Everything everywhere has been in total chaos for about a week now... but things have finally calmed down a little, so to summarize Inukai Industries' crimes and how it all ended: ・Concealed the existence of a special, difficult-to-detect dungeon that emerged on land it owned ・Spent years conducting illegal research to artificially create enhanced variants and secure a stable supply of rare enhanced-monster materials. The dungeon was crawling with an impossible number and quality of enhanced variants ・Tentacle-chan (not sexy), apparently born during that process, caused a first-class irregularity by partially emerging from the dungeon despite no dungeon collapse occurring (Ojou-sama immediately blew it away, so the impact was muted and the news isn't making much of it. Report it properly) ・Tried to destroy the evidence by blowing up the researchers along with the laboratory using blast stones, but Karin ojou-sama stopped them ・Yoko Inukai, the group president who led the research, has completely vanished and remains wanted ・Then all the subcontractors and subsidiaries went, "Now! Finish them while they're weak!" and dumped mountains of evidence of forced exploitative labor and power harassment. As a result, Inukai Industries headquarters got simultaneously raided by the Anti-Dungeon Division, the guild and Dungeon Bureau, AND the Labor Standards Inspection Office, and has completely ceased operations. Between the interdimensional fine for concealing a dungeon and its stock price going over Niagara Falls, bankruptcy is guaranteed. What they did was so appalling that there currently don't even seem to be plans for another company to acquire and rebuild it

This is dangerous on a completely different axis from Black Tiger or Sharie-sama's arrival. I can't even laugh
501 Passing-by Anon
The more calmly you organize the information, the more utterly deranged Inukai Industries looks... No wonder it and the insanely dangerous unregistered dungeon have dominated the top news every day
502 Passing-by Anon
The most dangerous part is that tentacle that melted(?) the dungeon wall and grew out of the laboratory floor TV is so focused on Inukai Industries and the undiscovered dungeon that they barely mention it, but even if it was only the tip of a tentacle, why did a monster emerge aboveground when no dungeon collapse occurred...?
503 Passing-by Anon
They said it was probably the result of encouraging cannibalism and mass-producing dangerous enhanced variants The stronger a monster is, the denser the mana it needs to survive, which is why monsters normally remain on their respective floors. But there's a theory that irregular monsters which push up into upper floors with thinner mana are a type of enhanced variant born through cannibalism
504 Passing-by Anon
The fact that an irregular like THAT could be created artificially is scarier than Karin ojou-sama's fist
505 Passing-by Anon
Still, it sounds almost impossible to reproduce, so that's a relief That undiscovered dungeon apparently did emerge by chance after all, and according to the arrested researchers' testimony, they could only induce monsters to cannibalize one another and produce enhanced variants because of Yoko Inukai's unique skill(?)
506 Passing-by Anon
I'd been wondering how they deliberately produced enhanced variants, so it WAS a unique
507 Passing-by Anon
The cores of the abyssal Head Mound Dungeon and that hidden dungeon were adjacent underground, so their presences blended together, right?
508 Passing-by Anon
Yeah, exactly The odds sound absurd, but apparently the truth is that this special dungeon happened to emerge on Inukai Industries' property, and they concealed it And all the arrested researchers themselves were doing was experiments to refine, concentrate, and process(?) materials illegally harvested from the hidden dungeon. The reason monsters that normally wouldn't cannibalize one another were devouring those high-density materials was the fugitive president. So yeah, apparently the illegal experiment depended on both chance and a unique
509 Passing-by Anon
That's a little reassuring If they were casually manufacturing enhanced variants that could emerge aboveground without a dungeon collapse, we'd be completely screwed
510 Passing-by Anon
Whatever the case, Inukai Industries seriously did something idiotic because it was blinded by greed Dunno if they got excited thinking a mountain of treasure had randomly sprung up on their property If the damage stayed inside that property, they'd only have blown themselves up, but if that tentacle had grown any further, the surrounding area would've suffered too
511 Passing-by Anon
There was even a risk of a dungeon collapse, so I can't believe they actually did it Though even from the brief glimpses on camera, the place was packed with enhanced-variant materials that looked like they'd sell for insane prices. It did LOOK like they could make a massive profit from developing new technologies or smuggling them
512 Passing-by Anon
Even so, that's Umbrella Corporation-tier sloppy strategy, and the consequences for screwing up were far too massive for both themselves and everyone around them If Ojou-sama hadn't found that thing, it might've turned into an unprecedented irregularity, you know??
513 Passing-by Anon
I feel bad for the F City guild and police running around in a frenzy, but if they hadn't crushed this here, it might've become even worse than Black Tiger's reign
514 Passing-by Anon
And THAT'S why Inukai Industries (headquarters) is going up in flames so spectacularly right now
515 Passing-by Anon
To exaggerate a little, what they did was basically build a nuclear bomb inside the country that could explode at any moment, all for short-term profit...
516 Passing-by Anon
But when you put it that way, Karin ojou-sama finding Inukai Industries' hidden dungeon was seriously one hell of a play She stopped it before it caused catastrophic damage, and if by some chance another faction has recreated Inukai Industries' conditions and is doing something similar, it'll now be easier to discover and prevent worldwide
517 Passing-by Anon
Seriously Karin ojou-sama's stream has every investigative body in Japan and across the world frantically reinspecting the areas around dungeons with abyssal layers
518 Passing-by Anon
Given the current climate, the fugitive Yoko Inukai won't be able to run to some research institute or organization and repeat the same experiments either Though it's creepy that the police and Anti-Dungeon Division must be hunting her with everything they've got and STILL haven't caught her. Woman's got some ridiculous luck... But surely it's only a matter of time before they find her
519 Passing-by Anon
And speaking of Ojou-sama, there's THAT too Finding the hidden dungeon and illegal laboratory was already enough to make her MVP, but then she said, "Guiding evacuees is an explorer's duty, desu wa!" and immediately marched in before they had any chance to destroy evidence, broadcasting the experimental evidence and stockpiled materials to the whole world. That was genuinely, seriously one hell of a play lmaooo
520 Passing-by Anon
Thanks to that, even their desperate excuse of "We didn't know there was a dungeon underground" became impossible lmaooo
521 Passing-by Anon
Apparently that laboratory was so thorough about concealment that it recreated the conditions of "a dungeon emerged beneath the building's foundations" Karin ojou-sama's goodwill seriously blasted straight through an evil organization's carefully prepared excuses
522 Passing-by Anon
And rescuing every researcher was the best too lol They were seconds away from all getting blown away by the blast stones planted to destroy the evidence, right?
523 Passing-by Anon
Exactly Apparently the researchers started spilling information incredibly smoothly once they learned they'd been disposable pawns. A genuinely Elegant play
524 Passing-by Anon
We only learned afterward, but Karin ojou-sama stopped the explosion in absolutely spectacular fashion right in front of those researchers... As expected of the Karin ojou-sama who didn't allow a single death during a dungeon collapse!
525 Passing-by Anon
I hear someone accused the Karin ojou-sama who made that incredible play of doing a cupped fart?
526 Passing-by Anon
Th-that could not be helped, desu wa! If she had tossed the blast stone into her item box to neutralize it, that would be one thing, but how were we supposed to know she crushed the explosion inside her fist!?
527 Passing-by Anon
The combination of her moving too fast for anyone to tell what happened + everything weird she's said before made people suspect the little smoke leaking from her fist was a cupped fart. Absolutely lmao
528 Passing-by Anon
No matter how Karin ojou-sama Karin ojou-sama may be, there's no way she'd do a cupped fart during an emergency, yet people suspected her for a while. Seriously smelly
529 Passing-by Anon
Stop replacing "lol" with "smelly," give her a break lmaooooo At this rate, "smell" will join "vomit" on the banned-word list lmaooo
530 Passing-by Anon
The fact that Karin ojou-sama eventually went all the way to a boss room where detonating blast stones was allowed and put on a performance of crushing an actual explosion was seriously deranged lmao
531 Passing-by Anon
It's almost scary how often Karin ojou-sama stumbles across this stuff, but if you examine the information carefully, this was a case where only Karin ojou-sama could've noticed that dungeon and secured the evidence and witnesses
532 Passing-by Anon
In a way, it was inevitable... Though stumbling across that dungeon out of nowhere is still ridiculous!
533 Passing-by Anon
But surely any coincidence becomes inevitable before our living-goddess ojou-sama, desu wa~! Seriously, though. I can't believe that tyrant Inukai Industries was genuinely crushed by Ojou-sama's own hands... I can never thank her enough...! I feel like I might seriously start worshiping her...!
534 Passing-by Anon
Oh? Do you work for an Inukai subcontractor?
535 Passing-by Anon
Are you the person who imagined a gigantic Ojou-sama wrecking Inukai Industries in the Ojou-sama thread before?
536 Passing-by Anon
What the hell is that lmao
537 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
I am, desu wa~! I was completely exhausted back then and regretted posting something so weird... but after this unbelievable development, I've been constantly hyped lately, desu no! 三└(┐卍^o^)卍ﾄﾞｩﾙﾙﾙﾙﾙ(((ꎤ’ω’)و三 ꎤ’ω’)-o≡ｼｭｯｼｭ
538 Passing-by Anon
You're seriously hyped lmao
539 Passing-by Anon
Inukai Industries WAS famous for bullying subcontractors and working subsidiaries to death lol It's a massive corporate group, so it must have tons of subcontractors and subsidiaries. Of course a few people from them would be on the board lmaooo
540 Passing-by Anon
Even the information getting leaked right now is horrifying, so of course you'd get hyped if a shit company like that suddenly exploded lmao
541 Passing-by Anon
But will you be all right, desu no? Even if they forced you into exploitative conditions, transactions with Inukai Industries were still supposed to be your main source of income, and suddenly losing such a major client sounds dangerous in all kinds of ways
542 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
The thing is, it genuinely looks like we'll be fine!!
543 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
You remember how that recent Kisaragi Dungeon incident increased demand for streaming cameras worldwide, centered on Japan? Well, demand for the parts needed to manufacture them has surged too, desu no! New products marketed as sturdier than existing models are even being developed behind the scenes, and factories with little connection to cameras are getting work too because "a company that endured under Inukai Industries should be able to provide high-quality materials." I wouldn't say we're being overwhelmed with offers, but real work is being created for us, desu wa!
544 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
On top of that, this hidden-dungeon incident has raised worldwide demand for precision measuring equipment too (because mana measurements alone might overlook hidden dungeons), so we're seeing special demand there as well It depends on the parts and materials they produce, but most Inukai subsidiaries and subcontractors seem like they'll be all right, desu no! Even without that, plenty of people had long thought, "If only Inukai weren't involved, I'd love to send work to this factory..."
545 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
Naturally, we'll be investigated for a while to determine whether we were involved in Inukai's crimes, and companies living hand to mouth will struggle. But even then, the victims can help one another to some extent, and there's all this special Ojou-sama demand, so in the long term it seriously looks like there won't be a problem, desu no!
546 Passing-by Anon
Seriously? Lmaooooo
547 Passing-by Anon
The news is all Inukai Industries and the undiscovered dungeon, so I had no idea that was happening. Lmao
548 Passing-by Anon
That ojou-sama somehow made everything work out nicely AGAIN!?
549 Passing-by Anon
That ojou-sama may operate on 100% purely Elegant goodwill at all times, but how does she do so much insane shit and still somehow make everything end well!?
550 Passing-by Anon
How does the ridiculous "escape method from a first-class irregularity that ordinary people can use" she created during the Kisaragi Dungeon incident end up paying off HERE????????
551 Passing-by Anon
Lately, there are times when I start suspecting Karin ojou-sama calculated all of this...
552 Passing-by Anon
Future historian: "In addition to her overwhelming combat power, Karin Yamada possessed a complete understanding of the effect it had on society. She was a strategist streamer who always thought ten moves ahead, calculating how to wield her strength for the best possible result"
553 Passing-by Anon
Reactions when the 200-years-later historical drama New Interpretation: The Elegant Life of Ojou-sama Explorer Karin Yamada gets its synopsis announced: "Making Karin ojou-sama an idiot who couldn't distinguish anime from reality is hateful historical fiction lmaooo" "The creators claim this is what you get when you accurately interpret the history books, journals, and barely surviving electronic data. Are they sane?" "How are you going to explain that whole master-strategist stream maneuver—seeing through Inukai Industries' crimes beforehand, conducting an immediate raid under the pretext of evacuation guidance to eliminate every avenue for excuses, AND protecting the livelihoods of its subsidiaries—by making her an idiot????????"
554 Passing-by Anon
>>552 >>553 That's way too much fake-fan Ojou-sama lmaooo
555 Passing-by Anon
Ojou-sama's movements were so incomprehensible that Best friend-chan, her external brain, got merged into her and passed down to future generations lmaoooo
556 Passing-by Anon
But seriously, if a history textbook showed me the current sequence of events, I'd absolutely misunderstand!
557 Passing-by Anon
When even we, experiencing Karin ojou-sama live in the present, are almost getting fooled a little...
558 Passing-by Anon
When you look at it that way, maybe a fair number of history's great figures were idiots like Ojou-sama... I mean, pleasantly minded... I mean...
559 Passing-by Anon
If you're going to choose your words, please choose them BEFORE posting!
560 Passing-by Anon
But now that we've come this far, wouldn't it be unsurprising if she WERE calculating something...?
561 Passing-by Anon
I don't think Karin ojou-sama thinks about anything
562 Passing-by Anon
How could you say something like that with a straight face, Chiyo-chan?
563 Passing-by Anon
Friendly reminder that the creator of the original actually DID think about it properly
564 Passing-by Anon
Ojou-sama is always thinking about Elegance, so the quote fits. Good!
565 Passing-by Anon
Her Ojou-sama seriously HAS connected prioritizing human lives under Elegant theory and finding an escape procedure from Kisaragi Dungeon that ordinary explorers can follow to the current situation, so it's hard to deny that she "technically thinks"!
566 533 Who Worships and Exalts Ojou-sama
Whatever the case, there is no question Karin ojou-sama's actions saved us, desu no! Seriously, everyone at my workplace, including me, can never thank her enough... We can't even wait for her acrylic stand to release, so we used the factory's machine tools to make a statue of Yamada, God of Destruction, and put it on the company's kamidana, desu no!
567 Passing-by Anon
What the hell are you doing!?
568 Passing-by Anon
A heretic cult is born lmao
569 Passing-by Anon
Yamada, God of Destruction, is an entire LMAO plantation
570 Passing-by Anon
I mean, her accomplishments genuinely make her look like nothing but a god of destruction lmaooo
571 Passing-by Anon
List of things Karin ojou-sama, aka Yamada, God of Destruction, has destroyed since appearing on the public stage: ・Common sense ・Dungeon walls ・Kagerou's face ・Common sense ・Black Shell ・Black Tiger, one of the nation's strongest clans ・Common sense ・The stomachs of politicians in a neighboring country ・The stomachs of Japanese politicians ・Kisaragi Dungeon ・The headquarters of top domestic corporate group Inukai Industries ・Common sense
572 Passing-by Anon
She's destroying common sense like it's a call-and-response refrain lmao
573 Passing-by Anon
She destroys multiple criminal organizations and makes the internet bloom with laughter every time. At this point she's less a god of destruction and more the Forest Spirit lmaooo
574 Passing-by Anon
Yamadaidarabotchi lmao
575 Passing-by Anon
No joke, that ojou-sama seems like she has a second and third form lmaooo
576 Passing-by Anon
This completely turned into an Ojou-sama thread before I knew it. Absolutely lmao
577 Passing-by Anon
Hey, everyone! Something bad happened!
578 Passing-by Anon
Sorry to derail the thread! But something seriously dangerous is happening!
579 Passing-by Anon
Look at this! Things are completely insane! → URL
580 Passing-by Anon
Hm? What is it?
581 Passing-by Anon
Didn't we have this exact flow recently?
582 Passing-by Anon
Probably just a link to another sketchy site, so I'll leave scouting to you o/
583 Passing-by Anon
...Eh? Hah? Is this for real?
584 Passing-by Anon
Eh
585 Passing-by Anon
Hah?
586 Passing-by Anon
A dungeon with abyssal layers collapsed in the American wilderness!?!?!?!?!?!?
587 Passing-by Anon
Hah!? What is this, a fake video!?
588 Passing-by Anon
No, every TV station is running breaking news about it right now!? What the hell is happening!? Aren't dungeon collapses only supposed to happen in dungeons up through deep-layer class!?
589 Passing-by Anon
Well, technically, I think two abyssal-class collapses were observed in the early dungeon era... But conversely, nothing like this has happened in DECADES!?
590 Passing-by Anon
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell is this number of monsters!? They've spread across an enormous area!?
591 Passing-by Anon
And the ground has collapsed WAY farther than three hundred meters around the dungeon entrance, hasn't it!? Isn't this abnormal even for an abyssal-class collapse!?
592 Passing-by Anon
Whatever the case, the number of monsters is insane!?!?!
593 Passing-by Anon
Holy shit... I know a dungeon with abyssal layers has mana on an entirely different scale, but how huge an area is that mana erupting across...? No way...
594 Passing-by Anon
Monsters can only operate within the released mana, so this scene won't spread without limit, but it's still far too dangerous... If this happened in an urban area during the early dungeon era, no wonder it could cripple a small country...
595 Passing-by Anon
Apparently the one silver lining is that it happened in the California wilderness rather than a city... But even then, is this going to be all right!? I can see monsters that look insanely strong. Can they suppress it before it reaches an urban area!?
596 Passing-by Anon
I'd like to believe America, one of the world's dungeon-advanced nations alongside dungeon superpower Raviristan, can handle it, but...
597 Passing-by Anon
Hey, this is WAY beyond an undiscovered-dungeon incident!?
598 Passing-by Anon
O-Ojou-sama! Fly over there right now and blow everything awaaaaay!
599 Passing-by Anon
Launching a nuclear missile out of nowhere to erase a hurricane in another country is not allowed But seriously, things are looking catastrophic... Is this gonna be okay?
