Boss 'Huge Slime' Battle! (1)

The battle against the Huge Slime was a fierce and brutal affair… it was not.

It was just that the enemy was tough. No, wait. It was squishy.

Dungeon Braver: Comments

[Mikoto]: "The Huge Slime is a collective of countless smaller slimes, and it attacks by flinging pieces of itself. Which is to say, so long as you don't send them back at it, eventually you will win… probably?"

Guided by their AI receptionist's advice, the three Dungeon Braver members kept smacking the smaller slimes being lobbed at them off into the middle of nowhere.

"My oh my. This is its own kind of perfect finishing drill, isn't it～"

"No kidding, hah! Tou!"

"Feels exactly like a graduation exam. Yoshi! Home run!"

"A center fly is plenty this time around, Yuuta-sama."

The smaller slimes the Huge Slime spat out had cores that were smaller than the regular slimes they'd practiced on, making them harder to hit.

On top of that, if you couldn't dial your strength in just right, they wouldn't fly at all and would just burst on the spot.

Sakura happened to pop one and take a bath in its body fluids.

"Kyaa! I messed up… ugh, I'm all sticky…"

"[250 JPY] nice work!"

"[500 JPY] well done, huge slime!"

"oi, over there, swap with me. getting slime goo coated all over sakura-tan's body and everything!"

"↑so you're fine getting squashed into a pulp, huh?"

Drenched in slime goo as she was, Sakura was pulling in the comments regardless. And the SuperChats along with it.

"… O-oh de-ear! I've gone and made a blunder too～!"

Karona had deliberately crushed a slime instead of knocking it away. Yet hardly any of the slime's ooze clung to her.

"ojou, that was way too staged. 3/10"

"just barely caught the edge of her dress… you chickened out, ojou"

"please take notes from sakura-san"

"And why is that?! Geez! You want me to take a full splash to the face?! This hairstyle is a nightmare to set, I'll have you know!!"

Well, strictly speaking, the only time she'd struggled with it was during the initial avatar creation. Ever since, no matter how much she adventured or how filthy she got, the second her dungeon run ended she was back to pristine.

"… I get it. You worked hard on your avatar, you don't want to dirty it up! But I'm not getting dirty on purpose either, Karona-chan!!"

"Hyoeh! I-I'm terribly sorry. My need for validation got the better of me!"

Naughty girl! This! This! Karona lightly smacked her own hand in reproach. Well, she wasn't actually hitting herself all that hard. It was just for show.

"You're awfully relaxed for a boss battle."

"Well, the Huge Slime hasn't budged a single step from the waterfall."

"Yeah, yeah. All it does is throw slimes. Its behavior pattern's kinda simple."

That said, the fight was eating up time. Stream runtime was already past the two-hour mark.

"Oh right, are you good on time today? We can go until the evening."

"Ah! R-right, there's a time sale at 17:00…!"

Dungeon Braver: Comments

"time sale lolll"

"huh, isn't this kid supposed to be an Ojou-sama? lol"

"yo, porter-san and co. this is Ojou for ya"

"welcome to the daily life of a karonite"

"[500 JPY] for groceries, go ahead. this should cover one meal, so keep the stream going without worrying"

"! Tama-nii-san, thank you very much～!… Fufu, my time situation just became no problem at all!"

"Yeah. Good for you, Karona-jou."

With the support of a regular Karonite, Karona's operating hours had been extended.
