I looked through Sakura's blog with the fake name Shizuku.
Damn... A high schooler having such a body...
Reading through the comments, I found the stalker's id.
ShizukuFan01
This guy sure is obsessed.
Reading his comments, it seemed like he got the idea that it was 'fate' that she came to his store.
Sakura came out of her dorm room, carrying a lot of letters.
And reading some of them, even I and Sudo felt creeped out.
"I am gonna beat up-"
"Sudo. That's not how you deal with people. It will only ruin Sakura and your reputation, and you may be filed for assault even if your reason is justified.
Both of you can't have scandals. It will seriously affect your career."
"Damn it!"
He kicked the wall, but started counting sheeps to calm himself down.
"Never resort to violence first.
Alright. We will now punish the stalker.
And Sakura, you need to be brave right now.
Till when will you try to hide yourself? If one stalker is scaring you so much, then how do you plan to become an idol? We all know how toxic that industry is."
Oops... She got more scared.
I put my hands on her cheeks, and forced her to look at me.
"Just trust me on this. Okay?"
"A-alright..."
My phone rang, and it was Mashima-sensei.
"I am outside the dorm building."
"Alright. The teacher is here. I heard that he is strong and can fight. Let's go."
Reluctantly, Sakura followed us. Well, I was holding her hand and dragging her. She was nervous without her glasses.
My first assumption of her being confident without glasses, like Shinchan's teacher, was wrong. She is more fragile than I expected.
As we went down with all the proofs, Mashima-sensei was waiting for us.
But, someone else was with him.
"I don't think I called you, Chabashira-sensei."
"I called her. She is your homeroom teacher."
I could only sigh as she stared at me.
"I just want you to observe as we deal with the stalker. And Mashima-sensei, please process a complaint after this against relevant school authorities that allowed that stalker into the school premises.
I am going to sue them for the mental trauma Sakura had to go through because the school lets just anyone do business here.
The lawsuit will be of 1 million yen. Japan's laws still apply within the school, so, we will take the school authorities to the Tokyo High Court directly, otherwise, the school will try to hide things to not let its reputation be ruined."
"Alright."
I ignored Chabashira completely, and Mashima, Sudo, and Sakura also got the tense environment between us.
Anyway, this is just a threat so that the school authorities don't dismiss this case and make a settlement with private points.
We can't win against this government school anyway.
"Sudo, start recording."
Sudo did as he was ordered, and I showed all the proof on camera, and then, went to hand them to sensei.
Chabashira spread his hand to receive the bags that contained the letters, but I ignored her and handed them to Mashima-sensei.
"Did something happen, Chabashira-sensei?"
Mashima-sensei couldn't help but ask, and she just shook her head in denial. I did the same.
"Now, I want you three, Mashima-sensei, Chabashira-sensei, and Sudo to follow me and Sakura from a distance, and keep recording.
We are going to lure out the stalker."
They nodded, and I linked my arm with Sakura, and started walking towards the store, while the three followed us from a distance.
If he is an obsessive stalker, he would give some 'donations' to his idol, right?
Before getting him arrested, I will squeeze out some points from him.
We arrived at the store, and the clerk's eyes widened as he saw Sakura without any disguise.
She flinched and hid behind me, and I let her.
"Hello. I am Horikita Suzune and this is the idol Shizuku.
I am managing her idol show that will happen in the summer break.
But..."
"But!?"
He was VERY excited by hearing that Sakura will have a show.
"Renting the gymnasium will require a large amount of points.
That's why, we are asking for donations. The one who contributes the most will be able to get a free VIP ticket, photo, and handshake. The largest donor will even get her autograph.
She bought her camera from here, so we are starting from here.
Would you like to donate?"
"Of course! My name is Yamauchi Takata. Please write 500,000 from me."
I resisted raising my eyebrow at his name.
Yamauchi? I thought this creep being Yamauchi's relative was just fanon.
I created an excel file titled 'Shizuku VIPs', and wrote his name, phone number, and donation amount.
Honestly, I expected it to be more than 500K.
"Please send the amount to this number and I will send you the receipt."
"Umm, can I-"
"I am sorry, but Horikita idol agency doesn't allow idol's phone numbers to get leaked.
However, we provide freedom to our idols that if they themselves want to share their number, or even date anyone, they are free to do so. We plan to bring a change in the toxic idol industry."
"Ahahaha! It's a great move! Idols should be allowed to date, afterall!"
He became happy as he heard that, and even though he promised 500K before, he transferred 1M points.
"Please increase my donation to 1 million."
"Of course! Though I can't predict the future, I can assure you that your donation will probably remain the highest!"
I quickly made a receipt with the Canva template I have prepared beforehand, and gave him it.
"Thanks to you, I am sure that we will be able to rent out the gymnasium. As soon as we confirm the date, I will personally message you.
Let's see....
Hm. I have made a group and sent you the link. Join it for updates on the event.
Have a wonderful evening, sir."
I bowed thankfully, and led Sakura to leave the store.
I whispered to her.
"Sakura, walk down the path we came from. Don't worry. Senseis and Sudo will be keeping a watch. I will join you from behind.
We need to catch this stalker red handed. Just trust me, alright?"
She breathed in deeply, and nodded her head.
Then, I said loudly enough for the store clerk to hear.
"Ah! Shizuku-chan, I need to go to washroom. You must be tired from practice today. Can you head home first? I will join you soon."
She nodded, and left the store after nervously glancing at me, and I reassuredly smiled at her.
Then, I went to the clerk.
"Can you please tell me where the washroom is?"
"This way mam!"
He directed me towards the washroom, and as soon as I entered, he left the store to go after Sakura, leaving the security in the hands of the security cameras.
I peeked outside, and not seeing him in the store, came out and followed him.
As I followed him hurrying towards Sakura, I noticed a loli with a hat smiling at me.
So she was observing all this huh?
Well, I don't have the time to deal with her right now.
It seemed like Sakura got scared, and started running.
And the clerk also started running after her.
I increased my speed to capture him, but Mashima-sensei abruptly came out from the bushes in front of the bushes.
He collided to Mashima-sensei, and fell down.
"Alright. That's enough. You should get prepared to go to jail for stalking minors."
I catched up, and at the same time, Sudo and Chabashira also came out of the bushes.
"Hey, can you look the other way while Sakura destroys his balls in self-defense?"
"No. We will handle it from here. You two go back and calm down that girl. She is scared."
Ugghhhh... I guess that's all the character development Sakura will get today.
Well... the stalker problem is solved now, and I even managed to get a million private points, though it all will go to Sakura.
I should calm down Sakura tonight. Tomorrow, I will have to deal with Sakayanagi's scheme.
She will most probably spread the word that Sakura now has a million points, in our obviously poor and point-less class.
There will certainly be chaos tomorrow.
