“………………Phew…”

After reading across the 70000+ comments, I closed my screen— resting my eyes for a moment.

Now this is seriously bad. I'm quite certain the guy they are talking about is obviously me. There's no room to doubt it. After all, I`m the only guy in this room.

Have I done something wrong……?

“…What is it…?”

It seems Kuroyuki noticed my fatigued look.

I immediately opened my eyes and heaved a sigh, then faced her with my blank-looking eyes.

“Tell me… Why did you show me your own fan-club that you created…?” I asked.

Kuroyuki clamps her book shut naturally, and glares at me as she puts on a defensive stance.

“…In order to protect myself.” She said, with a cold look.

It seems she still had her doubts on me. I guess I might as well take my time for her to get used to it.

Anyways, allow me to clear your doubts.

You are right. Your thoughts are not deceiving you at all. Kuroyuki is the person who created her own fan-club page and shared it out using the student's network. The reason she made this fan-club is for self-protection— just like how she told me. Since she's the admin, she's able to check the real identity behind the anonymous ID and know who they are.

At any rate… if someone posts a photo of her— she'd be able to check who posted it. Then she hacks into that suspect`s main drive and formats everything. Not leaving a single speck of data behind— or so she told me.

Apparently, the pictures that appeared on her fan-club were mostly sneak shots of her face by chance, it's slightly blurry though. She also designed the system to block any screenshots and camera snapshots on her picture just in case someone wants the picture inside her fan-club.

…Scarily smart.

…and here's the most important part.

“Are you the person who wrote code #73284…?” I asked.

“…who knows?”

Though she says that, yet she smirked.

“It's obviously you! How could you do this to me!? Now I`m the most wanted person in this academy!!!”

“…Congratulations. I hereby pass the ‘most wanted’ title to you.” She said with a smug.

Her eyes are telling me ‘surely you are able to handle two thousand people’.

…She's using it to sway the crowds!

“It had a completely different meaning! Yours are ‘followers’, and mine are ‘enemies’! Aren't you overestimating me a little too much?” I protested.

“……calm down. Your language is turning bad.”

“And who's the one responsible for this!?”

“……them.”

Damn. There's no room for me to quip her statement. She's completely right. If those people did not bother her, I wouldn't have to suffer from this useless crap.

“Gargh……!” Due to overwhelming stress, I scratched my head like a madman.

“…Hey…” Kuroyuki suddenly mutters. “…aren't they creepy?”

When I saw her disgusted expression, I gave a thought from her perspective.

“…They are.” I replied.

I calmed down.

If some random stranger suddenly grabs your hand and says ‘where are you going, my sweetheart?’ Obviously you would`ve felt disgusted— or even terrified. Though I had seen some people claiming a fictional character to be their ‘wife’, Kuroyuki is a real life person.

…I involuntarily felt some sympathy towards her just like my sympathy to my little sis. She must`ve had it hard. Perhaps she wanted to go anywhere freely without being bothered instead of trapping here in this room.

They aren`t considering her feelings. Not at all.

They are just some selfish bunch.

“…Ever since the first day of January, I wonder how many times have it been?” Kuroyuki sighed.

Her eyes looked extremely scornful— full of disgust.

Exactly the same eyes that Restia made when she told me after she rejected it for 400 times or so. Kuroyuki must have rejected them properly at first, but…

“…when did you stop to reject properly?”

“…after 2000 times or so.”

“Urk…!? That number is insane…!”

My cute little sis... Someone broke your record by at least five times.

“…I`ve had enough of rejecting people. Even my heart has its limit. Moreover, they always tell me the same thing, you know?”

My little sis probably understood her feelings.

“They`d told you… ‘you`re cute’, or ‘you`re beautiful’… something like that.” I murmured.

For some reason, Kuroyuki looks surprised.

But she looks away afterwards— with her eyes looking distant.

“…yes. Because I`m cute, they come to like me. And because they like me, they started to think they want to ‘own me’.”

She deliberately forces out a scornful laugh. A chilling laugh.

“…What a joke. So simple-minded… Every single one of them lusted for my body… for their own reputation to have a cute girlfriend…” She uttered.

Though I don't really understand society… but I know such words shouldn't be coming out from the mouth of a high school girl.

“…………”

And so, I said nothing.

Because I know I`m not supposed to say anything now.

But Kuroyuki… I'm sure you know there's someone out there that appreciates more to your talent rather than your looks— just like I do.

“…………!”

Kuroyuki suddenly widens her eyes and looks towards my direction. The way she looked at me was as if she sensed something.

“…If you were in their position, what would you say…?”

“…………”

Hold on. Did she question me based on her sixth sense?

Anyways, I was asked with a similar question before— by my little sister. And I'm sure they'd judge my answer with their ‘girl's intuition’.

This is a situation which if you give an answer— you'd die. If you don't give an answer— you'd die too.

Though, there's a slight chance to survive. The odds are as so…

If I gave them a wrong answer, it would`ve cost my life.

If I gave them a fake answer, it would`ve cost my life.

If I gave them an insincere answer, it would`ve cost my life.

If I gave them an internet-based answer, it would`ve cost my life.

…An extremely hard task.

Then… there's only one choice.

I need to tell her my true feelings, regardless of what I am going to say— even if my answer might be the same as theirs. She`d even allowed me to.

If I were given a perfect chance to confess to a girl like her, who possesses a high and almighty standard till it was extremely terrifying, what would I say to her…?

I took a deep breath, as I sat properly still on my chair— with her at my opposite.

“Kuroyuki, love knows no boundaries…”

“…and here I`d expect more from you.” She interrupted.

And lets out a scornful sigh afterwards.

“I'm not done yet! Just let me continue…!” I refuted.

“…Go on.”

I will just say whatever`s on my mind.

“A pair of couples are born, as they acknowledge each other as equals— when love is bonded between them. Me now might not be worthy enough for you and your talent, but— please…”

“…Don't waste your time.” Kuroyuki interjected uncomfortably.

“That's not it! Stop breaking my sentence…! Just let me finish!” I instantly retorted.

“…I will not interrupt this time. J-Just finish it…”

I was surprised. Kuroyuki seems to be embarrassed.

It's such a rare sight— and it's cute too.

Putting those feelings aside first, I continued my final words.

“…please, give me time to polish myself. I promise— in two years. By that time— I will definitely be a man more than enough for you, so before that time— please… don`t belong to anyone else.”

“……………”

Kuroyuki`s face was completely red.

She held both of her hands on her chest, gripping on her blazer.

So freaking cute!

If I were to give some special effects to her right now… probably a ‘Pssh’ sound and some steam bursting out from her head would be appropriate.

“…I-It will be hard to reject…” She murmured softly with her reddened cheeks.

She had been avoiding looking at me too.

There`s nothing else but to say she`s super cute right now.

But…

There's something bothering my mind.

I know Kuroyuki favours what I've said to her, but yet she's still rejecting it without a second thought.

Could it be…?

I hope I was wrong. Or else this could lead me to become the one and only person to know Kuroyuki`s biggest reason for her rejection to anyone.

“Who on earth is so capable enough to steal your heart…?”
