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 31: The True Scum

Chapter 31: The True Scum

— Yayoi Goyama.

About twelve years ago, according to a report in a weekly magazine, she had feelings for a certain man.

That man’s name was Yuichi Kirishima. He had an appearance that everyone acknowledged as handsome, and he was a kind-hearted young man who never forgot the spirit of altruism. On top of that, he was so skilled that he was called an S-class explorer at the time.

It was almost inevitable that Yayoi would fall for him; he was a man overflowing with charm.

The only problem was… both of them were engaged to other people.

Yayoi had a fiancé too, but when it came to masculine allure, Yuichi was overwhelmingly superior. Coincidentally, they had also been classmates in both elementary and middle school.

So when Yayoi finally reunited with Yuichi after such a long time, she made a fervent approach towards him.

“We should build a happy family together; we are the two people destined to be united.”

But, of course, Yuichi didn’t take it seriously.

Of course, he loved his wife, but at the time, he also had a precious child named Tsukushi. To raise his adorable child properly, he couldn’t afford to get involved in such a trivial love affair.

This infuriated Yayoi.

She skillfully lured Yuichi and his wife into dungeon exploration. Then, using her own skill “Summon Monster,” she led her own party into the brink of annihilation.

As a result, Yuichi was killed by monsters, and his wife abandoned the path of being an explorer altogether.

Literally, Yayoi had caused the collapse of the Kirishima family.

“…And that’s what was reported in the weekly magazine.” 

The principal murmured, walking up to the window to gaze at the view outside.

“Even if it’s just a weekly magazine, I remember it being a rather persuasive article. But from what you’ve just told me… are you saying you manipulated the public impression and suppressed the news?”

“…Ufufu, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“And now, your son is continuously bullying Tsukushi-kun. Tsukushi-kun has lost confidence in himself and is constantly mocked by other students. Is this a coincidence as well?”

“As I’ve said, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.”

At that point, Yayoi adjusted the center of her gold-framed glasses and smirked, 

“Regardless, I can’t overlook the current situation where Tsukushi is seen as a hero. A despicable man should live and die like one, in the corners of society.”

“You…!” 

The principal glared sharply at Yayoi. 

“Please leave. There’s nothing more to discuss with you.”

“Oh? Are you sure? If things continue like this, Tsukishima High School will be tarnished. You’ll undoubtedly be demoted, Principal, and you’ll be stuck with this digital tattoo for the rest of your life.”

“I don’t care. As I’ve said, we’re also to blame for overlooking the bullying. Since we’ve done something that deserves criticism, we should take it seriously.”

“… “

After a heavy silence lingered for a few seconds, Yayoi finally relented. “I see…”

“In that case, allow me to handle things as I see fit. This scandal is likely to persist for a while… Do try to keep your sanity intact.”

“You should worry about yourself. If the matter with Yuichi comes to light again, your downfall will be the least of your concerns. I regret not having the public trust I used to.”

“Fufu, don’t worry. It seems that Tsukushi has a famous streamer backing him. I’ll make it clear who holds the upper hand.”

With a sinister smile, Yayoi stood up hastily as if she had wasted her time.

Kento Goyama watched his mother, astonished.

“Mama, isn’t this going too far?”

“Quiet. Since when did you get the right to have an opinion on what I do?”

“B-But this means you’re targeting Miru-chan as well…”

“So what? Is there a problem?”

“…Sorry.”

The principal sighed as he watched the mother and son exit the room.
