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

My previous work was often criticized for being too inappropriate for children and too depressing, so this time I wanted to make the story more suitable for children, hence the magical girl illustrations.

[Aren't magical girls cute and wonderful? I hope this is a story that people of all ages can enjoy.]

This is a work full of love, and I, who drew this kind of story, am probably a warrior of love!

This is an interview that Haruki Nagayama gave at the beginning of the serialization of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Many people were quite disappointed when they learned that Haruki Nagayama was going to paint a "child-oriented" work.

I feel that this kind of work is a waste of such a "beast's" extraordinary talent.

Now, as "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is nearing its end, those who felt regret back then are still unable to stop feeling sorry for it.

What's there to regret?

I regret believing his interviews and the children's artwork he created; I feel like a clown.

[You should go back to drawing children's pictures! They make me uncomfortable.]

[No, does he have some misunderstanding about what's child-oriented? How is this child-oriented? How is it beautiful?]

What kind of brain could come up with this magical girl concept?

[Let's have a rational discussion: Who is more of a beast, QB or Haruki Nagayama?]

That's hard to say. QB is certainly a beast, but hasn't Haruki Nagayama also done countless bad things?

The post promoting the final volume of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" sparked another heated discussion.

"Damn it, why, why do magical girls really die? And why do they have to turn into witches once they become desperate?!"

"Where would a magical girl mascot lure naive girls into becoming magical girls in order to collect the energy they generate when they go from hope to despair?!"

"Since you portray each girl as so cute and wonderful, why keep persecuting them? Are you planning to show this to children?"

"Let me ask you this: can you imagine how a primary school girl who usually loves watching magical girls and dreams of becoming a magical girl would feel if she opened your comic for the first time and saw her head being bitten off by a witch?"

"You're a damned beast!"

In the live stream of internet celebrity blogger Yamazaki, he was vehemently criticizing Haruki Nagayama.

It was both a genuine expression of their feelings and a way to enhance the live stream's entertainment value.

Sitting next to Yamazaki, Kumaichi Sakamoto scrolled through the comments and expressed his strong agreement.

As an older man who lost his fiancée because of "Fire Fist", he also has a certain degree of fame on the internet.

Therefore, after Yamazaki became famous, Sakamoto Kumaichi was also invited to his home by this friend, and the two did activities together.

Despite many people questioning the authenticity of Kumaichi Sakamoto's stories, believing that he deliberately made them up, how could such outrageous things happen in the world?

It's even worse than what a third-rate light novel author wrote; it would flop in no time if it were published as an online novel.

Faced with such doubts, Kumaichi Sakamoto never questioned them, but simply lit a cigarette and said, "I also hope it's fake."

But real life is often as absurd as being forced to accept a leak from a national leader because you accidentally invited the wrong person to a group chat.

Because he had suffered so much malice from the world, when he heard that Haruki Nagayama's new work was aimed at children, he felt a little more at ease than Yamazaki was disappointed.

But in reality, those three "beasts" still didn't let him go.

Of course, he's not exactly a good person now; he has the healthy mentality that if he gets wet in the rain, he should tear up someone else's umbrella.

He also tricked many others into looking at those three beasts' works, and then healed himself by watching everyone's defenses crumble.

However, this kind of healing is destined to be incomplete, and there will still be occasional moments of emo.

Therefore, after Yamazaki vented his frustrations, Sakamoto Kumaichi also sighed, "Actually, I really wanted to see some children's works, at least I wouldn't get hurt."

"Be strong, Brother Xiong. Although I'm conservative and cruel, I never really thought about escaping to watch children's content. Or are you already at the age where you want children? If you had gotten married back then, it's been two years, and the child should be calling you 'Dad' by now, right?"

Perhaps because it was a live broadcast, Yamazaki wanted to create some entertainment value, so he made a sarcastic remark about Sakamoto Kumaichi.

Upon hearing this, Kumaichi Sakamoto said, "Speaking of which, Yukiko's new song released today is really nice~ The lyrics and music were even written by Sakura Fujii no Yoru! This young couple actually helped their rival Haruki Nagayama with a promotional song! I never would have thought, they have such a good relationship."

Sakamoto Kumaichi's counterattack caused a pang of pain in Yamazaki's heart, who had once been a die-hard fan.

Today, Yukiko released another single titled "Kizuna" as a promotional single for the end of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

This surprised everyone, since everyone thought that Sakura Fujiyo was a rival to Nagayama Haruki for the title of "the strongest genius manga artist of the new era".

Yukiko's stance should be firmly on the side of the cherry blossom leaves.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense, since although fans may argue, they are ultimately comic artists from the same company.

There's no clear conflict between them, and they might actually have a good relationship in private.

"What do you mean by 'young couple'? They've already said they're not dating!"

Yamazaki has officially announced that he has stopped being a fan, but in reality, he still cares about Yukiko's single releases and events, and still buys her music.

He isn't the kind of fan who fantasizes about dating his idol, so this kind of fandom isn't easy to shake off, and he's not completely intolerant of his idol dating.

However, he still doesn't like to hear his idol, whom he idolizes, chasing after someone else like a "simp," and the other person doesn't even accept it.

"They've already kissed, aren't they a couple? Why do you have to see it with your own eyes? Never mind, it's a live stream, so it's not appropriate to say that."

Kumaichi Sakamoto waved his hand, leaving everything unsaid.

You could have just fooled everyone else, but how did you end up fooling yourself?
Some people initially felt that Yamazaki's live streams were always "formulaic" rebukes of manga artists, making the program's effect somewhat monotonous.

But after the two started mocking each other and reopening old wounds, the live stream chat suddenly became lively.

Yamazaki pursed his lips, which were slightly flushed.

"Actually, I think Yukiko's lines were just a publicity stunt to distance herself from some die-hard male fans. You see, after that, their topics were trending on various platforms for a long time, which is obviously something someone deliberately orchestrated."

"But in reality, the two of them have never appeared in the same frame, and I don't believe that anyone would deliberately say that if they weren't dating. Besides, can anyone really resist the pursuit of a perfect girl like Yukiko?"

Yamazaki's analysis makes some sense. After Yukiko's event where she dropped a bombshell, the agency's use of media for marketing was quite obvious.

However, the subsequent analysis became too subjective.

Sakamoto Kuma listened to Yamazaki's long-winded explanation and simply nodded: "Yes, that makes sense. As long as you're happy, that's fine, no problem."

It gives off a feeling that if you're like this, what else can I do but obey you?

Looking at the screen full of clown emojis, Yamazaki could only awkwardly change the subject: "Let's not talk about that. I have reservations about their relationship. At least, Yukiko's songs are really good. Her songs are still amazing!"

Regardless of what kind of person she is, her songs are great, that's a universally acknowledged fact, right?

"Thanks to Yukiko Studio for the super chat! Is this Yukiko herself?"

As usual, Yamazaki thanked the viewers for the paid comments during the live stream.

But then it was discovered that the person who posted this paid comment seemed to be Yukiko's official YouTube account.

Yamazaki, who had just been ridiculed by everyone and was feeling a bit flushed, was overjoyed when he saw this comment.

Yamazaki suddenly felt that all the torment and grievances he had suffered were worth it.

Even if he becomes the subject of countless memes online and is mocked as a clown, it doesn't seem to matter much.

The live stream chat erupted in excitement once again upon the appearance of the celebrity himself. For Yamazaki, this was double the joy.

Yukiko: [Thank you for the compliment on my new song, but more than that, it's because Asuka's song is so well-written! Oh, by the way, Asuka and I aren't actually a couple.]

Yamazaki turned to Sakamoto with a smug look and said, "See? I told you Yukiko and Sakura Fujiyoshi weren't a couple."

Sakamoto Kumaichi rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "You keep calling him 'Itsuki' in public, are you kidding yourself?"

"Oh, right, Sakura Fujiki's songs are indeed very well written, but Yukiko, you sing them very well too. Yukiko, you are indispensable as well."

Yamazaki, who used to call the cherry blossom leaves "beasts," now respectfully adds the word "teacher."

After all, even he knew that Yukiko would definitely not want to hear others say bad things about the cherry blossom leaves.

After acknowledging Sakura Fujiyo's talent, he turned to praise Yukiko.

Given such a rare opportunity, he naturally had to give a proper compliment to his only true fan in the real world.

However, he had only said half a compliment and hadn't finished praising her when another eye-catching comment suddenly appeared in the live stream.

Sakura Vine Leaves: [Thank you for the compliment on my new song, the host is right, Yuki sang it so well! It was absolutely perfect! Actually, I'm a huge Yuki fan too!]

Yamazaki froze on the spot, staring at the eye-catching message, his hand holding the mouse trembling slightly.

Clicking through, I discovered that it really does look like a cherry blossom leaf.

[Oh my god! Cherry blossom leaves are here too!]

[The streamer is really popular!]

[Won't that streamer perform his signature "Cherry Blossom Leaves, you beast, give me back my Xiao Xun a miracle!" one more time?]

[Thank you for the compliment, host! Haha, this is blatant public display of affection!]

She calls him Ashu, and he calls her Yuki. I'm totally shipping them!

The chat room was buzzing with excitement, but the streamer in front of the camera remained silent for a long time.

The words of praise that Yamazaki wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them no matter what.

The ecstasy on her face gradually faded.

On the other hand, Sakamoto Kuma covered half of his face with his hand, pursed his lips tightly, and tried hard to hold back.

It's a bit impolite to laugh now.

Thinking about the sad things, I realize that the cherry blossom leaves are actually my enemies.

Sakamoto Kumaichi repeated a comment: "He called her Yuki. Pfft. Cough cough."

Yamazaki looked gloomy: "I know, they're old acquaintances, it's normal for them to call each other childhood friends."

Sakamoto Kuma nodded, then pressed on relentlessly, "Are Sakura Fujisho-sensei and Yukiko watching the live stream together right now?"

Yukiko quickly posted another paid comment clarifying: "We just watched it together online; after all, we're not a couple living together, but I'll try my best."

Sakamoto Kumaichi patted his good friend on the back to "comfort" him, saying, "I see, it hasn't come to that yet."

Yamazaki: "."

Kumaichi Sakamoto added, "It was only a matter of time. Those of you who oppose this marriage in the comments, get out of here. They're a perfect match, what right do you monsters have to object?"

The cherry blossom leaves did not respond.

Yukiko then left a comment: "Thanks for your support! The live stream was really fun. Itsuki actually shared this stream with me! Keep it up, streamer! Could you recommend some anime like *Puella Magi Madoka Magica* and other works by Itsuki?"

Yamazaki himself relies on the traffic generated by these three bastards, and he really doesn't want to recommend their manga during his live stream.

But this is Yukiko's request.

Yamazaki flashed Agni's smile again: "Haha, thank you for your encouragement, Yukiko. Please support 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' and the works of Sakura Fujisuke."

How to describe his smile? It was more painful than crying.

Watching the two of them banter and flirt in my live stream, I suddenly felt like I had become part of their game.

The clown emojis constantly appearing in the comments section felt particularly fitting to Yamazaki, leaving him speechless.

"Hey, wait a minute, Yukiko, what you're saying makes it sound like 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is also about cherry blossoms and leaves. Haruki Nagayama can also be called Itsuki, could it be that..."

Yamazaki recalled the bold idea that had flashed through his mind earlier.

This clown has been driven insane.

[Please, Cherry Blossom Leaf, have some decency! You've driven the streamer crazy.]

[Like a clown, so pathetic.]

The viewers in the live chat, of course, didn't believe this theory at all and kept spamming clown emojis.

So much so that even a comment from another important figure didn't cause a ripple.

Sakura Utaha: [I recommended your livestream to Itsuki.]

Hasegawa Shion has actually been in the live stream room the whole time.

She told Sakurai Itsuki about Yamazaki's "Three Great Beasts and One Man Theory" after she heard it here last time.

Unexpectedly, Sakurai Itsuki even shared this live stream with Mizuno Yuki.

Seeing that vixen and Ashu "showing affection" in this hater's live stream, I was so anxious that I wanted to jump out of bed.

Just as I was about to speak, I realized I was using the account I had previously used to draw the book. By then, the couple's sweet talk was almost over, and I finally switched accounts, arriving late.

Yamazaki glanced at the comment, "Oh, Sakura-sensei, this is the original artwork for 'Your Lie in April,' thank you for your comment."

After saying that, there was no more.

In the eyes of fans, Sakura Utaha is a manga artist who draws very well and diligently updates her illustrations and fan art every day.

Then there is no more then.

Sakura Utaha has no scandals and doesn't do anything particularly daring.

People are clearly more concerned about the rumors between Yukiko and Sakura Fujiki.

Therefore, even her comments didn't cause much of a stir in the live stream.

I just scrolled through a few comments saying "Sakura-sensei's drawing is really good," and then quickly fell silent amidst everyone's discussion about Yukiko.

Feeling ignored by everyone, Hasegawa Shion watched the clown's expression scroll across the screen.
She knew it wasn't an insult directed at her, but she still immediately broke down.

"I'm going to block this live stream!"

She cursed fiercely, then comforted herself, "At least there are still a few comments praising my drawing skills, so all my usual drawing isn't in vain."

Hmph, I don't care about that kind of hype. I'm a performer based on merit!

Try harder and draw more pictures! Improve your skills!
He then sat down in front of the computer.

At that moment, Yuki Mizuno was video chatting with Itsuki Sakurai: "Sorry, I almost exposed you. By the way, it's so late, is Wakaba asleep yet?" (End of Chapter)
