I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 44 If it’s particularly perverted, I will really call the police
"I have paper."

Listening to Sakurai Itsuki's speech, Hanase Shion responded viciously.

Then, while glaring at Sakurai Itsuki with red eyes, she took out a stack of paper from her ruffled skirt and wiped her nose.

Obviously she still cares about her image in front of outsiders.

"I lied to you. Actually, there are no snot bubbles on your face." Sakurai Itsuki said.

"You're so annoying! Did you follow me out on purpose just to piss me off?" Hanase Shion's eyes were full of hostility.

"Can't you?"

Sakurai Itsuki felt that if he went to comfort her at this time, it would seem like he was showing off.

So he chose to show off directly.

".You won, laugh all you want."

Squatting on the ground, Hane Shion lowered her head, silently looking at her toes, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha."

As a result, Hane Shion never expected that Sakurai Itsuki's laughter would actually ring in her ears.

That guy's personality is so bad, I thought he was just pretending to be nice to me, but it turns out this bastard didn't even put on an act.

Hearing his laughter, Hane Shion clenched her fists in anger.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she could do nothing about Sakurai Itsuki and could only let him laugh at her.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm laughing because I think you're cute when you cry. Well, what's that called in comics? Contrast cuteness, right?"

Sakurai Itsuki's explanation obviously did not make Hanase Shion happy. Instead, she frowned in disgust when she heard it.

But I finally stopped the tears from falling from the corners of my eyes.

"Since Mr. Hase said you're serious about becoming a manga artist, you must be aware of how many people get eliminated and lose out every year, right? Even for established manga, some lose the game and are cut short midway."

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Sakurai Itsuki continued speaking.

"What? You gave up after losing once or twice? Then you really should be laughed at."

"I, I didn't give up! Don't treat me like you are the same."

Hanase Shion retorted.

Although this blow made her extremely depressed, the huge gap between the two of them made her feel even more powerless.

But, ask yourself, is it really time to just let it go like this?
The answer is of course no.

"Oh, I understand. You're just crying for fun in that relationship. Go ahead."

As Sakurai Itsuki spoke, he also squatted down and stared straight at Hane Shion's profile.

Act like I'm here to watch your performance.

"you you"

Hane Shion felt very awkward feeling the gaze of Sakurai Itsuki who was watching a play.

How could I cry in this situation?
"Cry, why aren't you crying? Really, I think you're much cuter when you cry than when you glare at people. Cry again and show me." Sakurai Itsuki urged, "If you really can't find the feeling, pinch yourself and try again."

"Who wants to cry in front of you? That's disgusting!"

Normally, Hane Shion wouldn't curse strangers in real life, but she couldn't help herself at this moment.

"You're not going to cry anymore? That's really a bummer. Let's go."

Sakurai Itsuki sighed, then stood up and walked towards the alley entrance.

Hane Shion looked up at Sakurai Itsuki's back, feeling quite confused.

"Hurry up, you lost the bet. I need to find a place to have a drink and talk to you about how to fulfill the bet. Don't go back on your word like a young lady!"

Sakurai Itsuki turned back and urged, threatening again.

"The club asked me to come here to comfort you. If everyone sees that I haven't been able to handle it for a long time, someone else will come down. You don't mind me saying in public that your eyes are red because you overestimated your abilities and cried after losing the bet with me, right?"

Hane Shion looked at Sakurai Itsuki's frivolous appearance and gritted her teeth in anger.

I really think this guy is so annoying! However, she still stood up, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted the dust on her long skirt, and followed Sakurai Itsuki's pace.

In a nearby cafe.

Sakurai Tree stirred the spoon and added a lot of milk and sugar.

The dignified young lady sitting opposite was holding a cup of pure black coffee and taking a sip lightly.

Although the coffee in ordinary coffee shops nowadays is just an industrial product made from concentrated coffee liquid.

But with every gesture she made, the ordinary industrial product in the cup in her hand seemed like expensive and precious coffee.

Just like some people will not be considered as socialites no matter how many luxury items they wear, while some people will still be considered as having a noble temperament no matter how cheaply they wear.

The temperament of Hanase Shion, who was nurtured by a famous family since childhood, makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze just by looking at her.

But when she opens her mouth, she becomes a little less cute.

"I was crying just now because I felt so ashamed to lose to a quitter like you. I never thought of giving up."

Hane Shion, who gradually regained her composure, explained in a cold voice.

Even if this guy admitted that he lost and cried miserably, he still had to at least attack Sakurai Itsuki.

"Oh, but you haven't lost yet."

Sakurai Itsuki didn't care. For this problem, simply stating the facts would easily speak louder than words.

"It's just now. I will speed up and catch up in the future."

Hane Shion pursed her lips, looked at Sakurai Itsuki's face, and spoke with a firm gaze.

After crying miserably and realizing that she would not give up, she became even more determined to surpass this annoying guy.

"But to be honest, there's nothing shameful about losing to me, really."

Sakurai Jushin said that if he, a pure cheating player with two lifetimes of experience, bullied a local 17-year-old girl like you, he would be defeated.

Isn't that like using an aircraft carrier to bomb fish and getting bitten by the fish?
"But I do admit that you have some skills."

Hanase Shion put down the cup.

Thinking back to the script I just read and the paintings I did in the art class, I can honestly say that he is incredibly talented.

Even like everyone else in the club, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a genius.

"Only a little? You're really not being candid."

Sakurai Itsuki said, could this guy really be a tsundere?

Hane Shion did not refute, but after a slight hesitation, she asked the question that was confusing her.

"But if that's the case, why did you give up becoming a cartoonist? You even said such outrageous things before."

"That was a self-deprecating joke. I hate saying in front of others that I want to be a cartoonist, so I want to distance myself from it."

Sakurai Itsuki took a sip of coffee and made up an excuse.

"It's just that I didn't know what you were thinking, and I accidentally AOE'd you. But you also smashed my cup, so we're even on that score."

"You call yourself a fool, but you are indeed a pervert."

Hane Shion overheard Sato Wakaba calling Sakurai Itsuki a pervert.

At first I just thought it was just flirting between them, but now it seems that it doesn't seem fake.

"Hmm." Sakurai Itsuki shrugged, "Then let's talk about the bet we made before. According to our agreement, you should promise me, a pervert, one thing."

When Hanase Shion heard this, she was stunned.

Hearing this, her brain as a book artist started working.

Some classic plots come to mind.

Then he swallowed hard and said with his head down, "First, let me make it clear, I will not agree to anything that is particularly excessive or perverted. I will call the police."
