Chapter 339: Real-Name Internet Access Starts Today
Since they weren't going for sightseeing, but just wanted to find a quiet place to hide from the current commotion for a few days, Eriri immediately made a decision after looking at Kaede's phone.
"We're going to Chiba!"
Seeing Eriri make up her mind, Kaede couldn't help but glance again at the user avatar he had just seen.
The avatar of Kosaka Kirino immediately made Kaede think of that famous "sister-complex" hometown, Chiba Prefecture, which wasn't far from them.
Since they weren't going for tourism, Chiba Prefecture indeed met their requirements. There were places to play, and they could also relax easily.
After deciding, Kaede immediately picked up his phone and called the school teacher to discuss taking a week off.
The school naturally had no problems, because the principal had already received calls from several media outlets today, wanting to come for an interview.
There was nothing they could do; there hadn't been much news recently, and the sudden explosion of Kaede and Eriri's identities really made many newspaper reporters smell bonus money.
But fortunately, the Sawamura Family had already informed and discussed with the school, so all the media that contacted them were politely declined by the principal. Subsequently, the media also received contact from the Sawamura Family, knowing that offline interviews were out of the question.
A week's leave, while normally impossible for an average student without a good reason, was not a big problem for Kaede and Eriri. Their academic performance was not a concern at all. After a moment of thought, the teacher approved their leave slips.
Eriri, who had been silent while Kaede was on the phone, had a smile that gradually grew wild.
After Kaede finished his call and hung up, Eriri put Camearra aside and jumped up directly: "Yay!!! Holiday!!!"
Looking at the girl's behavior, Kaede didn't stop her and said with a smile, "Don't get too excited, okay? No work tonight. Remember to pack your luggage, and I still need to notify Mom to come over tomorrow morning to pick up the Cat."
"Oh, that's right!"
Looking at the three Cats, Eriri remembered that they really needed to board the Cats.
"Kaede-kun, if we have a chance in the future, let's take the Cats out to play together."
"Hmm, we can, but let's wait until next year. Once I get my driver's license and buy a car, we can take these little guys out to play together."
"Mm-hmm, next year!"
Picking up Golza, who had been attracted by Eriri's movements, Eriri rubbed him and said, "Play at home for now. When we buy a car later, we'll take you out to play. There are many fun places~~~"
After Kaede and Eriri planned their trip, they informed their respective families. Knowing the online commotion, their parents did not object. Moreover, they had even gone to Hokkaido by themselves before without parents, and still had a safe and happy time. This time it was just Chiba, so there was even less to worry about.
After contacting their parents and getting permission, Kaede asked, "Eriri, it's almost time. Do you want to post something on Twitter?"
"Hmm~~~ How should I post it?"
Speaking of this, Eriri was a little troubled: "I've never thought about this before. I used to post tweets as Kashiwagi Eri, but now I have to use my real name. Suddenly I feel a bit constrained."
"Actually, it's not that complicated."
Kaede put his arm around Eriri's shoulder and said with a light laugh, "Just do what you used to. We never posted anything bad before, did we? Just keep it up in the future."
"But before I..."
"You said that was before. That was the old Kashiwagi Eri, not Eriri, who has become a manga artist."
Although it was a bit of a sophistry, it didn't seem to have any problems.
"Hmm, then let's do that. Kaede-kun, tell me how to post it, and I'll follow your lead."
"Actually, it's very simple."
Kaede had already thought about it when he first came back, and now he directly took out his phone and opened the selfie function.
Eriri saw Kaede take out his phone for a selfie, instinctively tidied her hair, and then said, "Eh? That..."
"Smile!"
The next second, "Click!"
A photo was taken.
Kaede looked at the finished product and nodded in satisfaction: "Mm-hmm, good, let's use this. Eriri, I'll send you a copy. Just post this picture, we don't need to say much else. What people online care about most is what we look like; everything else has pretty much been revealed."
"Hmm... okay."
Seeing that the photo was indeed well taken, Eriri didn't refuse.
Eriri was the kind of girl who was very confident in her looks, just like Utaha. They generally wouldn't choose to edit photos after taking them, unless the lighting was bad, in which case they would adjust it slightly.
After receiving the photo and confirming it again, she and Eriri immediately posted it on Twitter, and also changed their Twitter account avatar to a joint photo of the two of them.
As soon as this picture was posted, the already lively internet became even livelier. Many people had been intermittently checking their Twitter accounts since this morning, waiting for them to speak up, and finally, in the afternoon, they did.
Although their identities had been exposed in the morning, regarding their looks, there was actually only textual information. No one had privately taken photos of them; at most, there were only back shots or similar.
In comparison, Utaha was a bit more unlucky. Her photos had already appeared online, directly attracting a large number of male light novel readers, and the sales of love metronome in many places saw a surge. Utaha didn't know whether to be happy or sad after learning this news.
Now, besides Utako Kasumi, Red Maple and Kashiwagi Eri have all gone online with their real names, and each of them has such high Appearance, not to mention Kaede and Eriri are also engaged.
Many people, after seeing the photos, immediately thought of a past couple in the industry, Yoshihiro Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi.
There's no need to mention the old scoundrel Togashi; his looks in his youth were average, not handsome. However, Naoko Takeuchi has always been a famous beautiful manga artist in the industry.
And today, an even more exaggerated industry couple appeared, so it was impossible for their popularity not to be high.
It was just a pity that many people, after seeing their photos, searched through them but couldn't find any interviews or similar information about them. The most they could learn was about Kaede's two previous appearances on TV shows.
As for the interview questions agreed upon by the Bunko and the media, they had only just reached Kaede's hands. To be published online, it would have to wait until at least evening.
Knowing that posting the pictures would definitely lead to an explosion of comments on Twitter, Kaede and Eriri directly exited Twitter and began to look at the media interview questions.
