1. This is Just Cup Noodles (3)

‘It's fun.’
Meanwhile, reading the chat window coming up, I ended up smiling without realizing it.
Whether it's the viewers showing reactions as if they've never eaten cup noodles, or ‘BestSpeciesInTheUniverseElf’ bragging about the taste of cup noodles she must have felt countless times until now, I think they are amazing.
Isn't it insane acting skills to the point that if someone who didn't know saw this, they might really think they are Elves or residents of another world?
That's why I, too, was immersed in the concept and naturally spitting out words like this.
“Well, come visit Earth once later. Then I'll let you experience the taste of cup noodles as much as you want, just like Elf-nim.”
“You never know. Even right now we are talking across dimensions like this.”
I spoke with somewhat sincerity, shrugging my shoulders.
“So I think there is plenty of possibility we might meet in person later. And besides the cup noodle I showed you today, I want to let you experience other cup noodle flavors too....”
“Hmm... Well, the most famous one would be the Nuclear Fire Taste Stir-fried Noodles. Perhaps if it's someone tasting ramen for the first time, they might faint after eating this?”
Even after that, I continued the conversation sharing trivial stories with the viewers.
I mean, just exactly until I finished eating the ramen.
“Then everyone, I think I should wrap up the broadcast around here for today.”
“No, as much as I'd like to, I want to broadcast more too but... actually, I haven't prepared anything specifically for today's broadcast.”
This was true.
In the first place, coming into this platform and turning on the broadcast was something I committed impulsively because I was drunk.
And maybe because I drank more alcohol than I thought, my eyes felt like they were slowly closing since earlier too....
“Umm... It's regrettable but I will end today's broadcast here. If I broadcast next time, I will bring more quantity and fun content than today. I'm sorry.”
“Then, thank you everyone for your hard work!”
Like that, after exchanging heartwarming farewells with the viewers, I pressed the ‘End Broadcast’ button at the very bottom of the screen.
[You have ended the broadcast.]
[You have made a tiny minority of residents of other dimensions aware of the existence of the planet ‘Earth’.]
[A tiny minority of residents of other dimensions feel intense curiosity about the planet ‘Earth’.]
[‘Beginner Privilege’ is given as a reward for the first contact with residents of other dimensions.]
[As a Beginner Privilege, the dimensional rift phenomenon of planet ‘Earth’ is stabilized for 48 hours.]
[Mana received through broadcast: 36,000]
[Received Mana can be accumulated as points in the shop, or it is possible to absorb it into the body.]
[Will you absorb it?]
“...Absorb?”
For a moment, I blinked my eyes unable to understand the phrase in the message window.
Absorb? What on earth does absorb mean?
‘They really caught the concept viciously.’
No, no matter what, I feel like they should explain these parts with slightly more intuitive words.
If it were the usual me, I would have looked up the site's terms and conditions or precautions once again.
But since I felt like dying from sleepiness since earlier, I pressed any button roughly and turned off the computer as it was.
Well, I can check the details after waking up tomorrow morning.
And I don't know the reason, but for some reason, I've been feeling too tired since earlier.
Like that, I lay on the bed and fell asleep as if fainting.
[Mana is being absorbed into the streamer's body.]
[The mana circuit and a significant part of the body are severely damaged.]
[Starting treatment using the sponsored mana.]
.....
.....
.....
[Mana is insufficient.]
[Treatment has not been perfectly completed.]
[Some of the body's functions are revived.]
[3% of the mana circuit has regained its original function.]
[If you want perfect treatment, please receive more sponsorship or use the services included in the shop.]
The next morning.
“...Mmm.”
I woke up from sleep feeling a refreshing emotion for some reason.
A morning that is incredibly refreshing with absolutely no hangover despite having poured down so much alcohol last night.
It's been a really long time since I felt like this.
I mean, should I say it's the first time since I retired from being a Hunter because my mana circuit was completely shattered due to an accident.
It's not simply that I feel good, but the fact that nowhere in my body hurts makes me feel good-
“...No, wait a minute.”
For a moment, I felt a sense of incongruity.
If it were the usual me, I would be suffering considerable pain as soon as I woke up in the morning due to the aftereffects of that day's accident.
However, the current me is feeling only a refreshing feeling rather than feeling pain.
This was a problem I had half given up on because even famous doctors couldn't find a way to do anything about it, but does this make sense?
Feeling my heart pounding for some reason, I urgently checked my body condition—
“...This is crazy.”
The next moment, after confirming what had happened to my body, I tasted an absurd feeling.
My muscle and nerve functions, which were diagnosed as impossible to fix with modern science, were moving according to my will again.
And.
“Mana... has been generated again...?”
Mana that had completely scattered without leaving even a speck after my dantian was shattered into pieces.
A part of that mana was residing in my body.
