A Huge Backlash

"How embarrassing!"

"How disgusting!"

She made two outrageous statements in quick succession.

Mai- chan then pulled her hand away, sighing, "Shuya, these aftereffects are a bit serious."

Shuya: "...?"

I'm shocked, she doesn't like me?

How could there be such a blind woman in the world?

Shuya looked over with the same kind of loving gaze one might have for someone with intellectual disabilities, just in time to see Mai looking back at him with the same expression.

Shuya: "???"

Mai- chan. "???"

Both of them thought to themselves: What's wrong with your eyes?

Shuya slumped softly onto the table. "Mai- chan, what exactly is it like to like someone?"

Mai- chan was taken aback. "Where have I heard that before?"

"Didn't you ask me that back then? Have you found the answer these past few years?"

"Huh? I didn't even look for the answer."

Mai- chan shrugs.

You're so useless.

Shuya expressed his disdain.

"Hmm... Considering your special circumstances, I won't tease you anymore."

Mai- chan was also lying on the table.

The two of them lazily turned their heads together, watching the people hurrying by outside the glass window.

"Hey, Shuya."

After a long silence, Mai- chan spoke up.

"?"

Shuya glanced at her.

"I don't know what it feels like to like someone, but someone who can cause you this much distress must be special to you."

Mai- chan rested her chin on her arm, a bright smile spreading across her face, "The only advice I can give you is not to let yourself regret it."

"... Thanks."

Shuya was deeply moved.

He looked at Mai- chan and couldn't help but say again, "You really are a fan."

"Roll."

Mai -chan smiled brightly.

Shuya silently shut up.

Mai- chan will stay a little longer than usual to keep the Shuya; otherwise, her mother might call the police if she can't find her at home.

As they parted, Shuya said with emotion, "Mai- chan, you're so busy, yet you still came to comfort me. I'm so grateful to have you as a friend."

He bowed slightly to Mai- chan, then turned and left.

Mai -chan watched his retreating figure with a complicated expression.

In the days that followed, Shuya finally managed to pull himself together and get back on his feet.

To avoid future regrets, he actively started reconnecting with his neighbor.

Since I'm unsure of my feelings for Rena, I'll go and investigate.

Life is a continuous learning process.

Shuya looked at Rena, who was tenderly watching over her daughters, a feeling he had for her, different from the feelings he had for the other girls, resonated in his heart.

He still doesn't understand what this feeling is.

But time will prove him right.

Speaking of time...

Shuya's eyes darkened instantly.

Rena's remaining life is a big problem.

To be frank, Shuya couldn't think of any way to help Rena.

After much thought, the only reliable method is the one left behind by the Fox God.

She steals power from other Monster or gods to Encho her life.

The Fox God said that Rena had one year left to live, and with His share, she should have two years.

However, Shuya felt that the Fox God was really a rip-off, so he lowered the ideal data.

Based on a period of one and a half years.

Shuya and the Quintuplets are currently in the second semester of fourth grade. In a year and a half, it means that Rena may not live to see the Quintuplets graduate from elementary school.

The situation is very serious.

However, Shuya hesitated for a long time, unsure whether he should really proceed with the Fox God's method.

He could plunder the power of other Monster, but he had no hope of ever plotting against the gods.

Of course, there are also weak gods in Japan, but those gods don't have much power to be taken over...

Shuya pondered for a long time and then made a plan.

Try other methods first; if that doesn't work, target the Monster; and only if that fails should you launch a magnificent counterattack against the gods.

In today's peaceful world, this is absolutely a dangerous move.

The only thing Shuya could rely on was his power and fame.

With his high strength and great reputation, those above would hesitate to take action against him.

Therefore, Shuya couldn't stop his own work to focus on solving Rena's problem.

To be honest, Fujisawa is indeed beautiful and a great tourist destination. I've been there several times, and even made a special pilgrimage to the sacred sites. After checking off my photos, I went to the tourist information center to exchange them for a Mai- Mai business card, which left me exhausted...

We also visited the place where the main characters and Shoko wore wedding dresses in the movie. There's no railway there, so taking a bus is a huge hassle. The most memorable thing there was seeing a Torii Gate in the sea, which was quite interesting.

Section 202, Chapter 186 Great Scandal

Shuya made up his mind and first contacted his martial arts friends in Great Hua, asking them to help him find a way to save the person.

When it comes to the study of Strange Arts, Great Hua is definitely more advanced than Japan.

But they were just martial artists... Shuya didn't have high hopes, but he figured he might as well try anything.

Perhaps, possibly, maybe, possibly we can get some useful information?

He put down the phone and sighed.

Reality is a mess, but life goes on.

All changes and shifts in the world will not stop because of any one person.

Not long after Shuya rallied, a major event occurred.

He received the news and went to buy a gossip magazine to read.

When he saw the secretly taken photos of Yusho Sakura and her husband, he knew things were in serious trouble.

Countless otaku exploded on the spot and spiraled into the sky, and the controversy quickly spread both in reality and online.

Shuya immediately called Inoue Hikoo: "Hey, Dad, Yusho Sakura, did you?"

He was genuinely afraid that Inoue Hikoo had orchestrated this for publicity.

Inoue Hikoo retorted, "I may lack morals, but I still have a brain! I dared to touch this kind of stuff? Do I even have a chance to stay in this business?! Get lost!"

He hung up on Shuya's call in a flash.

Shuya also realized that his question was a bit stupid.

There are plenty of people in the industry who secretly get married; whoever exposes it will be in deep trouble.

Paparazzi exist for this purpose.

It seems Inoue Hikoo wasn't completely stupid; this matter had nothing to do with him.

Shuya rushed to the office, where Hanazawa Sakura and Maeda Saori were, but Sonoo Hyakka was not.

Maeda Saori was frantically answering phone calls, all from the media inquiring about Sonoo Hyakka.

The paparazzi have already dug up information about Sonoo Hyakka.

"Mom, is it serious?"

Shuya asked.

Hanazawa Sakura said irritably, "What do you think? It caused an uproar right then and there. Ms. Sonou and her agency were besieged by reporters and fans."

"Look, it's on TV."

Hanazawa Sakura asked him to watch TV; the news was broadcasting about the case of Yusho Sakura.

Although voice actors are idolized, they don't appear on television like regular celebrities unless it's something really big.

Just like now.

Yusho Sakura's gossip will probably last for several days.

"How's the Hyakka Jam coming along?"

"I'm at home."

Hanazawa Sakura.

This answer was not unexpected.

With such a serious incident involving her parents, Sonoo Hyakka had no time to run to the law firm.

The paparazzi were quick; they dug up information about Yusho Sakura, her husband, and Sonoo Hyakka.

It was only natural that they knew who Sonoo Hyakka currently belonged to.

Upon learning that Hanazawa Sakura was also involved, the paparazzi became even more excited, but because the situation with Yusho Sakura was even more serious, they didn't stake out Hanazawa Agency.

What did her agency say?

"What nonsense! He's just playing dead."

"Ha ha."

Shuya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

That reaction is so real.

Not everyone has the composure of someone Inoue Hikoo, who can snap at the drop of a hat.

Given the Japan character, they'll probably apologize soon.

The spirit of craftsmanship 2333333.

Shuya laughed a few times before stopping; the situation wasn't suitable right now.

However... it's really difficult for popular voice actors to get married.

Shuya remembers it vividly: in his previous life, when Mamoru announced his marriage, the fans went crazy and he was verbally abused in very offensive ways.
