Chapter 2

Acting (演技 Engi) is the second chapter of Saitou Yuu's Pseudo Harem.

Plot
Rin and Eiji are seen talking as they walk back from school together. Rin tells Eiji that no other girl would approach him with his current acting prowess. Eiji remarks to himself that even if he gives his all in trying to act cool, it wouldn't be enough. He asks Rin to teach him how to act cool so that he can be popular. Rin is initially surprised by his request but follows through it, adopting a cool demeanor and advising him to be more expressive.

Eiji finds himself amazed by her act and reveals to her that he was aiming for this exact look. He asks Rin if the issue lies in the look of his eyes, only to be met with no response much to his chagrin. He then tells her that her cool persona does not help him in improving his act, only for Rin to brush him off again.

After observing Rin's act, Eiji notes that it would be hard for him to act cool as he likes talking with others. He decides to give up on the idea of being cool and remarks that he will probably stay the same forever, much to Rin's amusement. Eiji asks Rin why she is giggling, but Rin tells him that it's a secret. He then tells Rin that he can never read her expressions.
