Chapter 58

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

It was a busy day. There had never been this much going back and forth before. We decided to move out again that very day. We returned to the dungeon once more.

Strictly speaking, it was the guild, but it was right nearby. Haruka-kun performed an unnecessary dance in front of the dungeon, and I captured it on video. This was our starting point. I was the one who suggested it, but Haruka-kun’s dance, even without the skill, was truly splendid.

When he finished dancing, warm applause broke out from the people around us. It felt like if we streamed it, we might earn some pocket money.

“Haruka, could it be, you used to do dance?” (Kouta)

“Yeah, until second year of middle school. I was on a dance team at a studio, but some people quit to study for exams. I stopped then too.” (Haruka)

Somehow… this might become one of those cases where a lie becomes truth. Huh? I’m the one editing this? Impossible!! We even charged into the dungeon and tried doing a victory dance. Like a finishing pose from FF. If it’s like that, it should be easy for viewers to accept.

…Damn ikemen, explode!! From the battle to the finishing blow, he handled everything so smoothly, then struck a final pose with a snap. I almost wanted to cheer for the goblins. I wanted to cast my own [Support Magic] on them!

…That’s a good idea. Right, I can try it out on monsters. That way, I can test whether my [Support Magic] works on others, without anyone finding out.

“Kouta, was that good enough?” (Haruka-kun)

Oops, gotta stop the recording. This rough, amateur-like feeling should be good, right? It’s the first video after all.

“Okay, perfect.” (Kouta)

So perfect, it makes me want a detonation switch. Really, isn’t he someone who’s been granted everything by the heavens… except height? No, maybe it’s because of the dancing?

I’ve heard this before. Gymnasts apparently build too much muscle all over and it interferes with height growth. Maybe he’s the same? Also, he said he quit dancing in middle school… which means he might still gain height from here!?

Detonation switch, detonation switch! I’m gonna spam it!! Oops, not good.

We were supposed to film a few more versions to compare, but I ended up wiping out all the goblins before I realized it.

Phew ♪

“Kouta’s goblin-slaying scene might go more viral, don’t you think?” (Haruka)

“Thanks, Haruka. But you see, in entertainment, appearance matters too.” (Kouta)

“You think so?” (Haruka)

“Yeah, it does. Also, recently, I’ve started to vaguely understand the meaning behind movements in the martial arts videos I’ve been referencing. My current sloppy movements are too embarrassing to upload.” (Kouta)

That video is seriously amazing. Even though it’s a solo demonstration, watching it completely draws you in. Since dungeons appeared, many martial artists have been posting videos, but that one video… it really hits me somehow.

“It’s that impressive?” (Haruka)

“Yeah. Haruka, if you’ve got free time, you should try watching movements from martial artists you like. It’ll be a good reference.” (Kouta)

“Learn from the movements of skilled people, huh. Got it, I’ll give it a try.” (Haruka-kun)

This time wasn’t good. Especially my footwork, it was sloppy and exaggerated. With this, I’ll never get close to the person in that video. Yeah, ideal footwork… like that guild Onee-san’s…

Who even is that person?
