At an intersection on a street in Ikebukuro, an image on the side of a building was broadcasting footage of Yuki Asahi’s battle.
The camera panned downward, showing Kaori Onishi stumbling away from the Hunter in disarray.
Although Kaori Onishi was facing a life-or-death crisis, the way her tears turned into bullets was honestly a bit funny.
[Isaac? When did he appear?]
[So cute]
[Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in]
[Karma -1]
Koji Hattori made his move to save someone—this was his first appearance in the animation, and his stylish superpower sparked a wave of discussion.
[Hero appears!]
[Wow, what a cool power]
[Just admit it’s cool]
[I thought the protagonist was going to save the day]
[Yuki’s head is full of Emi-chan, Kaori who? Not even close]
[This power also has corruption effects]
[This power satisfies all my chuunibyou fantasies]
[So cool, but why is the character design so plain?]
Although in the anime world, colored hair and colored contacts were common, Koji Hattori actually had black eyes and black hair—he was qualified to sing the “Chant of Black Eyes and Black Hair, forever a Dragon’s Descendant.”
Remembering this, Jiang Jian Yue actually had always been curious.
In a 2D world where hair and eye color so clearly differentiate people, why weren’t there things like “white-haired supremacists” or “red-eyed supremacists”?
Dividing by skin color felt a bit low.
Her thoughts returned to the screen.
The Hunter began to use their “Sword Energy”.
[This Hunter is cool too]
[A stylish showdown? Interesting]
[I still think Red Blade Bro is cooler]
However, the pistol sneak attack that followed wasn’t very cool.
[Damn]
[Hesitation leads to defeat]
[Are you Aminami Style too?]
[Beyond seven steps, guns are fast. Within seven steps, guns are even faster and more accurate]
[Despicable!]
[Well, it’s not wrong, they’re all ranged skills]
On the screen, as the Hunter was charging up their ultimate, their body was suddenly pierced repeatedly—even the BGM was shocked into silence for a moment.
[?]
[Is this Red Blade Bro’s skill?]
[Despicable scoundrel!]
After pressing the Armwatch to deactivate invisibility, Jiang Jian Yue’s figure appeared in the frame.
From others’ perspectives, her ruthless piercing technique and cold expression contrasted with her indifferent eyes, truly giving off the vibe of a deep-thinking villain—even Jiang Jian Yue herself felt a bit that way.
[Stone hammer, when she devoured body G she just went invisible and ran]
[Dude, in the previous episode there was already evidence, there’s a shot of her with the Armwatch]
[Bro, why don’t you turn in that Armwatch?]
[So cool and cute]Ugh…these kinds of comments were even more annoying than people guessing she was a villain.
[Emi-chan’s identity as Iron Wolf is already established]
[←Wasn’t it confirmed in the OP?]
[Who even watches the OP?]
[This woman is ruthless]
[Stab me too]
What Jiang Jian Yue cared about was that the scene where she slapped herself wasn’t included, not even the sound—it made her smile in relief.
The Production Team was obviously trying to make her look like a villain!
Just wait, next episode I’ll ruin the character setting and see what you do then.
After being provoked by the Production Team’s editing multiple times, Jiang Jian Yue found herself feeling oddly frustrated.
Now, among the audience, her image was probably that of a cold-faced villain with a deep mind, though with a cute side.
Like her deadpan jokes or her chats with Yuki Asahi.
But there was always a dark cloud hovering above—no one could guarantee whether the cuteness Jiang Jian Yue showed was hiding some deeper motive.
So, was there any way to do something that would ruin the character image?
As she pondered, the screen shifted to Jiang Jian Yue’s “threat” and a joke whose meaning was unclear.
[I really thought she was going to kill Kaori]
[How could she? There are people all around, obviously just a joke]
[So if there were no people around, it wouldn’t be a joke?]
[Emi-chan is capable of anything]
[What does this mean]
[I don’t get it]
[Was it mistranslated?]
[Translation is fine]
Even you guys don’t get my sense of humor? KUSO…
Next, Kaori Onishi looked up at the figure of Yuki Asahi on the big screen, her expression full of longing.
[Is it starting?]
[The girl is about to enter the match]
[No use, someone’s already jumped the gun]
The Production Team used a meaningful shot to show Jiang Jian Yue glancing sidelong at Kaori Onishi.
[Danger]
[Danger, Kaori Onishi, danger]
[Next time, your Sister Yue won’t be joking]
[Main Consort’s gaze.jpg]
[Did she notice?]
[I can’t hold back my laughter anymore]
Eh?
Jiang Jian Yue’s genius struck her, and she slammed the table—she had it!
She thought of a way to both destroy her character setting and solve Yuki Asahi’s crush on her.
Why not support Kaori Onishi instead!
You say I’m getting close to Yuki Asahi for unclear reasons.
Fine, then I quit!
Not only do I quit, I’ll even push the obviously good Kaori Onishi towards Yuki Asahi.
Isn’t playing matchmaker destructive enough for my image?
Getting close to Yuki Asahi with ulterior motives? Don’t be silly, I’ll actively distance myself from him, how could I have any ulterior motives?
Hiss…no, that’s not right either.
Jiang Jian Yue’s excitement instantly fizzled out.
It seemed that no matter what she did now, people would think she had some secret motive.
This kind of change wasn’t enough to destroy the image the Production Team had created.
As everyone knew, Jiang Jian Yue was actually a foolish JK.
Not good at using her brain, she really couldn’t come up with any ways to fight back against the Production Team’s editing.
Instead, the idea suggested by a group member earlier: pinning Yuki Asahi against the wall and saying a META Line—was more feasible.
You really had to believe in the power of the masses.
However, a simple Wall Slam would probably get edited out too—the Production Team could just cut the scene and erase the sound.
Even for a kiss, they could zoom in on Yuki Asahi’s face or just show the two getting close without revealing faces, then cover it with heartbeats or other sounds.
What, was she supposed to have desk love?
No, what was she even thinking?!
Jiang Jian Yue instinctively pressed her knees together, a blush spreading across her cheeks, forcing herself not to imagine that scene—everyone knew the brain was mischievous: the more you tried not to think about something, the more you did.
Desk love…intense…hiss…she couldn’t keep thinking about it! Jiang Jian Yue, focus!
The barrage of comments praising the battle scene on the screen was overwhelming, but Jiang Jian Yue had lost all interest in the anime, her breathing growing heavier.
Her rolling chair drew closer to the desk, the sound of her clothes rubbing against it filling the air, and the stand began to tremble slightly in rhythm.
Hmm…the comments say it’s like that brown-haired youth…hmm~ was killed by Yuki Asahi…
Ugh…this scene of Yuki is pretty cool…mnn…
Guchu guchu.
“Missy?”
Suddenly, a female voice tinged with confusion sounded from behind.
Bang—
Jiang Jian Yue jumped, her knees hitting the table. She quickly pulled her hand back, bent over, cheeks flushed, a bit of drool at the corner of her mouth.
Akimoto Miki stood there with a mop in hand, staring in confusion at the blushing girl.
“Missy…why are you staring at a black screen?”
Eh? Black screen?
All embarrassment evaporated instantly. Jiang Jian Yue looked at the monitor.
Yuki Asahi and the demon-masked man were locked in a deadly struggle, temporarily at a disadvantage.
“Can’t you see it?”
Come to think of it, Yuki Asahi seemed to have watched her play games before—could it be he couldn’t see this anime?
Female corruption value +10%
Oh she’s slowly losing the unwinnable battle~
