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

Chapter 70: Still very unhappy

Hane Shion couldn't believe her eyes.

The comics that came into her eyes, regardless of the content, storyboards, or lines, were all ones she had seen some time ago and studied carefully.

The reason is certainly not that she traveled through time.

But it is the name that is still posted on the wall at this moment, the name that I regard as my goal and must surpass.

Just when she was feeling smug about her progress and thought the distance between her and him had shortened.

He casually threw himself away for thousands of miles.

Sakurai Itsuki has gotten the serialization opportunity he has always dreamed of, without any effort.

A huge sense of disappointment came over her, shattering her little sense of accomplishment.

Hane Shion felt her head buzzing, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Thinking of the bet he had proposed, he suddenly felt like there was a red ball on his nose again, and he looked like a clown again.

Hane Shion opened Line. The Line group of New Dimension Society was still quite quiet at the moment.

Is there no one discussing this in the group? Is it because they haven't discovered it yet?

Just as she had her hands on the keyboard, hesitating whether she should take the initiative to bring up this matter and say "congratulations" to him.

Finally, Goto Hina sent a screenshot, breaking the silence.

That was a post from the well-known internet celebrity blogger Yukiko.

Yukiko: [I discovered a manga by a new artist! It brought back so many memories. I really want to read more chapters. I wish I could make a video with it!]

Attached was a comic cover, which showed the title of "5 Centimeters per Second".

Goto Hina: [Let me ask, is this manga from Sakurai-san? It looks exactly like the file I posted before.]

Shinichi Kojima: [Great! Why didn’t you tell everyone about the series? ]

Kojima Haruna: [Really?! Yukiko's already been following me right after I published the first chapter! I'm really going to be famous now!]

Yuuki Tsukimoe: [Sakurai-kun, you will stay in our club, right? Don't abandon us just because the series is finished! Hase Hatsuna can do anything! Please!]

Hane Shion looked at everyone in the group celebrating enthusiastically and felt complicated.

The huge gap made her feel lost, but it was not like the previous time she lost to him, when she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
"Since Yukiko has already targeted him in the first episode, it definitely won't be cut short."

Hanase Shion muttered to herself.

Suddenly, I realized that in the midst of that feeling of loss and frustration, I was actually glad that [Yukiko] had paid attention to his comics.

That’s right, it’s not a bad thing that he successfully serialized it.

He became a real cartoonist. As a partner, or as an ordinary member of the same club, I should be happy.

Everyone in the club said that losing is normal and there's no need to dwell on it.
In the Line group, Sakurai Itsuki replied to everyone.

Sakurai Itsuki: [Thank you, it's just the beginning of serialization, and there's still a long way to go before it really becomes popular, so I don't think it's necessary to mention it specifically.]

"Humph, it's just a serialization. I installed it for you again."

Hane Shion looked at Sakurai Itsuki's rather Versailles remarks and muttered something in dissatisfaction.

But then he still posted an emoticon package of applause and "Congratulations" from EVA, expressing congratulations in a slightly yin-yang way.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to lose the bet I proposed, it is still worth being happy and congratulating.

She is not a petty person.

Sato Wakaba: [Haha, mainly because I wanted to give everyone a surprise, but everyone said they were busy recently, so there was no need to invite everyone over.]

Sato Wakaba: [I also contributed to this comic. I drew it with Shu, though I was just an assistant!]

Hane Shion was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the pen name used to serialize "5 Centimeters per Second" on the computer screen.

[Sakura Vine Leaves]. So they've been drawing manga together.
He looked up again at the goal he had set before.

To win him over, make him your assistant, and then draw comics together
"."

Hanase Shion pursed her lips.

Her mood became more and more complicated, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy about it.

This is the first time she has experienced such emotions since she was a child.
Suddenly, a message came from Line, it was Sakurai Itsuki.

Sakurai Itsuki: [Are you crying? ]

Hane Shion was a little surprised. Was this how he cared about and comforted her?
She thought that guy must have come to mock her about the bet.

Hanase Shion: [I'm not as fragile as you think. I won't cry anymore. I can afford to lose.]

Hanase Shion: [Congratulations on the serialization.]

After a pause, Hane Shion formally congratulated Sakurai Itsuki.

Sakurai Itsuki: [What a shame! I originally wanted to video chat with you and enjoy your tears if you cried.]

Hanase Shion: [? ]

Sakurai Itsuki: [Are you really not crying? Send me a video or a selfie. I think your expression must be funny right now.]

Hanase Shion: [You are such an incurable jerk with a bad taste! I'm drawing, don't bother me.]

Hane Shion cursed and then threw her phone heavily onto the bed.

Now she doesn't have to worry about whether she is happy or unhappy about this.

Now she just wants to beat that beast up!
Hane Shion looked up, clenched her fists, and swung her fists viciously at the "Sakurai Itsuki" with a pig's head painted below.

It was not until she was a little tired of outputting air that she came to her senses and picked up the paintbrush again.

She has been left so far behind!

Then I must hurry up and catch up!
We have to work harder!

We must complete this event perfectly.

"Ah, that's great, Yukiko actually recommended it."

People's joys and sorrows are not the same. When Hane Shion was in a complicated mood and was grief-stricken and angry, she was determined to become stronger.

Sato Wakaba was lying on the sofa, her two long, hyperactive legs happily hitting the sofa up and down.

She held her phone in both hands, grinning cheerfully, "I really want to see Yukiko turn our comic into a video. What song do you think she'd cover to go with it? Her voice is incredibly moving."

"Whatever."

Sakurai Itsuki was not originally interested in how others used his comics to make videos.

But he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Sakurai Itsuki suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"By the way, Ashu, do you think tomorrow is a very special day?" Sato Wakaba hinted again.

"Ah, it's Monday, I have to go back to school." Sakurai Itsuki continued to play dumb.

"Yeah, but maybe there's something else besides that~"

Sato Wakaba secretly stared at Sakurai Itsuki, thinking that he must have realized it and was pretending to be stupid and preparing to give me a surprise?
"I'll be going upstairs very early today, so I don't know what you're preparing downstairs~"

She blinked her big eyes, like a little girl, looking forward to the scene of waking up and going downstairs tomorrow.
　Um, the update time is a bit late, mainly because some family matters have disrupted my daily routine. I will try my best to adjust.
