Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 7 [Theatrical Boy]

Your medicine bag fell.

　　The other party turned around excitedly, grabbed his hand, and said, "Half an hour ago, a female anchor from 'Fish Teeth' did a live broadcast at Sunset Volcano. Ahhh, I thought it was fake, but the Marshal really showed up!!!"

　　——It turned out to be Xerxes's fans.

　　"live streaming?"

　　"Yes, we all rushed here after hearing the news. Unfortunately, the club was designed to be too hidden. Looking down from the mountainside, we can't see the hot springs at all. We can only see a few cobblestone roads. Sigh..."

　　What's up with this regretful interjection?

　　Nalun sneered: "The empire's careful education is not for you to worship idols."

　　The man was stunned, then slowly calmed down his excited expression: "Not friendly forces?"

　　Nalun: "Why are you obsessed with a flashy, empty shell? How much do you know about Xerxes' true face?"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the people closest to him all turned around and looked at him. One of them, a short freckled man with fiery red hair, narrowed his eyes and looked at Nalun wantonly, saying, "But you don't even have a decent shell?"

　　Nalun: "..."

　　The person who answered at the beginning chimed in: "Brother, before you criticize others, you should first take care of your overgrown hair. No matter what the Marshal looks like, he is much more presentable than Mao Zedong."

　　Nalun the Hairball stroked his stubble and smiled disdainfully: "I am very satisfied with my appearance."

　　The freckled man choked.

　　Nalun stroked his chin and said, "Actually..."

　　Freckled man: "Hmm?"

　　Nalun lowered his voice and said, "I used to be like you, worshipping Xerxes as an idol. I admired him, followed him, and loved him... But after accidentally witnessing his unknown side, I only have contempt and disgust for him."

　　The freckled man immediately showed an excited expression as if he wanted to refute.

　　Nalun held his head and said, "The disillusionment with my idol has dealt me ​​a heavy blow. Just look at how unkempt I am now, and you'll know..."

　　He sighed, looking sad.

　　The freckled man was a little moved.

　　Nalun continued: "I told others about Xerxes's despicable behavior, but no one believed me."

　　Fanboy No. 1 frowned: "We will appeal against the unfounded smear campaign."

　　The freckled man slapped Nalun's hand away and stopped his friend: "Let him talk. Let's hear what ridiculous story this idiot made up."

　　"Idiot" Nalun was silent for a moment, and decided to endure the humiliation for the time being: "The matter of Xerxes has been widely spread these days, I think you have heard about it."

　　The freckled man disagreed: "Of course, do you want to use this as an attack point to accuse the Marshal of moral flaws? Although I am extremely sad about the Marshal's divorce, I have to say that his subsequent series of actions were very responsible."

　　Nalun secretly rolled his eyes and said quickly, "That's an illusion. How could the person not know who he slept with? Xerxes knew it very well, but he just didn't want to be responsible for it. I saw with my own eyes an underage boy crying and begging him not to abandon him, but Xerxes was unmoved and shamelessly sent him away with a huge sum of money."
