Supporting High School Student Got Flamed

I didn’t mention it out loud but my smartphone has been vibrating for a while now.

I thought that it was the group message from Masato or Suzuka contacting me but…….eh, no, no, no, no, such a thing can really happen?

I am afraid to take it out since it is still vibrating.

“Hey.”

“Y, Yes!”

“I just registered an account on SNS literally just now you see.”

“ “ EHHHHHHH!? “ “

Right, that reaction is normal. So just what is the cause of this tremor in my pocket?

“So.”

“Y, Yes.”

“Why do you think my smartphone has been vibrating since a while ago?”

“…………”

I turn on my phone and open SNS. On the front page, my first post was reposted 403 times, with 1k+ likes, and over 300 replies.

“Hahaha, Uhh, is this what you call a Going Viral？”

“Th, that must be it! Surely, they must be saying that the real one just appeared!”

“Le, let’s open the notification tray and take a look!”

“Y, yeah? I am the real deal after all right?”

I lay down my trust and open the notification. It’s, it’s not like that right? I’m the real Kamishiro Kousei so of course, it will be okay right?

Is it fun to steal others’ names and earn followers? What are you trying to accomplish here? You want to be famous that much?

“……………”

“……H H H H, How is it!?”

“Y, you could still technically call this a BUZZ you know!?”

“No, I’m totally being flamed right now right!? I got flamed since my first post after the registration!? This is a lie……..I’m not a certain internet savvy lawyer you know……..”

Eh, what did I just get myself into? There are people writing down a text wall in the reply section now……. F, F, For the time being, let’s try consulting Suzuka……..? Hmm, it’s not Suzuka here….she used Asuka on here right, Oh, she has 100,000 followers……that’s intense…….

@Asuka_official

I just registered on SNS but I immediately got flamed, what should I do……?”

龍王@ryuuou_ikirito

＠Kamishiro_1224

“ARGHH!! Who the hell is this Ryuou guy! I have never even heard of you before!”

“Uh, Uhh……Ryuou is a pretty famous person on SNS…….he’s the kind of person that exposes people for underage drinking…….”

“H, Hey……I am the real deal right?”

“That’s right! You are the real Kamishiro Kousei!”

“R, Right? Ah, I got a reply from Asuka.”

麻倉明華@Asuka_official

@kamishiro_1224

Just in case can you give me proof? If it’s not credible then I will block you. I’m in a hurry right now so if you are going to do it then do it soon.

Ryuou has posted a reply.

龍王@ryuuou_ikirito

This guy’s account will be gone soon lol.

“I’m not getting shot down yet! And why are you so fast! What’s up with this guy!”

Why does he reply even faster than Suzuka! The hell is up with him? Is this bullying? Is this what called cyberbullying?

“L, Let’s send her the proof!”

“That’s right! Let’s send the proof!”

“What kind of proof do you think would work?”

“Is there any photo you can use? Like the ones that are not in a magazine or ones that are taken by another model…….”

Hmmm……another model huh…….Ah, I have a good one right? There’s no other choice since she says that she will block me immediately if I don’t give her credible proof. I have a photo of her that I took a long time ago.

“How about this one?”

“That should be good!”

“Th, This will surely do the job……..”

@Asuka_official

I have this photo though……

@kamishiro_1224

HAAAAAA!? Wait!? The real one!? That’s not the one from last year either! That one was no good so I told you to erase it right!? Rather, why are you registering today!?

神代光生@kamishiro_1224

@Asuka_official

Well, I arrived too early for our meet-up so I thought that I should take my time to register. I thought that I should post today’s pictures too you know.

Also, I forgot to erase it.

“Eh? This time my reply is being reposted by Asuka’s fans instead. And the likes keep coming too……”

小鳥遊@takanashi3

@Kamishiro_1224

To think that it is the real deal……! I will spread the word as much as possible, sir!

東雲@shinonome_23

@kamishiro_1224

You have finally started an SNS! I was waiting for this!

東海林@shouzi_123

@kamishiro_1224

As insignificant as I am, I am going to help reposting this! I bought your latest magazine too!

“Oh, I am getting more and more followers……..”

There was no reaction from that Ryuou guy though…..Ah, he blocked me.

NaHCO3-san has reposted the quote.

[GoodNews] Ryuou just ran away when he realized that it’s the real one

“Nn? This time it’s a repost from a strange chemical formula named guy……”

“Uhh, Ah! That person is a self-proclaimed Glasses Beauty JK! If that person quotes it then I think that you are safe now!”

“Really!? That’s great……”

“What’s great about it! What were you doing!?”

When I thought that I finally had my flaming problem resolved, Suzuka appeared looking like she ran out of breath. When I saw the time, it was almost the time we promised to meet.

“I registered one because you told me about it the other day you know……..I never expected to get flamed though…….”

“Right! Rather, it would be much better if you messaged me instead of tagging me in a post earlier right……”

“Ah…..”

Why did I tag her on SNS instead of messaging her…..? I really did panicked huh.

“You forgot about it huh……more importantly, who are these two?”

Suzuka noticed the duo of high school girls next to me. They are completely solidified now.

“They are my fans.”

For the time being, they helped me with SNS so I introduced them with a smug expression.

“Ah, that’s how it is huh……that’s good…….”

“U, Uhh! We are cheering for you!”

“M, m, me too! I bought the previous magazine that you two were featured together too!”

The two are not biting their tongue as they did earlier but they seem quite stiff talking to Suzuka.

“Thank you. I want to talk more about it but we have to go soon. See you around okay.”

“Y, yes!”

“Alright! Let’s go!”

“Let’s……..I will teach you more about SNS on the bus.”

“Oh! That will really help!”

Suzuka openly sighed at my reply.

“You might get flamed again if I don’t properly explain it to you after all………it would be nice if you understand the power of your fame a little you know…….”
