Chapter 83: Countermeasures
For some reason, Hikiya Hachiman and Yui seem to have had some trouble before...... Not a big contradiction.
The reason why it is said to be a small contradiction is because the two did not tear their faces, turned against each other, and made a fuss known to everyone, and they have never been in contact with each other ever since...... It is so vigorous that there is absolutely no room for redemption.
But it's not the kind of person who complains to each other for a few words, sulks for a while, and gets fine after two days, but directly develops into a cold war with a very tacit understanding, and quickly distances itself, and both sides have regressed from the previous friend stage to the stranger stage.
In other words, it's the kind of relationship between classmates who know their names, and when they meet, they will greet each other out of politeness, but that's all, and there will be no other communication.
I always feel that if there are no unexpected factors, they will probably continue like this until they graduate from high school, and then they will never appear in each other's circles again.
Xia Ran didn't feel much surprised by this, although he didn't say that it was commonplace, after all, this kind of bloody thing would not often happen in his world, but it really couldn't say how rare such an example was-
Not all of them are in conflict because of some principled issues, which leads to a fundamental rupture in the relationship, and many more people are actually drifting apart because of some small things, and finally fail to come together......
So much so that when they look back on it in the future, they will even think it is so ridiculous and incredible.
Just because he wasn't surprised, Xia Ran didn't really care too much, this kind of thing is everywhere, and it is also the choice of the two people of Hikiya Hachiman and Yui Yuira, he can really stay out of the matter and stand by and watch.
If the two can reconcile, he will naturally be happy to see it, and this is indeed the best ending.
But if the two of them did drift apart, then he wouldn't be too surprised, and he wasn't going to do anything about it......
- From this point of view, Xia Ran does have some magician values, he lacks enthusiasm in some aspects, and can even be said to be a little indifferent, and he doesn't care too much about the trivial things encountered by friends in ordinary relationships.
That's right, it's really a trivial matter, if it's a problem that endangers life safety and is related to the future of life, he will take the initiative to help out or something, but this kind of thing is ...... It's really not exciting.
Because in his opinion, things like this must happen often, today is this, tomorrow may be that, and he is really not interested in being a nanny, to do his duty to ensure that these people's lives are smooth sailing, this kind of thing is better to be handled by themselves.
If it is handled well, it is naturally the best, but if it is not handled well...... Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal. People are not dead, they are still alive, but they all made their own choices, and then went to different forks in the road, and they went their separate ways.
It is indeed not a big deal, since the parties themselves have made their own choices and have no intention of making amends, what obligation and responsibility do others have to interfere with their choices?
Well, when he thought about it like this, Xia Ran naturally had no motivation to do something, and his basic attitude was to wait and see.
It's just that under the snow, it doesn't seem to be going to be like this, but seriously considering doing what he can-
So this is a little strange, after all, in the eyes of others, she is the kind of person who rejects people thousands of miles away like ice and snow, while Xia Ran is so gentle that she always seems to be able to talk to everyone and has an approachable character.
However, at this time, it was the former who wanted to do what he could, and the latter planned to sit idly by and be indifferent. Although it is largely due to the fact that the two look at things from different angles, it is indeed very strange.
Xia Ran can probably understand what Xue Xia thinks, after all, she has never had any friends since elementary school, and there are enemies on all sides, and Yui Yui Yui is the first friend of the same sex who has really treated her sincerely in all these years, so she probably doesn't want to see the other party go on like this.
And Hikiya Hachiman parted ways......
In order to avoid suspicion, he no longer came to the ministry to serve ......
If this continues, not only will the two people drift apart from each other, but the friendship between Yui Yui and Yukihama will probably be difficult to maintain. After all, their intersection is generated by the Ministry of Service, and if they are not in the same community, it is estimated that there will be few opportunities for contact in the future.
The two are not even in the same class at all, and it is difficult to find Yubihama after class under the snow, and Yubihama also has his own circle to maintain...... But there's not much that can be done under the snow at the moment.
Checking if there is any change in the two people's application to team up is the only thing she can do at the moment.
Year 2 students have an activity called "Job Shadowing", which is scheduled to take place on the day after the last regular exam before the summer vacation, and the rule is that they are in groups of three, and everyone chooses to be in a group with the person they like.
And before that, Hikiya Hachiman and Yui have already formed a team, so this may be a good opportunity. What Snow wants to make sure is that this opportunity does not disappear for no reason.
However, the two men didn't seem to have decided to that extent, so after checking the application for their class, it was certain that nothing had changed.
"But there's no point in that, you're not in the same class as them, and the apprenticeship that day probably won't get together, so how can they develop or just go with the flow?"
Xia Ran raised her eyebrows.
"Or are you going to look for an opportunity to try to match the two of them that day? What are you going to do and do you have a concrete plan? ”
"Frankly, I don't know what to do." Xue Xia said calmly, "Xia Ran, do you have a way?" ”
"There's no way." Xia Ran shook his head decisively and refused, how could he have anything to do about this kind of thing.
"So...... What about magic? The girl asked very calmly, "I don't know much about your non-specific realms, but since they are non-certically knowledgeable, there should be a way to solve this kind of thing, right?" ”
“……”
“……”
"So, not only have you accepted the truth of the world, but have you begun to seriously consider how to use it?"
Xia Ran was surprised, but she didn't feel unhappy at all, but felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.
He had been worried about Xuexia before, although he didn't say it on the surface, but in fact, he was resistant to the realm of extraordinary knowledge, after all, not everyone can quickly accept things like gods, monsters, and magicians after the three views are shattered.
Since then, the girl has not taken the initiative to mention this sensitive topic, which can be said to be tacit or avoided...... Anyway, who knows what's going on?
Now, however, Xue Xia has taken the initiative to propose this aspect, trying to turn to the power of extraordinary knowledge...... Does it mean that she has really accepted the objective existence facts in this field, not only does not reject or resist?
Even when encountering problems, this aspect of the factor will be seriously taken into account, and there will be no discrimination and demeaning implicit perception that leads to differential treatment?
Regardless of the black cat or white cat, is it a good cat to be able to catch mice?
"There is no point in denying it, it doesn't change the facts, and since it's there, and exists as an option, I have no reason to pretend not to see it......" said something softly under the snow, "so what? Xia Ran, do you have any solutions? ”
"Well, if it's simpler and crude, I can just try to tamper with their memories......"
Xia Ran pondered for a while, and felt that he could do such a thing relatively easily now, even if he didn't master special skills, but the dual attributes of intelligence and spirit were already very high.
Memorize mind reading, read words with distant objects, think elimination, increase will, think reproduction, emotional transplantation......
He can really do these things now, after all, to take an inappropriate example, skills are actually special tools, with the corresponding tools for processing, craftsmen can better make exquisite works.
But if the craftsman does not have tools of his own, but his own attributes are too high, he is a humanoid machine that is beyond the norm, for example, the power is infinite, for example, the nails are sharper than the cutting knife, and the eyesight is sharper than the microscope......
So – the result is a matter of course, right?
Xia Ran is in such a situation now, to put it bluntly, it is a miracle vigorously, after all, with hundreds of points of intelligence and spiritual attributes, if you can't even do operations such as mind reading, tampering with memories, and implanting hints for ordinary people-level goals, it would be too rubbish.
This has nothing to do with the direction of the special field or the enhancement route, but if the ability value is enough, there will definitely be a strange power similar to the supernatural ability, and it is also easy to transform into a special skill.
"You can do such a thing!" The voice under the snow suddenly became a little suspicious, "Did you ...... a lot before?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I've never done anything like this before......" Xia Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth, "If it weren't for your desire to start from this aspect, I wouldn't even have this kind of thought!" ”
"Hmph, who knows about this kind of thing......"
The girl on the other side snorted, it didn't seem to be so easy to believe, but she didn't dwell on this issue that would cause a crisis of trust for the time being, and she couldn't have dealt with the affairs of those two people yet, and they fell out again.
"And this method is not reliable no matter how you look at it, what I need is definitely not to forcibly change the personality and behavior of the two of them through this evil way......"
"The gentler choice is a hint, I can give them a hint to amplify their desire to reconcile, as long as they themselves have such thoughts, but they can't pull their faces to take the initiative to reconcile, then this will definitely be useful."
Xia Ran didn't care, for the use of spiritual power, behaviors such as directly reading minds and tampering with memories belonged to the highest level of domination, which was originally a thankless operation, especially when there were no professional skills.
He didn't expect Xue Xia to agree to this choice, but this was originally a basic negotiation skill-
Before making your real request to others, you should first make a relatively unrealistic request to the other party, and then make that relatively realistic request after being rejected as a matter of course, so that it will be easier to achieve the goal.
That's it now, Xia Ran thinks that the use of hints is the most effective, and naturally wants to let Xue Xia choose this option, and there is no big problem with morality-
"It's not about directly manipulating them to do anything, there is a saying that a twisted melon is not sweet, but the implication is completely different, it just simply amplifies some thoughts in their hearts, if they don't have their own ideas, it won't work."
That is, it was matched, so that the two people who were originally intent on reconciliation were magnified because the thoughts in their hearts were amplified, and they no longer had so many worries and took that step bravely.
There isn't any other operation to delete the information, so it should be possible, right?
"Maybe you can think about it, but let's put it at the end, isn't there any other way that doesn't interfere with the mind at all?" The girl still has some scruples, and she always feels that this is still a suspicion of deliberately affecting the spirit and misleading judgment.
“……”
“……”
"If that's the case, I don't think you can achieve the goal without extraordinary means, and a person as awkward as Kigu, doesn't he just think that he saved Yubihama's dog, and Yubihama is so good to him out of compensation?"
Xia Ran pinched his chin and thought about it.
"Then let's recreate history, but this time we have to make him owe Yubihama in turn, and see if he will do something out of compensation, right?"
