The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 102: Will There Ever Come a Time When Someone Other Than Kanata Streams?

Chapter 102: Will There Ever Come a Time When Someone Other Than Kanata Streams?

For Kanata, it’s routine to return to the dormitory as soon as school ends.

Otherwise, it’s common for him to spend time with Maria, Alphana, Mira, or Anise… but today, it was different.

(… Is this an after-school date with friends!?!)

Yes, Kanata’s excitement was now skyrocketing.

“Hey! What’s going on, Kanata!”

“Don’t space out. Let’s go~!”

The ones calling Kanata were Ron and Thomas—male students from another class who had fought together in a mock battle that led to him meeting Anise.

Since then, they’ve interacted quite often. For Kanata, becoming friends with them made it feel as if his lonely days as a student were a lie.

“Sorry. I was lost in thought for a bit.”

When he joined them, they laughed and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to get it together.

Kanata even smiled at Ron and Thomas enough to make Maria and Alphana jealous, to the point where it reminded him of his past life.

“Is it about time?”

“Ah… Is that it?”

The place where Kanata and the others went to was a little away from the royal capital.

It’s one of the requests given by the royal capital’s guild, and the content is to subdue a small group of monsters that have appeared.

Normally, adventurers or knights would deal with this kind of thing. However, if the academy recognizes their skills and grants them permission, they can negotiate with the guild and accept the request.

“Are Ron and Thomas aiming to become adventurers?”

“Well, there’s also family matters… but it’s not a bad option.”

“For the sake of continuing our family’s eternal glory… No, not really… I don’t think there’s such a thing as eternal glory.”

“Oh, I see.”

Indeed, there’s no such thing as eternal glory.

Of course, how the nobles of this world pass their time depends on their families, but it’s important to consider alternative paths after thinking about the what-ifs. 

It seemed Ron and Thomas were contemplating various things.

“Well, let’s take care of this quickly.”

“Yeah!”

“I’ll provide support.”

Wolf-types are a common type of monster.

This type of monster basically either bites with its sharp fangs or slashes with sharp claws.

“Fire!”

“Splash!”

First, Ron and Thomas used minor magic to take jabs at the monsters while Kanata kept his eyes sharp, ready to handle whatever movements the monsters made from behind. 

Knowing how Kanata fought in the mock battle, Ron and Thomas freely hunted the monsters, knowing they had solid support from Kanata.

“Haahhhhhhh!!”

“Seyaaaaaaa!!”

They steadily defeat one monster at a time, using both magic and weapons.

“… I’m not just a guy folding my arms in the back, but I guess I’m really meant to be a support.”

Kanata was thinking that a supportive role suited him better than direct combat. 

While he liked characters in such positions even in his previous life, he loved the dynamic of unleashing his own power when necessary and going all out to win battles, even from such a position.

“Whoa, that was close!!”

As he observed the two, contemplating these thoughts, Kanata noticed a wolf that seemed to have been playing dead leaping toward Ron’s back.

“Ice Break!”

Ice Break—a spell of the ice attribute. It’s an intermediate spell that Kanata learned from Anise, a professional in ice magic, and it can freeze the air itself instantly.

“Whoa…” 

“Amazing…”

The wolf that jumped at Ron got stopped mid-air… or rather, frozen solid.

It almost felt as if it wasn’t just the air but space itself being frozen, a phenomenon perhaps due to Kanata’s infinite magical power. 

Kanata was a bit of an oddity, focusing on streaming even after being reincarnated into a fantasy world. But with his cheat-like ability of infinite magic, anything he does doesn’t seem too surprising.

“Shatter!”

As Kanata clenched his fist, the frozen wolf exploded into pieces.

The scattered ice created a fantastical beauty, sending several ruby-like red chunks flying… Kanata and his friends choose not to dwell on what this red substance might be.

“The reason we could move so freely is thanks to Kanata.”

“It’s really reassuring to have such solid support.”

“Thanks. But I was watching from behind, and both of you had great moves.”

With that, the three of them exchanged looks, laughed together, and clapped each other’s hands.

‘This is youth! This is friendship!’ Kanata thought with a smile. 

At that moment, he felt like he heard something like a girl’s shrill voice from behind, but he knew better than to pay it any mind.

Afterwards, Kanata and his friends returned to the royal capital and successfully completed their quest. Thomas went home right away due to a family matter, but Ron stayed behind.

“… Hey, Kanata.”

“Hmm?”

As soon as they were alone, Ron started speaking in a hushed voice, glancing around nervously.

“You know… I told you I’m a fan of Haishin before, right?”

“Huh? Oh, right, you did.”

“Well, if someday in the future… After a few years, streaming becomes a big thing, I kinda think I’d like to give it a shot too.”

“Heh?”

Kanata’s eyes widened in surprise at the thought.

Kanata’s streaming activities were only possible because of his infinite magical power, and it would be absolutely impossible for anyone other than Kanata unless something could replace that infinite power.

Although Kanata would be excited if that time came, he thought it might be fine, as there were many streamers in his previous life.

“What made you think that?”

“Well… I want to become famous like Haishin… and be popular with girls.”

“… Pfft!?”

“Don’t laugh, man!”

“No, no, sorry, sorry! That’s really great.”

Becoming famous and being popular was a legitimate wish that anyone might have.

“Why don’t you give it a try? Show me what kind of streams you’d do.”

“Well, actually, I’ve been doing something before I go to sleep every night!”

“Oh, show me!”

With a mix of poses and a suppressed sense of embarrassment, Ron starts his stream with an opening statement.

“Hello~! Everyone, it’s Ron! It’s going to be a passionate stream again today, so please stick with me until the end!!”

“Wow… that seems really good.”

It was evident that he respected Haishin in his way of speaking.

In this world, it’s still impossible for anyone other than Kanata to stream… but still, because Kanata had spread streaming in such a way, knowing someone who spoke of it like a dream made him very happy.

“Man? What’s with that smile…?”

“No, no, it’s nothing like that… hahaha ♪.”

It was impossible for Kanata to completely hide his smile.
