Chapter 227: The Choice (Finale)
Although I had experienced multiple dates the day before and felt physically and mentally exhausted, Kazuya woke up the next morning and was exceptionally refreshed.
Casually glanced at the phone, the phone screen displayed three email prompts, one is from Ayase, very brief, but also very much his sister's previous style of caring for himself: "Today I have helped my brother to the school to ask for leave, if you get up late, you can go home and rest directly, this kind of weather is definitely not comfortable to be splashed with cold water." ”
The second email came from Kirino, and it was still her kind of long-winded email full of middle school girl style, but there were fewer flying and emojis than usual, and there was more obscure concern: "I heard Ayase say that I helped you go to school to ask for leave, but don't really have a problem, if something really goes wrong, then my responsibility will be great, but it seems that Ayase still doesn't know what happened last night?" All in all, thank you for that. ”
The third email was a little unexpected.,From the deputy editor-in-chief of the fantastic library that he has forgotten for a long time.,Although his email didn't clearly say that there was something to find himself.,But this one, "There are some situations that I have to talk to Mr. Aragaki about.,If you have time, can you reply to me when are you free to come to the editorial department for an interview?" "Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this old fox's gourd, Kazuya has a feeling that this should have something to do with Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
Quickly swept through the two emails, and also poked his head, although he was splashed with water last night, but, with his physical fitness, it is not difficult to carry this small problem, but he still has a headache, and this headache naturally comes from the other three people who met yesterday.
Because there is no alarm clock and no one to call the bed, when Kazuya wakes up, it is already after nine o'clock in the morning, and at this time, not to mention Yingli Li, who has entered a state of retreat, Kato, who is in the same class, and Shiyu, who knows his whereabouts at school under normal circumstances, should also know that he didn't go to class today.
However, just like last night, despite waiting for a long time in front of the phone screen with an expectant expression, the two still haven't emailed themselves, as if the previous date had made them have an awakening. On the other hand, Ying Li Li also fell silent after making that brainless request last night, as if waiting for him to make a choice.
Kazuya suddenly felt as if he was doing a multiple-choice question of the galgame's branch options, option one: go home; Option 2: Go to the retreat in Pear and Pear; Option 3: Return to class as normal; Option 4: Reply to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kikuta that he can go to the magazine now.
These four choices actually determine who they will meet first. In the previous "mock dating" scenario, which was a clear "choice" for everyone to date, who to meet first the next day was actually the most important.
Of course, at this time, for the sake of fairness period, it seems that no one in the selection process will choose to interfere with the person making the choice in other ways.
From this point of view, the pear who contacted Kazuya last night may have broken this tacit understanding, but this is also the reason why she stopped contacting Kazuya after abruptly proposing this idea, and she was unwilling to further reflect the process of her choice of interference with Kazuya.
But,Whether it's admitted,But,And also was guided by the email of the pear pear.,Especially,After the pear pear,And hung up a phone on himself.,Before he was able to call the pear pear,,What he heard was the kind of hesitant and crying voice of the pear pear:"And also,I'm working hard today, right?" I worked hard before, right? I've been working hard! However, when it came to drawing the CG of the game, I couldn't stick to it, because the main character of this game is-"
Although the Ying Li pear after "ah" sounded, and then hung up the phone fiercely, but, what she was going to say next and can still guess it, in any case, the game being made, although the heroine's name is Ye Xunli, but, inside, it is based on Kato Megumi as a template, that is to say, in this sensitive period of mutual competition, Ying Lili, to think about the every move of the two-dimensional character with her competitor as the template, although for a painter, this kind of professionalism still needs to be had, However, suppressing one's complex feelings cannot be solved through simple professionalism.
Therefore, from the perspective of the pressure undertaken, Kazuya feels that the pressure of Yingli is higher than that of Shiyu and Kato.
Although he vaguely knew what his choice meant now, Kazuya still took a deep breath and replied to everyone's email.
The reply to Ayase was: "No problem, I'm already very energetic, I have to believe in my physical fitness, and I'm looking for help with something, and I'm talking to my parents about the time when I might be home these nights." ”
The reply to Kikuta was, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kikuta. There are some things that need to be resolved in the near future, if the matter is not particularly urgent, can I have a later interview? ”
Of course, after glancing at Kirino's long email, Kazuya sighed and replied, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, and besides, help take care of Ayase." ”
In the end, looking at the email from Ying Lili with a somewhat confused and uncertain tone, and even with several typos, Kazuya closed his eyes and pressed the send button on the email he had written:
"No problem, I'll be there soon!"
---------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------------
Yingli Li's family is in Nasu Plateau.,And also only when he was a child and Ying Li Li had the closest relationship with the pear to go to the dirt once.,And also remember that at that time with a childlike innocence that did not match his mental age.,Playing hide and seek with Ying Lili.,Then make a mess of the various rooms of the villa.。
"Why can't I recall these things, how can I forget these things during the cold period of the previous ten years?" Now that he still misses these things, he is surprised to find that he seems to have neglected many memorable things in that deliberate self-blame.
At that time, I should have disdained these children's games, if I had to play with Ying Lili, then the "Raiders" should have more ingredients, but, this is lying, because, as the taxi continues to approach the villa on the Nasu Plateau, and suddenly more and more clearly recalled his and Ying Lili's, belonging to the two, unique childhood memories.
It was a particularly pure memory that was not mixed with other thoughts, and in the company of Ying Lili at that time, I really began to forget my identity as a time-traveler from that moment on, and lived in this world as a person who integrated into this world. If Ayase was the one who made him understand the meaning of his own existence in this world, then Eiri made him realize the truth and beauty of this world.
"So many things, so many memories, just give up?" Thinking of his decision at that time, Kazuya suddenly realized that he had made such a big mistake at that time.
"And Ying Lili, is it with these memories that I have waited for a whole ten years?" And thinking of the little princess who is usually arrogant in front of others, but in front of everyone in the club, she is often the object of teasing, and the pain and bitterness she bears under the girl's very weak body are absolutely unimaginable.
As Ying Lili herself said: "I worked hard today, I have been working hard!" "There is no doubt that Ying Li Li is in front of Kazuya, of course, I can deservedly say that I have worked hard, because, compared to everyone, Ying Li Li has ten more years of hard work.
However, no matter how hard a person is, there will always be a day when she can't bear it, and under normal circumstances, Ying Lili seems to be being teased by other people in the club every day, being ridiculed by Shiyu, and occasionally being casually ridiculed by Kazuya, and it seems that she has been angry and angry. However, these are just the surface of Ying Lili, like everyone, Ying Li Li cherishes this community very much, so she is working hard for this community, and when she is angry, she is actually, naturally not angry.
Everyone is under pressure, Shiyu is under pressure, when facing her most important script being rewritten, she can leave a little willfully, and avoid it a little willfully, at this time, her usual wisdom is covered up by this little character.
Kato also has pressure, her pressure comes from the survival of the community itself, so when the survival of the community encounters a crisis, she will also cry, she will also use her own way to save the community, and she will also show a different appearance in front of Kazuya.
But, as of last night, has Eili Ri shown a different side of her? No, because, it seems that she is the most willful of all people, but she is indeed a self-restraint and self-responsible person. If it weren't for the kind of words that leaked last night, even Kato, who is usually the most observant, probably wouldn't have thought of the pressure in her heart!
It's a kind of pressure mixed with the conflict of jealousy and professionalism of little girls, Ying Li Li must feel that it is not good to bring this jealousy to work, so try to restrain herself, but, as this feeling gradually becomes obvious, and the final time may come to make a choice, Ying Li Li will only feel more and more of this pressure, especially, when she looks like ten years of hard work, it doesn't seem to get the return she expects.
Therefore, because of the collapse of this matter, it is also a normal thing.
Kazuya didn't want to complain about anything like "why didn't he see it at the beginning", what he wanted to do now was just try to calm Ying Lili's mood, he knew that if he wanted a promise, he would do it.
At this moment,And also made clear his determination.,For his childhood sweetheart,His debt is too much.,If you can make up for it in this way.,I hope I can reluctantly atone for my sins, right?
Kazuya remembered the complicated look of Shiyu who wanted to give up when he was dating the day before, and remembered Kato's attitude of taking the initiative to give up and take the initiative to "get free", although he didn't know if the two of them did it because they knew it at the time, but, obviously, his attitude may have given them some hints.
If everyone is paving the way for myself, then maybe I should make a choice. Kazuya thought so in his heart.
The night before, Kazuya was still feeling heartache for spending 30,000 yuan to buy a necklace, but now standing in front of Yingli Lili's villa, although he paid another 30,000 yuan for the taxi fare, he didn't feel heartache at all, because his current mood has nothing to do with money.
Although he was a little apprehensive, he was in a firm mood, and he also rang the doorbell of Yingli Lili's villa.
The one who came out to greet him was Ying Lili, who was dressed in pajamas, wearing glasses, and had a complicated face.
"Well, I'm here." Kazuya smiled softly, tried to make a soft expression, said to Yingli Riri, and then wanted to push the door in.
However, his body was stopped by Ying Lili.
Lowering her head, Ying Lili's expression made He also unpredictable: "Well, you're here?" ”
"By the way, I'm here, can you let me in?" Kazuya nodded, pressed Ying Lili's hand holding the door, and said, "It's cold outside, you only wear a pajama, and the wind will catch a cold when it comes in." ”
"Now, Kazuya, by the way, when I received your email, do you know what my mood was?" Ying Lili's voice was cold, and it was her voice that Kazuya had never heard before.
"What's the mood?" Kazuya also noticed that something was wrong with Yingli Riri, and her hand was lowered from her arm.
"Steal," Eriri said slowly, "and, shame! ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"I ran away! In the end, I still couldn't control my emotions and ran away! Ying Lili muttered.
"Sneaking away or something," Kazuya frowned, realizing what Ying Lili meant, and hurriedly explained, "It's not so serious, you just gave me a choice, you have a problem here, so I'm here to help you, and the others are fine, so-"
"-So, are you sure you came to help me just because I couldn't hold on, just because I said so, is your idea that simple?" Ying Lili asked mercilessly.
And such a rhetorical question, Jean He is also a little speechless.
"That's right," Eiri nodded a little gloomily after glancing at Kazuya's somewhat pale look, and said, "Kazuya, if I'm not mistaken, I'll be happy with what you're going to say next, but, but, I'm not qualified to accept these words after I ran away." ”
"So," Eiri looked up, two tear streaks crossed her cheeks, and Kazuya saw the painful expression in her clear blue eyes for the first time, "Kazuya, go back!" Whether you choose Megumi or Shiyu, I will bless you. ”
