Words Are Sharper Than Swords (Oshi No Ko X Male OC)

Video

Akane's suicide attempt made the news. Various opinions about the issues started popping up. Naturally, there were also those who were disgusted. And a new kind of fire started to spread rapidly.

Miyako: You two have brought more attention to the issue but haven't actually made it any better. This isn't how you deal with flaming.

Well, she wasn't wrong. In fact, Akane is now taking a hiatus from the show and no one knows when she's going to return.

Miyako: You always do whatever you want, Aqua. But this is new for you, Ame.

Me: What are you saying? I do whatever I want just like Aqua, but the difference is how we approach the issue we're dealing with.

I said while looking at my laptop.

Aqua: He's right.

Miyako:*sighs* Are you two going to take responsibility for making this issue blow up?

Me: The amount you get is like the amount of you bet in a game of poker. If we fold, then Akane will lose without a fight.

Aqua: You can't win if you don't raise. As long we have even one Ace in our hand, we'll play to win.

Miyako: Reality isn't a game of poker.

Me: You're right. But...

I looked at her while a sad smile.

Me: Life is a gamble.

The Next Day
Filming Set
Ame POV

Mem-Cho: Eh, you guys want pictures or videos of everyone? I don't have that many, you know? Maybe around a hundred.

Me&Aqua: That's plenty, though.

Mem-Cho: What will you guys do with it? I'm sending you the Dropbox link, by the way.

Me: Well, "LoveNow" is edited by a team of professionals, right? That means someone intentionally portrayed Akane as a villain to make it interesting.

Aqua: Even a saint can be portrayed as a demon with some fine editing. That's what they call "staging"

Me: We know how to do video editing. We just need the raw footage.

Mem-Cho: I get. In other words, you guys want to make "LoveNow: From our Persepective"? What put this idea in your head? Did you two came up with yourself!

Me&Aqua: Yep, just us.

Mem-Cho: Wow, it's not a bad plan. If I wanted to explain it in maketing terms, I'd say "a high likelihood of leaving a deep impression due to the large number of active viewers."

Me: Let me simplify that. Since the internet's attention is now on Akane's alone, we'll use this chance to show how Akane is really like off-camera.

Mem-Cho: Well, that's another way to put it around in our situation. We could upload the video Aqu-Tan and Amkun are gonna make to the official media social accounts. We've already secured the channels of distribution. Depending on the quality of the video, we can also expect it to be a huge buzz. When you guys are done, pass me all the data. I'll do the uploading.

Aqua: I believe we can do that ourselves.

Mem-Cho: Aqu-Tan, Amkun, do you guys know what is the best and day of the week to garner the most retweets? Do  you know the perfect tweet length to leave the biggest possible impression?
