The 'Strongest Onee-sama' Trending on Streams Is Actually a Man ~ Hiding My Gender and Diving Solo in a World with a Broken Gender Ratio, I Got Identified from a Rescue Stream, and Now Everyone Around Me Is Suspiciously Noisy ~

by Kawaiwa Masayoshi

A fancy restaurant? Marrying into money? — All I want is to go dungeon diving again today. "Because if it gets out that I'm a man, I'd get snapped up and kept cooped up — no more diving whenever I want, you know?" A modern dungeon world with a gender ratio of one to five. Men are rare, and it's taken for granted that women protect and provide for them. Fukazumi Iori, a young man transferred here a year and a half ago, searches for clues back to his old world while enjoying carefree solo dives on a dead channel with two viewers, his gender kept under wraps. But one day, that quiet life starts to fall apart when he rescues Tsukishiro Saya — a popular ojou-sama streamer cut off from her party — using chantless magic and swordplay. The old-model body camera on his chest, caught on the rescue stream, allowed the denizens of a message board to track down his barely-watched channel. And thanks to his androgynous features, not a single one of them suspects he's a man. Utterly unmoved by the thank-you invitation to a fancy restaurant or the public uproar over his solo run through the dungeon's deepest floor, Iori keeps diving at his own pace while the comment section goes absolutely wild. The ojou-sama he saved idolizes him fanatically, and before long, even Kirise Fumino — the junior assigned to him for newcomer training — starts aiming heavy, straight-ahead feelings his way. No matter how much the heat around him swells, the man himself is, today as ever, too busy thinking about his next dungeon. *No crossdressing or gender-swap (TS) elements. The protagonist just dives normally — everyone around him assumes he's a woman all on their own, thanks to his androgynous features and their own preconceptions.
