The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following - 136: The Hustle Behind the Big Event

Chapter 136: The Hustle Behind the Big Event

“…”

“What’s the matter?”

“Haishin-sama, what’s wrong?”

Kanata was troubled… deeply troubled.

The reason for this was the recent launch of audio experiences and ASMR, along with suitable earphones to listen to them… and also other merchandise like Haishin-sama T-shirts and keyholders, which were supervised by Cid of the Principality, Maria, and Alphana, were selling like hotcakes.

The cost for setting up and preparing for this event was huge, but even after deducting those costs from the sales, the profit was enormous.

“…”

In this world, there’s no such thing as tax filing, so no matter how much they sold, they wouldn’t have to pay taxes, and the more they sold, the richer Kanata and those who cooperated became… But why, despite such circumstances, was Kanata so troubled… no, feeling so withdrawn? The answer lay in the scene before him.

“ASMR! Give me ASMR too!”

“Hey, hey, it hasn’t sold out yet, right!? Audio experiences! I want Audio experiences too!!”

“Don’t push!”

“Huh!? Who are you to tell us not to push infront of Haishin-sama!?”

“I’m saying don’t push!”

“So, what do you mean don’t push; why are you even here!”

“I can’t stand these people anymore!”

The scene was chaotic… and far too noisy.

It’s gratifying for him to witness people seeking out the products he has created. There’s a cycle at play where individuals who have won the experience through a lottery express their gratitude to Kanata for the wonderful time, and those inspired by them subsequently seek out similar experiences. 

While the term “withdrawing” may seem somewhat blunt, it actually reflects the high demand for what Kanata has created.

“We’re sorry! The earphones are now sold out!”

“The ASMR is sold out!”

“The audio experiences are sold out!”

“The Haishin-sama T-shirts are sold out!”

“The keyholders are sold out!”

As items sold out one after another, the venue remained abuzz, not without some cries of dismay. 

Fortunately, amidst the chaos, there hasn’t been any significant scuffling; both adults and children are more or less maintaining order… Undoubtedly, Kanata’s presence, and perhaps Rosalynde’s as well, contribute to the good manners.

“Sigh.”

For Kanata, there wasn’t much left to do at this stage.

So, he let out a breath of relief, but then, for some reason, Rosalynde appeared before him.

Kanata, tilting his head in confusion, was met with a smile from Rosalynde, who then spoke.

“Anise, take Haishin-dono to the back. It’s about noon, so it’s time for a break—we’ll make an announcement to the attendees from our side.”

“Understood. Then, Haishin-sama, let’s head back first.”

No, I can still go on.

Kanata was about to say just that, but truth be told, after the preparations yesterday and facing today’s fervor, he was indeed exhausted and wanted to rest.

After stepping down from the stage, he entered the prepared green room and flopped down into a chair with a sigh.

“I thought I was confident in my stamina…”

“It can’t be helped. You’ve been traveling long distances since the day before yesterday, after all.”

“That’s true, but… you know, I’m still young.”

“Fufu. Even so, you can get tired, you know?”

It’s natural for anyone to feel tired.

He could only rest for about an hour, but right after eating, Kanata attempted to sleep, and Anise was there to support him.

“Since Maria and the others aren’t here, I’ll protect you for now. Come on, lean on me and sleep?”

“…Thanks, Anise.”

“Yes.”

And so, Kanata fell asleep, resting his head on Anise’s shoulder.

However… despite expecting Mira to be there, her presence was notably absent.

Where could she have possibly gone?

“Good grief, ‘kill the big star now’ is quite the request, huh?”

A woman was peering through a scope, a little away from the imperial capital.

She was watching Haishin through her scope—yes, she had Haishin in her sights from that spot.

The distance was considerable, and for a normal person… no, even for experienced soldiers attuned to the slightest presence, noticing her would be impossible.

“Raven has disappeared, and with him, the title of the world’s greatest assassin—well, not that I intend to claim it for myself. Being celebrated is more trouble than it’s worth… I wonder if Raven felt the same?”

The woman continued speaking while still peering through her scope.

“Haishin… I’m not particularly interested, and I’ll just do the job if I’m hired… but this one is in the way.”

Emperor Rosalynde standing in front of Haishin she was aiming at was an inconvenience.

For a moment, she thought she had been noticed because it seemed like Rosalynde stood up to shield Haishin, but that wasn’t the case… The woman knew she hadn’t been detected by Rosalynde, thanks to her unique vision.

“…”

In this world, magic exists… and within it, there are a few beings with rare abilities.

Something akin to a unique skill, which the woman possessed.

Called Hawk Eye, it’s a vision that can see landscapes tens of kilometers away, and also a skill that nullifies distance attenuation for long-range attacks she launches.

With her ability, the power of her shots doesn’t diminish with distance, and the bullets don’t drop, meaning if she fires, the bullet will travel straight towards the target within her line of sight—thus, making her well-suited for assassination.

“…Tch.”

With Rosalynde standing in front, Haishin disappeared into the background.

The woman clicked her tongue at the missed once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it was all the same convenient—for there was an enemy at hand that needed to be dealt with.

“So, who might you be, coming here?”

At the woman’s question, a shadow under the shade of the trees shifted.

It took form, creating a girl in a cloak.

“…A child?”

“Good grief. If you had just pulled the trigger, I could have subdued you in that instant.”

“Oh? You seem quite confident, don’t you?”

“I am—because if anyone tries to put that person in danger, my anger powers me up.”

Despite saying it’s a power-up, the woman was aware of the girl’s anger and kept her gun aimed while maintaining a safe distance.

“Well, I’m not someone who bothers with formal introductions. But I’ll tell you how I noticed this place—I’m a big fan of Haishin-sama, so I could sense your malice.”

“…Ha?”

“The moment I realized you were here, I ran straight over.”

“…Yes?”

The woman was taken aback, not understanding what she was being told.

The cloaked girl revealed her face and smirked, brandishing a sword.

Indeed, the one who appeared was Mira.
