She nodded somewhat awkwardly, took out her phone, and replied in the same way.
"Yes, it's nice to meet you. Can this be kept a secret between the two of us?"
This is a technique that Misaka Hatsuka stole from her seniors in previous years. It can both take into account the feelings of fans and subtly remind them not to reveal their identity.
Hachiman squinted to see the message on the other person's phone, then looked down and retyped, "Okay, I understand what you mean. Also, there was a guy taking pictures of you just now."
what?
The professional smile on Mikasa's face instantly crumbled.
She immediately looked in the direction from which the shutter sound had come, and sure enough, she could see a stranger sneaking around and observing her.
In this situation, you've either encountered paparazzi or extremely enthusiastic fans.
But regardless of the reason, she had no interest in continuing to look at the beautiful starry sky.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Mikasa whispered her thanks, while Hachiman nodded and whispered an apology.
Seemingly sensing Hachiman's low spirits, Mikami Hatsuka explained, "It's okay, this kind of thing happens often, I'm used to it."
I see...
Hachiman felt a pang of sadness for this young idol.
Getting used to being a victim is not an easy thing.
Hachiman, on the other hand, couldn't do that. If anyone dared to secretly film Komachi, he would grab a stick on the spot. He couldn't possibly be this calm.
After saying what he needed to say, Hachiman tidied up, put his seat back in its original position, and left the projection room ahead of time.
After Hachiman left, Misumi Hatsuka sighed heavily.
Have you gotten used to it?
How could anyone get used to this...?
Moreover, the starry sky here is amazing; I really don't want to leave.
but.
The company had repeatedly warned her that if her usual haunts were exposed, she had to completely abandon them in order to maintain her mystique and personal safety.
Previously, in order to be able to view the stars in the planetarium, she had been very careful to conceal her presence, and she hadn't even told her best friend, Mana Junda, about it.
But who could have imagined that in the end it would all be for nothing?
Next time, I can't come here.
Thinking of this, Misaka Chuka's gaze toward that fan turned icy, she clenched her teeth tightly, and muttered a curse under her breath.
"That's disgusting..."
...
Not long after Hachiman left, Mikasa also left the scene ahead of time.
Directly in front of her, a man wearing a baseball cap lowered the brim and watched the girl's departing figure with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, he opened his phone's photo album and contentedly pulled up the photos he had taken.
The image shows Hatsuka Sanka, carefree and enjoying the starry sky from her seat.
It must be said that his photography skills have reached a state of perfection, as he was able to capture such clear images even in such dimly lit places.
"China is still far ahead. Go back, Photoshop the photos, and then share them as torrents with the guys in the group. Won't that cause a huge boom?"
Want some seeds?
Be my son!
The man seemed to have already imagined the scene after he posted the photos in the group, when countless SUMIMI fans called him "godfather".
He smiled unabashedly, and only left his seat reluctantly after the projection ended and the lights above his head came on.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulder.
then.
The phone in my hand was snatched away in mid-air.
He was about to start cursing when he turned around and saw a burly man in a black suit staring intently at him.
The tone of his voice suddenly dropped significantly.
"What are you doing? This is my phone."
"Your phone? I said this is my phone." The burly man slapped the man on the forehead.
"How could this be yours!"
"Then how can you prove it's yours?"
"You...there are photos I took inside!"
Before he could finish speaking, the burly man burst into laughter.
"Alright, you admitted it yourself. Now that the evidence is conclusive, according to the portrait rights law, get ready to come to the police station with us."
The burly man placed a photo of Sanjiao Chuhua in front of him, and the latter was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wait a minute, I didn't take this picture... No, I didn't mean to, it was an accident!"
"Unexpected my foot! Take this punch!"
Without listening to the man's further excuses, the burly man slammed his fist, as big as a sandbag, onto the man's head, instantly knocking him senseless and nearly making him vomit his lunch.
Then, like carrying a dead dog, the burly man led the man who had been secretly filming into his car and dialed the number of Sanjiao Chuhua: "Chuhua, the person who was secretly filming has been caught. I'm taking him to the police station now. Are you alright?"
"fine."
Sitting in a taxi on her way to the company, Mitsukasa held her phone to her ear, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Don't go to that planetarium anymore, understand?"
"it is good..."
After hanging up the phone, Sanjiao Chuhua looked out the car window with mixed feelings.
She was feeling rather depressed during this period.
Many people may envy her for being a rising star, but in reality, SUMIMI's popularity has declined considerably.
The so-called "debuting at the peak" perfectly describes SUMIMI's current situation.
The reason why there is still a huge amount of short video traffic on the Internet is entirely because the company spent money to hire online trolls to boost the popularity.
If the promotional expenses are stopped, SUMIMI's popularity will plummet in the blink of an eye.
This is one of the main reasons why she agreed to join the band with her childhood friend, Toyokawa Shoko.
To maintain her popularity, she needs new topics.
Of course, she also wanted to stay by Xiangzi's side a little longer.
However, at this point, they still encountered extreme fans who wanted to take photos without their consent.
It's absolutely terrible.
"Hey."
After letting out another breath, Sanjiao Chuhua's mood improved a little.
She rested her chin on her pale arm and murmured, "Speaking of which, that boy seemed to be wearing a uniform from Haneoka Academy. If that's the case, he must be from the same school as Shoko. Let's see if Shoko knows him. It would be best if we could thank him in person."
Thinking of this, Misaka Hatsuka sent a text message to her childhood friend.
---Cut line---
What?! My 134 was censored!
Chapter 146, Page 144: Shoko: How could it be Hachiman-kun? (laughs)
"Ding dong!"
Xiangzi, who was on the bus home, heard a message notification on his phone.
This time of day should be related to work.
She pondered this in her heart.
The band's preparations are in their final stages, and around mid-to-late May, the brand-new band she organized will be officially formed.
According to the plan, the band will initially debut under Strawberry Management Company.
This was not her original intention, but rather it was suggested by the other party.
This would give the initiative to Strawberry Brothel in the short term, but considering the help the Saito family had given her, Shoko ultimately agreed to their plan.
In fact, without the strong support of Strawberry Entertainment, their official debut would probably have been delayed by several more months.
Xiangzi plans to separate from Strawberry Management Company and take independent control of operations and finances after the band's popularity stabilizes.
The band's formation went incredibly smoothly, but this was followed by a massive amount of miscellaneous work, all of which Xiangzi had to manage.
For the past month, she has rarely been able to go to bed before 1 or 2 a.m. The long-term sleep deprivation has made her skin look somewhat dull, but her eyes are exceptionally clear.
If she could, she wouldn't want to deal with such tedious copywriting work.
She took her phone out of her pocket, glanced at it, and her serious expression instantly vanished, replaced by a faint smile.
Triangle Chuhua: Xiangzi-chan, something really annoying happened today (>c
Mitsuka is a very professional idol, maintaining a mature and composed style both in her personal life and during her performances.
Another member of SUMIMI, Junda Mana, plays the role of a cute girl next door.
however.
She would occasionally express her dissatisfaction in a childlike manner, just like in this text message.
Toyokawa Shoko: What's wrong, Hatsuka? Shouldn't you be at the planetarium at this time normally?
Triangle Chuhua: Yeah, Xiangzi-chan, listen to me, I ran into fans taking pictures of me again at the planetarium today.
Toyokawa Shoko: That's really annoying. Did you call the police?
Misaka Chuka: I called the company's bodyguards; they should be on their way to the police station now.
Seeing this, Toyokawa Shoko could only say, "Well done, it's absolutely gratifying."
Sasaeng fans are the most disgusting of all extreme fans. They not only break the rules of the idol industry, but also cause serious psychological harm to the idols themselves.
Several musicians she knew developed "Yu Yu syndrome" because they were harassed by a large number of obsessive fans and left the industry early.
And once her band is formed, it will inevitably attract sasaeng fans.
Xiangzi's attitude toward them was very clear.
They must be severely punished! They must be severely punished!
Toyokawa Shoko: Take care of yourself. You're a very famous star now, and you're also the future lead singer of our band.
Triangle Chuhua: I will!
Misaka Hatsuka: By the way, does Shoko-chan study at Haneoka Academy?
Toyokawa Shoko: That's right, what's wrong?
Triangle Chuhua: Thanks to a boy from your school who reminded me today, I was able to catch that stalker fan.
Toyokawa Shoko: It seems our school has a pretty good school spirit.
Misaka Hatsuka: Yes, the boy that Shoko-chan is going to invite later is also from Haneoka Academy, right?
Triangle Chuhua: Do you think it's possible that the boy I met is the same person?
"How could that be? Hachiman is going to work."
Xiangzi muttered to himself while holding his phone.
Toyokawa Shoko: It shouldn't be.
Triangle Chuhua: Oh, okay then, Xiangzi-chan, you go ahead and do your thing, I'm feeling a bit carsick -A-
Shoko Toyokawa: Don't use your phone while on the bus!
