Good afternoon, everyone. This is Eichi Tenshouin. I was hoping that I could seek out some advice from those of you willing to listen.

There seems to be a situation in which one of my friends reacts poorly to me in certain situations, and it's made public enough that it's impossible for me to ignore. For example, if a new commercial of mine is announced, this friend will immediately post something to social media that directly criticizes it without actually addressing me by name. Or, if I happen to post certain pictures of myself, the reaction is just as instant. I've looked into this, and I believe it's called "vagueing."

I have spoken to this friend, but each time it seems that things have been solved, the issue starts over once more without warning. I must be causing some ill feelings to inspire this sort of reaction, but it's all tied directly to my success. I wonder what to do...

This is the first time I'm using the network to post something on my own, so I hope that I've done so correctly. Thank you.

[For context, mid last month Eichi had a boost in popularity from a concert after his months of idol work and now is on the radio, TV, commercials, and etc instead of just indie gigs, so feel free to recognize him as an idol from his name if you'd like!]

Perhaps you are simply so loathsome this friend of yours feels there is no other course of action.

[hi eichi guess who learned how to text]

[finethanks]

[Wow. He's being attacked on his own post?? He probably can guess who this is from whatever Shu's username is, but.]

Is that the first conclusion you jump to? That's unfortunate... I don't think I've been loathsome at all. I wonder why you'd think that?

[dollorous]

[Shu only has one brain cell and it belongs to Mademoiselle so it's DEFINITELY easily guessed.]

You are not the only one learning about colloquial terms, Tenshouin. Recently, I have discovered something called a "Call Out Post." Have you heard of these before? I wonder how much success you would find if people knew about everything you've trampled, without fine's mindless fanbase swaying public opinion.

[Not that he's hiding who he is all that carefully, or at all.]

[finethanks]

I would advise you against that, Itsuki-kun. There's no need to create tension here from nothing.

I have much in store. If you'd like to benefit from it, even from the outskirts, rather than being cast over flames, I suggest you consider the worth of it. I've created my base here firmly, after all. You'll find that I have my own loyal fans already.

[dollorous]

To benefit from something by your design is no benefit at all. I would rather my name be lost to obscurity than have people praise your name in the same breath as my own.

You cravenly wrenched the spear from Valkyrie's hands rather than face it head on and lose, and now one of its wings is clipped, as well...though the latter has nothing to do with you, it's detestable for you to say that any tension created between the two of us is from nothing. How dare you.

This must be why this friend of yours refuses to confront you directly. Talking to you makes a person unclean, down to their soul.

[finethanks]

That boy of yours... Did he disappear?

[Do you like how he ignores most of this... But really, he does feel some sympathy here. He's lost plenty of people— even Tori vanished for a short time.]

[dollorous]

I refuse to answer that. I won't allow you the opportunity to gloat.

[Which is all the answer he needs to give, really.]

In any case, such a garish place is ill suited to someone like Kagehira. He never should have been here in the first place.

["I don't care," he said, caring immensely.]

[finethanks]

I'm hurt to think that you imagine me as the sort of person who would gloat over something like this.

[HURT. As if he's genuinely shocked... Somehow.]

For a short time, my cute Tori vanished from this place as well. I believe I hold similar feelings to you in this regard. It's a difficult place for our precious people to be, but it's lonely without them... Isn't that what you're actually feeling, Itsuki-kun?
