It's Time / Don't Ask-It's Just a Fall from Grace

P. S. 1: 1400 words... I found out yesterday that 1500 words would cost more, so I'll stop here... Actually, I feel a bit embarrassed if I don't reach 2000 words---maybe in the future I should just remove it and wait until I write 2000 words the next day before posting it, would that be better?

PS2: I watched Violet Evergarden for the third time and was so bored I wanted to sleep. I even deserted from the ancient battlefield, but thankfully the casual viewers didn't mind... Then I bought tickets for Demon Slayer IMAX on the 19th, half of which was for the bonus items. Yes, I just can't resist bonus items... But the action scenes in Demon Slayer are so awesome, it's worth seeing it again...

Section 627, 585. Time's up.

However, at this moment, Yusho Sakura also noticed something was wrong.

"Huh? You moved? How could Shu-chan not know? Didn't you tell him?"

Hanazawa Sakura was silent for a few seconds, then laughed and said, "Haha, that's not important."

"Is it unimportant?"

Does it matter?

"..."

"Alright, let's read the letter now!"

"Yay!"

The two beautiful ladies tacitly agreed not to delve further into the topic.

"Good job, you stopped talking when it came to the parts that were not in your favor."

Shuya looked at Twitter with a headache, as countless people tagged him and teased him, especially Inoue Hikoo, who directly got angry and posted several tweets mocking him.

He turned off Twitter, out of sight, out of mind.

Hyakka's face remained grim. "Shu-chan, I just checked, and it turns out that before we listened to the radio, my mom and your mom had already talked a lot about us..."

"Stop talking, I don't want to know."

Shuya has an ostrich mentality; he'll pretend they never said anything if he hasn't seen it.

He said helplessly, "If it comes to a last resort, I'll have no choice but to sacrifice Haruno."

Haruno spat out, "Wait! What did you just say?"

"After all, you know whether I'm capable or not."

"Miss Tsuruko knows too, so you're sacrificing her!"

Haruno argued his case based on reason.

"You're quite famous, so people will believe you."

Shuya persecutes Haruno, using this to transfer his own pain.

Haruno was silent for a few seconds, then grinned mischievously, "Then I'm going to expose what happened that day, me and Ms. Tsuruko."

"Shut up."

Shuya quickly covered her mouth.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Seeing his reaction, Haruno laughed so hard she shook, while Mai, Hyakka, and the others cast strange glances at her.

"Sister, what secret do you know about him? Can you share it with me?"

It's only at times like this that Yukino shows her sisterly side.

"No, she knows nothing."

Shuya answered for her.

"I'm not talking to you, please don't interrupt."

Yukino frowned.

Haruno removed Shuya's hand and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Yukino- chan, I can use this to threaten him, but I can't tell you, or I'll be in big trouble."

"Why say so much? Go learn from Uesugi."

The Shuya unnatural and unnatural.

Haruno replied lazily, "No, I'm tired of it."

"Eh..."

Uesugi Futaro was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I understand, I'll study by myself."

He remained quite calm.

"Great, keep it up!"

Haruno gave him a thumbs-up, then ignored him.

Her personality was as free as the wind, and she had grown tired of the teacher-student game.

Her eyes lit up, and she ran over to the sofa where Yukino and Yuigahama were sitting. "Yui- chan, are you joining our agency?"

It seems Yuigahama is the next target?

Shuya thought to himself, but he didn't help her.

Yuigahama is going to join the agency, she'll have to get used to dealing with Haruno sooner or later.

Haruno isn't actually a bad person, she's just a little bit troublesome in terms of personality.

Yuigahama was unaware of Haruno's true nature and still regarded her as a close older sister, at most a little mischievous.

She replied, "Yes, yes, that should be right."

"Haha, in that case, you and that little girl over there look a lot alike. I think Shu-chan calls her Black Cat -chan? She's a prodigy who was personally invited by the club president."

"Huh? Really? That's amazing!"

Yuigahama is straightforward and honest.

"Ah..."

The Black Cat was startled, its expression somewhat bewildered, which looked quite adorable.

Haruno feinting; his real target was Black Cat.

Shuya was also fooled by her.

However... if Haruno hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Hanazawa Sakura did invite Black Cat, but she never responded, Shuya assumed she had refused and gradually dismissed the matter.

"Oh, no... I haven't decided yet."

The Black Cat replied haltingly, completely lacking the domineering presence it displayed when facing Kirino and Saori.

Perhaps she sensed that Haruno was not someone to be trifled with.

Upon hearing her answer, Haruno smiled and said, "Really? It's alright, think about it slowly~"

Seeing the Black Cat's embarrassed expression, a delighted smile flashed in her eyes.

Yukino, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Sister, why don't you go back and bother Inoue -kun instead?"

Yuigahama, unaware that Yukino was saving them, laughed foolishly, "Haha, isn't it nice to chat together?"

"... Yeah."

Yukino nodded helplessly.

Shuya stopped paying attention to what was happening over there; at that moment, he was being watched subtly by Mai and Hyakka.

"W-what's wrong?"

"No, I just found what Haruno earlier quite interesting..."

"I felt that way too. It's rare to see you so flustered."

The two of them took on the roles of detectives, and were just short of saying the line, "There's only one truth."

"..."

Shuya clapped his hands and said, "Alright, now that everyone's here, it's about time to eat!"

"That abrupt change of topic was really strange."

"That's definitely a really embarrassing past."

His attitude made them even more interested.

To stop them from overthinking, Shuya called everyone over to help prepare dinner.

Some people went to the kitchen to get things, while others moved the sofas and other furniture, and moved the dining table in front of the television.

Once they got busy, their attention was indeed diverted, and even the Black Cat avoided Haruno's teasing.

With so many people working together, everything was done in just a few minutes.

Everyone sat around the table and finally began to eat hot pot.

Before starting to eat, Haruno and the others took photos and posted them on Twitter as usual, promoting the anime and advertising it to get people to watch it.

Besides Shuya and Hyakka.

They said they didn't want to use Twitter, or even read the news online.

After taking photos and writing tweets, everyone started eating, and after a lively time, it was finally time to eat.

Shuya had already prepared his laptop, which he connected to the TV and went to Nico Nico Douga to wait for IS to be broadcast.

Many people did the same thing as him, and Nico Nico Douga's visitor count skyrocketed.

Everyone's just waiting to see how this animation turns out.

Whether it's a scathing attack or a boastful one, we'll find out in half an hour.

Not only in Japan Administrative District, but also in regions around the world, people are waiting for IS's online premiere.

For example, the Great Hua Administrative District at this time, and the capital Tianjing City.

Wu Xiaoyu, who specifically declined to work overtime today, is waiting in front of her computer, eagerly anticipating the broadcast of IS.

Drinks and snacks were also laid out on one side, ready to be enjoyed later.

... Ever since being moved by Hikari-chan and improving her relationship with her father, Wu Xiaoyu has become very interested in animation.

Ten years later, after graduating from university, she went to work for the newspaper her father worked for. Now she is a reporter for the entertainment section of the Global Daily, tirelessly promoting the latest news on ACG every day.

She is also a well-known film critic among the younger generation, having written many influential articles.

... Of course, his father also deserves some credit for this.

She also has plans to write an article after IS airs.

Section 628, Page 586: Don't ask, the answer is: fallen from grace.

"Inoue Hikoo, I hope you can satisfy me this time..."

After Wu Xiaoyu finished speaking, she skillfully replied in Japanese on Twitter: "Inoue Hikoo, you're an idiot. I'm waiting to see your new work. If you keep pretending to be dark and cruel like before, don't blame me for being ruthless."

A second later, Inoue Hikoo replied, "Fuck your mother!"

The content should be concise and impactful; he also needs to engage in online battles with others, so it can't be too long.

"This idiot!"

Wu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth.

---Because of Inoue Hikoo's various questionable actions, she had long since gone from being a fan to a hater.

During her long-standing clashes with Inoue Hikoo, she wrote numerous film reviews criticizing his works.

Many haters just watch her create drama for entertainment.
