"Shirogane, do you have time to open the door now?"
On the second floor of the Shirogane household, Uchiha Ryo stood outside the door. Only after hearing the words "Please come in" did he mentally prepare himself and push open the bedroom door.
Just as Kei-chan said, the floor was full of crumpled and wrinkled paper balls.
"Uchiha, you came..."
Shirogane Miyuki turned around and stood in front of the desk, seeming to block something with his body.
"I say, you are the Student Council President, don't make your sister worry. I also understand that at our age we really want to 'stand up', but there should be a limit, right?"
Under Shirogane Miyuki's confused gaze, Uchiha Ryo glanced at Shirogane's bookshelf.
"Where did you hide it?"
"Wait a minute, what exactly are you saying as soon as you come in? What did I hide where?"
Uchiha Ryo looked calm. "That thing... Hey hey, don't think I don't understand, okay? Remember when I went to Toyogasaki as an exchange student last semester? I established a club over there, and the artist inside draws this kind of thing."
Shirogane Miyuki frowned, seeming to recall a certain famous internet artist Uchiha Ryo once mentioned...
"Could it be that you don't buy physical copies? That makes sense. Then look at your phone less in the future. Remember to set a password for your phone, don't let Kei-chan see bad things."
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward and patted Shirogane Miyuki's shoulder meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I understand everything. I'll go downstairs later and tell Uncle Shirogane and Kei-chan that in the future, when you are in the room, they must knock before entering. Also, they shouldn't actively empty your trash can; it's normal for the trash can to have a strange smell."
"And you too... remember to wash your hands frequently."
"... Hah??"
Shirogane Miyuki took a few steps back. "What exactly did you understand? Or rather, what kind of person do you take me for! Wait a minute, you didn't already tell Kei-chan and the others, right?!"
"Ah, isn't it what I thought? Shirogane, aren't you climbing the stairs to adulthood by yourself?"
"Absolutely not!"
Uchiha Ryo turned his head and focused his gaze on the waste paper on the floor.
"Where are you looking? These are just letters I'm preparing to write! They are all handwritten letters, do you understand! Uchiha, do you understand the romance of using handwritten letters in this information age?"
Shirogane Miyuki took the initiative to clean up the trash thrown on the floor, while Uchiha Ryo picked his ear, pulled over a chair, and sat aside.
"So, what is the situation? You got a pen pal?"
Shirogane Miyuki smiled awkwardly. "Not exactly a pen pal. At first, we connected on LINE mailbox. Later, as we chatted, we wanted to change the form of communication."
Uchiha Ryo frowned. "Shirogane, you aren't being catfished, are you? There are more and more people catfishing recently. Besides, changing the communication method from online mailbox to real mailbox, is this reasonable? Can't you just ask to meet up and change to physical communication?"
"Your way of speaking is the unreasonable one!"
Uchiha Ryo sighed. "Let me tell you a story..."
"I know a person. His family background is superior, and his status is high. But just because he met a netizen in an online game, after months of communication, he realized he had turned into a Gotham villain."
"You know your family's situation. If this guy, whom you don't know is a netizen or a pen pal, says they lack funds and asks you for help, what will you do?"
Shirogane Miyuki scratched his head. "It won't involve money... At first, I just saw her always complaining, and then I went to comfort her."
To prove that he was just purely kind-hearted, Shirogane Miyuki revealed his LINE mailbox chat history.
The cause was about five or six days ago. Because the chat software LINE also borrowed the function of a certain network drift bottle, one can speak anonymously and be randomly received by netizens.
And Shirogane Miyuki received an anonymous complaint while surfing the internet out of boredom.
Based on that complaining network email, Shirogane Miyuki inferred that this person should be a female student of Shuchiin, so he thought about whether to try to comfort the other party.
After all, he is the President of the Shuchiin Student Council. If a classmate comes to the Student Council room to seek help, he will definitely help too.
Uchiha Ryo expressed: "Then you are actually quite a nice person."
Continuing to read, first was that girl's complaint.
First, about a few months ago, when this girl was playing games online, her gender was exposed when she was scolded for being bad at the game. So a netizen proposed to carry her in the future.
The girl was very happy to have a player with good strength to carry her, so after playing together for a few weeks, the other party actually took the initiative to recharge money for her? Buying VIP, which surprised the girl very much.
However, after all, it was the other party's voluntary action. Even if the girl wanted to refuse, the money had already been recharged.
Later, after learning that the girl was a student of a certain famous local institution, that netizen became even more excited to play with her and spend money on her.
The girl felt very apologetic and intended to stop there, but the netizen actually invited her to meet... and was rejected.
Unexpectedly, the netizen actually found the place where the girl worked through some method, and disgustingly sent a cat girl outfit!
The girl expressed refusal, but a few days later, a nurse outfit was sent again! After that, it was a Gothic Lolita dress!
So the girl blocked the netizen. The internet is really dangerous—Amen.
Shirogane Miyuki gritted his teeth. "The most famous local institution is our Shuchiin, right? So after I received this anonymous complaint, I also chatted with her anonymously."
"Wait a minute!"
Uchiha Ryo frowned. Don't say it... don't you really say it! What he is thinking! Is it exactly what he thinks it is!
Why does he feel this plot is a bit familiar, seemingly heard a different version somewhere!
Shirogane Miyuki coughed lightly and continued.
"Then the two of us kept chatting anonymously. She complained to me a lot, for example, there is a scummy brother at home who always squeezes her for work. You say such a person is definitely scum, right! Actually making his own sister work or something..."
"And that scummy brother of hers actually made her owe a loan, and she has to pay it back for more than a year! Really... people's hearts nowadays."
Shirogane Miyuki smiled. "Later, I also complained to her about life. Not only do I have to work part-time to maintain the family livelihood, but I also have to maintain my grades so that I can hold my head high."
Maybe anonymous mutual complaining can really make one feel better. Venting all the things he wanted to scold and release in his heart, anonymously spraying that scummy brother of hers, Shirogane Miyuki was actually very happy.
However, just a few days ago...
[Although we chatted happily, I don't plan to add your LINE. I don't even know which city you are in. How about this... I will write a handwritten letter. If you can get it and reply within a week, we might become long-term pen pals — Anonymous]
This was the last message sent by the other party. And Shirogane Miyuki also successfully found the handwritten letter in a glass bottle outside a cafe called Cloud Cat a few days ago.
Uchiha Ryo fell into silence: "..."
What can he say? In short... Enyun-chan, you harm people deeply!
