When Sayuri Sawamura returned to the multimedia classroom with Yukino Yukinoshita, Megumi Kato, and Shizuka Hiratsuka, they heard screams coming from inside before they even opened the door.
"Oh, Mom?"
Seeing Sawamura Sayuri appear at the door, Eriri paused for a moment before letting out a cold snort.
Then, she glared fiercely at Aki Tomoya, who had stood her and Kasumigaoka Utaha up.
"So, have you finished disciplining Xiao Lunye?"
Sawamura Sayuri wasn't particularly surprised that this had happened.
"Senior Lily, I have absolutely no interest in 'training' someone like Ethics-kun. I'm just angry that he left me and this blond loser here for so long."
Kasumigaoka Utaha put down the book in her hand, closed her eyes, and completely ignored Aki Tomoya, who was still screaming in agony beside her.
Then she silently withdrew her foot and looked at Sayuri Sawamura standing at the door.
However, it was precisely this action that drew the attention of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri to the newly appeared beautiful girl.
Of course, I'm not referring to Megumi Kato, the female lead in the game that Tomoya Aki is slated to star in; the two of them met yesterday.
But is this aloof and adorable beauty Yukino Yukinoshita?
How did I end up here?
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri exchanged glances, though they hadn't yet noticed anything amiss in Yukinoshita and Sayuri Sawamura's behavior.
However, any girl who gets close to Sayuri Sawamura becomes a target of their surveillance!
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Eriri blinked her sky-blue eyes and let Aki Tomoya go.
With a sweet smile on her lips, she walked to Sayuri Sawamura's side.
"Yes, it's because of something with Tomoya that I brought Yukino Yukinoshita here with me."
"About Renya?"
Eriri turned her head and glanced at Aki Tomoya, who was standing there, sometimes clutching his foot and crying out in pain, sometimes rubbing his cheek.
"When did this guy get involved with Yukinoshita?"
"Aki came to my Service Club seeking help, wanting me to help him change some of Kato's traits."
That cold voice made Eriri turn her head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita standing next to Sayuri Sawamura.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully examining Yukino Yukinoshita in front of her.
As one of the three most beautiful girls at Toyosaki Academy, Eriri, also a second-year student, was naturally quite familiar with the beautiful girl in front of her.
With her consistently top grades, aloof demeanor, beautiful appearance, and privileged family background, Yukino Yukinoshita has become one of the most popular beauties at Toyonosaki Academy.
And now, this beautiful young girl is standing beside her mother.
Eriri's hostile gaze caused Yukino Yukinoshita, with her keen senses, to frown slightly.
Although the two had heard each other's names countless times, they had never actually met.
Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita had no idea.
Why would this well-known, obedient young lady, Eriri Sawamura, suddenly become hostile towards her?
Moreover, even that third-year student, Kasumigaoka Utaha, is one of them.
Although he didn't speak, those beautiful, wine-red eyes were constantly watching her intently.
Yukino Yukinoshita keenly sensed that the hostility the two men harbored towards her was different from that of the girls who ostracized and resented her out of jealousy.
However, this greatly puzzled Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Rinya actually asked you to do this, and what is the Service Club anyway?"
"The Service Club is a club I founded with the aim of changing the world by helping others learn how to solve problems."
"ha?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's words caused Eriri and Utaha Kasumigaoka behind her to exclaim in surprise and confusion.
Change the world, or do it by helping others?
Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but look at Yukino Yukinoshita with strange eyes.
Could this seemingly aloof and elegant young woman actually be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?
It's understandable that the two of them would have such thoughts.
Because, I'm afraid that anyone who hears this will be surprised and confused at first.
"By the way, what are you planning to discuss today?"
Sawamura Sayuri interrupted Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha's scrutiny of Yukinoshita Yukino, bringing the topic back to its original subject.
"Hmph, of course it's to get this guy to hurry up and finish his game project."
Eriri became quite annoyed whenever this topic came up.
She turned around and rushed to Aki Tomoya.
Then she glared at him fiercely, if it weren't for the presence of Yukino Yukinoshita, this stranger.
She felt an urge to kick him hard to see the anger simmering within her.
"Not only did he stand people up, but he also brought them over to make games, yet he hadn't even finished a game plan and didn't even know what he wanted to do."
Eriri crossed her arms, stood up straight, and looked down at Aki Tomoya with disdain.
"Hey, Aki Tomoya, what do you think of creating art as? Just a simple game of pretend?"
As Eriri spoke, she showed Aki Tomoya the document that he had just taken out for her and Kasumigaoka Utaha.
The so-called game plan was actually just a few sheets of paper handed to Sayuri Sawamura.
"They can't even clearly explain what they want players to see or what emotions they want to convey."
"Moreover, this guy probably doesn't even understand what he's trying to say."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing to the side, also added her own opinion.
Sawamura Sayuri took the papers from her daughter Eriri and glanced at them with Yukino Yukinoshita and the others beside her.
Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who wasn't very familiar with the game development process, could tell that these were just a few blank sheets of paper.
There is no timetable or explanation of the game's theme.
All that exists is Aki Tomoya's incoherent fantasies, and the job responsibilities of Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Kato Megumi.
The others don't even have a game name.
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned deeply. To her, such an unserious person was one of the people she disliked.
"I will not give up."
Faced with the sarcasm of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, and the gazes of Sawamura Sayuri and Yukinoshita Yukino, they were met with resistance.
Aki Tomoya made such a statement.
He clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head, but his tone was very firm.
However, faced with his speech, which sounded like that of an anime protagonist, neither Kasumigaoka Utaha nor Sawamura Sayuri paid any attention to him after just one glance.
