The first day of the Golden Week holiday

"Well, well, Yasui-san, I've already gone to Hokkaido, well, so I'm sorry, you're okay alone, right? That's good, come on! ”

"Hey, Lunya, oh, you said Kato went to Hokkaido? I know, her family planned a family trip a year ago, don't you know? Nonsense, of course I'm more familiar with Kato than you! What, let me help you go to your house to write, I'm sorry, our family is going out to play too, my parents have time for another holiday, and it's also a rare day of family reunion for me. Eh, come back to help you before the end of Golden Week, this, I'll try my best, it's okay, I believe you oh haha! ”

After Kazuya Kato responded to the call that Jean Lun also felt that his holiday was about to be completely over, the first official meeting of all Blessingsoftware employees except for the president began. Members: Kazuya Aragaki, Megumi Kato, Sawamura Spencer, Eiri Riri, Kasumigaoka Shiha

"What Blessingsoftware, I didn't say I wanted to join? Treating me as a member of a community that doesn't even know what to do, do you think I'm here to help the poor for free? At the beginning of the meeting, it was naturally a disgruntled complaint from a certain tsundere with a double ponytail.

"Oh, hey, since you don't want to, then don't participate, of course, who doesn't know that a certain blonde dog will not miss all opportunities to wag its tail for the favor of its owner!" In response to her, it was naturally a black belly, a poisonous tongue, and a long straight harsh words.

"Arnold, don't quarrel with the two of you, please the convener of our meeting, this, Kato, Kato explain the situation!" As always, Kazumi is also doing the work of that useless peacemaker, and Megumi Kato is the best candidate to mediate the conflict between the two, but at this time, Kato seems to think that the quarrel between the two is not enough to solve it by himself, and he is playing with his mobile phone next to him.

"That Kato, it's good that you asked everyone to come this time, so can you bring up some motivation." Kazuya looked at the girl who was so calm that it was mad and smashed her mouth.

"Eh, but Aragaki started to host from the beginning, and I think Aragaki probably understood what I meant, so I didn't speak!" Kato tilted his head and put on a cute expression that looked puzzled.

"This, it's definitely a foul!" Looking at Kato's contrast and cuteness that was different from the past, Kazuya screamed and fell to the ground.

"Well, since Aragaki-san's stop talking, then I'll talk about it!" Looking at Kazuya, who was lying on the ground, Kato provoked the conversation, "Sawamura-san, Kasumigaoka-san, please teach me-"

With the surprised expressions of the other three, Kato said calmly:

"Please teach me how to be charming!"

"What?" Including Kazuya, who jumped up from the ground, the three of them made the same sound.

"Kato, please tell me that you are Kato, not someone else wearing a Kato mask." Shaking Kato's shoulder vigorously, Kazuya looked at her with an expression of looking at a monster.

"Kato-san, although we don't know each other very well, your request seems too abrupt, right?"

"yes, I'm very busy, helping others become charming or something, how can I have that time?"

Seeing that the three of them reacted in unison, Kato blinked and continued, "Oh, I mean make me the heartwarming heroine of Yasui-san's game!" ”

"Well, Kato, aren't you supposed to be the most innocent person in this project, why do you seem to be so motivated at this time?"

"Kato-san, I remember we didn't promise to help Taki-kun with that project, did we?"

"That's right, Kazuya and Lunya's project has not achieved any results so far, so let it remain stillborn!"

For the other three, Megumi Kato took the initiative to mention this matter, which made them smell a hint of unusualness, although as a member of the department and the heroine of the plan, Kato participated in club activities every time, but except for easing the atmosphere when others quarreled, it did not play any role in the game itself, and of course, no one expected her to play a role.

"Well,But ah,Aragaki and An Yi are working hard.,In order to make me the heroine in their minds,Aragaki-san accompanied me to visit the shopping mall for six days a day.,And pulled me to play galgame all night.,An Yi-san's side,Although I don't know.,But it's definitely thinking hard about the type of plan!"

Kato's words were sincere, but the focus of the two people listening to her was subtly off.

"Well, Kazuya-kun, when did you share a room with Kato-san and play a game of knocking down girls?"

"You guy, you can explain when you go to the shopping mall, take the girls home from school and play games, or one night, or galgame, it's just, it's shameless!"

"So, you two, that's not the point!" When the two deviated from the center of gravity, Kazuya, who was innocently shot, burst into tears.

"Well, so, Kato-san, you were so moved by Kazuya-kun and Taki-kun's efforts that you wanted to do something for them, so you wanted to turn yourself into an image that was more in line with the heroine of galgame, am I right about that?" Turning back from the farce, Shi Yu took the lead in grasping the core of the topic.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"But does that fit your style? Haven't you always been happy with the passerby role? Eiriri's suspicious gaze swept over Kato's body.

"Actually, I had a lot of fun with everyone, and I want to stay a little longer on such days!" Suddenly, Kato let out such a sigh, and her unchanged face also revealed a little soft brightness.

"With everyone?" Kazuya secretly chewed on this sentence and fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, the other two women also silently started to stay.

The first to break the silence was Ying Lili, who glanced at Kazuya a little from the corner of her eye: "Okay, then I'll help you, but I can say okay, if I help you, I can't let the two stupid people of Lun and Kazuya open up and come up with a good plan, then I don't care, you guys, go find a painter elsewhere!" ”

"Well, I agree, I'm not sure about Taki-kun's level, but Kazuya-kun, I'm counting on you to surprise me. Kato-san, although the reason is very vulgar, it seems to have convinced me! Shiyu also stood up, stretched, and responded with a smile.

"This, Kato? Are you sure? Kazuya looked tentatively at Kato, still surprised by the speed of Megumi Kato's turn.

"Well, sure, Aragaki-san!" Looking at Kato's wide-eyed staring at him, it was only at this time that Kazuya realized that Megumi Kato was serious about this suggestion. "Okay, let's get started!"

The second day of the Golden Week holiday

"So, you mean, you're going to play the image of the perfect heroine in Lunya's heart, and not really be that person?" Looking at Kato, who seemed to take this matter for granted, Kazuya had to roll his eyes.

"Yes, because isn't our purpose just to let An Yi find some inspiration? So, of course, the fastest way is acting! ”

"Ah, that's not the point, what you said to Ying Lili and Shiyu Senpai at the beginning was to make you more charming, right? Why did you change your mind again now? ”

"Eh, is that so? How do I remember what I've always said is to make me play more like a perfect heroine? ”

"Don't think that if you forcibly add a natural character at this time, I will be fooled by this!"

Just as Kazuya was indignant that he was deceived by Kato's feelings, Ying Lili's impatient words interjected: "Okay, Kazuya, if you don't match clothes, just stay on the other side, I have to help Kato choose clothes that can make people cute at a glance!" ”

"That, Ying Lili, just in case, I'd better confirm, your attribute seems to be the eldest lady of the otaku attribute squatting at home, right, is it really okay in this kind of place?" Looking at the crowded shopping mall, Kazuya expressed deep concern about whether Eiri pear would be able to adapt to this kind of place.

"What, now it's a collection of materials, not shopping, and besides, you said that I was squatting at home, don't you feel very sorry for me, a painter who has done his best for you?" Ying Li Li glanced at Kazuya with disdain.

"It turns out that the real otaku can use work to convert their home squat attributes into current attributes, is this the so-called turning away from home to home? What a powerful aura! I seem to understand something! ”

"Whatever you understand, get out of the way now, and don't get in my way!"

"So, why can you suddenly become so serious, obviously before yesterday there were still 10,000 unwilling to say!"

Yes, on this day, Kazuya came to the Rokutenba shopping mall again, of course, this time, he was well prepared, prepared the map, and seriously asked Ayase for advice on how to match clothes. However, when he actually arrived, he found that his preparations were useless.

Sawamura Spencer Eiri Riri, his childhood sweetheart, and others pulled away his tablemate Megumi Kato without permission as soon as they got together, and then the three of them walked into various women's clothing stores in turn. Under the leadership of Ying Lili, the three of them visited all the women's clothing stores, and Ying Lili also gave full play to his superb matching skills as a painter and a unique cute aesthetic vision, put on one dress after another for Kato, and according to her ideas in her sketchbook, depicted Kato's game protagonist character and clothing, so that Kazuya had to sigh at the high level of Ying Lili.

Naturally, whether it is leading the way, or matching clothes, the Ying pear who has entered the working state has taken care of it, and what also needs to be done, in addition to paying, carrying the bag, or paying, carrying the bag.

Yes, the money for these clothes is from Kazuya, according to Ying Lili's statement: "This should belong to the public funds of the association, and in the absence of the president, it should be you, the person who is closest to the president, to apply to the president for activity funds, so the money will be reimbursed by you first." ”

But everyone knows that what they are doing now can't let An Yilun, who is the president, also know, that only when Jean Lun also witnesses Kato again when he meets by chance, and Jean Lun also bursts out of his cute psychology for Kato from the bottom of his heart, can he really feel touched and write plans and bridges that move everyone. Therefore, all this money was naturally paid by Kazuya alone for the time being. Watching the thickness of his wallet shrink, Kazuya remembered the history of emptying his purse for Ying Lili. Now, history repeats itself, and he can only sigh that even after ten years, his childhood sweetheart is still unmerciful in squeezing himself.

---------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------------

The third day of the Golden Week holiday

"That, senior sister, I have a question, since you have already written the script, and then you are in charge of Kato's acting direction, why did you call me here?"

"Why didn't Kazu-kun react at this time? Of course, it's for, the play! Looking at Shi Yu with a dark smile on his face, Kazuya felt that calling him over was definitely more than just a play.

"Well, I also think that if someone can play with me, then I may be more comfortable acting in front of An Yi!" Kato, who seems to be cute, also made up for it next to him.

"Okay, okay! But if you're going to play with me or something, I'm going to protest. ”

"Hey, how could I be toying with you?"

"I'm ready to run away halfway!"

“cut！ Kazuya-kun, it's not good for you to be like this, what did Kato-san say, at that time, Taki-kun was trying to pick up her hat, but he fell to the ground heavily in front of her, what is the feeling of you picking up your hat easily, do it again! "Since the start of rehearsals, Shiyu's cut has not stopped, but, although he has no mercy in criticizing Kato's acting skills, but, somehow, Kazuya always feels that Shiyu's requirements for him, who is just a stand-in, seem to be more demanding.

"That, senior sister, you don't have to be real, right? Wouldn't it be nice to make a symbolic look? After all, I'm not Renya, I'm just imitating Kato's reaction in front of him. Kazuya smiled wryly and looked at Shiha Kasumigaoka, who had entered the state of director.

"How's that going to work? For an immature actor like Kato, the best way to give full play to his 100% strength is to be truly immersive, how do you cut corners like this, how to make Kato-chan recall the situation when he met Taki-kun, and how to let Kato-chan perform the heart-warming feelings when facing Taki-kun, so, you must fall, and you must really pour! Shiyu rolled the script in his hand into a trumpet shape, slapped his other hand hard, and solemnly warned Kazuya, so that Kazuya really couldn't tell whether she was really good for Kato or ** herself.

However, Kazuya, who felt that the other party was talking serious nonsense, still took a deep breath and threw it to the ground:

"Pain and ......pain" Although he was mentally prepared, the pain of his knee hitting the cement pavement still made Kazuya a little unbearable, "I already knew to wear knee pads." Kazuya thought regretfully.

“cut！ It's not right at all, you're too fake to fall like this, don't bring protection, don't inhale, and poke your whole body out like you're trying to catch Ayase! Do it again! ”

"It's going to die, hey, at least he'll get hurt! I put all my money on my clothes yesterday, and if I say that I can use the funds for club activities to pay for medical expenses or something, then I will have to borrow money from Ayase! ”

"How is it possible, do you see that Taki-kun is injured? He's an otaku like him who doesn't usually exercise and he's not injured, how can you get hurt? Kazuya-kun, for the sake of your game, for your heroine, can't you even hold on to this sacrifice? ”

Raising his head with resentment, he glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and did so, and then.

"Ahh A crisp voice rang out.

"Eh, it can't really hurt, is it?" Shi Yu's expression was also a little surprised, as if he didn't realize that this unexpected situation had happened.

"Fracture your head, it's so easy to break a bone and I'll kick an egg? But it's dislocated, it's dislocated! ”

"That's right, Kazu-kun is a national-level football player, this little injury is definitely commonplace, so let's continue!" Shiyu held back a laugh and announced the order to continue.

"The bones haven't been reset yet, just let me continue, I see you're smiling, you're definitely playing with me!"

"Ahh

However, Kazuya, who dislocated his arm, really couldn't continue to insist on playing that trick, and with the help of Kato, he slowly got up from the ground, and he had to walk back to the side of the road silently, sitting in the corners along the way, watching Kasumigaoka Shiyu give acting guidance to Kato Megumi.

"Say this with a softer expression! Can't you understand Japanese? ”

"So, don't always look confused, keep your eyes open a little wider, and your facial features look more open. Don't think of yourself as a rat, don't huddle up in a ball! ”

"What about the smile smile, either pursed your lips or smiled, you have to show your happy appearance, crack your mouth, it's not like this, at least your eyes are narrowed, otherwise how can you attract otaku?"

"That's right, that's it, go back and understand it well, really, how can you be an actor like this."

Looking at Kato, who had shown amazing acting skills in front of him, he was reprimanded by Shiyu and depreciated to be worthless, and he couldn't help but sigh, but Kato's progress was also seen in his eyes, and in the end, Kato's bright smile and her surprised and shy tone really couldn't make people feel that it was the inconspicuous Kato Megumi who had always been calm.

"But, Senior Sister Shiyu, you don't need me to make soy sauce to guide Kato very well, and sure enough, I'm going to use it for her."

-------------------------- Dividing Line----------------------------------

Just as Kazuya was still reminiscing about Kato's acting skills, a can came to his mouth.

"Eh, what's going on?" Kazuya was surprised to find that Kato, who was still practicing hard just now, had naturally sat down next to him.

"Well, isn't Aragaki-san's arm dislocated, and you can't use it to open cans, so I opened you."

"That's, that's not what it means, Kato, Kato, aren't you supposed to be practicing your acting skills?"

"Oh, it seems that Senior Sister Shiyu is calling from the editorial department, about her latest novel, it seems that she has been writing the script of my meeting with An Yi in the past few days, and it has delayed the matter over there! She's getting ready to go back to catch up on the manuscript now! ”

"Eh, she made your script a priority, which was a bit of a surprise to me!"

"However, Senior Sister Shiyu is very strict, and she is also very talented in directing, so I don't feel like it's the first time I've instructed someone to act!"

"Hey, don't look at her like this, she writes the script of the drama department at the cultural festival every year, and she directs it herself!"

"Eh, that's right, no wonder he looks like he's good at writing scripts and directing!"

"You have done a good job, and your ability to resist pressure is also very strong, you know, every year, those members of the drama department, there are always a few who are scolded and cried by her, after all, you also know that guy is a terrible poisonous tongue!"

"But I feel like Kasumigaoka-senpai isn't being strict with me!"

"You guy, I don't think anyone will be harsh on you!"

"Eh, is that so?"

"So, Kato, you are really a good person, and being too good a person is also an important issue that does not attract attention!"

"Is Aragaki-san reminding me? I see, thanks! ”

Seeing that the bottom of the can was immediately empty, Kazuya hesitated for a long time, but still threw out the question he had been asking all along: "Kato, you answer me seriously, why would you suddenly work so hard for a project that has nothing to do with you?" Is it really because you were moved by the efforts of Lun Ye and me, or is it like you said afterwards that you are happy to be with everyone, or is there some other reason? ”

"yes, why?" Kato didn't look at Kazuya, but at the sky in the distance.

The cherry blossom season is coming to an end, and the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road are about to bear fruit, and they are in full bloom with their last pink.

A breeze blew the broken hair around Kato's ears, and Kato looked up along the ramp, "Probably, just because I wanted to!" ”

"Well, what, just because you want to?" And it's a little unclear so.

"Yes, just because I want to." Kato looked at Kazuya, looking ahead with a little confusion in his eyes.

"So, that's not a reason at all, is it?"

"Well, it's not a reason, anyway, for Kazuya-san, you want me to be more charming, isn't it also your wish?"

That's right! But you still haven't said your reason! ”

"I told you that, just because I wanted to!"

"You're kidding me!"

"Not necessarily!"

Kazuya, who was busy complaining about Kato, didn't notice the moment Megumi Kato's address changed from surname to name, nor did he notice the fleeting complicated expression on Kato's face.
