A Heretic in a Chastity-Reversed World Starts Live Streaming - 20

Chapter 20: Relaxation of Regulations

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Since the morning, Aina had been holding her head in her hands in perplexion. This was no surprise, considering that in recent days, numerous petitions had been submitted by attackers belonging to the association, requesting the removal or relaxation of the ban on approaching Yuu.

And it wasn’t just a couple of individuals—these requests had come from dozens of attackers, turning the issue into an urgent matter that could no longer be ignored by the Association. 

“The ban lift is out of the question. It would definitely cause problems… The burden on Yuu would be too much to bear if we lift the ban… So, it seems like we’ll have to compromise and relax the restrictions instead…”

Aina’s assumption wasn’t wrong. Many attackers in the association were particularly aggressive, and if given the chance to approach Yuu, they would surely fight over it. However, if the restrictions were relaxed incorrectly, it would only increase resentment towards the Association, so she had to proceed carefully.

“More than anything, Yuu is mine. He’s mine alone… What am I even saying now…?”

It was a line that could easily be met with a retort like, “Who do you think you are?” but she couldn’t care less. After all, Aina had a strong possessive streak, and her obsession with Yuu was particularly intense.

“Haah… I’ll have to approve a temporary party… The Association will handle the fair lottery, and then there are conditions we need to impose to suppress any out-of-control behavior. That compromise should be enough… Damn it.”

She couldn’t lie to herself about how she didn’t want any other woman near Yuu. Aina was seething in frustration at herself. She had lost her mind when Yuu’s real mother appeared on a livestream, and afterward, she had even gotten into an argument on a message board. It seemed Aina’s possessiveness extended so far that she didn’t even want Yuu’s mother near him.

“Ughhh! I feel like I’m going crazy… Oh, first I need to ask Yuu. I just hope he will refuse this suggestion.”

Though she knew he wouldn’t refuse, Aina dialed Yuu’s number, praying for a miracle.

“Hello, Kishido here.”

“Good morning. It’s Aina from the Association. Are you free for a moment?”

“Sure, what’s up?”

“There’s something I need to consult with you about regarding the party—”

After hanging up, Aina looked like she was about to die. Yuu’s response had already told her everything.

『It’s fine. I can offer simple advice too for attackers ranked lower than me…』

She sighed deeply, reluctantly starting to draft an urgent notice to the attackers.

1) Approve the request for a temporary party (one-day only) with Yuu.

2) If you wish to form a party, you must inform the Association beforehand. The final decision will be made through a fair lottery, the method of which is left to the Association.

3) Dungeon attacker licenses are not required.

4) Since this is not a lift of the ban, violators will still face strict punishment.

5) If any criminal acts against Yuu are confirmed, their license will be immediately revoked and permanently suspended.

“This looks good. If I threaten them with the permanent revocation of licenses, no one should be foolish enough to break the rules… Well, I’ve already told Yuu to do a livestream, so that should act as a deterrent by itself.”

With that, the urgent notification was sent to the Association’s attackers.

◇◇◇

“Forming a temporary party with Yuu-kun!? I have to submit my notice right away… Oh, that smell… Again… Hahh♡♡ I want to pretend I tripped and hug him from behind to sniff him♡♡”

Risa was ecstatic.

“A temporary party with Yuu-kun!? This is something I can’t miss! I’ve got to act fast! Abs!♡ Abs!♡ I want to rub them!♡♡ Hehehehe!♡♡”

Miko was also thrilled.

“Huh, is this for real? Finally, a chance for me…! Alright, I’m sending in my notice!”

A “bokuko”(A woman who uses the pronouns ‘boku) attacker who was a fan of Yuu was equally excited.

“Huh? What’s this… Aina, you’ve gone too far. What will I do if my Yuu-kun gets dirty? If that happens, I might just destroy the Association~… Ahhh, I don’t even want to think about it!!”

Yuu’s real mother, Sachi, was fuming overseas.

◇◇◇

Afterward, the association received pre-notices from nearly all of the attackers, immediately after the notification was sent. Moreover, almost all of them were sent individually, meaning they were requesting to form a “two-person party” with Yuu.

“Aren’t they just asking to go on a date with him? Ugh, seriously, give me a break… Even I’m struggling just to meet him through the Association.”

Aina’s mental state was visibly affected, her frustration written all over her face. Since she was Yuu’s exclusive liaison, it was especially difficult for her to see her own possessiveness being challenged like this.

“Gotta hang in there. Okay, let’s see, who will be the lucky first person?”

The lottery was done by computer, so Aina lazily started the program to select the winner.

“Winner: Elena”

And so, the B-rank attacker Elena was selected to form a party with Yuu. Aina immediately contacted her. She clenched her teeth, but she had to remind herself that Elena was a competent and capable person.

“Hello, Elena? You’ve been selected to form a party with Kishido-kun. Congratulations.”

Ugh, I’m so pissed, so pissed… Damn it!

“Wait, me!? Really? Yes! So, when will we meet?”

“I’ll check his schedule. But I wanted to know your availability first.”

“I’m free anytime. I’ll follow Yuu-kun’s schedule… Thank you.”

“Got it. I’ll let you know once the schedule is decided. Goodbye.”

Immediately after the call, Elena was trembling all over. To think she was the first to get the right to meet Yuu in person…

“Yuu-kun… I can’t wait to see you.”

She put on her headphones to calm herself and played her favorite music. It was a mix of various sound clips labeled “Sound Mix.”

“Ahhh…♡ My ears are melting…”

Naturally, her fingers wandered downwards, but compared to Risa and Miko, her actions seemed quite innocent. She was on her bed. Her body was squirming all over as she indulged in her carnal desires. That said, Elena seemed far from being a madwoman. She looked quite adorable.

“Ahn… Ahn… I’m so excited♡”

After calming down, her skin now looked particularly radiant.

Meanwhile, Yuu was also feeling troubled. According to Aina, the person he was forming a party with this time, Elena, was a B-rank attacker. Aina had asked him to do a livestream during their party activity, but Yuu was at a loss about what to do. He was so distressed that he almost voiced his complaint to the Association, wondering why the content of the day was left entirely to him. 

“Is there even a need to do a livestream? Well, I’d like to, but…”

A livestream meant he’d have to consider how to make it look good, but he couldn’t ignore Elena, who would be his party member. He didn’t know yet how to balance between taking care of his party members and keeping the entertainment value of his livestream. Maybe it would be easier not to do a livestream at all during the party activity.

Unfortunately, Yuu’s thoughts weren’t coming together well. Since he hadn’t been given Elena’s contact information, he couldn’t ask her what she wanted in advance. He also felt bad about discussing what they would do on the day itself, so he tried thinking things through while enduring the pain.

“…Let’s just focus on handling the gate then. Even though it’s an unexplored area, a B-rank dungeon should be easy enough for her.”

In the end, he decided to focus on handling the gates and exploring an area, something he was familiar with. The gate handling would provide some good moments for the livestream, and it would likely be a good experience for Elena as well. He planned to ask her to handle the monster. In that way, he could offer advice on combat. Everything should go smoothly.

“Okay, so where should we go? An area with an easy unexplored area left…?”

The Asakusa B7 dungeon, where he had met Risa, was off-limits to attackers below A-rank, so he excluded it from his option. Sure, he had considered it since that place was convenient for him, but that place was still under the Association’s investigation. 

“Hm, then maybe Chofu B2 Dungeon. That dungeon should be easy enough.”

The Chofu B2 Dungeon was an unpopular dungeon where most of the resources had already been harvested, and the unexplored areas were left untouched. If they found new materials there, the dungeon might regain some popularity, but no one was willing to explore the unexplored areas. After all, investigating the unexplored area was deemed as a 3K job.

Since he wasn’t a first-timer there, he didn’t feel much pressure in exploring that dungeon and the monsters were of average level at best. He deemed the dungeon shouldn’t be too dangerous for a B-rank attacker.

“Alright, time to contact Aina…”

The date for the party activity was set for the morning of the day after tomorrow, with a local meet-up and no pre-meeting beforehand. Since there was no pre-meeting, everything was smoothly decided with a casual “See you on the day.” from the Association.

For some reason, Aina’s voice sounded weaker than usual, but he decided not to point it out. 

『I’ll be doing a livestream at the dungeon the day after tomorrow, so I’ll be taking a break from streaming today and tomorrow to prepare for it! Sorry!』

He posted this unfortunate news on H, and the trending word “#Yuu-kunLoss” quickly rose to the top. Unaware of this, Yuu began preparing for the day after tomorrow.

“Just to be safe, I’ll review information regarding the Chofu B2 dungeon… And also take care of my sword… Hmm… What else do I need to do…?”

Would he be able to fulfill his need for validation amidst this party activity? After all, he had never been a part of a party before.
