132: True Ending!

Haha, how many modern women wouldn't feel Gorilla in front of a woman like this?

... No, I'm not Gorilla!

Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Shuya.

Shuya: "?"

Could this be what they call animal food guarding?!

Wow!

You're really wild, miss!

Shuya made a sarcastic remark.

He shook his head and turned on the TV.

I haven't checked the news yet.

"..."

Everyone turned to look at the television.

Immediately, a commotion was heard.

There are even more people in front of Inoue Hikoo's company!

And indeed, many people from other districts rushed over overnight.

They held up their respective district flags and sat in silence on the street.

A large number of police officers were stationed nearby.

The people, in various languages, shouted the same sentence:

"Absolutely not!"

"Fight to the end!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Fight to the end!"

Some people even unfurled banners:

"Fans across Asia, unite!"

Unity is victory!

"Down with the Inoue!"

This scene of unity, where forces from different races and administrative regions come together, is simply a model for the Earth Federation.

It's so touching, it brings tears to my eyes.

Some elderly people recalled the passion they felt when everyone was united in ending the world war.

In order to relive that glory, they joined in chanting slogans, even though they didn't know what had happened.

Reporters from all walks of life rushed to capitalize on the buzz, and every television station was giving it prominent coverage.

Inoue Hikoo's expression was very unpleasant.

Shuya asked, "So, do you want to change it?"

"..."

Inoue Hikoo remained silent.

Hanazawa Sakura patted Shuya and said softly, "Give him some more time to think it over."

It was noon.

The rallies and marches are becoming increasingly exaggerated, with no intention of stopping.

Inoue Hikoo finally turned on his phone.

The phone rang incessantly.

He then made a long phone call.

He has employees, partner companies, shops, and even connections with the police.

He also has some friends.

In short, everyone hopes that Inoue Hikoo can resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Especially the attitude of those above.

The government does not want things to continue in chaos.

He was under pressure from many sides.

Inoue Hikoo sat there blankly for two hours.

He looked at the people who persisted in their protests amidst the Christmas snowstorm.

These people span a wide age range.

There are children and elderly people.

Some people came out alone, but most came as families.

The image shows several children holding small flags, their eyes resolute, their cheeks already flushed red from the cold.

He sighed and muttered listlessly:

"Fine, let's change the ending... Sigh, today is truly the darkest day for the Japan animation industry."

Hanazawa Sakura's face lit up with joy, but she still considerately said:

"Hiko-chan, you don't have to force yourself. Even if you can't make a living because of this, don't be afraid... Our son can earn a lot of money. In the future, he can fund your animation production. We can do whatever we want without having to cater to others."

Shuya: "???"

"You spendthrift mom, is that even human?"

Inoue Hikoo shook his head, pulled Hanazawa Sakura into his arms, and said with heartache, "Money isn't important, but after yesterday, I understand how many bad people there are in this world. It's okay if my son gets hurt and bleeds a little, but it's not good if Sakura-chan gets hurt."

He said with deep emotion, "After all, a son can be born again, but a wife is gone forever."

"Hiko-chan..."

"Sakura-chan..."

The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, entering a world of their own.

"???"

Shuya was completely baffled.

You two are really...

He didn't know what to say.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was laughing uncontrollably.

Shuya was speechless.

But now that Inoue Hikoo has given his consent, the matter can be considered closed.

Chapter 145, Page 132: The True Ending!

At 6:00 AM on Christmas Day, Inoue Hikoo held a press conference.

Hanazawa Sakura and Shuya were also present.

Inoue Hikoo resolutely refused to answer the question, simply announcing with a stern face that he would change the ending, and then left.

The reporters tried to press for more information, but Shuya, and they had no choice but to retreat in frustration.

This action was later referred to as the "Shield of Inoue Hikoo's Son".

As soon as Inoue Hikoo's speech was broadcast, countless people cheered in victory, and the atmosphere at the gathering place in front of the company was jubilant.

People from different regions, strangers to each other, were embracing each other; the scene was very harmonious and loving.

As for Inoue Hikoo's feelings...

Sorry, nobody cares.

This incident has significantly damaged Inoue Hikoo's reputation.

But to say he's boycotting is an exaggeration. After all, most viewers are honest; they don't criticize or idolize anyone. They watch what's interesting and don't watch what's not.

They're basically just followers.

The same applies to the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community; anything interesting can sell.

Uninteresting things go unnoticed.

The rules are that simple.

But Shuya knew that Inoue Hikoo would definitely suffer a series of setbacks afterward.

This has nothing to do with his reputation.

The main reason is that he has money.

He squanders money as soon as he gets it.

The fate of the Alien Baby Hikari-chan, was merely the prelude to his illness.

He could tell that Inoue Hikoo was holding his breath, and once he finished making a new ending for the Alien Baby Hikari-chan, he would start creating a lot of self-indulgent works.

Shuya prefers to call those self-indulgent works "revenge against society" rather than "serving the audience."

But Shuya care; it wasn't the first time he'd taken revenge on society.

Go ahead and pounce, you won't kill it anyway.

But... maybe I should find a way to save some money on my own.

In any case, this incident has finally been resolved.

People from other administrative districts, seeing that the matter was settled, simply took a two-day trip before returning home, which inadvertently stimulated local consumption. Many of the businesses that benefited were secretly hoping that Inoue Hikoo would stir up some trouble again and repeat this success.

But of course, that's impossible.

Let's return to the topic of Shuya.

After the press conference, Shizuka Hiratsuka was fine, greeted everyone, and left.

Having finally gotten a break, Shuya called some acquaintances for a chat.

Finally, seeing that it was Christmas, he made a phone call and successfully invited Rena's family, Mai- chan, and his Little Senior Sister to a gathering.

He had a lively Christmas.

Mai- chan is a bit scary; she's still hung up on that mess with Shizuka Hiratsuka. Luckily, she relaxed after playing around for a while.

She wasn't Shuya's girlfriend, and although she was inexplicably a little annoyed, she came to terms with it.

After Christmas, Inoue Hikoo gathered the company's staff and worked tirelessly to create a new ending for the Alien Baby Hikari-chan.

It airs on major television stations on Sundays.

It's extremely rare for an anime to change its ending.

The uproar caused by the Alien Baby Hikari-chan is extremely rare, and it's the first time in Inoue Hikoo's history of self-destructive behavior.

Before the Alien Baby Hikari-chan, there were already many anime or TV series with terrible endings, but none of them changed the ending.

The audience mostly just verbally criticizes.

There has never been anyone who truly broke free like this.

This incident is worthy of being written into the history of animation.

This also shows just how popular it is.
