Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: In This Life, I Will Not Be a Losing Dog!

Ever since that day's encounter, Aki Tomoya had been restless and absent-minded, that day's scene replaying over and over in his mind.

Clearly, it was supposed to be his perfect encounter, so why did that guy appear?

These past few days, he had already figured it out, he must create a beautiful girl romance game that belongs to him. For this dream, he contacted Eriri, whom he hadn't spoken to for many years since elementary school.

Although Eriri's attitude toward him wasn't very good, Aki Tomoya believed that it was just Eriri's tsundere nature acting up. As long as he sincerely asked after meeting, Eriri would definitely agree.

Next was that girl, his heroine. On the day school started, Aki Tomoya realized that the two of them were actually classmates.

It's just that this classmate Kato didn't seem to care much about his request, and didn't want to join his club to make a beautiful girl game together. But as long as he sincerely asked, and made her understand his determination to make the game, she would definitely agree, right?

Aki Tomoya was exactly the kind of guy who didn't care at all about what others thought.

As soon as the teacher announced dismissal, Aki Tomoya came to Eriri's class. But he didn't see that familiar golden-haired figure here, which made Aki Tomoya frown.

'Where is she?'

After that confession incident back then, Aki Tomoya had been secretly keeping an eye on Eriri. He cared a lot about Eriri, but Aki Tomoya's inferiority complex made it hard for him to lower his head.

This time's encounter with Kato, what truly moved him was not the encounter like a prince and princess, but a script that perfectly fit his fantasy, one that belonged only to him, an ordinary heroine met an ordinary protagonist, and the two spent an ordinary life together.

Ordinariness was indeed a kind of happiness. To Aki Tomoya, ordinariness meant controllability, no unexpected events would occur.

In a beautiful girl game, as long as you follow the strategy to capture the heroine, no accidents would happen. But if his relationship with Eriri got closer, someone ten times better than him in every aspect would definitely appear and snatch Eriri away.

Just like Shin-chan suddenly appearing during that encounter day.

Only an ordinary heroine was the most suitable for him. And if she had a low presence, not easily noticed by others, even better…

———

Just as the teacher had announced dismissal, Eriri impatiently ran out of the classroom.

From the reunion group, she had already learned that Shin-chan was her underclassman. Originally, she had some complaints about Toyonozaki, Shuchiin, and Sobu High's merger, but now she was very grateful.

She was Shin-chan's upperclassman, she must get to know Shin-chan in advance and spend a happy and joyful life with him!

But after rushing to Shin-chan's class, she didn't see that boy she longed for day and night.

"Um, excuse me."

Eriri gathered her courage and asked a student in the class. "Do you know where Nohara Shinnosuke went?"

"He was called to the office by Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, just left not long ago."

"I see, thank you."

After getting the answer, Eriri was thinking about whether to go to the teacher's office to find Shin-chan, when she turned her head and saw a figure both familiar and unfamiliar, and she froze on the spot.

Long reddish-brown hair, princess-style hairstyle, Shuchiin's school uniform worn like a wealthy young lady's.

Taller than Eriri by a bit, about 164cm, the most eye-catching was her full figure, looked like a D-cup?

Suotome Ai, the young lady of the Suotome family, simply a perfect noble daughter, even more fitting of a wealthy young lady's image than Eriri.

The Sawamura family was far inferior to the Suotome family, not even on the same level of existence. However, her father was a diplomat and also Sakurakoku's ambassador to Japan, so in terms of status, there wasn't too much difference.

Eriri didn't know her personally, but she was so emotional now because in another world, this Suotome family's young lady was Shin-chan's ex-girlfriend. Because she had to inherit the family, she chose to break up with Shin-chan. For this, Shin-chan was depressed for a long time.

Suotome Ai stared at Eriri in front of her with an arrogant look. 'Why is the Sawamura family's only daughter looking for Shin-chan? Do the two of them know each other?'

The two stared at each other. Eriri inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

Was this pressure from the legal wife? If one really had to say, this person in that world had actually been her mistress for a time, and even liked making her watch the two of them…

'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!'

Thinking of something, Eriri instantly decided she'd better run away, gave Suotome Ai an elegant smile, turned around and was about to leave.

"Sawamura-senpai, are you looking for Shin-chan?" Suotome Ai suddenly spoke, stopping the turning Eriri.

"Just right, I'm also going. Let's go together."

"Ah?" Eriri's eyes widened, but saw that Suotome Ai had already walked in the direction of the teacher's office.

'Damn it.' Having made up her mind to never be a losing dog again, Eriri gathered her courage and chased after.

So what if she was the Suotome family's young lady? Wasn't it because of the family that she chose to break up with Shin-chan? She was different, her father and mother would definitely agree to her dating Shin-chan, even getting married.

Suotome Ai walked in front, while quietly observing the mixed-blood beauty beside her.

Golden long hair, blue pupils, slim and soft figure, though flat-chested, her hips were wider than her shoulders, lower body proportion was quite sexy.

Unfortunately, compared to herself, still far behind.

Very familiar with Shin-chan's aesthetic, Suotome Ai couldn't help but puff out her chest. 'Nothing to worry about.'

———

"Shin-chan, want to grab a bite to eat later?"

Kazama had rented a house near the school, but it wasn't in the same direction as Shin-chan's apartment. Since school ended early today, Kazama wanted to invite Shin-chan to have dinner together.

"I'm going to check out the kendo club. Maybe next time." Shin-chan shook his head. He had made an appointment with Aikou Rokushin today to check out Shuchiin's kendo club.

"Kendo club? I remember you haven't practiced kendo for a long time, right?"

"Yeah, it's been a while. But just as Teacher Hiratsuka said earlier, you probably heard it too, besides boxing and kendo, I'm not that interested in other sports."

Not far behind the two, Yukinoshita Yukino was eavesdropping the whole time. She had gotten another piece of information. 'Shin-chan seemed to really like boxing?

"Shin-chan."

Suddenly, a voice that both Shin-chan and Kazama found very familiar came.

"Ai?!"

Startled, the two turned around and saw a figure both familiar and unfamiliar. The girl stood gracefully not far away, looking at the two.
