[Volume 10](/s "The circle goes on a trip to the beach, even bringing along Eriri and Utaha. However, Akane crashes their trip at night to discuss game work with Eriri and Utaha. Akane has no real problems with Eriri, but she absolutely despises Utaha's work, calling its bittersweetness unsuitable for a game and telling her to go either full good end or full bad end. Utaha is depressed, so Tomoya writes an Utaha route to motivate her to write again. However, Utaha despises this Utaha route for its ending. Here, in a setting remarkably similar to Koisuru Metronome, the MC and Utaha are in a dispute with the publishers. They work to make a compromise with them. Utaha rejects the scenario, saying she would never compromise and rely on a man like that. Tomoya laments his failure, but it turns out Utaha was actually inspired to write a horrific bad end for the game she was working out. Akane tells Tomoya this as she gives him a ride in her car and tells him she looks forward to his game. She says she'll fix the bad end by having Utaha make it a time loop story. In the last few pages, it is revealed that Utaha is totally in love with the scenario, replaying it and enjoying the couple's intimacy and sex.")

[V10 Trivia 1](/s "Megumi learns about how Utaha steals Tomoya's first kiss. She is, to no one's surprise, very jealous, and it is only through profuse apologizing from Tomoya that she calms down.")

[V10 Trivia 2](/s "Tomoya had written a previous scenario before the one he ultimately showed to Utaha, one that truly showed Utaha's personality. In it, the MC gets fired as editor for being unable to reign in Utaha. However, the MC does not regret this, as he had already planned to quit being editor in favor of aiming to be an author. The MC and Utaha share a tearful goodbye, vowing to meet each other someday when they've conquered their respective fields.")
