【Even Deep-Layer Bosses】Karin Ojou-sama's Ornament-Making Stream Live Thread Part 334【Get Punched to Death, Desu Wa!】
34 Passing-by Anon
TV and the internet have been nothing but ojou-sama since yesterday lol I was so hyped I barely slept lol
35 Passing-by Anon
The internet's especially wild! Everywhere you look, it's ojou-sama! The deep-layer irregularity and item box are nothing compared to this!
36 Passing-by Anon
She monopolized Twiitter's trending words lmao
37 Passing-by Anon
Is this the World Cup lol
38 Passing-by Anon
She stopped a dungeon collapse singlehandedly With zero deaths, even. Absolutely insane
39 Passing-by Anon
An achievement beyond achievements
40 Passing-by Anon
Some volunteers checked: at least in official records, zero deaths is unprecedented
41 Passing-by Anon
Obviously
42 Passing-by Anon
Only remotely similar case might be the Unification Queen of the African dungeons supposedly suppressing a collapse solo with minimal damage?
43 Passing-by Anon
Even the queen everyone says has loads of exaggerated dictator stories attached to her couldn't manage zero...?
44 Passing-by Anon
Or maybe Karin ojou-sama doing it proves the African dungeon queen's stories might NOT be exaggerations...?
45 Passing-by Anon
The Unification Queen gaining credibility out of nowhere lmao
46 Passing-by Anon
Oh yeah, that stream was originally about making the ornament Setsuna-sama gave her in real life, wasn't it? lol The thread title reminded me lol
47 Passing-by Anon
Part 334 is one hell of a number lmao
48 Passing-by Anon
Over 300 threads in less than a day since the collapse lol The sheer activity
49 Passing-by Anon
And that's WITH the other threads multiplying and her dominating SNS trends lol
50 Passing-by Anon
What, is it the World Cup final? lol
51 Passing-by Anon
This really is a festival lol
52 Passing-by Anon
Meanwhile Karin ojou-sama has broken five million followers on Twiitter, posted a dying cry of "Please forget what happened in Shibuya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and gone silent
53 Passing-by Anon
lol
54 Passing-by Anon
lol
55 Passing-by Anon
lol
56 Passing-by Anon
THAT bit really got to her lol
57 Passing-by Anon
Well, that wasn't a face a high school girl wants broadcast to the world lol Especially one aiming to be 'Elegant' and 'Refined'
58 Passing-by Anon
I feel bad for her, but the fact she's trying to ERASE her Shibuya heroics instead of boasting says her ojou-sama roleplay matters a hundred times more than her achievement. I love her even more lol
59 Passing-by Anon
Exactly lol Her desperate attempts to make us forget might be why almost nobody's crawled out to criticize her just to be contrarian about a high-profile incident. Not literally zero, but it's miraculous how little negativity there is around a story this big. I'm having a blast lol
60 Passing-by Anon
That fake ojou-sama has some unreal luck, running into a dungeon collapse and all lol
61 Passing-by Anon
Puke's body cam is genuinely the MVP after ojou-sama lol
62 Passing-by Anon
Oh right, Puke exists Solo collapse suppression was so crazy I forgot him lol
63 Passing-by Anon
Thought there'd definitely be a one-punch remix and a looping GIF, but the collapse washed it all away lmao There goes my million Zimbabwean dollars...
64 Passing-by Anon
YOU posted that comment!? lol
65 Passing-by Anon
Puke must be laughing at this hilarious situation down in hell
66 Passing-by Anon
He's already in hell lol
67 Passing-by Anon
Come on, Puke isn't dead YET!
68 Passing-by Anon
Between getting one-punched and the collapse, everyone forgot he showed up to confront her. He looked like someone had knocked the venom out of him. Wonder what he'll do next
69 Passing-by Anon
Nah, Puke'll always be Puke Once his injuries heal, he'll piggyback on the whole thing with another stream that's pure excrement. I bet a million Zimbabwean dollars! This time I'm right!
70 Passing-by Anon
But seriously, that solo collapse suppression was nuts We could make a live-action Setsuna-sama spinoff movie starring Karin ojou-sama
71 Passing-by Anon
Karin ojou-sama can't ACT!
72 Passing-by Anon
Watching her terrible acting as she tried to cover everything up without knowing she was live was hilarious lol
73 Passing-by Anon
She's so obsessed with faithfully recreating the source that if someone proposed a movie, she'd drag the rest of the cast into the lower layers to level them up
74 Passing-by Anon
She'd drag the camera crew down too and insist on filming in a real dungeon
75 Passing-by Anon
What kind of person do you think Karin ojou-sama IS? lol
75 Passing-by Anon
A crazy ojou-sama
76 Passing-by Anon
A thoroughly unhinged woman (compliment)
77 Passing-by Anon
A source-material purist to the core
78 Passing-by Anon
Even she's not so clueless she'd train amateurs in the lower layers! Get a grip!
79 Passing-by Anon
She can't star in a movie, but Mochimochi Tamago-sensei's been posting Karin fan art like mad since yesterday, so they'd probably give permission for one in seconds lol
80 Passing-by Anon
The creator of Setsuna-sama, who fried Karin ojou-sama's brain, has now had their own brain fried by Karin lmao
81 Passing-by Anon
How could it not be after THAT lol
82 Passing-by Anon
Mochimochi Tamago-sensei's drawings of Elegatling Gun Ojou-sama and Pile Bunker Ojou-sama are so cool Karin ojou-sama's gonna scream again!?
83 Passing-by Anon
So many good and bad things have happened to her that her brain's definitely over capacity lol
84 Passing-by Anon
Something just occurred to me: what happens to drops from a dungeon collapse? There must've been loads. Do they all go to Karin ojou-sama...?
85 Passing-by Anon
Generally the government gathers all drops from a collapse, then distributes the value among rebuilding costs, victim assistance, and the Self-Defense Forces and explorer clans deployed to the site That might mean selling the materials and splitting the cash, or handing over the drops themselves
86 Passing-by Anon
Really?
87 Passing-by Anon
Yes You don't want groups fighting over credit or drops right there on-site. It's easier to verify each clan's contribution afterward too
88 Passing-by Anon
Except this time ojou-sama basically handled everything alone and there were almost zero casualties, so apparently government staff are tearing their hair out. The rules for distributing materials after a collapse assume transfers to organizations, and there's no precedent for giving almost the whole amount to one individual
89 Passing-by Anon
lol
90 Passing-by Anon
No way there'd be a precedent lol
91 Passing-by Anon
She's an absolute bomb to bureaucrats who rely on precedent lol
92 Passing-by Anon
Only casualty this time might be whoever has to decide how to distribute the money lol
93 Passing-by Anon
Still, explorer circles generally agree the circumstances are exceptional enough that Karin ojou-sama will get something back
94 Passing-by Anon
After what she did, giving her nothing could hurt the government's approval rating... She's almost guaranteed a national honor. Maybe they'll award her something then, though that'd be a while
95 Passing-by Anon
Will they give her the deep-layer boss drops? No idea whether it even dropped anything
96 Passing-by Anon
Giving HER deep-layer boss materials sounds terrifying...?
97 Passing-by Anon
True as king crab
98 Passing-by Anon
But... she already PUNCHED a deep-layer boss to death... And there's the item box... Could she already be hiding deep-layer materials...?
99 Passing-by Anon
Take your true horror stories to another thread!
100 Passing-by Anon
Enough! No more scary stories!
………………………………
974 Passing-by Anon
One thing's certain The famous dud unique <Divine Artisan> is about to be reevaluated Those magic weapons were ridiculous
975 Passing-by Anon
A Gatling that cleared whole hordes from the upper through lower layers, plus a decisive-battle dream weapon that effectively killed a deep-layer boss in two punches...
976 Passing-by Anon
Making THOSE is probably just ojou-sama being abnormal...
977 Passing-by Anon
Even just her <Recoil-Free Cannon> is nuts Wouldn't surprise me if Karin ojou-sama alone has <Divine Artisan> trained to some insane level
978 Passing-by Anon
But the potential to make that stuff exists, right? Isn't <Divine Artisan>'s potential huge? Mass-destruction weapons, item boxes, camouflage dresses... It can do practically anything Even accounting for its creator-only restriction, that's one hell of a strong unique skill
979 Passing-by Anon
Well, that's true
980 Passing-by Anon
I'm glad <Divine Artisan> might get reevaluated, but I have mixed feelings... You'll still need tons of lower-layer materials to realize its potential, so it's not exactly practical
981 Passing-by Anon
Hm? 980, do you have <Divine Artisan>?
982 980 with <Divine Artisan>
I do
983 Passing-by Anon
Seriously? That's super rare
984 Passing-by Anon
An ojou-sama with <Divine Artisan>? You're practically Karin ojou-sama
985 Passing-by Anon
Why mixed feelings about reevaluation? Don't like everyone suddenly changing their tune?
986 980 with <Divine Artisan>
Ah... This might just be me being oversensitive, or whining... I work as an ordinary junior employee in a workshop Even before Karin ojou-sama showed up, I often got teased: 'For someone with a grand skill like <Divine Artisan>, you're pretty average, haha' So if its reputation suddenly skyrockets, I expect they'll find something new to say
987 Passing-by Anon
What a shitty workplace
988 Passing-by Anon
No wonder you've got mixed feelings!? The reevaluation isn't even the problem!
989 Passing-by Anon
Maybe find a new job? Now that <Divine Artisan>'s getting reevaluated, this is your chance
990 980 with <Divine Artisan>
I should probably change jobs, yeah But I'm just a regular, unremarkable craftsperson. I've never even activated <Divine Artisan>; it's a dead skill at proficiency zero No place is going to hire someone who might never do anything like Karin ojou-sama and hand them lower-layer materials costing millions of yen apiece to practice with. Buying them myself or collecting them? No way, no how So its reevaluation doesn't do me much good
991 Passing-by Anon
Put like that, training <Divine Artisan> really isn't practical... Only its user can use the products, so you can't even sell your practice pieces to recoup material costs That law-bending ojou-sama diving into the lower layers and using materials as she likes is beyond ridiculous
992 Passing-by Anon
Too much exposure to impossible things (one particular ojou-sama) has wrecked my sense of reality...
993 Passing-by Anon
So it really IS a famous dud unique... Nobody but ojou-sama can make use of it
994 Passing-by Anon
Stay strong, 980 (´･ω･`)
995 Passing-by Anon
S-surely Karin ojou-sama will rampage and fix it all!
996 Passing-by Anon
She'll punch your problems apart!
997 980 with <Divine Artisan>
What do you think she IS? lol Still, I can't help daydreaming about a decent job offer somewhere. It's not very realistic, so I'll just keep working steadily like I always have
998 Passing-by Anon
With a workplace like that, no wonder you want to dream Good luck, 980
999 Passing-by Anon
If I get 1000, 980 finds a decent new job!
1000 Passing-by Anon
If I get 1000, ojou-sama turns everything upside down!
1001

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Reading the comments made me realize I'd never mentioned what happens to surface drops, and that an actual live-action movie starring ojou-sama might work... So I've added those points.
There have also been great real-life comments—"Karin Party" for the fanbase when I hadn't thought of a viewer name, and "Elegatling guns." I've been laughing at how clever they are. If nobody minds, I may use more in the story. I've already used "Elegatling guns"...
It's funny how the comments are helping me, as though this novel really were a livestream.
*As for future updates, my advance backlog is finally running out. After tomorrow's episode 1 of chapter 2 (?), I plan to switch to twice-weekly updates, Wednesday and Sunday mornings. I hope you'll keep reading. Follow from the right-hand menu to get notifications so you don't miss an update! (That's my request for follows.) Please keep supporting the fake ojou-sama, Karin Yamada.
*I've been busy, so I'm behind on replying, but I've read every comment. Seeing recent episodes get more comments than works at the top of the all-time rankings makes me genuinely happy. Thank you! I'll reply as I can. (But why ARE there so many comments...? Well, it's fun, so whatever!)
