>prologue
>Michiru and Izumi are mad Tomoya didn't consult them for writing their routes like he did with Eriri and Utaha
>he apologizes profusely
>they move on to arguing about whose route is better

>chapter 1
>Eriri and Tomoya chat at school, usual stuff about their work on their respective games and stuff
>Megumi and Tomoya neet with Iori at the café after school
>he tells Tomoya to start writing the main heroine route because he thinks it'll take all the way to the end of November
>Megumi wants Tomoya to take a break from writing, but Tomoya challenges Iori's assertion instead and says he'll finish it by the end of September
>when Tomoya sips his coffee, he gags because there was too much sugar in it
>he's pretty sure Megumi emptied the sugar sticks into it


>chapter 2
>Izumi shows up at Tomoya's house late at night to show off her latest drawing
>after he's sent her to the train station he comes back home and tries to sleep
>chapter 3
>accidentally gropes Michiru in his sleepy daze
>she's there to show off her latest song for the game
>wants to see if the song can make him cry
>he doesn't at first but then cries when the song is paired up with the original Utaha route
>he's confused on how Michiru knew about the original Utaha route, which he originally scrapped
>she tells him Megumi gave it to her

>chapter 4
>Tomoya tells Megumi he's mad he gave someone else the scenario without his permission
>he accuses her of being a hypocrite since she said in V7 that friends always contact each other before doing stuff like that
>she just asks if he cried to the scenario, which he admits to
>she suggests adding the scenario as a bad end, but he rejects doing that
>later Tomoya is writing the Meguri route, but he's not making any progress
>he gets a text from Megumi while taking a break
>she apologizes for giving the scenario without permission, saying that she did it because she wanted to make a good game

>chapter 5
>Tomoya still can't write, goes to Iori for advice
>he has nothing
>chapter 6
>Tomoya consults Akane
>talks with her and gets advice (she basically tells him to “expose all the embarrassing stuff inside his head” or so)

>chapter 7
>late at night, Tomoya asks Megumi for help in writing the route
>he lets it slip that he asked Akane for help
>she gets mad enough to where she doesn't want to call him by his first name
>Tomoya responds by saying he'll call her by her last name as well
>he asks what he should do for the route
>Megumi tells him he needs to rewrite the whole thing because there is no way a girl that would fall for that MC exists
>they start reviewing the whole route, with Megumi explaining in detail why the MC is horrible
>she's especially mad about the part where the MC leaves to see Eriri without telling anybody
>she says that no matter how she sees it, it's an Eriri event, not a Meguri event, especially because one of the lines is "I might have wanted to keep Eriri to myself"
>Tomoya explains that the MC doesn't know what he feels for Eriri at that point and that's the diverging point between the Eriri and Meguri routes
>Megumi says that that's the problem, she doesn't like how the MC can choose between girls with just one event and that it's unfair to the heroine

Already translated dialogue:

>"....it's morning."
>"....it really is."
>The light that had started flowing in from the window some time ago is bright.
>A look at the clock would show that it was past seven, the time when people start waking up and enjoying their mornings.
>Despite spending six hours going over the script, in the end the scenario hadn't progressed one bit.
>"Well then, let's start Meguri 15!"
>"Yeah, at the last possible point, the protagonist picks Meguri, even though if he was in a slightly different mood, he would've gone for a totally different girl."
>...not just that, despite that brutal criticism, I don't even know how to fix Meguri 1-14.
>"...then how should I fix the routes up until now?"
>"Umm, uh..., I don't know."
>"So in the end nothing changes..."
>For how much the scenario was criticized, I have no plan, like one of those fringe political parties.
>Did I make a mistake in picking personnel?
>Should I have consulted someone with experience in the scenario for going over it?
>But they say, "for the main heroine, ask the main heroine herself"...never mind.
>Then...Katou, what kind of protagonist do you like?
>With that, in the end I lower what I am asking of her down a stage.
>If there is something in the protagonist's words or actions she just doesn't like, then I'll have her make clear what kind of words or actions from the protagonist she would like.
>"Umm...I don't expect much."
>"Sorry, but then what was up with all that up until now?"
>"But, you know, my standards for guys have always been low, in fact they're basically nonexistent."
>"You're saying that? Really saying that?"
>Well, considering how she became friends with a disgusting otaku like me right after our first meeting and her flatne-..., anyway, that was something I had already realized.
>Even so, putting aside how shallow that character would be, if you consider the level of her appearance, you'd think there was more that she expected.
>"Ah, but, a little is fine. All I need is for him to say some things that make me happy or excite me and for him to show that he cares about me, I guess?
>"And...only once in a while?"
>"After all, if you do it all the time, doesn't it come off as fake?"
>"Well, maybe..."
>"So, it's best if he always just goes lower and lower, and then once in a while he goes high."
>"You...never mind."
>For some reason, the word "codependence" fluttered through my mind, but if I define it as this the protagonist winds up a DV husband, so I strongly ignored it.
>"I'm an unromantic heroine, aren't I?"
>"Like I said, you're saying that...?"
>I was taken back by how dreamless, unromantic, even unrealistic and unideal her ideal was.
>But, I sensed a contradiction in the character she described.
>"But, if that's the case..."
>"...right. I'm sorry, I lied. I don't actually hate this protagonist."
>Right, the protagonist I wrote was pretty close to Katou's "small ideal."
>Putting aside Izumi-chan's carefully made character designs, he isn't that handsome, and he doesn't excessively pamper the heroine.
>He doesn't say stuff that sets your teeth on edge, and he doesn't try to act too cool.
>Take a bit out of the last part, and it's just full of events that end with the two sharing a laugh.

There is way too much stuff to actually translate and I just expanded on what was actually there, but essentially Tomoya decides to "go high" by asking Megumi to show her face in Skype. Initially she doesn't want to because she's self-conscious of her appearance at the time because she hadn't gotten any sleep, but with more pushing from Tomoya, she goes on Skype. He's struck by her beauty and can't think of anyone else but her. He finally gets inspiration for writing the rest of the route and they stay up all the way until he's done.

Tomoya and Megumi meet at school. She's returned to being flat but is still obviously embarrassed about what happened.

Following portion was already translated.

>"Anyway, I'm going ahead. Also, don't talk to me too much at school. People might spread rumors if they see us leaving school together."
>Keeping the low tension until the very end, Megumi tries to leave me behind and head to school.
>"It's no big deal. Up until now no one ever cared about us being together."
>"That can't happen anymore..."
>"Huh, why?"
>"Because...I don't want her to see us as we are now."
>"...I see."
>Who do you mean by "her"?
>"Like, it'd just be kind of hard to explain..."
>"Uh-huh, I guess."
>Really, who?
>"Anyway, later."
>"Yeah, later."
>Who!?

They meet at the cafe for Megumi to actually read the route. Megumi is bright red after reading it.

The next scene is where they just sit at a bench holding hands. They have idle chatter. Megumi at first isn't really gripping Tomoya's hand, but by the end both their hands are strongly clenched. Tomoya remarks in his mind how much they look like an ordinary couple.

Tomoya and Megumi re-enact the first kiss scene over Skype. Megumi is at first feeling pretty negative. She thinks Tomoya is just using her to fool around because she feels that at this point, he can write something good without the role play. Tomoya pushes her more and more and she starts getting into it. After they "kiss" over Skype, Megumi says "why aren't you here with me?" and slams her laptop shut.
