"Whew~!" Sogo Doma filled the three glasses before them as he said, "Little brother Hashima seems to want to keep the other guy around. Looks like you have some thoughts on the matter."
"Iori, don't talk nonsense. However Sogo-san wants to handle it is how he should handle it. We just need to cooperate..." Though she did not know Sogo Doma's stance, Akane Kosaka instinctively chose the most conservative approach.
"Yes!" In front of his boss, Iori Hashima instinctively chose obedience. "Sorry, I was presumptuous just now..."
"Not really presumptuous..." As Sogo Doma picked up his glass, he gave Iori Hashima a look, signaling him to pick up the fine liquor before him as well. Iori Hashima did not dare refuse, and Akane Kosaka also raised her own glass to join them. Only then did Sogo Doma continue:
"I was just listening to what you people think. By the way, you said earlier that you were the one maintaining that guy's Twitter account at first, right?"
Iori Hashima nodded. "You could say I managed that Twitter account from nothing, watching it grow and expand online..."
Something about that did not sit right with Akane Kosaka. If Iori Hashima had helped build up that Twitter account, then the followers and everything else it brought in should have been jointly owned by him and that Tomoya Aki fellow, shouldn't they?
So how had it become one person's property now? She found it quite baffling.
"Iori, did that guy called Tomoya Aki ever give you any benefits?"
"Benefits? Well..." Iori Hashima's expression turned somewhat ugly. "He lent me some otaku games..."
Akane Kosaka frowned. "According to rouge en rouge's rules, which of you contributed more to that Twitter account?"
Iori Hashima: "..."
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long while
