Aftermath (Saekano: How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend)

Episode 16

"Staying positive does not mean that things will turn out okay. Rather it is knowing that you will be okay no matter how things turn out." – Unknown

"George!" Eriri smiled, "How are you today?"

"I'm kinda fine."

"What brings you here today?"

"I want to show you this." George showed Eriri the photos that was sent to him yesterday, "Someone's jealous of our relationship and is trying to break us up."

"Yeah, of course." She laughed nervously, "You can delete that photo off. Someone must have probably edited the photo."

"You're right. I was wondering if my girlfriend would cheat of me, but then I thought 'Why would she?'. We're a match made in Heaven. You love me and I love you."

"Yeah..."

"Girl, what's going on?" The naked man walked to the door. George stared at him at shock before staring at Eriri with shock.

"This is not what it looks like, George, I promise!" Eriri said worriedly.

"Oh really?" George smirked, "I see what you did. Great acting. You really wanted me to kill myself, don't you?"

"Listen to me, George." Eriri held his hands, but he just pushed her hands away.

"You'll regret this for your whole life." He then stormed away as Eriri knelt down on the floor and started crying. The man took out his phone and called someone.

"I did it." The man told the caller.

Aftermath

Episode 16

Masaru is in his office, coding the new game. Utaha came in with a cup of tea and placed it on his table before returning to hers.

"Are you done with the storyline yet, Utaha?" Masaru asked.

"I'm almost done, like ninety-five percent done, Masaru-san." She replied, "I just need to do some tweaks here and there, then I'm done."

"Alright. Thanks for the tea, by the way."

"You're welcome."

In Tomoya's office, he is trying to call Eriri while Megumi is texting her.

"She's not picking my calls up." Tomoya said

"And there's no reply from her." Megumi added, "Tomoya-kun, what should we do?"

"Should we visit her house?" Tomoya asked, "She might be at home, and then we can ask her why she did not come to work on time."

"Should we wait? Because she might come anytime soon too. We're not so sure if she's actually coming."

Masaru fished his phone out of his pocket and tried to call George, but he didn't pick up.

"That's strange." He muttered, "Why didn't he pick my call up? He can't be that busy at work."

He tried calling George again, but to no avail. Utaha looked at a frustrated Masaru and asked him, "What happened, Masaru-san?"

"Can you try calling George for me, Utaha? I think he might answer your call."

"Why won't you..."

"When I say call, please just call and not ask questions." Masaru replied. Utaha took her phone out and tried contacting George. He didn't respond. She tried calling Eriri, but there was no response too.

"Masaru-san, I've tried calling George and Eriri, but they're both not responding."

"Are you fucking serious?" He groaned as he got up from his seat and went to Tomoya's office, where he and Megumi were talking about Eriri.
