The members of the Comics Research Club were somewhat surprised to find that they, who were originally only on the fringes of the school, suddenly became the center of the school's topic.
Countless people swarmed in, either directly or indirectly, asking them for information about the author behind "Chainsaw Man".
After all, as long as you are a human being, you will definitely have a corresponding social circle.
Whether it is exchanging hobbies, discussing studies, or simply not wanting to be alone, human beings are always social animals.
Therefore, from a probability analysis, the mysterious comic book author is most likely to come from a related group, and it is absolutely impossible for him to appear out of thin air.
People believe so strongly.
However--
"Actually, that mysterious guy is you! Kato——!!"
An Yilun also slammed the door of the student union and made a firm assertion to the people sitting behind the desk.
"It's useless even if you want to pretend to be stupid? I've almost investigated everything clearly. Please enlighten me! Kato!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Including Kato Yusuke, Megumi, Shiu, Eiriri and Shinjoka all cast their eyes at him.
As if he was satisfied with the shocking effect he had caused, An Yilun also pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and started talking nonstop.
"First of all, I have carefully confirmed with the Manga Research Club, and even reviewed all the activity records since the beginning of school. What I can confirm is that there is absolutely no Fujimoto tree among them!"
"Secondly, I sorted out the serialization time of "Chainsaw Man"! Including the issue released today, this work has been serialized for a total of five issues, which is 13 chapters!
And when the manga first started being serialized, it was shortly after you said you wouldn’t make games for the time being!”
"Finally, Mr. Fujimotoshu is not only a contracted cartoonist of Immortal River, but even Kasumi Shiko-sensei! Shiba-senpai has specially recommended his works!"
"To sum up the above! Then there is only one truth to the matter -!"
An Yilun also raised his fingers to the sky with great momentum, and then pointed behind the desk directly in front of him with a "swish" and said generously:
"Yusuke Kato! You are the mysterious author behind "Chainsaw Man", Mr. Itsuki Fujimoto——!"
The room fell silent, falling into a blank silence.
Seeing his triumphant look, Yinglili on the sofa couldn't help but frown.
Then he deliberately placed the tea set in his hand on the coffee table, making a crisp "ding" sound, and clicked his tongue in displeasure.
"Hey, what are you so proud of over there? And was that last action a cosplay? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Hello!? For someone who has worked so hard to investigate the truth of the matter, your attitude is too bad, isn't it? Yinglili!"
"You actually said that I have a bad attitude... I want to ask you! What other messy things did you do? Now there are rumors about you everywhere in the school!"
"Huh? My rumor?" An Yilun also tilted his head in confusion, looking confused.
"Yes. An Yilun from Class A in the first year, congratulations on becoming an online celebrity. Are you a pushy elementary school student?" Yinglili's words were thorny.
"No, what on earth are you talking about? Celebrity? Pushy? What does that mean..."
"You're still pretending to be stupid! Don't you pay attention to this yourself? If you want to know, go to the school forum."
Although he was full of doubts, An Yilun immediately took out his mobile phone and started operating it.
"An Yilun from Class A of the first year also broke the news exclusively!" - such a post is currently ranked at the top of the school forum.
His right eye twitched unconsciously, giving him a bad premonition, and he quickly scanned the contents.
"An Yilun from Class A of the first year also said that the comic author of "Chainsaw Man" seems to be from the comic research club of our school. Does anyone know the inside story?"
"Ah, I heard about this too!"
"I saw Aki from Class A of the first year during lunch break. He went to the Manga Research Department. He seemed to have been there for a long time. He didn't know what he was doing."
"As Aki's classmate, I think this may be true. After all, that guy is obsessed with the beautiful girl Huang Yu~"
"It's not butter! I'm playing a pure version of the work. Besides, Galgame and comics are completely different things! This idiot!"
An Yilun couldn't help but curse, as if he was having a remote conversation with the owner behind the anonymous message.
But so far, the messages have been normal.
But if it was just like this, Yinglili would not talk to him in that thorny tone, so he continued to read.
There were more posts than he imagined, and most of them were about the connection between the author of "Chainsaw Man" and the Comics Research Society.
For some reason, he seems to have become a key figure in it.
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat eye-catching message broke into his eyes.
"An Yilun from Class A in the first year also forced girls to cosplay."
It seems that this was an opportunity——
"An Yilun from Class A in the first year also asked girls for their personal underwear."
"An Yilun from Class A in the first year is also a phimosis manwwwww"
"I heard he took girls' socks and did that kind of thing in the classroomwwwwww"
…
——A lot of baseless fabrications are presented one after another.
"What is this——!?!?" An Yilun was also staring at the screen of his mobile phone, his face turning red to the color of pig liver.
"These guys! It's totally slander! Isn't this a personal attack? Why hasn't this kind of post been deleted yet!?!?"
He roared so angrily that his chest was heaving with anger.
"That's really good~ An Yilun from Class A of the first year. Even Twitter is full of topics about you, so what on earth did you do?" Ying Lili asked sarcastically.
"——I didn't do anything!?"
"Oh? You didn't go to the comic research club?"
"went!"
"Aren't you obsessed with bishoujo games?"
"Obsessed!"
"Not so obsessed that you go crazy? Even to the extent that you call the heroine in it your wife?"
"called!"
"..."
"..."
"…………"
"…………"
When An Yilun answered like that, all the girls in the room silently took a small step back.
(_),(_),(_),(_).
Although it is only a small step in the physical sense, at the spiritual level, the distance between the two sides is like a huge gap.
"Hey, ethics classmate."
Shiyu said coldly: "It makes me uncomfortable to breathe the same air as you. Can I trouble you to die now?"
Yinglili nodded in rare agreement, and then said: "Immediately commit seppuku and apologize. For the sake of the past, I will help you correct your mistake this time."
"Don't say such horrible things in such a polite tone!! And even Ying Lili is like this -!?" An Yilun also said in fear.
"Scumbags who force girls to cosplay, go to hell."
"I didn't do anything like that-!"
"Really~?"
"Really! How could I do something like that! Don't think of people as perverts!"
Ying Lili glanced at him with disdain, then spread her hands and said, "That's right. Girls who can make a guy like you fall in love don't exist in the third dimension, right?"
"Although this is true! But you don't need to say it with such an expression like you're looking at garbage, right?"
"Ah, I know what Eiriri said. Aki-san is a chuunibyou, right?" Hui said casually.
"Even Kato-san is here!? Besides, can't your tone of voice be more emotional?"
An Yilun was also scratching his hair frantically. Even so, he did not forget to complain to those who complained.
"Besides-"
He shouted: "This thing is definitely weird! The focus of everyone's attention should be Kato, right? Why did it shift to me!?"
Yinglili came to a conclusion with a leisurely expression.
"Anyway, it's you who said something that could easily be misunderstood, right? Because that's how you usually are, always living in your own world and talking to yourself. Isn't it?"
"——!"
An Yilun was also speechless. Although he wanted to defend himself, he lacked the confidence.
As for whether he lives in his own world, and whether he has unintentionally caused misunderstandings from others...
It seems, probably, maybe... somewhat... still a little bit.
So this was the only point he couldn't refute.
But the problem is!
He did nothing today except investigate the identity of the author of "Chainsaw Man"!
Besides, there are so many people investigating this matter! He’s not the only one. Why is he the only one being pushed to the forefront!?
What's more, he didn't start the investigation out of interest at first, but because he was asked to do so...
Um?
Just as he was analyzing the cause and effect of the whole thing, someone suddenly raised a hand at the right moment.
"Ah, I think this matter may have something to do with me, Sawamura-san."
"Shinjou-san??"
"Sorry, An Yi-san."
Shinjoka put her hands together in front of her chest and said in a very apologetic tone:
"Because I accidentally told my friends some of what we discussed this morning, so they may have misunderstood something. I'm really sorry."
"That's right!" An Yilun also reacted suddenly.
"It's because Shinjo-san came to ask me for help that I went to the Manga Research Club to investigate!"
"Hmm, that's it.
Because I think if it is an expert in this field, that classmate An Yi, he will definitely be able to find clues smoothly.
The result seems to be causing trouble to you."
"No need to apologize, Shinjo-san."
Yinglili expressed it first, and then couldn't help but ask:
"But why are you interested in this kind of thing? Besides, what's the matter with your friend's misunderstanding?"
"After all, what happened this morning, so I'm also a little curious about the identity of the talented cartoonist in our school."
Shinjoka explained: "Then I briefly mentioned my and Aki-san's opinions to my friends, saying that there was a high possibility that the cartoonist came from the Manga Research Club, and that was it."
"That's it?" An Yilun couldn't help but interjected: "So what are the rumors about me on the Internet??"
"I won't do that kind of thing. I just discussed the issue of the "Comics Research Club" with my friends. If you don't believe it...please take a look at this."
As if to prove his innocence, Shintiaoxiang took out his mobile phone and logged into the school forum, and took the initiative to display the background of his personal account.
Apart from the speculation about the identity of the author of the "Chainsaw Man" comics, there is not a single defamatory statement, and even An Yilun's name is not mentioned.
The only topic post published was a less popular post than the one that broke the news. It was also a post to collect clues and discuss.
No one can detect anything from above.
After all, the breaking news post was sent through the mobile phone of Santo Group, including the first few arrangements.
What she did was just give people a little guidance in some links, giving people a point and topic worthy of attention, and then she just silently observed the direction.
Combining "Roshi Aki", "Mysterious Cartoonist", and "Cartoon Research Society" can be used as bait to attract attention on social media.
Through people like Urarika and Chiyo, who were relatively influential among the student group, she spread the word without leaving a trace and slowly allowed it to ferment. She just did such a simple thing.
As for whether Li Xiang and Chiyo would take the bait, she had no doubt about it.
As hot girls who pursue fashion and trends, both of them are eager to be noticed and sought after, so they take action without hesitation.
And rumors are a product of ambiguity and vagueness. As long as you thread the needle a little bit, you can easily shift the focus and achieve the effect of spreading rumors.
This is also what makes An Yilun puzzled.
Therefore, when people are participating in gossip, it no longer matters what the original truth was.
Even if Li Xiang and Chiyo were brought to face each other, those two people would only feel that they were acting out of their own will rather than being instructed by her.
Even so, it cannot be completely expressed as having no desires or desires.
After all, the whole school is now discussing the comic book author, so showing some curiosity appropriately will help you hide yourself better.
For now, in the face of her frank behavior and the fact that they couldn't find anything suspicious on the phone, An Yilun and Ying Lili no longer suspected anything.
Rather, Yinglili believed her words even more.
What a naive young lady.
If the person in the palace is her, will I be able to stand upright and upright beside the president...
Shinjoka thought to herself, with an innocent smile on her face, and said:
"Anyway.
As the school's publicity committee member, I have already contacted the administrator of the forum and will urge them to delete the post as soon as possible and handle the matter properly.
So don’t worry, Aki-kun~! To apologize, can I buy you a drink later?"
An Yilun also looked at her smiling face and felt a chill in his heart for no apparent reason, as if his body was instinctively on guard, but he couldn't tell what this feeling was.
Even if you want to complain, the other party has nothing wrong in this matter.
In the end, I could only let it go and admit myself to be unlucky.
He sighed helplessly and said hello in a depressed voice.
He is getting more and more disgusted with this third dimension!
