Kitahara Sosuke utterly loathed Tomoya Aki.
Even if the upperclassman and Eriri were ordinary passerby characters who didn't strike his "moe" points, Sosuke didn't want to make things easy for this guy.
The way to stop Kato was simple. Although Megumi was a girl who was somewhat attracted to looks, and Tomoya Aki, when he took off his glasses, had the standard handsome male protagonist setting, Megumi was just someone who appreciated good looks, not a lovesick fool.
At this time, Sosuke, still as a friend, had more influence.
As for the remaining methods to disgust Tomoya Aki...
Kitahara Sosuke planned to be direct.
Talking would only waste his own saliva. It was much more convenient to take direct action and cause trouble for this guy.
"Publicize Tomoya Aki's affairs and let him face the judgment of the masses."
This was Sosuke's plan.
The upperclassman and Eriri simped for Tomoya with relish, while Tomoya acted like a total jerk without any self-awareness.
The few of them were immersed in their own romantic game, not noticing anything was wrong.
But if others knew about their situation, there was no doubt they wouldn't find it normal.
Just like the masses on Online, countless readers and authors sympathized with the two girls, desperately putting countless green hats on Tomoya.
There was a reason he became the king of green hats.
Tomoya Aki's actions, once exposed, would definitely not be liked by many people.
If Tomoya were a rich and powerful second-generation heir, then even if he openly engaged in building a harem and selecting concubines on social media platforms like facebook...
he would only be envied, and some people would even actively try to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, Tomoya Aki wasn't that kind of person. He was just a very ordinary otaku.
In this society, an otaku at the bottom of the social hierarchy, simultaneously stringing along two girls, was the behavior of a scumbag.
Even if the female characters in the incident weren't the two beauties of Toyonosaki, it would still be enough to attract attention.
In her memory, Eriri had lost friends in the normal world and been looked down upon because she was afraid of revealing her relationship with Tomoya and her otaku identity...
So, she chose to actively draw a line between herself and Tomoya Aki.
At this time, Eriri still didn't think her initial choice was wrong and refused to apologize to Tomoya Aki.
Having not yet experienced the rich events of the future and gradually matured, she would probably make the same choice again.
"This way, one can be easily dealt with. Next is the upperclassman, not leaving even one for Green Also."
Just as Kitahara Sosuke was thinking about how to both strike at Tomoya Aki and try not to hurt Eriri and the upperclassman too much...
Someone earlier than him had already taken action.
Glancing at the few classmates secretly watching here, one with short hair was secretly taking pictures of the situation with her phone.
Seemingly inadvertently meeting Sosuke's gaze, she shrank back timidly after being looked at.
Although only a first-year, Kitahara Sosuke was someone easily remembered due to his outstanding physical condition.
He was cold and low-key in school but had already gained some fame... in the sense of being someone not to be trifled with.
"Senpai, it really is that Kasumigaoka. She and the second-year Sawamura both have a very close relationship with that otaku who showed anime at the school festival."
"Ami, please tell me the details of what happened. Oh right, after this, let's go to the new cake shop on West Street together."
Hearing the upperclassman's promise, finally getting a response after simping for so long, the short-haired girl was very excited and instantly began to embellish the story.
"It seems that otaku was two-timing and still wasn't satisfied, and went to provoke someone else's boyfriend... the other person was that particularly tall first-year boy."
"Kitahara Sosuke?"
The baseball club upperclassman said that name.
"Y-yes..."
The girl's phone contained a series of such messages, along with a few poorly angled photos.
And the recipient was her third-year upperclassman in the baseball club, who had a crush on but no courage to confess to, and could only act as one of her backup options.
The person that upperclassman liked was naturally Utaha Kasumigaoka.
And he was just one of the many suitors of Utaha and Eriri.
Also, the person attracting the attention of these somewhat gossipy Toyonosaki Academy girls towards the upperclassman and Eriri wasn't Kitahara Sosuke, but Tomoya Aki.
Because Tomoya Aki himself kept making noise, and his voice was very loud, making it impossible for others not to notice what was happening here.
And this coffee shop was near the school, so the probability of classmates appearing was quite high.
Let's leave aside what was happening over there for now.
"Let their love game continue slowly. Kato, let's go."
Ignoring Tomoya Aki, who still wanted to continue arguing, and Utaha, whose face was unnaturally pale, Sosuke, a regular customer, silently paid the bill, intending to leave just like that.
"Wait, Kitahara, Kato!"
Tomoya Aki still wanted to make a final struggle.
Megumi's lively eyes looked at him quietly. Actually, because Tomoya Aki was quite good-looking, Kato still had a pretty good impression of him.
But as expected, the opinion of a friend was more important. Moreover, she had something she wanted to talk to Sosuke about alone.
"Kasumigaoka-senpai, Sawamura-san, and Aki, goodbye."
Kato said politely, then turned around without any hesitation and followed Sosuke closely as he left.
"Please wait, Kato-san!"
Tomoya Aki didn't have time to care about the disappointed upperclassman and the angry Eriri beside him. Amidst their loser-like gazes, he hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to grab the girl who would no longer have any connection with him.
Moreover, he had a premonition that if he gave up on Kato Megumi now, not only would the club he had just established end here, but he would regret it for the rest of his life.
But Tomoya Aki's movements froze under Kitahara Sosuke's cold gaze.
"Disgusting guy."
Kitahara Sosuke didn't scold him.
But Tomoya Aki understood his gaze. It clearly showed this feeling of disgust towards him.
His heart wanted to muster courage, but his body wouldn't obey.
The absolute difference in power he had felt when he was picked up like a kitten was the same situation as herbivores in the mountains fearing tigers and leopards.
Tomoya couldn't overcome this instinctive biological fear.
Because if he continued to pester, Kitahara Sosuke would really beat him up, and he wouldn't even be able to fight back, only making a fool of himself.
Tomoya Aki self-deceptively told himself that he didn't like Kato Megumi, that the only wives he liked were in the two-dimensional world.
But in fact...
Kato Megumi was the girl who happened to sit behind him during his entrance exams, and who happened to encourage him when he was about to give up, allowing Tomoya Aki to successfully pass the Toyonosaki entrance exams and saving his "goddess."
This was Tomoya Aki's secret.
Although Tomoya didn't know this fact, the impression of Kato Megumi was indeed firmly imprinted in his heart.
Was the reason for his love at first sight for Kato Megumi on the slope the overlapping of these two impressions?
No one knew the answer.
Watching the girl stand beside the boy, following that inexplicably familiar figure as they left together, the vague shadow of the goddess who had encouraged and saved him during the entrance exams in Tomoya Aki's heart gradually became clear.
A sour pain came from Tomoya's chest.
He seemed to finally understand why he was so concerned and persistent about Kato Megumi.
But it was too late.
