Episode 3: The Forum Thread, Part 1

【Bad News】Nuisance streamer Puke, a.k.a. Kagerou, finally crosses the line

1 Passing-by Anon

That guy's actually insane.

2 Passing-by Anon

What'd that puke do this time?

3 Passing-by Anon

Did, nothing yet. More like "about to."

4 Passing-by Anon

He's running a live stream right now called "I Tried Blowing Up a Lower-Layer Dungeon Wall with a Blast Stone"

5 Passing-by Anon

Huh?

6 Passing-by Anon

Blast stone—you mean the stuff with insane firepower that gives off a smell that draws in monsters and sends them berserk as a trade-off?

7 Passing-by Anon

Yep. The stuff the government's put out warnings about

8 Passing-by Anon

Wasn't using it outside a boss room supposed to carry harsh penalties?

9 Passing-by Anon

Nah, right now it's just advisories—there's no penalty clause yet Basically a "beat the legislation to it" kind of thing, no?

10 Passing-by Anon

Even if barely anyone's in the lower layers, this is beyond the pale

11 Passing-by Anon

He's seriously too far gone. Surely he gets arrested this time?

12 Passing-by Anon

No way, no way. Like it says above, it's not actually illegal yet Morally it's a hundred percent out of bounds, though

13 Passing-by Anon

One more example of legislation failing to keep up with dungeon products

14 Passing-by Anon

I mean, unknown materials don't exactly pop up that often these days, but legislation always takes forever

15 Passing-by Anon

That puke is slick as hell about that kind of thing, I swear

16 Passing-by Anon

All his controversy videos have loopholes carefully built into them too

17 Passing-by Anon

And the guy himself is top-class among the young generation as an explorer, so there's basically nobody who could stop him by force

18 Passing-by Anon

His clan being that Black Tiger is a big deal too They're advisors to the Dungeon Bureau, they've got political muscle, and they're top-one-or-two in the country in raw strength He'll walk away clean again this time anyway

19 Passing-by Anon

This is exactly why we get called a dungeon developing nation

20 Passing-by Anon

The idiots subscribed to Puke's channel are accomplices too

21 Passing-by Anon

Especially the ones throwing superchats to egg on his stunts What is wrong with those people, seriously

22 Passing-by Anon

Well, this stunt does look like it came from his subscriber count visibly bleeding out At the end of the day, he himself is the one most at fault

23 Passing-by Anon

He's panicking 'cause Mitsuki-sama blew past his subscriber count at ridiculous speed

24 Passing-by Anon

Way younger than Puke, promising future, a beautiful streamer doing beginner-friendly strategy explainers... Zero chance of winning, desu wa

25 Passing-by Anon

A grown man being jealous of an actual high school girl, man...

26 Passing-by Anon

Subs go up, he gets cocky; subs go down, he throws a tantrum and escalates What even do you do with that piece of puke trash?

27 Passing-by Anon

At the end of the day, guys with power get to do whatever they want, in every sense Makes me sick to my stomach

28 Passing-by Anon

For now I'm archiving the stream footage in case anything happens

29 Passing-by Anon

Yeah, that's about all anyone can do right now

30 Passing-by Anon

Galling that it still counts toward his viewer numbers, but whatever

…………………

187 Passing-by Anon

【Breaking News】Kagerou gets utterly flattened by a thug ojou-sama out of nowhere

188 Passing-by Anon

???

189 Passing-by Anon

What am I even looking at??

190 Passing-by Anon

Clips of Puke's live stream are getting posted everywhere—go look It's insane

191 Passing-by Anon

I am FUCKING dying lmaoooo

192 Passing-by Anon

Lost it completely at the "mother who hurt her lady parts giving birth to you" bit

193 Passing-by Anon

The information density is too much...

194 Passing-by Anon

The clip view counts are actually ridiculous lmao

195 Passing-by Anon

Wait, wait. Isn't this just one of those common fake videos??

196 Passing-by Anon

AI's gotten so good lately that fakes look real too There are even people pushing fakes as "live streams" these days

197 Passing-by Anon

Fake videos all have tells—pretty easy to spot, actually

198 Passing-by Anon

There are fake-detection tools too, go verify it. This one's genuine For the record, I suspected the tools were glitching and tried several different ones

199 Passing-by Anon

So the guy who's arguably the strongest of the young generation just got onesidedly beaten to death... what does that make her...

200 Passing-by Anon

I-I mean, onesided or not, it was a sneak attack...

201 Passing-by Anon

>>200 Morning, Puke. Making excuses is a bad look

202 Passing-by Anon

Just being able to land a sneak attack on a top ranker running on razor-sharp nerves inside a dungeon already makes her a straight-up monster, classic

203 Passing-by Anon

'Sides, the only sneak attack was the very first hit Puke straight-up tried to fight back partway through and still got absolutely wrecked

204 Passing-by Anon

Hard to tell 'cause the movement's so fast, but Puke did have his weapon out

205 Passing-by Anon

Lmao. I'm eating good

206 Passing-by Anon

Nah, this is too much even for him... if it's not a fake, isn't it staged? I hate Puke as much as anyone, but there's no universe where he gets onesidedly beaten

207 Passing-by Anon

I mean, staging that would basically be declaring war on Black Tiger, one of the top clans in the country...

208 Passing-by Anon

No way. However far his channel's fallen, a vain, pride-filled piece of work like Puke would never stage something like this

209 Passing-by Anon

Fair point

210 Passing-by Anon

Wait, so that mystery thug ojou-sama is an actual, naturally occurring thug ojou-sama?

211 Passing-by Anon

She's basically a rabid dog...

212 Passing-by Anon

Honestly I'd find "new species of monster" easier to accept?

213 Passing-by Anon

That said, what she's actually saying is perfectly reasonable, this ojou-sama It's just that she opens with a blistering dropkick and then onesidedly pummels Puke with lethal left-right slaps (?) plus gut punches and knee strikes (?) that's the unhinged part

214 Passing-by Anon

No, hold on The lecture was mostly on point, but she was treating Puke like total garbage and stuff—some of her remarks weren't all there either, this girl

215 Passing-by Anon

And to top it off she decided Puke was a lost child lol

216 Passing-by Anon

Also, I know it's late to ask, but why is this thug ojou-sama wearing a frilly dress into a dungeon

217 Passing-by Anon

For the record, Kagerou's encounter with the ojou-sama was apparently in the lower layers

218 Passing-by Anon

Fwah!?

219 Passing-by Anon

The lower layers are where you go in a party—a dungeon party, not a dinner party...? (shaky voice)

220 Passing-by Anon

Back when dungeons first appeared, the lower layers were a hellscape where crack troops in full gear got routed...

221 Passing-by Anon

Come to think of it, wasn't there a rumor years back about a woman in a dress toting a metal bat in the Shinjuku Dungeon's middle layers...

222 Passing-by Anon

Some new breed of apparition, maybe?

223 Passing-by Anon

Old rumors aside, who the hell IS this ojou-sama, seriously... Does she even actually exist?

…………………

911 Passing-by Anon

Hey, you guys! Apparently somebody found the mystery thug ojou-sama's streaming channel!

912 Passing-by Anon

A streamer!?

913 Passing-by Anon

"Natural-Born Ojou-sama Karin Yamada's Elegant Dungeon Conquest" That's the one → URL

914 Passing-by Anon

It's real!?

915 Passing-by Anon

Huh??? A high school girl??? Sixteen??? Solo runs only??????

916 Passing-by Anon

Nobody's gonna believe me now that it's long past ten thousand, but when I found it, this channel had three subscribers

917 Passing-by Anon

You're telling me a prodigy (age 16) capable of onesidedly beating Puke to death sat buried for over a year?

918 Passing-by Anon

Truly a dungeon developing nation

919 Passing-by Anon

H-hey... isn't this ojou-sama beating the crap out of monsters without letting a single attack so much as graze her dress...?

920 Passing-by Anon

Surely these old videos are fake...? Right?

921 Passing-by Anon

No, this one's genuine too... (round two)

922 Passing-by Anon

Ehhh... (visibly recoiling)

923 Passing-by Anon

A physical freak who's convinced herself she's an ojou-sama

924 Passing-by Anon

Yes, this one can definitely beat Puke to death, desu wa

925 Passing-by Anon

Puke's been getting casually murdered this whole time lmao

926 Passing-by Anon

Is she seriously an indie? The dress thing kinda smells corporate, no?

927 Passing-by Anon

I was thinking that too. There are corporate cosplay-streamer groups and whatnot

928 Passing-by Anon

So it IS a plant from some big agency? It's all way too perfect, come on

929 Passing-by Anon

Nice armchair analysis, otsu Those idol-marketed types stick mainly to the upper layers Their "cosplay" is proper gear built for mobility Not a single one of 'em wears something idiotic like a dress

930 Passing-by Anon

And I'll say it again: the ojou-sama appeared in the deepest, gnarliest reaches of the lower layers

931 Passing-by Anon

See! It's a new breed of apparition after all!

932 Passing-by Anon

Come to think of it, neither the ojou-sama nor Puke has ended their stream, right?

933 Passing-by Anon

Both screens are pitch black—only picking up audio, though

934 Passing-by Anon

Sounds like the ojou-sama's carrying Puke on her back through the dungeon right now, so the body cam's probably covered

935 Passing-by Anon

Wait, we're about to hit 1,000 posts. I'll start the next thread

936 Passing-by Anon

Thx Threads are spawning everywhere—don't forget to drop the link
