Chapter 31: Consequences of Success
November 7th, 2088
Can the Redemption project be moved up to today? This was the thought that repeated over and over in my head as I walked to school with Hikari. Based on how much she was gushing about the show and in particular Yamamoto Rin, who has quickly gained the nickname Rin-sama, school is going to be an absolute nightmare. And now Reiji has arrived with a freaking button on his bookbag that has Rins face and the words I dont really care about your opinions written beneath it. How the hell did they make those that fast?!?
Hikari-chan! Did you see Japans Rising Idol last night!?! He shouted without even saying good morning. Yeah, Reiji-kun! Rin-sama was so amazing! Hikari started gushing She was just so cool when she walked onto the stage dignified and composed like a queen (5% Damage)! That outfit was so cool and she was so beautiful (10% Damage)! Then she started singing and it was incredible! (25% Damage). Reiji eagerly joined in the conversation as I kept taking damage.
Yeah! And then when she heard the audience cheering for her and gave that shy smile it was breath-taking (35% Damage)! The ice queen having such a sweet and innocent side is so moe (45% Damage)! This combo assault was ruthless and unrelenting on my psyche, please stop you guys. But no, Reiji then viciously dealt me another hit. He turned slightly red and then said Honestly, I think I may have fallen for her. Critical hit! Player Terra has taken 100% Damage and is unable to continue!
Hey you guys, did you see Japans Rising Idol? It was incredible, right? The boy asking us was someone who had been in my class in the past. I dont know his name though. Honestly speaking I dont know any of the names of my classmates. Why bother learning the names of people I dont give a damn about? Ive had far more important things to focus on over the past few years. It does make the rare conversation with them more difficult though.
Reiji jumped at the chance to gush with this kid It was awesome! Rin-sama was so cool and poised! She has such an amazing voice! The boy gave a somewhat vulgar smile and replied Her voice was amazing, but it was her body that stole the show. He continued speaking, not noticing how close to death he was coming as I tried to control my temper. She has an awesome rack and the sexiest curves I have ever seen. And that cold look she always has on her face is such a turn on.
Stop there. Stop there and you may yet survive this. Reiji was not helping the situation as he nodded in agreement. But the boy decided to give one last push If she was my girl there would definitely be a different look on her face. If you know what I mean. He made a lewd expression on his face to clearly transmit what he meant. Immediately after that, he felt a fierce pressure that rattled his very soul.
The force of my full bloodlust is something fearsome indeed. Less than a second after this pervert received my bloodlust his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed. Had I not subconsciously restrained myself at the last moment I could have caused some lasting damage. The class immediately noticed and crowded around him Arata-kun! Are you alright? Someone get the school nurse! Abe-san has fainted! What in the world happened? Oh, it looks this guys name was Abe Arata. I finally learned the name of one of my classmates. And I even managed to stop the classs discussion on Japans Rising Idol. Good.
Its becoming increasingly clear that I have to get kicked off Japans Rising Idol as soon as possible. I dont have the courage to tank a performance and possibly get booed, but I dont believe that I have the mental strength to last if every day after an episode is like this. My only hope is to continue tanking personality evaluations. The audience support should die down as long as I dont do anything special. Then I will get eliminated and be free from being Rin-sama.
