Chapter 04: Women with a keen sense of smell are scary
â⊠Fuwaa, I slept well~â
When Kanata woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was shout loudly.
It would usually be a nuisance to be so loud so early in the morning, but it is at times like this that having your own room is convenient.
âLetâs get the h**l out of here and eat.â
The school Kanata attends has many facilities.
It may be because it is a royal educational institution, representative of the Royal Capital, or because the princess attends it, but the school received lots of attention.
After getting dressed briefly, he headed to the cafeteria to find a good number of students.
Kanata walks among them as they gather individually to eat breakfast at the table.
(I love to have toast and egg tarts in the morningâŠ)
There are some dishes that are quite similar to the ones from his previous life.
Thanks to this, there is nothing but good feelings of nostalgia and freshness from dishes he has never seen before.
By the way, Kanata usually eats breakfast alone.
There is no one for him to talk to, and nobody ever talks to him either⊠Kanata doesnât feel so lonely, to the extent that he doesnât even think about it.
After breakfast, Kanata returned to his room and looked at his account information on the terminal.
âIâve accumulated so much, huh⊠Thank god thereâs no tax return in this world.â
During the course of his work as Haishin, he has saved a considerable amount of money by donations.
So much so that it would be enough to build a villa with a great view and still have enough change to pay for it.
There is no advertising now, so the only way to make money when streaming is through donations.
âI never wouldâve thought that anyone would donate so much money to me, butâŠâ
He really didnât expect that much.
Kanata has customized his page so well that people who enjoy watching his streams can express their feelings easily if they wish to support him.
Thanks to that, he often donated a lot of money. A prime example is Nameless Princess, who can be considered a very wealthy personâŠ
âWell, thereâs nothing wrong with having money. Iâm grateful.â
Money doesnât betray you. In fact, money is the only thing you can believe in. There is basically nothing you canât do with money in any world.
After finishing the preparations to head to the academy, Kanata left the room with his luggage in hand.
He still walks down the road with no one next to him.
It would have been nice to have at least one friend since Kanata has always been alone.
âMorning~â
When he entered the classroom attended by S-ranked magicians, he greeted them, though barely anyone heard his voice. Still, it was better than saying nothing.
By the way, Maria, who helped him yesterday, is SSS rank, and the two noble students who got involved are both S rank.
Those two guys glared at him from within the classroom as if they were still bitter about yesterdayâs incident.
â⊠Sigh. What a pain.â
Kanata found the piercing gaze bothersome, so he plopped down on his desk.
He was going to do nothing and wait until the teacher in charge came, but the girls gathered next to him started talking.
âYesterdayâs stream was interesting, right?â
âYeah. Though heâs got a bad mouth, his comments are right. I couldnât get used to it at first, but recently Iâve become a bigger fan than ever.â
âItâs sort of addictive, no? And now heâs become so popular too. So much that one of his words holds enough power to change an entire nation.â
Kanataâs ears twitched.
The girls wouldnât have believed that Haishin, Kanataâs persona, was nearby.
But Kanata had no intention of introducing himself to them because, even if he did, they wouldnât believe him.
(Believe it or not, it feels great. Being a celebrity is the best!)
It made him wonder for a moment if this is how it felt to be an influencer in his original world.
Kanata is the only person who can stream in this world.
Several people have tried to imitate him, but no one has ever been able to do it because it requires a huge amount of magic power.
So Kanata is the only one dominating this path.
âAs they say, a streamer⊠but Iâm a little different. Though it reads the same way, Iâm a Haishin-sha, and Iâm gonna run through that road.â
[TLN: Haishin-sha are also streamers, but they usually hide their identity with a mask or change their voice through editing. Basically, they want to remain anonymous, just like hackers?]
It was his dream.
Even with his limitless magic power, he neither had the interest in becoming a hero nor any desire to conquer the world.
[TLN: äżștueeeee (Iâm OP) expression is somewhat confusing to deal with.]
All he wants to do is to stream.
(⊠As of now, itâs just voice only, but I hope to be able to do video stream, at least by showing my hands. Letâs see what I can do to improve.)
He had no idea how long it would take, but itâd be fun to introduce some of the fascinating items in this world. Kanata laughed while thinking about it.
The time passed quickly, and the joint class from SSS rank to S rank began.
There were a fair number of people because everyone got told that a court magician, the pride of the kingdom, was coming to give them a lecture on something.
â⊠How boring.â
Having infinite magical power is a cheat because there is almost nothing Kanata canât do regarding magic power.
Even if the court magician can use higher rank magic, the lower rank magic that Kanata can unleash is far greater in terms of strength and range.
âAs you can see, magic is your imagination andââ
The people in the classroom listened to him seriously, but from Kanataâs point of view, it was boring.
He yawned in secret, trying not to be obvious, but apparently, someone sitting next to him had seen what he had just done.
â?â
â⊠Hun, S-Class, huh?â
The guy who snickered was a handsome guy.
The golden badge on his chest indicates that he belongs to the SSS class, so from his point of view, he was just mocking Kanata, who is a lower rank.
Well. From Kanataâs point of view, everyone is at a lower rank when it comes to magic power, and the provocation of that handsome man meant nothing.
âWell yeah, itâs still boring.â
With that said, Kanata looked forward.
At the same time, Kanata felt extreme hostility from his neighbours. He wondered if he had provoked them.
Then it became time for practical exercise, and many students gathered around a few individuals, one of whom was Maria and the handsome man from earlier.
âFire!â
Itâs an exercise to see if you can accurately hit the target with lower-class fire magic.
Anyone can do it with little effort, but apparently, a boy from the commoner side was struggling even though he was trying his best.
Even if your magic rank is high, casting and accurately releasing your magic is another matter.
âHow pathetic, like a commoner.â
âHey, hey. Donât try in the first place if youâre going to show such embarrassment.â
He felt sorry for the boy who was about to cry at the yapping from the nobles.
As a result, the boy didnât do well and became the laughing stock of the nobility.
âNext, Kanata-san, please.â
âOh.â
Kanata stepped forward as he got called.
He felt the same uncomfortable stares from the noble students as before.
But that still means nothing to Kanata.
âFire.â
He muttered shortly, and a small fireball headed for the target.
The scale looked too small, but it loudly exploded when it hit the target.
âWell done, Kanata-san. Everyone, this is how a good magic invocation is cast.â
Kanata had no idea what to do as nobles stared at him in frustration, while commoners started with jealousy. He simply returned back to his position.
It was then Maria walked beside him and said,
âIâve been watching you for a while now. You have got some skills.â
âThank you.â
The other guys would probably cry with joy, but Kanata wanted her to get away from him as soon as possible. The number of stares directed at him was unbearable.
â⊠You see.â
âWhat is it?â
â⊠Nevermind. Iâm just a little concerned about your accent.â
âAccent?â
âSo are you saying that there is something wrong with my pronunciation?
Without a second word, Maria walked away quickly. Kanata was left wondering why on earth did it bother her if he pronounced something differently.
