128: Things Are Getting Out of Hand
We are all children of the world, and we don't stick to trivial matters.
After finishing breakfast, Shizuka Hiratsuka savored the moment for a moment, Shuya: "How about you move in with me from now on? As a thank you, I'll do some fun exercises with you, you know."
She stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.
"Hehe."
Shuya smiled politely, then looked at the TV. Actually, he wasn't very good at cooking; the reason he thought it tasted good was simply because Shizuka Hiratsuka's cooking skills were terrible.
At this point, the television finally brought up Inoue Hikoo's messy affair.
"Holy shit."
"How are you doing now?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her gaze to the television and whistled.
A sea of people engulfed the area around Inoue Hikoo's company.
Some of them held up signs that read "Inoue, you old scoundrel!", "Give me back my life!", "Butcher!", and "God punish you!"
Besides holding up signs, they also chanted slogans in unison.
"Inoue Hikoo!"
"War criminal!"
"Inoue Hikoo!"
"War criminal!"
Shuya: "..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka burst out laughing, "Hahaha, this is going to be exciting! Hahahaha!"
An MHK reporter reporting from overseas stated, "The protest, which began around 8 a. m. yesterday, has now lasted for nearly ten hours, and we can see the number of people on site is constantly increasing."
"Moreover, some of the protesters were highly emotionally unstable."
The camera then focused on those who were shouting excitedly or crying.
The reporter continued, "Meanwhile, at the scene, we could also see several police officers on standby to prevent the protesters from taking any further violent actions."
The area is filled with police officers, as seen in the footage.
In front of Inoue Hikoo's company, police formed a human chain, creating a defensive line to prevent radicals from storming the company.
After showing the scene to the public for a while, the reporter said, "We have received information that people dissatisfied with the ending of the Alien Baby Hikari-chan are still arriving at the scene. The police urge the public to remain calm and not to become too agitated, and not to continue obstructing public transportation..."
After speaking for a while, the reporter added, "As for the central figure behind this incident, Mr. Inoue Hikoo, the director of 'Alien Baby Hikari-chan,' our reporters have been trying to contact him since yesterday, but no one has responded. No one knows where he is now."
"Our reporter also tried to contact Inoue Hikoo's wife, the famous voice actress Hanazawa Sakura, but to no avail."
As for Shuya, perhaps due to his age, the reporter didn't mention him.
That concludes the news report; we'll move on to other items.
Shuya was speechless.
Shizuka Hiratsuka rested her chin on her hand and asked with interest, "So? What are you planning to do?"
"What can I do but wait? What if they're done having fun and go home?"
Shuya sounded unsure of himself.
So you plan to continue staying at my house?
"If you can."
Shuya the Way.
He didn't even need to think about it; there were definitely reporters all around his house right now, so going back to his own house or going to Rena's house was not an option.
Going to Mai- chan's place is out of the question; Shuya like her mother either.
Shuya guessed that reporters were also staking out both his Little Senior Sister's house and Ayako Ishikawa's house, so he couldn't go.
After thinking it over, this is the only one left.
Hotels are also an option, but the high volume of people coming and going in hotels increases the chances of being exposed.
Shuya didn't want to hide in his room all day.
This place is better.
Shizuka Hiratsuka is quite wealthy; she lives in a luxury apartment on the top floor, and the rooftop is also hers.
Rich woman.
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Shuya with an aggressive gaze, her hand crawling across the table and touching Shuya's hand.
She bent over and swayed.
She gave a meaningful smile:
"And as the price..."
Money?
Shuya took her hand in his. Her soft palm, her fair and slender fingers, were soft yet elastic, and felt wonderful to the touch.
Shizuka Hiratsuka flicked his palm with her fingers and chuckled, "I'm not short of money, I'm just short of one..."
"Satisfy my man."
Shuya nodded. "Deal."
So the two of them had a good fight on the rooftop.
Shuya knocked unconscious, and Shizuka Hiratsuka lay in bed for half a day due to excessive blood loss.
Today is Christmas Eve, but this way of celebrating is too exciting!
P. S.: Adding more chapters is impossible. I know you won't be satisfied. If it's three chapters, you'll want four, and if it's four, you'll ask why there isn't a fifth... Two chapters are the pace I'm more comfortable with.
That being said, something strange happens: I always feel the need to rest when writing the main text, but when I was writing about erotica in my last book, I wrote 10,000 words in one go. Is it true that eroticism is the primary driving force...?
Section 141, Chapter 128: The situation is getting increasingly out of control.
In the afternoon, Shizuka Hiratsuka banged on her bowl, waiting for her meal. Shuya made something simple, and the two ate together while watching TV.
The situation escalated further.
In addition to gathering in front of Inoue Hikoo's company, people also marched in various places demanding government intervention and for Inoue Hikoo to revise the ending.
This situation is absolutely outrageous and has aroused public resentment.
Shuya noticed some talented people who were holding up signs that had photoshopped Inoue Hikoo Uesugi Yuichi the other three in the air in the final episode.
"Puff!"
It was so hilarious that Shuya burst out laughing.
Among the parade participants, many held black-and-white portraits of the main characters, creating a solemn and somber atmosphere.
It was Christmas Eve, yet instead of going on a date, they went to a parade. Inoue Hikoo pulled off a great stunt.
The news footage then shifted to other parts of Asia, where other administrative regions followed suit, staging protests against the fate of the Alien Baby Hikari-chan.
"This is insane."
Shizuka Hiratsuka was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
At that moment, a reporter was conducting interviews at the rally in front of the company and happened to ask a highly emotional high school student a question.
The high school student surnamed Jiangchuan, with red eyes, said, "My whole family loves the Alien Baby Hikari-chan. Because of her, our family relationships have improved. I really love this anime, and I really don't want the protagonist's ending to be like this... This shouldn't be! It can't be like this...!"
Those around him wiped away tears and nodded repeatedly.
He said, "I don't know if this rally will be effective, but I hope Director Inoue Hikoo can come out and respond to everyone's demands... We will never accept this outcome! We will fight to the end!"
He shouted.
People joined in shouting:
"Absolutely not!"
"Fight to the end!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Fight to the end!"
The reporter was so startled that he took a step back.
The news then broadcast other related footage.
Some people broke the DVD of Alien Baby Hikari-chan, some people burned Alien Baby Hikari-chan's art book, and some people printed out Inoue Hikoo's photos for others to step on.
People from all walks of life used their ingenuity to create all sorts of hilarious and outrageous uses for Inoue Hikoo's photos.
Resentment filled the air.
Major stores have been receiving requests to cancel DVD orders one after another. The second-hand market is flooded with DVDs featuring Alien Baby Hikari-chan, and prices have been reduced again and again, but no one is interested.
Shuya was stunned by the spectacular counterattack of the people.
"Oh?"
Suddenly, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke.
"?"
Shuya looked at her.
She pointed at the television and said, "There aren't just ordinary people in there. Your dad's really messed up this time."
"Look, this person, this person, and that one, I've beaten them all. They're all martial artists."
Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed out a few people who were occasionally photographed in the news.
"I see."
Shuya was startled, but upon further reflection, he realized it was quite normal.
With the Alien Baby Hikari-chan being so popular, even Shizuka Hiratsuka watches it, so it's not surprising that other martial artists or practitioners of Strange Arts are fans.
... Now that they've been tricked, it's not hard to imagine them wanting to get revenge.
What do you want to do?
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Shuya with amusement.
"Let's wait a bit. My parents are hiding right now, they won't be so easy to find... right? Hmm???"
Shuya the Way.
He initially thought that since his parents didn't even tell their son where they were hiding, they must be hiding very well.
But before he could finish speaking, a gasp rippled through the crowd as Inoue Hikoo, escorted by police, appeared on screen, head held high and swaggering with an air of arrogance.
He stood in front of the crowd, one hand on his hip, the other holding a megaphone, and shouted:
What are you all doing in front of my company! I've already called the police! The officers said they'll remove you immediately!
Under the watchful eyes of thousands, he frantically shifted the blame!
God knows how much effort the police officers around him had to put their anger down.
Shuya: "..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Hahahaha! Your dad is simply amazing!"
"I'm even willing to betray my own family for the greater good."
Shuya sighed, but Inoue Hikoo still somewhat rational and didn't let his wife come out with him.
However, he didn't even need to think to guess that his mother was probably watching TV with a crush, thinking that Inoue Hikoo looked really cool glaring at everyone.
The crowd shouted:
