Chapter 5.5: A Private Conversation Between Akari-chan and Mia

It was another day in a Tokyo café—crowded due to spring break—and once again, Akari-chan and Mia were sitting on opposite sides of a table with their drinks before them.

“This sucks sooooo much! There wasn’t a single good thing about our school trip! Like, give me a break already!”

Akari-chan was once again kicking her legs up and down amid her lamentations. Mia looked at her with sympathy in her eyes.

“I guess you annoyed him too much in the first half, so he kept his distance in the second...”

“That’s exactly right! It super super suuuuucks!” Akari-chan continued to flounder. “And you know what’s the worst thing about it all? Ijichi-kun blocked me!”

“What? On LINE?”

“No! On Twitter!”

“Huh?! You’ve talked to each other on Twitter before?”

“No! I just one-sidedly replied to his posts!”

“What do you mean...?”

“I made a throwaway account and pretended I was one of the KEN Kids so I could say what I thought about videos he’s in! When he was wondering the other day if he should show his face or not, I spammed him, telling him he shouldn’t! ’Cause like, if he showed his face, all those little bitches would go after him for sure!”

Mia cringed a little. “I-If you say so...”

“And despite all my efforts, yesterday, Ijichi-kun posted a picture of himself from the neck down and was like, ‘This is what my clothes are like btw.’ They were the clothes I chose for him! And just as I thought, all those chicks fawned over him and were all like, ‘So hot!’ ‘I wanna see more!’ ‘Show your face! ♡’ Like, what the hell?! Cut the crap! So I replied to a couple of his posts and told him not to show pics of himself ever again and that his clothes didn’t suit him at all, but he immediately blocked me! It’s so over!”

“I think that’s to be expected...”

“I wonder if he thought I was an annoying fangirl?!”

“I’m not sure he saw you as a fan in the first place...”

“What, you mean he thought I was a hater?! Even though I watched all the videos he’s in and commented every single time?!”

“There’s not much difference between an overzealous fan and a hater...”

“No way, right?! I wanna die so baaad!”

“How about making a new account?”

“I already have! Who else is gonna protect Cheerful Yusuke from all those little bitches?!”

As Akari-chan continued to bewail her misfortunes, Mia looked on with a stiff smile on her face.
