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

"You don't want me to interfere with Eriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai's thoughts, fearing that I would gradually turn their unwavering love for you into doubt. You also don't want me to get close to Kato, because she is your destined heroine—"

"Stop talking... wu..."

"You're worried that I'll ruin your future, since even though you're already dating Kato, you're still having an unclear relationship with two other girls—isn't that right?!"

"Stop talking like that!!!"

The quarrel between the two inevitably attracted the attention of many people around, and some onlookers who did not know the truth came to watch.

Hoshimi looked at Eriri who was running farther and farther away and even staggering, then looked at Kato who was particularly embarrassed being sandwiched between them, and tried to calm down and control his emotions.

"...Why don't we settle these accounts together when everyone is here? What do you think, Amami-kun?"

Hoshimi's tone had become unfamiliar, implying that he wanted to find Eriri who had run away and explain everything that had not been made clear before to her face to face.

Aki Tomoya cannot predict the future: The only answer in the final chapter (Part 4)

"...If you want to go, go by yourself."

An Yi lowered his head, grabbed the hem of his shirt with his hands, and bit his lower lip tightly - his eyes could not be seen under the reflective lenses.

"I...I have to go somewhere else later."

According to the future he foresaw, he had to follow this process.

"Isn't Eriri your childhood sweetheart? Haven't you been friends since you were little? Are you going to pretend you didn't see what she did just now?"

"……what is the relationship."

An Yi turned her head away and spoke a brief sentence in a low and hoarse voice.

"... Anyway, that guy will come back to me with a sad face in the end."

He didn't know what he was looking at.

"It's no big deal."

"—"

Xingjian stood there for a while, and after a long time he took a few steps back.

When he heard An Yi say this, some strong emotions appeared on his face for the first time.

That's anger.

Then, even Kato Megumi, who had been standing aside, didn't notice that the black-haired boy who had just been standing on her left suddenly rushed forward.

With one punch, he knocked the defenseless Aki Tomoya to the ground and knocked the glasses off his face.

“Puff—woo!”

And after staggering to the ground, Akitomo felt the burning pain on his face and the taste of blood coming out of his mouth. He struggled to support his upper body from the cold place and looked at Hoshimi with an expression of disbelief.

“…Qing, you hit me?! My father has never hit me in my life!!”

The black-haired boy did not answer this question, but took another step forward and lifted up his collar - just like that, he lifted up An Yi's entire upper body.

"Not only that, I'm going to disfigure you so badly that your mother won't even recognize you."

Unprecedented disgust and anger rose in the black-haired boy's eyes.

This was the second time since junior high school that he had assaulted his former "friend".

He raised his fist again and hit An Yi in the face again. An Yi, who was a little dazed after being beaten, tried desperately to push Xingjian away from him, but he had no strength to fight back.

"Why—why did you hit me for Eriri?!"

He could only roar and shout out these words in a panic.

"She is—she is obviously my childhood sweetheart!! What qualifications do you have?!"

"........."

Having said that, Xingjian's fist, which was originally raised again, stopped in the air.

"...So that's just the kind of person you are, Aki Tomoya."

Does this person have this kind of attitude of not cherishing everyone around him?

When he said this, his tone was no longer as gentle and calm as usual - instead it was sharp and awkward, which made An Yi's whole body tremble subconsciously.

A person who is always so amiable becomes like a completely different person when he gets angry.

Hui, who had been silent since a while ago, held her breath and looked back and forth at the two people's emotions with a hidden gaze. In this situation, she wisely chose not to express any opinions.

Xing Jian raised his hand unable to bear it any longer. Just when he was about to continue to punch An Yi's already swollen face,

Bang! !

A crisp sound made Xingjian stop what he was doing and look to the side.

Eriri, who was running in a panic, stumbled and fell onto a nearby billboard while running down the escalator. She fell to the ground and only stood up after a few seconds before continuing to run out of the mall.

The proud Eriri actually ran away in such a panic.

With an increasingly irritated expression, Hoshimi looked at Eriri who was getting farther and farther away, then looked at Aki who was in front of her with her hands covering her head tightly to protect her face, her frown never loosening.

"Tsk—one or two of them are so troublesome."

"...I was blinded by lard and actually thought you considered me a friend."

It's another disgusting two-choice multiple-choice question.

"Don't think that's all, Aki. This is just an appetizer."

In the end, he gave up the option of fighting with Aki in front of Kato again, said this with a cold expression, and then rushed to the escalator without looking back - to chase after Eriri who was fleeing in a panic from the first floor.

"…………"

An Yi struggled to get up from the ground in a panic. Although he was a little unsteady and almost fell to the ground several times, Kato, who had been watching silently beside him, just looked at him without any intention of going forward to help him - there was no embarrassment on her face.

"I'm sorry, Kato. I have something to do next, so I'll leave first-hiss."

Finally, An Yi finally cheered up and forced a calm smile on his face - even though it was just a small movement, it pulled his painful muscles and made him grimace.

He just wants to escape from this place now.

"Ah, um... okay."

Kato nodded very understandingly, as if she was not the one who was about to be left aside on the day of the date.

An Yi walked away with a staggering and stiff step. Kato stood there, relaxing his tense shoulders as if he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as she looked around—

She noticed a bright golden figure following her down the escalator to the first floor.

It seemed that he was following Xingjian who had just run away.

"...?"

The short-haired girl tilted her head slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her seemingly confused eyes.

.........

.........

When Xingjian ran out of the mall, he was surprised to see the sky covered with dark clouds and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was a sunny and beautiful summer day in the morning, but in the afternoon it was already gloomy with rumbling thunder and impending rainstorm. Many pedestrians on the street were already jogging to hide under buildings to avoid the rain.

Thanks to this, the figure of the girl with golden twintails running recklessly in the center of the square was particularly conspicuous.

“…………Tsk.”

This isn't something I should be doing myself.

Xingjian could have simply pretended to ignore the conflict and walked away.

But when he thought of the surprised expression on Eriri's face when she looked at him just now, an inexplicable feeling of irritation would overtake his heart again.

What? That look that seemed like she was betrayed by him.

Did you ever make a similar expression when you were taken advantage of by your "friends" from junior high school?

It was Eriri who gave him the cold shoulder, ordered him around in a bossy manner, and angrily called him a sinister weirdo.

But it was Eriri who took care of him day and night during his early childhood, who lowered her head and apologized quietly after realizing that she had said something too irritating, and who said to him with a smile, "You are quite an interesting person."

"...Don't let the background light bulb do this kind of thing."

Although I said this, but.

Hoshimi finally took a step forward and chased after Eriri, who was running away without knowing where to go.

At least - at least explain it clearly first.

He never betrayed anyone, even though he had been betrayed before.

A few fine raindrops fell from the sky, but within a few seconds, they turned into a torrential downpour. Simultaneously, muffled thunder began to rumble from the gloomy sky. Many hurried passersby muttered curses at the fickle weather while searching for shelter on the narrow streets.

Eriri seemed to be unaware of all this. She ran around like a headless fly, and finally turned straight into an alley next to a main road.

"Tsk—I'm going to ask you to wash my clothes when we get back!"

Trying to endure the discomfort of his clothes being soaked and sticking to his skin, Hoshimi turned a corner and ran into the alley shortly after Eriri had just entered.

Rumble, rumble—!

The sound of thunder rang out again. In the heavy rain, Xingjian, who could only squint his eyes slightly, did not see the familiar figure in the alley.

The route of this alley was clearly just a straight line leading to another intersection, but for some reason he didn't see Eriri in the rain.

Just as Xingjian slowed down his pace and looked around carefully——

His eyes were focused on a conspicuous beret standing beside the wet and bumpy path.

Next to it was a more familiar thing, a suspender skirt belonging to a blonde girl - it had fallen to the ground for some reason, and next to it were Eriri's canvas shoes and sports shorts.

"...Did that guy go crazy and streak naked to do some performance art?"

And there was a strange bulge in the middle of the pile of clothes.

"...?"

Feeling increasingly strange, Xingjian squatted down. Just as he hesitantly reached out his hand to touch the pile of clothes—

A small head with golden hair appeared from the collar of the suspender skirt.

That's a little girl's little head.

When she looked up, her familiar blue eyes met Hoshimi's amber pupils.

"—"

Xingjian's expression froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Hayasaka, who had been following him with an umbrella, also appeared at the entrance of the alley. She also witnessed this visually shocking scene, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

In the heavy rain, the black-haired boy, who had been silent for a while, finally sat down on the flooded ground.

“…What’s going on here?”

A rather powerless and helpless sigh emanated from his throat.

The sudden downpour showed no sign of stopping.

I missed an update in the middle, orz, everyone who has read this far, remember to refresh!

Aki Tomoya couldn't have predicted the future: The gears of fate began to turn at the end

At this time, in another city.

"Ah, it started raining suddenly."

A girl with long black hair and a headband was sitting in a cafe with her editor-in-chief. They were both looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the heavy rain washing over the entire city.

"........."

The clean streets were reflected in Kasumigaoka Utaha's wine-red eyes, and a trace of trance flashed across her eyes at some point.

"Xiao Shi, I always feel like you seem to be a little worried lately."

Sitting across from her, Machida Sonoko had a worried look on her face, seemingly concerned about the mental state of the young author she was responsible for.

"So many times I'd go blank in the middle of a conversation... What happened?"
