Two days later.
"Alright, this is where our class ends. Goodbye students."
"Goodbye Shimizu-sensei"
The beautiful female teacher then left the classroom.
All of the students started packing their things before leaving.
The two curious bastards went to see Yuzuru.
"Hey, let's grab something to eat!" Misumi said as he held Yuzuru's shoulders.
But Yuzuru just kept staring blankly outside the window.
Hiro waved his hands in front of Yuzuru' face.
But his reaction didn't change.
'Something must have happened in his meeting with his partner.' Hiro said in his mind.
'Right, right! Maybe she dumped him the moment she saw Yuzuru.' Misumi answered as if he heard what Hiro said in his mind.
'Let's wake him up!' Misumi added as if he and Hiro had the power of telepathy.
He then raised his hands and hit Yuzuru's head really hard.
Only then he finally regained his senses.
"Ouch!!! What are you doing?! Are you trying to kill me?!" Yuzuru said as he held his head.
The two looked at each other and made a thumbs up.
'Good job!' they told each other, in their imaginations.
"I should be the one asking you that! What were you doing just now?" Misumi grunted.
"Also, what happened to the meeting with Erowriter-" Hiro said but Yuzuru suddenly covered his friend's mouth.
"Shhh! She might hear you!" Yuzuru whispered as he looked around.
"Let's talk somewhere else." he added as he grabbed the two bastard's hand and left.
----------
At the garden.
The three boys bought canned juice and candy bars before going to the garden.
The mesmerizing figure of the three handsome young men sitting on a bench with a bunch of flowers as background, made the people around drool.
But the worried face of Yuzuru suddenly ruined the entire scene. He looked like someone who's being chased by loan sharks, or someone who just got a death penalty...ok, enough jokes.
Anyway, he really looked disturbing...I mean, disturbed.
"Hey, hey! What happened! Just say it already!" Misumi is getting bored.
"My partner... Erowriter-sensei..." Yuzuru said.
"She...she's...she was" he added.
"Speak clearly!" Misumi is getting more impatient.
Yuzuru checked his surroundings for some traces of Haruka Tachibana. He found none.
Then he looked at his two friends' faces.
"Erowriter-sensei, my partner, was actually...Haruka Tachibana" he said in a voice that can only be heard by the small ants on the ground.
"What? Your partner was what?" eben Hiro is getting really curious.
"Are you deaf?" Yuzuru complained.
"Are you mute?!" the two answered angrily.
"I said, Haruka Tachibana is Erowriter." Yuzuru repeated in a voice that can only be heard by Misumi and Hiro's naked ears, finally. He was scared of Haruka's prescence.
"What?!" the two boys couldn't believe their own ears.
Their bestfriend's partner in making a manga, an erotic manga at that, is actually the girl that he admires, the beautiful, elegant, and respected student of their school, Haruka Tachibana.
"Did I hear that right?" Hiro said as he scratched his ears.
"Can you repeat what you just said, our ears weren't working properly." Misumi exagerrated.
"You heard it clearly, Erowriter is Haruka Tachibana." he repeated.
"What?!?!"
Yuzuru explained the whole incident to the innocent ones.
After a while...
"I see, I see, so, has she contacted you?" Hiro said while scratching his chin.
"No, not yet. I don't think I can answer her properly if she ever talk to me anyway. I think it's for the better." he answered.
"I see, I see..." Hiro replied.
While the two were talking, they didn't notice Misumi's gleaming face.
Suddenly, Misumi pulled Hiro's ears and whispered something. Yuzuru can't figure out what he's saying.
'I wonder what they are doing?'
He observed the two boys whispering to each other as if they are planning to do something evil...er, maybe not.
He saw Hiro suddenly changing his expression from curious to enlightened one.
'What the heck are they doing?!'
After a few minutes...
"Hey, should I leave?" Yuzuru asked as he yawned.
The two finally let go of each other. They were brimming with joy, as if they were women announcing to their husbands that they're finally having a baby after 10 years of marriage...anyway, it was totally weird.
"My beloved brother, Yuzuru... You like Haruka Tachibana-san right?" Misumi asked with an expression as if he was bitten by tiny ants all over his body.
"Yes, I do, but, you already know the situation. It will be pretty awkward to ask her to go out with me now." he said in a depressed tone.
"We found a way to give you a chance to make a move at her!" Hiro said.
'Here we are again!!!' Yuzuru thought.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" he got up.
"Wait, wait, hear me out!" Misumi said as he grabbed his wrist.
Yuzuru decided to hear them out. Who knows? It might actually be a good plan.
"We...plan to force her to join the club!" Hiro said.
'What the hell!' Yuzuru thought as he got up again.
Misumi didn't grab his wrist this time. Instead...
"You know that she's Erowriter right?!" he said in a rather loud voice, no one else is in the garden anyway.
Yuzuru stopped in his tracks.
"We might be able to force her to join the club, if you get her to choose one: join the art club, or be branded as an erotic manga author forever!" he added.
Yuzuru sat on the bench once again.
"So, what's the plan?"
The two bastards grinned widely.
------------
Rooftop
"Tachibana-san we both know Eromanga-sensei's true identity..." Yuzuru seductively said as he slammed Hiro against the wall.
These three bastards went to the rooftop to practice Yuzuru's "wall slam" to win Haruka in the Art Club.
Hiro will act as Haruka and Misumi will judge Yuzuru's acting.
"Feel it Yuzuru! Act naturally!" Misumi shouted. No one else is in the rooftop anyway.
"So what?" Hiro acted fierce like Haruka Tachibana.
The scene was...GROSS!
"And I don't intend to hide it from anyone." Yuzuru said calmly.
"What?" Hiro acted worried.
"You...you can't do this to me, Hayama-senpai" he added as he tried to look as cute as he can.
"That's right! You're doing great!" Misumi commented.
"Then join the Art Club with me!" Yuzuru said as he tried to endure Hiro's disgusting expression.
"Then...I'm choosing to be with you!" Hiro looked more cute, or rather, disgusting as ever.
Misumi was delighted.
"Yes! Let's be together, forever!" Yuzuru shouted as he tried not to reach his limit.
