The World’s Only Max-Level Lazy Introvert Accidentally Goes Viral After Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn off Her Dungeon Stream - 5

Chapter 5: The Lazy Introvert Who Unknowingly Shook the World

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Ple-Please wait!!”

“Hm..?”

Hearing Yuria called out to me made me stop on my track. I turned around without thinking much. 

What is it? I have a feeling that this is going to be troublesome…

She fiddled with her smartphone for a few seconds before she asked me. 

“Before you leave, please at least tell me your name. I want to know the name of the greatest explorer…”

“No, I mean, Umm…”

I scratched my cheek for a few seconds before turning my back on her again. 

“No.”

“Huh..?! Wh-Why not..?”

“Well, you’re famous, aren’t you? If someone like you were to know my name… Things are going to turn out horribly for me.”

“I-It won’t!”

Desperate to run away, I was met with Yuria’s determined gaze. Her gaze was so strong that I couldn’t move my feet. She must be quite stubborn, since she still showed no sign of giving up after I said no. She ran up to me, leaned in close and said again

“The-Then! Can you at least tell me your initials?! I-NI-TI-ALS!”

How to say it… She was pretty stubborn. If people were to know a famous streamer like her was cornering a guy like me, every man in this country would be weeping. 

“Umm…”

Scratching my cheek again, I quickly turned the gear in my brain to come up with an excuse. 

“Then… A.A I guess.”

“What do you mean by I guess? That’s definitely something you came up with on the spot!”

“No, no. It really is A.A.”

“Muu!! Muuu!!”

Puffing her cheeks adorably, Yuria stomped her feet at me. According to information I stumbled upon while surfing the internet, she should be only 17 years old. Since we were the same age, I guess it was only natural why she was easy to talk to (or so it seemed to me)

“Then at least you need to take the materials from the Death Devil Ogre! It would be a waste not to since it’s an S-rank monster!”

“No, no. I don’t need them. You can take all of it.”

“What? No,no,no! No matter what, it’s too―”

“But it’s just a Death Devil Ogre, you know? To be honest, I already have too much material from Death Devil Ogre. It’s not like the materials from Death Devil Ogre can be sold for a high price in the market anyway.”

“………..”

Yuria stared at me with her mouth agape for a good several seconds after I said that.

“Just… Just Death Devil Ogre…And you already have too much material from it… Are you being real? Seriously?”

“I mean what I just said. Okay? I don’t need any materials from Death Devil Ogre.”

“…”

“Well, that’s that I guess. Goodbye.”

“Ah! Wait..!!”

As I walked away, I could feel Yuria’s gaze on my back. While I felt a bit guilty for not telling her my name, but she was a famous streamer. For someone like me who wanted to avoid getting dragged by complicated stuff, a mere introduction could lead to disaster. I just wanted to enjoy my life exploring the dungeon as I pleased, just like I always had. 

Little did I know… My wish would be shattered to pieces the very next morning.

★★★

“Wha-What is this…?!”

Morning came and I was casually browsing the internet on my smartphone when a list of shocking news caught my eye. 

――A New Strongest Explorer That Surpasses Miyuru Has Appeared?!――

――Defeating the Powerful Death Devil Ogre Just by Breathing!――

――The Mysterious Explorer Is Said to Be a Second-Year Student at Gotsukiin High School?!――

――Even the Dungeon Bureau Is Searching for the Mysterious Boy?!――

“Wha-What….?! Ho-How…?!”

I threw my smartphone haphazardly and laid on my back. I covered my face with my hands. I knew that since Yuria was a famous streamer, the fight from yesterday would definitely get spread around. I actually didn’t want to get involved with her in the first place, but I still couldn’t force myself to ignore someone in need. Especially when someone was about to die. Hence why, I didn’t give Yuria my name. I knew that there was a chance the things I had done yesterday would be broadcasted on her stream. So, I at least wanted to keep my identity hidden, but then how…

It seemed I had severely underestimated the power of the internet. I never imagined my true identity would be revealed this quickly. Fortunately, none of the news articles had revealed my name yet. As long as I feigned innocence and acted like I didn’t know anything, I should be able to prevent my covers from getting blown up.

“Haaa… What a pain…”

With a sigh, I started getting ready for school.
