Chapter 163: Protagonist confession

Chapter 163: Protagonist confession

"That guy? You mean Eiji-kun? Well... No, I didn't learn from anyone. I'm not a ninja girl, Utaha Senpai." Megumi said in a very calm and expressionless tone.

There was no anger at being mocked, instead she took her question seriously.

"...." Utaha was joking of course, but compared to the feeling of punching Eriri who sent a counterattack, the feeling of punching Megumi was very boring. It was like punching cotton.

Even so, Megumi was clearly a good junior, she actually liked her more than girls like Eriri. It's just that it's true what Eiji said, that girl is indeed like a ninja because her existence is very thin and often suddenly appears which makes people surprised by it.

By the way...

"Megumi-san, you know the person I'm referring to is Eiji-kun? Could it be that you can also hear that voice?" Utaha realized this, she was a little surprised. It seemed that not only her and Eriri, but Megumi and even the other heroines could also hear inner voices.

Actually, she had guessed this for a long time, especially since she learned that the girl named Yuuki Nonaka also seemed to be able to hear it.

What happened to Megumi convinced her even more.

"Hearing? Kasumigaoka Utaha, what did Megumi hear?" Eriri was so slow, it took more seconds for her to realize what Utaha meant. Her blue eyes widened and looking shocked, she saw Utaha smiling contemptuously at her.

She clenched her small fists, feeling the urge to beat Utaha up.

"Hm... You guys seem to be able to hear it too?" Although Megumi's academic grades were not as good as an outstanding student like Eriri, her IQ worked faster than the blonde girl's, she instantly realized Utaha and Eriri could also probably hear the inner voices of Eiji and the others in their heads. However, this discovery didn't even change her expression. She said: "So that's it. I'm not the only one who can hear it."

While the three girls were chatting.

The person they were waiting for finally came.

The door was shifted rather loudly, making the girls turn their gazes forward.

"Tomoya, you're late! What are you...huh?" Eriri did not finish her words, she was shocked and wondered how her childhood friend became like this?

Utaha was equally surprised, she suddenly remembered Eiji saying something about a plot that had something to do with Tomoya. Was this what he meant? Actually if it weren't for the fact that she still had a contract with Blessing Software, she wouldn't have wanted to come here, especially after hearing Tomoya's disappointing inner voice.

However, as a novelist, she was also a professional. Personal matters would not make her directly neglect her work and responsibilities as a scriptwriter in this group.

Megumi also looked at Tomoya who had just arrived, she gave her classmate a curious look.

Why? It was because unlike usual, this time Tomoya came to the group meeting in an unusual outfit!

Instead of wearing his school uniform, Tomoya was now wearing a black suit with a very formal red bow tie. He no longer wears glasses, the hair that usually covers his bangs is also combed up. As the protagonist, it must be admitted that Tomoya's appearance dressed up like this can indeed be considered handsome.

Even his childhood friend Eriri looked dazed when she saw him.

Now that Tomoya no longer had the aura of a nerd around him, he now had the aura of a handsome and rich man that girls usually meet at weddings.

"Sorry, I'm late." Tomoya said calmly and confidently.

"....." Utaha, Eriri, and Megumi were silent.

At this moment, they also heard Eiji's inner voice in their heads.

[Has it already started? Pfft! Hahaha! Protagonist Tomoya, are you seriously wearing that outfit? Although it looks good, you're overdoing it. But whatever, do it! I want to see how the girls react after you do it.]

Do it? Do what?

The three girls looked around, only the four of them including Tomoya were inside the auditorium.

Since the man's voice was heard, Eiji must also be watching them somewhere, right?

{They looked surprised, even looking around as if they couldn't bear to look at my appearance right now. It's true what those people on the internet said, at this moment when Eriri, Utaha, and Megumi take their eyes off me, they must just be embarrassed because I'm too handsome.}

Never asking, they knew this time it was Tomoya's inner voice.

But what's with this narcissism?

Utaha frowned, actually after seeing men who were much more handsome than Tomoya. For example a guy like Eiji, she wasn't mesmerized by Tomoya's appearance which now did look much more handsome than usual.

Only girls like Eriri were still fascinated because she had quite deep feelings for her childhood friend.

"Tomoya-kun, what are you dressing up like that for? We're having a group meeting, not attending someone's wedding." Utaha said with a slightly venomous tone. She was usually like this.

Tomoya had gotten used to it although he was still a little sad that Utaha no longer called him "Rinri-kun." like she used to.

"Under the blue sky, with the summer dress and beret hat you were wearing back then. When the wind blew and made your hat fly towards me..."

[I feel embarrassed watching this, hey. These words... Did you also learn them on the internet, Tomoya? I don't know where you got the courage to confess to a girl in front of all your heroine.]

"...." Megumi, Eriri, and Utaha.

They knew they were now witnessing a confession scene.

It was true that it felt a bit embarrassing, but they were surprised Tomoya would do this.

And that was still in front of two girls who somehow had to watch the boy they once liked confess to another girl.

Tomoya's actions were actually quite cruel.

Utaha didn't react much, at most she just erased the little remnants of Tomoya in her heart. Her face was cold and indifferent, she didn't care at all about what she was watching.

But Eriri was... The girl's face paled, she sat limply on the chair.

Eiji who saw all this smiled. Tomoya, continue!

"That sight mesmerized me. I knew back then I must have fallen in love with you!"

"Megumi, I like you!"

"Will you be my girfriend?!"

Tomoya said that very loudly, and he was still using the mic to do that.

The girls' ears hurt a little, and the most hurt was Eriri whose not only ears hurt, her heart also hurt because she was heartbroken to see her childhood friend actually confess to another girl and it was right in front of her eyes!

At this moment, everyone naturally glanced at Kato Megumi.

Eiji had just seen the girl in person for the first time today, and although the girl was much more normal compared to heroine like Utaha and Eriri.

Although not as beautiful as the other two, he thought the girl was more unique than the other heroine in the "Saekano" franchise. In the original work, Kato Megumi was able to be the winner who made the protagonist prostrate under her skirt even though she never took so much initiative to seduce the protagonist compared to other heroine.

With short dark brown bobbed hair, dark brown eyes, milky-white skin. Kato Megumi does not have a voluptuous figure like Utaha, but she is also not too small like Eriri. She had "perfect proportions" for a high school girl.

She looks pretty at first glance, but because her face is always flat and looks very lacking in emotion even though she is not a cold type of girl like Yukino. In the original work Megumi is actually a kind and gentle girl. But that's it, she rarely smiles and makes expressions other than her flat expression.

That made her charm stuck at the level of a normal girl that Tomoya seemed to like the most in the original work.

Even now, hearing the protagonist's obvious confession of love to her in front of everyone.

Megumi only widened her eyes slightly, her expression unchanged, she stared at Tomoya for a long time.

Utaha and Eriri thought that the girl would definitely accept Tomoya's confession. After all, Tomoya was the protagonist. In the original work, weren't they also together? That's what Eiji said.

Tomoya was a little embarrassed at first, but after confessing clearly though he was worried seeing Eriri's sad reaction and Utaha's cold one. He decided to ignore them for now. Now, he was waiting for Megumi's answer!

The system didn't tell Megumi to agree to his confession, she could even refuse and the quest would still be successfully completed.

However, Tomoya didn't think Megumi would refuse. With his current appearance which he thought was very handsome and his words of love which he had practiced for several days.

He was sure Megumi would be moved by his confession of love!

She would definitely agree to be his girlfriend!

"Sorry Aki-kun." Megumi's soft and flat voice took the people in the room by surprise.

"!!!" The most surprised was of course Tomoya, he almost dropped the mic in his hand and looked at Megumi in disbelief.
