Chapter 33 Side 1
2-25.1. Bulletin Board Thread 《Shura Girls’ Journey Log》
18:46 Japan Time.
A single video was uploaded to a site called ‘Earth-san TV’ that suddenly appeared on the internet.
When the video begins, it first shows Earth-san from space.
This wasn’t the Earth we knew.
Somehow, Earth-san was enveloped in a jade-green aura.
Apparently, this was the opening sequence for ‘Earth-san TV’.
After this, the screen fades to black and a warning message appears:
・This video is being shown because it was the world’s first dungeon conquest, not all explorers will have their adventures filmed like this.
・Generally, you must record your own dungeon exploits.
・However, exceptional achievements may be highlighted.
・Copyright? Portrait rights? Don’t know what you’re talking about.
Such things were written there.
The main video runs for a full 3 hours.
Since Meiko’s adventure spanned 4 days, you could tell much had been edited out beforehand.
It begins at Meiko’s home, clearly showing her exasperation at her father’s lethargic gaze. Meiko’s dad suffered major psychological damage within the first minute.
The scene shifts to meeting Sasara.
After encountering Lulu by chance, the tall friend’s heart skips a beat at Lulu’s adorable belief that Pekatwo really exists.
During their mountain climb, they discover a shrine and have a photoshoot.
For some reason, Earth-san TV’s camera angles perfectly capture the faint pink vortex blending into the cherry blossom carpet.
Then, after much frolicking, the three get swallowed by the vortex.
What follows is a chronological digest, but viewers could painfully understand just what kind of adventure Meiko’s group had been through.
Some marveled at seeing Meiko’s magic for the first time.
Others were captivated by the seemingly endless red torii gates and scenery.
Some sympathized with Lulu and Sasara’s grief after killing their first Pellet Rabbit.
Others nervously watched Meiko’s strange confidence around treasure chests.
Some were too creeped out by the Japanese doll to go to the bathroom…and I have one displayed in my entranceway…
Viewers learned about safety zones and what Jobs were. Many countries hadn’t even announced these dungeon mechanics yet.
In some countries, people jumped up shouting “NINJAAAAAA” when Lulu got her amazing Job.
Incidentally, other countries got dubbed versions.
With mysterious annotations for Japanese idioms.
Despite being a single video, each viewer saw it in their own language with understandable annotations. And since the dub used the trio’s actual voices, the technology made even less sense.
Another inexplicable thing, the video couldn’t be copied by any means.
Not even by directly filming a computer screen with a camera.
Opening any recording media just showed an endless loop of Earth-san’s aura-clad image.
And so, the three girls’ Infinite Torii journey continued.
People worldwide would be shocked countless times today by the three girls’ boss battle.

This is an Earth-san TV discussion thread about dungeons.
For hardcore dungeon/skill analysis, go elsewhere.
※Think before posting!
Baseless slander may reduce your karma!
Next thread should be declared by whoever catches >>980.
All I can say is, these girls are insane!
2, Anonymous Shura
First post, nice.
Cried at the end.
3, Anonymous Shura
First post, nice.
Hey 2, don’t jump straight to the end.
Think normally, what a waste.
4, Anonymous Shura
Oh, already made? GJ.
Which part was best for you guys?
Like 3 said, let’s hold off on post-final battle stuff.
5, Anonymous Shura
Post-bath scene. Why cut the actual bathing part?
6, Anonymous Shura
That’s why you’re hopeless!
For me, it’s when Sasara-chan and Lulu-chan said they’d fight too early on.
7, Anonymous Shura
>6 I get it.
Was so moved I almost cried.
8, Anonymous Meiko Cultist
Obviously when Meiko-sama stayed up synthesizing her comrades’ gear.
So noble.

I mean, I get it but…

I get what 8’s saying but…

When you guys say it like that…hmm…
12, Anonymous Shura
So cat fairies exist huh. Total fantasy.
13, Anonymous Shura
Hey. Wonder what they’re selling.
14, Anonymous Shura
Meiko-chan got a booklet at the end, maybe that explains it?
15, Anonymous Shura
I seriously want that.
Hope some publisher sells it.
16, Anonymous Shura
Bet some publishers already have their eyes on it.
17, Anonymous Shura
That book has practical uses beyond just equipment.
18, Anonymous Shura
? Shouldn’t it be “cute AND practical”?
19, Anonymous Shura
True lol
17, what practical uses besides equipment knowledge? lol
20, Anonymous Meiko Cultist
Virgin?
21, Anonymous Shura
Noah is virgin.
22, Anonymous Shura

Speaking of Noah, isn’t Kismian language adorable!?
23, Anonymous Shura
They say it’s the cutest girl-speak in the world.
24, Anonymous Shura

25, Anonymous Shura
Since the neighboring country has what’s called the world’s most beautiful language, they’re often compared.
26, Anonymous Shura
Back on topic, I liked the fashion show scene.
27, Anonymous Shura
That was wild lol
28, Anonymous Shura
The fashion show was crazy fun lol
Did Earth-san study film techniques?
29, Anonymous Shura
The scene where Lulu-chan goes “nin-nin” rolling happily on tatami got me (´ω`)
30, Anonymous Shura
I know, that’s cheating.
Deserves a spank. Totally get how Meiko-chan felt.
31, Anonymous Shura
Gotta recommend the subsequent Hyakki Yagyo.
I love youkai.
32, Anonymous Shura
I’d love to see that in person too.
33, Anonymous Shura
Pretty sure Meiko-chan’s rant was improvised, right?
34, Anonymous Shura
Tengu being immature as always.
35, Anonymous Shura
But that’s how they got the hidden stage challenge, right?
How does she keep finding these?
36, Anonymous Meiko Cultist
As the Child of Destiny, it is her fate.
37, Anonymous Shura
They keep cutting to reaction shots huh.
38, Anonymous Shura
These girls always strike poses at the coolest lines.
39, Anonymous Shura
My heart raced during their group brawl.
40, Anonymous Shura
Depending on context, they could get handcuffed for that. You okay?
41, Anonymous Shura
It’s fine, they’re the ones getting hit (^_^)
42, Anonymous Shura
That’s definitely not fine.
43, Anonymous Shura
But testing it out is brave.

After all that “no final battle talk” you choose that?

My butt bounced off the sofa.
346, Anonymous Shura
My wife and I both let out this weird “hyah!” sound simultaneously.
347, Anonymous Meiko Cultist
Meiko-sama facing that beast truly proves her supremacy.
348, Anonymous Shura
Seriously though, Meiko-chan facing that thing is insane.
349, Anonymous Shura
Sasara-chan and Lulu-chan were totally freaked out.
350, Anonymous Shura
347 and 348 are saying the same thing, why does it sound so different?
351, Anonymous Shura
Shh!
352, Anonymous Shura
>349 But when I saw the two finally charge in, I almost cried.
353, Anonymous Shura
Nothing wrong with crying. I straight up wept.
That kind of charge takes more than half-baked friendship.
354, Anonymous Shura
What even was that fight afterward?
I rewatched it 5 times.
355, Anonymous Shura
They started going superhuman after the second mountain, but the final battle was next-level.
356, Anonymous Shura
I rewatched 10 times.
Especially after that quake attack, insane.
357, Anonymous Shura
That sliding bite? Thought Meiko-chan was done for.
358, Anonymous Shura
Even knowing she survives, it’s understandable lol
359, Anonymous Shura
Seriously though, Meiko-chan pushes too hard.
That final taunt? Worried about her screws loosening.
360, Anonymous Shura
That move. Took me 5 rewatches to understand it.
361, Anonymous Shura
After some rewatches, realized how cool the dragon’s quake AOE was. Enemy or not.
362, Anonymous Shura
Unfortunately, I get that. Enemy or not, that stone pavement explosion has a certain romance.
363, Anonymous Shura
Gotta vote for their seamless teamwork (‘ω’)ノ
364, Anonymous Shura
They coordinated perfectly without even speaking. Puts veteran gamers to shame.
365, Anonymous Shura
After seeing Lulu-chan’s neck climb at the end, I decided to become NINJAAA.
What was that move? Stabbing eyes with sickles while jumping? Too intense.
366, Anonymous Shura
NINJA is OP. Definitely a top-tier final evolution Job.
367, Anonymous Shura
Pretty sure every Shumerican thinks the same.
368, Anonymous Shura
Is NINJA just for Shumericans?
369, Anonymous Shura
Nah. Popular in Europe too.
Probably popular in Japan normally too.
370, Anonymous Shura
Regardless, those outfits were adorable (゜∀゜)
Made the battles 10x more fun.
371, Anonymous Shura
>370 True.
372, Anonymous Shura
Their skills were amazing regardless, but the outfits amplified the final battle feel.
373, Anonymous Shura
That finale…
I’ve never cried with friends like that.
374, Anonymous Shura
Relax, most people haven’t.
375, Anonymous Shura
What I envied most wasn’t their strength, but seeing all three crying together.
376, Anonymous Shura
I totally get it, but stop, it hurts.
377, Anonymous Shura

378, Anonymous Shura
If I go to a dungeon, can I find friendships like that?

382, Anonymous Shura
No crying lol

Say it with pride lol
394, Anonymous Shura
For emotional impact, Meiko-chan’s pre-boss line.
That’d make anyone happy.
395, Anonymous Shura
If someone said that to me face-to-face, I’d definitely fall for them.
396, Anonymous Shura
New confession template just dropped.
397, Anonymous Shura
Before a boss fight, “You and I are the world’s strongest duo.”
If you get to that point alone together, any confession would succeed!

That said, wasn’t the dungeon clear reward kinda weak?
498, Anonymous Shura
How?
They got enough money for 3-4 sets of starter gear, +20 magic power, tons of recipes, plus a magazine?
499, Anonymous Shura
But Infinite Torii dungeon itself had no first-clear reward, right?
That feels weak.
500, Anonymous Shura
If all dungeons had first-clear rewards, it’d be chaos.
People would overextend and die everywhere. World-first is enough.
501, Anonymous Shura
I guess…
502, Anonymous Shura
>498 Magazine! You mean booklet?
Either way, I seriously want it!
503, Anonymous Shura
Hmm, still feels lackluster for risking your life.

The Self-Defense Forces will read it, right?

508, Anonymous Shura
It’ll get grimy, right?
509, Anonymous Shura
Pages will stick together, right?
510, Anonymous Shura
When we finally get it, “Dammit! Meiko-chan’s pages are all stuck together…!”
511, Anonymous Shura
Why Meiko-chan? lol
512, Anonymous Shura
>503 You’re thinking from their perspective.
Others can train in other dungeons. Though first-timers do risk their lives.
Also, those magic boost orbs are huge, no?
513, Anonymous Shura
You’ll pass around the original? lol
Just print it lol
514, Anonymous Shura
>503 +20 magic is huge. +60 for three.
Shara-tan could only fire Slash Sword ~4 times, now gets +2.5 more.
515, Anonymous Shura
True, that’s a massive boost.
516, Anonymous Shura
Hey, Meiko-chan’s group took tons of photos, right?
Will those get released?
517, Anonymous Shura
Magic boost is no joke.
I drain my magic daily training, still only at 12.

BTW. Meiko-chan took photos in the first dungeon too.
I saw them at Aozora Training Dojo.
