Volume 2 Chapter 98 One Hour Before Opening
......In the year 202X, on a certain day
That day, even at 6 a.m. early morning, a long line had formed outside Tokyo Dome
"This is Yamada, live! As you can see, many people are lining up at Tokyo Dome's entrance, waiting eagerly for it to open!"
"This is Koyama reporting. Just look at this crowd! Not only Japanese, but foreigners too──they're all here to see the Omega tournament happening today!"
"Hi, this is Koyama! As you can see, they're here for today's Omega tournament..."
All Tokyo's major news outlets are broadcasting live, showing the huge crowd outside the dome, even interviewing some people in line.
"Hello, this is Fuji TV! Where are you guys visiting from today?"
"From Yokohama!"
"Yokohama, huh? Who are you here to see?"
"Of course, Omega-sama! But I also want to see Alexandre Arthur, the number-one in Seeker world ranking!"
"Alexandre Arthur... I see. So that's why!"
"Yeah! I'm so excited!"
"Thanks a lot!"
Even an hour before opening, the outside of the venue was packed with passionate fans, all yelling excitedly about how much they'd been looking forward to this through their microphones.
And that enthusiasm wasn't just in the real world ── it spread across the internet too.

Seriously, Omega-sama's tournament is less than an hour away...
29: Anonymous D-Streamer
The festival is starting
30: Anonymous D-Streamer
Whoa, I'm getting pumped up!!! !!!!
31: Anonymous D-Streamer
Standing completely n*ked, waiting!
32: Anonymous D-Streamer

Why tho? WIIW
33: Anonymous D-Streamer

You're fired up, huh.
34: Anonymous D-Streamer
I mean, this tournament name from Omega-sama...
35: Anonymous D-Streamer
Yeah, that one.
36: Anonymous D-Streamer
"The Exciting Omega-sama Friendship Deepening Tournament"
37: Anonymous D-Streamer
How did it end up like this, lol.
38: Anonymous D-Streamer
Seriously, right? lol
39: Anonymous D-Streamer
Well, I mean... it's Omega-sama, after all.
40: Anonymous D-Streamer
I can't help but feel there's genius in that name!
41: Anonymous D-Streamer
Idiot!
This laid-back vibe *is* Omega-sama, dammit!
42: Anonymous D-Streamer
What's the real deal?
43: Anonymous D-Streamer
It's so half-assed, I'm growing grass here.
44: Anonymous D-Streamer
That's just plain lazy.
45: Anonymous D-Streamer
Phew, at least everyone's still sane.
46: Anonymous D-Streamer
Hey, you guys!
Did you see the Seekers chosen today?!
47: Anonymous D-Streamer
Nah, nah, nah, lol
Who *hasn't* seen them by now? lol
48: Anonymous D-Streamer
At a glance, it's like this:
<Entry>
- Top 10 Seeker world rankers
- Several members from global Seeker guilds
- Several from Omega-sama's "really strong" faction
- Several from the Ware-Ou clan
- Entire Deserted Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad clan
- Entire Valkyrie clan
- Carlos Strong ("Just a bit strong")

Thanks.
50: Anonymous D-Streamer

Fast work.
51: Anonymous D-Streamer
It's because the participation requirement is Seeker Rank B-class or higher, you know.
52: Anonymous D-Streamer
'Just a bit strong', you're gonna join, right?
53: Anonymous D-Streamer
Of course, I'm in.
That person isn't in the top 10, but their rank is around 20th or so.
54: Anonymous D-Streamer
Huh? That little beard guy, he's that good?!
55: Anonymous D-Streamer
Naturally.
Just so you know, that person is an S-class Seeker, right?
56: Anonymous D-Streamer
Plus, their actual strength is said to be close to the top 10.
57: Anonymous D-Streamer
Huh?
58: Anonymous D-Streamer
What?!
59: Anonymous D-Streamer
Oh right, Omega-sama's faction is really strong.
Who else besides the top 10 Seekers is gonna show up?
60: Anonymous D-Streamer
You mean them?
Like Elena Zweikov's clan mates and such?
61: Anonymous D-Streamer
Ah, the 'Three Wise Men'.
I'm pretty sure Mil-kun is a lower A-class ranker and Lilin-chan is a higher B-class ranker, right?
62: Anonymous D-Streamer
That's right.
Those 2 aren't as strong as their leader, Elena-chan, but they're still pretty tough.
63: Anonymous D-Streamer
Anyone else?
64: Anonymous D-Streamer
Besides the list number 48 put out,
there weren't any other famous Seekers, were there?
65: Anonymous D-Streamer
Indeed.
66: Anonymous D-Streamer
Well, but there could be a dark horse, you never know?
67: Anonymous D-Streamer
There's none, for sure.
There aren't any nameless guys above B-class ranker.
68: Anonymous D-Streamer
I think there's a possibility, though?
After all, Omega-sama was like that, right?
69: Anonymous D-Streamer
Ah
70: Anonymous D-Streamer
Ah
71: Anonymous D-Streamer
Indeed
You appeared like a comet
72: Anonymous D-Streamer
We totally overlooked you, huh? lol
73: Anonymous D-Streamer
No way, no way, haha
There's no way that's true
Huh? It's not true, right?
