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

“…I seem to be able to predict the future.”

"...?"

"And that girl is my future wife."

When he said this, the disapproving smile on Xingjian's face faded a little.

——It’s still broad daylight, why is this guy already talking in his sleep?

……

……

Here's the thing.

During the last few days of spring break, Tomoya Aki set out from home early in the morning as usual to deliver newspapers.

Then, at the bottom of a fateful slope, he met a girl standing on the slope.

A short-haired girl with a beautiful figure, the warm rising sun, a slope covered with cherry blossoms, and a breeze gently caressing their faces - all of this outlines a beautiful scene that seems to exist only in TV dramas.

The only flaw was that a yawning black-haired boy riding a bicycle appeared in the lower right corner of the girl, which made the originally perfect picture in Tomoya Aki's eyes seem a little lame.

Tomoya Aki picked up the hat dropped by the beautiful girl. When he looked up, she was no longer on the slope, and even the figure of Passerby A who was passing by on a bicycle had disappeared.

He was so upset about this that he lost his appetite and tossed and turned every night, unable to fall asleep.

A few days later, something strange happened one night.

That night, when Akitomo fell asleep, he vaguely dreamed of a dream that was both very long and seemed very short.

Because the details of the dream were so vague, he only remembered one thing when he woke up.

In his dream, he finally met the girl he had met on the slope that day. She became a member of his club, and later became his girlfriend, and they even happily married.

The right girl.

That girl must be his soulmate.

From the first time he met her to the time when he had this strange yet happy dream, Aki Tomoya believed it without a doubt.

Then he began to look for clues related to the girl he met that day, and found a face in the photo of his high school class the day before school started. He had originally ignored it, but he focused on it again because it looked familiar.

There was an inconspicuous area in the corner of the class photo, and the face of a black-haired boy looked particularly familiar to him.

Just like that, the passerby A, Hoshimi Haru, who was passing by Aki Tomoya on the slope that day and was destined to meet him, was discovered by Aki Tomoya.

Student A Yi felt that his hard work had paid off and he had finally caught a relevant person. This person might know some clues about the beautiful girl.

But it was obvious that Xingjian, with a helpless expression as if saying "this kid might need some brain treatment", didn't think so.

"Well... there's a difference between wanting to eat peaches and predicting the future. I hope you can tell the difference, Aki-kun."

"Of course I can tell the difference!! I thought it was just a dream at first... but the feeling was so real!"

Perhaps sensing Hoshimi's undisguised distrust, An Yi danced her fingers a little frantically, trying her best to describe the dream with the most accurate words she could think of.

"That's right—it's not a question of whether I miss Taozi or not. She's just that kind of person, very special..."

"Predicting the future is a supernatural phenomenon. They could even call you over and have you taken for experiments."

"I'm not kidding, so Xingjian, stop joking too!!"

Hmm—why did An Yi think he was joking? Perhaps his tone was too gentle.

"Eh...but even if you say so, I really have no idea."

Xingjian shook his head helplessly, and at this time An Yi pointed at him and spoke excitedly.

"Yes, yes, yes—your tone, which sounds emotionless at first glance, really does resemble that girl!"

What the hell.

"The beautiful girl I remember was so gentle that it was easy to ignore her existence - in short, she was just an ordinary, airy pretty girl! That toneless way of speaking and that barely noticeable, transparent presence are exactly like you just now, Haru!"

"To put it simply, it implies that I'm just a nobody."

"Don't you only foresee the vague future?"

"But I still have this impression! Hmm..."

At this point, An Yi pursed her lips and her eyes became a little vague.

"Gentle, sometimes a little grumpy, and seemingly insignificant, but super cute—that's how she feels anyway!"

"........."

Xing Jian raised his eyebrows in interest when he heard this.

According to what An Yi said before, he missed the girl before he could even say a word to her.

Naturally, it would be impossible for him to discern these descriptions of the other person's personality from just one glance when they met that day—unless he was obsessed with fantasy.

In other words, although I am reluctant to admit this fact.

"...Maybe this guy isn't lying."

The new book has just been released and I guess I can now maintain a steady pace of updates every day.

There are so many things to do this summer besides writing, I'm so sorry that I can only focus on writing one book orz

Aki Tomoya cannot predict the future: A new chapter in ordinary life

This happened one day before the story officially begins.

A school afternoon that was no different from any other day.

After school, the black-haired boy sat in a seat in the family restaurant and saw the girl who was a little taller than him at the moment—she had bright golden hair and a pair of clear blue eyes.

"This is Xiao Ai...Qing, you should call her sister."

A middle-aged man, who was also the black-haired boy's father, was eagerly introducing the two to each other, as if he really wanted them to get to know each other better through him.

There is nothing we can do about this.

After the boy's parents divorced, his father started a new family and had a new family - the girl in front of him should be the child of his wife.

The black-haired boy, who was only about ten years old at the time, was a little at a loss in the face of this sudden situation. After all, not everyone can handle it with ease in front of his parents' new family.

He blinked unnaturally, but accidentally met the gaze of the blonde girl sitting opposite him.

In this more or less awkward situation, she just stared at him with a calm gaze that seemed to not cause much of a stir, and remained unmoved from beginning to end.

This is the first meeting between a young man named Hoshimiya Haru and his nominal sister, Hayasaka Ai, arranged by his father.

Logically speaking, something should happen after this, right?

For example, he starts a happy cohabitation life with his non-blood-related sister, and various youth love comedies unfold from then on.

Unfortunately, when the boy's father asked, "Do you want to move in with us?", the black-haired boy thought for a moment and then refused.

"No, even though mom is often not at home, it's okay for me to live alone."

Life is not a galgame where you can fulfill your beautiful wishes by relying on delusion. To be honest, if children from different families live together, the most likely outcome will be embarrassment.

Therefore, there was no development full of real-life flavor after that, and the boy continued to live his life no different from that of ordinary people.

until a certain day.

"I said—Qing!"

We were classmates in the first grade, so the boy with glasses, who had interacted with me a little, found me on the first day of school, gesturing in the air with his hands excitedly.

"Don't get excited when you hear what I'm about to say!"

"Okay, okay, what is it, Aki-san."

The black-haired boy casually agreed absentmindedly, his eyes focused on the comic book in his hand.

"Promise me you won't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I'm a professional, I don't laugh." (Good reading)

"Um... ahem. This is something I just discovered recently."

The boy with glasses coughed lightly in an air of pretentiousness, and then told the black-haired boy something shocking in a very serious and solemn manner.

“…I seem to be able to predict the future.”

"………………?"

The black-haired boy was stunned for a moment, his eyes moving away from his comic book.

At the end of the page where he paused, the protagonist had just said to his friends, "Next is our grand adventure!"

It is impossible for Aki Tomoya to predict the future: Chapter 1: The one who predicts the future is not necessarily the hero (Part 4)

Xingjian clasped his hands in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the boy with glasses who was immersed in his memories, and then replaced his serious expression with a faint smile.

"Let's get back to the topic at the beginning, Amaki-san. Your future girlfriend and I don't know each other."

"Didn't you meet her when you passed that road before?"

"Not impressed."

"Where's her contact information? Maybe she lives on that street, and you accidentally delivered food to her house without knowing it—"

"Let's put aside the premise that I actually delivered food to this lady. If I disclose the customer's address without permission, no restaurant will be willing to let me work there in the future."

Besides, who gave the known condition of "you are working part-time?" Although Xingjian does have a part-time job.

Facing Aki's relentless pursuit, Xingmen simply shrugged helplessly, but soon changed the subject.

"—But as for your claim of foreseeing the future, maybe I know someone who can help you."

"...?"

An Yi pushed his glasses, and a hint of confusion and doubt appeared on his clean and fair face.

.........

.........

Occasionally, really just occasionally——

In the corners of daily life that people are unaware of, some [paranormal phenomena] occur.

It includes but is not limited to dreaming of a certain scene in the future, predicting that a certain event will be realized in the near future, and even establishing a connection with things in the past that is not limited to the normal flow of time.

You can describe it as "weird", or you can summarize it as the rather confusing "adolescence syndrome".

But all in all, this is an extraordinary phenomenon that is difficult to explain with common sense.

Generally speaking, this phenomenon is not exposed to the public, and only a very small number of people can come into contact with it privately.

However, this does not mean that it does not exist.

——So, when Aki said that she [predicted the future], Hoshimi also made some speculations and thoughts.

Maybe this is the [paranormal phenomenon] that happened to An Yi.

"Well, I can't do anything about your situation, but I know someone who can be considered an expert in this area."

Hoshimi led Aki from the corner of the corridor to the stairs on the other side of the road, and then walked up the stairs steadily.

"Eh? Who's that?"

"The head of our school's science department."

Although there is only one person in this science department.

"...So Xingjian, do you believe what I said?"

An Yi followed him in a daze - although he was a little skeptical at first, so it was right to keep a little distance between him and Xingjian.

"At first, it was you who forced me to believe it, Aki-san. Now I'm starting to wonder why I believe you too. It seems that it's not just women who are hard to understand, men's minds are hard to understand too."

The black-haired boy walking in front said this complaint calmly, which made An Yi feel a little embarrassed, and his steps remained steady.

"I'm just impressed that you're much more receptive to this kind of paranormal phenomenon than the average person... After all, if I told others about it, they wouldn't believe it."

“…I’m not surprised.”

Xingjian gave an ambiguous response and then took An Yi to the door of a classroom at the end of the corridor on the third floor.
