2 Future Awakened
>1 Thanks for the thread, OP.
3 Future Awakened
Lately, I find myself getting bored so quickly whenever I watch other parties' dungeon streams...
4 Future Awakened
>3 ikr
5 Future Awakened
>3 Same here
6 Future Awakened
>3 Same
7 Future Awakened
>3 bald agree
8 Future Awakened
I'm already just rewatching SS's videos on loop.
9 Future Awakened
>8 Me too
10 Future Awakened
>8 comrade
11 Future Awakened
>8 everyone's doing the same thing huh
12 Future Awakened
It's all SS's fault! I can't be satisfied with normal videos anymore! As an apology, upload new ones!
13 Future Awakened
Hey, a new video got uploaded to SS's homepage!
14 Future Awakened
>13 Whoa! What timing! Going to check it out!
15 Future Awakened
>13 Thanks for the heads up! Everyone, charge!
16 Future Awakened
>13 Yay! Going to watch!
17 Future Awakened
Two E-rank old dudes? Who's this for?
18 Future Awakened
SS, why this pick?
19 Future Awakened
Kinda feels like a letdown?
20 Future Awakened
>19 Well, let's watch it first.
21 Future Awakened
These old guys might actually be kinda cool and charming.
22 Future Awakened
They've got that veteran explorer vibe, honestly kinda my thing.
23 Future Awakened
>20 Will do.
24 Future Awakened
Man, you can still be an explorer even at their age?
25 Future Awakened
The damaged armor and worn-out weapons... thinking about how they're proof of all the battles these guys have fought against monsters, it kinda makes me want to cry.
26 Future Awakened
So their target is the floor 10 boss.
27 Future Awakened
>26 Is that gonna be pretty rough?
28 Future Awakened
His daughter begged him to do it, or his wife is a fan—cute!
29 Future Awakened
>24 If they're E-rank, they've probably leveled up a decent amount. That means their physical abilities have improved, so they can probably still go strong.
30 Future Awakened
>27 I believe the floor 10 boss here is a Persistent Hound at E+ rank. Two E-ranks might have a tough time with that.
31 Future Awakened
>27 Two people would make it tough. But if SS supports them, who knows.
32 Future Awakened
>31 ikr
33 Future Awakened
Oh, two Crowcats. Wonder how they'll fight?
34 Future Awakened
Crowcats, huh. Against F-ranks they should handle them easily.
35 Future Awakened
Even among E-rank explorers, there's a range in strength. They look like veterans, so maybe they'll surprise us?
36 Future Awakened
Whoa, the mace guy is completely reading all their movements!
37 Future Awakened
Whoa! Brutal!
38 Future Awakened
The spear guy's support is flawless too!
39 Future Awakened
Their teamwork is solid!
40 Future Awakened
My my, wouldn't you say these are upper-tier E-ranks?
41 Future Awakened
The old guys are cool!
42 Future Awakened
Now THIS is what a veteran looks like!
43 Future Awakened
Sure enough, experience really does bring a whole different level of stability.
44 Future Awakened
>43 Feels reassuring to watch!
45 Future Awakened
Close-range mace and mid-range spear, huh. They've got their roles clearly divided.
46 Future Awakened
>45 If they had ranged attacks too, it'd be perfect.
47 Future Awakened
>46 I guess it doesn't always work out that perfectly.
48 Future Awakened
Still, they're walking without any hesitation. Looks like a path they know well.
49 Future Awakened
It's impressive how they're covering each other's blind spots while staying on guard.
50 Future Awakened
>49 Isn't that just basic?
51 Future Awakened
>50 It's actually surprisingly hard. Especially with only two people.
52 Future Awakened
These two didn't ask SS-san for scouting, huh.
53 Future Awakened
>51 I see.
54 Future Awakened
>52 True.
55 Future Awakened
I mean, they are E-rank. They've gotta have some pride.
56 Future Awakened
Fair enough.
・ ・ ・
182 Future Awakened
Already floor 6? That's pretty fast.
183 Future Awakened
Without editing, it's about four hours, huh.
184 Future Awakened
Having the time display is quietly appreciated.
185 Future Awakened
Oh, it's mealtime.
186 Future Awakened
Rice balls made by his daughter!
187 Future Awakened
His daughter's rice balls!
188 Future Awakened
A tough-looking old guy smiling is kinda adorable.
189 Future Awakened
More pickled veggies than usual lol
190 Future Awakened
Wait, his wife doesn't normally support him?!
191 Future Awakened
>190 Even though he's earning money and got tax exemption.
192 Future Awakened
>190 Probably because he could die at any time.
193 Future Awakened
>192 So that's it... I didn't understand a woman's heart.
194 Future Awakened
>193 Same here...
195 Future Awakened
E-ranks will start showing up from here. It probably won't go as smoothly as before.
196 Future Awakened
E-rank vs E-rank, huh. Depending on the numbers, it could get dicey.
197 Future Awakened
Though they've got the boss fight ahead, so they'll probably avoid combat as much as possible.
198 Future Awakened
>197 ikr
199 Future Awakened
They keep stopping sometimes—what are they doing?
200 Future Awakened
Are they... looking at the ground?
201 Future Awakened
>199 Probably searching for monster tracks.
202 Future Awakened
>199 Maybe checking for signs of monsters passing through?
203 Future Awakened
>201, 202 Thanks! This is really educational!
204 Future Awakened
They're checking all sorts of things. They're probably paying attention to sounds and smells too.
205 Future Awakened
Like a hunter in a forest.
206 Future Awakened
Finding myself genuinely impressed that not fighting in a dungeon is even an option.
207 Future Awakened
Wouldn't this be super helpful if your teammate got injured and you wanted to avoid fighting?
208 Future Awakened
They're really paying attention to the details. Or rather, it's impressive that it's filmed in a way that makes it all understandable.
209 Future Awakened
>207 Thinking about it that way, this stream could be great educational material.
210 Future Awakened
>208 It's also great that these two are freely sharing techniques they learned through years of experience.
211 Future Awakened
>210 No doubt about that. It'd be great if this reduces accident rates even a little.
212 Future Awakened
Sorry I said "who's this for" before watching. This is seriously entertaining.
213 Future Awakened
SS's streams never miss.
214 Future Awakened
>213 Have a cookie!
215 Future Awakened
>213 No doubt.
216 Future Awakened
>212 Tough break! But it's impressive you can apologize honestly!
217 Future Awakened
A Clever Fox. What a sly fox!
218 Future Awakened
Two E-rank Clever Foxes, huh. Same rank means two-on-two is gonna be rough.
219 Future Awakened
Hmm, they're steadily whittling them down without overextending.
220 Future Awakened
Nothing flashy, but rock solid.
221 Future Awakened
The old guys are doing great!
222 Future Awakened
For real, these are upper E-rank.
223 Future Awakened
"Indomitable"—that's their party name? I searched but couldn't find anything.
224 Future Awakened
They're on the older side, so they probably don't do any streaming.
225 Future Awakened
>224 No way... actually plausible
226 Future Awakened
Indomitable, huh... I think I might've become a fan.
227 Future Awakened
>226 I get it.
228 Future Awakened
They took them down without breaking a sweat. They might actually pull off the boss fight too.
229 Future Awakened
Good luck on the boss fight!
・ ・ ・
401 Future Awakened
Finally arrived. Their stamina... looks like it's still okay.
402 Future Awakened
Boss fight... my heart's racing.
403 Future Awakened
I'm already totally a fan of these two. Hope they do well.
404 Future Awakened
Go, old guys, go!
405 Future Awakened
Huh, doesn't that mean the drone is also in the boss's line of sight?
406 Future Awakened
>405 That's unusual. SS usually helps out by surprise.
407 Future Awakened
One Persistent Hound! No dungeon error!
408 Future Awakened
>405 Maybe it's on purpose. So the boss keeps the drone in mind too.
409 Future Awakened
>407 Now that you mention it, SS's footage seems to have a lot of dungeon errors and rare spawns.
410 Future Awakened
>408 That's it!
411 Future Awakened
>408 Oh, I see. Making it easier for the two of them to fight from the start! Makes sense!
412 Future Awakened
>408 Smart!
413 Future Awakened
A view from directly above—that's fresh!
414 Future Awakened
Makes it easy to see how they coordinate front to back.
415 Future Awakened
So that's how they were moving in the back. Super educational.
416 Future Awakened
But everything's getting dodged.
417 Future Awakened
>416 The Persistent Hound is E+ rank, after all.
418 Future Awakened
Looking a bit rough...
419 Future Awakened
The hound seems pretty relaxed.
420 Future Awakened
>419 Oh, you mean the Persistent Hound.
421 Future Awakened
Seems like they're waiting for an opening to counterattack.
423 Future Awakened
Ah, did they get hit!?
424 Future Awakened
The leg is in trouble!
425 Future Awakened
That looks painful...
426 Future Awakened
Nice one, Genji-san!
427 Future Awakened
But one-on-one...
428 Future Awakened
Oh no, dangerous.
429 Future Awakened
Was that a surprise!?
430 Future Awakened
What was that voice just now!?
431 Future Awakened
Oh, the Persistent Hound went sideways...
432 Future Awakened
It was over in a flash.
433 Future Awakened
Could someone explain what happened...?
434 Future Awakened
What happened?
435 Future Awakened
>433 Looks like right when the hound was about to pounce, SS moved in close and shouted. The hound mistook it for an attack and dodged sideways. Genji-san immediately thrust his spear into it. That's what I think happened.
436 Future Awakened
>435 That's what it looked like to me too.
437 Future Awakened
Whoa~, you figured that out from such a brief moment. Are you an explorer?
438 Future Awakened
>437 You shouldn't be asking that here.
439 Future Awakened
>438 Ah, sorry about that...
440 Future Awakened
The mace guy is safe too. Thank goodness.
441 Future Awakened
In the end, SS snatched the best part again.
442 Future Awakened
No doubt!
443 Future Awakened
SS's situational awareness is something else.
444 Future Awakened
>443 ikr
445 Future Awakened
Honestly, without SS, wouldn't they have been done for?
446 Future Awakened
>445 They totally would've been.
447 Future Awakened
>445 Actually plausible
448 Future Awakened
So basically, if you get SS to film you, you can take on opponents a rank above you.
449 Future Awakened
>448 I don't think it's that simple, but so far the results do seem to back that up.
450 Future Awakened
>448 Relying on it too much is dangerous, but as insurance in a pinch, it's super reassuring.
451 Future Awakened
From what we've seen, it doesn't look like drones can kill monsters, but they could probably distract them or act as decoys. If so, even in the worst case where you can't win, they could at least buy you time to escape.
452 Future Awakened
>451 True.
453 Future Awakened
>451 Just being able to do that would shoot up survival rates.
454 Future Awakened
Either way, requests to SS are definitely going to keep flooding in.
455 Future Awakened
The old guys look so happy.
456 Future Awakened
Growing old like this isn't a bad way to go.
457 Future Awakened
>456 Not bad? It's the best.
458 Future Awakened
>457 Agreed.
459 Future Awakened
His wife and daughter are the happiest ones!
460 Future Awakened
>459 No doubt lol
461 Future Awakened
But was it really okay to upload all of this?
462 Future Awakened
>461 What do you mean?
463 Future Awakened
>462 These two probably spent a long time trial-and-erroring to learn their coordination and exploration techniques, right? I'm wondering if it's really okay to share all that for free.
464 Future Awakened
>463 Now that you mention it, yeah.
465 Future Awakened
Oh, I'm watching that exact part right now.
466 Future Awakened
They said to upload everything for the sake of rookie explorers—that's so generous!
467 Future Awakened
These old guys are so cool...
468 Future Awakened
Dammit, guess I'm a fan now!
469 Future Awakened
SS thanked them too. That humility just makes me like him even more.
470 Future Awakened
>469 I was thinking the same thing.
471 Future Awakened
Looks like SS's popularity isn't dying down anytime soon.
472 Future Awakened
Wish they'd upload the next video already.
473 Future Awakened
>472 I get the feeling, but don't rush them!
474 Future Awakened
>472 I feel you!
475 Future Awakened
>472 Let's just wait patiently.
476 Future Awakened
>475 Yes!

999 Future Awakened
This drone's performance has improved. It's clearly different from the standard one, so it might have a level system or something. If it levels up more and gains attack capabilities... I wouldn't recommend making an enemy of SS-san.
Also, this is completely irrelevant, but posts 225 and 447 seem to be the same person. I also wouldn't recommend reusing a joke that got ignored the first time around with a slightly different wording.
