The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 108: ASMR That Blows Even Memories Away

Chapter 108: ASMR That Blows Even Memories Away

“Please come in, Maria.”

“E–Excuse me…”

The moment Maria entered Kanata’s room, she was nervous. But her tension soon eased, and the two spent some relaxing time together.

“… It’s nice to have moments like this, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is…”

“Don’t worry too much about it. I talked to Alphana, and she wants you to focus on what you enjoy doing. We all want to see that side of you.”

“… Thank you, Maria.”

“You’re welcome ♪.”

Maria’s smile, accompanied by her reassuring words, lightened Kanata’s heart. Taking a deep breath, Maria held Kanata’s hand and continued.

“I’ve delved quite deeply into understanding you, Kanata-kun, and I find myself irresistibly drawn in. The more time we share, the more my emotions intensify. Your captivating qualities keep revealing themselves, and there’s simply no evading them now ♪.”

Kanata’s eyes widened, wondering if he was truly that captivating. Still, he felt joy at her sentiment and resolved to become a man worthy of her words.

“Now, the reason I called you here today, Sergeant Maria.”

“Yes, Captain!!”

Changing the atmosphere, Maria straightened her posture.

Kanata sat at his desk, where his streaming setup was. To Maria, it seemed like a pilgrimage to the holy land of streaming, her cheeks naturally softening.

“… Are you okay?”

“I’m fine!”

She tried to tighten her cheeks by squeezing them with her hands, but her expression remained slack, and even some drool slipped out. Kanata noticed but never found it off-putting—beauty could be unfair at times like this.

“Maria, here’s a handkerchief.”

“Ah, sorry…”

Nevertheless, Kanata handed her a handkerchief to wipe away the drool. 

Though their interaction was a bit awkward at the start, Kanata revealed what had been covered with a cloth—Maria had seen it before, but she couldn’t help but let out a small scream.

“Is that…!?”

What Maria was staring at was a microphone designed for ASMR—commonly known as a binaural mic.

“Are you okay…?”

Kanata became worried due to her sudden change in demeanour, but he felt it was understandable. 

He had explained what ASMR was, and Maria had actually experienced it before. The sensation it provided was unforgettable for her, inducing an indescribable pleasure that seemed to penetrate her brain throughout her body.

“… Maria?”

“Ah… no… It feels kinda hot…”

Maria’s body shuddered as she felt the heat rise. Her face flushed red, and her breaths became ragged, naturally causing Kanata to grow concerned.

“Hey, are you alright?”

“Ah…!”

The moment he touched her shoulder, Maria shook even more intensely. 

Her expression seemed almost seductive, causing Kanata to immediately avert his gaze. 

After taking a few deep breaths over the course of several seconds, Maria seemed to calm down. Her face remained red, but she appeared to be okay.

“I remembered something from before. I’m fine now.”

“Alright.”

Judging by her relieved expression, she seemed to be genuinely alright.

Even the astute Kanata couldn’t quite grasp what had just happened to Maria—likely because he’d never expected his voice could make a woman feel so good.

“So, you’re going to use that!?”

This time, Maria was visibly excited. Seeing her imploring gaze that practically begged, ‘Hurry up and use it on me,’ Kanata nodded, understanding that further explanations were unnecessary.

“I’m planning to use this at the Empire’s event. That’s why I asked for your cooperation. Shall we get started?”

“Sure! Um…”

“Here, use this.”

“… What is this?”

And then! A new item appeared—it was a pair of headphones. 

Created with Cid’s assistance, these weren’t the in-ear headphones they’d used before. These covered the entire ear, ensuring that no sound would leak out. They were another item that had arrived for the demonstration.

“Just wear it like you’d normally cover your ears. It should be fine.”

Gently placing the headphones on Maria’s head, Kanata felt that his preparations were now complete. 

Despite feeling a bit embarrassed about saying something so cheesy, he opened his mouth to move on to the next stage of their experiment.

As it turned out, the mic worked perfectly that day.

While Maria did occasionally tremble and show some intense expressions, she looked absolutely refreshed and even radiant by the end.

However, the next day, she had completely forgotten everything that happened in Kanata’s room.

“What… Did I do it again?”

Ahaha… It was only natural for Kanata to respond with a dry smile.
