Aftermath (Saekano: How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend)

Episode 11

"If you believe it will work out, you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't, you will see obstacles." - Wayne Dyer

Eddy went back to his home, only to see Adam sitting on the sofa, glaring at him.

"What's wrong, my brother?" Eddy asked, "Feeing vexed? That anger's getting to you really quickly."

Adam stood up and held the collars of Eddy's shirt up high, "You asshole. How dare you tip the police about the robbery!"

"Relax, my brother. Loosen those hands." Eddy replied calmly, "I didn't tell those information. Your friend, Jennie, did. She betrayed you."

"You forced her to say it, didn't you?" Adam growled.

"You're a genius, Adam." Eddy laughed, "I told someone to bring her to me. I gave her my contact so that I can call her anytime. I just gave her a monetary reward recently to reveal just a bit of information to the authorities. But you should blame yourself. After all, the glasses didn't work for some time. Luckily I got to bake to save me from getting discovered. If the glasses don't work again, I will tell Jennie to reveal, bit by bit, the crimes you did with your dirty hands."

"You..." Adam clenched his left fist.

"Mate, that fist comes to my face, and the whole world will know of you." Eddy patted his shoulder, "If you kill me, people will know of it immediately, and then you're next. I have cameras installed all over the house. If I were you, I would let go of my own brother and let him do his own stuff."

Adam glared at Eddy for a few seconds before letting go of him.

"Good boy." Eddy replied, "Here's a reminder. Glasses better be ready by nine in the morning." He then went up the staircase and into his room.

Adam slammed on a table beside him with his fists, breaking it into half.

"Fucking asshole." He muttered under his breath.

Aftermath

Episode 11

Liam went to pick Utaha up from the hospital and went to Kozue in the Shinjuku Park Tower for dinner.

"You wanted to eat in such an expensive restaurant." Liam said, "What's the special occasion today?"

"I really want to thank you for convincing Ayako to join Blessing Software." Utaha replied, "To thank you, I will pay for your dinner too, so order anything you like."

"It's my duty as a friend." Liam smiled, "Besides, I can pay for myself. I appreciate the kind gesture, but..."

"It's settled, I don't care." Utaha said firmly, "I'll take care of the bill."

"Alright, if you say so."

"Anyway, how did you know Ayako?"

Liam sighed before looking at Utaha, "We met during elementary school. We became tablemates, and we talked a lot during that time. She was pretty, so I decided to chase her. After four years, she finally accepted me as her boyfriend. I really loved her, and she really loved me."

"Then you guys should be an item now, right?" Utaha gave a cheeky smile, "What's the progress?"

"It ended after three years, when we wanted to have her parents' permission for marrying..."

Fourteen years ago...

"What will your parents think about me?" Liam asked worriedly.

"I'm sure with my words, they'll accept you." Ayako smiled at him, "You're such a good boyfriend and a son. I'm sure they will love you once we get married."
