The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem. - Chapter 73: A Kansai Boy Enters a Flame War.

A Kansai Boy Enters a Flame War.

I had thought Rinko-san’s behavior had been strange these past few days — and now I finally understood why. Those hate-filled letters… honest to God, they were so childish I thought, What is this, grade-school nonsense? Even rotten, this school is still supposed to be a prestigious academy, right? Students of a high-ranked school resorting to such low-level bullying — pathetic.

But, childish or not, bullying is bullying. And this kind of thing only escalates if you don’t rely on the people who can help. So I told Rinko-san we should report it to Ashiharabashi-sensei. If the teachers didn’t step up — I’d do it myself and tear the whole place apart if I had to.

As a result, not just Ashiharabashi-sensei — but Kaminari-sensei, and eventually the entire faculty launched a response. They held an emergency staff meeting, so the entire morning became self-study. During lunch, while enjoying Mio-chan’s delicious homemade bento, I spoke with Rinko-san.

“Rinko-san, you should tell everyone what’s going on. Open up to them.”

“…Yes. I trust Shina and Mio.”

“Eh? Rin-chan, what’s up?”

“Did something… happen?”

“Truth is — Rinko-san’s being bullied.”

“Bul… bullied!?”

“That can’t be…”

Awkwardly, Rinko-san explained: After she rejected Noe from Class E, someone clicked their tongue nearby… She’d been whispered at, told not to get cocky… And then those letters pretending to be love notes but filled with hate.

The situation was severe — I knew that immediately.

“So the reason today is all self-study is because—”

“Yeah. I told Ashiharabashi-sensei about her bullying — and they held a meeting.”

“I see…”

“Rin-chan! If anything happens, tell us right away!”

“That’s right! Rely on us, okay!?”

“Shina… Mio… thank you… really…”

“I’d like you two to stay with her as much as possible. Meanwhile, I’ll investigate and hunt down the culprit.”

“Tennouji-kun… thank you. But don’t do anything dangerous, okay?”

“Of course. I’ll drag them into the light — and make them pay.”

Anyone who makes Rinko-san’s expression cloud like this — I’ll never forgive.

I’ve been bullied myself before — so I can easily recognize the pattern.

Whoever laid a hand on Rinko-san… I’ll make them regret it.

***

In the end, all classes that day were canceled. During homeroom, Ashiharabashi-sensei announced that bullying had occurred — and warned that any perpetrators would face the severe punishment of expulsion.

“I trust that none of the students in our class would ever be perpetrators. But listen well — bullying is not something you can excuse as a joke.”

But that’s exactly the problem — to the bully, it is a game. They forget the harm they inflict. While the victim carries trauma for life.

Just as I was thinking about how to gather information—

“Tennouji-kun, someone’s here to talk to you.”

“Me? Alright. Who is it?”

Waiting out in the hallway was— Takii-kun, the guy I’d confronted recently.

“Yo, Tennouji.”

“Takii-kun? What’s up?”

“There’s something I want you to know. Come with me for a bit?”

What now? He said he wasn’t going to cause trouble anymore…

He led me behind the gym — a place where conversations go unheard.

Was he here to get revenge?

“Take a look at this.”

He held out his phone. Some anonymous message board — one of those underground school forums.

What the hell is this? Me and Rinko-san — sex friends? As if.

And that picture— isn’t that that infamous collage of the tongue-piercing delinquent girl flipping off the camera!? Why does that even exist in this world!?

“What is this?”

“This school’s underground board. People post teacher insults, personal attacks — crap like that.”

I’ve heard of stuff like this — a breeding ground for crime.

“And just so you know — I didn’t post any of this. I just heard about it through… a connection.”

“I know. But this is about Rinko-san.”

“After the bullying announcement earlier — and seeing this thread about her… I thought maybe she’s the victim they were talking about. And since you’re always with her… and also being mentioned…”

So that’s why he came to me.

“That’s… actually helpful. And thanks for letting me know.”

“I caused trouble for you before with Natsume… This doesn’t make up for it, but— call it a little atonement.”

“I appreciate it. Really. Can you send me the URL?”

“Ah—sure. But… don’t tell anyone I showed you.”

“I won’t. Trust me.”

After getting the URL, I checked from my own phone. There were lines like “Die Fuyuki” and “That ugly bitch”, claims that she’s a sex toy, and a sloppy photoshopped porn image with rings and piercings every amateur would recognize.

Perfect. I saved everything immediately — screenshots, archives. Even if they delete it later — they can never escape now.

Time to teach them a harsh lesson about the real world.

A grin slid across my lips.

“H-Hey… you look kinda scary right now…”

“Hm? Ah — sorry. Just thinking how perfectly I can crush them with this.”

“…Thank God I never made you an enemy.”

I thanked Takii-kun, bought him a drink, and we parted ways. I headed home, booted up my PC, and accessed the underground board again.

I don’t wanna think about it… but the “my Rinko” guy — that’s gotta be Imamiy— right? He’s being roasted and his responses are awful…

If you’re gonna argue on a board like this — either hit them with solid logic or destroy them calmly with facts.

334 This is malicious fabricated imagery and a defamatory attack lacking any factual basis. You are committing criminal defamation. Arrest is possible, followed by penal consequences.

Additionally, your earlier posts include direct insults toward a specific individual — qualifying as criminal insult.

I recommend you become aware of your legal liability.

419 Lol so what? No one gets arrested from some anonymous board lol

421 “The Cat’s Eyes See All”

420 Are you unaware of past arrests from anonymous SNS and boards?

With a Provider Liability Limitation Act disclosure request, an IP can be traced — leading to arrest.

Death threats visible in the thread also qualify as criminal intimidation.

Civil lawsuits can also be filed for psychological harm — and you could be ordered to pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of yen.

Do you even know what lawsuits are?

Well now — how much of that sunk in, huh?

I’ve never lost a flame war against internet trash before. They can come at me however they like.

I’m far from done.
