I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 108 Anyway, as long as he doesn't hate it, it's fine

Sato Wakaba poked her head out and wrinkled her nose at the happy Sakurai Itsuki. "Who are you talking to on the phone? Why are you so happy? Is it Shion?"

Sakurai Itsuki asked, "Does it look like that young lady and I are having a good chat?"

"Hard to say."

Sakurai Itsuki sighed helplessly and explained, "It was Yukiko. She called to express her gratitude."

Sakurai Itsuki, I always feel like she's a bit weird today.

"Ah! What? Yukiko! Don't hang up so quickly! I really want to talk to her, like ask her if she has a childhood sweetheart or something. How can her feelings be so sincere!"

Sato Wakaba jumped into the room and then spoke.

Sakurai Shu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't pry into other people's privacy."

When Sato Wakaba heard the word "privacy", she couldn't help but think that Hanase Shion and Sakurai Itsuki were doing something behind her back.

Sato Wakaba, who had been brooding over the young lady, snorted coldly, "I'm angry!"

"Here."

Sakurai Itsuki responded quite calmly to Sato Wakaba's angry declaration.

He opened his phone, opened the food delivery app, found the cake shop that Sato Wakaba often visited, and then gave it directly to Sato Wakaba.

It seemed as if he was saying to her, "Come and eat."

Sato Wakaba was even more upset: "Do I look so easy to deal with?"

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Forget it, just give me back my phone."

"No!"

Sato Wakaba was unhappy, but she was already unhappy. Not eating some things would not change anything.

The more unhappy she is, the more she should eat!
Sato Wakaba placed her order while tossing the box of White Lover chocolates in her hand to Sakurai Itsuki: "Speaking of which, what will Yukiko look like in person? I'm really looking forward to it!"

At this moment, she still didn't know what kind of troubles would be waiting for her after she really met Yukiko.

"I don't know, but we'll probably see her in person soon. She's planning to debut as a singer."

Sakurai Itsuki felt that since he wanted to debut as a singer and work in the entertainment industry, there was no need to hide it.

Especially according to the editor, Yukiko seems to be quite good-looking and is suitable to be an idol singer.

"Huh? What's this line of yours, a group of Haruki Nagayama haters?"

"Why are you checking my phone?"

Sakurai Itsuki tore open the bag of White Lover that Sato Wakaba threw to him. In fact, he preferred salty and spicy things rather than sweet things.

But Sakurai Itsuki saw that Sato Wakaba was acting weird today, and felt that if he gave the bag of White Lover to her, he would just throw it aside like trash.

Maybe I'll have strawberry mapo tofu or boiled bonito again tonight.

"Who checked! It's the message in the notification bar! It's slanderous!" Sato Wakaba was of course very curious about what was in his phone.

But of course she wouldn't take the initiative to do something so outrageous and terrible.

"It's okay, just testing you."

In fact, Sakurai Itsuki was not afraid of whether she would check it or not, because there was nothing shameful in his phone.

If there was, Sakurai Itsuki didn't care. Anyway, she had already presumed that those heavy-mouthed novels by Hane Shion were just his fetish, and she shouldn't be able to find anything more excessive.

"Why do you always do this?" Sato Wakaba asked, puzzled. "Right now, the internet is arguing over your vote, and some are even trying to capitalize on it. Do you really enjoy watching fans bicker?"

Thanks to the push of big data, Sato Wakaba recently felt like the whole world was scrolling through [Can I vote for 5 Centimeters per Second?]

There are even many anchors who are very explicit and borderline. They post various short videos of charming otakus and write something like "Please download jump+ and vote for Sakura Teng Shuye" in the title.

This always makes Sato Wakaba feel weird.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Sakurai Itsuki asked back while chewing a biscuit.

Jump+ has new download users, and Haruki Nagayama and Yoshiko Sakurafuji have also gained popularity and votes.

And those bloggers who are trying to take advantage of the popularity online also get the attention they want.

Even when some readers get angry and argue with each other, they will still be given points by the system.

What's so bad about that? "That might seem to be the case, but the problem is, there's a conspiracy theory going on online that Jump is deliberately hyping things up, collaborating with you two and setting up this event just for you two," Sato Wakaba said.

"Almost the same, but a little bit reversed. First there was the activity, then the quarrel."

As an internal cartoonist, Sakurai Itsuki had of course known for a long time that JUMP would have this voting event during this period.

Otherwise, why would Sakurai Itsuki act as a "link" and deliberately lead the rhythm on both sides?
"Hey~ But aren't you afraid that others will think you're scheming?"

Sato Wakaba handed the phone to Sakurai Itsuki as she spoke, then reached into the box in Sakurai Itsuki's hand and put the chocolate biscuits into her mouth.

"So what?" Sakurai asked.

Sato Wakaba chewed a biscuit, looking off into the distance, and asked guiltily, "Don't you think scheming people are easily disliked? Especially when they do something selfish like this."

What Sato Wakaba said was that Sakurai Itsuki deliberately provoked quarrels between readers on both sides in order to gain popularity.

In his heart, he was still brooding over the fact that he might have deliberately caused trouble for Hanase Shion.

When hot girls talk to each other, they always say that someone is so scheming, simply a scheming person.

There is no doubt that scheming and selfishness are completely derogatory words to them.

"So what? What's wrong with being selfish? I haven't committed any crime."

Sakurai Tree bluntly made a bold statement.

"It's not a crime, but..." Sato Wakaba pouted slightly, "What if, I mean what if."

She paused, turned back hesitantly, and felt that what she was going to say next would be like exploding herself.

But when she turned around and looked at Sakurai Itsuki who was holding up his face and silently waiting for her to speak, she couldn't help but ask.

"What if I wasn't such a sunny, lovely, friendly and kind girl, but instead was a selfish, calculating person who secretly bullied others? Wouldn't that make me very disliked?"

"Oh, so who did you bully?" Sakurai Itsuki asked.

"I'm just saying hypothetical! Don't you think this kind of person is annoying?" Sato Wakaba asked.

"I don't hate it anyway."

Although Sakurai Itsuki also believes that the role of the saint of truth, goodness and beauty is correct,

But I don’t think there is anything wrong with girls having scheming intentions.

Besides, if a girl doesn’t have any little thoughts, is she still a girl?

Sato Wakaba said to Sakurai Itsuki, "Don't you hate it? What if there are others who hate it?"

"Isn't it enough that I'm not hated by everyone, even though I spend all day with you? How can anyone be liked by everyone?"

Sakurai Itsuki sighed and elaborated on his usual philosophy.

Sato Wakaba was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face: "You are so arrogant! Wait, do you have feelings for me? You don't think that if you don't hate me, I will be happy, right? Or are you actually confessing your feelings to me? Sorry."

Sakurai Itsuki raised his hand and snapped his fingers, interrupting her process of forcing her hairpin in after finding the gap. "Instead of thinking about these trivial things, you should practice your line drawing speed. You will be very busy when the new series starts."

"Hey, I'm in that comic? It's the first chapter."

Sato Wakaba thought she was left behind.

"Of course you have something to do. You're an assistant, and Hanase Shion is busy drawing CG."

When Sakurai Itsuki said this, he roughly understood what she was feeling uncomfortable about.

"So that's why you're having a tantrum. Don't worry, when the time comes, you won't be able to stop working even if you don't want to."

"That's not the reason. Oh, I'll go downstairs and wait for my cake." Sato Wakaba punched Sakurai Itsuki and snatched the cookies from his hand. "Anyway, judging by your expression, you don't like them either. Give me the rest."

"You're eating all this high-calorie food all day, watch out for your tummy!"

"No way! LOL!"

Sato Wakaba rushed downstairs.
I feel a little more open-minded.

In that case, it would be okay to be a little more thoughtful after that!

Anyway, as long as he doesn't hate it, it's fine.

She didn't want Ashu to get too close to other girls.

　I got up late and have no inspiration, so I’ll post one chapter of Speed first while I rush through it to find some inspiration and then make up for it.
