Things started on a certain day.

It's almost like a corny TV show - open the school locker door and see indoor shoes and stationery soaked in sewage.

Sumire Tohsaka was stunned for a rare moment.

"What, what's going on here?" Kawashima Etoshiko exclaimed.

"How should I put it... I don't quite understand the situation." Sumire Tohsaka rolled up her indoor shoes soaked in mud and water through a handkerchief, showing a trace of curiosity, "Is this the one that is often seen in comics?"

She spit out those two words with novelty.

"...bullying?"

"It doesn't make sense..." Eriko Kawashima shook his head in disbelief, "There is no reason for Tohsaka-san to be targeted, right? People like you have no reason to go through this kind of thing..."

For Etoko Kawashima, who is timid and afraid of being bullied, the school is a world with distinct levels. She knows very well that the unsocial self is close to the bottom of this hierarchy and will fall down at any time.She knows the characteristics of those who are easy to be targeted - dark, withdrawn, homeless, fat, poor, outsider, with an accent... Such children will slip to the bottom of the school if they are not careful , become a role that everyone can bully.

However, Tohsaka Sumire is an A-level person in every way—good background, outstanding appearance, very good academic performance, popular with teachers, very popular in school, and a best-selling author with many fans... In the eyes of Eriko Kawashima, she is simply a perfect character with no dead ends.

No matter how you think about it, she has no reason to be targeted.

"However, malice doesn't need a reason, does it?"

Sumire Tohsaka took out her phone and took these photos, and sent them to her Line friends as if interested.

"For some people, just being there is already unforgivable."

"Could such a thing happen?" Kawashima Eriko murmured incredulously, "How is it possible, this is too unreasonable..."

"Actually, there are quite a few such things."

Sumire Tohsaka casually opened the school's school forum, and showed Jiang Lizi the posts on the front page.

【Am I the only one who thinks Sumire Tohsaka is fake? 】

[What do you think Sumire Tohsaka did after she got into Maki-sensei's car that day?I have also seen her walking with different men before, this woman must not have a bad style in private www]

【Who said Sumire Tohsaka is the young lady?I took a look at the background of her family, and I died laughing, Miss?That's it? 】

Swiping through one by one, even if he didn't click on the post, Eriko Kawashima could still feel the maliciousness in it.She didn't dare to imagine the scene in the post at all, and she didn't know where she got the courage to grab Sumire Tohsaka's phone, and turned off the interface without looking at it, preventing her from continuing to read.

"Don't look at these... Tohsaka-san." She gritted her teeth, only to realize that her fingers were trembling all the time, "There is no need to look at such things! They just want to make you feel bad! Don't Be fooled by them!"

This kind of behavior is just a group of people hugging together to bully one person.

"Don't Kawashima-san go to see it?" Tohsaka Sumire looked at her in surprise, "There are also some things that are true..."

"I know, but the you they are talking about is definitely not the real you." Eriko Kawashima took a deep breath, and smiled reluctantly at Sumire Tohsaka, "I believe the Tohsaka-san I know. Than Compared with those who have neither spoken nor met with you, I believe what I see with my own eyes. No matter how many things I don't know about the real you... At least, you are definitely not like what they say like that."

The shy and cowardly girl paused, recalling what Sumire Tohsaka said yesterday, forced herself to straighten her chest, and smiled at her still trembling.

"Tohsaka-san didn't do that kind of thing, I've been watching, I know. The wrong person, the person who should apologize...not you."

Sumire Tohsaka watched her silently for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand, and lightly stroked Eriko Kawashima's cheek.

"Thank you, Jiang Lizi." She said with a smile, calling her name for the first time, "However, during this time, you should keep a distance from me."

Etoko Kawashima was stunned: "W-why?"

"Because E Liko will get hurt." Tohsaka Sumire said calmly, "This incident is different from the general disgust and pranks... it is organized. If attacking me personally doesn't work, they will attack those around me. People, hurt me in this way. In that case, Jiang Lizi will be very dangerous. So... it is better to keep a distance from me for the time being."

"But in that case..."

At the thought of being bullied too, Kawashima Etoko felt as if a large, heavy clod of mud had slipped into his stomach.When she was in elementary school, there were boys in her class who were bullied so much that they could not go to school. Thinking that she would suffer the same kind of treatment, she couldn't help but get cold hands and feet.Just thinking about how she was surrounded by everyone's malice and siege, she felt that it was difficult to breathe.

Because of this——because of this, whenever she thought of Sumire Tohsaka being treated like this, she felt like a thorn was scratching her back.

"...Aren't you afraid?" She couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Tohsaka Sumire took the phone back from E Liko's hand, and sent all the links to Akashi Seijuro and the class teacher, "Should I be afraid at a time like this?"

Seeing her series of neat movements, Kawashima Etoko couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.

"That's right..." She scratched her cheeks with some embarrassment, "Student Tohsaka is so powerful, there is absolutely no need to be afraid of such things."

Sumire Tohsaka smiled slightly, noncommittal.

but……

The gem-like green eyes quietly stared at the locker in front of her, and Sumire Tohsaka suddenly had the illusion that... she was in a certain trap.

— This is just the beginning.

She definitely read such information from this pile of garbage.

Then.Just as Tohsaka Sumire expected, with her indifference, the incident began to escalate step by step.

First, someone painted messy graffiti on the table, and wrote extremely oppressive sentences such as "Go to hell", "Bitch", "Cheap bus www" and so on that could not be washed off with a red oil-based pen.Stationery and textbooks are also always missing.Someone even sneaked into the studio, messed up the oil painting she left on the easel, and squeezed all the paint on her seat...

As for harassing calls on mobile phones and spam in mailboxes, it has completely become a routine.What's more, after the teacher issued a solemn warning and started the whole school to search for the criminal who did such a thing, someone ran to her house and stuffed a dead cat that had been cut up to pieces into the mailbox.

On the day when she saw the dead cat in the mailbox, Sumire Tohsaka put on rubber gloves and took out the small dead body by herself and buried it in the park.Coincidentally, Mrs. Aoi was out to attend a community meeting that day, and Sumire Tohsaka was able to scrub the mailbox by herself without her nervous mother seeing.

After pouring out the last bucket of water, Sumire Tohsaka thought, this is not going to work.

Although these pranks can't hurt her, they can hurt those around her.

Throwing the rubber gloves into the trash can, Sumire Tohsaka thought for a while, then took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hi, I'm Haruka Asahi." She said warmly to the woman on the other end of the phone, "I have something to ask Editor Amano, can he answer the phone?"

At this time, it is right to turn to a reliable adult.

Sumire Tohsaka thought.

only……

"Why is Maki-san here too?"

When the two met, Tohsaka Sumire looked at Maki Yumeto who was following Amano Fumyo, and felt trouble for a long time.

"Because I happened to be a guest at Mr. Amano's house when you called, and I heard something about it and found it very interesting, so I must ask Mr. Amano to bring me over."

Maki Yumeto was still on crutches, but this time his steps were inexplicably much lighter.He bypassed Fumyo Amano who was smiling wryly, sat down on the other side of the sofa, and gave Sumire Tohsaka a funny smile.

"Thank you for your proposal, Mr. Asahi." He patted his right leg, "This problem has been solved. As a reward, I will help you solve these troubles this time—problems about bullying and cursing, I'm a professional."

"..."

Indeed, this is not a lie.Yumeto Sanaki has always been a good writer on bullying issues. His debut work "Curse Test" was created on the theme of a teenager's exam preparation, bullying and cursing and won the Newcomer Award.He is indeed an expert on youth violence and crime.

Sumire Tohsaka pondered for a moment, but still told the story one by one.

After she finished speaking, Fumyo Amano also raised some issues she had observed.

"Actually, there have been a lot of rumors about 'Asahi Haruka' on the Internet recently. Many people have given your work bad reviews in the past, or posted some... very bad remarks on SNS .”

Fumyang Amano used silence to hide a large section of online comments about "Asahi Haruka's work is just a very low-level horror", "children's childish fantasy", "I don't know why people will read it when I'm so old-fashioned", "it's disgusting" and so on. , turning to bring up the anomalies in it.

"It's normal for a work to have bad reviews and some people hate it. But the problem is...too concentrated and too powerful." Fumyang Amano frowned and said, "I also asked someone to investigate those users, their IP Many are very consistent, which means that it is very likely that a group is using multiple accounts to repeatedly attack top posts."

"And the evaluation has no actual content." Zhenmu Mengren sneered, "It can be seen that people who have never seen it are talking nonsense, or they are just repeating other people's words. Please, there is no need to see such a consistent point if there is no opinion. .”

"I don't know why, but this sentence is very convincing when it comes out of Mr. Maki's mouth."

Sumire Tohsaka silently looked at Yumeto Sanaki.

Unlike Asahi Haruka, this one is a big expert in bloody storms. He has always only written about youth bullying and murder, so he has been criticized in the industry. In comparison, Asahi Haruka's little pressure is nothing to mention.

"To be honest, there is something very wrong with your matter."

Zhen Mumengren propped his cheeks and explained the irrationality in one sentence.

"Generally speaking, the bully wants to see the reaction of the bullied, and get feedback from their cowardice, avoidance, anger, sadness, and pain, which will stimulate them to continuously escalate their behavior. Bullying is essentially the strong against the weak Demonstrating your authority. But ... you're not giving them that feedback at all."

Yumeto Sanaki glanced at Sumire Tohsaka's expressionless face, and sighed slightly.

"You said before that you also made a clear counterattack, right? You are also an A-level person. In the case that you have already counterattacked, the situation should be suppressed quickly. Even if there is occasional counterattack, it is still Individual behavior is correct. However, their reaction is very strange, it can be said that it is completely unreasonable."

"so?"

Sumire Tohsaka watched him quietly, waiting for his conclusion.

"So, no matter who is planning this matter, I would say that it must be a very powerful opponent."

Maki Mengren laughed, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Being able to manipulate so many people at the same time, and knowing how to stimulate their emotions, so that they will not give up despite continuous setbacks...even turned this setback into motivation. Should I say it is really dark, or really vicious Woolen cloth?"

While they were still talking about these things, silent conversations were also going on in the room at night on the screens of several mobile phones.

[Sure enough, that guy's happiness value is too high. 】
