Living in a Class-Ba Chapter 17: Gaming Stream

Chapter 17: Gaming Stream

On the day of the Gaming Stream Service Yuuta went to a special facility within the Exclusive Male Zone. A room for his stream had been booked. The equipnt itself was cutting-edge, including the newest PC.

Preparations for his stream had already finished beforehand, so all Yuuta had to do was to sit down and play the ga.

I didnt expect so at first, but this looks like a fairly efficient Service as well, doesnt it? I an I just have to play any ga I like.

The Streaming Service had been announced to start at 7 p.m. But, the announcent didnt ntion a finishing ti. It was normal for the shorter streams to last thirty minutes while the longer ones would take around an hour.

During a normal Streaming Service, it was customary for the man to introduce himself and offer so greeting words at the beginning, but it wasnt rare for n to remain silent for the rest of the stream thereafter.

The stream ca with a chat function, allowing won to comnt (although they had to pay for it), but those comnts wouldnt be read. In the first place, it was common for the guys to hide the chat section. n didnt know anything about the won watching the gaming stream, so they wouldnt act cheerful while catering to the wons wishes either. Of course, that attitude would likely change, if the stream was limited to influential won of high families.

I wanted to try doing a paid stream once I beca a D-Rank, but I totally hadnt expected that the state would sack most of the fees by the subs Well, considering it carefully, it makes sense, I guess. A mans assets are managed by the country after all.

Yuuta had heard about paid streams by n from Shizuku during their Video Call, but most of the fees paid by the won when subscribing were managed by the state. Going by the standards of Yuutas forr world, you could even say that n werent allowed to even have any Property Rights in this world.

All the money a man could use was managed by the state. Of course, n were provided with all necessities of life, and they were also permitted to possess a certain amount of money. They were even allowed to have an extent of luxury. But, the existence of male millionaires or billionaires, like they existed in the Old World, was prohibited. 1

Even though won are allowed to be super rich, n are not. n can lead a fairly good life if they carry out their Service Activities diligently, and unless they fuck up quite badly, theyre being taken care of at an old age as well. But, you cannot describe that as a wonderful life. Just like the n of this world naturally possess sexual desires, they also seek authority and money they can wield freely. And for that reason all the n are doing their best in their quest to form strong ties with rich high family won, I suppose.

Hence, Yuuta wouldnt be able to beco a famous strear and rake in loads of cash like so did in his forr world. But what mattered for Yuuta most right now was to perform Service Activities for the sake of raising his Male Rank. And if he could do that by simply playing the gas he liked, he had nothing to complain about.

Okay, its 7 p.m. Ti to start!

Yuutas gaming stream began.

Nice to et you, everyone. Im Yuuta, a junior high third-year student of Toukyou. Thank you very much for having co to watch my gaming stream today.

The chat imdiately got filled with comnts due to his polite greeting. Because you had to pay for the ability to chat, it ant that all the won writing there had forked over real money. Of course, you wouldnt find any won spamming like mad. The na displayed in front of a comnt was a womans real na and her accounts private information was accessible by the state, so any woman would imdiately lose the ability to watch a stream ever again, if she spamd the chat.

Mayumi: Please do your best, Yuuta-sama!

Lisa: I hope you can enjoy the stream, Yuuta-sama!

It ward Yuutas heart to see Mayumis na preceding the very first comnt. And Lisas comnt, which ca in second with a very small delay, made Yuuta break out into a cheerful smile.

Following Mayumi and Lisa, Sarah, Michiru, Mai, and the other won of Kanda Sports kept comnting in succession. In addition, the doctor and the nurses from his physical examination as well as the won, who had received Yuutas Video Call Service, made comnts. Shizukus na was among them, too.

Shizuku: I am looking forward to your gaming stream!

It was free to watch his stream, but since these won had paid to comnt, Yuuta thanked them.

Thank you for all the nice comnts. Please have fun watching my stream. Today I want to play a ga called God of War.

God of War was exactly like Nioh, a ga Yuuta had loved to play in his previous world. It belonged to the category of death gas, aning its difficulty level was quite high.

This will be my first playthrough, so Ill do my best!

Yuuta started the ga while comnting on it with a bright voice. Yuutas stream where he cheerfully talked about his thoughts of the ga and explained what could be seen on the screen, proceeded smoothly.

Its a real sha that I dont know how many people are watching.

The viewer count wasnt revealed to the man during his gaming stream. The n of this world didnt need to care about view counts and other statistics to begin with, but Yuuta felt a bit disappointed that he couldnt get any feedback.

In God of War you had to make a character first. Because he had requested for his character to look just like him in advance, the character displayed on screen was a ga copy of Yuuta.

Ahahaha, this avatar totally looks like I do.

Mayumi: I want to know the paraters of the character maker!

Lisa: I would love to make a Yuuta-sama character, too!!

Ah, the character paraters, huh? Umm, they look sothing like this.

The character maker of God of War allowed quite a bit of detail, so it had a fair share of paraters. In other words, the character maker had been designed so elaborately that you could recreate the faces of celebrities with it. Yuuta briefly showed the parater settings of his own character.

Ill go with a Switchglaive as a weapon.

He chose a weapon resembling his preferred weapon in Nioh, and imdiately challenged the first stage. God of War was no open-world ga, but one where you selected different stages. Yuuta thought that the first stage would host a tutorial, but instead he was imdiately squared off against a cow-like apparition with the strength of a boss near his starting point.

Ooh, that one looks super tough!

God of War was similar to Nioh, but the cows behavioral patterns were different. The mobs difficulty was apparently set to be even higher than the cow in Nioh, resulting in Yuuta dying many tis over, despite having gaming experience from his old life.

Hmm, Im really struggling to predict its movents.

As Yuuta beca fixated on sohow defeating the cow, the won wrote supportive comnts in the chat section.

Shizuku: Itd be better to skip that enemy and go ahead!

Shizukus suggestion was reasonable. There was no need for Yuuta to force himself to defeat the monster. He could likewise co back after going ahead and becoming stronger.

But, Yuuta was adamant about defeating the cow. Because it was a ga, he wanted to enjoy clearing a hard challenge.

Youre right. Itd be okay to skip this guy, but I feel like I can defeat it, so Ill keep at it!

At that point, thirty minutes of streaming had already passed. The won watching the stream thought that the Streaming Service might end without the cow being defeated.

Because it wasnt unusual for Streaming Services to end after thirty minutes, they suspected that Yuuta might beco upset about not being able to defeat the monster anyti soon and quit the stream then and there.

But, so won thought differently. Not to ntion the won who had received Yuutas Service in the past, but even the number of won, who watched this stream while harboring a newly found expectation due to Yuuta happily talking to them and reacting to their comnts, had been gradually growing.

Yuuta wasnt aware of it, but no male strear would react to the wons comnts in chat. The won hoping that he might react to their own comnts rapidly grew in number.

Now to the right! Ill dodge to the right and slash oncedont beco greedydont beco greedy. Watch all the attacks and play it safaaaaaargh! I got too greedy there!!! And just after I admonished myself to play it safe!!! Ahahaha.

Yuuta enjoyed playing the ga even while dying. And because no male strear would exhibit such plain joy while streaming, the won steadily beca more passionate about this, too.

As a matter of fact, only a few viewers of Yuutas Streaming Service were actually regular viewers of male Stream Services. And most of the high family won were absent from this stream, too. Moreover, many of the common citizens didnt hold many expectations either, limiting their own hopes to at least catching his initial greetings.

But if you just looked at the actual event, the Streaming Service had begun with a polite greeting and continued to show Yuuta playing the ga while joyfully raising his voice many tis over.

And then, after another thirty minutes had passed, Yuuta defeated God of Wars first Slaughter Cow Apparition.

Yahooo! I got it! I finally killed it! Maaaan, that thing was sooo hard!

Yuutas broad smile could be seen on the streaming screen. It was one full of satisfaction over having surmounted a hard challenge.

Lisa: Congratulations, Yuuta-sama!

Mayumi: Congratulations!!!

One comnt after the other congratulated him for his victory, and Yuuta reacted to those.

Thanks, Lisa-san. Mayumi-san, thanks to you too. Sarah-san, Shizuku-san, thanks to you as well. Umm, Yuuta read the nas of those congratulating him while giving his thanks. Without noticing that this was anything but common.

Sumire-san, thanks. Fumika-san, thanks. Umm

He kept reading the nas. Because Yuuta himself was also aware that the stream was coming to its end tiwise, he wanted to express his thanks to those, who had made comnts, by reading their nas at the end. Even in his previous world, strears often gave their thanks to users who had paid donations during the stream. But, in this world it was a really huge deal for a woman to get a man to read her na.

Yuuta gradually beca flustered by the endless stream of comnts.

At this rate, just thanking everyone is going to take more than an hour, isnt it?

But, at the sa ti he felt bad about finishing the stream without thanking those who went out of their way to comnt. Accordingly he instructed the completely autonomous robot, which had been supporting the gaming stream, Can you disable the function to make new comnts?

Yes. As you wish

As soon as a chanic voice answered Yuuta, it beca impossible to write new comnts.

Umm, my ti here is limited, so I had them disable the chat function. Itll take a bit of ti, but Ill thank everyone who was kind enough to comnt on my stream up until now, and then Id like to finish the stream. Okay thenLilika-san, thank you

Although the inflow of new comnts had stopped, it took Yuuta another two hours to finish reading all the nas of those who had comnted.

Pheewnow Ive read all the nas of those who comnted. If I should have forgotten your na, please forgive ! Umm, today ended with

only defeating the first cow monster, but I had a lot of fun. If possible, Id like to do another gaming stream at so point, so please co and watch

next ti as well. Well then, thanks for watching everyone. And good night to all of you!

Haaahdidnt this go well, considering it was my first ti?

Good work

Itd be great if it earns

a good rating.

The rating will be decided by tomorrow

The rating of the Streaming Service would be set after the state made a comprehensive ruling on it. Because the wrap-up would be handled by the robot, Yuuta left the streaming room, climbed into a floating box, and drove back to his own apartnt.

On the next day, the state ruled Yuutas Streaming Service as a B.

Imdiately after Yuutas Streaming Service ended, a certain thread started in the wons network community. That network community was mainly used by common citizens.

The thread was about Yuuta who had been treated as Shut-in Trash thus far. The evaluation of Yuuta over there was split, resulting in heated debates. One side consisted of won who passionately supported Yuuta, while the other side didnt evaluate him highly since it was a fact that he still remained an F-Rank. As one might guess, the won evaluating Yuuta lowly hadnt watched his Streaming Service.

Streaming Services werent archived, and it was also forbidden to arbitrarily record and upload those streams. As such, the won, who couldnt watch the stream while it was live, couldnt approve of or believe in the won vouching for Yuuta.

The common citizens were getting all excited in good or bad ways, but a similar split in Yuutas evaluation had occurred among the high families, too.

Many high family won, who regarded the F-Rank Yuuta indifferently as they didnt have the capabilities to gather intelligence despite being high family mbers, werent aware of Yuutas existence as they didnt watch his Streaming Service, nor did they know about his evaluation.

So among the high family won, who were aware of Yuuta, gave him a fairly bad rating. They clamored about him buttering up to the common citizens for the sake of raising his rating as the shut-in F-Rank scum he was, and deprecated him for looking down on them.

On the other hand, so high families also rated Yuuta very highly. They rejoiced that they might be able to look forward to his future exploits without caring overly much about his reputation thus far. And they also thought that itd be fine to approve of him as a man worthy of being taken seriously, if he proved to be an outstanding male.

The headwoman of the Eternal Minato had assessed Yuuta highly as well. Because her daughters aim was Takuya, Yuuta wouldnt beco Yukishiros partner, even if he proved himself to be an excellent man. However, she assessed Yuuta as soone she wanted to obtain for her family as a pawn.

Likewise, the evaluation of Yuuta by the headwoman of the Eternal Yoshiwara was just as high as that of the Minato headwomans. However, Yoshiwaras headwoman didnt have a character that would allow her to regard n as pawns, and because of that, her high evaluation of Yuuta followed her pure view of him as a guy, but she still didnt consider him as a partner of her daughter Aoi. Besides, she didnt believe that she should be the one to decide her daughters partner in the first place.

Because Yoshiwaras matriarch enjoyed a love marriage, sothing which was rare in this world, she wished for her daughter to find and wed a man she loved.

Yet, Yoshiwaras matriarch was unaware that her daughter Aoi had been unable to move for a while after watching Yuutas Streaming Service.

Two won were inside a certain hospitals sickroom located in the Yoshiwara Ward.

That was a truly wonderful stream, wasnt it, mother?

Indeed. Id love to talk with such a man. But, having him read out my na was already plenty. Now I can finally pass on without any regrets.

Here you go again. You just need to do your best and undergo surgery.

It already failed once. And I dont want to experience anything so painful ever again.

A mother and her daughter were talking with each other after Yuutas Streaming Service had ended. The mother was around sixty years old while her daughter appeared to be in her thirties. And although the daughter wished for her mother to have an operation, the mother apparently rejected that notion.

One more woman, a girl, was quietly watching and listening to those two while standing outside the hospital room.

It was Moe.

Switching to capitalizing Old World since its a coined term in that society, and not just Yuutas old world.
