(Sad News) I, a Junior High School Graduate Low Class Streamer Striving to Support My Little Sister, Encountered Two Beautiful Sisters in an Ss-Rank Dungeon, but They Turned Out to Be Unparalleled Yandere Influencers - 68

Chapter 68: The End of Aranami

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

She had blonde hair, just like Ranko-san but Kirishima gave off a ‘gyaru’ vibe compared to Ranko-san. 

“….”

“….”

Silence flowed between us. 

I was about to take my gaze away from her and continued walking but…

“Wa-Wait! Are you going to ignore me? You’re so cruel! We’re more or less acquaintances anyway so look at me!”

“Haa….”

With a sigh, I turned around to stare at Kirishima. 

“What?”

“….What’s up with your attitude?! Are you looking down on me now that you’ve become popular?!”

“Popular or not, I’ve always acted the same.”

“Ughhhh!!”

I flinched back when I saw her glaring at me with her fists clenched tight.

“So? What is it? What do you want from me?”

Maybe she’s here to complain about Watanabe-san to me? 

After I collaborated with Watanabe-san, he became a full-fledged NowTuber instead. He became a popular middle-aged streamer with over 500.000 channel subscribers. 

He had been openly telling the people about all the unfair things the Dungeon Association had been doing so he gained a massive reputation boost. He was riding high on the wave of popularity.

However, it seemed Kirishima wasn’t concerned about Watanabe-san. 

“….Do your best. I’m rooting for you, okay?”

“Huh?”

I was taken aback by her unexpected words. 

While I remembered receiving an apology from her before, I never expected she would go as far as cheering me on. 

Seeing my bewildered expression, Kirishima blushed. She started fidgeting shyly before continuing on.

“I was just being used by those useless big shots and yet, I developed a superiority complex without even knowing the real truth. I mocked, ignored and looked down on those I deemed beneath me. My life is filled with nothing but a dark past.”

“…..”

I really didn’t expect her to act like this. Until very recently, she had been basking in the spotlight. She was part of an elite unit and envied by her peers. To put it simply, she was one of the chosen people and yet… She was able to realize her mistake and even admit it to me. 

Realizing one’s mistake was not something anyone could do. 

“Is that so?”

“That is so.”

Kirishima said. She looked listless.

Now that she had changed, I didn’t have any reason to be at odds with her. 

Well, not that I have any thoughts about her to begin with….

“If you want to become a NowTuber, just tell me. I will do one video collaboration with you.” 

For someone as beautiful as her, reaching one million subscribers wouldn’t be a mere dream. 

No. I might be meddling too much. She’s part of the elite unit. She probably has connections. Even without my help, she’ll be fine on her own. 

I thought to myself but then, Kirishima suddenly blushed.

“Then… Give me your contact information.”

She mumbled. 

“Huh?”

“I want to stay in touch with you.”

“Oi,oi,oi! Your boyfriend is going to get jealous if he were to see you!”

“Huh? Boyfriend?”

“Yeah. Aranami.”

The moment she heard his name, she furrowed her eyebrows and slapped her temple with her hand. 

“That scumbag! I told you the other day that I’m not dating him, didn’t I?!”

“Di-Did you?”

“You…. You don’t care about me, right?! I don’t matter to you, right?!”

“…..That.Is.Not.True.”

“See! You are suddenly speaking weirdly!”

Kirishima was practically fuming from anger. She looked kind of cute. 

But then, she suddenly sighed again. She looked dejected.

“Aranami joined a terrorist organization.”

“Huh?! For real?”

“….”

Kirishima remained silent but then, she started blinking rapidly. Her eyes were watering so I approached her to speak with her from eye to eye. 

“Eh?!”

“Tell me everything about Aranami and the terrorist organization.”

“….”

“Speak.”

“…….Fine, I will tell you. But in exchange, I want you to have a meal with me one day.”

“What a cheap price to pay.”

And so, I successfully extracted various information about Aranami from Kirishima.

X X X

A few days later. 

“-! Darn it! Darn it! Darn it! Darn it!!!”

Aranami was prostrating in front of me. 

To be precise, I had beaten Aranami to a pulp and forced him to prostrate.

All around us were the members of the terrorist organization. They were foaming at the mouth thanks to my One Inch Punch. 

Of course, everything was being live streamed.

“Oi, Aranami…. After I went out of my way to save you from King Ice Dragon, now you’re joining a terrorist organization? Just what’s wrong with you?”

I spoke while pressing his head with my foot. 

Aranami glared at me, his voice was filled with nothing but aggression toward me. 

“Legendary Fist…. It feels good, doesn’t it? Becoming an SS-rank explorer, admired by a lot of people, relied upon… People worship you as the hero…”

“Huh?”

“You’re no different from those powerful elites! You’re also someone with vested interest! That’s why, I will take it all from you!!”

“Oh? And what will you do after taking it? Are you planning to discriminate against people weaker than you and act proudly again?”

“….”

I grabbed Aranami by his hair and lifted his head. 

“You see… I have absolutely no interest in power or anything of that sort. In fact, I can step down from the throne of Japan’s first SS-rank explorer right now and I won’t have any problem with it. I only took up the title because the government officials kept begging me to.”

“Wha-What?!”

“Aranami.”

“-?!”

Gripping his hair tightly, I exerted more strength into my fingers.

“You will never get the power you wish for as long as you live. Every time you try to do something, I will be sure to crush you to pieces.”

Upon hearing my words, Aranami’s face immediately flushed red. 

“DARN ITTT!! AAAARGHHHHHH!!!!”

Members of the public security order came rushing in upon hearing his shameful scream. 

I guess it’s about time for me to get this over with. I will leave the rest to the public security team. 

I kicked Aranami again, like I had done during the King Ice Dragon incident. 

“BWAGHH!”

Then, I took my time to walk nonchalantly toward the exit. 

I knew one thing for certain. In this world, there were plenty of people like Aranami who used other people as they pleased. Those kinds of people had enjoyed their privileges and living a good and comfortable life. 

I could drag people like those down from their throne and make sure they would never be able to wield any power in their hand ever again. That was the only thing I could do for this country. However, that alone made me feel this country was going in a better direction. 

In fact, the country IS improving. 

However, if I were to become corrupted and ended up becoming like Aranami, I bet other people would’ve bestowed judgment over me the same way I did to Aranami.

The definition of justice in my mind isn’t only applicable to other people. It applies to me as well.

At least, for now, I’m still invincible. Because… I honestly don’t care about power and stuff like that. Social status, titles, academic background, none of it matters to me. I’m able to crush anything because I’m not tied to any of that.
