Blunt Type Ogre Girl's Way to Live Streaming Chapter 217

Sorry for the delay.

It's been a while since I had so much fun while writing a story, and accidentally the amount of text grew so big. Anyway, I'm splitting it into the first and second halves.

This one is the third-longest chapter. {tln: yeah, I noticed…}

<↑Gasp!> {this is retort exchange originated from 2chan… dammit how to explain this}

<↑Your response is too fast>

The time is 7:55 at night.

The total number of viewers who had gathered to watch Nana's stream exceeded 400,000 before the stream began. The stream itself will officially start at 8:00 pm.

Most of them were curious people who had seen the video of Nana destroying Bari-Bari Health-kun via social networking and review sites or news sites.

Even so, considering that the average number of viewers to Nana's channel is about 1,000, this current number was certainly off the charts.

With such a large audience, the streaming screen lit up unexpectedly even before it was time for the show to start.

What was shown on the screen was the girl that everyone was looking for.

She had plain black eyes, and her hair was short and neatly styled. She also wore a black hoodie with the HEROES logo.

Everyone who came to this webcast knew this was [Nana].

Because these hundreds of thousands of viewers are here because they have seen the video of her smashing the machine.

Although.

The Nana they saw apparently looked different from what they imagined.

She was sitting on a large chair with her mouth slightly open and her eyes looking in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

At a glance, one could see that her expression was either blank or absent-minded. It was clear that she didn't realize the recording had started.

After two minutes became amusement material for the comment section, Nana finally noticed something.

She furrowed her brow and tilted her head slightly.

“Why are you laughing, Rin-chan?”

“…, I'm not, I'm not laughing.”

“You're lying. You're holding back your laughter.”

“It's just your imagination. There's no way I did.”

“Mmm, if that's what you say, Rin-chan.”

<*shocked*>

When Rinne insisted that she had done nothing, Nana stopped pursuing her and began to space out again.

However, she soon realized that something was wrong, and she again looked doubtful.

“What have you been glancing at since a moment ago? Maybe the stream has already started?”

“Yes, of course. It has started.”

“……..ee!”

<↑ I don't think that counts as a couple's comedy.>

Seeing Nana surprised by Rinne's teasing, the comments were again lively.

Not many current viewers ever watched Nana's video when she was interviewed.

If they had seen it, they would have understood that Nana has more normal sensibilities than they thought, but she is seen as a monster who destroyed a punching machine in many viewers' minds.

That's why they were surprised at how funny the stream began, and their prejudice about what kind of monster Nana is quickly dissipated.

“Um …… umm …… good afternoon?”

“I've got plenty of money. Also, your comments cannot be seen by Nana.”

“Rin-chan is helping me with this stream. I was the one who asked for her help today.”

Then Nana giggled. She is certainly in a good mood.

Nana is used to streaming on WLO, but she has only streamed a few times in the real world, so she leaves the settings to Rinne to make sure nothing is out of place.

Therefore, Rinne, who is fully responsible for the operation of the video camera and streaming, can see all comments from viewers, but Nana can only see Rinne operate the tablet device and camera.

She decided to leave what she should answer to Rinne.

By the way, the all-language translation option is the most expensive option on LIVERS as a video posting site.

It is a function that automatically translates the language into the official language of all countries where the video can be viewed in exchange for a hefty fee of 100.000 yen per use.

If you are watching in Japan, all words, including comments, will be displayed in Japanese, and if you are watching in the UK, they will be in English.

Viewers themselves can also choose a translated language that is not an official language, as long as it is a language that is supported by LIVERS.

This is a useful option for companies when streaming worldwide, Rinne has anticipated audiences from various countries, which is why the function is used now.

Rinne also showed herself in front of the camera.

“I'm going to start banning the ones that talk shit to me. You guys okay with it, right?”

<#LuckyMe.>

“Well, no need to be concerned with me today. You didn't come here to see me either.”

They may have never seen Nana, but some have seen Rinne.

Rinne tries to shift the focus of these viewers to Nana, the star of the show.

Seeing this, Nana denied it while shaking her head.

“I think there are many people who want to see you, Rinne.”

“Let's ban the first person who makes a comment like that.”

“No, you can't, okay?”

“Ufufufu.”

“What's wrong?”

“Everyone says Nana is sweet.”

“Ehehe, is that so?”

“Well, Nana, Let's get down to business.”

“Sure.”

As the excitement in the comments section accelerates, Rinne quickly move on with their schedule.

Originally, the purpose of today's stream was to let people get to know [Nana], which is somewhat different from the usual [just chat] session where they will respond to people's comments.

For Rinne, it's her job to simplify this event so that Nana would not be overburdened.

In contrast to Rinne, who was surprisingly attentive and supportive of the stream in spite of her teasing, Nana kept her relaxed atmosphere.

It was around 8:00 pm when the stream began, and the number of viewers had already exceeded 450,000, but she remained all smiling and happy.

She is not even a bit nervous about the fact that she is under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of viewers, and that's because Nana is not aware of this.

For Nana, this stream is just another session of playing with Rinne.

That's why Nana is in a great mood today.

“Well, once again, thank you for coming today. I'm Nana from the HEROES and VR department. Nice to meet you.”

<(confused) Can't they erase the flat-chested related comment? >

“I've seen your questions before this event started, and I'll pick a few and answer them. As you can see in my background, we're in a gym. We are doing it here because it fits the content. Sorry in advance, because I will not reply to your comment right away.”

<↑Something that she had but never uses? >

“I'll read the questions then. The first one is this.”

[Please give us as much of your profile as you can answer. Height and weight if possible.]

“I'm Nana, 21 years old. As you can see, I'm a female, my birthday is July 7, my height is 155, and I weigh about 42 kilos right now.”

<↑Rinne and her are the same age, so there's no doubt about it.>

< It's almost your birthday then. Happy birthday.>

<8/8, I believe.>

Nana read had her physical measurements taken in advance since this is a sports gym. Now she only needs to read it out loud.

Hearing this, Rinne tilted her head slightly.

“I thought Nana's weight had basically stayed the same, but you're much heavier than you were in middle school?”

“I think I might have gained about five kilos. Well, you see, I wasn't that strong then.”

“It's as if time has stood still, doesn't it?”

“That's just the way it is.”

“That's the way it is.”

<↑ That's just the way it is>

“I'll post your detailed profile on the official HEROES website after I take measurements again.”

“Thank you very much. I'll read the next question.”

[How did you acquire such extraordinary power?]

“I knew this question would come. But I guess I can only answer that I was born with it.”

“Yeah.”

“I don't have any specific training or anything. I have never taken any lessons or participated in any club activities.”

Nana's words are not false.

As far as physical ability is concerned, she has grown so much just by being alive.

She had part-time jobs, and she had learned how to use force so as not to kill people by accident, but as far as physical ability is concerned, she had never experienced any training that enhanced her power.

Considering that she had the power to kill a brown bear with a single blow when she was in elementary school, the only explanation she could give is that she was born with it.

<↑her straight punch will wipe out her opponent from the neck up.>

<↑A simple straight right hand could become an unguardable special move.>

“Nana has only practiced how not to use force against others, right?”

“That's right. Whether it is sports, martial arts, or weaponry, once I see it, I can reproduce it. So, aside from learning how to use them, I have never practiced the techniques.”

“When Nana was little, mother used to show her a lot of martial arts videos.”

“Rin-chan said it was boring and went to bed.”

“Because it was boring.”

“Rin-chan will definitely fail to practice it, right?”

“I know, right?”

<↑You can tell it's Rinne's from the way she called her.> {she was using ohahsama}

<[Definitely fail]. That's an apt description for her athletic level.>

“Exercise is the only thing I can't do.”

“I'm here to replace you, so it's fine.”

In contrast to Nana's athletic prowess, Rinne is hopelessly incompetent at exercise. Even just running is enough to cause her to be exhausted.

It is a well-known fact, and Rinne herself believes that there is nothing she can do about it.

Still, she has no desire to improve because of she believe that her best friend, Nana, will always beside her.

The fact that there is room to rely on each other is a blessing for both Rinne and Nana, so they had no reason to fix it.

“I don't see any reason to dwell over this. Let's go next!”

[If the punches in the video are not fake or processed, you must have a reasonable amount of muscle strength. I would like to see Nana lifting something heavy, like a barbell. With that much power, of course, you can lift 500 kg weight, right?]

“Hmmm. That's quite a long sentence. I wonder why they put this 500 kg standard on it?”

“I think it's because the world record for weightlifting is less than 400 kg. The point is, he's taunting you.”

“Oh, I see.”

<↑Agree, I don't get the point too. What did they gain by using that sarcasm?>

“That's what the gym is for. I'll go grab some barbells.”

“Okay. Don't hurt yourself.”

“The power of a punch is basically speed x weight. So, it's a little different from lifting heavyweights. Even if you don't have muscle strength, your body weight will increase the power of your punches. However, your body has to be strong to lift a weight, so it's not irrelevant.”

<↑her the source of the money perhaps?>

The sound of metal scraping against metal echoes through the gym.

Nana appeared on the screen with not ten or twenty but more than the human eye could count with a glance. She has barbell shafts held in both arms.

She did it as if she were carrying a pencil, but it was a bizarre sight to anyone who could see it.

To explain briefly, the term “shaft” refers to the bar that holds the barbell. The shaft alone weighs at least 10 kilograms, and if it is a heavy one, it must weigh at least 20 kilograms.

In other words, the dozens of shafts that Nana was comfortably carrying weighed well over 200 kilograms.

“I brought it!”

“Welcome home.”

“I brought a lot of stuff because I found some cool designs. What do you think? Does it look like it weighs 500 kilos?”

“Correct, this is Muscle Corporation's (MC) super-heavy barbells. I had a chance to talk to an executive there for a while, and he recommended them to me, so I bought them. But none of the kids in my apartment would use them. And, of course, I also can't. They also said that the shaft is much heavier than conventional ones, so it's very uncomfortable.”

“Usually, you need to put weights on both sides.”

“I think so? Well, I'm not interested in that, so I don't know.”

<↑ha?>

“I'm not faking it. Nana, throw that on the floor for a second.”

“It's fine, but you have to stay away from them. It's dangerous.”

Nana holds the 34 shafts horizontally, and holds them together, then releases them to the floor.

As soon as the shafts hit the floor, a gong ……! The concrete surface of the floor shattered slightly.

“Eh, I can't keep my hands on it if I put them vertically…!”

While the viewers were horrified, Nana was a bit shocked.

“No, of course not. Put it down sideways.”

“I will…”

“Well. I guess we know it's real for now, don't we?”

<↑I know what you mean.>

“I really want to show you something that didn't look like a fake, but this is though, how can I prov–“

As Rinne was tilting her head to think what to do with the viewers' comments, she suddenly heard a sickening cracking sound echo through the air.

She looked back and saw Nana smiling happily while holding a shaft that had been shredded in two.

“Rin-chan, this is amazing! It feels sturdier than steel!”

“…Nana, what are you doing?”

“Oh, sorry. I was just curious. I thought it might break, but it just bent and didn't break, so I tore it.”

Rinne, who had been paying attention to the comments, did not see Nana actually tearing the shaft, but the viewers in front of the screen captured the moment well.

She lifted one of the shafts from the ground, held it near the middle with both hands, and twisted it inward with a quickly.

After a very natural motion that did not seem to require any effort, the metal rod gives up all too easily.

Nana looked at it, tilted her head, folded it back the other way, and finally tore the shaft, shredding its brittle center.

The whole operation took less than two seconds. It all happened in the blink of an eye.

“Fufufu, you're stronger than before…”

While everyone in the room, including Rinne, was donned in awe, Nana had a very happy expression on her face.

Tl note:

… still one more chapter at this length… dammit.
