At the end of the fourth period, I rushed out of the classroom without even bringing a lunch box and walked quickly to the club classroom under the siege of Taniguchi, who kept looking at me with meaningful eyes, Kunikida, who invited me to eat with me, and Kasuga, who asked me to go to the teacher's office with her to investigate the truth about Asakura's move.

It's only May, but the sun is already full of summer heat, and the sun is like a king-sized charcoal, happily projecting its energy onto the earth. If it were really summer, Japan would become a natural steam oven, and after only a few steps, sweat would soak the elastic bands of the underwear.

In less than three minutes, I was already standing at the door of the classroom of the Art Club. As soon as I raised my hand to knock on the door, I heard someone talking.

"Please come in."

That's right, it's Asahina's voice. Good! Let's go inside!

I pushed open the door and walked in, and found Asahina sitting alone in a chair in the club classroom. She was honestly dressed as a maid, and there was a cup of hot tea on the table in front of her. However, where did Nagato go at this time? She should be reading here during her lunch break.

"Because she might interfere with things in the future, I asked her to leave for a while."

Before my question could be asked, Asahina gave me an answer. I looked at her in amazement and thought she was a little strange. Although it's still the usual cute look, it looks a little haggard. Some pale faces and weak smiles are pitiful—ah, no, you shouldn't think about things from that perspective. I should be concerned about Asaka-san.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Asahina gently nudged the tea in my hand, "Please use it." ”

I picked up my tea and drank it down. Anyway, it feels so painful. It's great to be able to drink this warm tea in the hottest weather of May. If it is a little hotter, it will feel difficult to swallow, and if it is a little cooler, it will feel a pain in the center of the eyebrows. Just why is the temperature of this tea just right? Did Asahina calculate the time of my arrival?

"Because I've soaked it so many times."

Asahina said, and then she suddenly turned her face to the side.

"Why do you say you've soaked so many times? What does this mean? ”

Asahina turned his head again.

"Because I've been in the same plot for a long time lately. I kept making choices, but I couldn't make it to HappyEnd. However, I have finally grasped some key parts recently, which is why I came to Ah Xu. ”

Asahina turned his head to the side.

"What does that mean?"

"Ah Xu, I know you don't believe me, and we made an agreement as if that conversation hadn't happened. But I'm sorry, but a lot will happen in the next few days, and only you can turn things around. ”

"I seem to hear that a lot lately."

I stared blankly at Asahina. She stared blankly and finished the conversation on her own. If she twists her head to the side, she seems to be playing me, and if she twists her head back, she is playing herself. It was a little strange, but every word she imitated me was what I was trying to say. Asahina said that for a while, then suddenly stopped and looked straight at me.

I feel like it's time to say something. But as soon as I opened my mouth, my lines were snatched again.

"What is this? Rakugo? ”

I was dumbfounded.

"Ah Xu, my mind is very messy right now. It was like an all-nighter for days. So please listen to me quietly and don't interrupt yet, okay? ”

No problem.

"Remember the last conversation we had? I clicked a button and entered the main god space, where I lived a life of nine deaths. In less than ten days, he will be sent to a very dangerous world to complete a very difficult task. People like me are very weak, afraid of getting hurt but not afraid to hurt others. Such a person is definitely the first to die in the main god space. But Ah Xu's predecessors protected me. ”

Ah, I know, you like that A-senior of yours very much.

"That ......" Asahina's face flushed, and she lowered her head, "My relationship with Ah Xu's predecessor is not what you think. I know, Ah Xu's predecessors have someone he likes, and that person is not me. He simply couldn't reassure me and wanted to take care of me. Yes! Now is not the time to talk about that. Back to the point, back to the point! As for me, I decided to be strong, at least I can't cause trouble to Ah Xu's seniors. In the main god space, as long as you have reward points and plot branches, you can exchange a lot of things from the main god. There are a few things that can improve your abilities. ”

Ah, isn't that great?

"But, I'm not good at combat. I tried exchanging bonus points for guns, but it didn't work at all. Then I redeemed the tutorials and videos of martial arts, but it didn't improve at all. When I was resting in the main god space, I would go to the basement alone to practice. But the level is only a little better than that of newcomers who have just entered the main god space. But unlike me, Ah Xu's predecessors are very powerful, no matter what they do, they are very powerful, I am just a drag oil bottle. One time I was practicing and suddenly I felt very sad and cried. At this time, Senior Ah Xuan came, he comforted me, and then asked me what I was good at. ”

In my mind, I construct the figure of Asahina sitting in the corner of the wall in a sports seat and sobbing. Anyway, I feel the urge to shoot it. Ah, no, the story Asahina told doesn't seem to be the story of this atmosphere.

"I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't find anything I was good at. I don't usually have a good brain, and my grades are average, and I can't do sports at all. I thought about it for a long time, but I realized that I was simply useless. Thinking back to my life before the main god space, I would only play games every day except for wasting food. Ever since I was a kid, I've been the best one around me playing games. Ah, a bit off topic. All in all, I found that I was nothing but playing games. ”

Indeed, the last time I played Othello, Asahina seemed to be very confident in her ability to play. But isn't Sister Asahina good at computer skills?

"Ah, I know what you're thinking. I learned about computers and things like that. At the time, I was really just a piece of crap and could only play games. As soon as I get home from school, I will stay at home and play **g or rpg. After hearing this, Senior Ah Xu thought for a while, and I thought that he had finally decided to give up on me. But the next day he came to me and said that he had exchanged reward points and plot plots for something from the main god and gave it to me. I didn't realize it at the time, and I didn't know how precious this thing was until now, and I think that at that time, Senior Ash might have used all his reward points and plot side lines to exchange for this. ”

Asahina said as she pulled out a small black notebook from her coat pocket.

Ah, I have an impression of this. Isn't this the book she often uses to record the ghost stories of spring?

"The name of this item is called the Strategy Book." Asahina said, "It is said that there was a man who played 10,000 ACG games and eventually became the 'God of Raiders'. The book he used to record strategy options and side quests has also become an artifact. In addition to recording things, this book has another purpose - that is, archiving and reading files. ”

Archiving features?

"As I said before, the world looks like a game world to me. In fact, most of the worlds linked by the main god space are like this. With this 'strategy book', I can really set save points as if I were playing a game. If I'm not satisfied, I can jump to the previous save point. If I accidentally die, I'll automatically jump to the previous save point. However, there is only one save slot in this strategy book, so I can only save one file. I say this, Ah Xu, you may not know how powerful this Tao is. But most basically, I almost never die with it. Also, the last time I played Othello with Nagato, I shamefully used the save and file reading functions many times. It's like I can keep repenting. But I still can't get off Nagato-san......"

Is it this kind of cheat?

However, the last time you said that the senior was here to save you......

"Ah, I know what you're going to say. But that's not really immortality. If anything breaks my 'strategy book', I might die. It would be terrible if I lost it. Most importantly, if the Lord God wants to erase me, this is completely useless. I thought that this 'strategy book' was 'bought' from the Lord God. The power of the Lord God is greater than in this book. Originally, I thought that this would be able to avoid causing trouble to Ah Xu's seniors, but I was really naïve. One time we went to a world and I saved a file at the wrong time. I couldn't go back to the time and plot plot before that, and I couldn't complete the mission given by the Lord God in the end. Senior Ah Xu helped me make up for this mistake, and then he himself was injured. ”

So that's it......

So......

"That's right, I've been using the strategy book a lot. I'm going to archive it right now, and I'll talk to you. After hearing what you said, I go back to the last save point. Then say what you have to say. Repeat the process and it becomes what it was just now. Asahina clutched her chest and said, "However, every time I use the guidebook, it will be a great burden for me. Also, I don't know why, if Nagato-san is here, the strategy book will become unproductive. So I just asked her to leave a little bit. ”

If it's so uncomfortable, don't use that thing!

"But, Ah Xu, you still don't believe me, do you?"

No! I believe in you! I was about to open my mouth, but Asahina immediately stopped me. For some reason, the inside of the club classroom suddenly became unusually quiet. The slightly open window let in a little breeze. The smell of earth and the powerful roar of the sports club followed. In the wind, Asahina's body looked smaller, and she was swaying.

"Ah Xu, listen to me. As for me, sometimes I'm a very stupid girl. Asahina smiled at me like a sigh, "I can't help but believe everything you say. If you end up breaking your promise, I'll go back to the last save point, and hopefully this time Ah Xue will do what he says. Maybe ten, maybe a hundred, but I'll wait......"

I was speechless.

"So, Ah Xu, can you promise me? Please don't lie to me. Because I'll read it again and again, stupidly waiting for your lies to become reality. ”

"I ......" I opened my mouth, but found that I couldn't make any promises. I want to say I'll never lie to you, but I don't believe anything like that myself.

Asahina looked at me like this and just poured me a cup of tea again.

"Ah Xu, listen to me now. Why I'm talking to you about this, why I'm looking for you today, I can't explain it to you. But I want you to listen carefully. Have you ever heard of 'Mutual Love'? ”

What is it?

This is a passage from the Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was probably an ancient Chinese philosopher, a school leader like Confucius. This word means that when the spring water dries up, the fish are trapped together on the land, moistening each other with moisture and wetting each other with saliva, so it is better to forget each other and be at ease in the rivers and lakes. This was the original meaning, and later on, the word gradually came to mean people helping each other in times of difficulty. ”

Ah, I see, this is talking about you and Ah Xu's seniors. Together, you help each other in that main god space.

Asahina suddenly blushed.

"That...... The term is actually generally used for ...... between husband and wife."

Yes...... That's it.

"That, Ah, I'm ......," Asahina's face showed an extremely complicated look, "No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I hope you can think about this story." ”

You mean two fish spit on each other?

"That's right, it's like getting along."

"I just had a **** annoyance yesterday."

"It's not like that, it's more serious...... things. I don't want to go into details! ”

Huh? Is it because I don't want to say it instead of having no comment? Why don't you want to talk about it?

Asahina listened to my words and kept biting her lip and glaring at me. To be honest, it's like a kitten stretching out its paws, so I don't feel scared at all, but I feel cute in my heart. Ah, that's still a bit rude to Asahina. And I don't understand why Asahina suddenly got angry.

"My, I remember."

"Ah, just remember."

Yikes! Super cold! Asahina seems to be sulking, the last time she did this was during the Shining Finger incident. All in all, let's talk about something else.

"Well, Asahina, the last time you said you could see other people's ranks—is that true?"

"Ah, it's true."

"Well, how many levels do you have?"

"No comment." Asahina paused for a moment after speaking, "Information from the main god space cannot be said, including my level. But I'm not really strong myself, and I'm about the same as an average female high school student in terms of physical strength. Everyone in the main god space is just ordinary human beings, although the body will not get old, but the strength will not exceed the limits of human beings. It's just that everyone has some special props, such as this strategy book in my hand. These props are the key. ”

I see.

Asahina began to talk more. It seems that she will be very happy to talk to her about something like a game setting.

In other words, you can't say anything related to the main god space, so people who have nothing to do with the main god space can! And what about Nagato? What about the ancient spring? How strong are they?

"Gu Quan's level is about level 20, but I don't think he can be so low, he must have used some special means to hide his strength." Asahina said thoughtfully, "Maybe you put a seal on yourself?" All in all, I think he's actually very strong. He pays special attention to his surroundings when he walks, and he is especially careful when going up and down stairs, and I think he must have received systematic military training. As for Nagato? About 162. ”

Wow, there are more than 100 levels! Pretty strong! It's Nagato.

Asahina glanced at me with a subtle gaze.

"Well, it's actually 162. Nagato's rank was marked in words I couldn't read at all, and I don't know how many levels she had. But that number alone is terrifying. Can you understand? I was playing Othello with a guy with 162 players in the hierarchy that day, and I was able to keep playing a whole game with that guy. ”

Oh! That's right!

I suddenly remembered the candy that Asakura gave me last time. I fumbled in my pocket, and now I seem to have only three left. I took one out and showed it to Asahina.

"It's a very precious sugar!" Asahina's eyes widened suddenly, "Although I can't understand the instructions given by the system, I know that this is very, very powerful sugar." ”

It seems to have the effect of reviving the dead. Because it's not something produced by the main god space, maybe it will have an effect on Suzumiya Haruhi. I put the candy in Asahina's hand so she wouldn't have to be so afraid of being obliterated.

"No, you can't! You can't give me something so precious! This is a very mission-critical item! ”

I wanted to give her all three candies, but she reluctantly accepted one, and then looked down at the teacup with a tearful expression. It took me a lot of effort to resist the urge to pick up the camera.

How can I say it?,A little bit understand the mood of the Ashi senior who went bankrupt to buy the strategy book and gave it to Asahina.。

"It occurred to me that I remembered. Since you've been reading the files all this time, did Ah Xuan of other weeks also give you candy? ”

"No comment."

Asahina smiled at me and left the club classroom. Looking at her back, I couldn't help but hug my head.

Ah, it looks like I'm asking another question that shouldn't be asked. But Asahina didn't look particularly angry.

If I could go through two weeks in my life, it wouldn't seem to be a bright spot. Even if you can barely answer the above questions correctly based on memory during the entrance exam, it is meaningless for you to be admitted to a school that does not match your academic ability. If I knew what might happen next, I probably wouldn't bother to change it.

If I had been given another chance and lived all over again, I might have gone to another high school so that I could avoid Haruhi Suzumiya. No, didn't avoiding Suzumiya Haruhi also avoid Kasuga Observer No. 1 - Nagato Sulfura and Kasuga Observer No. 2 - Asahina Minoru Kuru? Although there are still the annoying Kasuga Observer No. 3 - Kazuki Furuizumi, Kasuga Observer No. 4 - Asakura Sulina, and Kasuga Observer No. 5 to be determined - Taniguchi, but in general, I still can't let go of the first two observers.

Oh, no. Something like regaining my life still doesn't work for me. Asahina may not want to do it all over again. At first glance, doesn't this mean that she has to be constantly stripped and stripped naked by Spring? Wait, since the Asahina I met may be Asahina after N Zhoumu, then why do I meet her seven times out of ten times when I open the door of the club classroom and change her clothes?

This is really a question worth pondering.

As I sat in front of my computer and browsed through the secret folder with the special images, smiling and pondering, Nagato walked in with the same indifferent face as if it had been cryopreserved. But she didn't wear glasses today, and her eyes were so naked on me. I was so frightened that I quickly turned the switch on the computer screen. But if it were Nagato, maybe even then he would know what I'm doing. Maybe she could tell what was in that hidden secret folder just a glance at the computer's hard drive.

Isn't there no need for me to turn off my computer at all?

Nagato ignored me, just sat down in her old seat and continued to read. If you think about it, every time Nagato reads a book, he is actually more than just reading a book. Just like the last time she opened the world of Macbeth constructed by Asakura as if she were opening the pages of a book. No, I can't keep thinking about it. I decided to talk to Nagato.

"Ah, Nagato...... Asahina says I might be in trouble. ”

Nagato stared at me for a moment.

"I'll find a way to help you then."

Yikes! How reliable!

But I can't be a scrap wood that only relies on girls.

"Huh? You must know something! What trouble am I going to have? ”

"There are many situations. I don't know what Asahina is referring to. Nagato said calmly, "Basically, humans are fragile. Traffic accidents, illnesses, accidents, there are just too many difficulties you may encounter. It is very inefficient to worry about the sky now, and it would be better to solve it when you really encounter difficulties. ”

"That's right...... Just now, Asahina said that you are very strong. ”

"I don't know how she defines strength and weakness. Now physical strength and weakness don't make sense to me. What I need is to find the truth and master the rules. ”

"Yes, you're already a demigod. A high grade should also be deserved. Asahina seems to be able to achieve a similar effect of predicting the future by archiving and reading files. Do you have a vision for the future? ”

"I don't know what your future vision means." Nagato said lightly, "My existence is different from yours and ordinary humans. I didn't follow the timeline to get to the state of being alive. The name I, Sulfona, was split into different concepts. These concepts are transmitted in both spatial and temporal ways. And together these concepts make me who I am. For me, there is no difference between time and space. For example, you can see that there is a wall in front of you, which is a wall that you see in the spatial dimension. I can also see that a wall is going to exist in the time dimension, which may be what you call predicting the future. But sometimes you hit the wall when you wander, and you can also see the wrong thing. So the future I see is also uncertain. ”

"It always sounds subtle...... Well, can I do that? Look ahead in the time dimension and see that a wall is about to appear. It's something like a futuristic vision. ”

Nagato stared at me.

"Do you want to be a 'superlife'?"

"I think that's kind of interesting."

Nagato stared at me silently for a while.

"Have you read that book?"

"Ah...... You mean the science fiction novel? I seem to have read it, but the content written in it is a little vague...... Why the sudden mention of this? ”

"It contains preparations for the transformation into a 'superlife'. Of course, if you follow that, the success rate is about 1%. Becoming a superlife is not an easy task. ”

"Huh? In other words, I can't even read the instructions for the preparatory work? ”

"Yes."

"Then it can't be helped."

"No way."

It was boring to talk to such wooden people, so I decided to go back to the classroom. I guess there's still time to eat!

"Nagato, thank you yesterday."

I saw her Mu Ran's expression move slightly.

"No need to say thanks. The third Sulfona's anomalous behavior is my responsibility. ”

Her bangs swayed slightly.

You must be bowing your head to me, are you?

"You look better without glasses."

She didn't answer me.

I wanted to rush back to the classroom to eat a bento, but I didn't expect Haruhi to stand at the door of the classroom to block me, causing my meal plan to fall through. Was it fate? It seems that I have gradually cultivated to the realm of seeing through the red dust.

Haruhi, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, scolded in an impatient tone:

"Where did you go, I thought you would come back soon, waiting for you without even eating!"

This doesn't sound like she's really angry at all, but it's more like a childhood sweetheart's feeling of being coquettish in order to hide her embarrassment.

"Don't be there! Follow me! ”

Haruhi grabbed my wrist with a wrestling "joint technique" and dragged me to the dimly lit stairwell.

I'm really hungry!

"I just asked Okabe in the teacher's office, and it seems that the teachers didn't know about Asakura's transfer until the morning. I heard that a man claiming to be Asakura's father called early in the morning and said that they were moving because they were in a hurry. And, do you know where to move to? Canada Yay! How can there be such a thing? It's weird, isn't it? ”

"Really?"

"Then, I said that I was a good friend of Asakura, and I wanted to ask the teacher to tell me her contact information in Canada."

Come on, you haven't spoken to anyone at all, okay?

"And then you know what, the teacher said he didn't know. Isn't it true that if you move, you will leave your address? There's got to be a problem. ”

"Nope!"

Then I asked Ryoko Asakura for her address before she moved, and I was going to go over after school to have a look. You might find out. ”

This woman still doesn't listen to others.

Forget it, I don't want to stop her. Anyway, the person who wasted his efforts in vain was Haruhi, not me.

"You're going with you, too."

"Why?"

Kasuga arched his shoulders angrily, then took a deep breath like a monster ready to breathe fire, and shouted in a loud voice that could be heard throughout the corridor—

"Because you're also a member of the SOS group!"
