"Who do you think will win in the end, King or the White Reaper?"
"Is that even a question? Of course it'll be King. The White Reaper is strong, sure, but King is a man among men. A tough guy against a pretty boy—no matter how you look at it, the former has better odds."
Hearing the male spectators' discussion, the female spectators present immediately became displeased. Why should their idol be considered inferior to King?
"Hmph, I think you're just jealous of how handsome the White Reaper is. Who says looking tough means you can definitely fight? Maybe King is just putting on a strong front."
"Exactly, exactly. The White Reaper became a Rank S Hero in the shortest time possible, and everyone has seen his strength. He's just rather low-key."
Compared to King's predominantly male fanbase, Yoru Machi's fans were almost entirely female.
Everyone knew that, regardless of the world or era, most people judged by appearances.

Yoru Machi's situation was much the same now. Because he had both looks and strength, his popularity had continued to rise ever since he became a hero and began to make a name for himself.
If his attendance rate had not been so abysmally low, even Sweet Mask—the idol hero with the largest fanbase and the number one Rank A Hero—might not have been able to match his popularity.
