Chapter 212: Choice (1)
As a result, Kazuya felt that the location he chose was really weak. He was not so good at planning routes, but in the last half hour given by Shiyu, he still chose the coffee shop that the two of them went to most often in the past.
In terms of comparative literature and art, it was the most youthful era in the process of Kazuya's interaction with Shiyu. In the period when Kazuya had the best relationship with Shiyu, Shiyu had just published a book but had not yet become fully famous, Kasumigaoka Shiyu did not have such a huge fan group and creative pressure as later, and Kazuya did not have too many thoughts about his light novel debut for the time being. It was at that time that the two of them in this small café next to the tram stop in Hehe City could often fight over a detail in Shiyu's novel.
However, this situation disappeared with the publication of the second volume of Shiyu's "Love Metronome" and the gradual increase in the popularity of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, on the one hand, because Shiba no longer had so many opportunities to negotiate with Kazuya easily, and she had to constantly face the various activities offered by the publishing house for her, and bear the pressure of new books; On the other hand, because Kazuya feels that if he discusses the novel with Shiyu again, it seems to be interfering with the originality of the author's creation, and stealing the content of the novel, which Kazuya doesn't think he should do as a reader of Shiyu.
Although the slow decline of Kazuya's relationship with Shiyu is not due to this reason, the emotional connection between human beings is sometimes so fragile, because there is no fixed time for the two to talk, and the time for communication will become limited. Sometimes, Shiyu thinks that if the two of them really had the same time to communicate as they used to, she wouldn't have been so hit by a breach of contract with Yu Ya on that winter night.
However, assumptions are still assumptions after all, and when Shi Yu saw that Kazuya, who was embarrassed, could only weakly put forward the plan she expected, even if she expected it, she couldn't help but laugh. This also made Kazuya's face, which was already very embarrassed, even redder.
"It's only half an hour, and I haven't done anything to prepare before, so I can only think of the place I know best!" At this time, Kazuya was completely like a child who wanted to try to justify himself and did something wrong, blushing and desperately explaining his reasons, "So, instead of choosing a place that you are not familiar with and finally appearing in the ocean, it is better to find a place that you are used to!" ”
"So Kazuya means that he is still a person who is more accustomed to seeking security, is that true? What does it mean not to fight an unprepared war? Shi Yu forcibly suppressed his smile and continued.
"Well, that's pretty much the case, unless I'm very confident in my own strength, I will choose to take risks, in areas that I am not good at, such as dating places or something, and only this kind of safe approach is the right choice, right?" Kazuya nodded and said, "-Also, what is the name of 'Kazuya child'! ”
"Well," Shiyu thought with some memories as she sucked on the milk tea she had just delivered, "Speaking of which, Kazuya are also a moderate faction in the issue of your light novel debut?" After being killed by me in that one-on-one PK, you didn't have much intention of wanting to make your debut again, in fact, you didn't have to follow the editor of Machida at the time, just like the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department later, in fact, it is very likely that you will make your debut if you jump ship to other publishing houses! ”
"Ah, well, I don't know why," Kazuya shook his head a little puzzled, and said, "Actually, I don't think I'm the kind of person who is completely moderate about light novels, and if I wanted to be stable, I wouldn't go to a game like the big prize, which relies on luck." However, after losing to my senior sister, I really didn't have the idea of debuting, I just thought that it would be best if my senior sister succeeded. ”
"Ah, this sentence is more in line with what a guy says to a girl on a date!" Shi Yu nodded, putting on an unfathomable expression, and at the same time covering up the trembling in her heart when Kazuya said that sentence just now, "You guy looks a little wooden, but you're still good at playing with girls' feelings at critical moments!" ”
"This," if according to Kazuya's usual reaction to Shi Yu, what he is doing now should be to express with a helpless expression, "Senior Sister Shi Yu, you don't have to tease me like this, right?" However, now he just lowered his head in frustration and said helplessly, "Maybe, if only I had realized some problems earlier and avoided them!" ”
And looking at such a Kazuya, Shiyu couldn't help but be a little speechless, she tried to comfort Kazuya from the perspective of a senior sister, but thinking that she was also a so-called "victim", and now Kazuya's words may also be aimed at her, and she also has some mixed feelings in her heart.
Shiyu also thought about what the situation would be like now if she hadn't been involved in her world at that time, maybe she would have lived more easily than she is now, and she wouldn't have to be so entangled, but maybe it would be another situation, such as how she didn't easily stick to the second volume of the novel when no one supported her, or she was comforted and supported by other people and finally fell in love with another person.
But gradually, Kasumigaoka Shiyu abandoned these meaningless fantasies, because she had also slowly realized that it was pointless to make such meaningless assumptions, and it was better to let herself recognize the reality than to think about some strange things in this regard.
So, looking at Kazuya, who was somewhat self-blaming, Shiyu had to smile helplessly, and while complaining "Why do I want to do such a thing", he said to Kazuya: "We can't change the previous things, but if Kazuya-kun is you, you should know what you want to do!" ”
"Huh?" Kazuya raised his head, looked at Shi Yu who showed a rare serious expression, and finally nodded heavily, "Thank you, Senior Sister Shiyu, I thought so before, even if I ......" Kazuya paused, looked at Shi Yu with some hesitation, swallowed back his feelings in Liqi's words, and said with a normal look, "But thank you very much!" ”
Shiyu was naturally able to understand the meaning of what Kazuya wanted to express when she forcibly pressed down the unspoken words, her face darkened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and glanced at the clock in the coffee shop as easily as possible, she took the initiative to stand up and said, "It's almost time, then, Kazuya-san, please complete the last task of dating me, okay?" ”
"Okay." Kazuya also stood up and looked at Shiyu with a dignified face.
"So, since it's a date, even if it's a simulation, can you finally hold my hand and send me back?" Shi Yu's words seemed to be just a request, but the somewhat unwilling expression on her face made this sentence extra weighty.
Kazuya naturally understood the emotions implied in Shi Yu's words, and he subconsciously wanted to justify: "That, Senior Sister Shi Yu, in fact, you don't have to be so ......."
"Kazuya-kun, is it okay?" However, Shiyu didn't let Kazuya finish this sentence, she just looked straight into Kazuya's eyes and said to Kazuya seriously.
"Well, well!" Feeling the pressure of Shiyu that was even worse than usual, Kazuya finally retracted what he had just said and nodded silently.
"That's right, at least, the dating work needs to be done to the end!" Shi Yu nodded, showed a satisfied smile, and said.
---------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------------
Kazuya boarded the train for the return trip after separating from Shiwa. He also symbolically asked Shiwa to go back with him, but Shiwa refused on the grounds that he needed to stay here to handle the check-out of the Jefferson Hotel, and then discuss the promotion of the new novel with the Machida editor who had already arrived in Waai City for a while.
Of course, both Kazuya and Shiyu know it, although on the one hand, they are requesting, and on the other hand, they put forward reasons to refuse, but the two of them are just symbolic practices, and at the end of the two-hour date, in fact, in a sense, both of them already know the final ending.
If Kazuya wants to find a reason to accept Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Kazuya feels that he can find countless reasons, because, from Shiyu's body, he can always find all kinds of advantages, all kinds of advantages that are better than himself, not to mention that Shiyu is already more courageous than him emotionally.
If you want to say that the two get along in a strange way, Kazuya has never encountered a more comfortable mode of getting along with the two of them than on this date, and if he can, Kazuya thinks it's okay for him to spend the whole day on a date with Shiyu.
However, the premise for this to happen is if, no one else.
Kazuya didn't know who this so-called "other person" was, but he always felt that he shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily, so he chose to procrastinate. Although this is not to say that Shiyu is already out. However, when Kazuya hesitated, this in itself meant that Shiyu's pace had slowed down.
From a strategic point of view, Shiyu's approach is a "preemptive" approach, that is, to give Kazuya the best impression with her perfect performance first, then, even if the later people perform well, without surpassing Shiyu, at least she has won the "battle" on this date.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu almost succeeded.,When Shiyu proposed to leave, Kazuya's initiative to keep it has proved this.,Kazuya is very happy with Shiyu's relationship.。 However, in the end, Kazuya's final hesitant performance means that Shiyu's victory is not so complete, and after there is no way to lock the victory at the beginning, the winning rate of the original date will only get lower and lower, because, the good impression of other people will slowly cover the impression of her.
Kazuya didn't think of this, he just had a vague sense of wanting to separate from Shiyu, but for Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had carefully prepared today's plan, she was already able to accurately predict the final outcome of Kazuya's reaction.
Just as Kazuya accurately predicted Ryūya's possible reaction with the help of Kazuya when he wrote the script for Ryūya's reaction, Kasumigaoka Shiwa also wrote a more complete script with more branching options for Kazuya Aragaki who was more familiar with him. In the same way, as one of the best actors, Shiyu combines his feelings with the most impressive reaction that can be generated by Jean Kazuya.
An excellent novelist and screenplay writer, Kasumigaoka Shiha has done everything she can to the extreme.
However, no matter how perfect the setting of the work is, it can't change the imperfection of the result in the end, and Shi Yu, as a novelist, is actually deeply aware of this.
Just as the setting of the novel is just a symbol in the end, and it is the plot of the novel that can really attract people, the arrangement of Shiyu's script is ultimately just a sign of self-satisfaction, and it is Kazuya's own choice that can really determine the outcome of the game, but obviously, from this point of view, Shiyu's expectations are not up to standard.
So, after seeing Kazuya board the train for the return trip, Kasumigaoka Shiha took out her mobile phone from her pocket and hesitated for a long time, but still pressed the phone number heavily.
"Hey, Xiaoshi, have you decided?" Machida's voice was as steady as ever, but the trembling sensation in her voice betrayed the uneasiness in her heart.
"Well, it's decided, Machida-san, and I hope I'll have a lot of advice in the next year!" Shi Yu took a heavy breath and said to the other end of the phone.
"It's nothing," Machida's lips crossed with a win's smile, "after all, Xiaoshi still made the right choice!" ”
"It's a bit early, but it's probably the right choice, right? By the way, you can give me the contact information of Rouge-en-Rouge's Rousaka, and I can start preparing for the new club quest! Shi Yu raised his head and said to himself, "Heye-kun, you chose to let me go this time, so you shouldn't chase me back again, right?" Although, to fight you or something, I still think it's a bit ironic! ”
----------------------------PS--------------------------------
First of all, it's not too much to say important things again, it's not the end now, it's just halfway through, so don't tear me up after reading this chapter.
Second, if anyone wants to complain, welcome to add a book friend group and ask the author for the address to send the blade, but don't scold the protagonist for issuing cards, although the protagonist hasn't issued cards yet.
Third, in fact, this is the most important point, the current plot development is no longer controlled by the author, and now it's not me writing a novel but a novel writing about me, so any sadistic plot from now on is not from the author's original wish but the choice of the gate of the Destiny Stone (covering his face).
