After Accidentally Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn Off Her Dungeon Stream, I Began to Go Viral as a Legendary Explorer ～ The Introverted Me Accidentally Dominating with My Mysterious Skill 'Ignore Rules' - Chapter 29: Karma - Goyama's Pathetic True Face

Chapter 29: Karma – Goyama’s Pathetic True Face

A little before Kirishima went to school

“Damn it… Damn it… Why me?!”

Ring♪ Ring♪ Ring♪

“Hiii!”

The intermittent ringtone of his smartphone made Kento Goyama shudder.

“Why!? I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all that creep Kirishima’s fault for being a loser!”

—Hey, hey, “God of Destruction”(lol), how does it feel to get beaten up by the one you bullied?

—Ahh, lol. This digital tattoo will never disappear, how sad, lol.

—I really want to see what your parents look like, seriously lol

It seemed that yesterday’s duel with Kirishima had been live-streamed to the entire world.

The influencer Sorakin had spread the news, and clips of him running away in confusion were posted on video-sharing platforms. On social media trends, “God of Destruction (lol)” had gone viral…

As a result, the duel from yesterday had become globally known to an uncontrollable extent.

“Damn it… Damn it!”

And so, Goyama was now curled up on his bed in his room.

He couldn’t go to school. Given how widely the duel had spread, there was a risk that even the high school students would know about it.

Walking into school while being mocked—that was the ultimate humiliation for Goyama.

Only people like Kirishima, the creeps, should be the subject of mockery. For someone overwhelmingly extroverted like him to be persecuted, the world must be mad…

But reality is merciless.

—Kento Goyama. The principal has summoned you. Be in the principal’s office by 8:00 a.m. today. Failure to comply will result in expulsion—

Just a moment ago, a message like this had arrived from his homeroom teacher.

The reason for being summoned to the principal’s office at this timing was, without a doubt, clear as day.

According to online articles, the school that had been tolerating bullying was now inundated with phone calls. Although, for Goyama, what he did wasn’t “bullying” but “simply killing time”—it was undoubtedly about that incident.

That’s why he had to push himself to go to school today, no matter what.

Tsukishima High School was a somewhat famous college preparatory school in the area. If he were expelled from there, all the hard work he had put into studying for his high school entrance exams would go to waste.

“Kento, you’re awake?”

Just when he had decided to start getting ready, his mother Yayoi entered the room.

“M-Mama…”

“Really, you’re such a hopeless child. You’re making more work for me.”

“I’m sorry, Mama. I…”

“It’s fine, don’t worry. Incidents like these can be smoothed over easily. Just like last time.”

Yayoi.

She too was an active explorer, and as far as the bulletin board was concerned, she was recognized as an S-rank, a highly skilled adventurer.

Her skill was “Summon Monster.”

She could summon monsters from the weakest to the strongest, commanding them at will. She could even summon Emergency class monsters, making her skill literally monstrous.

While Goyama wasn’t privy to the specific details, it seemed that his mother Yayoi had some kind of altercation with the Kirishima family in the past.

Because of that, she had always harbored a grudge against the Kirishima family—she was the one who had told him to bully their son, Tsukushi.

“Let’s go. You’re being called to the school, aren’t you?”

“Mama… are you going to help me?”

“Just leave it to me. They’ll experience the same pain his father did when he dared to cross us.”

★

And so, Goyama was now visiting the principal’s office at Tsukishima High School.

Of course—he was accompanied by his mother.

“…W-why is your mother here? My summon was supposed to be for the student alone.”

Across the table, the principal said this with a look of disbelief.

“T-that’s because… Mama said so…”

“Mama? Goyama-kun, you are…”

The principal’s face remained one of disbelief.
