A-Quan kept refreshing the video page on the computer...
So slow... Why hadn't it been posted yet? They always posted the games hours early when making them, so why couldn't they upload my Great Herrscher of the Void video faster...
Well! But they were my fans, so what could I do? I could only spoil them! (^ω^)
Sigh... Being a celebrity really was troublesome! (?ˉ??ˉ??)
The thought of being worshipped, sought after, and admired in the future immediately brought the exact same grin as that five-year-old from the Nohara family to A-Quan's face.
[Sirin: I have a bad feeling about this! ☆]
{Though powerful, she was constantly misunderstood!}
Amid a bout of sobbing, A-Quan appeared on the screen with tears streaming down her face.
"Why can even little kids mess with me now..." ???????????
"Eh?" Σ(????)?
Wait! Th-this wasn't right, was it? This was completely different from what I imagined! And where did this angle come from?! I remembered there shouldn't have been any cameras there!
(Ai Yi: Stay out of artificial intelligence business! o(′^｀)o)
[Wendy: Oh ho ho~ Why is our powerful Herrscher of the Void crying? You even got bullied by a little kid~] [Sirin: I wouldn't cry from being bullied by a little kid!] [Murata Himeko: Looks like you've accepted that you're the same person now~] [Fu Hua: ...]
For some reason, Fu Hua always felt that the little kid who bullied her seemed to have something to do with him.
{Her first appearance outside the main story was so approachable.}
"Eeeek!!!"
With a shrill scream, A-Quan appeared clutching copies of Anti-Entropy Fashion Weekly, St. Freya Gossip Magazine, and Land of the Divine Romance Records, her face full of embarrassment and indignation.
"G-give them back! G-get out!!"
With that, the A-Quan in the video directly ran out while hugging her three books.
Bug Bug behind her was utterly speechless.
"You told me to get out, but you were the one who ran away blushing!" ?_?...
[Einstein: Anti-Entropy Fashion Weekly? Could it be that in that world, Anti-Entropy finally went bankrupt because of The Doctor's useless inventions and can only raise funds this way?]
[Tesla: Whose inventions are you calling junk?!]
[Theresa: St. Freya Gossip Magazine? @Murata Himeko, Himeko, does our academy have a magazine like that?][?_??]
Oh no, oh no... Could someone be spreading rumors about me? Had they discovered that I read Homu comics? No! My tall, majestic image as Principal! (｀Д′*)
[Kiana: Gossip? I wonder if there's anything about Mei and me...](〃?ω?)
[Murata Himeko: Principal, don't worry. Our academy doesn't have that magazine.](￢_￢)
Himeko knew exactly what Theresa was worried about. Wasn't it just the Homu comics? Quite a few people at the academy knew about it. She had even seen Theresa's ultimate move, "Bankai," several times. (Ai-chan's Little Classroom: "Bankai" was Theresa's strongest move, developed to keep people from discovering that she read Homu comics. It was a terrifying technique that could instantly shred comics into quark-level fragments.)
[Theresa: That's good.](?˙▽˙?)
{Even though she was constantly persecuted during events,} Tears gradually began spilling from A-Quan's eyes, while a dashing, carefree voice like that of a hero came from across from her. (Herrscher of Reason modified your consciousness. This unseen hero's voice was surely full of justice and absolutely perfect!) "Hey, hey, no violence! Everyone's watching!" (￢_￢) Seeing the surrounding onlookers being rallied to that side by Herrscher of Reason—crossed out—that nameless hero, even more Hydro Element overflowed from the eyes of A-Quan, the genuine Spring Elf. "Damn it! You unreasonable jerk! Nonsense! Twisting black into white! Shameless! Liar! Big bad villain!" ??o·(????????????)?o·? The more A-Quan spoke, the more aggrieved she became, until her voice finally carried a hint of tears. Seeing how wronged A-Quan looked, one of the watching Captains finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up: "Enough already. You're about to make her cry..." ?_?...
[Kiana: Is this what they meant before by being messed with?][?_??]
[Mei: But they said it was a child before, didn't they? Judging from the voice, the person on the other side didn't sound like a child.](′｀;)?
[Stelle: Not necessarily. Look, aren't I a newborn baby myself?](???ω???)
[March 7th: That's a special case! Besides, what part of you is anything like a newborn baby?!]
[Stelle: I don't care, I don't care. I'm just a baby.](??????ω???????)
{She had also never given up searching for the truth.} A-Quan furrowed her brows, using the Kaslana Family brain she had inherited from Kiana to think as hard as she could... "Just who was spreading such irresponsible rumors and ruining my image..." Behind her, Ai Yi wore a smile. "Oh my, oh my~"
Ai Yi seemed to have said something, yet also seemed to have said nothing.
And A-Quan had no suspicions whatsoever.
[Mei: It's Ai-chan!] [Theresa: It's Ai-chan!] [Murata Himeko: It's Ai-chan!] [Bronya: Even Kiana should be able to understand a hint this obvious, right?]▼△▲ [Kiana: A hint? What hint? And what is this Ai-chan you're talking about?](′?ω?)? [Bronya (Honkai Impact): It seems Bronya still overestimated Grassworm's intelligence.]→_→ [Mei: Kiana, I'll explain it to you...] [Mei: Like this, like that...] [Kiana: What! The one spreading the rumors was actually that Ai-chan!] Σ(????)? [Wendy: Oh ho ho, who was it, who was it! Who could possibly have failed to notice something this obvious?](￣▽￣)σ [Sirin: Aaaah! Shut up! ☆] ψ(｀?′)ψ [Wendy: Oh my! You're getting worked up, you're getting worked up!](￣▽￣)~*
