Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

"……Task?"

"Your mission is to bring the heroine to me! Originally, I was supposed to find her and communicate with her—Okay, okay, you guys just said too much. According to the future storyline, it's time for me, the hero, to make my debut!"

"........."

Hoshimi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression looking somewhat subtle. Aki leaned in close to his ear and whispered something in a voice that Eriri couldn't hear.

"The future I predicted yesterday includes today's scene—it's already a foregone conclusion. Perhaps the future I predicted will gradually become clearer in my dreams."

"…Then tell me the girl's name."

Hoshimi still had some doubts about Aki's ability to foresee the future, so she threw out a test question.

"Kato Megumi, a transparent girl with little presence. She has a very short bob haircut and speaks in a tone without any emotion, but gives people a very gentle feeling."

An Yi also gave the correct answer with confidence. It seemed that he was telling the truth - after all, it was impossible for him, who was still wondering who Kato was yesterday, to suddenly know her name and personality in one night.

"...You really did foresee the future."

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

"Well... although the subsequent events are still a little unclear, I dreamed clearly about what would happen today."

An Yi pounded his slightly thin chest with confidence. Miss Eriri, who had been staring at the two people whispering behind him, seemed to be very dissatisfied with their little action of concealing the conversation from her, so she pouted her lips slightly and puffed up her cheeks - but she did not lose her patience and interrupt them.

"You are the only one who knows that I can predict the future and understands everything about it. Therefore, you are the only one I can ask for help."

Aki pouted intriguingly and pointed his thumb at Eriri, who had a gloomy expression behind him. Hoshimi also raised her eyebrows because she understood the deeper meaning of his words.

"Alright, alright—now it's my turn to shine! I want the story to unfold as it actually is, so I'm going to pretend this is my first meeting with Xiaohui!"

An Yi pushed his glasses with a sharp look - he was really confident in his future of marrying Kato, and he had already started calling her "Xiaohui".

"...Um, Aki."

"Hmm? What's the matter?!"

The boy with glasses sounded a little excited and hurried. Maybe he wanted to quickly skip the topic with Hoshimi and go to the appointment with Kato.

"Is there anything about me in your future?"

After a moment of silence, Xingjian asked this question with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

Then, An Yi's expression stiffened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the joy and happiness just now disappeared in an instant.

"Ah-well, even if there is, now is not the time to tell you, so I have to keep it a secret! I'll tell you when the time is right!"

He instantly put on a nonchalant expression, patted Xingjian's shoulder to express his gratitude, then ran out of the corner quickly and ran towards Kato who was still waiting there, as if he was afraid that someone would get there first.

Although Xingjian felt a little annoyed by his ambiguous response, he didn't say anything to stop her. He just poked his head out from the corner of the wall a little and watched the subsequent development of the story with a not-too-noticeable gaze.

"Ah—excuse me, you're Kato-san, right? I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

Aki's acting is really good. That expression of surprise and embarrassment looks exactly like the first time she met Kato.

"My name is Tomoya Aki - there may be many things I can't handle in the future, so please bear with me!"

It's just that the tone was a little too enthusiastic. If you didn't know better, you might think it was a shy expression of love between a young couple after they successfully confessed their love to each other.

The short-haired girl was stunned for a moment, but she was not frightened by An Yi's sudden enthusiasm. She just smiled faintly, which was not much different from when she was talking to Xing Jian just now.

"Well, it's okay."

"Well, it's almost noon now. Why don't we go have a meal together before I return your hat? What do you say?"

"Oh, I can do anything."

"Okay, let's go together!"

The two chatted for a while, then left side by side with their backs to Xingjian.

"........."

Xingjian was silent for a while, and just when he was about to walk out from the corner——

"Well--"

Xingjian's collar was suddenly pulled back roughly by someone, causing him to stumble back into the dark corner of the wall.

At this time, the short-haired girl who had walked away with An Yi turned around and looked at the corridor where many students were still chatting.

She seemed to be looking for a certain figure, her amber eyes moving between different people.

"What's the matter? Xiaohui - cough, Kato."

"...No, it's nothing."

She shook her head lightly, turned around and followed An Yi slowly away.

Ren is actually very smart... or is it more appropriate to describe him as cunning?

All in all, biss is right (dog head)

Aki Tomoya can't predict the future: Chapter 5: This passerby is just a light bulb, but he is too foul-mouthed (Part 5)

At this time, a black-haired boy who was pulled to the corner where Kato could not see him had just broken free from the force that was pulling him roughly and was tidying up his clothes.

"...What on earth do you want to do, Sawamura-kun?"

Xingjian tugged at his tie which was a little messy, and for the first time there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes when he looked at Eriri who was standing behind him.

"——I was wondering what you were planning to do!!"

Unexpectedly, the blonde girl with twin ponytails blushed and her reaction was even greater than his.

"It's fine if you flirted with that unremarkable female classmate, but why didn't you stop Ren when he tried to flirt with her too?!"

"Let's skip the part about clarifying 'I wasn't hitting on Kato-san' for now - what does Tomoya hitting on other girls have to do with me, and what does that have to do with you, Sawamura-san?"

The way Hoshimi can hit the pain points as if it's a matter of course is exactly what makes Eriri easily angry and embarrassed.

"So what were you guys whispering about just now? Is there something shameful that you have to hide from me?"

"Well, it's just a little dirty secret that men all talk about."

Remembering what Aki said to Eriri before he left, Hoshimi ignored it and evaded the question, looking away.

“Stop it!! How could they be so excitedly chatting about obscene things in such a low voice in that situation?!”

How could this young lady be so sensitive in such a strange place? Is a woman's sixth sense so accurate?

"I guessed it a long time ago. That guy, Renye, dragged you along to be his wingman, right? That girl is the heroine he met, right? Renye will launch a relentless pursuit next, right?"

Wow, she was so accurate. Hoshimi had originally thought Eriri was just the typical innocent, sweet, and tsundere type, but she hadn't expected her to be quite perceptive when it came to love.

"——Didn't we just reach an agreement? You should be helping me!"

"I didn't say I promised you."

"you--"

There are some reasons that I can't tell Eriri.

"Besides, I promised him not to tell anyone about Aki's ability to predict the future."

Xingjian doesn't have any particularly remarkable advantages, but it would definitely not be a wrong choice to ask him to keep the secret.

If you promise something to someone, you must do it, no matter whether people around you don’t understand you.

Besides, if I tell this to Eriri, this young lady who can be seen at a glance to be extremely fond of Aki might go crazy.

The person she likes has already been decided to be the one she will spend her life with, but she is still foolishly pursuing an unrequited love that will never lead to any result.

"If Tomoya really intends to pursue Kato-san, what are you going to do, Eriri?"

Xingjian was like facing a bad-tempered child. Although the other party's attitude was bad, his gentle expression did not change.

"Since you've already noticed it, wouldn't it be wise to let go as soon as possible?"

Otherwise, you will have to watch the person you like pursue other girls fiercely, and no one can stand it.

"Huh? Judging from your tone, Xingjian, are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity to attack me?"

"…………If my tone of voice caused you to misunderstand, please tell me and I will correct it immediately."

Is there something wrong with this young lady's brain? (Half annoyed)

"Um, excuse me. Sawamura-kun, are you suddenly angry right now, or are you always like this?"

“Huh? Uh, uh…”

Eriri was stunned for a moment when she mistook Jiang Xingjian's pure question for a provocation, then she immediately suppressed her burning anger, looked around, and when she found that no classmates around her noticed her current state, she returned to her irritable nature.

"...I'm born to be so aggressive when I speak. Are you dissatisfied?"

"Um, is this a sequelae from the picture book?"

"No way!! Artists face a bunch of clients who only make ambiguous requests and withdraw their work without reason every day, but they still calmly hand in the finished product - we are all good-tempered!! Very!!"

Oh no, that doesn't sound like someone with a good temper. (Scratching head)

"...Hey, what's up? Now that you know I get angry easily, you want to try to please me?"

Once again mistaking the indifferent calmness on the black-haired boy's face for a deliberate attempt to conceal his panic, Eriri narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smug arc rose at the corner of her mouth.

"Never mind. You know what's best for you. If you want to have a good relationship with me, then say something nice to make me happy."

Oh no, what's going on in this guy's head? Why would he interpret a serious complaint as a subtle compliment?

"……nice words?"

"Ah, well. Whatever. Although I've been praising myself since I was little, I wouldn't mind if you want to add some icing on the cake."

"Eh...how troublesome."

It's already been said to this point, and it seems that if I don't praise her, I will lose face. After all, Eriri's face is full of anticipation of "please praise me, please praise me".

Although she was confused by Eriri's ideas, Hoshimi continued brainstorming calmly.

[As for Eriri, you just need to praise her more] — from a classmate named Tomoya Aki who wishes to remain anonymous

Then, following this line of thought, Hoshimi-kun thought carefully about the most boastful thing about Eriri.

The images of beautiful girl covers of the little yellow notebooks flashed through his mind one by one.

Therefore, a little light was added to Xingjian's calm eyes, and he blurted out his words of praise without thinking.

"——You're so good at being erotic."

"…………"

Miss Eriri was stunned for a long time.

At this time, a girl with long black hair and a headband, who had been called to the office because she had fallen asleep during the opening ceremony, happened to pass by with sleepy eyes. She stopped and looked at the two of them and heard these words clearly.

"Pfft."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Sawamura Eriri who raised her fist silently towards the innocent-looking Hoshimi and chuckled unconcealedly.

It was this smile that completely exposed Eriri's true nature, even though she was pretending to be reserved but was actually so angry and embarrassed that she could hardly hold back.

"You—what are you laughing at, Kasumigaoka Utaha!!"

She threw Hoshimi aside and glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who suddenly woke up from sleepiness, with a flushed face.

If your most embarrassing moment is seen by the person you hate the most, anyone would be completely confused.

"Ah, you're already rushing up to me and admitting you're the one being laughed at before I even say anything? Sawamura Hammer-kun."

"You!!! You woman—I'm going to fight you!!"

Eriri ran angrily to settle the score with Kasumigaoka, but the latter yawned and left the corridor first. The two figures chasing each other disappeared around the corner.

Left there with no sense of existence, Hoshimi-san leaned against the wall, blinked, and tilted her head.

Hey, I just praised Ying Lili so much, but she is still unhappy?
