The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 114: Regaining Vitality

Chapter 114: Regaining Vitality

“Is this Haishin…? What’s going on Kanata?”

“Well, to put it simply, it’s like—mumble mumble.”

“Hmm. I see, so that’s how it is.”

Given it was sudden, an explanation was needed. 

The old man seemed to understand when Kanata explained why things had turned out this way. However, he was taken aback not only by Haishin’s presence but also by the fact that the Princess and the Saint were nearby.

“I apologize for the suddenness. This time, I’m going around the shops in the royal capital for a livestream. I was wondering if there were any good shops around, and he recommended this area. He particularly insisted that this place is the best.”

“… Kanata recommended this?”

Upon being looked at by the old man, Kanata nodded.

“Meeting Haishin-sama like this is a miracle, and even thinking about enhancing the quality of the livestream is another miracle. That led me to think that maybe this could invigorate the downtown area… so I brought everyone here.”

“Kanata… You, really?”

Even so, Kanata and Haishin were the same person… It was very awkward for Kanata. 

The only ones who knew the truth were Maria, Alphana, and Mira. As long as he didn’t mess up, his secret would remain safe. Still, playing two roles like this was both novel and challenging for Kanata.

“Shop owner, could I have a skewer?”

“R–Right away!”

The old man immediately started preparing, grilling a skewer for Haishin. 

But, whether it was Mira or Kanata, the mask they wore didn’t have any mechanism for opening or closing, so the only way to eat was to remove it.

“Now, Kanata, please share your thoughts.”

“Got it.”

Many were watching Kanata and Haishin closely.

Being sensitive to fluctuations in magic energy, Kanata couldn’t help but notice some non-human presence in the crowd and briefly glanced over.

(Who is that…?)

What he caught sight of were strikingly seductive women. 

Although they mingled with the commoners, they clearly emanated an allure that no human could. Kanata suspected that they were succubi, similar to Lucia.

(I wonder if Shrouza and the others know about them… But it’s surreal how these succubi are engrossed in the old man’s skewers.)

[TLN: Lmao]

These succubi didn’t pay any attention to the men around them. Instead, they were engrossed in the sizzling meat.

Observing the various people—or rather demons—around him, Kanata received the freshly cooked skewer from the old man.

“Here it is, Kanata.”

“Thanks, old man.”

First, Kanata smelled the skewer, captivated by its delicious aroma that left him at a loss for words. The juice that could not be contained was already an eye-catching sight, but Kanata finally took a bite.

“… Yep! Delicious!”

All he said was ‘delicious,’ yet his reaction conveyed the exquisite taste through his whole body. It was reminiscent of TV reports he had seen in his previous life—of course, only he would know that.

Still, the skewer’s overwhelming deliciousness must have been communicated to the surrounding people and listeners as well.

“May I try some as well?”

“Yes, I’d like to have a taste too.”

“U–Understood!”

Upon hearing Maria and Alphana say this, the old man hurriedly handed them the grilled skewers.

Such dignified individuals eating in the downtown area was not something normally observed, thus attracting even more attention to them.

“… I want to eat some too.”

Mira, disguised as Haishin, mumbled this under her breath, but fortunately, nobody heard her. 

Of course, Kanata had every intention of buying some for Mira as well, so he had no plans to make her feel left out by not being able to eat.

“It’s delicious…!”

“Yes, the juices that come out when I bite into it are irresistible.”

“… Is it a dream or something, having a princess and a saint eat my cooking?”

Sadly, it wasn’t a dream, and Kanata smiled.

The moment the Princess and the Saint proclaimed the food delicious, the comment section got filled with people saying they wanted to try it too. 

As Maria and the others elegantly ate the meat skewered on a stick, Kanata continued speaking.

“Not just the old man’s skewers, but the food from other vendors is really delicious too. As a commoner, I’ve been coming here for a long time, and I never get tired of the food here, no matter how many times I try it. That’s how good it is.”

Many listened intently to Kanata’s impassioned words. Despite Haishin being nearby, the one who dominated the scene was Kanata. 

But of course, to those who didn’t know the circumstances, all roads still led to Haishin.

“I want this place to thrive even more… I hope everyone can continue to be happy and keep this atmosphere going. It would be a shock if any of the shops I’ve grown accustomed to disappeared.”

“… Kanata.”

“Hehe. Especially the old man who has been watching over me. Talking with him reminds me of my family back home. I really like him, so I want this place to get even more lively!”

Those were words straight from Kanata’s heart. 

The old man blinked his eyes for a moment before lowering his head as if hiding something, yet everyone present looked at him with kindness.

The guerrilla livestream by Haishin was a success, promoting the downtown area of the royal capital to a large audience. While immediate, tangible results might take some time to materialize, there was no doubt that the area had regained more vitality than before.

By the way, although Kanata appeared quite a bit on the livestream, the impact of Haishin, Maria, and Alphana was too strong, and he was quickly forgotten. This left Kanata with somewhat mixed feelings.
