<Some days later. Starmony Dorm Common Room>

Kaoru: …? Oh, it’s Tsukasa-kun.

 

Tsukasa: …

 

Kaoru: He seems under the weather, I wonder if anything happened…

 

Tsukasa-kun, good evening.

 

Tsukasa: Hakaze-senpai…

 

Kaoru: Hey, I got some chocolate from some of the staff earlier, why don’t we eat it together?

 

Tsukasa: Chocolate… It’s almost dinner time, so thank you for the consideration, but I’ll have to pass.

 

Kaoru: It should be fine if you eat just one bite. This is a brand you can’t usually get in Japan.

 

Besides, eating sweets will make you feel better. C’mon.

 

Tsukasa: If you insist, then I’ll have just one…

 

…Fufu. It’s delicious ♪

 

Kaoru: I’m glad~. Did it make you feel a little better?

 

You seemed sad just now, what’s up? Did something bad happen?

 

Tsukasa: I don’t know if I could call it bad… Could you look at this.

 

Kaoru: A screenshot from your Hallhands messages… I see, the message is from Senacchi.

 

“You’re the one who wrote that story, aren’t you, ‘Scarlet Cherry’-sensei?”

 

--Oopsie, he caught you.

 

Tsukasa: It appears so. I used a fake name and changed my tone of speaking, but he still ended up finding out it was me.

 

I already deleted the story but… Sigh, what should I do?

 

Kaoru: Hm~. Is this the only message you got from Senacchi? He didn’t say anything else?

 

Tsukasa: I don’t think so. I don’t know. I got so scared when he found out it was me that I didn’t dare reply. 

 

Kaoru: I see~. Well, it’s hard to say for sure what Senacchi thinks based on just one message, but you might have been wrong to post that story without asking him for permission first.

 

Depending on the person, some people might not want stories based on them to be published, after all. 

 

But then again, he only realized because he noticed things only he would know about, and you posted the story as a work of fiction, right? 

 

It should be fine if you just do some reflection, get in a new mindset, and try writing something new in a different genre.

 

If you want to avoid people commenting and asking why you deleted your story, you can always just pick a new username and start over.

 

Tsukasa: …No. I think I will be taking a break from writing for a while.

 

Kaoru: Eh, you’re taking a break?

 

Tsukasa: Yes. And it’s not Sena-senpai’s fault. I had fun posting my story online, but-

 

It was starting to affect my private and work life; I was worrying about how my ratings were doing while at work, and I was constantly rushing to continue writing to see the readers’ reactions

 

Inside the story, I could make myself as strong as I wanted, but I should be living in reality. The real stage for me to fight on, as a Leader, is here.
 

Kaoru: I see… I think using a story-posting site as a fun and easy-going way to share your hobby with others is fine.

 

But Tsukasa-kun is diligent with everything he does, so I guess that wouldn’t work for you.

 

…Nn? Someone’s here.

 

Kohaku: …

 

Kaoru: Woah, he looks just as under the weather as Tsukasa-kun did just now…

 

Kohaku-kun. Why don’t you come over here and have some chocolate?

Kohaku: Hakaze-han…

 

…Oh, Bon’s here as well.

 

Tsukasa: What’s wrong, Oukawa? Your face looks all wrinkly like a salted plum.

 

Kohaku: My face has never looked like that. Didn’t ya hear, Bon?

 

Tsukasa: What exactly?

 

Kohaku: About ScaCherry-han. All of a sudden all their stories’ve been deleted, and the author page is also gone.

 

It’s like they never existed in ta first place, everythin’s gone.

 

Tsukasa: S, so that’s how it is.

 

Kohaku: Sigh, I’d been lookin’ forward to readin’ their new updates too…

 

Tsukasa: (...I immediately deleted everything as soon as I saw the Message from Sena-senpai.)

 

(I didn’t consider the feelings of the people who were enjoying my story.)

 

(For the readers’ sakes… For Oukawa’s sake, maybe I should repost the story after all.)

 

………

 

(...No, now that I’ve decided to put down my pen I should persevere.)

 

(Scarlet Cherry was a temporary name. My true identity is Knights’ Leader, Suou Tsukasa, after all.)

 

…It is a shame that Scarlet Cherry disappeared, but surely they had their own circumstances to consider. It can’t be helped.

 

The Website has many other stories you could read, and if nothing catches your eye, why not try writing something of your own?

 

Kohaku: Who, me? Even if I did write somethin’, I doubt anyone’d want ta read it?

 

Tsukasa: Fufun. If you end up writing something, I will be the first person to read it. Whether or not I’ll like it is a different story, though.

 

I won’t show you any favoritism, so prepare yourself.

 

Kohaku: That’s just what I’d want. I’ll blow ya away with my skill.

 

Kaoru: I’m glad to see the two of you in better spirits. I can relax now.

 

Ran-kun was saying he was enjoying writing as well. Maybe one day one of us will become a famous author…♪
