I just subscribed to Kanakon-chan. From now on, I'll be watching both Kisaragi-kun and Asagao-chan at the same time.

Same here. By the way, Kanakon-chan is a full-time streamer, so she streams a lot during the day. As for Asagao-chan and Kisaragi-kun, they have school and requests, so a daytime streaming slot might be perfect for them.
75: Anonymous Explorer
It couldn't be helped. She was just too cute.
76: Anonymous Explorer
And from now on, she'll be a mid-floor streamer, right? I have to watch.
77: Anonymous Explorer
Kisaragi-kun should train more explorers. Then I'll watch those streamers.
78: Anonymous Explorer
Lol.
79: Anonymous Explorer
It's like Kisaragi-kun is a talent scout for underdog streamers. But honestly, he has a great eye for finding talented people.
80: Anonymous Explorer
He said he's been keeping an eye on her for a while. He definitely watches streams pretty frequently.
81: Anonymous Explorer
Wait, can you really tell just by watching streams? I can't spot any differences.
82: Anonymous Explorer
Don't worry, I can't tell either.
83: Anonymous Explorer
All upper-floor streams look the same to me. The only difference I can spot is the weapons.
84: Anonymous Explorer
Maybe explorers can see the differences more easily? If that's the case, I wish he'd find even more interesting people.
85: Anonymous Explorer
He doesn't need to collaborate with them, but I'd like him to at least introduce skilled streamers.
86: Anonymous Explorer
Like "The next breakout star, as seen by EX"?
87: Anonymous Explorer
But didn't Kanakon-chan gain more viewers because she collaborated with Kisaragi-kun and got advice on becoming a mid-floor streamer?
88: Anonymous Explorer
Dude, just focus on doing one deep-floor stream a month and collaborate the rest of the time to train others.
89: Anonymous Explorer
A training streamer? That's hilarious.
90: Anonymous Explorer
Please don't create a whole new genre of streams.
91: Anonymous Explorer
It's no surprise Kisaragi-kun took notice. I didn't get what was so special about her at first, but by the end of the stream, she was like a different person.
92: Anonymous Explorer

Well, the training was brutal, though.
93: Anonymous Explorer
It can't be helped. To survive the mid-floors, you need to push yourself to that level.
94: Anonymous Explorer
Stop with the "Kisaragi-kun method."

I'd rather take it slow... I don't want to train like I'm about to die.
96: Anonymous Explorer
But in the end, Kisaragi-kun didn't step in to help even once. There were a few close calls, and the comment section was freaking out.
97: Anonymous Explorer
She didn't lose any limbs, right? So it's all good.
98: Anonymous Explorer
Let's recall what Kisaragi-kun casually muttered during the stream:
"If you lose a limb or two, you won't die. And if it happens, can't you just reattach them?"
Is this guy insane?
99: Anonymous Explorer
You have to be a bit crazy to become EX.

Stop being so blunt!
101: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, but still… there has to be something more to it, right!?
102: Anonymous Explorer
Well, it's the mid-floors we're talking about… maybe it's just necessary?
103: Anonymous Explorer
Y'all are way too conditioned by now.
104: Anonymous Explorer
Meanwhile, the anti-thread exploded again.

Just ignore them.
106: Anonymous Explorer
"They should report this if Kanakon gets hurt. This is practically abuse!"
These are the kind of people we're dealing with. Don't expect to have a rational conversation.
107: Anonymous Explorer

She agreed to the training herself. Also, while he didn't step in, Kisaragi-kun did secretly take care of a few extra monsters and dealt with some that snuck up behind her.
108: Anonymous Explorer

He does it so casually that you barely notice, but he's doing insane stuff.
109: Anonymous Explorer
It really reminds you he's EX level.
110: Anonymous Explorer
I'd be willing to risk some injuries if it meant getting that strong. I want Kisaragi-kun to train me too.
111: Anonymous Explorer

He's mostly just helping people hone their natural talents. It's not something anyone can do. I mean, I have no clue how to circulate magic, so it'd be impossible for me.
112: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, it's tough.
113: Anonymous Explorer

Even if you paid him, you'd still need talent. Kanakon-chan is good at manipulating and circulating magic, which is why she benefited from the training.
114: Anonymous Explorer
I heard that EX Salaryman is the best at magic manipulation and circulation. He must be a close-combat monster with insane circulation.
115: Anonymous Explorer
He carries a shield too, so I'm betting he uses manipulation to make himself a tank.
116: Anonymous Explorer
Apparently, Kisaragi said Jinguuji Kaede is the most insane when it comes to using magic. Even he doesn't get how she does it.
117: Anonymous Explorer
Wait, not Kamishiro Rion?
118: Anonymous Explorer
??117
I thought so too.
119: Anonymous Explorer
What's the next stream going to be?
120: Anonymous Explorer
??119
Probably more of Kanakon-chan's training, right?
121: Anonymous Explorer
Bring out Jinguuji Kaede next time.
122: Anonymous Explorer
I want to see him dive into the deep floors with EX Salaryman.
123: Anonymous Explorer
EX Salaryman is mostly involved in teaching B rank and higher explorers, so maybe Kisaragi-kun could tag along?
124: Anonymous Explorer
Would that even count as teaching?
125: Anonymous Explorer
Absolutely not. I guarantee it.
126: Anonymous Explorer

The lack of faith is hilarious.

Next, he should collaborate with Panda. I bet after this stream, he's getting flooded with collaboration requests.
128: Anonymous Explorer
??127
Of course, he raised Kanakon-chan from E-rank to D-rank in just one day. But I doubt he'll accept most of the offers.
129: Anonymous Explorer
He usually does pretty casual streams, and even though the collaboration with Kanakon-chan seemed a bit reckless, he clearly did his homework. He knew what kind of weapon she uses, her fighting style, and how well she manipulates magic. So the next new talent discovery collaboration will probably take a while.

That actually makes a lot of sense.
