"If you can quit smoking, then I'll stay." ”

Ryuzumi turned to face the Sectakata Reiji, the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a faint, strange smile.

Why such a strange and tricky request? Probably, it was because he knew that he had made up his mind in a moment to abandon everything else he had in order to choose the person in front of him, so he wanted to embarrass him a little bit in an unexpected way, as if by doing so, he could prove that he was also very important in his mind, just as he had the power to control her mood, and he also had the ability to control his mood

Speaking of which, when she made this unexpected request, it turned out that her mood was a calm relief after finally making a major decision.

But the good thing is that she hasn't relaxed enough to lose her mind. Otherwise, her request at this moment is not to quit smoking, but to eat all the two large pots of red bean paste that Awashima-kun brought as a welcome gift for her visit, and I believe in your sincerity.

Ah, it turns out that she has finally learned the vicious side of his painting style

Zong Xiang Reiji really frowned slightly, revealing a look of confusion and incomprehension.

"I just smoke once in a while. ”

"That's not going to work either. Liu Quan replied without giving in, and the speed of his speech was unconsciously a little faster.

A glimmer of light flashed across the lenses of Reiji Munakata.

He narrowed his eyes as if in distress and took a deep breath. Then, he said

"Well, let's do it. ”

Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief. It was only then that she realized that her chest was clenching almost in pain, as if a large hand was clutching her heart, and if she did not agree to stay, the invisible hand seemed to crush her fragile little heart.

A thin layer of tears rose in her eyes.

"I have to go back first. Then I will be back. She spoke quickly, staring into the deep eyes behind his thin-rimmed glasses.

"As long as I live, as long as I can, I'll come back. She said in a firm tone.

"No matter how much time and effort it takes to get to this point, whether it's too late when I'm finally able to come back"

"Even if it's late enough to miss out on all the good things, I'll be back. ”

"When the time comes, I hope that I will be able to pass the entrance test of the Youth Department. ”

Reiji Munegara looked at her deeply and didn't say anything, just slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Then, he took a key out of his pocket

Willow Springs

Naturally, Reiji Muneka held out the key in front of Yanagizumi and said, "Then take it." ”

Of course, Liu Quan couldn't be mistaken for the fact that this key must be the spare key of the roommate's apartment. However, he gave her the key now, and she couldn't take it with her

As if seeing her hesitation, Reiji said again.

"Actually, I've wanted to give you the spare key to my apartment for a long time. I was going to do this five years ago, even before the Hirazaka Building incident, because I was about to graduate and move out of the dormitory, and I had already found an apartment, and I wanted to hand you the keys on the day I moved out of the dormitory and ask you to move in with me. ”

Liu Quan: "What you said is that you are living together"

Reiji Munakata's gaze flickered behind the lenses of his thin-rimmed glasses.

"What else does it mean, is that you and I live together? ”

Liu Quan was dumbfounded.

"Well, at that time, it was me, I hadn't graduated yet, so I had to live in a dormitory."

Munakata Reiji said solemnly, "No problem. Actually, I've already arranged it. ”

Liu Quan: "That's true, but have you asked for my opinion, you don't think that I, as a member of the Youth Division, must obey your orders, so I can't do this kind of thing."

The system counts down to six minutes

Reiji Munegara hooked his lips and smiled.

"So, I'm asking for your consent right now, Shinya. ”

He reached into her hand and still held the key, which was five years late.

"Please take it. ”

Liu Quan was silent for a moment.

"I may not be able to take it with me."

Reiji's beautiful and deep eyes were still staring straight at her. After a few moments, he calmly spoke.

"I know. ”

He paused, as if thinking about something. After a few seconds, he seemed to have an answer, his eyes flashing behind the lenses of his thin-rimmed glasses, pushing the unanswerable question back to her.

"Even so, what about your answer, Shinya"

The system counts down to five minutes

Decision.

Reiji Munakata was waiting for her to make her final decision.

He had already made his attitude known, and with an unusual frankness, he had now put the key in front of her, which had been five years late. For Reiji Munakata, giving a woman the key to her apartment is almost the same as giving a woman a special item like a ring

The words he had said suddenly came back to the deepest recesses of her memory.

I've always believed that there's no point in dating someone you're going to break up with sooner or later.

So from the beginning, there was no random study group that would be forced to form in order to prove the clumsy routine of love, did it?

From the beginning, he was doing something meaningful, listing her as a meaningful object, wanting to have a meaningful relationship with her, not halfway like the last time they were separated

Thinking of this, Liu Quan was silent for only about two seconds.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out and took the key from the hand of the Ancestral Reiji, holding it tightly in his palm.

"Thank you, Reiji-kun. I accepted it with gratitude. She said.

Reiji Munakata narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

"What a good boy. He said appreciatively.

Then, without hesitation, leaned forward and hugged her tightly.

"I'm very much looking forward to a new life with you."

Ryu Quan: "Reisi-kun, your family may be able to see the terrifying scene of your unspoken subordinates from the window."

Although the parting was imminent, perhaps because she had already made a choice, although there was still a little worry about the uncertain future and the sadness of being separated, she did not feel much strong helplessness and hesitation, but had a sense of steadiness that the dust had settled, and therefore finally had a little joking mood.

Although he didn't quite know the meaning of "unspoken rules", listening to her slightly provocative joking tone, Munakata Reiji laughed silently.

"Unspoken rules, do you mean that I, as the king of the blue, fall in love with my subordinates? But didn't I do this five years ago? ”

Liu Quan turned his face slightly, pressed his cheek against his chest, and rubbed it lightly a few times.

"The world is crazy. There was a smile in her voice, "If you put it in those popular loves, readers would probably expect you to at least fall in love with a kingly of equal status, or a woman of greater power." ”

"Oh, the king," Reiji Munakata raised his tail note slightly in surprise, "more powerful women"

This was his usual tone, and Liu Quan suddenly felt a strong sense of nostalgia, even before he had left this person.

"It's a pity," like her, the head of the room's voice had a smile in her voice.

"I think it's nice to have a visitor from another world like you. If you are not a king, you can't fall in love, there will probably be no one in this world who can get married, so the Family Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau will probably gradually die out, except for the fourth branch. The head of the room said in a tone similar to academic discussion.

Liu Quan's inner os, is this a unique humor of the head of the room, it's really special

Reiji Munakata paused, his voice suddenly becoming serious.

"And, as I said, you've become an amazing woman just as I expected. ”

Willow Springs""

She hadn't forgotten what was happening when the roommaster said, "You've become such an amazing woman."

At that time, in the sky above his head, the cyan sword of Damocles shook slightly, and the sword was covered with cracks, and small fragments kept falling down.

If you have seen the last moments of this person's life, you will not hesitate to stay with this person now.

The system counts down to one minute

Liu Quan clutched the key in his right hand. The uneven metal edge of the key pained the skin in her palm.

Even if it's a moment, even if it's a little bit of a thing, feeling, or memory about him

She wanted to catch it.

Because, only now did she understand that in her mind, he had already vaguely become the target she admired, admired, wanted to catch up, and wanted to walk side by side, and the influence, feelings and memories he brought to her were far-reaching and indelible.

So, without him, she wouldn't have become a better person, and she wouldn't have become a person like today, who was proud enough to live in this world with her head held high.

Strong emotions and unspeakable love filled her heart.

To hug the man

In order to pursue common ideals and beliefs with him

That's why I've been working so far.

The darkness and fear that I have experienced before

The hardships that may be faced in the future

It must be the price that must be paid in order to be able to get this person.

Liu Quan tightened his arms around his back, and hugged him tightly with all his strength.

"Reishiro," she said.

"The next time we meet, no matter what season it is, it's true"

"Really, let's go buy a kotatsu together."

As soon as her words fell, in her mind, the emotionless voice of the system bacteria suddenly sounded, and the tone was cold, like a sharp blade, cutting into this warm and sentimental moment without warning.

It's time. The player is about to leave the world.
