“No, this is just my imagination. I was just wondering if you had heard that Kanzaki Madoka had an older brother or something.”
It is true that I had heard that Kanzaki Kanzaki had an older brother six years older than her when we were dating.
She said she had a brother who had a brighter personality than she did, was good-looking, and often brought girls home with him.
“Do you have a picture of his face….?”
“Kanzaki Shuuji is not a streamer who shows his face, so I don’t have a picture of his face. I have a document that I have researched and compiled in my own way.”
The material I received from Kurogane.
The document describes what kind of person Kanzaki Shuuji is and why he was revealed to be a three-timing.
Kanzaki Shuuji was a streamer who liked to play only minor games known only to those in the know, and posted them not as live streams but as videos.
He didn’t show his face, just his voice, and he was a famous streamer that even I knew.
Kanzaki Shuuji, who neither showed his face nor live-streamed.
He was a streamer whose identity, much less his three-timing, would never be revealed in any way, but he was also famous for his rather unfortunate handling of social media.
A tweet with a photo that he would post several times a week.
The photos often showed women’s personal belongings or pictures of restaurants that he would never go to alone, and many of the tweets gave the impression that he was dating a woman.
At first, these tweets were spread out of curiosity and attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone thought that the photo had been taken by mistake, but since then, such tweets have been posted frequently.
If it was the first time, it could be dismissed as a mistake, but when it was repeated many times, many people felt that it was posted to get attention.
“It was unclear at the time whether he really had a woman, or whether he was just trying to get attention……but as a result, the number of subscribers to his channel and the number of followers on his social media increased dramatically as a result of the attention he received from this incident.”
“Mei remembers that time, too. He was being criticized from all over the place. However, there is also a term for outrage marketing, so he probably didn’t care about being criticized. Mei doesn’t want to earn money by getting criticized though.”
“Well, that’s usually the case.”
I nodded and turned to the documents.
“As Kurogane said, the number of people who are happy with the attention has increased, but so have the number of troublesome people who try to find out for fun.”
“I guess it was good for him until the point where his channel subscriber and follower numbers increased. He should have stopped there….he was clearly attracting attention, and it was coming back in numbers, and he probably had ulterior motives and couldn’t stop.”
And by not stopping there, it led to the worst possible outcome.
If it had been a tweet that he posted by mistake, people would have asked, [Is it okay to post this?] or [Isn’t this a bad idea?].
But as soon as it became clear that the purpose was to get attention, those who had been concerned felt cheated, and the number of people who were on his side decreased rapidly.
“In a good way and a bad way, he became too conspicuous.”
“As a result, the public’s attention shifted from whether the truth or a lie was important to whether they wanted to expose and punish the truth or a lie.”
“So now we have the guy who can be criticized on the Internet, which everyone loves. But if he had stopped here, the damage would have been minimal. There were still some fans who thought favorably of him at the time. But—there is no turning back now.”
“This person is stupid.”
Mei and I nodded in agreement at his frankness.
“Probably his ego was high. This guy didn’t want to apologize or make excuses for what had happened so far, so he just kept going.”
“Well, even if you go through with the flame, you can still make money as long as your videos continue to get more views. …..Even if your fans disappear.”
“So, he keeps on agitating and making enemies, and as a result, a lot of hate is directed at him, and a lot of people want him to be unhappy.”
“So Jinguuji is the one who pushed a guy who everyone wished to be unhappy into hell.”
“That’s what I mean. No one could get hold of his story, and the man himself was saying, [Hey, try to catch him !] Jinguji was treated like a hero from the day he got the information and exposed him.
Happily ever after.”
Indeed, as far as I can tell, I can see why Jinguuji became a popular scandal streamer in an instant.
“So, it’s possible that he heard the secret that no one else could get from his sister, Kanzaki Madoka…..is the idea that Kurogane came up with based on the information he found?”
“I don’t think this guy would be able to uncover the secret of someone who hasn’t even shown his face all this time. I thought he would have used some kind of subterfuge, but, well, if Kanzaki Madoka has an older brother, this method would be the closest.”
I took a sip of coffee to catch my breath, and my eyes met Mei’s.
“But Senpai, there’s nothing we can do about it once we figure it out, is there? Even if Kanzaki san did leak information about her brother to Jinguuji senpai, we don’t have any proof of that, much less make an issue of it being true.”
“You’re right…….”
“This guy is right. This is just our imagination of how Jinguuji became popular, but that doesn’t make it wrong for others. Unfortunately, it won’t be used as a means to stop Jinguuji from trying to expose the past.”
As the two of them said, even if what they told me here was true, it wouldn’t be a breakthrough.
What we have to do is not let Jinguuji expose us.
“But it’s great that we have this information……”
It may not be information that can be used directly, but I felt that I could find a way out of this situation.
I felt I could get a breakthrough.
“Senpai, what do you think….?”
Mei looked at me with an anxious expression on her face, and I nodded with a smile.
“It’s okay. I’ll protect you, don’t worry.”
“As expected of Mei’s favorite senior♡”
“…Hey, don’t flirt in front of me.”
“Ah, you’re still here.”
“Hey ! …..Tsk. So, how are we gonna corner him? There’s no point in threatening him using Kanzaki Shuuji’s case as a joke, right?”
“I agree. However, with the possibility that Kanzaki Madoka was involved in the first incident, it became clear that Jinguuji would use any means necessary to get the story. If that’s the case, there’s a high possibility that the subsequent video footage was also a hoax.”
“Yes, that’s right. So?”
“If we assume that possibility is true and go for it, then it’s not Jinguuji or Kanzaki, much less Kanzaki Shuuji in the first case……”
I pointed to the documents Kurogane had given me.
“This is the guy.”
