Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

"Wait—that's not the case, it's not like that!!"

An Yi defended himself at the top of his lungs, his gestures looking clumsy and funny.

"That plagiarism thing wasn't done by me! That was done by Xingjian!! If you don't believe me, you can find a way to check it yourself--"

"Oh? Are you sure, Ethics-kun?"

At this moment, Shiyu, who had been silent all the time, smiled sweetly.

"Whose LAN IP address did you find? You still don't know after all this time, do you?"

She made the most terrifying declaration to Tomoya Aki in the gentlest tone.

“………Eh?”

And after a brief pause, Tomoya Aki's brain quickly reacted - he understood the implication of Shiyu's words, and even his lips turned pale.

——Yes, that’s it.

At this moment, a blonde girl who was sitting on the rooftop, swinging her legs leisurely and looking at the lecture hall in the opposite teaching building with a smile like an audience watching a play, lifted her hair.

This is the approach proposed by Hayasaka Ai.

The fact that Hoshimi had plagiarized was completely erased, and the last stain on Hoshimi was removed with the lie and falsehood that "the person who plagiarized was actually Tomoya Aki".

Of course, this was the foreshadowing that Hayasaka Ai had been laying before. Now, when re-investigating the real information of writer K, the only personal information that can be found is that of Aki Tomoya.

She replaced everything quietly and secretly.

Since no one likes to hear the truth and everyone prefers exaggerated and dramatic lies - then there is no need to reveal the whole story from the beginning.

Cover up lies with lies and pile up lies with lies.

As long as she can achieve the goal of saving Hoshimi, Hayasaka Ai doesn't care what means she uses.

And Shiyu is just the confidant asked by Hayasaka, who is unable to show up in public. In fact, it is cruel enough for Shiyu to play this heartless role herself.

Hayasaka Ai, the mastermind behind everything, sat up from the bench and looked with interest at the lecture hall not far below, while turning up the volume of her headphones.

As expected, Aki Tomoya is now scolding Shiyu for "slandering good people" and "using despicable means". He seems to be so angry that he is about to lose his mind.

Hayasaka didn't care at all about the insults that were in a roundabout way. She just listened to Aki Tomoya cursing and complaining about the injustice that happened to her with a gentle mood of "letting you vent your anger for the last time" and smiled.

——After all, it is still unknown whether Aki Tomoya will have the opportunity to vent his anger as unscrupulously as he does now.

----

That's how Xiao Ai does it. Why are you arguing with someone like Midori about the correctness of revenge? The more you constrain yourself, the more rampant he becomes, and in the end, you'll be the one who suffers.

This time I will be so happy until the end of this volume, and fly straight to the stratosphere! The bosses who are frivolous can vote and leave a "comfortable" here (funny)

Xing Jianqing Can't Be Alone Again: Chapter 10: Symphony of Interplay (Part 2)

Hayasaka Ai knew that her style of doing things was not at all upright.

If it can be said that Tomoya Aki secretly exposed the fact that Hoshimi plagiarized and leaked his personal information on the Internet to stir up trouble, which was a villain taking advantage of his misfortune, then she is now confusing right and wrong and using the power of public opinion to stir up a bloody storm.

Neither of their methods may be very fair, but Hayasaka Ai doesn't care about that.

Why can evildoers act with impunity when they commit crimes, but when victims fight back, a group of moral role models will rush out to set all kinds of rules and regulations, saying, "What's the difference between you and evildoers?"

Do you have to worry about whether your swing is correct when you hit a dog? Obviously not.

No matter how dirty the means are, even if they are more shameful than those of Tomoya Aki - as long as they are useful, Hayasaka Ai will act without hesitation.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because Tomoya Aki "deserves" this reward.

This is just as dark, and just as filled with malice - it's just Hayasaka Ai's revenge.

She doesn't care what others think, nor does she care whether the truth is distorted. As long as she can achieve her goal, nothing else matters.

Who made Aki Tomoya touch someone he shouldn't have touched?

The blonde girl watched from afar as if she was watching a monkey show, watching Aki Tomoya, who was furious in front of Shiyu. After a while, she lost interest and took off her headphones.

The rooftop where she was could see the lecture hall and also peek down at what was happening inside the auditorium.

Hayasaka Ai turned around and shifted her gaze to the auditorium further away.

Through the glass window, she could barely see the stiff back of the black-haired boy standing on the podium.

"........."

The girl didn't say anything, but a hint of tenderness flashed in her cold and ruthless eyes.

You'll be fine soon, Xiaoqing.

"Well then, next..."

Her gaze moved briefly, and finally stopped at the gray-haired girl in a white coat at the auditorium entrance, and the short-haired black-haired girl standing beside her with a calm expression.

——The fun has just begun.

"Senior, the methods you used are too despicable and shameless! Everyone, listen carefully to me, this is really not the case-"

Although Tomoya Aki argued hard and tried to restore his image in the eyes of the students in the auditorium, the noisy crowd and the suspicious looks from everyone were all attacking his psychological defenses.

"It's pointless to keep quibbling now that things have come to this, Aki."

Just at this moment, a lazy yet extremely resounding female voice broke the noisy and impetuous atmosphere.

With her hands tucked into the pockets of her white coat, a gray-haired girl with an indifferent and cold expression appeared from the stairs, then walked slowly up to the podium with an expressionless face.

"...?"

Xingjian was stunned and subconsciously wanted to call out her name - but Futaba gave him a cold look. After she hinted at him with a look that said "Shut up, you bastard", he obediently closed his lips without making a sound.

"I know everything about the cause and effect of the incident."

Futaba walked to the center of the podium as if no one was around, and glanced lazily at Hoshimi. The black-haired boy understood and gave the main stage to her.

"I remember this person... he's the head of our school's science department, right?"

"Is that the science club with only one member?"

"Really? There's no need to bring up such a boring thing and emphasize it."

Faced with the whispers of the audience below the stage, Futaba seemed a little impatient.

"The most important thing right now is that the members of the club that Tomoya Aki and I founded are all good friends, so I know everything about them."

Futaba cleared her throat, and then, in a calm tone that was no different from usual, she made the accusation against Tomoya Aki.

"There's a girl in their club who doesn't have a lot of presence. She's been harassed by Aki for a long time. She's been asking her to stay overnight at her house, and she's been jealous and won't let her sit down at dinner with her family. She's been suffering a lot from this for a long time."

"what??"

“What?! How could this happen…?”

"Hey, hey, it's bad enough that you're looking at the pot while having your cake and eating it, but you're also harassing girls?"

“Isn’t that too much?!”

The crowd, who were devoted to the spirit of "eating melons", became noisy again because of Futaba's narration. Even many students from the school had gathered outside the auditorium to watch the fun.

Futaba glanced coldly at the auditorium door which was already packed with people. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the school leaders noticed this farce.

And on the big screen, the face of Aki Tomoya, whose past deeds were fully exposed, became increasingly pale.

But compared to the embarrassment and shame of having his past exposed, what lingered in his heart at this moment was more confusion and doubt.

"No - wait, Futaba, how come you know all this?! Obviously -"

"You haven't mentioned these things to anyone, have you?"

The gray-haired girl chuckled softly, but when she looked at An Yi's huge face on the screen, there was only coldness in her eyes.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer, Aki. Anyone who tells me these things must be the person involved."

“………Eh?”

At this moment, a girl with short black hair who had been leaning against the auditorium door crossed her palms and listened quietly to all the conversations happening behind her with a calm and natural posture.

Kato Megumi did not show any different attitude towards this. She just raised her eyebrows when Aki Tomoya was stunned.

"...You must be kidding, Kato...why is she too——"

"That's about enough for now, Tomoya Aki."

Before the distraught Aki was about to reveal Kato's real name to the public, Futaba frowned and interrupted him with her loud voice.

In fact, this was also part of the plan arranged by Hayasaka Ai - Futaba, who reached a consensus with her, was just an executor who accepted the plan and followed orders.

Of course, Kato Megumi, who told her this information so that Futaba could use it, was also one of the people who agreed with this plan, but she was not suitable for the front battlefield.

Kato has another battlefield.

If Aki Tomoya exposes Kato, the "real heroine of the club," in public at this time, the subsequent developments will be difficult.

"…Just as Futaba-san said, Ethics-kun."

Shiyu, who was also in the live broadcast, waited until Futaba finished her statement, then stood up slowly and turned her eyes to Aki Tomoya, whose pupils were already shaking.

"But I won't be so soft-hearted as to leave it at that—shall we settle the accounts?"

Yes, even at this point, Hayasaka Ai’s plan is not over yet.

Sitting on the rooftop, the blonde girl, who was the mastermind of all this but seemed to be as out of it as if she was just an enthusiastic spectator enjoying the farce, held her cheeks with her hands, and the smile on her face was particularly playful.

"How does it feel to be attacked by the people you thought were your constant companions, selflessly serving you, Tomoya Aki?"

However, while the corners of the girl's mouth, which looked playful and cute, were raised, there was also a hint of coldness and cruelty.

It's far from over.

Whatever I promised would happen, I will definitely do it.jpg

"Let's go over this from the beginning, Ethics-kun. That way, it'll be easier for everyone on the other side of the screen to offer fair and objective evaluations, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha casually put the fabric on the computer aside, adjusted the position of the camera, then turned with a smile to Aki Tomoya, who was standing in the center of the classroom with a pale face.

"Fair and objective—Senpai, stop it!!"

Although he had a lot to say, he was unable to refute himself and could only try his best to deny what Shiyu said. He wanted to walk up and push Shiyu away and forcibly press the computer screen, but because of the dozens of eyes staring at him on the screen, he couldn't do anything extremely rude.

"...It's better not to be so impatient, Ethics-kun. The worst thing a man can do is be impatient."

However, Shiyu seemed to have anticipated that An Yi would rush forward to stop her rashly, but she was not in a position to take action directly. The smile on her lips became more and more intense.

"What happened between you and me is already a cliché, and even bringing it up again seems pointless. However, when I was at my lowest and most obscure, you did lend a hand to me in my plight... For that, I express my most sincere gratitude."

Shiyu narrated this in a calm tone, then took a deep breath and politely bowed slightly to Aki Tomoya to express her gratitude.

"...But that incident and now are two different things."

The onlookers on the other side of the screen seemed a little impatient. It was obvious that what Shiyu was about to say was like the "match point" in a sports event - they were all secretly gearing up.

"Did you hear that just now? Kasumigaoka-senpai said that she is the light novel writer Kasumi Shiko."

"Oh, I know, I know. I've been following it. As for the blogger who recommended Kasumi Shiko and made her famous... it was that Taki-kun, right?"

"What TAKI-kun, who is that?"

"You definitely don't know this since you're not involved in the ACG world. He's a big V in the ACG world."

"There's nothing we can do. To outsiders, we just don't know who this guy is... So his real identity is Tomoya Aki from our school?"

The noisy discussions of the onlookers in the auditorium were clearly heard by An Yi even though they went over the microphone and the screen.

Shiyu also noticed An Yi's increasingly ugly expression, and said something that was a fatal blow in an extremely cold and merciless tone.

"—I admit, I did slowly develop feelings of admiration and respect for you. But you've always ignored my feelings and ignored them, preferring to play dumb and not even respond. You even invited me to join your creative team and start a business together without blushing or feeling any pain..."

Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled self-deprecatingly, but she didn't know who the sarcasm was directed at.

"...Do you really think that with our mediocre relationship, we can work together wholeheartedly?"

"Then I just need to have a clear conscience! What I originally asked of you, Senior, was your talent and creations from the beginning to the end—"

"What if I have a guilty conscience?"

Faced with Aki Tomoya's unyielding rebuttal, Shiyu just showed a somewhat melancholy and desolate smile on her face.

"It seems like you really haven't considered my feelings at all, working day and night beside the person I love—trying everything I can to pursue happiness and the man I love."
