Chapter 108: SS Thread ③
[Discussion Board for Information Exchange About the Trending Cameraman "SS"]
1 Future Awakened
This is a thread for exchanging information about the dungeon cameraman "SS." Naturally, please refrain from slander or statements that attack individuals. Also, any attempts to investigate his identity will be reported.
2 Future Awakened
>1 Thanks for making the thread again
3 Future Awakened
>1 Thanks as always!
4 Future Awakened
Oh, SS-san has started his patrol rounds
5 Future Awakened
>4 It was on his homepage
6 Future Awakened
>4 I think there's a limit to what one person can do, but better than nothing, right
7 Future Awakened
>6 True enough. SS-san's already made tons of money, so he doesn't really need to do this sort of thing
8 Future Awakened
>7 Come to think of it, yeah
9 Future Awakened
Virtue signaling...
10 Future Awakened
That's admirable
11 Future Awakened
>9 Whether it's virtue signaling or whatever, better than not doing it at all
12 Future Awakened
>9 Then you do it
13 Future Awakened
Huh, so he's selling potions too
14 Future Awakened
The price is 10% above retail... isn't that cheap?
15 Future Awakened
It is cheap. For reference, the vending machines at Mount Fuji are 3x retail
16 Future Awakened
>15 Seriously!? Mount Fuji is expensive!
17 Future Awakened
>16 Yes, Mount Fuji is 3,776 meters tall, you see
18 Future Awakened
If you run out on-site, that's a lifesaver <about potions
19 Future Awakened
There's no potion shop nearby, so factoring in travel costs, buying from SS-san is actually cheaper
20 Future Awakened
But 10% extra means 1,000 yen for low-grade potions, but 100,000 yen extra for mid-grade
21 Future Awakened
>20 If you can afford mid-grade potions, isn't that just rounding error?
22 Future Awakened
>21 No doubt

170 Future Explorer
Hm? Something's happening on Dansoku
171 Future Explorer
>170 What's Dansoku?
172 Future Explorer
>171 Dungeon Breaking News Board
173 Future Explorer
>171 It's short for Dungeon Breaking News Board
174 Future Explorer
>170 What happened?
175 Future Explorer
Hmm, there's a post saying an Alteration occurred at Inubosaki Tower Dungeon
176 Future Explorer
Alteration? Seriously?
177 Future Explorer
Guess I'll check Dansoku
178 Future Explorer
So does that mean it's overflowing? That's bad, isn't it?
179 Future Explorer
For all that, it's not on the news though
180 Future Explorer
I checked. There's definitely a post about an Alteration
181 Future Explorer
>178 Apparently there's no overflow...
182 Future Explorer
>181 What do you mean?
183 Future Explorer
>181 But if there's no overflow, how did they know it was an Alteration?
184 Future Explorer
>183 ikr
185 Future Explorer
>183 Was someone conveniently near a Transfer Stone?
186 Future Explorer
>185 Would anyone actually be that conveniently placed?
187 Future Explorer
Inubosaki Tower Dungeon has been closed, and explorers are returning one after another
188 Future Explorer
>187 So it wasn't a troll?
189 Future Explorer
Seems like a troll?
190 Future Explorer
Today isn't April 1st, right?
191 Future Explorer
If it's a troll, that's in poor taste
192 Future Explorer
>191 Alterations have lots of victims. This isn't a joke
193 Future Explorer
>189 If it's fake, I won't forgive them
194 Future Explorer
Is there no possibility it's real?
195 Future Explorer
>194 It's not zero
196 Future Explorer
Any locals here?
197 Future Explorer
>196 The person posting on Dansoku claims to be a local...
198 Future Explorer
I just checked, doesn't it seem legit?
199 Future Awakened
Whoa, seriously!? The Dungeon Agency made an announcement!? Alteration at Inubosaki!
200 Future Awakened
Alteration occurred at Inubosaki Tower!
201 Future Awakened
Huh!? It was real!? My acquaintance should be diving at Inubosaki right now!?
202 Future Awakened
>201 That's...
203 Future Awakened
>201 Praying for their safety
204 Future Awakened
>201 It's harsh, but I'm hoping they're okay
205 Future Awakened
>201 If what was said earlier is true, they might be coming back?
206 Future Awakened
Seriously, so it wasn't a troll
207 Future Awakened
I'm at the Inubosaki Tower Dungeon entrance right now. The Dungeon Agency has sealed the entrance
208 Future Awakened
Local is here
209 Future Awakened
>207 There's no overflow, right?
210 Future Awakened
>209 Correct, there is no overflow
211 Future Awakened
>210 Then how does the Dungeon Agency know it's an Alteration?
212 Future Awakened
>211 I don't know!
213 Future Awakened
That's refreshingly honest
214 Future Awakened
But if they're actually sealing it, doesn't that mean an Alteration is happening? I wouldn't know though
215 Future Awakened
Could it be SS's intel?
216 Future Awakened
>215 !? That's it! That's possible!
217 Future Awakened
>215 Are you a genius!?
218 Future Awakened
If this is true, isn't this the first time an Alteration was detected before overflow?
219 Future Awakened
>218 There were one or two cases where someone happened to be near a Transfer Stone and escaped to report it
220 Future Awakened
>219 But most explorers inside couldn't be saved, right?
221 Future Awakened
>220 Well, there was no way to contact them
222 Future Awakened
Oh, additional info is up on the Dungeon Agency homepage!
223 Future Awakened
Announcement from the Dungeon Agency
224 Future Awakened
They're putting out requests to high-rank explorers
225 Future Awakened
High-rank explorers?
226 Future Awakened
Ah, for rescuing explorers on shallower floors
227 Future Awakened
>226 That too, but maybe overflow countermeasures
228 Future Awakened
>227 Possible. If they reduce monsters first, they might manage even if the monsters rank up
229 Future Awakened
Doesn't it feel like they're taking the initiative this time, even though nothing could be done about Alterations before?
230 Future Awakened
>229 ikr
231 Future Awakened
>229 Definitely. So it really is intel from SS?
232 Future Awakened
Breaking news: SS's drone spotted at Inubosaki Tower Dungeon
233 Future Awakened
It's here!
234 Future Awakened
As expected!
235 Future Awakened
He did it again!?
236 Future Awakened
This is 199. Right now, several parties of explorers are coming out of the Inubosaki Tower Dungeon entrance!
237 Future Awakened
Wow! He's really doing it!
238 Future Awakened
This is 201, is it okay to hope?
239 Future Awakened
>238 Normally they wouldn't make it, but this time there might be hope
240 Future Awakened
>239 Stop getting people's hopes up, it'll be more disappointing if it doesn't work out
241 Future Awakened
>238 I hope they're safe!
242 Future Awakened
>240 I don't know if that's fair or not, but it doesn't feel good to watch
243 Future Awakened
>240 You're the one who should stop spreading anxiety
244 Future Awakened
A high-rank explorer party just went in. They must have been nearby
245 Future Awakened
Alterations spread from deeper floors, right? So there's a chance to escape from shallower floors?
246 Future Awakened
>245 If you notice before it starts
247 Future Awakened
>245 Normally you don't notice until it reaches the floor you're on. By the time you notice, the monsters have ranked up and escaping becomes difficult
248 Future Awakened
Oh, another high-rank explorer party just went in
249 Future Awakened
All we can do is pray, but I hope everyone stays safe
250 Future Awakened
I'll pray too...
251 Future Awakened
I will pray as well

543 Future Awakened
This is 199. Explorers are coming out of the entrance one after another now! They seem to be the ones who were on shallower floors!
544 Future Awakened
>543 Overflow?
545 Future Awakened
This is a pretty huge number of explorers being saved, isn't it?
546 Future Awakened
Unthinkable compared to past Alterations
547 Future Awakened
>544 None so far
548 Future Awakened
I have a feeling something amazing is about to happen
549 Future Awakened
The damage might be pretty low?
550 Future Awakened
Seems like it's on the news overseas too
551 Future Awakened
>550 Of course it would be. Alterations get a lot of attention
552 Future Awakened
>551 No, they're saying Japan has technology to detect it in advance or something
553 Future Awakened
Hey, SS isn't going to get scouted by foreign countries, right? He's Japan's treasure, you know?
554 Future Awakened
Overseas information is really fast too?
555 Future Awakened
>554 Now that you mention it, I feel like there's been a lot more foreigners at dungeon entrances
556 Future Awakened
>555 Oh, I was thinking the same thing
557 Future Awakened
Seriously, isn't SS-san being targeted from overseas too?
558 Future Awakened
>557 ikr
559 Future Awakened
>557 SS-san's videos are popular overseas too, I hear
560 Future Awakened
>553 Treasure lol
561 Future Awakened
SS is partnered with the Dungeon Agency, right? So he won't go overseas, right?
562 Future Awakened
>561 I want to believe that
563 Future Awakened
>561 The Dungeon Agency is fine, but the government is pretty stingy...
564 Future Awakened
>563 True that
565 Future Awakened
Please stay in Japan! I'm rooting for you!
566 Future Awakened
I'm rooting for you too!

798 Future Awakened
It's on the news
799 Future Awakened
Alteration news
800 Future Awakened
Announcement from the Dungeon Agency
801 Future Awakened
Whoa!? It really was SS! He did it!
802 Future Awakened
Fifty-seven parties saved!? No overflow is insane!!
803 Future Awakened
AMAZIIIIING! Fifty-seven parties saved!? Isn't that a historic achievement!?
804 Future Awakened
This is 201! Got word! My acquaintance's party was saved too!
805 Future Awakened
Whoa, I'm getting goosebumps
806 Future Awakened
This is basically a miracle! SS's glorious trail!
807 Future Awakened
No wonder overseas people are paying attention!
808 Future Awakened
Alteration with no overflow is apparently a world first!
809 Future Awakened
It's trending instantly
810 Future Awakened
But three parties weren't saved. If you're going to do it, save everyone
811 Future Awakened
SS is amazing
812 Future Awakened
SS is the best!
813 Future Awakened
>810 Here comes the hater. Hasn't done anything but sure has complaints
814 Future Awakened
>810 How unpleasant
815 Future Awakened
>810 He saved fifty-seven parties? Could you have saved them all?
816 Future Awakened
Would you all say the same thing if you were the families of those who died? My child wasn't saved, but thank you for saving the others
817 Future Awakened
>816 It's not SS's fault they weren't saved. In the first place, they became explorers knowing the risks. If you didn't want that, you shouldn't have let them become explorers
818 Future Awakened
>816 There it is. Haters appearing everywhere as usual
819 Future Awakened
>816 That's what we call "barking up the wrong tree." Learn something new?
820 Future Awakened
>816 Normal fatality rate is nearly 100%. This time it's 5%. Go ahead, tell me who that's thanks to
821 Future Awakened
OK, everyone calm down. Ignore the haters and let's celebrate this achievement!
822 Future Awakened
Right, right. My condolences to those who passed away. But I respect SS-san for minimizing the damage!
823 Future Awakened
Exactly, long live SS!
824 Future Awakened
Thank you for saving my husband
825 Future Awakened
My acquaintance was incredibly grateful! Thank you, SS-san!
826 Future Awakened
Japan's treasure!

SS-san came through. Using two drones, he saved twelve parties from the lower to middle floors. The skill to operate two drones simultaneously is impressive, but there seems to be something more than just that.
That said, 9, 560, 810, 816... oops, everyone except 560 was the same person. Your identity is known, so please be prepared for physical rather than social consequences. This is not a threat, you know? Skills are scary things.
Also, 806. Last time's "Ultra Ariel" gets 5 points, but this time it's 40 points. It's improved, but let's strive for more progress.
