The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 120: Kanata-kun’s Struggles

Chapter 120: Kanata-kun’s Struggles

“I seem to lack aura.”

“No, that’s not true at all!”

“It’s actually quite convenient to have a disguise that lets you blend into the world. If you’re not giving off any aura, you can get away with a fair amount of recklessness.”

Kanata nodded, conceding the point.

Upon arriving at the Empire, there had been a light inquiry by the nobles. Yet, because Kanata emitted no distinct aura, he had managed to evade any complications.

Of course, this was also partly due to Isla’s magic. But what puzzled him was how, despite this, the women around him had managed to see through his real identity.

“Anyway, Kanata.”

“Hm?”

“We should start heading towards the castle soon.”

“Ah, right.”

They had been moving in the direction of the castle, where Rosalynde likely was, but for Kanata, the novelty of being in a new place meant he still felt like a tourist. 

Rosalynde was aware this was his first time in Glorious, so she’d probably be waiting patiently, fidgeting in anticipation.

“Don’t worry, Kanata-sama! Anise-sama and I are here, so there’s nothing to fret about. And this isn’t you raising a death flag or anything. It’s really okay!”

“… Haha, I see.”

The two were overwhelmingly reliable… However, even in moments like this, Kanata couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if Maria and Alphana were also here.

Well, if that happened, they might end up in a situation that would even break through divine protection. 

Shrugging off the thought with a wry smile, Kanata continued to walk.

“You’ve arrived.”

A solemn yet dignified voice echoed through the air.

Shortly after that, Kanata was escorted to the castle by Mira and Anise and quickly brought before Rosalynde. Around her were important figures like ministers, making it impossible for Kanata to take any careless actions.

(Well, I guess I’ll just have to be quiet.)

At this point, he was merely ordinary citizen A, or, at best, someone who had caught Anise’s eye.

“It’s been a while, Rosa-sama. If I may be so bold, I’d love to get some rest from the journey—”

“Indeed, that’s important. Let’s take you to a room right away.”

At Anise’s words, Rosalynde quickly rose from her seat.

“Leave us for a moment.”

“Understood… but if it’s just taking them to a room, we could—”

“It’s fine. Anise is someone close to me.”

Rosalynde’s tone was commanding, as if to say, “Don’t question what I’m doing.” It was an aura so powerful that even Kanata, who stood at a distance, shuddered. 

“Ah, this is what the War Deity is like,” he thought.

“Then let’s go, Anise. The rest of you may follow as well.”

With that, they headed toward the room designated for their stay.

“… Ohh.”

Kanata was stunned as he entered the room Rosalynde led him to. 

It was nothing short of luxurious. However, he was a bit puzzled by the presence of certain items—like imitation weapons—decorating the room.

For now, many things caught his interest, but Rosalynde only gave him a slight smile.

“I’ve been looking forward to seeing you again, Kanata.”

“You say that, but we’ve talked a lot through calls. It’s good to see you again, Rosa.”

“… It indeed feels good to be called by my name face-to-face.”

Rosalynde’s face flushed red, and she looked pleased. For Kanata, seeing this side of her, known as the War Deity, offered a surprising contrast.

(… What can I say? She’s incredibly beautiful, yet so cute.)

Although there was a considerable age gap between him and Rosalynde, Kanata couldn’t help but feel that way. It wasn’t just him. Anise felt the same, and it seemed that Mira, who silently watched like a shadow, agreed as well.

“Ahem! Now then, I’d like to get into various discussions right away. The representatives from the Principality will be arriving soon.”

It appeared that Athena and Cid would be arriving shortly.

Considering Athena’s status as a great noble, their security was expected to be extremely tight. If it became known that Haishin, who was critical for the upcoming event, had already entered the Empire, it could cause quite a stir.

“Well, that could be interesting. It’s not just Anise, but Raven is also here. It feels much safer than unnecessarily tightening security.”

“I’m grateful for that. I don’t mind excitement, but it’s my first time here. I’d like to take it easy at the start.”

Thanks to the lack of commotion, the journey so far had been relatively relaxing, which was a relief. However, planning for the upcoming event would soon be underway. Which meant…

“…!”

Kanata was now in the guise of Haishin, known for his signature mask. 

Why did he have to look like this for a meeting? Nonetheless, with others present, he had no choice but to fully assume the role of Haishin.

“Impressive… Haishin!”

“You look so cool!”

“…I’m smitten ♪.”

Now, Kanata, do your very best. 

For the next few days, you can’t let your guard down; you’ll have to be Haishin throughout.
