The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 107: Now, Let's Play the Prelude to Destruction Once Again

Chapter 107: Now, Let’s Play the Prelude to Destruction Once Again

“They’re holding a Haishin-sama event in the Empire, huh… Ah, there’s no way I can go.”

“I know, right? The travel expenses are quite high.”

“I’m going for sure! I wonder if there will be applause!”

Word had spread through the Royal Capital that a Haishin event would soon be taking place in the Empire.

Though it had been vaguely mentioned before, it had finally taken shape.

Within the academy, students were divided between those who lamented not being able to go and those who were thrilled to attend. Kanata felt pleased to realize once again just how many fans he had.

“… Heh.”

“Kanata, shouldn’t you keep a more serious expression?”

“Fufu, seeing Kanata-sama’s smile makes me happy too ♪.”

Beside Kanata were Alphana and Anise. They were the only ones in the academy, aside from Maria, who knew Kanata’s secret. Precisely because they hid this from everyone else, Kanata felt relaxed around them.

(Being doted on doesn’t feel bad at all… But I need to turn this pleasure into strength and keep striving! I am Haishin, a man who delivers joy!)

No matter how much he was admired and no matter how high he reached, he must not stop progressing—that was what Kanata reaffirmed to himself, clenching his mouth shut as if zipping it closed.

“… Hehe.”

However, in the end, his body was still that of a high school student, even if he had reincarnated. 

Being placed in a situation he had never experienced in his previous life could lead him to let his guard down. It wasn’t strange for him to almost lose himself in happiness.

“… Fuh.”

That said, he did think about serious matters to some extent.

In fact, he had already been pondering what to do for next month’s event—one of the things he wanted to try, which he had hinted at and even tested several times, was not a biological weapon but ASMR.

(ASMR… Adjusting frequencies for people is now second nature to me. Cid will also be there, and adjustments can be made on the fly if necessary.)

Yes, he had finally decided to formally unveil ASMR.

Eventually, he was also exploring the possibility of not just using his own voice but also incorporating the voices of Maria and Alphana. Of course, this was not for public distribution. It was solely for Kanata’s personal enjoyment.

“Kanata-sama…?”

“Kanata…?”

“Huh? What’s up?”

While thinking about ASMR, he noticed that Alphana and Anise looked uneasy for some reason. When he asked them what was wrong, they hesitantly spoke up.

“It feels like… the world is coming to an end.”

“Yeah, it’s as if the footsteps of world destruction are getting closer.”

“What are you two talking about?”

Though his tone had become unusually distant, Kanata made the remark. Alphana and Anise couldn’t explain why they felt that way but told him it was probably just their imagination.

(Well, it’s fine if it’s nothing…)

It didn’t seem like they had any particular concerns either, so it probably was just his imagination. 

However, he hadn’t used Cid’s ASMR microphone for a while. While it was unlikely that it was broken, he decided he should readjust it just in case for the upcoming day.

“… Hmm.”

Kanata decided to invite someone soon to help him with the adjustments.

While he was living busy yet fulfilling days, his relationships with his classmates were still not that great. Although it was much better than before, he wished they could get along a bit better.

“Um, Alphana-sama?”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Could you tell me more about Haishin-sama?”

“Oh, of course, I’d love to.”

Kanata didn’t want to think about what Alphana was discussing with her classmates. The way Alphana excitedly spoke and the nodding agreement from the others made it all seem like some sort of cult gathering.

“Amazing, isn’t it?”

“…”

“I feel the same way when talking to Fest.”

“… I see.”

Speaking of which, going to the Empire meant he would meet Fest as well.

Given that Fest was also an enthusiastic fan of Haishin, and now that Kanata had grown closer to Anise, there would likely be plenty to talk about. 

Kanata looked forward to whatever reunion awaited him.

“… Hmm?”

At that moment, he felt a gaze upon him and looked around. Finding no one staring back, he shrugged it off as his imagination.

“Thank you, everyone, for your hard work today.”

With classes at the academy finally over, Kanata exited the classroom alone. 

The teachers seemed busier than usual today, so classes had ended almost an hour earlier, leaving him with extra free time.

“… Oh.”

“Eh?”

What caught his eye upon leaving the academy was Maria. She noticed him as well, and with a clap of his hands, Kanata made her an offer.

“Maria, could you come to my room now?”

“… Huh!?”

“If you’re busy, it’s fine. I just have something in mind.”

“W–what do you have in mind…?”

Of course, it wasn’t what she was imagining. Kanata quickly chose her not as a victim but as a collaborator for his ASMR project.

Given that Maria had no plans ahead and was already aware of ASMR, she looked slightly disappointed but agreed happily, following him to his room.
