Chapter 201: Orphan
Sure enough, in the notifications on the website's main page, a video of Himeno with flowers as the cover appears.
It was posted by the official account.
Everyone had suspected it before: it seems the official B Station account has some sort of deal with the manga world.
Or some hidden deal with Ren.
After all, Edgerunners was directly broadcast on B Station for all ten episodes as soon as it aired, and later Ren also opened an account on B Station and uploaded a video teaching how to skip stones.
After B Station became popular in his previous life, it attracted many ACG professionals, such as mangakas, actors, and voice actors, to open personal official accounts.
But the current B Station is not as good as the one in his previous life.
So Ren is currently the only well-known mangaka who has opened a personal account on B Station. Isn't this enough to prove that he has an unusual relationship with the official B Station account?
Kenji Tanaka directly clicked on the "Deep Down" video on B Station.
Sure enough, the beginning was a pleasant and dense barrage of bullet comments.
"In memory of Senior Himeno, a love that lasts until death!"
"Senior Himeno! I like you!"
"Woo woo woo! Senior Himeno!"
"Old rogue Silverhand! Stop the knife, stop the knife, I'll stab the kid!"
"Easy revenge!"
"First!"
"After finishing the manga, I watched this video right away! Shh! That was fast!"
"One for Senior Himeno!"
...
Everyone also came for the bullet comment interaction. It must be said that Kenji Tanaka felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure seeing the bullet comments, all in memory of Himeno.
In fact, he didn't really like the so-called bullet comments much.
At first, he felt it hindered his viewing of the video. Many places were blocked by the bullet comments, and he couldn't watch them carefully.
But after a while, he suddenly felt that the bullet comments were quite interesting. Especially for some videos, watching the content might not be very interesting, but watching the bullet content is hilarious.
So now he has become a true fragrance fan.
Kenji Tanaka longs to see more of the anime, movies, and series he previously enjoyed on B Station!
He watched it again with the comments, which was undoubtedly a different kind of fun.
But unfortunately, now on B Station you can only watch animated series.
And many animated series are from a few years ago; after all, this world's Republic's copyright law is very strict, and piracy is also under severe crackdown.
Although it won't eradicate piracy, at least if there's a pirated post on a normal website like B Station... just wait for it to be blocked.
Ren believes there's no need to rush B Station now. It won't be too late to cause trouble after it goes public and raises funds.
In his previous life, his uncle took the financing money after the IPO and spread it everywhere.
This highlights a rich and powerful person with money but nowhere to spend it.
Although B Station soon ran out of money because of this, it's in no hurry now, simply seeking to develop its own market.
So let the old series be old; it's not like they can't be watched.
And many people like to watch old series.
No, Kenji Tanaka found some old series that he really liked on B Station.
Then he watched them with the ad barrage, and it was a truly novel experience.
Now, Kenji Tanaka watched "Deep Down" again with the ad barrage, and it turned out to be full of masters.
They all posted bullet comments one by one, analyzing the little-known lyrics.
This is the advantage of the ad barrage: watching with an ad barrage can save a lot of hard-to-understand video content.
After listening to "Deep Down," Kenji Tanaka automatically played the video of the second song, according to the collection below.
The second song is called... "Orphan."
Click to open the video; there is an image that continues to the end.
However, it has been changed to a picture, not a picture taken from the manga, but a painting that Kenji Tanaka saw for the first time.
Aki Hayakawa and Himeno are wearing suits and wedding dresses respectively, holding flowers and lying in the cemetery.
Seeing this painting, Kenji Tanaka couldn't help but feel a little sad again.
But... this can be considered a wish of these manga fans.
When this image came out at the beginning of the video, there was also crying in the raid.
"This is a great painting...! Wow! I'm crying my eyes out now."
"In the face of death, they laugh at their powerlessness with love."
"My eyes are full of tears. Aki Hayakawa only has two years of life left."
"I hope Aki Hayakawa can meet Himeno-senpai again in hell in the future!"
"Did the official draw this? Did Ren draw it himself? What a cruel heart!"
"So good... I'm satisfied after seeing this drawing..."
...
The comments on the video were in an uproar, and then the song played after the accompaniment.
This song is much softer and gentler than "Deep Down."
It doesn't have the heavy and depressing atmosphere of the beginning of "Deep Down."
"My sadness triggers your sadness...
I comfort you with my awkward identity...
At the same time, it's okay to be a heartbroken person...
You and I finally part..."
...
"The heartless person is suitable for the orphan~~ Temporarily overcome the ups and downs...
Not alone in the sea of suffering...
At least we have trusted each other..."
...
"Don't worry about relatives when there's no one...
The two of us temporarily borrow the spark...
This minute is like a companion...
At least we are not alone..."
...
"Until you fall in love with the charming girl
... I erased my place for the time being
... With jealous kindness...
The meaning of the words is that I miss you very much..."
...
"It's hard to remain in your heart...
To be a passing orphan...
Although I know this life makes you happy...
Or maybe it's not me
... I can talk
to myself... I can feel sorry for myself...
You don't need me when you smile~~"
...
Compared to the lyrics of "Deep Down," this song "Orphan" is a bit more direct and clear.
And isn't this what Himeno thinks?
Knowing that Aki Hayakawa likes Makima, she has always been by his side.
This way... they both have broken hearts, so they should accompany and support each other...
And isn't it true that Aki Hayakawa and Himeno in the manga... no matter how close they are, they only borrow each other's spark temporarily, and at this moment, they are like companions?
In the end, Himeno asked for nothing in return, but was willing to give.
Although she knew that Aki Hayakawa liked Makima, it would be difficult for her to remain in his heart, and her happiness did not need her.
Although the song is much softer than "Deep Down," it makes people feel that Himeno is even more miserable.
After listening to this song, Kenji Tanaka felt depressed again.
Sadness and sorrow once again invaded his heart along with the beautiful song and melody, like the incessant tide of the sea.
At that moment, the idea of smoking that he had previously had came back to his mind.
So... he took the water from the house next to him and drank a big gulp!
