I didn’t expect to cry from Hikaru.

I am also crying. Man, Hikaru is impressive. He really gave it his all…

-7: Anonymous from Earth

Uooooo! Hero!

-11: Anonymous from Earth

Getting the title of hero once you defeat a Demon Lord.

So the dark great mage has become the dark hero, huh.

-12: Anonymous from Earth

That was crazy.

In the end, they managed to finish this with only members of silver rank and below!

-15: Anonymous from Earth

Hikaru: “I will be going for a bit.”

Celica and Karen: “Don’t gooooooo!”

I laughed a bit at that.

-19: Anonymous from Earth

Hikaru: “Rifreya, can you go for one more round?”

Rifreya: “Yeah, if it is one more time…I think I can.”

Karen: “What exactly are they talking about again?”

I also like the simplicity of this one.

-21: Anonymous from Earth

Man, seeing the Demon Lord upclose is seriously crazy.

The recent CG of monsters has gotten pretty real, but a real one is seriously a whole other level.

Hikaru really has several screws loose being able to stand against it.

In other words, a hero…

Normally, you can’t just ‘go for a bit’.

We have fallen in love all over again as well.

Even if it was a difficult situation where they had to buy time, I didn’t expect them to actually finish it there.

But it is a shame with the Viewer Count Race.

He actually got 1st in the race after all.

I am impressed he managed to defeat it, seriously.

But that really was cool.

Being able to buy the scroll without any hesitation even when it meant forfeiting.

Being able to make that decision instantly even when he was 1st place really makes him our Onii-chan.

Hunting Horn Boy, lmao.

-63: Anonymous from Earth

Jojordan is for some reason trending like crazy among foreigners.

-65: Anonymous from Earth

Jordan is nice.

Even though he looks weak, that reaction speed in being able to block the fire from the Demon Lord with his ability was cool.

-69: Anonymous from Earth

There’s a part of me thinking that if he could have stopped the recklessness of Rifreya beforehand…

But asking that from a 15 year old boy is just too harsh.

-73: Anonymous from Earth

But because of that, he can’t revive Nanami-chan anymore…

Hikaru did his best for the sake of that…

-75: Anonymous from Earth

He decided for himself that he would be forfeiting, so he was making a refreshed face, right?

Even Celica and Karen said that trying to become 1st place in the race had become a form of shackles instead for his life in that world.

-80: Anonymous from Earth

A dark great mage and a hero. Most of all, his manliness for not hesitating at all when saving Rifreya-sama. Can’t help falling in love there.

-82: Anonymous from Earth

If he hadn’t forfeited, would he have gotten 1st place?

-84: Anonymous from Earth

In the Viewer Count Race? There were still 2 days left, but he had gotten 1st place in the Total Ranking, so if he had maintained 1st place the whole time, it would have been possible.

-87: Anonymous from Earth

So he can’t revive Nanami-chan, huh… He must be dismayed by this.

-90: Anonymous from Earth

Even Celica and Karen were speechless at that moment after all.

-93: Anonymous from Earth

It is not just the battle with the Demon Lord; it isn’t rare for an explorer to die at any moment if they continue with that line of work.

You could even say that it is the mistake of Hikaru for not readying the healing means beforehand.

It is basically a miracle that she was even saved.

If he hadn’t been a Chosen, she would have died 100% there.

-98: Anonymous from Earth

We know that!

We do, but we can’t help but say it!

The two of Twin/Sis did seem to have put quite a lot of money to support him after all…

This is not an issue about money.

Not about money.

No, money is important.

Twin/Sis are still middle schoolers!

Hikaru doesn’t even know about that either, so it can’t be helped.

Well, but with his comrade having been gravely injured and about to die, there was no other choice.

-133: Anonymous from Earth

That’s true, but when something like that suddenly happens, you would normally hesitate.

He was literally doing his best with his life on the line after all.

He risked his life countless times, and finally managed to stretch his hands into reach.

-138: Anonymous from Earth

He got 1st in the Total Rankings even when he was assuming all viewers hated him to death and was running solely with his emotions of wanting to revive Nanami-chan, you know?

There’s no way you can throw it all away so easily. Even if he let Rifreya-sama die there, him becoming 1st was almost assured at that point already.

-140: Anonymous from Earth

But a Demon Lord showing up really is quite the impossible game. How many died there…?

-142: Anonymous from Earth

Not leaving corpses is plain harsh.

-147: Anonymous from Earth

If you were to be exploring normally and ended up meeting and fighting the Demon Lord first, you would be completely done for.

No, your normal adventurer would have meat and smoke bombs to escape. That’s what Alex said.

You can’t escape from the Demon Lord!!

Well, it does look like it would chase after you.

-172: Anonymous from Earth

I don’t know if a Demon Lord battle is always like this or if it was just on this occasion, but I seriously thought ‘aren’t they a bit too nonchalant about this?’.

Guild-chan, do your damn job.

-178: Anonymous from Earth

The advance of the Demon Lord was probably way faster than what was estimated.

Demon Lords are like a natural phenomenon, so their tendencies have already been analyzed and countermeasures have already been created.

That’s why it just crumbles when it strays from that.

-182: Anonymous from Earth

It is their fault for using something like a hunting horn.

For signalling, you really have to go with gongs.

-189: Anonymous from Earth

Gong! Gong! Geh, Demon Lord!

-195: Anonymous from Earth

Well, maybe using both gongs and hunting horns. I feel like they could do a lot of things if they were to bring drums.

-200: Anonymous from Earth

It is like the construction works in the long past. They probably just think of people dying as the nature of the profession.

-206: Anonymous from Earth

According to what the Chosen in Alismaris have investigated:

?Demon Lords get stronger as they go up, and the longer it takes, the stronger that growth is.

?Each time they go up a floor, they get one chaotic trait, and their rank as a Demon Lord increases.

?If the Demon Lord comes outside, the chaotic element spreads around and it turns into Hell.

?They normally get killed by Great Spirits before that happens, but in such cases, the dungeon collapses.

That’s basically the gist of it.

-210: Anonymous from Earth

Anyways, it means that it is different from your normal monster.

-214: Anonymous from Earth

Don’t the Divine Beasts or whatever defeat the Demon Lords?

It ain’t time to be giving presents to explorers, right?

-222: Anonymous from Earth

There seems to not be much known about Divine Beasts.

They are apparently crazy strong, so they probably can defeat a Demon Lord if they were to fight.

-224: Anonymous from Earth

It is because Jordan kicked the hunting horn…

Those kinds of accidents or irregularities happen normally.

You gotta report it and make countermeasures for them.

-236: Anonymous from Earth

They do seem negligent compared to Alimari.

Don’t guilds communicate with each other in these regards?

-243: Anonymous from Earth

It is a foreign country divided by the sea after all…

There’s apparently engineer-like people that draw up dungeons.

They probably don’t do much guiding in the ways to manage them though.

-248: Anonymous from Earth

Alimari is so strong that there’s no need to go through the trouble of dividing them between a strong team and weak team. That’s how strong their parties are there.

Meltia has to put more effort in raising their newbies.

Or more like, the configuration of the dungeon is bad.

The 2nd Floor and 4th Floor are not suitable for hunting, and there’s a lot who are only specialized in the 3rd Floor.

And the result of that is this.

-255: Anonymous from Earth

Well, they have managed to do fine with this way of doing things.

The style of defeating it with the strong parties can manage to defeat it fast without any deaths if the rug isn’t pulled on them after all.

-259: Anonymous from Earth

I do feel like they simply took the choice of high risk high return…

-266: Anonymous from Earth

High risks are not noticed in the time when things go well.

It is human to feel things are just easy.

It really should be a gong, or a chime would be nice too.

Let’s send that message to Hikaru.

Hikaru doesn’t read them…

Alex got intimidated by being told ‘deaths always happen in Demon Lord subjugations’.

There’s probably deaths actually showing up every time.

And the guild isn’t too bothered by that.

-293: Anonymous from Earth

The guild is fine with anything as long as the Demon Lord is defeated after all.

-300: Anonymous from Earth

Silver ranks are basically on the 4th place from the top and are simply on the level of ‘competent enough’.

Putting it in gaming perspective, it would be around the stage where you can finally buy an iron sword.

In other words, people you can replace as much as you want…

-308: Anonymous from Earth

Life isn’t endless!

-314: Anonymous from Earth

They become stones when they die, so there’s probably a lack of reality to their deaths.

-317: Anonymous from Earth

Anyways, Hikaru did well.

He was simply a fresh explorer and a bronze rank porter after all.

-321: Anonymous from Earth

Silver rank is a rank where there’s a lot of difference in power among it.

Even Rifreya-sama is a silver rank, and the weakling party that got defeated instantly was also silver rank.

-330: Anonymous from Earth

Rifreya also was on the verge of dying with just one hit of the Demon Lord.

-333: Anonymous from Earth

I always end up speaking things from a viewer point of view like ‘if only Hikaru would have done this…’.

The best move on defined scenarios can only be spoken about here because we are watching from the outside, and it isn’t so simple as just doing it because they have been told to.

Messages apparently reached Alex, but he didn’t have any leeway to read them.

Even if he did, there would be no hardships in this world if you could solve things that way.

-339: Anonymous from Earth

If I had been actually there in flesh and bones, I would have been blowing the horn while crying.

I would also be cast as the hunting horn boy.

No, I was already filled to the brim with desperation while watching in real time.

But now that I think back on it, that sight was strangely comical.

The magic cannon of Rifreya-sama was crazy powerful.

It is light, so maybe it is practically like a neutral element attack? Light and darkness really are special elements?

They might be. I do feel Light Spirit Abilities are a bit OP with them having both healing abilities and attack abilities of high caliber in their repertoire.

The truth of that parallel world has been enquired a whole ton already in other places, so there’s no point in speaking about it in detail here, but there’s apparently no doubt that it has some sort of connection to Earth in some way.

It is a world created by God, so isn’t it just that the small details are the same? It is totally a fantasy world after all.

It is true that it is such a fantasy world that it even feels silly to theorize about it…

It is an isekai fantasy to the point that Marchosias has shown up.

It may be called a Demon Lord, but until it actually comes out from the dungeon, it is still a being that is on the way to becoming a Demon Lord. It is when it comes out from the dungeon that it gets the Lord Class Demon Lord.

-527: Anonymous from Earth

That it was appraised as a viscount while still in the 4th Floor state means that in the 3rd Floor it was a count, 2nd Floor a marquis, 1st Floor a duke, and once it comes to the outside, it is lord class, right?

-530: Anonymous from Earth

Most likely -if we go by the Monster Appraisal.

Lord Class has a weird ring to it.

A Great Demon Lord has apparently shown up before after all. That must be the king of kings. I don’t know if it is a sovereign or an emperor or whatever though.

-540: Anonymous from Earth

Even so, didn’t it come way too fast to the 3rd Floor? Shouldn’t it have taken more time for it to come up?

-547: Anonymous from Earth

It depends on the type of Demon Lord. There’s the slime type that are super slow, moreover, camouflage on the walls which has shown before (in Alismaris).

This time it was a wolf type, so it must have been fast.

You could even say they are intelligent for treasuring their lives?

It is a subjugation organized by the guild, so the things that didn’t go well are all the fault of the guild.

They should at least place a commander on site or something.

This does look like a matter that the guild should have led properly using their influential power, but Demon Lords are originally things that explorers should be defeating themselves.

So Hikaru couldn’t do it, huh. But not being able to revive the dead is a natural thing, and reviving them goes against the laws of nature. It is a good thing that he didn’t make his childhood friend into a being close to a God.

It is a shame what happened with the Viewer Count Race, but the reason why we were supporting Onii-chan was so that he didn’t push himself too much… The fact that he actually managed to get 1st place definitely served in reducing his recklessness.”

Karen: “That’s right-nii~. I do want Nanamin to come back to life, but the one we think the most of is Onii.”
