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

Hayasaka Ai must have been trained as the Shinomiya family's exclusive maid since she was a child.

To be honest, Xingjian, who was born in an ordinary family, cannot understand what it feels like to serve others since childhood.

——Well, of course, he couldn’t understand the feelings of Kaguya Shinomiya, who was being served.

While he was sorting out his inner thoughts, Xingjian slowly walked to the door of the student union.

It was at this place last time that I encountered a very strange scene after opening the door.

It was like turning on a switch in some other world. The mature and steady Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly turned into a silly beauty. The beautiful and kind-hearted Fujiwara Chika who knew five languages ​​also seemed to have become much more evil. (In various senses)

This should be what it is - the wrong way of opening it caused a bug in the program.

"Snapped."

The black-haired boy clapped his hands expressionlessly, closed his eyes and prayed softly in his heart.

"I hope nothing weirder pops up this time. I hope nothing weirder pops up this time—"

"Earth Explosion Star?"

However, just as his inner prayer came to an end, a deep male voice coming from close behind him made Xingjian come back to his senses and turn around.

Standing behind him, a boy with medium-length black hair wearing the Shuchiin boys' uniform, who seemed to have also come to the student union office from somewhere else, took off his headphones and looked at Hoshimi, who was standing at the door with his hands clasped together, with his right eye, the only one not covered by his bangs.

Aki Tomoya can't predict the future: Chapter 8 Girlfriend and Gundam, which one will you choose? (Part 3)

Although this young man looks a bit listless and depressed, judging by his exposed facial features, he should be a good-looking and handsome guy.

——Well, that is, if his expression is not so depressed.

"What's going on? It feels like my prayers just now didn't work at all."

Xingjian always thought that his intuition was quite reliable.

"Looking at your uniform, you don't look like a student from our school... What do you want to talk to the president and the others about?"

The young man with medium-length black hair calmly tried to push open the door of the student union office in front of him - but before that, he leaned over the door and listened carefully. After seeming to confirm something strange was going on for a few seconds, the slight nervousness in his eyes dissipated a little.

"I'm Xing Jianqing—just call me Xing Jian."

After Xingjian calmly introduced himself, the black-haired boy looked around as if he was not good at socializing, and finally nodded at him and responded briefly with the three words "Ishigami Yu", which was considered an introduction.

Maybe it's because Hoshimi gives people the impression of being an ordinary high school student with a relatively friendly personality. Ishigami Yu did not feel any rejection or alienation towards this student who was not from the same school - he even developed a little affection for him because he greeted and talked to him without any reservations.

After all, for Ishigami Yu, the only people around him who are kind to him are the members of the student council.

"Speaking of which, Ishigami-san... you leaned against the door and listened for a while before deciding whether to open it. Was that also because..."

Seeing Xingjian seeming to want to say something but hesitant, Ishigami raised his eyebrows as if he suddenly realized something, and the gloomy look in his eyes disappeared.

"Could it be that you are also——"

Ishigami's mind emerged with the strange smile of Vice President Kaguya Shinomiya, which she would occasionally reveal in corners unnoticed by others.

To be honest, for some reason, he always encountered Miss Shinomiya's chilling smile - he had been scared of it for a long time.

"Well…………"

Hoshimi tilted her head, and what flashed through her mind was the image of Kaguya-san being pinned down by Fujiwara Chika in a strange position when she visited the student council before, her face flushed but still laughing like a child.

"Yes. I've seen that expression on Shinomiya-san's face before."

"Wow—I didn't expect we'd be in the same boat!! Shinomiya-senpai's behavior is so different from usual, isn't it?! The thought that the president and the others are still in the dark makes me feel uneasy—"

"Ah, well...women always have two faces."

Although Xingjian's logic didn't quite make sense to why Ishigami said the words "sympathy", he still nodded. In the end, the two people whose thoughts extended in two extremely different directions actually reached an unprecedented consensus on a certain level.

If the relationship progress can be shown by a progress bar, Hoshimi should be able to see that Ishigami Yu's favorability towards her has increased a bit. (Probably)

Ishigami, looking a little nervous with his backpack on his back, slowly pushed open the door of the Student Union. Just as he was about to surreptitiously observe if there was "that woman" in this office, when—

Xingjian, who entered the office behind him, walked into the room calmly and openly, completely destroying his stealth plan.

"Hey! Xing, see you—"

"Excuse me."

Hoshimi ignored Ishigami's cautious movements and swaggered into the room at her usual pace—right in the sight of the black-haired girl brewing tea. Beside her, the blond-haired boy, furiously writing at his desk, looked up and smiled at Hoshimi. Between them, the pink-haired girl, leisurely sorting through documents, also smiled and waved at the visitor.

"Ah, it's Hoshimi-san and Ishigami-san, the rare guests. Please come in."

"Why did you pause before saying my name, Shinomiya-senpai?"

Hoshimi nodded politely in response and walked into the office and sat down on the sofa. Ishigami, who seemed to be very afraid of Kaguya for some reason, swallowed his saliva and then took cautious steps to sit on the same side of the sofa with Hoshimi - he even sat close to him, as if to isolate himself from Kaguya.

Even Hoshimi, who usually has a good temper, couldn't help but ask Ishigami in a low voice when he saw Shinomiya giving them a confused look.

"Well, Ishigami-san. I don't have any prejudice against same-sex relationships... but I still hope you can realize that the distance between us right now can easily be misunderstood."

"Rather than being thought of as gay, I'm more worried about being killed by Shinomiya-san, so it's okay!"

Oh no, could that Sigong who was laughing so silly last time have such a deterrent power?

Look how scared the child is.jpg

Helplessly, Xingjian turned a blind eye to Ishigami's behavior and reached out to drink the black tea handed to him by Shigong.

He planned to sit here for a while before going to look for Hayasaka - she also said that she would stay with her classmates for a while before leaving the teaching building.

"...By the way, I'd like to ask the boys here a question. It's a good thing Hoshimi-san is here too, so he could provide some extra information—ahem, an additional answer. I wonder if any of you would be interested in participating."

With an elegant and proper posture, Shinomiya raised the teacup and took a sip with a smile. Although he was looking at Hoshimi and Ishigami who was leaning against him and trying to avoid Shinomiya's gaze, his eyes seemed to be glancing at the desk intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh? Why is it limited to gender?"

As Secretary Fujiwara echoed with some resentment, Shirogane Miyuki, who had been writing furiously, raised his head slightly - although his writing speed did not slow down, there seemed to be a hint of complexity in his sharp gaze.

——When their eyes met, Xingjian seemed to sense a hint of tension, but it was not so obvious.

They both seemed to be inadvertently testing each other's intentions.

The black-haired boy calmly took a sip of warm black tea, keeping his expression unchanged and watching the situation unfold.

"Well, after all, it's a question only you boys can answer."

Shinomiya showed a perfect and graceful smile, and tilted his head towards Hoshimi and Ishigami, who had a unhappy expression.

"What's your favorite thing, boys?"

"...Are there any restrictions, Shinomiya-senpai?"

"Hmm... maybe what I said wasn't precise enough. Do you guys have a specific thing besides your hobbies that you've always loved? Well, I might not have expressed it clearly, but that's the general idea."

Kaguya was unusually stiff in her response to the topic she had brought up.

Of course, her thoughts were more than just this.

"If I ask the other boys present to give their answers to this question, the president will surely agree with me." Or even if Shirogane Miyuki doesn't fall for it, the answers given by Ishigami and Hoshimi will be enough to serve as a sample for Kaguya's research on "boys' preferences" and to infer what the president might like.

As the saying goes, shoot the horse before shooting the man. Only by understanding a person's preferences can you prescribe the right remedy. Well, no matter what, this was a good plan for Kaguya.

“—I love learning.”

But the serious answer given by Baiyin Yuxing made her a little stunned.

"Eh?"

"—Huh? That's some kind of top student response."

I wrote nearly 8 words today. I estimate that I can write another 4 words later this evening.

In order to get closer to the plot of the beginning of the fucking Midoriya, you know what I mean (dog head)

If you still have tickets tomorrow, I will continue to update the game! !

Aki Tomoya can't predict the future: Chapter 8 Girlfriend and Gundam, which one do you choose? (Part 4)

After Shinomiya asked this question, Ishigami, who was obviously interested in it, also became interested.

"Don't be ridiculous—mecha battles are a man's romance! I grew up surrounded by Gundam and Unit-01."

As an old fan of the anime, Ishigami is like most otakus, usually taciturn - but he becomes extremely excited when talking about things that interest him.

"Hey, what's so good about a robot that looks humanoid but creaks like an arthropod when it moves... Is Ishigami-kun still a child? Shouldn't he be more interested in cute girls at this age?"

Secretary Fujiwara was leaning over his desk with a pout on his lips, glaring at Ishigami, who looked as if it was a matter of course, with a rather resentful look. Kaguya, as if she had expected Fujiwara to bring up a similar topic, smiled with ease and then asked the question that she had been suppressing in her heart and was about to ask.

"Oh, so if you had to choose between Gundam and a girlfriend, Ishigami-kun, as a boy, would choose Gundam, right?"

——First, let's throw out a seemingly reasonable conclusion. If Shirogane Miyuki disagrees with this, he will definitely refute it. Otherwise, he will agree with Ishigami.

From this simple question, I could at least get a rough idea of ​​where I stood in the president's mind. Shinomiya Kaguya was so certain.

"Ah—of course. It's better to say there's no comparison at all."

Ishigami-san gave the affirmation with a gloomy, or rather, unhappy, expression.

"Honestly, I really don't understand why girls nowadays think they are more important than the game Gundam - don't you have any idea how much you are worth? Really, before you try to guess a man's mind, please consider whether you are qualified to do so. Don't you feel tired of being so idle all day long and thinking about nonsense like "He loves me, he doesn't love me, he loves his game more" -"

Ishigami Yu, continuing to output.

"Ahem, um..."

When she heard this, Kaguya's smiling expression froze slightly.

Shirogane on the side put down the pen in his hand, and after seeing Kaguya's expression, his sharp eyes showed a hint of playful confidence.

"As I expected, Shinomiya. I guess you're trying to get something out of me with this question—how does it feel to trip over something you've already tripped over?"

"Hmph, yeah. As expected, women's minds are filled with those extremely vulgar love affairs—for men, mechas are the eternal romance! Right, Xingjian!"

Baiyin turned his gaze confidently to the black-haired boy who was leisurely drinking tea, as if he hoped to use him to kill with a borrowed knife and deliver the final blow to defeat Shinomiya.

"Huh? If I have to choose between Gundam and my girlfriend..."

However, the expression on Hoshimi-san's face when she put down her teacup was so calm that it was a little hard to read.

"That must be the girlfriend-style Gundam."

Everyone: "...?"

"It's not impossible to have a Gundam-style girlfriend."

"……what?"

"It just requires two conditions. One is being able to ride, and the other is being able to fall in love. Wouldn't it be better if we combined those two conditions into one? Hmm, it seems like those two conditions can be combined into one..."

Ishigami: "I knew he was a pervert the moment he opened his mouth!" (Subconsciously)

Looking at Shinomiya, whose cheeks were flushed from the recent sexual education, and Fujiwara, who had already understood the jokes, Ishigami who looked excited, and Shirogane, who had the same shy (?) expression as Shinomiya and the others, Hoshimi raised an eyebrow in confusion.

What? He always thought that the way to fit in with this group of people was to tell dirty jokes all the time. It turned out that this student could be so serious.

Okay, dirty pinch mode, off. [Click] (inside voice)

"Looks like you're quite knowledgeable, Hoshimi-senpai! Honestly, racing and mechas are just a man's romance, aren't they?"

Ishigami-kun seemed to be in much better spirits than before, as if he thought he had found a like-minded person - all otakus in the world are the same, they are timid when communicating with real people, but they become particularly talkative when chatting with people they get along with.

"Oh right, speaking of which! EVA has a new collaboration—a clothing brand that Unit-01 and several of the main characters share."

Similarly, a otaku's social skills will grow at an alarming rate when he meets someone he gets along with particularly well.

After discovering that Hoshimi's phone on the table was also performing a self-discipline task in a certain game, Ishigami happily exchanged game IDs with him and enthusiastically initiated one of the few real-life social invitations.

"Eh... EVA hasn't had a sequel yet."

Hoshimi obediently complied with his requests throughout the whole process. After all, a guy like Ishigami, who looks cold but is actually warm and simple, is not a bad person.

He is just that common 2.5D semi-otaku - not a real 2D otaku who knows all the market conditions in the industry. He just watches the works he likes and learns about the relevant knowledge by the way.

Well, he's the kind of guy who doesn't know everything, nor does he talk endlessly about it and become an expert, but he can still say a few words about this topic.

"Well, EVA, you know. There's never been a movie version, but there's always been collaborations with other IP games or costumes."

"Too."
