The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 118: Departure to the Empire!

Chapter 118: Departure to the Empire!

Finally, finally, the time had come.

Kanata found himself at the landing port for airships, an area developed along with advancements in technology. Holding a considerable amount of luggage, Kanata stood flanked by Mira and Anise—both originally from the Empire and his companions for this journey.

Seeing them off were Maria and Alphana.

“I’ll miss you.”

“Yes… Kanata-sama, please return safely.”

“Got it. I’ll leave my mark and come back in high spirits!”

Though Kanata spoke confidently, it was needless to say he was extremely nervous.

The presence of Maria and Alphana, the princess-saint duo, had stirred up quite a buzz. Though the magic of Isla played a significant role in this commotion, sadly, it seemed the crowd was more interested in the well-groomed Mira and Anise than Kanata.

“Both of you, rest assured! I will definitely protect Kanata-sama!”

“That’s right. Just leave it to us.”

At the words of Mira and Anise, Maria and Alphana nodded.

Finally, the time for departure arrived—waving goodbye to the two, Kanata boarded the airship. From here, he would head directly to the Empire’s airship landing port without any layovers.

“Ohh…”

Kanata had boarded an airship before when he traveled to the town of Fortuna, a journey that had led him to meet Anise. However, the interior was incredibly luxurious, promising a comfortable sky journey.

Although this airship was publicly a passenger airship, in reality, it was one of the airships owned by Rosalynde. It had been deployed solely under the pretext of picking up Anise, who had some degree of connection to the imperial family.

“Anise-sama, we’re at your service.”

“Yup~ Let’s have a good trip to the Empire~”

“Of course. We promise a comfortable sky journey for your two friends as well.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you!”

The airship’s crew seemed to have no idea that the unassuming Kanata was Haishin. On the contrary, their expressions revealed their puzzlement over how such an ordinary-looking man could know Anise.

It was an understandable reaction, but it was not one that should be displayed in front of Anise.

“Isn’t it rude to look at him that way? He’s a dear friend to me. Don’t give him that look again.”

“!? My apologies!”

Startled by Anise, who spoke with the power of ice magic, the crew hastily retreated.

“Really, how rude.”

“Haha… Thanks, Anise…?”

As Kanata thanked Anise, he heard the sound of a sword unsheathing from the opposite side. Turning around, he saw Mira holding her sword, gazing in the direction the man had left. Understanding her intention, he lightly tapped her forehead as if to say, “Stop it.”

“Ah, sorry, I just—”

It would be bad if she ended up killing someone impulsively, Kanata sighed.

Although these were trivial incidents, the airship carrying Kanata and the others took off. Technology had advanced so much that they no longer needed the power of a wyvern to travel.

“… Yawn.”

“Are you sleepy, Anise-san?”

“Yeah… I didn’t get much sleep last night, actually.”

“Are you okay?”

Kanata asked, concerned. 

However, it seemed her lack of sleep was not a cause for worry. She was just too excited about the upcoming events and her long-awaited return home.

“So, I’m going to take a nap.”

Anise put on her eye mask, laid down, and seemed to fall asleep.

“She fell asleep, huh.”

“Yeah… Sigh.”

Anise was incredibly excited about today’s event and the ones that would follow tomorrow, and Kanata felt the same.

Although, from Kanata’s perspective, the feeling of nervousness outweighed the excitement. Rosalynde was responsible for overseeing the general flow of events, so all he had to do was follow along. Of course, Kanata had his own things he wanted to do, and he was fairly confident that Rosalynde would accommodate his wishes as much as possible. Still, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Don’t worry, Kanata-sama! Our abilities may be limited, but we’ll all support you as much as we can!”

“… Haha, thank you, Mira.”

Just having someone to cheer him on was enough for Kanata.

Although the number of people who could physically be there to support him was limited, those who couldn’t be there—like Maria and Alphana—would probably be watching the livestream. This realization fueled Kanata with a sense of purpose. He couldn’t afford to look inept.

(Having come this far, I have no choice but to give it my all. Some pressure is inevitable… but I have to enjoy this too.)

In his previous life, he had watched countless live-streamed events. An event was only considered great if both the performers and the viewers enjoyed it.

“… Alright!”

“That’s the spirit, Kanata-sama!”

As for the streaming part, Mira and Anise might not be able to provide significant support, but just having them watch was satisfying enough for Kanata. He was determined to truly enjoy this event.

However, he mustn’t forget. Outside the Kingdom, there were countless forces targeting Haishin, and many would even risk their lives to eliminate the livestreaming culture.

Be careful, Kanata. 

Should something happen to you—though it’s unlikely—the world, with heaven at its pinnacle, would shatter.
