According to the address given on the phone, Haru came to the elementary school building.
Because it was late at night, the school's light was turned off, and the surrounding area was dark. Only the twilight and the street lights on the side of the road brightened the night sky. The mottled walls of the school building could be vaguely seen, and the night breeze was roaring, the rustle of the leaves, and blowing in the empty school.
In this slightly uncomfortable atmosphere, a girl was sitting on the flower bed, and her fair and white skin looked pale tonight.
At this moment, she buried her head between her knees, her shoulders shrugged, and the sound of her sobbing was heard.
To be honest, if Haru didn't know the cause of the event, he might think the girl in front of him was a ghost. After all, who would come to this empty building alone in the middle of the night?
Looking at this girl for a while, Haru walked over without hesitation since he knew that this girl was Eriri, the girl that he had been looking for. While guessing what had happened to her, he walked toward her and sat beside her. "Rejected?" In truth, his mood wasn't that good, after all, Eriri called him in the middle of the night when he was spending his time with his girls, but he could see this girl was just being rejected by a guy. Luckily Eriri was a beautiful girl. If she wasn't, then he wouldn't bother to talk.
Eriri was stunned for a bit, then wiped the tears on her eyes, looking at him, and asked, "Haru, compared to Kotonoha Katsura, which one do you think is better between us?"
"Kotonoha?"
Haru raised his eyebrow and said, "Isn't the answer obvious? It's you." For some people, Kotonoha was better since the 2D girl wouldn't hurt them, and he also had to admit that Eriri was slightly troublesome, but 2D and 3D girl, which one better, there was no need to say much, right?
"Hehe." Eriri laughed and stood up. "I want to try to drink. Let's go somewhere!"
Haru looked at Eriri for a bit and nodded. "Well, let's go."
Looking at Haru, Eriri couldn't help but shake his head when he thought Tomoya, even though this guy was a pervert and had a lot of girls, Haru knew how to make a girl happy, and at the same time, she couldn't help but recall what had happened an hour ago.
---
After leaving a post on his blog, Tomoya leaned back on the chair and let out a sigh of relief. His eyes returned to the computer screen and looked at the game screen of the "School Days" that he played. He was so excited before that he directly smashed the computer screen, so he didn't see the final ending of the "Bad End." Then without hesitation, he decided to play the game again. After killing Saionji Sekai, Kotonoha then looked at Makoto Ito, but then Makoto Ito cut Kotonoha's wrist because of a scare.
In the end, Kotonoha gently put her scarf on Makoto and then said gently, "You will catch a cold," before tears fell from her eyes and she died due to excessive blood loss.
"What a nice girl!"
Tomoya burst into tears on the spot, regretting his previous harem choice, and at the same time, he made up his mind to focus on Kotonoha without hesitation, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door. He raised his eyebrow, then opened the door, but he didn't expect to see Eriri was there.
Originally, Eriri wanted to join everyone in the Tabletop Gaming Club to have a party, but when she thought about what had happened on the Summer Comiket before, she couldn't help but come to visit Tomoya. "Why didn't you buy my book?" She asked that question to him directly.
Tomoya went to the Summer Comiket and also came to the Doujin area and bought a lot of items, but he turned a blind eye to Eriri's book, which caused her to feel suffocated from the fire of burning anger on her heart.
"Didn't I read your book? I helped you draw your doujinshi before, right?"
Regarding Eriri's question, Tomoya felt confused and said, "And isn't School Days also your work?"
"It's not the same! These two are not the same at all!"
Eriri clenched her hands and yelled at Tomoya almost hysterically.
However, in the face of extremely angry Eriri, Tomoya also pushed the frame of his glasses and lowered his head slightly. "So making the "School Days" is just your means to achieve your goal?"
Eriri frowned and said, "Since the incident seven years ago, do you know how painful and regretful I have been in my heart? Over the years, I have been wearing masks outside, painting desperately at home, in order to fight our dream and say "in your face" to all the people who have separated us, and in order to get back our relationship before..."
"Apologize to me..."
"What did you say?"
Having interrupted, Eriri's eyes widened since she didn't expect her words that were almost confession would be stopped by Tomoya's response.
"I said, apologies to me!"
Tomoya raised his head and yelled loudly. "Apologies for that Godly work! Apologies for the "School Days"! Apologies to Kotonoha, who has worked so hard to live!"
Eriri raised her eyebrow and looked at Tomoya in disbelief. "You asked me to apologize to a fictional character?!"
"Fictional character?! Kotonoha is the best girl out there! This is due to your lack of love for the 2D that we come to this fight, right? Seven years ago, I didn't know anything about the gal game. It was you who taught me and dragged me into the world of otaku! Faced with everyone's gaze and alienation of the students around me, I chose to resist, but you have forsaken me, gal game, which is the thing that we love, and chose those new friends! I will never forgive you for this matter!!"
Tomoya's almost crazy reaction caused Eriri to take two steps back subconsciously. She shook her head subconsciously and muttered. "This kind of thing... it was caused by your own action, right?" It was because Tomoya couldn't understand his surroundings that everyone started to alienate them. If Tomoya had the power to protect both of them from everyone, then it would be alright, but he couldn't and kept ignoring everyone and continued to love the world of otaku, but she couldn't do that, if she could do that, then why should she only invite him before?
"Apologize to me!"
Tomoya also interrupted Eriri again with a loud voice. "In order to achieve your own goals, you use those cute characters in 2D as your own tools! Eriri, you have become a dirty person!"
"Dirty?!"
Eriri began to tremble all over and took a step back again. Her whole body was attached to the door before she looked at him again. "If I don't apologize? If I don't apologize to Kotonoha?"
"Then please go out now."
Tomoya also pointed to the door and said calmly.
"........"
Eriri looked at Tomoya for a while and said, "I love you."
"......" Tomoya was dumbfounded, but...
*Slap!*
Eriri slapped Tomoya's face directly with tears in her eyes and said, "I have loved you before, but now, let's say goodbye."
"..."
Tomoya was standing there silly, holding his cheek was slapped by Eriri. The crisp slap in the night sky was particularly loud, and it happened that there was music playing on his computer.
<BGM: Kanashimi no Mukou e - School Days>
"If I could struggle to the other side of sorrow
I don't need warmth or even a tomorrow anymore."
My falling dream which landed in the silent darkness
"Who...?" The light that trickled off your cheek was transient."
In this BGM, Eriri opened the door and dashed into the night sky.

Then Eriri was in her elementary school when she met Tomoya for the first time, but the one who accompanied her wasn't Tomoya, but Haru.
Both of them walked next to each other on this quiet night and were about to leave the elementary school building, but...
"Hey, who is that?!"
Eriri was dumbfounded, and she panicked! "Haru, hurry up and run! I don't want to be caught!"
"It's your fault to meet in this kind of place?" Haru said without hesitation.
"Shut up!" Eriri shouted, but she didn't want to be caught by the security!
"I'll run and leave you there," Haru said.
"No! Bring me!" Eriri quickly grabbed Haru's shirt when she heard his words, and she even began to panic when she heard the shout from the security.
"Wait, don't run!"
"Haru!"
"Jump on my back," Haru said calmly.
Eriri nodded and quickly jumped into his back, but suddenly her cute butts were grabbed by Haru. Her face quickly turned red, and she quickly fought back, "You bastard! What the hell? We're being chased after by security, but you're touching my butts!"
"Sorry, it can't be helped. I can't see well in the dark," Haru said smoothly. "Then hurry up and hug me, or you'll fall." He then quickly ran, which caused Eriri to panic and hugged his neck subconsciously.
"Wait!!" The security was dumbfounded when he saw Haru was running so fast and he couldn't chase after them anymore.
Eriri sighed in relief, but at the same time, she laughed since all the worry in her heart disappeared without a trace at this moment. She then noticed that she was hugging him so hard that it made her blush at that moment.
"Eriri, can you not hug me so hard? Your ribs are hurting me," Haru said plainly.
"........"
Eriri was stunned for a few seconds before she hit him with her ponytail. "You bastard!"
"Stop! Stop!"
Looking at Haru, who acted like her twin-tail attack was hurting him, Eriri couldn't help but laugh and hug him again. She snuggled onto the back of his neck and felt comfortable that she sought after. "Say, Haru."
"Hmm?"
"No - Nothing!" Eriri quickly shook her head with a red face.
"Let's go back to my house," Haru said.
"Ok," Eriri said.
"You know, it feels like my home has become your second house for some reason," Haru said.
Eriri's face was red, and she asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh? It can be anything, right?" Haru said with a smile.
"Pervert! "
"Yes, yes."
Eriri blushed and hid her face again. She didn't dare to look at him since she knew the meaning of this guy's words, but well, she didn't hate it, though.
