Chapter 7
“Yahho, everyone! Hello!
Sorry for worrying you all last time!”
The livestream began with the saint’s bright greeting.
The entire Hero Party bowed their heads together.
(I’m so glad they’re safe!)
(Wait, the Black Knight is real?)
(This isn’t some kind of special effects stunt?)
(Black Knight search already started lol)
(Happy we get to see the Saint again!)
“Today, we’re taking a break from dungeon exploring,
so we’ll be doing a Q&A and giving a quick status report!
First of all—we’re all safe!
And no, this wasn’t special effects!!!
We were really about to die,
and the Black Knight saved us!”
(‘Black Knight-sama’ lol)
(Black Knight = strongest!)
(I AM the Black Knight!)
(Every country’s trying to find him apparently)
(He’s on a wanted list lmao)
“I want to say thank you too! Thank you, Black Knight!”
said the magic girl.
Her body had been covered in severe burns,
yet now she was perfectly healthy.
Because the Black Knight had poured Elixir on her.
“Thanks, Black Knight,”
said the tank. His damaged organs,
even his old injuries, were completely healed.
“…”
The hero found it hard to say thanks.
Sure, he’d had his cool moment—
risking himself to save the Saint he liked,
even confessing to her.
But then… the disgrace afterward.
He’d wet himself in terror before the demon’s killing intent.
And of course, the viewers only clipped that.
They laughed, made memes, and earned ad revenue.
No one cared about his heroic moment anymore.
The Black Knight had stolen every bit of the spotlight.
Even his childhood friend, the Saint—
though she was likely just grateful—
was now looking at another man.
It annoyed the hero to no end.
“Okay, I’ll start picking some questions to answer!
Let’s see…
Oh, is the Elixir real?
Well, we can’t really prove it,
but the fact is, all of us healed completely
without any aftereffects.
We were hospitalized for checkups,
and every single one of us was perfectly healthy!
Next—how strong was the demon?
You’ve probably seen it in the videos already,
but honestly, we didn’t stand a chance.
That’s why we’re training hard again
so we can handle things next time.
Oh, and the demon’s magic stone
that the Black Knight defeated—it’s being kept
by the Japanese government.
Apparently, if someone can prove they’re the Black Knight,
they’ll either hand over the stone
or pay one hundred million yen.”
(Well yeah, Elixirs never existed before…)
(But the magic girl’s skin, scalp, even her hair fully recovered—)
(And the tank’s internal organs were healed too,
so it’s pretty convincing.)
(Modern medicine or healing magic couldn’t do that.)
(The Black Knight’s power is insane.)
(Only the Saint actually saw him, though…)
(Proof, huh?)
(Like, ID?)
(I want that hundred million! I’M the Black Knight!)
(What was he like? Didn’t he say the Saint was beautiful?)
“Well, judging by the voice, I think he was male!
He was really tall too.
I couldn’t see his face,
but his voice made me feel safe.
He took down that demon in one blow—he was amazing!
I don’t know if what he used was really an Elixir,
but I’d like to repay him somehow.
If you’re watching this, Black Knight-sama,
please contact us!
Eh? He said I was beautiful?
R–really? I didn’t know that…”
Her cheeks flushed red, shy but happy,
remembering the Black Knight’s words.
“Enough about the Black Knight already!
He’s not coming forward,
and even if someone does, they’ll probably be a weak fraud!
He’s probably hiding something shady, that’s why!
Anyway, our next challenge will be unprecedented—
we’re heading to the lower than lower floors,
the deepest layer, floor 31!”
The hero spoke heatedly, sulking.
“That’s no way to talk…”
murmured the Saint, looking down.
“You shouldn’t say things like that!”
snapped the magic girl.
“Tch!”
The hero clicked his tongue.
“Well, whatever. It’s a fresh start for us,”
the tank said with a grin.
(Hang in there, hero…)
(That’s what you get for trying to flirt with the Saint!)
(Serves you right!)
(‘Peeing Hero’ lol)
“What did you just say, you bastards?!”
the hero shouted in rage.
“Everyone, stop!
Let’s end the stream for today…
See you next time!”
The Saint forcibly ended the livestream.
“Damn it!! What’s so great about that Black Knight?!
Damn it all!!”
The hero clenched his fists, breathing heavily.
“Let’s just rest for today, okay?
Everyone’s still mentally exhausted.”
The party members walked away in silence.
The Saint couldn’t help but worry
if their team would really be okay.
“Back in Japan again!”
At that very moment—
deep inside the Tokyo Dungeon, 30th floor—
in the boss room where the last chaos had occurred,
the Black Knight once again transferred in
from another world.
