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

"Anyway—I still need some time to think about this matter."

Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a long sigh, picked up the book beside the bench and opened it again.

"Since you're planning to do something big, why don't you ask Sawamura-kun for his opinion? And there's one more important point—you're interrupting me while I'm reading."

"No matter what - please, senior, please think this over carefully! Please!!"

Before being chased away, An Yi bowed to her sincerely and walked towards the door leading downstairs. At this time, Xing Jian, who was leaning on the railing, straightened his back lazily and followed him out.

As he approached Shiyu who was sitting on the bench, he nodded gently to her who was reading.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, please keep up the good work on the novel."

"—"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned.

But when she looked up, Hoshimi, who was following behind Aki, had already closed the door to the rooftop.

"........."

Silence returned to the rooftop again, but an indescribable wonderful feeling suddenly rose in Shiyu's heart.

what happened.

"…Did I ever tell you that I'm Kasumi Shiko?"

.........

.........

The hero's journey to defeat the demon king is a long and arduous process.

For Tomoya Aki, making a beautiful girl text-based love game that everyone likes is no different from realizing a gorgeous adventure.

What's more, in the future he predicted, he had already realized his dream, which made him feel more confident.

This made him feel that his ideals had been affirmed.

——Well, let’s get back to the topic.

What is an essential and important part in an adventurous journey?

That's right, gather your companions.

"...Why did you call me to a place like this?"

In the teaching building that has gradually become deserted, at the corner of the empty corridor.

During this period of time, most of the students who had checked their class placement had already left, and everyone was preparing for the formal opening ceremony the next day.

However, for Tomoya Aki, this is a great opportunity to find a girl and have a private conversation with her.

"Eriri—please, listen carefully to me this time!"

An Yi clasped his hands together, bent down, and faced the girl standing in front of him with great sincerity.

Standing in front of him was a blonde girl with bright twintails—a petite figure but a pair of well-proportioned legs.

Her face was impeccable, with delicate features and a translucent complexion. While her face held a hint of doll-like childishness and innocence, her vibrant blue eyes were so captivating that it was hard to look away.

She is Eriri Sawamura - the "beautiful girl from Toyotaki", the undisputed ace of the school's art department.

Of course, she also seems to have some unknown identity.

"...Humph, there's never been a time when I didn't listen to you carefully."

Eriri Sawamura curled her lips slightly, leaned against the wall with a slightly red face, and looked at Aki with an expression that pretended to be indifferent but was actually secretly a little excited.

"But could you explain a little bit about that lightbulb over there?"

"Well."

A black-haired boy standing at the classroom door some distance away from the two of them raised his head - he was originally staring blankly at the playground outside the window.

"Ah, well—that guy is Hoshimi Haru. Eriri, you can just pretend he doesn't exist. Hoshimi's presence isn't that high anyway, hahahaha—"

Perhaps noticing that Eriri was a little irritable, Aki quickly followed her lead.

Xing Jian on the side curled her lips and said nothing. After realizing that she had no room to speak, she turned her head and continued to stare out the window in a daze.

"Getting back to the point, Eriri, I have something very important to tell you!!"

Suddenly, An Yi took a deep breath, and his expression was extremely determined, as if he had made up his mind.

Eriri's face turned red instantly, as if she realized something.

"Wait, idiot! There are other people here..."

"No, I must convey it to you clearly!"

"Ugh—Renya, you idiot!"

"Even if you call me an idiot, I'll accept it—that's right, Eriri. I'm not asking you—no, begging you—I'm asking you to join my club!!"

"Wait, huh? So you're not going to sue—huh?"

Miss Eriri's expression changed from panic at first to a flushed face, and finally to a frozen expression.

"Eriri, you are Kashiwagi Eri-sensei, a person with great influence in the industry. I want to borrow your help!! Please!!"

An Yi, who was breathing heavily, used his unique secret again and again - a 90-degree bow and an extremely sincere speech.

"I want to make a bishoujo game that's popular with everyone—and for that, Eriri, your power is indispensable!!"

To be honest, Xingjian, who was standing by and watching the whole thing, could almost recite his words.

"Ugh—Ryouya, you really are a complete idiot!!"

“Eh, eh?! Uwaa ...

You don't need to look to know, the picture comes out immediately.

"It's really a typical youth romantic comedy."

Classmate Xingjian, who was facing the two of them sideways, was eating melon and sighing sincerely in his heart.

"Wait, the name Kashiwagi Eri..."

"...Huh, so after all, you called me here just to join your club? And to play some bishoujo games together?"

Miss Eriri held her forehead, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Then she reached out to Aki.

"I'm sorry, it's impossible. There's no hope. I advise you to give up this idea."

"Persuade the Fourth Company to withdraw???"

Upon hearing this, Xingjian, who was leaning against the window, revealed a slightly pleased smile - but he quickly covered it up with a light cough.

"Ryouya, are you an idiot? There's a limit to your wildest dreams. Do you think making a game can just be done by talking about it for a day or two?"

Eriri was very blunt in her criticism, with her fangs faintly visible at the corners of her mouth.

"If you really want to dream, go home and lie in bed in a few hours. Daydreaming is the hardest thing to do."

"So, why don't you all believe in my abilities?!"

After suffering a series of denials and blows today, Aki Tomoya was already a little crazy - he held his head and was about to make a wryyyyyy sound.

Although I don't know how the treasure chests are priced, I will count them as gold treasure chests and add 8 more chapters for each treasure chest (funny)

In this way, I expect to be able to update about 1 to 2 words on the day of the release. It’s better to take action than to be moved (dog head)

"……you?"

Miss Eriri accurately caught the key words in his words and her expression suddenly changed.

"Who else have you told this to besides that lightbulb over there?"

Xingjian sighed when he was called out again. He was too lazy to speak, but he was still often called out.

"——Are you going to ask that Kasumigaoka Utaha for help?"

Eriri narrowed her eyes slightly and accurately guessed what had happened before - she didn't know why she had such a unique intuition about this kind of thing.

“Well, well…”

And An Yi's gradually embarrassed expression also indirectly proved that the answer was almost correct.

"You actually grovelled and begged for mercy from that woman... I really misjudged you, Renye!"

"It can't be helped... I need Shiwa-senpai's help too. Just like I need your help, Eriri..."

"you--"

"Eri, please, it's okay if you don't agree to me right away today. Just think about it carefully and then give me an answer, okay?"

Aki clasped his hands together sincerely and bowed to her, and when Eriri was about to say something, he straightened his back again.

"Ah—come to think of it, I haven't even checked which class I was assigned to yet. We'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards the stairs - anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't want to be rejected by Eriri immediately.

"Hey, Renye——"

Eriri, who had planned to refuse immediately, escaped before she could even say anything. She could only stand there gritting her teeth and stamping her feet in anger.

"That idiot...!! He always just runs away like this—"

However, when Eriri's face was about to turn red like an apple due to anger, she casually glanced to the side.

Classmate Xingjian was still standing in the same place, leaning against the windowsill, blinking and looking at her innocently.

When their eyes met, the air froze for a moment.

"That Amaki guy...why didn't he tell me in advance if he wanted to retreat?"

He had to face this young lady alone.

Hoshimi has always had a vague feeling that the graceful and elegant Sawamura Eriri that she usually sees at school is not the real Eriri.

Although her words and actions were as decent and dignified as a real lady when she was with her classmates, there was always a strange sense of incongruity.

This sense of incongruity was completely exposed in her interaction with Aki just now.

That was the elegance and dignity of a lady from a noble family that she usually pretended to be.

“…Hey, Transparent Lightbulb. What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Were you also recruited to join the club by that Tomoya guy?”

Eriri started the conversation with some rather impolite words, but her tone and expression were unfriendly from beginning to end.

"So the so-called young lady is just a disguise..."

"Well, that's true."

Xingjian gave a brief response, but he was not like other students in the school who got so excited that their tongues became tied and they couldn't speak when they saw the beautiful girl in front of them.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, as if he was bargaining with a vegetable seller in the market, Miss Eriri frowned and tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.

"I just saw you on the notice board—you didn't even say hello to me even though I was standing right in front of you."

Eriri pursed her lips, and there seemed to be a hint of provocation in the curve of her smile.

Ah, yes. Speaking of which, these rich young ladies probably all have some indescribable strange thoughts.

For example, "I'm so beautiful, but you're so oblivious to my appearance. Man, you've successfully attracted my attention."

Why is he such a domineering CEO? It feels like that.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Xingjian heaved a sigh of relief and responded with calm words in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"It seems like there's no school rule that says I have to greet Sawamura-san warmly when I see him."

"you--"
