Volume 1 Chapter 55 Omega, Part sama's Seriously Strong Squad
"Ahhh! It reminds me! It's 'Omega-sama'!!"
"Omega? Oh, that name rings a bell... Oh yeah, it's that D-streamer who's causing a huge online stir!"
"O-Omega-sama is... wearing the Death Mask... He looks... so cool!!!"
Nagisa, Yuki, and Kotono each react differently.
As Ayumi observes their reactions, she cautiously asks,
"Huh? Omega... 'sama'? You guys know about Omega-kun?"
Ayumi asked the three timidly,
"Of course! How come you don't, Ayumi?!"
"Huh? You don't know him?!"
"What? Ayumi, you don't know him?!"
Ayumi is met with disbelief by the 3, especially Kotono, who rarely shows such high energy.
Ayumi realizes that not knowing about 'Omega-sama' makes her feel out of touch with the world.
"Well, I didn't have time last week! I was busy planning the strategy for the Floor Boss battle..."
Ayumi tries to defend herself against their reactions.
"I appreciate that, but... The 'Omega-sama's Controversy' was all over the place last week!"
"I knew there was a Seeker who caused a stir, but I didn't know the name..."
Ayumi's voice grows quieter, feeling a bit awkward for not knowing about 'Omega-sama', even though she hasn't done anything wrong.
"But why didn't you recognize him as Omega-sama when you saw him, even though you knew about the 'Omega-sama's Controversy'?"
Ayumi tries to regain her confidence and assumes a fighting stance, but...
"He wasn't wearing that pure white mask last week."
"And he wasn't dressed in black with a cloak like this."
"Huh? Ah, yeah, that's it......"
"Oh, I see. That makes sense," Ayumi nodded in agreement with Yuki and Nagisa's response, accepting her defeat. She quickly gave up on resisting the trio and decided to directly question Takeru.
"Weren't you wearing a different mask and outfit last week?"
"Oh, yes. Last week, I was just wearing sunglasses and a mask covering my mouth. So, this Death Mask costume is my debut for today~"
"Oh, I see. That's interesting~"
The exchange between Ayumi and Takeru was so lighthearted that it was easy to forget they were in the depths of the Lower Floors of the dungeon... The atmosphere felt so peaceful.
"Well, last week was my first-ever live stream as a D-Streamer, and I kind of messed up on my very first stream..."
"Oh, you mean the one that went viral, right?"
"Yes. So, today is my first stream since that incident... And since I wore this outfit for the first time today, it's understandable that Nagisa-san, Yuki-san, and Kotono-san didn't recognize me right away... Haha!"
"Yeah, that makes sense... Wait, hold on a second!"
"Yes?"
The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly changed.
"Umm... If today is your second stream and last week was your first, does that mean you've only been exploring the dungeon as a Seeker since last week?"
"Yes. As I showed you earlier, I'm a newbie Seeker who just became an F-Class Seeker. I'm still clueless about being a D-Streamer too... Haha!"
Takeru casually showed them the 'Iron Registration Card' of an F-Class Seeker hanging from his neck.
Then,
"Wait, you're an F-Class... Seeker?!"
But seeing Ayumi's reaction, Yuki responded,
"No, that was what you said when Omega-sama came to rescue me earlier."
"That's right, Ayumi-chan. Omega-sama-chan showed us 'Iron registration card', right?"
Nagisa and Kotono calmly commented.
"Well, I, um, at that time, my life was saved, and... since I wasn't sure what would happen next, I wasn't exactly calm... so... I completely forgot about that. I'm sorry, Omega-kun."
"No, no, don't apologize! It's not like it's something to be sorry for. Please don't worry about it. And please, Ayumi-san, lift your head up!"
Seeing Ayumi bowing her head in apology, Takeru hurriedly urged her to raise it.
"But, now that I think about it calmly, when I'm faced with the fact that you're an 'F-Class Seeker', I finally realize just how abnormal you are..."
As Ayumi confessed that she didn't know about the 'Omega-sama',
"Yup, yup, I get it now!!!"
The 3 of them nodded in agreement, arms crossed, and then,
"""Welcome to the world of Omega-sama!!"""
The 3 greeted Ayumi with bright smiles.
* * *
"It seems like Ayumi has finally joined us on the same level. We welcome you!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah... I guess so..."
As Nagisa proudly looked down on Ayumi, having shared the knowledge of 'Omega-sama', Ayumi decided to just go along with Nagisa's enthusiasm, and didn't bother to retort.
"So, I want to ask Omega-sama a lot of questions now... but before that, is Omega-sama currently live-streaming?"
"Hey, Nagisa-san! Please stop with the 'Omega-sama'! It's fine to call him 'Omega-kun' like before..."
"No, that's not okay. I reject that. Because I'm also a die-hard fan of 'Omega-sama'!"
"Huh? Die-hard fan?"
"Ah, please don't mind that. But is 'Omega-chan' currently live-streaming?"
"Um, well, yes, sort of..."
"I see. By the way, is the chat function still..."
"It's turned off."
"......I see. Actually, right now the viewers of our 'Valkyrie Channel' and the residents of the D-Streamer bulletin board are watching both our channel and Omega-sama's 'Omega Channel.'"
"Huh? My channel too...?"
"Yes. So, I believe Omega-sama's channel might be buzzing as well."
"N-No way. That can't be true. Valkyrie Channel might be buzzing, but my channel is just a simple stream of me exploring dungeons with the chat function turned off. There's no way it's buzzing..."
"Here you go, Omega-sama."
"Huh? W-Wait, Kotono-san?!"
Suddenly, Kotono came beside Takeru and held out her smartphone... kneeling.
"W-Why are you kneeling?!"
"......It's fine. I'm a hardcore Omega-sama fan. And Omega-sama shouldn't worry about such trivial matters. Please, just look at the phone."
Since she wouldn't stop kneeling no matter what he said, Takeru reluctantly looked at the screen Kotono held out.
"......Huh?"
