Chapter 29
Chapter 29 - 29
With Kitahara Sosuke's words, the air seemed to solidify, becoming even tenser. A group of girls in Toyogasaki school uniforms sitting not far away occasionally turned their heads this way secretly, whispering something.
"Purity is too low... what do you mean, Kitahara?"
Tomoya Aki was suppressed by this momentum, his throat bobbing with difficulty.
"I said you're not pure enough."
Kitahara Sosuke's face was cold and expressionless, not revealing a trace of emotion. One of the results of trying to meditate in various noisy environments was that he could maintain a deadpan expression no matter how extreme the situation, making it completely impossible for others to guess his thoughts.
"Aki, you keep saying you want to make your ideal game, but you can't even produce a proposal that's somewhat passable."
To make his words more convincing, Sosuke picked up the trash proposal in his hand again and waved it in front of him, constantly reminding this guy of the stupid things he had done.
"This was the task you assigned yourself, completely failing grade."
Placing the crumpled paper on the table, his dead fish eyes then turned to the other two.
"Sawamura, and Kasumigaoka-senpai, the two of you are also not pure enough."
Sosuke turned his spearhead towards the other two, criticizing them without showing any leniency due to his goodwill towards them.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Eriri didn't seem to understand Sosuke's meaning, but the upperclassman next to her clearly did. Sosuke didn't continue explaining to the otaku Eriri, who still hadn't understood the situation, but directly continued to Tomoya Aki.
"Aki, you're different from the slow-witted male protagonists in galgames, you're a smart person."
"What their purpose is in joining your club, you... are actually very clear about it, right?"
Sosuke didn't want to continue wasting his precious time on other people's youth love stories. But to prevent wrongly accusing Tomoya Aki due to preconceived notions, he wanted to give him one more chance. But Tomoya Aki clearly had no self-awareness at all.
"Utaha-senpai and Eriri, of course everyone is together to make the best galgame!"
Seemingly to prove the correctness of his words, Tomoya habitually stood up again, accompanied by some intense physical gestures and loud shouts, wanting the crowd to agree with him from the bottom of their hearts. But how much of this loud voice was to cover up his own lack of confidence? Sosuke felt that even he probably didn't believe his own nonsense.
Moreover, this way of not caring about others at all instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the shop. Of course, this also included the other girls from Toyonosaki.
"That really is Kasumigaoka-senpai..."
"And that diplomat's daughter, Eriri Spencer Sawamura... I didn't expect the two of them to have this kind of relationship with that otaku."
A girl with a short ponytail and some freckles on her face pointed and whispered with several companions around her. One of the girls secretly took out her phone.
Kitahara Sosuke noticed the actions of the girls over there. The training in meditation had made his five senses sharper than ordinary people. But he didn't say anything; he didn't want to remind these people. He looked back at the boastful Tomoya Aki in front of him.
"You... are really quite disgusting."
Sosuke said coldly. This time, he was genuinely angered by this guy. This time, hearing Tomoya Aki's answer, Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri surprisingly remained silent. Kitahara Sosuke also stood up.
Tomoya Aki wanted to increase his momentum through this method, and Sosuke chose to indulge him. In front of the sturdy Kitahara Sosuke, Tomoya looked as weak as a thin child, the absolute weaker party. This was the most direct visual feeling from the people watching what was happening here.
"Tomoya Aki, in my opinion, you are a very standard male protagonist in a galgame."
"You choose your favorite heroine while making the main storyline of the game."
"If you have the ability to hook up with women, that's your skill. Even if you freeload, honestly, it doesn't have much to do with me. I don't have much right to criticize you..."
Kitahara Sosuke's face was still expressionless at first, but as he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then...
"But after using the little feelings Sawamura and Kasumigaoka have for you, making them join the club as free labor to help you make your game..."
"You're still not satisfied and want to drag Kato-senpai into your love game..."
"I'm already restraining myself by not punching you!"
He grabbed Tomoya Aki's collar and, with one hand, yanked the other towards him as if he were lifting Kokoa.
Kitahara Sosuke was really angry. His actions naturally startled Eriri, Utaha, and Megumi. The few of them quickly stood up, but Sosuke forcibly stopped before they could react. Just like he said, he didn't plan to actually hurt this guy.
Otherwise, Tomoya Aki would have become Hayato-kun's neighbor long ago.
"Tomoya!"
"Tomoya-kun, are you alright?"
The upperclassman and Eriri didn't bother scolding Sosuke but quickly became concerned about Tomoya Aki's well-being.
"Kitahara, things aren't that serious, are they?"
Megumi also proactively stepped forward, holding one of Kitahara Sosuke's hands to stop him, while also saying this with worry. Due to certain reasons, she wasn't disappointed in Sosuke because of his uncontrolled behavior towards Tomoya. However, she really didn't expect Sosuke, who usually seemed quite composed, to have such a big reaction this time.
"Kato-senpai, although you've been classmates with him for a long time, I'm afraid that until today, you haven't understood Tomoya-kun's rich emotional life, have you?"
Kitahara Sosuke smiled thinly, indicating that he was very calm, and then continued to point the finger at Tomoya Aki.
"Look, Aki is much more capable than you, his classmate, imagine. He's still playing dumb about the question just now."
"Cough cough... why say such excessive things? I really just wanted to invite Kato to make my ideal game together. All those things you said, Kitahara, are your misunderstandings!"
Tomoya Aki coughed twice, still unwilling to give up, trying to convince himself like he was hypnotizing himself. His words made Kitahara Sosuke, whose face was cold, narrow his eyes, completely losing all psychological burden of bullying this person. The two girls looked at Tomoya again with nervousness, and only relaxed after realizing he didn't seem to be injured.
"Although Tomoya-kun is a fickle scumbag, the one thing that can't be denied is his passion for galgames."
Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at Sosuke with her beautiful red eyes, which had become very unfriendly. The voice she had heard on the phone earlier had already proven that the other party was not a good person, and she regretted her previous thoughts.
"That's right! Your malicious slander against Tomoya is just too much!"
Eriri also stomped her foot angrily, wanting to stand up for her childhood friend. Then, just as she wanted to continue accusing Sosuke of something...
"You two simps, shut up!"
Feeling annoyed, Kitahara Sosuke casually tossed out a sentence, triggering a series of adverse reactions.
"Simp... are you talking about me?"
The incomprehensible Eriri was directly stunned.
"..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka's body also froze instantly upon hearing the other party's address to her. The way Japanese people argue is very simple, just those few phrases back and forth. Upon suddenly hearing the vocabulary translated by Kitahara Sosuke, even she didn't react for a moment. But after all, she was a famous talented woman, and her mind quickly turned over. Her chest rose and fell with anger.
"Enough!"
A cold voice, and Utaha Kasumigaoka, who had quickly finished thinking, had regained her composure. Her wine-red eyes stared intently at Sosuke's face, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
"Alright, Kitahara-kun."
"Regarding what you think of Tomoya-kun's thoughts, please share your brilliant insights. I'm very interested in your answer."
Utaha Kasumigaoka started shaking her leg at a very high frequency, and it was obvious at a glance that she was forcibly suppressing her anger as she said this. But she probably knew the answer. Did she realize after this drama that things probably wouldn't go as smoothly as she had initially anticipated with the club, so she wanted to call it out early...?
But Sosuke didn't care about such troublesome matters. He had already achieved his main goal for coming here, which was to prevent Megumi Kato from being lured away by Tomoya. Everything else was secondary.
The girls from Toyogasaki not far away were watching this side with unblinking eyes, seemingly completely captivated by what was happening here.
"I refuse."
"Your romantic comedy has nothing to do with me. Please ask your 'Tomoya-kun' for the answer yourself."
Sosuke first smiled at Utaha Kasumigaoka, then put away his smile and flatly rejected her request.
