The Popular Beautiful Idol, Who Suddenly Announced Her Secret Love Relationship and Retired, Is My Girlfriend - Chapter 17 - On Social Media

Chapter 17 – On Social Media

On a certain social media:

[Seriously, this can’t be real.]

[I didn’t think Angel-chan would be like that.]

[Disappointed.]

[Just die normally.]

[Betraying the fans and then acting like that, unbelievable.]

[Her attitude is infuriating.]

[Just another idol who only sees fans as money.]

[Angel-chan is done.]

[Idols are all the same after all.]

[I wonder what she was thinking to say something like that.]

[This is way too shocking…]

[I threw away all her merchandise, it feels stupid to have spent money on it.]

[Give me my money back![

[Trash idol.]

[She’s the worst.]

[I might not be able to support idols for life.]

[Maybe it’s just a publicity stunt for controversy?[

[An idol only for looks.]

[Such a scumbag, it’s almost funny.]

[I bet her boyfriend is the same.]

[What’s with that last parting shot? Self-assertion?[

[Her boyfriend is probably just a regular guy, right? Maybe someone from school.]

[Internet users are scary, haha, Angel-chan is getting bashed big time.]

[Yes, this is it! This is exactly what I wanted to see! This feeling is the best![

Futaba said, throwing her phone on the bed and laughing loudly.

A few hours after the press conference, Futaba and I were in a hotel room in downtown Tokyo.

Since sending Futaba back home like that would cause a lot of problems, the manager arranged for her to stay in a hotel.

There’s a chance that fans waiting outside might follow Futaba home, and that could lead to potential crimes.

We managed to get here by blending in with the cars of people involved, so we should be free from any followers.

Futaba’s manager probably never expected that getting a hotel would be her last task.

“Hah~! I was able to say what I wanted to say and I’m so satisfied with today’s press conference!”

“But the internet is in chaos.”

I sighed as I looked at the reactions of netizens displayed on my smartphone.

“That’s what makes it great! Everyone is making a fuss like crazy, and it’s so cute!”

“The person at the center of a controversy enjoying it this much is not something you see every day.”

“I said so much at the press conference just to see this, you know? It’s a loss if I don’t enjoy it properly~”

“True, after doing all that, all that’s left is to enjoy the reactions.”

People on the internet, or rather, humans in general, are amazing.

They can easily be swayed by the opinions of the crowd or, if something doesn’t sit right with them, they can quickly change their stance. 

It’s admirable. How does one develop such a personality?

Wearing the strongest armor of anonymity, they relentlessly bash a girl who has bared her true self, both face and real name, with the knife of words.

Certainly, Futaba has her flaws, and I’m well aware of that.

However, using that as a justification to attack her is not acceptable.
