After the brief confrontation between Utaha and the Fairy, the script meeting officially began.
The Fairy and Eiri sat together, having already established an alliance with a mere exchange of glances due to their common enemy. Megumi Kato sat beside them, looking down and playing on her phone, as if the matter did not concern her. Nanami sat properly on the sofa, quietly observing the girls around her.
Nijika and Ryo also sat properly, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire. As for Little Bocchi... she huddled behind the sofa where Nijika and Ryo sat, trembling in fear of the clashing Utaha and the Fairy.
So scary! Script meetings are so scary!
"Ahem..." Rin Ito cleared his throat, placed the recorder on the coffee table in the middle, and announced, "The first script meeting officially begins. Currently, we can confirm that the game will be sold as an all-ages version with an optional 18+ DLC. The heroine's personality is to have the same lack of presence as Megumi Kato. Everything else is undetermined."
Rin Ito glanced back and forth at Utaha, Eiri, and Megumi.
"As the project initiators, you two should state your ideas first."
"..."
"..."
The two women stared sharply at each other. They didn't really have many concrete ideas for what kind of GALGAME to create; their competitive spirit was simply at play. However, as creators, coming up with a concept was not difficult for either of them.
Utaha shifted her legs, which were crossed and wrapped in black tights, and looked at Eiri provocatively.
"My plot is simple. The flat-chested heroine with low presence has an unknown, perverted fetish. Exploiting her low presence, the heroine often does things like wearing a pair of panties on her head and taking nude walks under the moonlight."
"One day, Eiri... oh no, the heroine. When the heroine is walking on a slope at night, the panties on her head are blown away by the wind and picked up by the male protagonist at the bottom of the slope. The male protagonist uses the panties to masturbate all night. When he gets to school the next day, he realizes that the owner of the panties is his classmate."
"Pffft..." Rin Ito almost burst out laughing. Megumi Kato, who meets the protagonist on a slope with her hat blown away, has been turned by Utaha into the protagonist finding the panties of a naked Eiri walking under the moonlight.
"Utaha Kasumigaoka... you totally let your true feelings slip, didn't you?"
Eiri's mouth twitched, and she gritted her teeth. "Then my plot will be about a dark, big-breasted heroine with low presence who uses her lack of presence to write erotic novels in the classroom every day. One day, Utaha Kasumigaoka... oh no, the heroine. After class, the heroine is masturbating with the corner of a desk in the classroom when the male protagonist, who has returned to retrieve forgotten homework, accidentally walks in. The male protagonist doesn't say anything but waits for the heroine to finish, then follows the heroine onto the train ride home."
"Why bother with a DLC? Why not just make it a pure 18+ eroge?" Rin Ito quipped.
Megumi Kato also looked up, taking her eyes off her phone and staring at the two. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke.
"The heroine... should be me, right?"
Megumi Kato, who had never played a GALGAME before, had been diligently playing various titles these past few days. Megumi Kato was the type who kept her phone close and would feel anxious without it. In the past, she used her phone to chat with friends, watch videos, or browse social media, but recently, she had been playing GALGAMEs or looking through the programming tutorials Rin Ito had sent her.
Compared to the token efforts of Eiri and Utaha, Megumi Kato was the most serious one... After being a "no-name" for more than ten years, Megumi Kato also wanted to experience what it was like to be a heroine.
"Hmph..."
"Hmph!"
Seeing Megumi say this, Eiri and Utaha snorted, then began a serious discussion about the plot. Their earlier suggestions were purely personal attacks against each other.
The two began a serious discussion about the game's outline. Although the Fairy didn't play GALGAMEs much, she also participated in the discussion.
However... Rin Ito could see what was happening. The outlines were legitimate, and in Rin Ito's opinion, both were excellent and usable. But because Utaha and Eiri were at odds, they were simply opposing for the sake of opposing, nitpicking every detail. Although Eiri couldn't out-argue Utaha, she had the Fairy backing her up, leaving neither side yielding. Rin Ito had anticipated this.
"Stop, stop, stop... How about I suggest one?"
The two looked at each other, then nodded simultaneously. Whether their own outline was used wasn't important; what was important was that the other's outline wasn't used. If Rin Ito's outline was good, using his would be acceptable to both sides. Seeing their agreement, Rin Ito spoke.
"Hmm... In this world, there's a phenomenon that occurs among adolescents called Puberty Syndrome. This phenomenon comes in various forms, such as personality swaps, time loops, and so on... and in the heroine's case, Puberty Syndrome manifests as a lack of presence."
"To gain attention, the heroine even wears a bunny girl outfit and wanders around the school, the library, and the streets. The male protagonist happens to spot the heroine in the bunny girl outfit in the library one day."
"Then, in the quest to find presence, the male and female protagonists do all sorts of things together... both normal and 18+ events. For example, the nude walk at night that Utaha mentioned, or Eiri's train play... Basically, something similar to the invisible person trope in adult mangas."
Rin Ito directly adapted the Bunny Girl Senpai concept from his past life and applied it to Megumi Kato. Although he couldn't recall all the details, he remembered the general premise.
"If you want to expand further, you can include different routes for heroines who suffer from various strange Puberty Syndromes."
After hearing Rin Ito's proposal, all three women's eyes lit up. Eiri and Utaha looked at Rin Ito in surprise... They hadn't expected him to have such a good idea. Rin Ito's concept was excellent for both an 18+ GALGAME and a light novel adaptation, and perfectly suited for an all-ages main game plus an 18+ DLC. If the script wasn't needed for the GALGAME, Utaha would have considered using it as a rough outline for a new book.
"Hmph... some 'beautiful high school girl best-selling light novelist,' can't even compare to a hentai artist." Eiri sneered mockingly. It wasn't that Utaha's previous outline was worse than Rin Ito's adaptation from his past life; Eiri simply wanted to mock her.
"Heh heh..." Utaha crossed her arms in front of her, emphasizing her well-developed bust, and retorted provocatively, "Both are hentai artists, but one only has perverted S&M fantasies in his head while the other can come up with a brilliant outline. How do you explain that?"
Although both agreed to Rin Ito's outline, their bickering didn't stop. Rin Ito sighed helplessly, watching them... If I get the chance, I definitely need to stack them on top of each other and fuck them hard!
