Before Shinnosuke and Yukino could argue about who should have their character fixed, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.
Hearing the knock, Yukino's eyes lit up.
'Here it comes? The first real request!'
As for fixing Shinnosuke, Yukino temporarily had no ideas. She couldn't do anything to him at all; instead, she was often openly or subtly taught by him.
"Please come in."
The classroom door opened, and a familiar figure entered. Shinnosuke frowned upon seeing him.
Aki Tomoya.
Seeing Shinnosuke, Tomoya's face instantly paled. Several bad memories wildly assaulted his brain.
These past two days, Tomoya had become a coward. The relationship between Shinnosuke and Eriri, as well as the "Master" call he had secretly overheard, became a lifelong shadow.
Tomoya realized that this time, Eriri had truly left him.
The blow from reality made Tomoya completely decide to embrace the two-dimensional world, and he was also determined to create his own GalGame.
However, Tomoya was very aware that if it were just him alone, he definitely wouldn't be able to make a high-quality GalGame. He had to use other people's abilities to realize his dream.
Original art, text, background music, and programming—he was not proficient in any of those.
Nevertheless, Tomoya still went to the Student Council, wanting to establish his own club first. But his request was immediately rejected by the Student Council, and the reason was simple.
The Student Council didn't think Tomoya had the ability to make a game unless he could submit a high-quality planning proposal and gather five club members, only then could he establish his own club.
Tomoya wanted to use his old trick, prostrating himself (dogeza) in the Student Council meeting room to Shinomiya Kaguya, wanting to engage in moral blackmail.
But he forgot that this was Shuchi'in Academy, not Toyogasaki High School. He was thoroughly humiliated by Shinomiya Kaguya, almost dealt with by Hayasaka Ai, and then introduced to the Service Club by Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Hiratsuka, as a teacher, was still very responsible. Even for someone as clearly hopeless as Tomoya, she would still treat him seriously.
Seeing Shinnosuke in front of him, Tomoya froze on the spot. He wanted to struggle, but he didn't have enough courage.
"Student, what business do you have?"
Yukino looked at Tomoya, a little confused as to why he had been acting like this since entering. Did he have a conflict with Shinnosuke?
"That... Hiratsuka-sensei told me to come. She said I could get help here."
Tomoya forced himself to calm down. If he didn't make a high-quality bishoujo game, he felt his life would be meaningless.
Even if Shinnosuke was beside her, he would ask Yukino for help.
"Since it's a request, please sit down and state the contents of your request."
"Shinnosuke, whatever conflict there is between you two, please resolve it privately. In this club, we only handle requests, okay?"
Yukino's gaze at Shinnosuke contained a hint of pleading. For her, the Service Club's activities were an important part of realizing her beliefs.
Her address also changed from Nohara-kun to Shinnosuke. If Shinnosuke made an excessive request at this time, perhaps she wouldn't refuse?
Shinnosuke nodded, glanced at Tomoya, and said nothing.
"My request is, I hope the Service Club can help me create my own bishoujo game!"
Before coming, Hiratsuka had already told him about the nature of the Service Club and asked him to seek Yukino's help to fulfill all his requests.
Bishoujo game? This was an area Yukino wasn't familiar with, but she also knew that it definitely belonged to otaku culture.
"Could you explain in more detail?"
When lecturing, Tomoya was like a different person, talking non-stop. This was indeed quite amazing, although it would also bring a lot of trouble to others.
Yukino was very responsible towards every request. After listening to Tomoya's long-winded nonsense, she more or less understood what was going on.
"In other words, Aki-kun, because of an encounter, you want to make a game based on that encounter, and the target audience is otaku who yearn for love, is that correct?"
When describing the encounter, Tomoya naturally erased Shinnosuke. He became the one who picked up the beret.
"More or less, but bishoujo games aren't just liked by otaku who yearn for love, they can also bring happiness to everyone!"
A request that wasn't too difficult and wasn't too easy—this was a good start.
"In that case, do you have a rational plan? The selection of related personnel and the funds to make the game, have you considered all of that?"
"Ah..."
Yukino's question hit Tomoya's weak point directly. He had no rational plan at all, let alone funds.
Whether it was establishing the club or coming to the Service Club for help, it was all just to get something for free.
"T-this is my planning proposal. As for the members needed to make the game, they are currently in the recruitment phase, and funds are also being worked on."
Initially, he wanted to include Eriri, but after glancing at Shinnosuke, Tomoya gave up on that idea.
Receiving his planning proposal, Yukino only glanced at it, then frowned.
Called a planning proposal, it was actually more suitable to be called scrap paper. There was no planning at all; everything was irrelevant to making a game. It was only about two hundred words in total. Who was he fooling?
She immediately placed the so-called proposal on the table.
"Aki-kun, this is the Service Club, not a request machine. This toilet paper-like proposal of yours, I have absolutely no idea how to help you."
"If you really want to make a game, you'd better submit a high-quality planning proposal. Judging from the current planning proposal, the Service Club will not accept this request."
His planning proposal being called toilet paper made even Tomoya's face turn very bad.
"I understand, I will submit a high-quality planning proposal!"
However, Tomoya quickly perked up again, picked up his planning proposal, and promised Yukino with an enthusiastic look on his face.
Unfortunately, Yukino was not moved by his seemingly enthusiastic appearance. She nodded with a frown and didn't say much.
Glancing at Shinnosuke, Tomoya took his planning proposal and left the Service Club.
"Tell me, what's your problem with him?"
After Tomoya left, Yukino looked at Shinnosuke.
"It can't really be called a problem. He and Eriri used to be friends, but because of his character, he caused a lot of trouble for Eriri, so they are no longer in contact."
"In other words, you stole his childhood friend?"
Looking at Shinnosuke with a gaze as if looking at trash, Yukino seemed disgusted. Just because of a girl, a conflict arose—wasn't that too low?
Kori was his pet; how could he use the word "stole"?
