“SNS huh…..” (Yuki)

“Yes. I was invited by a friend of mine in college, but I’m not very familiar with it.” (Sanjoji)

I was excited to bring what kind of guidance she would be giving today, but unusually, it was a consultation on a problem of Sanjoji Sensei. As a fellow tea drinker, I would like to help her.

“I’m supposed to be the one to teach my students how to use it, but I’ve never been in contact with it before, so I’m not sure how to use it.” (Sanjoji)

“I see…….” (Yuki)

She is a wonderful teacher who is truly passionate about education. However, there is a generational gap when it comes to SNS, and the SNS that Sanjoji-sensei was invited to join by her friend is probably not for teenagers.

“Then, let’s start together!　I’m a beginner too, so why don’t we just learn how to use it gradually? Well, I’m a shy, lonely guy, so I don’t think anyone will follow me.” (Yuki)

“I don’t know anyone else who has as many friends as you do. ……” (Sanjoji)

“Eh?” (Yuki)

I left student guidance, where a subtle air of being wrapped in foxes prevailed, and returned to the classroom.

“Yukito, you are going to make an account? Then, then I will make one too! Yeey. Now it’s mutual. Hehe. I’ll have to share this with Hiori later.” (Hinagi)

Hinagi, you are an archangel.

“I’ll make one right now too, wait for me, Yuki!” (Shiori)

“I’ve been sitting on it for a while, but maybe I’ll get back into it.” (Miho)

“Kokonoe-chan, are you for real?” (Mineda)

“This is big news, big news!” (???)

When I told them I was going to create a SNS account, all my classmates decided to follow me. Mutual, of course. Some of them even took the trouble to create and follow me even though I didn’t have an account. What a bunch of good guys in this class. ……sniff sniff.

Surprisingly, the one with the most followers in the class was surprisingly Shakudo. Apparently, she has a lot of reptile friends. It is easy to connect with people who have a particular hobby.

“Well, I don’t think I’ll be using it that often.” (Yuki)

“Really?　But why is the first greeting, ‘That’s me, Yukito Kokonoe’?” (Moho)

“I thought it sounded cool.” (Yuki)

“Cool?” (Miho)

At this time, I had unintentionally misunderstood it as a trivial matter.

However, unbeknownst to me, the situation was expanding in an unexpected direction.

Meanwhile, in the other classes

“Have you heard about it, Yuuri?　I heard that your little brother made an SNS account” (???)

“Ha?　What do you mean?” (Yuuri)

“It’s something that’s been talked about.” (???)

“…..It’s true. What’s going on all of a sudden?” (Yuuri)

“I followed him too, but his followers are growing so fast, it’s scary.” (???)

“I can’t let this happen. I have to tell my mom about it right away.……” (Yuuri)

“Is it really that important?” (???)

“Of course it’s important.” (Yuuri)

“What? Yukito Kokonoe has started SNS?” (???)

“Yes, I heard about it a while ago, so I’m sure of it. Besides, you see, he follows his classmates.” (???)

“Well, Kokonoe-san?　I have to tell father about it.” (???)

“We can’t let this slip by, Hiromi. Let’s make our own soon.” (???)

“Eeh, Yukito-kun!?　I’ll have to call Kuon-san!” (Soma)

“Yukito Kokonoe huh?”　I’ll tell my club mates. By the way, how do you use SNS?” (Toshiro)

“Toshiro, you should be a little more interested in……” (???)

Meanwhile.

“Yukito-kun has an account?　Ara, and the mutual is Ryoka-sensei?!　I won’t tolerate any skulking!” (???)

At the university.

“Oh, Yukito-kun!” (Tristy)

“Isn’t that amazing?” (Mio)

In Kansai

“Honho, he is a very interesting man, Yukito-han. I hope to see you again.” (???)

“Kaha! Funny. He’s so funny!　Kazuki!” (???)

“Calm down, Caseke. You’re hopeless!” (???)

In Hokuriku

“Oi, oi, are you serious?　Do you want me to send you some seiko-gani?　It’s too much trouble?” (???)

“I don’t know. Stop it.” (???)

In the land of the north

“Kukuu. I see, I found you, at last!” (???)

Even in the far south.

“The mainland is a long way away.” (???)

“Kokonoe-kun!” (Sanjoji)

“What’s the matter, you in such a hurry?” (Yuki)

What in the world is going on?　The next day, as soon as I arrived at school, Sanjoji-sensei caught me and took me away.

“Have you not seen your account?” (Sanjoji)

“My account?　Come to think of it, we made one together yesterday, what’s wrong with that?”

“Check it out!” (Sanjoji)

“Haa” (Yuki)

I didn’t have anything to post, so I created it but left it as it was…

“What the heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!” (Yuki)

The number of followers had exceeded 4,000. It is still increasing in real time.

“What in the world is going on? What on earth did you do?” (Sanjoji)

“I don’t know. I didn’t do anything in particular…….” (Yuki)

I check the replies that come in.

[Sensei, thank you for your continued support!]

“Uhm……isn’t this Senator Tojo?”(Yuki)

“Is this what you call a rip-off?” (Sanjoji)

It’s an authenticated account with a blue badge. Since Papa Tojo, who has been a member of the Diet for a long time, is sending letters, other members of the Diet are beginning to follow me, thinking that I might possibly be an important person. After all, my account is followed by the Himiyama office, which has hundreds of thousands of followers! (Confused)

And this uninvited law firm?　Who the hell are they?

What’s going on without my knowledge!

“This is the account of the company my mother works for.” (Yuki)

“Sure enough, how can I put it. What’s the deal with your friendship?” (Sanjoji)

In the meantime, the number of followers was reaching 5,000, but even the authenticated accounts with official marks had formed a chaotic following. It was hard to believe that this was the account of a single high school student.

“Ah!　I’m getting sexually explicit DMs!” (Yuki)

“Don’t get lured in, Kokonoe-kun!　That kind of thing is a scam. You can’t even look at them. Give it to me and I’ll delete it.” (Sanjoji)

“Huh?” (Yuki)

The owner of the DM was Himiyama-san? I’m going to save it.

“Haa. But still, compared to you, it kind of makes me lose confidence. More is not necessarily better, and it’s not an account I would make very public.” (Sanjoji)

“Cheer up.” (Yuki)

Sanjoji-sensei is a bit depressed. I have to cheer her up somehow,…….

“Sensei, may I do something?” (Yuki)

“What are you going to do?” (Sanjoji)

“Let’s do this. [This is Sanjoji, my skirt shortens by one millimeter for every like].”

“Hey, what are you posting!?” (Sanjoji)

Like and retweet.

Then, in no time at all, it started to grow.

“Wait a minute!　What should I do with this?　300 likes in such a short time?　Does that mean 30 centimeters?　It’s still growing, but I can’t. I can’t make it any shorter!” (Sanjoji)

“Is that the principle……” (Yuki)

“I’m going to sue him immediately!” (Sanjoji)

Although Sanjoji-sensei followers had suddenly and drastically increased, she deleted her posts and eventually became a locked person who only followed mutually with people she knew. We learned the horror of social networking and became adults again.

“Well, 48 centimeters it is.” (Yuki)

“Promise me you won’t spread it around. Promise me that!” (Sanjoji)

(She’s a really nice person…….)
