The End of Era

After deciding to confront the culprit, Shizuru and Hino were prepared for anything to happen. No room for mistakes on their part. Every strategy had to be planned, and the culprit had to be convinced of the necessity to reveal the truth. Hino and Shizuru were determined to get to the bottom of this once and for all, but they faced many obstacles on their way. In order for their plan to go smoothly and achieve justice, they had to think outside the box and come up with unique ideas.

As the day they have been waiting for finally arrives, Shizuru and Hino are prepared. All their hard work and sleepless nights have come to an end as justice and peace are within reach. Shizuru is clad in a dark academia attire consisting of a dark-colored coat and pants. Hino, on the other hand, is dressed more casually, sporting a simple shirt in a relaxed fashion. Prepared to take on the challenge ahead, they are determined to see it through come what may. This will not be easy, but they are prepared to do whatever it takes in the name of justice for the idols and their fans.

Hino stood outside the conference room, observing the spacious, modern-looking hall. It was decorated in a minimalist style, with clean and elegant lines. The floors were made of hard, polished stone, contrasting with the soft materials of the furniture. The walls were painted in a calming shade of blue, accentuating the calming atmosphere of the room. The light came through large windows, highlighting the simplicity of the design. As he took in this peaceful vista, Hino felt a sense of anticipation and excitement, knowing that this would be a day that could change the fate of the idols and their company forever.

Hino took a moment to observe the conference room. It was a large, spacious hall, with modern decor and a clean, minimalist design. There were a plethora of idols, the majority being young girls wearing elegant, stylish outfits. As the production staff worked to set up their cameras, Shizuru was assigned to report and Hino was the one in charge of talking into the microphone, alongside the idols.

The conference room had the necessary features necessary to host a large number of people, and Hino knew that it would be able to fit all of the idols and the production staff easily.

As Marie walked into Shizuru's office, she could see that the place was bustling with activity and preparation for Shizuru's surprise party.

There were bags of decorations and balloons spread on the table, along with catering services setting up food and drinks for the party. The office seemed busy, but she could already see the love and effort that had been put into planning this surprise for Shizuru. Marie knew that this would be a special day for Shizuru, and she felt excited to be a part of it.

As time flies by, they continue to wait for Shizuru to arrive, but there is no sign of her anywhere. Marie is starting to stress out and continues to call Shizuru, but receives no response. Everyone is growing hungry and impatient, with Makkoto even sneaking a bite of food here and there. The mood in the office starts to shift, with many beginning to worry about Shizuru's whereabouts. Marie knows that they must think positively and continue preparing for Shizuru's surprise, but with every passing minute, the stress and urgency in the office only increases.

Their producer and manager soon enters the office, telling them to start eating, even if Shizuru wasn't present. However, Marie refuses to give in, arguing that they must wait for Shizuru to arrive, as it is her surprise party.

The conversation between them grows heated, with both of them beginning to feel frustrated with the situation. The tension in the office continues to rise, with many feeling anxious and impatient. With every passing minute, there is still no sign of Shizuru, and the anticipation and worry only continues to grow.

As Makkoto stares at Marie, he feels a strong sense of impending danger. "Oh no! She knows something!" He rushes to open up the Tv to find Shizuru's report and find out about the conference. Makkoto then watches as the producer of the company storms out of the room, clearly annoyed with Shizuru for discovering their illegal plans.

As the camera focuses on Shizuru, standing among the idols, it slowly begins to zoom in. Shizuru starts her monologue, declaring, "Good day, everyone! Today, you will witness a groundbreaking revelation concerning the deep fake issue involving the idols present. This deep fake menace is a grave crime against both fans and their idols and is something that must be stopped immediately." The camera then zooms in towards Hino, who is standing before the microphone, continuing his speech with passion and determination.

As the camera slowly zooms out, the scene becomes even more intense. The idols are now in front of Hino, facing a large crowd of people and the camera flashes. Some of the idols are visibly crying and wiping their tears away, while others remain strong and determined. The severity of the situation becomes even more apparent as the scene unfolds, highlighting the importance of bringing justice to the idols and their fans.

Hino stands before the microphone, passionately addressing the audience of fans and media.

"For far too long, the idols and their fans have been victims of cruel manipulation. This deep fake issue is a crime against the very essence of the fandom that so many people have come to love and support. It is time to take a stand and put an end to this injustice. As the idols and their fans, we must unite and work together to bring justice to the idols and their true fans."

Hino's speech sparks a strong reaction from the audience, with the fans becoming triggered and angry.

Hino continues, addressing the audience of fans and media, saying:

"To all the otakus out there who have developed one-sided relationships with their favorite idols, it is time to stop this unhealthy otaku culture. These idols are real people with emotional needs, desires, and limitations, and we as fans must respect them as individuals. Obsessing over their private lives, editing and exploiting them for our own entertainment is full of bulls*** and must end. Instead, let us embrace the values of respect and mutual understanding in all our interactions with the idols that we admire so much."

As the manager and director in Shizuru's office watch the news of Hino's speech, they are filled with anger and frustration towards Shizuru. They realize now that Hino's speech exposed everyone, including Shizuru, and that her absence from the surprise party was due to a much deeper reason.

The true purpose of the party was no longer a surprise, and it was to make fun of Shizuru's delusional behavior. The manager and director knew that Shizuru would be furious once she returned and they had to prepare themselves for the worst.

As the camera returns to Shizuru on the microphone, she takes a deep breath and begins her final speech.

"This is Shizuru Saito, resigning as an ABC Japan reporter. I've dedicated my life to journalism, but my actions have caused me to lose the trust of so many people. I am truly sorry for the pain and disappointment I have caused to my viewers, colleagues, and the public."

Shizuru's speech shocks the whole of Japan and her office as well, as they were not expecting her to resign from her position as a reporter.

her error, and took the initiative to take responsibility for her actions. She was met with a mixed reaction from the public but her courage and honesty were highly appreciated by many who believed that her actions were done out of love for the idols and their fans.

As Shizuru stepped down from her position, she also vowed to continue fighting for the rights of the idols and their fans to receive the respect and treatment they deserve.
