My 2D anime story

In the isekai novels Su Yu had read—

Most protagonists lived in ordinary worlds before becoming literary plagiarists, using copied works to skyrocket to instant fame.

But he wasn't in a normal world.

This was an anime world, where the dominant literature was light novels.

Of course, some web novels could also become bestsellers here.

The problem was—

Even with enhanced memory, Su Yu couldn't recall that many stories in full detail.

He had watched tons of anime but had read very few light novels.

As for games?

Most of the ones he played were online games.

The only text-based adventure game he remembered… wasn't exactly suitable.

It was famous for one thing—

A "pat head" option in the choices, which had taught Su Yu the true power of headpats.

So, when it came to writing game scripts, he was completely clueless.

Yukino Yukinoshita had just thrown him a major challenge.

Looking at the expectation in Yui Yuigahama's eyes—

Su Yu sighed.

"…I'll give it a try."

"Really?! Su Yu-kun?"

Yui's eyes sparkled.

"Don't get your hopes up too high," Su Yu warned.

"Then… if you finish the script, I'll take care of the character designs and backgrounds! I'll work really hard on them!"

Yui clenched her small fists in determination.

"Su Yu-kun, I hope your story will be interesting."

Yukino smiled slightly.

"Yukinoshita-san, I hope that next time you smile—it'll be from the heart."

Su Yu looked at her.

Yukino paused.

Then, Su Yu lowered his head and went back to reading his notebook.

After Club Activities

As the sun set, the Service Club's activities came to an end.

Su Yu had finished another notebook.

The three of them walked out of Sobu High.

Yukino's family car had already arrived to pick her up.

Yui watched as Yukino got in before turning to Su Yu.

"…I'll walk you home."

Su Yu reached out naturally and took Yui's small hand.

"Mm."

Yui smiled sweetly, tightening her grip around his hand.

Together, they walked toward Yui's house.

The distance wasn't too far—just around two kilometers.

But given Su Yu's relationship with Yui now, walking her home was practically a daily quest.

A Game of Possibilities

"Su Yu-kun… do you think we can really make a game?"

Yui couldn't help but ask as they walked.

"If Yukinoshita-san decides to do something, there's nothing she can't accomplish."

Su Yu answered casually.

"…Because she's a rich ojou-sama?"

"No. Because she's Yukino Yukinoshita."

"…Huh?" Yui looked confused.

"You'll understand once you spend more time with her."

Su Yu didn't bother explaining further.

"…Su Yu-kun, why do you know so much about Yukinoshita-san?"

Yui hesitated before asking.

"…You and her…"

Su Yu stopped walking and looked at her.

"I've been in the Service Club for a month. Plus, I learned a few things from her sister, Haruno. I just put the pieces together."

"…What do you think our relationship is?"

"I… I…"

Yui's face turned slightly red.

"…If you kiss me, I'll forgive you."

Su Yu suddenly said.

"Wha—?!"

Yui's face instantly flushed.

She hesitated, then looked at Su Yu before tiptoeing up and giving him a quick, soft kiss on the cheek.

The kiss lasted less than a second—

But her face was already burning, and she quickly turned away.

"…Didn't feel like much. Next time, I'll be the one to do it."

Su Yu calmly evaluated.

"Su Yu-kun, idiot!"

Yui, embarrassed, muttered under her breath.

As they continued walking, Yui eventually hugged his arm.

Feeling the soft pressure, Su Yu glanced down.

Yui, noticing his gaze, glared at him shyly.

Su Yu simply looked ahead again.

Meanwhile—

Yui's face burned hotter.

Was Su Yu thinking about what Hina had said?

Was he… was he planning to… bully me?

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, her heartbeat quickened.

Meeting Yui's Mother

As they neared Yui's house, Su Yu glanced at her.

"…You're holding onto my arm like this. If your family sees us, will I be in danger?"

"No, don't worry. My dad has been on a business trip for a month, and my mom is probably making dinner right now."

Yui spoke softly, her face still red.

"…Then I'm not worried—"

"Yui?"

A voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Eh—?"

Yui froze, slowly turning around.

Standing behind them was a young-looking woman with orange hair.

She had an almost identical build to Yui—meaning…

"…Mom?! What are you doing here?"

Yui turned completely red and let go of Su Yu's arm.

"Today's vegetable sale had some great deals, so I stocked up."

Mrs. Yuigahama replied, her eyes scanning Su Yu.

"…Hello, I'm Yui's classmate—Su Yu."

Su Yu greeted politely.

"Classmate?"

Mrs. Yuigahama smiled knowingly.

Yui's face turned even redder as she looked down.

"I… I haven't confessed yet. I want Yui to get to know me better first."

Su Yu lifted his head and stated plainly.

"…I see. Then you'd better hurry and confess~"

Mrs. Yuigahama chuckled.

"When that happens, you should come over for dinner. And if you two are in Yui's room together, don't worry—I'll leave the house for you."

"MOM—!!"

Yui cut her off, completely embarrassed.

Mrs. Yuigahama laughed, clearly enjoying herself.

Then, she turned to Su Yu.

"I was just about to start dinner. Since you walked Yui home, why don't you stay and eat with us?"

"This…"

Su Yu hesitated.

Yui thought about Su Yu's situation—

She gently tugged on his sleeve, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"…Alright. I'll stay."

Seeing her expression, Su Yu agreed.

Mrs. Yuigahama smiled, while Yui's face lit up with happiness.

Bringing Su Yu home… felt like a step toward family approval.

With that, the three of them headed toward the Yuigahama household.

When they reached the front door, Su Yu suddenly realized—

I didn't bring a gift…

"…I came over empty-handed this time. Next time, I'll bring some sweets."

He told Mrs. Yuigahama

"Then I'll look forward to it~"

Mrs. Yuigahama grinned.

"If you two ever need privacy, just let me know—I'll gladly leave you the whole house."

"…Mom—!!"

Yui's face turned completely red again.

Mrs. Yuigahama laughed, unlocking the door.

As Yui handed Su Yu a pair of indoor slippers, Mrs. Yuigahama said—

"I'll start cooking. Su Yu-kun, feel free to relax in Yui's room."

Su Yu turned to Yui.
