Hearing Makoto call this story [White Album 2], Yotsuba tilted her head curiously and asked, "Why is it called '2'? Is there a part 1?"
Makoto reached out and pinched his wife's cheek, saying exasperatedly, "Don't interrupt me."
Then, he continued describing the story.
The more he talked, the more subtle the expressions on the faces of Eriri, who was ghostwriting, and the Nakano quintuplets became.
Several of them unconsciously clutched their stomachs.
Eriri's hand holding the brush began to tremble.
Finally, everyone wore expressions of 'stomach pain'.
Noticing the change in his girlfriends' expressions, the corners of Makoto's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
He suddenly understood Hajime Isayama's feelings.
In his past life, that bastard Hajime Isayama had said that he created his work to make readers suffer.
Back then, as a reader, Makoto had wondered if such a person was mentally deranged.
But now—
He felt he understood a little.
When he had played the game, White Album 2, in his past life, he had felt the same stomach pain the more he played.
Because this love triangle was truly special.
The essence of the story of these three people was that you could say none of them were wrong, or you could say all three were wrong.
Oh no, the male lead, Kitahara Haruki, was still a bastard.
But the two female leads could be said to be evenly matched.
Ogiso Setsuna, knowing full well that the male lead Kitahara Haruki and Touma Kazusa were in love with each other, to the point where only a confession was needed, took the initiative to confess to the male lead, intercepting him at the last moment.
The other female lead, Touma Kazusa, later slept with Kitahara Haruki while clearly knowing that he was in a relationship with Ogiso Setsuna.
Therefore, it was hard to say which female character was right and which was wrong.
From this, decades of fan opposition between the two female characters arose in the past life's anime fandom, giving birth to the famous saying, "Kazusa is the mistress, Setsuna is the bitch."
When Makoto got to the part where Kazusa was about to leave the country by plane, and Haruki could no longer suppress his feelings, embracing and kissing Kazusa goodbye in front of Setsuna—
"Stop!"
Nino and Miku rushed up at the same time, reaching out to cover Makoto's mouth.
Makoto showed an expression of satisfaction.
It felt like when, in his past life, he would see some 'crap' and share it with his friends. He couldn't suffer alone.
Finally breaking free from Nino and Miku's 'clutches', Makoto straightened his collar and turned to Ichika.
"Take this script to your director," Makoto said. "I think you'd be perfect to play Ogiso Setsuna."
Hearing this, Ichika was stunned for a moment, then joy appeared on her face.
She felt that if this movie were made, it would definitely be a hit. And as one of the female leads, she would definitely become famous.
Not to mention that just hearing Makoto's description, she had already empathized with the role.
And with the promotion of 'Screenplay by Nishikawa Makoto', viewers around the world would be curious to see what the Commander's script looked like.
Then, Ichika asked Makoto curiously, "Why do you think I'm suited to play Ogiso Setsuna?"
Makoto said without hesitation, "Because you're both very good at stealing men."
Yes, Ogiso Setsuna, knowing full well about Haruki and Kazusa's feelings, intercepted him at the most critical moment with her confession. That was a pretty bold move.
And in the original work, Ichika, when it came to competing with her sisters over a man, had the boldest and most numerous maneuvers among the four sisters.
Makoto felt that the two characters really had a lot in common in this regard.
Hearing Makoto's description, the four sisters and Eriri all looked at Ichika with strange expressions.
'Why did Makoto say she was good at stealing men?'
'Had Ichika done something to our man without our knowledge?'
"Wh-who are you calling good at stealing men?" Ichika's face turned bright red, and she couldn't help hitting Makoto's arm with the script, shouting in embarrassment.
Just then, Eriri raised her hand and asked, "Then who will play Touma Kazusa?"
Makoto thought for a moment. "Sakurajima Mai."
After all, both had long black hair. The resemblance was quite high.
Ichika nodded.
Just then,
Miku suddenly leaned over and kissed Makoto on the cheek.
Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba, Itsuki, and even Makoto himself were a bit surprised.
Because Miku was the most introverted of the five sisters, rarely acting so intimately with Makoto in front of others.
Miku's face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were very earnest.
"Makoto-kun, thank you."
Makoto was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"It's nothing. I just had the urge to write."
The next second, Makoto's expression changed.
"But, since my wife wants to thank me—"
Suddenly, Makoto pulled Miku into his arms and attacked her lips fiercely.
"Mmm—!"
Miku's hands symbolically pushed against his chest, then she gave up resisting.
Her body softened, and her arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck.
Amidst the exclamations of the other three sisters and Eriri, Makoto also pulled Nino, Yotsuba, and Itsuki into his embrace.
"Come here."
"Ah—"
Their voices mixed together, the room turning into chaos.
Nino struggled, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.
Yotsuba giggled and came closer.
Itsuki blushed, not knowing where to put her hands.
Miku was already dizzy from the kiss, her eyes somewhat glazed.
Eriri stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
"..."
Blushing, she turned to run.
Makoto reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Come here!"
"Ehh—?!"
Eriri was also pulled into the 'battle group'.
Ichika, holding the script, was completely numb.
She stood in the corner of the room, her mouth agape wide enough to fit a fist, watching the group rolling around on the bed.
'Hey, did you forget whose room this was?'
'This is my room!'
'My bed!'
"..."
Ichika opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
Then she saw Makoto look up and glance at her.
Ichika's heart suddenly pounded.
Her face turned bright red.
"I... I have something to do. I'm going out."
Leaving these words behind, she turned and ran out of the room.
Bang!
The door closed.
Ichika leaned against the wall in the hallway, both hands covering her burning cheeks, gasping heavily.
