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

Chapter 81 Make an Appointment
The days of leisure were not long before they became busy again.

Sakurai Itsuki brought forward the submission of "5 Centimeters per Second", which was due at the end of the month, to the beginning of the month, while at the same time he was also responsible for the serialization of "Flame Fist".

Fortunately, the club has been busy recently, so there is no rush for the detailed script of "White Album".

Turning around, I saw Hane Shion holding a tablet and continuing her work day and night during the break.

The workload she had taken on at the student union far exceeded her expectations.

Then, those ignorant outsiders always make all kinds of requests and suggestions.

If it were Sakurai Itsuki, he would have scolded them, saying, "If you can do it, come on," and then just quit and run away.

However, Hane Shion stubbornly accepted it all.

Now it is almost time for the submission of the manuscript required by the Student Union, and there are also exams.
Never mind, she asked for it herself.

And since then, she can now paint openly in front of everyone, and she seems quite happy.

The classmates in the class also repeated the scene of the student union, praising it as "awesome", and then asked if they could be drawn into it.

Sato Wakaba, who was very good at reading the air, came out to help her block it.

However, Sakurai Itsuki was now wondering about other things.

He opened Twitter and looked at the latest tweet from [Akira Yumi].

[It's almost the end of the semester! I really, really don't want to review anymore! I really want to graduate soon, but then I won't be able to wear my JK uniform and sneakers openly, right? It's such a hard decision~]

[By the way, everyone, please take care of your health, especially when reading comics alone at night.]

[Oh, I'm talking about that bastard Haruki Nagayama's paintings~ They'll seriously affect your sleep~ Don't get the wrong idea!]

Although Qiu Mingyu has always claimed that she is a high school girl, would a normal high school girl really interact with a group of low-level book readers in this tone?
There are absolutely no real photos in the feed.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like she is deliberately imitating the tone of a high school girl. More importantly,
Sakurai Itsuki turned around and looked at Hanase Shion.

Perhaps because she had been staying up too late recently, her beautiful facial features looked haggard, but her back was straight, and there was hardly a wrinkle on the white shirt of her summer school uniform, and even the angle of her bow tie was just right.

Her slightly pale face made her look more like the frail young lady raised in seclusion in the story.

Although Sakurai Itsuki already knew that the young lady in front of him also had a side that was inconsistent with her appearance. After losing the game, she would curl up in the corner and cry pitifully.

But I still can't imagine that those heavy-mouthed scripts that would make normal adults frown, and the obscene words in the private messages, came from her mouth.

Should I give it a try?

But how to test it?
If I ask her directly, she will definitely not admit it.

On the contrary, if she was really the artist of the book, it might make him suspect that he was Haruki Nagayama.

After all, Qiu Mingyuwei already knew that he was a high school student.

A high school student in Setagaya Ward, a manga artist, it's too easy to be exposed.

Sakurai Itsuki still doesn't want to expose the account of Haruki Nagayama unless it is necessary.

Compared to Sakurafuji Shuzu, who has just debuted and is currently drawing romantic literary comics, the account of Haruki Nagayama has become a little more popular.

Qiu Mingyuwei was still the person who threatened him in private messages.

Oh, wait, if it's really her.

Is that really a threat?
Is she going to force herself on me?
Just her?

Well, putting aside whether she can do it or not, it doesn’t seem like he’s at a big disadvantage.

Sakurai Itsuki rubbed his chin, thinking deeply about the problem.

"Is there something wrong?" Hane Shion also noticed that Sakurai Itsuki was staring at her, so she turned her head slightly to look at Sakurai Itsuki.

"It's okay. It's not the first time I've stared at you. Aren't you used to it yet?"

Sakurai Itsuki is always particularly rogue in front of Hanase Shion.

I always feel that it is very interesting to bully this kind of young lady who looks cold and cruel but actually cries like a little girl.

"nausea."

Hanase Shion was quite disgusted with the brief reply. But she continued to draw with her head down, ignoring Sakurai Itsuki.

Her resistance to Sakurai Itsuki has also increased a lot, and she no longer becomes uneasy when Sakurai Itsuki stares at her like before.

"Are you really okay? You look really bad."

Sakurai Itsuki paused, perhaps feeling that the scene he had just imagined was a bit rude, and he was also concerned about her with a guilty conscience.

".There's no need to be so roundabout as to call me ugly. I already hate you so much, you could just be direct."

Hane Shion glanced over, obviously not used to Sakurai Itsuki's sudden concern.

After all, even when this guy was at his lowest point, the way he comforted himself was to hold his phone up to his face and laugh at him.

"Why would I scold you? I'm clearly concerned about you, but you don't appreciate it. No wonder you had no friends before."

The next second, the beast Sakurai Itsuki launched a direct attack.

The familiar feeling of returning to Hanase Shion.

"Huh, someone like you who is known to be difficult to get along with actually cares about others? That's rare. Do you even have five acquaintances in the entire school?"

If Hane Shion had been told this by Sakurai Itsuki in the past, she would definitely have blushed, but now she also understood what kind of person Sakurai Itsuki was.

He is actually not a bad person, so Hane Shion is in the mood to joke with him.

"Who said that? I'm very gentle. If you don't believe me, ask Sato Wakaba."

"Haha. So, you came here just to show me your affection? You keep staring at me. Don't you feel like you're letting me down?"

Hane Shion sneered and felt inexplicably irritated.

"She just called me a nice guy again this morning. We're just friends. So, is it really too late for you?"

Sakurai Itsuki gave a brief explanation and then changed the subject.

"You deserve to be rejected. It proves that Ruoye's vision is correct." Hanase Shion mocked Sakurai Itsuki, then paused and said, "We should be able to make it in time."

"The student council said that although my comic was originally intended to be a promotional poster, our event doesn't actually need any special publicity. Therefore, this comic is now more like a recreational item for the school festival. So, as long as you turn it in the night before the school festival starts, it will be fine."

Hanase Shion explained the situation to Sakurai Itsuki.

Perhaps the request was too much, and the student council also felt it was a bit excessive, so they postponed the event date to the day before the school festival officially began.

That was the evening after the final exam.

"Hey, let's work on it together," Sato Wakaba whispered, leaning over. "We've been busy drawing for Yukiko lately, and Ashu said we need it finished before the school festival. We have the same deadline."

Sakurai Itsuki swung his hand and his head hit Sato Wakaba's forehead.

"Don't tell this at school." Sakurai Itsuki warned.

Sato Wakaba immediately covered her forehead, gnashing her teeth and complaining softly, "This is nothing, can't we be as generous as Shion? We are not like Haruki Nagayama, who is hated by everyone. Don't you agree, Shion?"

"Ah, about the vest, now that you have officially debuted, you'd better be cautious." Hanase Shion's eyes were wandering, and she rarely stood on Sakurai Itsuki's side.

After all, she also has a shameful ID.

But when Sakurai Itsuki looked at Hane Shion's wandering eyes, although he didn't want to accept it in his heart, her suspicion always seemed to be growing.

However, she is now working against time to finish the draft, and her mental state is not very good.

Let's wait until she finishes drawing the student union draft, and then find a chance to have a good chat.

It's not a big deal anyway.

Thinking this, Sakurai Itsuki turned to Hanase Shion and asked, "Can you really submit the manuscript on time? If so, can you bring your comic to me to see in person? I have something to talk to you about."

"Hmph, instead of worrying about me, can you submit your manuscript on time that day? Your monthly magazine is over fifty pages long." Hanase Shion snorted, but then agreed in her heart, "Then let's do it on the deadline day. The final exams are over and everyone is at school. Bring your manuscript as well and we'll see who hasn't finished it."

She was in a good mood at the moment, and she had long wanted to talk to Sakurai Itsuki about the problems she encountered in drawing these student council comics.

And he couldn't help but sigh that he was really smart. By saying this, he could tactfully see the second episode of "5 Centimeters per Second" in advance without having to think of an excuse to ask him for it.

However, Hanase Shion, who was sighing in her heart at that moment, "How clever of me!", had no idea what kind of "horrible" scene she would face that day.
