A Heretic in a Chastity-Reversed World Starts Live Streaming - 8

Chapter 8: Social Media

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After Yuu’s workout stream, Aina, an Association staff member, was in a state of utter bliss. Her skin even looked more radiant than usual. She had changed into freshly washed, warm underwear. Incidentally, Aina was in charge of all paperwork related to Yuu within the Association. Her self-control (?), dedication to her work, and competence were officially recognized by the Association.

Whether she pleasured herself in the reception room during work hours or posted brazenly on the message board using a tripcode, as long as no one caught her directly, it wasn’t a problem.

“Maybe I went a little overboard showing off on the message board… Not that I regret it at all. Still, social media, huh. The problem is Yuu doesn’t seem interested in it at all.”

In fact, Aina had once recommended social media to Yuu. At the time, she had no ulterior motives—it was a purely professional suggestion meant to promote dungeon attackers in general. However, Yuu politely declined without showing any sign of interest. That was because, to him, social media wasn’t yet connected to the concept of his self-validation.

If the purpose was framed as “promotion of dungeon attackers,” it was understandable that it didn’t trigger his desire for self-validation.

“Maybe I should try pitching it more simply, like for announcing livestreams and stuff.”

Having made such bold claims on the message board, it was obvious she’d get ripped to shreds if she didn’t actually get Yuu to start using social media. The fact that she didn’t seem to be bothered much by potentially getting ripped to shreds meant she had strong mental fortitude. 

“Oh, I’ve finally finished downloading the mixed batch of fap material… The breathing audio files are only halfway done though… They’re so freaking huge. Well, guess I’ll enjoy the fap material first~ ♡”

Of course, she hadn’t forgotten to save her lewd files. Having decided to contact Yuu about social media tomorrow, Aina turned her attention to the fap material in front of her. Her ears had already been destroyed by talking to Yuu on the phone, and her nose had been wrecked by his sexy pheromones in person. Realistically speaking, she had spent a lot of time in direct contact with the real Yuu. It would be stranger if she wasn’t mentally and physically falling apart.

“Ahh…♡ Yuu… Yuu… ♡ You belong to me and me alone…♡ Don’t go anywhere, okayyy…♡ Ngh… Aaahhh…”

Despite calling him ‘Kishido-kun’ in private, Aina moaned ‘Yuu♡’ as her wild night continued on. 

◇◇◇

“Good morning, Kishido-kun. Sorry for calling so early.”

“No worries. What’s up?”

“It’s about your livestream. I was thinking… What if you tried starting a social media account?”

The next day, Aina was on a call with her beloved. Despite the calm tone of her voice, her heart—still ravaged by the call—was in full debauched mode.

“I see,but… hmm…”

“(Yuu even looks cute when he’s hesitating…♡) I think if you have social media, you could attract more viewers to your stream and with the way you are now, even a casual post from you would probably go viral.”

She framed it as professional advice, including the dungeon content, to keep up with appearances. She wasn’t about to claim it was something the fans wanted. That would be too obvious. Aina was highly skilled at maintaining proper decorum.

“It will go viral…”

“Yes, it will go viral.”

Yuu’s heart began to race. Doing 24/7 streaming was unrealistic, but if social media could allow him to make better use of his off-stream hours….

“Aina-san, I—”

“(Don’t say my name right now~♡ I’ll break!~♡) Hm? What is it?”

“I think I’ll give it a try.”

“That’s great! I’m sure it’ll go well. I’m cheering for you!”

“Thank you so much!”

After that, Aina disappeared within the Association building for about an hour. No one knew exactly what she was doing. Meanwhile, Yuu quickly signed up for social media. He only registered on H, skipping Onsta because it seemed too flashy.

“It’s definitely a good idea to let everyone know the stream schedule in advance.”

『Just started today! I’ll be posting stream updates here, so keep an eye out!』

“Hmm… Maybe I’ll throw in a selfie while I’m at it.”

The beast of self-affirmation had discovered social media. His first post was, of course, a selfie—his core skill.

“Alright, that should do it. Huh, I’ve already got likes and comments… This isn’t bad.”

Likes: 2,483

— So hot~♡ Hold me~♡

— What?! Are you doing that crazy tripcode thing?

— Show us more of Yuu-kun♡

— I’ve been waiting for you!

— I’m so hyped for the stream announcement!

“Ah, might as well follow the Association too.”

As likes and comments surged in real time, Yuu’s heart pounded. From that day forward, he established a core routine of streaming and posting on social media.

“I’ll do a short livestream at 7 PM today. Be sure to watch me, okay?!”

As for the trending topics on H that day:

1st place: Yuu-kun starts H

2nd place:Crazy tripcode

3rd place: 7 PM, be there, you guys

4th place: Selfie

5th place:Mixed batch of material

Even though it was a weekday afternoon, Yuu’s follower count on H exceeded 30,000 within just a few hours—and it kept growing from then on. Surprised by the overwhelming response, Yuu decided to take a happy little nap.

“Fwaaah… Maybe I’ll just do a food stream next… So sleepy…”

It would still be a while before the self-affirmation beast would learn the skill of ego-searching, which would give him high mental points.

◇◇◇

7 PM. As announced, Yuu started his livestream.

“Good evening! Just a little food stream tonight! I hope you’ll hang out with me while I eat!”

— Karaage again? You really love that stuff~♡

— Are you Team Breast or Team Thigh?

— Just followed you on H!

“I think I’m Team Thigh. I’ve still got a bunch left from last time.”

— Literally a free brand promotion, lol

— ↑ I bought some after seeing him eat it, and yeah, it was good.

— ↑ The fact that Yuu-kun reviewed it makes it twice as delicious.

Enjoying the flurry of comment flow like it was a side dish, Yuu happily munched away at his meal.

— Your puffy cheeks are so cute♡

— Like a tiny animal♡

— This is healing my soul

“It really does feel like I’m eating with everyone. I swear eating like this makes the food taste better.”

It wasn’t a lie. Compared to eating alone like he always had, this genuinely felt more enjoyable. He’d been living on his own since middle school and barely contacted his only family member—his mom. The loneliness he hadn’t even realized he was carrying had started to melt away through streaming.

— Fuah…

— Are you lonely, Yuu-kun?

— I wanna sit next to you and pat your head♡

— Come snuggle into Mama’s chest♡

— Yuu, you’ve got me, remember?

— Adding “lonely boy” to his traits is making him too OP…

“I-I’m not lonely! My food will get cold if I don’t eat quickly…”

— Tsu-tsu-tsundere!?

— I’ll give you anything! Just let me be your Mama…

— Haa… Haa…Haa…Haa…Haa…

— My daughter just volunteered to be Yuu-kyun’s Mama and I’m in shock

— This is peak content.

On this day, “lonely tsundere” was added to Yuu’s list of personality traits. Naturally, the clips from this stream went massively viral, and many well-behaved ladies reportedly awakened to some twisted new kinks because of this livestream.

“Phew, that was delicious. Seriously, that stuff is amazing… I’m totally satisfied.”

Yuu’s expression was fresh and content, both his stomach and his heart full. Being called lonely had made him feel a little embarrassed, but he made an effort not to let it show on his face anymore.

“Hey, hey, is there any stream you’d like to see next?”

— Bath stream~ ♡

— I kinda wanna see more workout livestream again.

— I want you to sing!

— I want a stream where you’re spoiled by Mama ♡

— ↑ That one sounds great…

— Dungeon attack!

— Maybe a cooking stream…

“Hmm hmm… Uhh… I wanna move my body, so maybe I’ll do a dungeon attack. Hachioji A1 is still halfway done after all.”

— Take me with you ♡

— I wanna be protected by you~

Yuu operated solo when it came to dungeon-related activities. This was due to the Association’s directive, which had issued a no-contact order to female attackers regarding him. However, the matter regarding Yuu’s operation in the dungeon had effectively been left in Aina’s hands. Whether this was truly the will of the Association or merely an expression of her possessive streak over Yuu remained unclear.

“I’m fine going solo. The Association even warned me not to push myself too hard last time.”

— You were pushing yourself pretty hard even during the stream.

— So if I go to the Association, that means I could meet Yuu-kun in real life…?

— If we know in advance what dungeon he’s going to, some fans might show up in person.

— ↑ Yeah, someone is totally going to appear. 

— Staking out is a major etiquette violation.

— Yuu, maybe you should stop announcing dungeon streams ahead of time. It’s too risky

“H-Huh, I see?”

— Confused Yuu-kun looks so darn adorable.

Somehow, Yuu tended to underestimate his own value. It wasn’t unusual for those consumed by a desire for validation to have low self-esteem—perhaps it was just how things were. In fact, if he went ahead with a dungeon stream as planned, there was no doubt that real-life fan ambushes would swarm him in no time.

“I see, I see… (I don’t really think I’m that famous though…)”

There wasn’t a single viewer who would tell him that a compilation of “ fap material” featuring him—including audio files—had become a massive hit on the internet. Everyone feared the risk of him finding out, and their silence was oddly well-coordinated despite no prior agreement.

“Sorry about that. In that case, I’ll do the dungeon stream without announcing it in advance! I won’t be heading to Hachioji tomorrow, either.”

— I’m glad to hear that!

— We’ll be waiting for you tomorrow too~

— Are you ending the livestream now?

“I want to shower too, so I think I’ll call it a day! See you tomorrow!”

And with that, he ended the stream on another pleasant note.

“Oh, right! I’m heading for a shower! Don’t forget to watch the next stream!”

He took this perfect opportunity to post on H, attaching a shirtless selfie. It was an ideal use of the platform to satisfy his craving for validation.

Likes: 17,624.

Seeing the explosion of likes in an instant, Yuu smiled with satisfaction and headed for the shower.

“♪♪♪~~♪”

Humming a cheerful tune, the delighted Yuu wondered what tomorrow’s livestream would bring.
