Chapter 53: Thread 5: Beyond Human Limits

37: Anonymous Explorer

The thread's moving way too fast!

38: Anonymous Explorer

It can't be helped.

39: Anonymous Explorer

We've burned through like 20 threads just for this morning's stream, right?

40: Anonymous Explorer

Reason for ending the exploration: "Just kind of got tired."

Record: 86th floor.

41: Anonymous Explorer

Wait… seriously?

42: Anonymous Explorer

EX-rank explorers can do anything, huh?

43: Anonymous Explorer

Here's what we learned this time:

– Kamishiro Rion is a beautiful but disappointing person.

– Kamishiro Rion and Kisaragi-kun are like a messy older sister and her long-suffering younger brother.

– Kisaragi-kun can make it rain whenever he feels like it.

– Magic compression is being researched in America.

– The boss of the 75th floor is some kind of weird dragon.

– Explorers can fly (??????)

– Kisaragi-kun can summon gods (?????????)

– The 86th floor is a beach.

＞＞43

Too much information!

45: Anonymous Explorer

It doesn't make any sense.

46: Anonymous Explorer

Even watching the stream left me confused.

– Explorers can fly (??????)

?????????

48: Anonymous Explorer

No, they can't.

49: Anonymous Explorer

But Kamishiro Rion was flying!

50: Anonymous Explorer

Don't try to apply logic to EX-ranks. That's the takeaway from this thread.

51: Anonymous Explorer

True.

52: Anonymous Explorer

What's happening…?

53: Anonymous Explorer

I was at work and missed the stream, but I can tell it was chaotic.

54: Anonymous Explorer

Trust me, even if you watched it, it still didn't make sense.

55: Anonymous Explorer

Here's what viewers learned today:

– Kisaragi-kun is amazing.

– Kamishiro Rion is amazing.

56: Anonymous Explorer

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

57: Anonymous Explorer

– Kamishiro Rion is an idiot.

– Kisaragi-kun is a little odd.

58: Anonymous Explorer

You'd know Kamishiro Rion is an idiot if you've followed her on social media.

59: Anonymous Explorer

Is she really that bad?

60: Anonymous Explorer

She mostly just posts pictures, though.

61: Anonymous Explorer

So many brain-breaking moments today.

62: Anonymous Explorer

Isn't Asagao-chan just too good for him?

63: Anonymous Explorer

No one in the country is on Asagao's level except for three other people.

64: Anonymous Explorer

So, EX Reiman isn't as ridiculous as I thought?

65: Anonymous Explorer

Even Jinguji Kaede managed to solo the Takayama Dungeon to the bottom.

66: Anonymous Explorer

EX-ranks are just built differently…

67: Anonymous Explorer

Wait, really?

68: Anonymous Explorer

Wasn't she part of a party? I'm confused.

69: Anonymous Explorer

Jinguji Kaede is known as the fastest explorer, right?

70: Anonymous Explorer

But how accurate is that claim?

71: Anonymous Explorer

I'm gonna suggest on social media that they collab with Jinguji Kaede next!

72: Anonymous Explorer

At this point, I want to see all the EX explorers.

The dungeon world is in chaos after today's stream.

74: Anonymous Explorer

No surprise there.

75: Anonymous Explorer

I expected as much.

76: Anonymous Explorer

Dungeon researchers on social media are losing their minds.

77: Anonymous Explorer

Well, it is the deep floors.

78: Anonymous Explorer

It's no wonder people are freaking out after so much new information was revealed at once.

Stop laughing at them.

Poor guy…

I can't see the image right now, bad connection. Can someone explain?

84: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞79

That's just sad.

85: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞83

The official Explorer Association account posted an update about the new record set in the Shibuya Dungeon, then immediately followed up with a sigh.

86: Anonymous Explorer

EX-ranks, man…

87: Anonymous Explorer

Maybe we shouldn't let EX-ranks meet each other.

88: Anonymous Explorer

We need to keep them separated and under control.

89: Anonymous Explorer

Can we even control monsters like that?

90: Anonymous Explorer

They can fly, remember?

91: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞90

Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

92: Anonymous Explorer

This whole situation is a mess.

93: Anonymous Explorer

Everything is just chaos now.

94: Anonymous Explorer

The Dungeon boards, the Kamishiro Rion fan forums, the researchers, the Explorer Association, and the dungeon streaming community…

They're all losing their minds.

95: Anonymous Explorer

What have you done, Kisaragi-kun?

96: Anonymous Explorer

This is basically a coup.

97: Anonymous Explorer

It's practically an overthrow of the government.

98: Anonymous Explorer

We might get an official press conference from the government at this rate.

99: Anonymous Explorer

The Dungeon Ministry is definitely going to hold a press conference.

100: Anonymous Explorer

It's been years since we had a new record for the highest floor reached… And the exploration ended because "he got tired."

101: Anonymous Explorer

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

102: Anonymous Explorer

It's always been insane, so don't worry.

103: Anonymous Explorer

How can anyone be calm after this?

104: Anonymous Explorer

The archived stream is blowing up with views.

105: Anonymous Explorer

What are we even supposed to do now?

106: Anonymous Explorer

What's Kisaragi-kun's next stream going to be like?

107: Anonymous Explorer

There's no point in predicting it.

108: Anonymous Explorer

He could probably get a million views just by rolling a pencil.

109: Anonymous Explorer

It's always a mess, and yet I can't stop watching.

110: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun just became my favorite streamer.

111: Anonymous Explorer

Does he have a lot of female fans?

112: Anonymous Explorer

Maybe not?

113: Anonymous Explorer

I bet he's got a lot of female explorer fans, though.

114: Anonymous Explorer

Definitely.

115: Anonymous Explorer

Most of his viewers are probably explorers in general.

116: Anonymous Explorer

His audience seems pretty young.

117: Anonymous Explorer

The government should treat Kisaragi-kun with more care.

118: Anonymous Explorer

There's already an anti-thread about Kisaragi-kun.

119: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞118

Lol.

120: Anonymous Explorer

Not surprised.

121: Anonymous Explorer

Once you get an anti-thread, you know you've made it big.

122: Anonymous Explorer

His channel just hit a million subs too.

123: Anonymous Explorer

Wait, seriously?

124: Anonymous Explorer

That's way too fast, lol.

125: Anonymous Explorer

Both the anti-thread and the subs count are exploding, huh?

126: Anonymous Explorer

I'm dying of laughter.

127: Anonymous Explorer

He's an EX explorer, streaming, and now he's got a ton of haters.

128: Anonymous Explorer

The anti-thread is moving fast with angry comments, lol.

129: Anonymous Explorer

It's full of jealous posts, and it's hilarious.

130: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞129

Don't call it jealousy or they'll get mad.

131: Anonymous Explorer

I've seen the hate comments on social media too. He's been getting a lot of flak lately.

132: Anonymous Explorer

It's because he's collabing with Asagao-chan and showing off his absurd strength.

133: Anonymous Explorer

It's like he's one of us, but with insane powers, so people are picking on him.

134: Anonymous Explorer

If he were more serious, maybe he wouldn't get so much hate…

135: Anonymous Explorer

If he were serious, he wouldn't be streaming at all.

136: Anonymous Explorer

The anti-thread people will never beat him, though.

137: Anonymous Explorer

Jealousy is real, huh?

138: Anonymous Explorer

All the wrong types of people are gathering in that anti-thread, lol.

139: Anonymous Explorer

So much happened in just one day.

140: Anonymous Explorer

– 20 threads burned through in a few hours.

– His stream hit #1 trending worldwide.

– An anti-thread got created.

– Jealous trolls invaded.

– Social media is blowing up with replies.

141: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞140

This plus the list from earlier… It's all insane.

142: Anonymous Explorer

This is just too much, lol.

143: Anonymous Explorer

I bet we'll start seeing a ton of "deep floor analysis" videos soon based on Kisaragi-kun's stream.

144: Anonymous Explorer

Fake analysis videos are always fun.

145: Anonymous Explorer

I love those deep-dive videos.

146: Anonymous Explorer

Do you think Kisaragi-kun will respond to the anti-thread?

147: Anonymous Explorer

He's too busy for that, I bet.

148: Anonymous Explorer

The anti-threaders are just playing by themselves.

149: Anonymous Explorer

Isn't that always the case?

150: Anonymous Explorer

Ah..

151: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞149

True that.

152: Anonymous Explorer

Lol.

153: Anonymous Explorer

He's probably too busy to care about his haters.

154: Anonymous Explorer

Do you think he'll add a donation feature?

155: Anonymous Explorer

There aren't even any ads on his streams.

156: Anonymous Explorer

He should at least enable ads, right?

157: Anonymous Explorer

He's probably already swimming in money, though.

158: Anonymous Explorer

So jealous.

159: Anonymous Explorer

By the way, his next stream is apparently going to be a "Dungeon Basics" class.

160: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞159

Wait, seriously… you're doing this now?

161: Anonymous Explorer

That's probably a contract stream for the Association, lol.

162: Anonymous Explorer

What even are "dungeon basics"?

163: Anonymous Explorer

"Almost dying makes you stronger," or something?

164: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞163

Stop with the fake "basics," lol.

165: Anonymous Explorer

"Use magic, and your enemies will die."

"Don't rely too much on your Shikigami."

Doesn't sound useful at all, lol.

It's his fault, honestly.

170: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞168

Hasn't it always been like this?

171: Anonymous Explorer

Yeah, pretty much.

172: Anonymous Explorer

I'm going to start checking out the anti-thread as a new hobby, lol.

173: Anonymous Explorer

Sounds fun.

174: Anonymous Explorer

Both Kisaragi-kun and the people in this thread are having a blast.

175: Anonymous Explorer

He's having such a huge impact on society as an EX-ranked explorer.

176: Anonymous Explorer

Amazing (in the simplest terms).

177: Anonymous Explorer

He's completely changed the way people view dungeon streams.

178: Anonymous Explorer

EX-rank is just on a whole other level, huh (brain malfunctioning).

179: Anonymous Explorer

Maybe upper-floor streams will become more popular now that people are over the deep floors… Nah, probably not.

180: Anonymous Explorer

No chance.

181: Anonymous Explorer

Upper-floor streamers should switch to gaming streams instead.

182: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞181

Someone already quit dungeon streaming because of him, so don't rub it in.

183: Anonymous Explorer

Wait, really? Lol.

184: Anonymous Explorer

How many dungeon streamers has Kisaragi-kun indirectly forced to retire?

185: Anonymous Explorer

He's probably crushed the spirits of a lot of explorers too.

186: Anonymous Explorer

And he's just out here streaming with the best of intentions!

187: Anonymous Explorer

Monsters like him just don't understand how humans think, huh?

192: Anonymous Explorer

We all thought Kisaragi-kun was human back then…

193: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞189

Ah, the days when we still believed Kisaragi-kun was just a regular human.

194: Anonymous Explorer

Well… looks like he's graduated from being human, lol.

195: Anonymous Explorer

I used to want to be an explorer, but I don't want to stop being human!

196: Anonymous Explorer

Don't worry, it's not that easy to quit being human.

197: Anonymous Explorer

Only EX-ranked people stop being human.

198: Anonymous Explorer

EX Reiman is suddenly the victim of baseless accusations, lol.

199: Anonymous Explorer

Is it really baseless, though?

200: Anonymous Explorer

At this point, I'm starting to believe EX Reiman is also an EX-rank in the truest sense.

201: Anonymous Explorer

I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

202: Anonymous Explorer

I used to think EX Reiman was just a corporate drone.

203: Anonymous Explorer

Jinguji Kaede and Kamishiro Rion are both monsters, so it's no use.

204: Anonymous Explorer

Is there any way they aren't monsters?

205: Anonymous Explorer

They're definitely scary people.

206: Anonymous Explorer

I fully expect EX Reiman to be just as insane!

207: Anonymous Explorer

At this point, it'd be scarier if they were normal.

208: Anonymous Explorer

They're EX-ranks. Of course they're not normal.

209: Anonymous Explorer

A few weeks ago, I would've denied this, but after seeing Kamishiro Rion and Kisaragi-kun… Yeah, it's obvious now.

210: Anonymous Explorer

I thought they were just slightly above human, but they're full-blown monsters now. Their only human trait is their appearance.

211: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞210

That's brutal, lol.
