The World’s Only Max-Level Lazy Introvert Accidentally Goes Viral After Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn off Her Dungeon Stream - 9

Chapter 9 :A Famous Streamer’s Sudden Confession

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Huh? It doesn’t hurt?”

“Yeah. I guess it hurts a bit? Just a little bit though.”

We were in a park near Gotsukiin High School. I was sitting on a bench with Yuria. At first, she wanted to bring me to a nearby hospital, but my injury wasn’t that bad to warrant a hospital visit. Besides, going to a hospital seemed like a lot of trouble, so I politely declined her offer. 

“Really? Are you lying? After all… You were hit so many times…”

“There’s no way a punch from an amateur like him could hurt me. I was able to take all of them just fine.”

When I was being hit by Onizuka, I shifted my body in the same direction of his fist or I subtly blocked the blows without letting him notice it. Although I was taking on all of Onizuka’s attacks, but I wasn’t completely defenseless. Of course, my defense status of 99.999 didn’t have any effect outside the dungeon. It hurt, but there was no way I could be seriously injured by an amateur like Onizuka who could only swing his fist haphazardly like that. To be honest, I was planning to skillfully dodge the attack and get my old reputation back so I wouldn’t have to deal with any future problems, but Yuria’s sudden arrival threw everything off the balance.

“…By the way, how did you know I’m from Gotsukiin High School? I don’t recall ever telling you my school.”

“Fufu~ Don’t worry about that. I’ve acquired all of Ren-kun’s information!☆~”

“Haah…”

Yuria said while giving me a thumbs up, causing me to sigh. She was still wearing a hat and a sunglasses. If she didn’t she would be causing quite a commotion given how famous she was. It was clear to see that she was trying to hide her identity. 

“So? What brings the great Yuria here? I’m just an ordinary high school boy. I don’t see any reason why a celebrity like you would have anything to do with me.”

“No,no,no! Someone who can take down a Death Devil Ogre in an instant is anything but an ordinary high school boy!”

Yuria retorted sharply before she continued.

“…I’m here to repay a favor.”

She said. 

“Huh? Repay a favor?”

“Yeah. Because… Ren-kun just went off on your own back then. I thought it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t repay the favor…”

“I told you already. You don’t need to mind it. A Death Devil Ogre is not a big deal anyway.”

“Muuu~ What a cold person~”

Yuria puffed out her cheeks and turned away before muttering in a small voice. 

“Also… I want you to call me Shiori. Shiori Sakura is my real name.”

“..Hm.”

I see. That made sense. Yuria was a super famous person after all. If I were to call her by the handle name she used on video-sharing platforms, we would definitely attract a lot of attention. That was something I’d rather avoid. 

“Alright. Shiori. I’m not hoping for any kind of repayment, so you don’t need to feel indebted to me. That’s why, it’d be nice if you don’t get involved with me—”

“Then, I will also call you Ren-kun from now on~♪”

“Oi! Were you even listening to me?!”

“I am, you know? That’s precisely why I interrupted you~♪”

“You…!”

I had been thinking about this, but she was really persistent. I heard her bright and carefree persona was what attracted so many fans to her. Her persona was the reason why her channel could grow so rapidly. Hence why, seeing Shiori fuming with anger earlier was really a shock to me and everyone else.

“Although I said earlier that I wanted to repay your favor, but the truth is… There’s another reason why I’m here.”

“Huh? Another reason?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, don’t beat around the bush. Just say it clearly.”

For some reason, Shiori fell silent. She looked down at her lap. Her cheeks flushed, and she kept sending glances at me shyly. This behavior was more than enough reason for me to  think of a certain possibility.

“Hey, don’t tell me you—”

“Yeah, that’s right. Ever since you saved me yesterday… I’ve fallen in love with you.”

U-Uwah~ I had a vague feeling that might be the case based on how she acted, but… I really didn’t expect I was right. Having a famous streamer fall in love with me was practically the end of my ordinary life. 

“Give it up. I’m just an outcast introvert. Liking me won’t do you any good.”

“That’s not true! That relaxed expression of yours! Your slightly opened collar, revealing a glimpse of your smooth skin! The fact that looks like you couldn’t care less! Everything about you is so sexy and cool! You’re exactly my type, to the point I want to start dating you right this minute―Ack-! Cough!! Cough!!”

“Hey, calm down…!”

I still couldn’t catch most of the things she said since she talked really fast, but I definitely caught the impression that she must be a bit of an oddball. 

“Tha-That’s why… I will chase after you. No matter where you go~♡”

“N-No matter where I go…?”

“Yes! That’s why, let’s exchange contact information!♪ Let’s get to know each other more!”

“…”

Before I could say anything, Shiori was quick to hold her phone out. She was grinning from ear to ear, as if the possibility of me refusing her request didn’t even exist in the first place. Rather than persistent… Maybe this girl actually had a bit of a yandere bone in her?

“Haa… Alright. Fine. I will give you my contact information.”

“Yaaaay!~ I did it!~ Thank you very much, God, Buddha, Oomomo-sama!~”

“I get it, I get it already. Calm down…”

And so, we exchanged our contact information. The contact information of Shiori, a super famous streamer. Everyone in Japan would be dying to have it… No, not just in Japan. Everyone in the whole world. For me to accept her contact information so nonchalantly like this… I felt like my ordinary high school student life was slowly drifting further and further from me. 

Well, the general audience of her stream probably didn’t know this side of Shiori.

“Fufufu~ Thank you, Ren-kun. I will treasure your contact information for the rest of my life!♪”

“You really don’t need to go that far. In fact, if you’re going to treasure something, it’s better if you choose something that’s really important.”

“Well, for me, this is the most important thing that I have. You see, I’ve never had anyone I liked before. I’m so happy I got to meet you, Ren-kun. Which is why…”

Shiori went into her usual rambles before she suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Gotsukiin High School. She then smiled. 

“I’m going to make sure that everyone who’s been bullying my precious Ren-kun will get their divine retribution.”
