The massive flames spread across my field of vision. I swing my sword with all my might towards them.

A shockwave is released from the sword, cutting the Tyrant Dragon's flames in half. The shockwave then slices through the Tyrant Dragon's tough scales, killing it instantly.

"H-Huh!?"

"Do modern swords really emit shockwaves!?"

"No way!"

"More importantly, it's crazy that the Tyrant Dragon was taken down in one hit!"

"Please tell me this is a staged video..."

"Someone, find out who this salaryman is!"

"Corporate warriors are really strong (stunned)"

"Awesomeeeeee!"

『Grr...』

When the Tyrant Dragon falls, the other monsters stop their attacks and start to back away from me.

It seems the Tyrant Dragon was their leader. With the leader defeated, they have lost the will to fight.

Even if I defeat them, the materials will be taken by the company. I've already met my quota, so there's no reason for me to fight any further.

"Go. I'll let you off."

As I say this and sheathe my sword, the monsters start to flee.

Phew... It ended faster than I thought. I'll quickly gather the materials from the quota of monsters and head back.

"First, I'll check the time."

I open my smartphone to check the current time.

But at that moment, I see something impossible.

"Huh? 9999 notifications?"

My phone's notifications were filled.

I did receive calls frequently, but 9999 is clearly abnormal.

I quickly operate my phone to check the content of the notifications.

They were all filled with notifications saying, "Received a comment 'XXXX' on DTube!" I'm confused and in a state of shock.

"Why are there DTube notifications... and why are there so many comments on my video!?"

When I open the DTube screen, comments are streaming rapidly next to the video of me.

I don't understand what's happening. What's going on!?

"Wait, hold on! I'm sure I set the broadcast to be viewable only by the company... it's not."

I realize the setting mistake, and my blood runs cold.

No way! So everything I've done so far has been broadcast nationwide!

"But... my dungeon stream shouldn't have that many viewers, right?"

Praying, I check the number of viewers on the video.

The number that appeared was shocking.

"100 million concurrent viewers...!?"

The unprecedented number makes me feel like I'm about to faint.

I understand that the company account has around 2,000 subscribers, so if they all came, it would make sense.

But in reality, it was far beyond that.

Even famous streamers rarely get 1 million concurrent viewers. 100 million...?

"Hey, you finally noticed!"

"Watching here!"

"You were awesome!"

"Starting work now... lol"

"Really awesome! Can you tell me your name?"

"The hashtag 'CorporateSwordSaint' is trending on social media!"

"Will you join our guild?"

"How did you get so strong!?"

I stare blankly at the rapidly streaming comments.

This can't be covered up. No matter what I say now, the situation won't be resolved.

As my consciousness fades, I recall the most troublesome thing and mutter,

"Sigh... I guess I'll have to write a report..."
