Chapter 32
Today, Tomoya Aki planned to buy some things for his home. Although there were shops near his home where he could buy a lot of light novels and games, he still came to the commercial district of Ginza. He had to go to the best places. In the shops in Ginza, there were figurines and collectible games and novels that were not available in small shops. Even if he knew he couldn’t afford these things, he would feel particularly satisfied when he saw his wife smiling at him in the window.
Originally, everything was planned very well. In order to save the cost of the tram, he rode his bike from his home 7 stops away to Ginza alone.
But when he parked his car and was ready to start the day’s pleasure, he also saw the figures of Kasugano Toru and Eriri. Does
Tomoya Aki like Eriri?
The answer is no.
But he can’t let Eriri have a boyfriend.
Because in his game production plan, Eriri is an important and indispensable talent.
If Eriri doesn’t have a boyfriend, he can use the identity of his childhood playmate to invite the girl to join his team and be responsible for the original painting work.
And as long as the plan goes smoothly, he can even use this relationship to get the girl’s superb painting skills for free without paying a penny.
Because they are childhood playmates, Aki Tomoya knows better than anyone in Toyosaki that Eriri is a person who values feelings.
The feelings mentioned here are not necessarily love, but also friendship and family affection. As long as the girl can regard someone as a friend, even if the girl’s interests are violated at certain times, she will not say anything, but will just endure it silently.
Therefore, as long as Eriri does not have a boyfriend, Aki Tomoya believes that his invitation will most likely succeed.
Even if it does not succeed, don’t I still have a killer move?
As long as you put on the ground, anyone can handle it, right? Even if it doesn’t work in private, it can still be in school. In front of so many people, as long as I am shameless enough, Eriri will definitely not be able to resist!
But if the girl has a boyfriend, everything will be different. She can use her boyfriend as a shield, and when she makes an invitation, she can easily find an excuse to refuse. For example, after joining Aki Tomoya’s team, there is no time to maintain the relationship with her boyfriend.
In this way, whether in terms of reason or morality, Tomoya Aki has no advantage.
Even if he does something like the dogeza in school, others will only think that he is a bad boy who continues to harass the girl even though he knows that the girl has a boyfriend.
His reputation in Toyosaki is not very good to begin with. If he cannot gain the moral upper hand, even if he uses his ultimate move, he will definitely return empty-handed.
It can only be said that Tomoya Aki is smarter than anyone else in this matter. With the same plan, he has already thought about how to use it on another person.
Different plans are made for different goals. At this moment, Tomoya Aki feels that he was born to be a planner.
Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions, and making different plans for different people, isn’t this the quality that a planner should have?
……
Eriri’s face turned ugly.
She did not deny that Tomoya Aki was a very important friend of hers for a period of time.
When she was very young, influenced by her mother, Eriri was full of interest in otaku culture.
But in a country like Japan, otakus are at the bottom of the food chain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are insulting people.
At that time, the young girl could not find anyone to communicate with. The people who originally gathered around her because of her appearance left her side one after another after discovering that she was an otaku, and did not forget to laugh at her before leaving.
For those people, how could they not take advantage of someone who was so much better than themselves and turned out to be an otaku?
This is the ugly side of human nature. When you see that someone is better than you, you always try your best to belittle the other person until the other person is worse than you, and then you will be satisfied.
At this time, Tomoya Aki appeared.
This is a child who has been independent since childhood. He never cares about the eyes of people around him and only lives in his own world.
He unscrupulously recommends his favorite works to others and forces others to join the otaku group. When she meets those who don’t agree or are difficult to deal with, she will use her ultimate move and use the dogeza to solve all problems.
Eriri was very happy when she found a like-minded person who could communicate with her about otaku culture. Her family’s affluence allowed her to buy many collector’s edition games and peripherals that Tomoya Aki could never get access to. For a period of time, the two of them were best friends.
But Eriri couldn’t tell the difference because of her age. How could someone as smart as Sayuri Sawamura not be able to see it?
It is said that a person’s character can be seen at the age of three. In fact, a person’s character will not change much when he grows up.
Otherwise, why does China have the old saying:”It is difficult to change a country but difficult to change one’s nature.”
Under Sayuri Sawamura’s obscure hint, Eriri slowly discovered that Tomoya Aki approached her for another purpose.
In addition to being able to get a lot of games that he couldn’t get access to for free, he can also use Eriri’s distinguished status to promote otaku culture
“Even upper-class people like otakus, so are otakus something bad?”Aki Tomoya unscrupulously used Eriri’s name to promote her more crazily. During that time, Eriri’s reputation in school was terrible. If Sayuri Sawamura hadn’t made a prompt decision and chose to transfer, the girl would definitely not have such a personality now.
To a certain extent, this kind of tsundere personality, which obviously wants to die in the heart but refuses to admit it, may be the protective color that Eriri painted on herself after experiencing that incident.
This is the story between Eriri and Aki Tomoya, former childhood friends.
But the title of childhood friend is actually just Aki Tomoya’s unilateral imagination. In Eriri’s eyes, he has long been selfish, and only sees his own bad image.
……
It’s a long story, but from the time Kasugano Toru undid Eriri’s hair to the time Aki Tomoya suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it actually took only a little over a minute.
Kato Megumi has been on the other side of the street corner, watching everything that happened here.
The girl, who originally wanted to retreat, planned to just leave here.
At the same time, she cherished her high school life even more.
Because after graduating from high school, it might be a pipe dream to see that boy again, right?
But when she saw the aggressive Aki Tomoya, the girl’s mind went blank with a buzzing sound.
She thought that this otaku who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was going to do something bad to Kasugano Toru.
Thinking of this, the girl didn’t care about anything.
She didn’t want the original gentle and indifferent image, nor the image of being steady and generous.
She just rushed directly in front of Aki Tomoya, threw away the umbrella in her hand, and put her five fingers together. She stepped forward, lowered her waist, clenched her white and tender hands into fists, and hit Aki Tomoya’s nose heavily.
“”Puff!”
Blood splattered.
