In a closed room.
The girl was clicking the mouse, making one selection after another, and after seeing the girl in the game show a shy expression, she couldn't help but let out a 'hehehe' laugh.
The girl had snow-white skin, long light-gold hair that reached her hips, and a dreamy appearance, looking as pure as an angel, but in reality, she was a deep otaku who loved BL novels and various games.
Her name was Shiina Mafuyu, a girl with androphobia, so she usually didn't like going out, and gradually developed her current hobbies.
It's worth mentioning that she not only liked BL novels but also enjoyed writing on her personal blog, 'Mafuyu-chan,' or posting game guides.
Gradually, she accumulated over 200,000 followers.
About two months ago, she played a magical girl-themed game, which awakened some of her fond childhood memories. So, when she went to buy novels and saw promotional illustrations for 'puella magi madoka magica,' she bought it with the idea of giving it a try.
The result was an unstoppable obsession.
She even posted ten consecutive messages on her blog to complain when she read the senior's famous scene!
What she didn't expect was that her fans all echoed her, showing even more enthusiasm than she did, and being even more engrossed than she was.
After a moment's thought, Shiina Mafuyu understood again.
Those who like BL novels are definitely fujoshi, and a large portion of fujoshi are otaku, because works with fujoshi elements are mostly ACG cultural elements now.
From this, it can be inferred that their hobbies are mostly similar, and a portion of them are certainly not unfamiliar with magical girl-themed works. At that time, because the discussion it generated was very high, many people's attention was drawn to it.
Therefore, after reading 'puella magi madoka magica,' many people shared her feelings, wishing they could drag Izumi Old Thief out and give him a good beating!
However, Izumi Masamune's identity was mysterious, almost unknown to anyone, and his resistance was also very high; the speed of his writing never slowed down.
So, these fujoshi thought of a way to vent their resentment towards Izumi Saikou.
Thus, they suggested writing Izumi Masamune into BL novels.
Firstly, they genuinely enjoyed reading such content, and when the protagonist was replaced by a familiar person, that feeling of satisfaction became even more wonderful.
"That's a good idea!"
Shiina Mafuyu immediately agreed after hearing it.
The girl was very moved and took a very serious attitude to complete that novel, and its quality was also very high, perfectly meeting the expectations of her fans, who praised it endlessly.
Occasionally, when Eriri logged onto the website, she saw some people discussing this matter, so she went to check it out and then informed him about it.
"Capture complete! I got Kobato!"
Shiina Mafuyu clenched her fist, her expression excited.
Soon, she yawned again.
"It's time to sleep… I stayed up late last night, so I'll go to bed early tonight."
Just as Shiina Mafuyu was about to shut down her computer, she suddenly received a message to add a blog friend.
"Hmm?"
She opened it and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Izumi… Masamune? Izumi-sensei! This has a verification badge, is it really him?"
Shiina Mafuyu's expression changed several times, and she clicked to accept the friend request.
Before the other party could say anything, she typed impatiently.
Mafuyu-chan: Excuse me, is this Izumi-sensei himself?
Izumi Masamune: Yes, just verified.
Mafuyu-chan: …You're not here to reprimand me, are you! Izumi-sensei, I admit my mistake! I love your works the most!
Izumi Masamune: I'm not angry; this is also your freedom.
Mafuyu-chan: Izumi-sensei is very approachable, not what I expected. I thought he would be the ruthless type!
Izumi Masamune: …
Izumi Masamune: I'm not some kind of devil.
"Hehehe… Izumi-sensei is much more interesting than I imagined."
Shiina Mafuyu looked at his messages and laughed.
She had been a little sleepy just now, but now she was wide awake.
Being able to chat with Izumi-sensei, she had to cherish this hard-won opportunity.
Izumi Masamune: Well, although I'm not angry, I am still a little bit bothered.
Shiina Mafuyu understood this sentence.
Mafuyu-chan: Since sensei doesn't like being the uke, then I'll make sensei a bit more assertive!
Izumi Masamune: ???
Mafuyu-chan: Just kidding, sensei… I understand! I won't write it again!
Izumi Masamune: It's good that you know. As for what you wrote before, you don't need to delete it; just leave it there.
Mafuyu-chan: Thank you, sensei!
Writing such articles about public figures actually infringes on certain rights. If they ignore you, it's fine, but if the other party comes looking, they have the right to ask you to delete the draft and apologize.
But Izumi Chihiro's handling of it warmed her heart.
"Although his works are very depressing, sensei's heart is still gentle! Calling him an Old Thief, after all, was indeed a bit biased!"
Shiina Mafuyu muttered to herself.
Mafuyu-chan: Oh, by the way, Teacher, can I ask you a few questions?
Izumi Masamune: Ask anything you like, as long as it's something I can answer.
Mafuyu-chan: Alright then, I'd like to ask...
...
"Phew."
With the small talk over, Izumi Chihiro let out a sigh of relief.
He had finally nipped the potential trouble in the bud.
Although he was usually indifferent to how others portrayed him, and insults could be ignored, being cast as a character in a BL novel really hit his weak spot.
He was a dignified man; how could he play such a role!
After all, as a blogger with over 200,000 followers, he did have some influence.
So, he chose to slightly maintain his not-so-glorious image.
"Hmm? What's this...?"
Unable to sleep yet, Izumi Chihiro logged into his Twitter account and was surprised to find that 'Kashiwagi Eri-sensei,' whom he followed, had posted a new message.
He clicked to view it, and his expression instantly froze.
"Eriri, you're not playing fair!"
He gritted his teeth and also glanced at the comment section.
It was simply unbearable.
Everyone expressed great joy at his discomfiture and hoped Kashiwagi Eri would continue her efforts.
If this continued, it might become a regular fan feedback event!
There was nothing he could do; after all, so few people could get close to Izumi Saikou.
The fans' targets were limited to just a few, and Kashiwagi Eri, who seemingly had the best relationship, naturally became their spokesperson.
This was the only way they could fight back.
