110 Greening the protagonist Aki Tomoya

Not far behind Eiji, in a sports uniform and headband, a straight black-haired boy who covered his forehead with thick-rimmed sunglasses suddenly appeared.

From the expression on his ugly face, it was clear that he was angry and jealous of his position with Utaha right now.

Although Eiji was happy because with this the plot changed and he might be able to get quality rewards, he also sighed because...

[Protagonist, you came? Your appearance is exactly the same as the one I saw in the anime. An ordinary face, a nerdy aura, and that otaku aura... Put aside the appearance issue. But with your personality, if it wasn't for the author's wet dream, I don't know how you could be surrounded by beautiful girls like Utaha who are willing to help you and are crazy about you.]

[Aki Tomoya is the protagonist of the anime "Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata". Although this is not a harem anime because in the end the protagonist only chooses one heroine in the ending, but before reaching the ending, the protagonist has an ambiguous relationship with the other heroine].

[For example Utaha, the girl has been giving kisses and other things to the protagonist. In the end she didn't win at all and was defeated by another heroine in the anime].

[Another heroine too, Tomoya's childhood friend was just as stupid as Utaha. They had given a lot to the protagonist, but the protagonist didn't choose either of them in the end.]

[Actually, aside from seeing the heroines, I don't care about the plot and protagonists in that anime because it's boring!]

[Seeing that protagonist in front of my eyes too... Hey isn't this a good opportunity?]

Good opportunity?

Utaha was surprised by Tomoya's arrival and was a little happy to hear that not only was she a loss in the original work, there was also Tomoya's childhood friend. The annoying blonde girl was also at least a losing heroine like herself.

However, Utaha was confused by Eiji's next action as he suddenly grabbed her waist with one of his hands and hugged her.

The two of them were now facing Tomoya whose expression was getting ugly.

"Who are you?" Eiji raised his eyebrows, he looked at the protagonist with a condescending gaze and said. "You seem to be a second year student? Go and mind your own business, don't bother other people's business."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya who saw Utaha being hugged by another boy in front of him, he felt a green color above his head.

Although he did not think of his senpai that way, seeing one of the girls of his group being touched by another boy, he somehow felt uncomfortable.

Although he was intimidated by the superior aura that Eiji exuded.

The anger surging in his chest made him bold.

"Eiji Seiya, I say once again let Utaha Senpai go right now! If you continue to force her, I will..."

"You know me?" Eiji asked.

Tomoya raised his glasses slightly. "Of course! You're Eiji Seiya, the most famous playboy in this school! So seeing what you did to Utaha Senpai, I know you must have forced her!"

[I wonder if everyone in this school knows who I am just by appearance? My reputation as a playboy seems to be so widespread that the protagonist I just met for the first time even recognized my identity].

"Okay, so what? You seem to have misunderstood. Who's forcing whom? Does Utaha Senpai look like she's being forced by me?"

Utaha who felt Eiji's hand wrapped around her waist blushed. After all, other than her father, this was the first time a man had this much physical contact with her

Surprisingly she did not feel disgusted, she did not try to break away from Eiji's embrace and looked at the boy and Tomoya's confrontation curiously.

To be honest he was a little surprised that the usually quiet Tomoya dared to confront Eiji like this. It made her rethink about Tomoya and felt he might not be as bad as in the original work.

Seeing this, she planned to break away from Eiji's embrace before answering, but before she did, she heard Tomoya's voice in her head.

{Push and slap Eiji for daring to touch you, Senpai! After that, we can also report him to the teacher for daring to harass you! Even though I have no such feelings for you and only think of you as a good senpai, I'm still uncomfortable seeing you touched by another man}.

"Utaha Senpai! You were forced by him, right? Don't be afraid to answer, we're at school. We can report it to the teacher!" Tomoya asked with concern, but one could not clearly see his expression because of the glasses and bangs covering his face.

[Say it! Tell him that I forced you! Although I was a little surprised that Tomoya's voice could also be heard in my head, but whatever. It's not the first time something like this has happened to the protagonist].

[And Utaha, it's actually good if you go with the protagonist right now. I've finished doing my duty, I can get a reward. The rest is up to you whether you still remember licking the protagonist or not.]

[I don't care. As for reporting me to the teacher? Oh please, with Rias and Sona as the bosses behind the school, I don't have to worry.]

Eiji wanted to leave immediately, right from the start he did all this to collect rewards from the system by blabbing so much about the plot, heroine and protagonists around him.

Once he had enough, he wanted to become a hands-off employee immediately.

However, Utaha is...

"No, Seiya-kun didn't force me at all. Tomoya-kun, you misunderstood." Utaha said flatly and looked at Tomoya with her indifferent red eyes.

In those eyes there used to always be tenderness when looking at Tomoya, but now there was only indifference that made the boy surprised.

Not only that, Tomoya was also surprised that Utaha didn't call him "Rinri-kun" as usual!

Eiji looked at Utaha who was in his arms, she did not try to break away and even leaned her body on his chest casually as if he was a soft body rest.

Feeling the girl's soft body, Eiji almost died from weakness.

Just kidding.

But still. This heroine always didn't play cards according to routine.

What's wrong? Even if you don't obey what the protagonist says, you should at least also try to break away from me!

Protagonist is also stupid, he says that he doesn't like a girl as beautiful as Utaha who clearly likes him and only considers her a good senpai in his heart even though he feels possessive of her. Isn't that hypocritical and disgusting? At first he thought Tomoya was just dense and herbivorous on the surface because he didn't have any guts, but he didn't expect that in his heart, that boy was really a herbivore!

You really are a herbivorous protagonist! Even Rito and Issei are better than you, they at least have the desire to eat meat.

But you? Are you really a man? This protagonist... He really is an annoying romcom protagonist.

"I don't believe it! S-Senpai, you're lying because that boy threatened you with something, right? Otherwise, how could you not fight back when he cornered you against the wall and hugged you like that!"

Tomoya couldn't believe it, he actually convinced himself and thought Eiji was threatening Utaha with something like the plots he had read in those novels.

As an otaku, he was familiar with this kind of plot and felt the reason Utaha suddenly changed the way he called him was because of the threat from Eiji Seiya.

That bastard!

Tomoya ground his teeth and clenched his fists.

The more he thought about it, especially when the boy's hand touched his senpai's body, the angrier he became. It felt like someone had defiled his precious action figure!

Utaha's gaze grew colder, there was even a hint of disgust at the boy she used to like. Right, that was back then because now she knew how Tomoya felt about her from the voice that seemed to be his inner voice. And what disgusted her was Tomoya's possessiveness towards her even though he said that he didn't like her and only thought of her as a good senpai.

That's hypocritical and disgusting.

And Eiji, this boy, even though she wasn't sure what she meant by task and reward, he actually wanted to push her on Tomoya and just leave after knowing all this.

Utaha was annoyed, she did not leave the boy's embrace and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist.

In front of Tomoya.

They hugged each other like lovers.

[Is this heroine greedy for my body? Or is she so evil to give the protagonist a green hat in front of his eyes? If not, I don't know what it is!]

Utaha decided to ignore Eiji's voice that was like product advertisement on tv, she looked at Tomoya whose face looked dark when he saw her hugging Eiji and said. "Tomoya-kun, I said you misunderstood. Seiya-kun didn't threaten me or anything."

"Actually before he just confessed to me and wanted me to be his girlfriend. Then I..."

There was a slight blush on Utaha's cheeks as if she was embarrassed.

Eiji was dumbfounded.

[This heroine is shameless! She's acting. No, she's vindictive like in the original work! Damn it, who confessed to you? Earlier I only asked if you had a boyfriend or not to disgust you.]

[Since when did I confess to you and want you as my girlfriend?!]

Traveling to another world for 3 months, even in the previous world where he had lived for many years. This was the first time Eiji saw a heroine who was so good at twisting facts and she did it to make the protagonist feel green!

Utaha sneered in her heart, she did this because she wanted to take a little revenge on Tomoya for breaking her heart.

"Wh-What?! Senpai, you know Eiji Seiya is a famous playboy and bastard in our school, right? So about his confession, you must not..."

Tomoya felt his teeth itch, he wanted to quickly separate Utaha and Eiji's bodies that were sticking to each other, especially Utaha's hands hugging Eiji also made him panic!

{No! Utaha Senpai will definitely not accept a confession from a playboy like Eiji! Please... Senpai, you wouldn't be so stupid as to throw yourself into a fire pit, right?}

[Hey I feel like this rumor that I'm a playboy is too much. Who's spreading these rumors? They must be single dogs who are jealous that I'm liked by so many pretty girls!]

Eiji, please be quiet.

Tomoya's inner voice aside, but Eiji's voice made Utaha want to laugh.

Even so, her acting skills were fortunately quite good. With some embarrassment, she said: "I know, but those are just rumors spread by people who are jealous of Seiya-kun. Seiya-kun is actually quite good, although he's a bastard for having many women."

Eiji's lips twitched, he wasn't sure if Utaha was praising him or mocking him when the person he was mocking hugged him

And protagonist, you're happy too soon, aren't you?

Although Utaha's words at the beginning made Tomoya even more panicked, but he felt that the girl was indeed unwilling to accept Eiji's confession which made him a little happy.

Utaha knew Eiji was a bastard who had many women, a boy like that, his senpai would definitely not...

"I don't mind being his girlfriend. I accept it. So Tomoya-kun, even though we're basically coworkers and you're my junior, you shouldn't talk bad about my boyfriend, okay?"

Utaha looked at Tomoya with an indifferent gaze again as she said that.

"No! Senpai, you can't be his girlfriend!" Tomoya shouted as if pleading, the eyes behind his glasses reddened with the emotion welling up in his heart.

He was angry, and there were also other feelings that he did not understand as a dense romcom protagonist that made him unwilling for Utaha to date another man.

In the original work, Tomoya never experienced the situation where the girls around him were hunted by other men. As the protagonist, the heroines always surround him and pursue him while ignoring other men.

Unless the anime ending is approaching, Tomoya doesn't have to think hard to realize the heroines' feelings for him and focuses on his work while enjoying the tenderness of the heroines. Although there is also some drama, but in the end the heroines are still loyal to him and do not look for other men.

Tomoya in the original work really lived without worrying about other men stealing his girls because the author also didn't want to make his protagonist have a green hat.

But now? Too bad in this chaotic world there is Eiji whose existence is a green signal for the protagonists. Even if he has no intention of seducing the heroines, the heroines themselves take the initiative to seduce him.

He certainly didn't take what Utaha said seriously because he knew the girl was deliberately pretending to be his girlfriend to hurt the protagonist's fragile heart.

The girl is more vengeful than the original work.

Eiji was a little sad for the protagonist, but since it had come this far. He didn't mind coming into play and avenging the heroine who dared to use him.

He hugged the girl's soft waist which made her moan slightly and glared at him with a red face.

Eiji sneered.

[Since you said I'm your boyfriend. Don't blame me for using you in front of the protagonist!]

[What? Even if you hate me after this I don't care!]

This guy is too domineering and bold, right?

Even so, Utaha actually didn't hate it, not even feeling disgusted as Eiji's hands roamed around her stomach. It's strange, but she really doesn't mind Eiji doing it this much, especially in front of Tomoya who she now slightly hates for being too dense and hypocritical.

"You! Take your dirty hands off Utaha Senpai! I can't believe Utaha Senpai agreed to date you."

"You must have threatened her!"

Tomoya was not making sense. It seemed like the protagonists were always good at making up stories in their brains when things didn't work out in the original work.

"You're called Tomoya, right? Utaha Senpai agreed to be my girlfriend. Who are you to forbid her from dating someone? Are you her family? Her father?"

"I..."

Seeing Tomoya open his mouth and at a loss for what to say. That's right, he was actually just Utaha's junior who happened to have a pretty good relationship with her and they were basically coworkers.

He hired Utaha as a scriptwriter in his group that aimed to create visual novel that was planned to be sold at the Summer Comicat next month to make money.

Although they were still high school students, they were not prohibited from working outside of school hours. Just as Utaha was making money from her novel while attending school, Tomoya was already making his own money from live broadcasting on his personal website.

However, due to his lack of income and his interest in visual novel software, Tomoya formed a craze. In order to form a group or crycle, he has invited talented and suitable girls to help him.

There were his childhood friend, his senpai, and his classmate. Utaha was one of them, and he could actually be considered her boss and maybe a good junior? Tomoya wasn't sure, he himself didn't know why he had strictly forbidden Utaha to date a boy, especially Eiji who was a notorious playboy and...

{That's right! I'm doing this for Utaha Senpai's sake! If it was another boy it might be fine, but Eiji Seiya? He's a playboy! As good junior, I can't let Utaha Senpai date that boy!}

"I'm only Utaha Senpai's junior. Even so, we have a good relationship! We're friends! I don't know how you threatened Utaha Senpai to be your girlfriend."

"But for sure I won't let you become Senpai's boyfriend!"

Utaha who heard the inner voice and "We're friends" from Tomoya's mouth looked at the boy with disappointment.

Friend Zone...

Eiji laughed remembering these two words. The brain circuitry of the innocent romcom protagonist was completely different from that of the harem protagonist. However, there were still similarities between the two.

What was it?

Well they are both hypocrites.

They say that they don't like a girl, but they can't see her dating another boy.

They will make excuses that the boy is not good enough for that girl and it is better not to date other boys at all and stay by their side.

Eiji originally had no plans to deal with the protagonist of this franchise, but now...

He smiled, that smile looked very handsome, but Utaha and Tomoya felt that smile was evil.

"I said who are you to meddle in Utaha Senpai's affairs? Hearing your answer, you are still not worthy."

"If you doubt whether I threatened Utaha senpai or not. Let's see, why don't we prove it?"

"Prove?" Tomoya snorted and said, "How do you prove it? You clearly threatened Utaha Senpai to..."

Before Tomoya finished his words, before his eyes, Eiji lifted Utaha's chin with his hand and bowed his head.

The girl looked surprised, but before she could say anything, her mouth was silenced by Eiji's lips.

"Woooo..."

"!!!" Tomoya widened his eyes until his glasses almost fell off.

His head felt greener than ever and his heart ached because that playboy, Eiji dared to kiss Utaha in front of his eyes!

Prove, what prove? You playboy, this is how you prove things?!

Tomoya suddenly regretted, he regretted letting Eiji prove his innocence.

And it was quite successful because in front of his eyes, even if Utaha was threatened, she would at least show a little resistance, right?

But what did he see now? He saw Utaha wrap her arms around the boy's neck and close her eyes as if enjoying the kiss.
