Volume 9 aroundandaround Summary

Volumes 9 and 10 are practically filler and nearly worthless, so I'll do a quick summary. If you expect Izumi, Michiru, or Iori to get even a semblance of development, prepare to be disappointed.

[Volume 9](/s "Megumi is depressed and has stopped her first name basis with Tomoya. Izumi has fallen into a slump where her pictures now resemble Eriri's. Tomoya is inspired by Utaha's advice to convey things through stories, so he writes an Eriri route for his game. This Eriri route is a copy paste of every scene he's had with Eriri up until then. He wants Megumi to do the reconciliation scene that he plans to write, but he collapses from exhaustion before he can finish it. Megumi comes over to see how he's doing, and he shows her his work. She is very jealous at some of the raunchy scenes in the game, and Tomoya thinks he has failed to convey what he wanted. In the end, however, Megumi tells Tomoya she'll work up her courage and reconciliate with Eriri, showing she actually did understand that he wanted her to make up. Megumi resumes her first name basis with Tomoya and takes a bite of his half-eaten sandwich, lampshading a joke said earlier in the volume on how the girl eating the MC's half-eaten sandwich is a cliche of galge.")
