"Hey, stop spitting blood on me!"
After the silence, a young woman angrily came out: "Why are you falsely accusing Mirai-sensei? What did he do to you?!"
"Did he say Mirai-sensei was nearby?"
Some fans in the guest group looked around in surprise.
"I didn't falsely accuse him." The man with the newspaper said, looking at Guo Letong on stage: "If a mangaka has a personality problem, will you let his work appear on television?"
"This... probably not."
Guo Letong's face looked a little ugly. 'Where did this person come from? He actually appeared in such a public place. Doesn't this harm him?' However,
if the mangaka's personality is not good, Osaka TV will certainly not use his work if public opinion is formed.
"Did you say Mirai-sensei has a bad personality?" Guo Letong looked at him with narrowed eyes and cursed in his heart: "You have a bad personality!" Rina,
who resigned from the television station, had already seen Mirai-sensei. She had a good opinion of him. He should not be a bad person. Someone must be deliberately harming the station and Mirai-sensei.
Guo Letong looked at Tanaka, annoyed. 'He had actually dragged the grudge into such a public place. This man was too much.'
'What should he do now? Drive him away?'
Guo Letong was thinking when a hostess approached and whispered a few words in his ear.
The station leaders had been paying attention to the situation on stage and were very worried about the man who suddenly appeared. They told Guo Letong to invite him on stage to see what he wanted to say.
There was no other option. The Osaka Carnival was being broadcast live. If the dispute was not resolved properly, the public would definitely not be satisfied.
"Is that okay?"
Guo Letong was very annoyed, but he still asked the man to come closer and asked him what he wanted to say.
"Do you know who Mirai-sensei is?"
"I know." The man was not nervous at all after getting on stage. He spoke to the camera: "Do you remember what happened recently? A girl who claimed to be a fan of Mirai-sensei jumped into the Kamo River...".
As he spoke, the crowd began to shout.
"I've heard about this."
"Me too. It happened recently. Didn't they rescue her?"
"Wait a minute!"
The girl, obviously a fan of Mirai-sensei. She asked the man: "What does this have to do with Mirai-sensei? The girl jumped into the river because she suffered domestic violence. Don't try to implicate Mirai-sensei!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Don't try to implicate Mirai-sensei!"
At one point, many female companions gathered around the girl and all responded. They all knew about it and stared at the man on stage. 'Who is this guy? He's slandering Mirai-sensei again.'
"If you don't want to die, come with us!"
The girls' eyes reflected a strong threat. The man, who was observing carefully, felt goosebumps all over his body. He took a step back, but thinking of the great reward, he continued:
"The reason she jumped into the river doesn't matter. The important thing is that she asked Mirai-sensei to meet her, but Mirai-sensei didn't save her!"
As soon as he uttered this sentence, Takumi, among the audience, understood everything.
"He wants to use that incident to discredit me?" Takumi asked. He looked at Tanaka. He was smiling and seemed very proud, but in Takumi's eyes, he started to look strange.
After thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that the reason why Mirai-sensei was said to be a bad person was that he hadn't saved the girl. Takumi sighed inwardly. 'Takeshi and the yacht were related to him. Even if he hadn't saved her, what difference was there between the facts and his salvation?'
"I've contacted the young woman."
At that moment, Kenji Sato returned. He leaned in and whispered in Takumi's ear: "The young woman said she brought some witnesses. She asked you to ignore Tanaka and wait for her. She'll handle it."
Takumi was surprised, and suddenly, a wave of joy swept over him. 'Alice had gone to find witnesses in advance. Had she really discovered Tanaka's plan? It was amazing.' Then, when she returned, this crisis would naturally end.
However, thinking of Tanaka's words "dishonored," Takumi's heart grew cold again. He vaguely sensed that things would not be so optimistic. The people Tanaka was targeting were not just "Mirai-sensei," but also him. In other words, 'could Tanaka combine "Mirai-sensei" and "Takumi"?'
Takumi looked up and saw the argument intensifying.
"You're going too far! That guy left a message in Mirai-sensei's space, and there was no other communication. Does that mean Mirai-sensei will definitely see it?"
The fight that broke out also involved Haru. She was so angry that the celebration she had so carefully prepared was interrupted by an inexplicable man, and her reprimand was shared by many.
"That's right, I often don't check my space."
"Who would spend all day looking at the internet?"
"Mirai-sensei is not in the Kamo River. It's crazy to say he has a personality problem!"
The last sentence made the man on stage laugh.
"What if he had been at the scene?" Suddenly, he said: "What if Mirai-sensei had been on the Kamo River bridge, but had done nothing and just watched from the side?"
"Does that prove that Mirai-sensei didn't help his readers? Is such a character without problems worth believing in?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Was Mirai-sensei at the scene?"
"Impossible, but if so... Mirai-sensei must be..."
"I know who Mirai-sensei is!"
Seeing that the guests were a little shocked, the man took advantage of the situation, unfolded the newspaper, and held it up.
"Camera, record!"
"Look, this is a photo taken by a reporter that night. There are onlookers, and one of them is Mirai-sensei!"
The camera pointed at the newspaper, which was several days old. There was a photo showing the situation of the public when the Kamo River incident occurred.
Takumi's eyes widened, and he saw his figure among the crowd.
That's why, 'no wonder Tanaka wanted to use this photo to reveal his identity!'
"I didn't expect there to be such a photo..."
Takumi seemed calm and quickly thought of countermeasures.
However, the man didn't want to give him any chance. He shouted: "Mirai-sensei is in this photo! He's at our scene! Look for him!"
Upon seeing the photo, everyone started shouting.
"Was Mirai-sensei at the scene?"
"Could it be true?"
The guests looked at the newspaper on the screen and then searched for people with similar appearances around them.
Some reporters also took out their cameras and began to look for the target.
Soon, amidst the shouts of several women, some looked at Hinotori Publishing's head, Takumi, who looked cold.
"No...".
"It's Mirai-sensei...".
