Upon hearing this, Matsueda Azusa looked at the girl and showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
However, Matsueda Azusa was not helpless. He immediately pulled out his notebook and began to search. Soon, he nodded with understanding: "It's a classmate in the same grade as us, Kato Megumi. She was also a member of Aki's nameless club - or to be more precise, one of the very first members."
Matsueda Azusa then revealed a look of sudden realization. "Oh~ Amami-san, could this be your heroine? Does she know that you're looking for your second female lead?"
Cold sweat broke out on Aki Tomoya's forehead.
When Kato Megumi heard this, although she didn't show any expression, she turned her head to look at Aki Tomoya: "Huh? Is that so?"
Although the fact that "Aki Tomoya harassed female classmates" could not be concealed, after all, the discipline committee member was involved, but at least Aki Tomoya explained to people he knew that it was just a misunderstanding, and did not reveal the real reason why he was harassing Nishimiya Shoko.
In fact, Aki Tomoya approached Nishimiya Shoko and wanted her to be the second female lead. On the one hand, he really thought she was very cute and very suitable as a female character in Galgame, but on the other hand, he also had another hidden idea - he wanted Kato Megumi to be jealous of him.
Aki Tomoya secretly thought that while Kato Megumi's normal self in normal conversations was amusing, he'd rather have a high-energy conversation with her when she was out of character. He wanted more heart-pounding moments, and he wanted her to be jealous of him. Simply imagining Kato Megumi like that was incredibly adorable...
But even though he thought so, he naturally thought that the specific implementation method should be discussed after he brought Nishimiya Shoko into the club, and it definitely should not be exposed directly in front of Kato Megumi like this!
After all, if Kato Megumi were to recruit Nishimiya Shoko into the club, she would undoubtedly be considerate of her and not immediately act in an embarrassing manner. Furthermore, no one who saw Nishimiya Shoko's pitiful appearance would have the heart to speak harshly to her, right? At that point, with just a little mediation, combined with his persistence, shamelessness, and unwavering determination to be shameless, he could easily resolve any conflicts that hadn't arisen and perfectly achieve his goal.
But now it's completely different! This matter was directly pointed out by Matsueda Azusa. In the absence of a buffer zone, although Aki Tomoya felt that his relationship with Kato Megumi had progressed, he didn't think she could tolerate such a thing without any scruples.
"Uh, ah, this..."
Aki Tomoya was sweating profusely.
"Oh, if there's a female lead, there has to be a second female lead. If there's a second female lead... do we also have to have a third and fourth female lead?"
Miura Yumiko looked at the two people in front of her, touching her chin in amazement, "People who know you say you are making a Galgame, but people who don't know think you are some kind of harem selection department."
"In short, it's not enough to involve Kato-san. You even want to ask Nishimiya-san to accompany you in implementing your blind, self-centered, and inexplicable, foolish plan that you improvised, thinking you were the best, right?"
Matsueda Azusa raised an eyebrow. "To be honest, I find this very strange. Making a game requires key artists and writers, which is understandable. It also requires character prototypes, but why do you have to keep the prototypes close to you? This seems to be more than just a requirement for game production, right? So... I'm quite curious about this: Amaki-san, what exactly do you think of Kato-san?"
123
Chapter 123 Call the police to arrest you!
"Ah... Although it sounds a bit like a last-ditch move, but..."
Kato Megumi looked thoughtful upon hearing this. She didn't seem to be showing any significant emotion, but she did seem a bit curious. "Ami-kun, I'd actually like to know the answer to this question, too. If they just wanted to make a game based on me, would they really have gone to this extent?"
Aki Tomoya hesitated a bit, wiped the sweat off his face, and nervously explained: "Of course! From the moment I first saw Hui on that slope, that scene had already made up my mind! If I want to make Hui a truly qualified heroine, of course I have to constantly develop Hui's cute points and get closer to the definition of 'heroine', right? So..."
"Huh? So is there something mixed up here?"
Before Amami Tomoya could finish, Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but ask, "Amami-san, this so-called 'heroine' that you think of Kato-san as, is she the heroine in the game you created, or is she your own heroine in real life?"
"what!"
Miura Yumiko sneered, and before Aki Tomoya could reply, she immediately interrupted, "Do you even need to ask? I've never heard of anyone keeping the prototypes of characters around to teach them while making a game, and it doesn't look like they're making much progress on this game. So it's obviously the latter. This guy is simply trying to transform a female classmate into his ideal heroine... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. So disgusting."
"no!"
Although Aki Tomoya was a little flustered, he still secretly glanced at Kato Megumi and spoke eloquently: "Because... because we want to make an excellent, no, perfect, beautiful girl love game! If we want to achieve perfection, it is impossible to rely on fantasy alone, right? That will only produce ordinary rubbish on the market. So let the character prototype grow to the appropriate appearance, which is of course very reasonable..."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Matsueda Azusa spread his hands. "Why don't you let me guess what's going on in your mind? You said it yourself, that you made this decision the moment you first saw Kato-san and witnessed that scene, right? This is probably what's called love at first sight—although the object of love at first sight is someone who is disguised as someone else, but is actually a character created in your mind."
"Because of the fleeting feeling of love that Kato-san gave you at that moment, you developed a false sense of love for her, and wanted to create your own bishoujo love game with her as the heroine... But soon problems arose. When you actually got to know Kato-san, you found that she didn't have the cuteness you imagined, or in other words, she didn't meet the standards of your ideal heroine."
"Although you subconsciously felt a little disappointed, your primal impulse still existed, and your interest in Kato-san, the heroine who brought your heart to a flutter, still existed. So... you made up your mind to find a reason, selfishly trying to truly transform Kato-san into the 'heroine' you wanted."
"Hmm... coercion, dogma, psychological distortion, Stockholm. If Kato-san hadn't fallen in love with you at first sight and was willing to accept such treatment, and if he hadn't considered this a strange interest between the two of you, then boys like Aki-san who try to 'reform' other female classmates should be on legal programs right away."
"Goooo!"
Hearing this, Aki Tomoya subconsciously took a step back as if he had been hit hard, and looked at Matsueda Azusa with a little horror, but his mental strength and thick skin were strong enough that he recovered after a moment of distraction, and opened his mouth to try to explain and refute Matsueda Azusa's statement.
Unfortunately, before he could even open his mouth, Kato Megumi beside him lightly continued to ask, "Hmm... I think I understand a little bit, but there's still some parts I don't understand. Why does Amami-kun want to transform me into his ideal heroine when he's clearly disappointed with the real me? It's normal to give up on fantasy at this time, right?"
"Mr. Kato, you underestimate the creatures of otaku, especially those with evil minds and despicable means."
Matsueda Azusa raised a finger: "Let me explain it this way, using an example that even otaku can understand, that is -"
"What I just said about Aki-san falling in love at first sight with Kato-san during their first meeting is actually a lot like browsing the internet and coming across a brand new, beautifully drawn CG image you've never seen before."
"Then, Amaki meticulously searched the internet for the image and finally discovered that the woman in the picture was actually the protagonist of a new game. He then visited the game's official website to learn more about the game and read the character profiles. Then, he subconsciously began to imagine all the possible scenarios in his mind—the first meeting, the lucky pervert incident, the swimsuit episode, the fireworks display, the confession, and so on and so forth..."
"As he imagined the game, he fell more and more in love with this female character. So, he opened the bonus pre-order with great anticipation, and his money slipped out of his wallet in an instant. Then, when the game finally launched, he installed and downloaded it with great anticipation and started playing. He was surprised to find that the heroine's path was far different from what he had imagined."
"Aki-san completely couldn't accept this bleak reality! It completely destroyed his young and fragile heart and felt like a betrayal! So he came up with the idea of using this heroine as a model to create a second heroine of his own, his own ideal."
Kato Megumi showed a slightly dazed look. Some time ago, Aki Tomoya forced her to play many Galgames. Under the influence of this otaku culture, she could barely understand the otaku thinking that Matsueda Azusa mentioned.
When I think about it this way, I always feel that my appearance is affirmed, but my personality is denied... I am really sorry that the real me is not as satisfactory and perfect as he imagined.
And Aki Tomoya felt as if an arrow had been shot through his heart. He pointed at Matsueda Azusa in surprise and blurted out: "You are a otaku too?!"
Even Miura Yumiko looked at Matsueda Azusa with some confusion, and couldn't help but lean over and ask in a low voice: "How do you know so much about otaku's stuff and thoughts? Aren't you a band member? Are you actually a hidden otaku?"
Songzhi Zi spread his hands speechlessly: "Of course I am not."
Damn it, even Yumiko Miura didn’t know what he had done to understand the psychology of these otakus!
Originally, he was planning to discuss this issue in depth with his good brother Hikigaya Hachiman, but Hikigaya Hachiman declined politely, saying that he was not an otaku, and recommended a heavyweight figure to him - Zaimokuza Yoshiki, the ultimate otaku and a patient with chuunibyou.
Not only is this guy a seasoned otaku, he even wants to write a hit light novel based on the setting he created in his head... Well, in a way, this is somewhat similar to what Tomoya Aki is doing... right? Maybe?
In short, Matsueda Azusa, who was tortured by Zaimokuza's abstract novels, was finally able to figure out what these otakus were thinking.
Kato Megumi nodded: "I see... Is this the reason why Aki-kun wants to transform me?"
Aki Tomoya's forehead gradually became covered with sweat. He opened his mouth several times, but seemed to have no better words to defend himself. In the end, he simply made up his mind, played to his advantage of being thick-skinned, and said loudly: "So, in fact, I have no way to defend myself."
"Then I might as well be frank. The moment I reunited with [Her on the Slope], I thought my mind would go blank, my heart would pound, and my mouth would be so dry that I couldn't speak properly."
"Although I was a little disappointed with Hui's behavior later on, I also thought that as the two of them gradually got closer, even if there were misunderstandings and disagreements that caused resentment, they might end up becoming a pair of bickering lovers every time they met."
"I even thought that in the end, there would be an event that would become the opportunity for them to resolve their misunderstandings, and that the two of them would be able to reaffirm their feelings for each other when they first met, leading to a sweet and happy ending! Isn't that a very normal idea?"
What the hell am I?!
Is that even a word you can say? Just hearing that made Matsueda Azusa want to dig her toes into the floor and dig out a Barbie Dream Luxury Suite! How could this guy just say that?
What a terrifying otaku!
As soon as these words were spoken, not only could Yumiko Miura reveal an expression of great disgust, but even Kato Megumi seemed a little frightened.

Chapter 124 The power of the Minister of Supervision is unlimited!
"Are you serious about what you said..."
Miura Yumiko got goosebumps all over her body and covered her mouth with her hand in disgust, looking at Aki Tomoya as if he were looking at garbage. "He took it upon himself to treat a strange female classmate as the object of his fantasy, and when he met her and felt that she was not to his liking, he wanted to physically manipulate her and change her into what he wanted... And he is so righteous and confident about it. This is basically a declaration of crime! He is a complete pervert!"
"Stop saying that."
Unexpectedly, Matsueda Azusa quickly interrupted Miura Yumiko and looked at Aki Tomoya with a look of doubt and uncertainty: "I heard that some otakus love to be looked at and scolded by high school girls like you. It's useless to insult his personality like this. He might even think you are rewarding him!"
When Yumiko Miura heard this, her face turned pale and she couldn't help turning around, covering her mouth and starting to retch.
Matsueda Azusa continued to press the point: "You're speaking with such sincerity. Let's just assume that's what you really think. Then let me ask you, why is this Amaki-san, who claims to have poured her heart and soul into the heroine, still looking for the so-called second female lead this morning?"
Kato Megumi also realized this after hearing this: "As expected, you still think I am too ordinary. Do you think others are more suitable as role templates for the game?"
Akitomo was choked by Matsueda Azusa's words for a moment, and subconsciously revealed a guilty expression: "Well, Nishimiya-san is very suitable as a character prototype and is very cute. If we can invite her over, it will definitely be a great help to the game production..."
But he spoke in a lower voice, obviously knowing that such words would not convince anyone.
In the end, he simply slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Alright! Then I'll be frank. If there's a heroine, doesn't that mean there's a secondary female lead? Isn't that perfectly normal? Galgames with only a single female lead are a rare occurrence, right? I don't want to play Saya no Uta—even though that's a masterpiece, too—but I really prefer this kind of sweet, romantic comedy-style. "
"She's so delicate and pitiful, like Nishimiya-san, and she uses pen and paper to communicate. Isn't that just super cute? This kind of role is perfect for the second female lead, isn't it?!"
Oh my god, this BYD is simply invincible.
Hearing these shocking words, the other three people present couldn't help but look at Tomoya Aki with horror.
No, no, no, this is a complete criminal declaration, right? How could this person have the audacity to say such ridiculous things?
It seemed like I'd already broken through his outer shell, but it turned out his heart was even more resilient than his defenses! Could this be the ultimate otaku's strength? This was terrifying, almost criminal...
Faced with the current situation, Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but think. After his true thoughts were exposed, Aki Tomoya had obviously given up on himself and directly stated that he was just like this.
This guy's shamelessness is beyond belief. And Kato Megumi next to him is even more outrageous. Despite such treatment, she still refuses to abandon Aki Tomo. It's like someone who lets their right ear be sullied by harassing comments, but immediately lets their left ear be sullied by otaku talk.
If she didn't show a slightly surprised expression now, Matsueda Azusa would really suspect that she was controlled by Aki Tomoya using a hypnosis app, or brainwashed by using a common sense modification instrument.
Continuing to attack Aki Tomoya from this point of view is no longer effective; he's completely obsessed with otaku, beyond redemption. For now, I'm afraid we need to start with their game plan itself.
Matsueda Azusa coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Well, since you've said that, Amami-san, then that means—this club's so-called game project is just a cover, right? It's just a cover for you to transform and pursue Kato-san!"
"Eh?!"
Akitomo didn't expect Matsueda Azusa to suddenly change the subject, and he frantically waved his arms in denial, "No, that's not right! Of course not! I'm serious about making Kei the heroine, and I'm serious about making this game!"
Matsueda Azusa spread his hands and pressed the issue, "Then why is it that your game plan only has a dozen lines?"
“This…this!”
Aki Tomoya turned his face away guiltily, suddenly realizing something was wrong: "Wait, that's not right—how did you know?! You were spying on us!"
Songzhi Zi rolled his eyes: "You wrote it yourself on the club activity record sheet."
"Wasn't that handed over to the student union?"
Aki Tomoya was shocked: "How did you get access to the student council's documents? You... were engaging in shady dealings! Abusing your power for personal gain?!"
"Nonsense! As the Minister of Supervision, my power is unlimited!"
Matsueda Azusa waved his hand and said, "What the student council knows, I know too. What the student council doesn't know, I know too! This is our Supervisory Department! We act first and report later, with Sobu's special permission! Do you understand? Stop quibbling! You haven't even been properly carrying out club activities or making games, have you?!"
Miura Yumiko finally recovered and added indignantly: "And you used making games as a cover to keep those other female classmates who joined your weird club hanging around and using them to do things for you!"
"No, that's not right. What do you mean by hanging? I didn't do anything like that, did I?"
Aki Tomoya glanced at Kato Megumi and immediately retorted without hesitation: "I didn't force them, nor did I threaten them with anything. They did this voluntarily. Megumi knew about this, and it was she who asked them to do it."
Kato Megumi tilted her head and said calmly, "Well... that's not wrong."
"Then why would they do this for no apparent reason? Why would they volunteer to help you create this ridiculous game project? Can they gain even the slightest benefit from this? Can they get what they want?"
Matsueda Azusa stroked his chin. "There has to be a reason for everything, right? You're actually willing to join this project, which has no real plan, for free... What do you think the reason is, Amaki-san?"
"Of course, it's because they also have full confidence in my plan!"
Aki Tomoya immediately defended himself, gesturing with his hands. "Any otaku with ideas would be able to sense how brilliant my plan is, right? Under such circumstances, volunteering to help push it forward... isn't that perfectly normal?"
"Uh……"
Kato Megumi silently raised her hand and added, "Ami-kun, I remember hearing Sawamura-san scold your plan before, saying it was complete nonsense. And I think Kasumigaoka-san also said that your plan was too simple and it was hard to see how it would develop..."
"Megumi! Whose side are you on?"
Unexpectedly, Kato Megumi stabbed him in the back, and Aki Tomoya moved to Bengbu.
Miura Yumiko couldn't help but reveal an expression of immense disgust and aversion, gritting her teeth as she said, "In the final analysis, aren't you just taking advantage of Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-san's affection for you—though I have no idea why they even have such a fondness for you—to get them to help you realize your so-called dream? And the core purpose of this inexplicable dream of yours is to transform and pursue another girl!"
"Even though the plan was a complete mess, they were still willing to sacrifice their time and energy to help you for free. There's no way you couldn't figure out their motives, right? You absolutely knew! Yet, knowing full well that you couldn't possibly repay them for their motives, you still didn't make things clear. Instead, you kept things ambiguous, making them think there was still a chance and work tirelessly for you..."
Miura Yumiko angrily made the final judgment: "People who take advantage of others' affection for them and force them to do things for them... people who do such things... are nothing but scum! Worst! The worst!"
After being evaluated like this and having his innermost thoughts exposed, Aki Tomoya's face finally turned pale.
Sure enough, compared to attacking his disgusting fantasy, this is the real key to breaking his defense!

Chapter 125: What’s the point of not taking this God-given opportunity?
"It's clearly just a fantasy you're pursuing, but you're using their affection for you to bind them to this meaningless fantasy. Have you really even fooled yourself? Do you really think they're helping you just for this fantasy of yours?"
Songzhi Zi raised an eyebrow and questioned, "After all, what can you possibly give them in return for all the sacrifices they've made for you? Or do you really think that since they're all 'voluntarily' doing this, then of course you don't need to do anything, and that they deserve it anyway?"
"Of course not!"
Aki Tomoya couldn't help but immediately retort.
Songzhi Zi asked: "What exactly is it?"
Faced with such questioning, Aki Tomoya hesitated and was unable to answer.
