Volume 2 Chapter 9 Hero Brigade......Heading to Shinjuku Gyoen Dungeon! (I)
"...We've arrived."
Now, I, along with Sagawa and Rie-tan, have made it to the front of the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild building.
By the way, Kogoro-san gave us a ride.
Thanks a lot, Kogoro-san!
So, just as we were about to enter the building,
"Hey, hey, hold on. Are you high school students...?"
A person who seemed to be affiliated with the guild called out to us.
Speaking of which,
"Oh, Kasai-san!"
"Huh? Why do you know my name...? Ah, it's you! That high school student from the other day!"
"Yes!"
I was greeted by the D-class Kasai-san, the older brother I met when I first entered the dungeon as Omega...
"Are you still not healed?"
"Huh? Ah... I'm almost there. But I'm mostly healed, so I plan to return to Seeker activities next week."
"I see, congratulations!"
"Thanks! So, are these two your friends...?"
"Yes. We're 3 friends from the same school forming a clan to explore dungeons."
"N-Nice to meet you. I'm Sagawa."
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Amamiya."
"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you both... Huh? Wait a minute... Are you, by any chance... D-class Amamiya Rie?!"
"? Yes, that's me..."
"Whoa! No way! Amazing, amazing! The real, the real cool beauty, Rie-sama!"
Suddenly, Kasai-san's energy shifted to something strange.
"W-Wait! Please stop! People are watching!"
Rie-tan desperately tried to stop Kasai-san, who had knelt down and started worshipping her, his face flushed.
By the way, Rie-tan really is a huge celebrity!
As expected of someone with over 400,000 channel subscribers!
"Ah, thank you! I'll treasure this forever!!"
"I-I get it, I get it! Please, just stop that!"
Later... the worshipper Kasai-san took a 2-shot photo with Rie-tan (of course, Kasai-san was kneeling) and left satisfied after getting Rie-tan's autograph.
"Wow... Amamiya."
"W-well, it's not like that! They were just a fan! It's not like I'm into them or anything...!!"
"Huh? I-I mean, that's not what I was saying..."
"Wha!? S-stop it! You big twit, Sagawa!!"
"Seriously, calling me a twit (otankonasu)? Aren't you using an old term?!"
"..."
Wait...?
What is this exchange?
Didn't it say 'romantic comedy' in the tags?
(Squishy)
Feeling overwhelmed by the romantic comedy energy that left the self-proclaimed protagonist behind, we entered the guild.
Ahhhh... I wish I could find a 'wall' for sale somewhere!!
After that, we went to the reception and signed up for D streamer activities, completing the registration for D streamer and installing the D Vision app, just like we did last time at Omega.
"Clan name 'Hero Brigade'... registration complete. Congratulations!"
"""Thank you very much!"""
Thus, our clan... 'Hero Brigade' was successfully registered.
"Alright then, let's meet at the dungeon entrance after we change."
"Yeah."
"Got it."
We headed to the changing room to switch into our 'Seeker suits.'
By the way, the Seeker suit is, simply put, something like a powered suit, as I was told by the two.
...By the way, I didn't know such things existed during Omega.
Well, even if I did know, there wasn't really an option to not wear a 'custom outfit' during Omega!
By the way, the powered suit has a somewhat plain design using gray and black, but it seems to offer decent defense with features like 'lightweight, shock absorption, and stab resistance,' mainly worn by rookie Seekers.
Of course, it's rented.
According to the rumors, it seems that Rie-tan and Sagawa are using this powered suit.
As for Sagawa, who is F-Class, I wondered if Rie-tan, already a D-Class with over 400,000 subscribers as a D-Streamer, could buy something better than a ready-made one.
"Well, I'm considering it... but I'm still a bit unsure..."
"?"
Apparently, the Seeker suits that are not ready-made for women are quite flashy and revealing.
Of course, there's no doubt that they are superior to the ready-made powered suits rented from the guild.
However, it seems Rie-tan has considerable resistance to wearing a revealing Seeker suit, yet she struggles with the desire to wear a Seeker suit with higher defense than the ready-made ones...
"For now, I can manage Seeker activities with the ready-made powered suit, so I don't plan to buy one at the moment."
That's what she said.
By the way, the C-Class clan 'Valkyrie' that I helped before were properly wearing Seeker suits.
Of course, they were definitely 'revealing'.
Indeed, seeing that, it's understandable that the still-active JK Rie-tan would feel embarrassed.
...However, personally, I really want Rie-tan to wear a 'Seeker suit'.
In fact, in the chat section of Rie-tan's channel,
──────────────────
: Cool beauty Rie-sama! Please! I beg you to consider the Seeker suit!
: If it's Rie, she'd totally rock a Seeker suit~ 👀
: With your skills as the maiden sword saint, you'd look amazing in "Kongou Oran" or "Chouka Tenran"! (Hmph!)
: Got a Seeker suit you've got your eye on? Let me know!
I'll toss some donations your way!!! 💸
──────────────────
It seems that comments filled with enthusiasm from viewers often come up.
Whoa!
Of course, I want it too!!
Let's look forward to Rie-tan's change of heart in the future.
"Then, shall we go?"
"Yo!"
"Yeah, let's go!"
Having finished our preparations, we gathered at the entrance of the dungeon, stepping into Shinjuku Gyoen Dungeon for our clan's first dungeon exploration, spurred on by Rie-tan's rallying call.
