If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.

A week's time is like a white horse passing through a gap, and it must pass in a moment.

This week, with the efforts of Jiang Yu and the rest of the people, the "Gate of Destiny Stone", including music, programming, original paintings, etc., has been completed. In other words, only the final commissioning process remains. After the debugging is also announced, the game master film can be sent to the factory for suppression.

Of course, the original painting is a version drawn by Mahaku and Rita for the time being, although it is as exquisite as the previous painting of Ying Lili, but in the eyes of those who care, it can still be seen that there is a slight difference between the brushwork, so it is judged that the painter was changed halfway.

But this is also something that can't be helped, rather than cutting the plot line all at once, Jiang Yu is still more willing to make changes to the work to this extent.

What's more, it would have been quite a nonsense thing to hand over all the original paintings to a single artist. Jiang Yu is also the first time to make a galgame game, and he forgot this fact in a hurry.

Forgotten...... Ying Li Li has always been under what kind of huge pressure, the fact that the progress of the original painting is steadily advancing.

However, to the delight of all the clubs, this week was not without achievements. This stubborn and strong painter is relying on his own strength to gradually break free from the quagmire.

A total of 12 original paintings, as of Sunday, she has already painted half of them, and what is left is the 6 original paintings at the end of the true ending line of "The Gate of the Destiny Stone on the Realm".

Including the two murderous and assistant at the end, extremely dramatic and Makoto Shinkai-style - suddenly looking back, the person is there, and the lights are dim.

In other words, this time there is no need to bomb the train, and there is no need to ask the name, which is really gratifying~~

Then, the time came on Friday, which was expected to be the last day of the retreat.

In the audio-visual classroom after school, silence enveloped all the members of "SimplePlanSoftware" who had arrived for the first time in a long time.

Jiang Yu looked at the crowd who had no intention of opening their mouths, sighed, and broke the silence: "Lunye, how long did Ying Lili last contact you?" ”

Lunye, whose eyes were full of bloodshots, responded with a slightly hoarse throat: "It should be...... Wednesday. ”

At the same time, Lunya, who was a little dazed in his head, almost couldn't help but remember the conclusive words that he heard from Kasumigaoka Shiyu in the café some time ago.

"Further up is level 3, and the replies are getting slower and slower."

It's one step closer to the prophecy of the future that the black-bellied senior sister said.

"That is, the day before yesterday...... Is it? Jiang Yu's expression also looked a little heavy, "I'm not worried about the progress of the original painting now, but whether Sawamura will be in a situation where he can't contact us." ”

Because the progress of the original painting ...... Since last weekend, there has been no progress.

In other words, there are still six original paintings left unfinished.

"What Jiang Jun means is...... Passed a coma or something? ”

Megumi Kato bit her lip, and her tone was not as calm and indifferent as before.

"yes...... That's the worst-case scenario, though. Jiang Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked at the girl on the side, "After all, when the creator is in a hurry, he doesn't care about his surroundings at all, and forcing his body is also a common thing." If you suddenly relax because you have completed the work, it is not impossible to fall asleep in an instant. Right? Sister Shiyu. ”

Since this week, she hasn't come to school much, and the long-haired girl with black and straight hair who can be said to be a cold bystander about the crisis that the club is encountering, squinted her eyes when she heard this, didn't speak, and just nodded with a cold expression.

Jiang Yu glanced at Lun Ye, who bowed his head and was silent, exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest, and tried to maintain a calm tone: "Now Yingli Li has no sign of returning from the retreat, in this case, tomorrow is Saturday, let's go to Nasu Plateau to visit Yingli Li." By the way, if the original art has already been completed, the rest of the finishing work can also be done there. ”

"In that case, it should be just in time for the deadline the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow, that is, Sunday of this week, is the deadline agreed with the manufacturer to send the master film of "The Gate of Destiny Stone" to the factory for suppression.

Regarding Jiang Yu's proposal, Megumi Kato and Shiyu Kasumigaoka did not show any objection, but the latter glanced at Jiang Yu with inexplicable eyes, making him inexplicable and confused for a while.

Unexpectedly, just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Jiang Yu and Kato Megumi had already begun to discuss whether they should be able to go back and forth that day, so when they needed to explain these things to Ying Lili's parents, Lun also suddenly spoke.

The tone was still so dry, but the words that came out made everyone look moved.

“…… Believe in the pear pear, right? If not, the guy should call me before he passes out. Moreover, isn't Ah Yu already finished product? Take that too......"

"Are you serious? Lun also. Jiang Yu tried to hold back the anger in his heart, his eyes staring fiercely at the familiar and unfamiliar friend in front of him, "Sawamura may be in danger now!" ”

Lun also tried to squeeze out a smile on his face: "But, as a companion, shouldn't you trust ...... at this time?"

"Shut up, Lun!" Jiang Yu, who was already angry in his heart, stood up straight and suddenly exploded, "I don't know what kind of past there is between the two of you, and I'm not interested in your emotional experience that may be directly used as a work!" But - Sawamura is our companion, your childhood sweetheart, she doesn't know what's going on now, and you say things like that! Really——! It's ——!."

In the face of the outbreak of Jiang Yu, Lun also hung his head and said nothing, but the two of them, Megumi Kato and Shiyu Kasumigaoka, stared at the young man who spoke amazing words with a slightly strange expression.

Thinking about it carefully, this may be the first time that Jiang Yu has been so angry since he came to this world.

Jiang Yu didn't care about the expressions of the people around him, he gasped in his mouth, trying to calm down his agitated mood, and finally, his expression was stiff, and he said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be qualified to say such things." However, there is no doubt that Sawamura is closer to you than everyone else in the room. At the same time, I, who took it for granted that you should care about her the most, was a complete idiot. ”

"I won't force you to do anything, I also said before, the affairs of Sawamura are fully in charge of you. So, at least for today, I choose to trust your judgment. But if there is no news from Sawamura by noon tomorrow, I will still make the proposal I just made and carry it out irrefutably. ”

"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble just now, but I'm a little unwell today, so I'll go back first."

After saying all this, Jiang Yu packed up his things in two by three and walked towards the front door.

After walking two or three steps, he suddenly paused again, turned around, looked at Lun Ye, who was still silent, sighed, and said in a complicated tone: "Also, Lun Ye." Don't forget what I said earlier – 'When you're in trouble, come to us for help!' This statement is still valid today. ”

"In addition, I hope you can be a little more considerate of the creator's desire to grow."

"Farewell."

After Jiang Yu left, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu also stood up slowly, looked at Lun Ye with a mocking face, and said in a tone of "hate iron does not become steel" with a kind of disappointed expectations: "Although I am still very angry about the previous incident, as Juniorjun said, now is not the time to be petty, do you understand?" Lun is also a junior brother. ”

After finishing speaking, the fresh graduate, who came empty-handed, also left the classroom.

In the silence, Kato Megumi said as if no one was around: "Ying Li Li is about to be unable to hide it, huh? About the identity of otaku and impostor lady. ”

Lunya, who had not reacted to the words of the outside world since just now, raised his head suddenly when he heard the words, and looked at Megumi Kato without saying anything.

But this girl who has recently undergone a big transformation, as if she didn't notice Lunye's abnormality, said to herself: "After all, she became friends with me." And I seem to have a good relationship with An Yijun and Jiang Jun, so there have been rumors of speculation recently: Since Yingli Li and I are friends, then you should also hook up with An Yijun or Jiang Jun, right? ”

"That kind of thing...... the expression on Lunye's face changed for the first time, and it became a little ridiculous, "It's just pure speculation, right?" As long as Ying Li Li denies it, it will be calmed down. ”

Yes, just like in elementary school.

As long as that guy wants to, he can easily fool the others around him and create his own shelter. Even if...... It is not a matter of what it will destroy.

The guy ...... Such a selfish, arrogant and arrogant guy.

Megumi Kato shook her head and smiled softly, "Not really." ”

"The rumors may subside, but the current Yingli pear will definitely not deny it."

Although she smiled ambiguously and casually brought the topic over...... But I will never say it. ”

"She won't say she has nothing to do with you...... Absolutely not. ”

Megumi Kato uses a lot of "absolutes" in her words, as if she is telling the truth of the universe, and as if she is giving confidence to this teenager who has been in a daze for the past two days.

After the words fell, Lun Ye's expression became extremely gray and distorted in an instant, and it could even be said to be gloomy and dark.

Why?

Why?

Anyway, we really don't have a relationship...... Isn't it?

The boy's heart searched for answers.

Megumi Kato didn't know what he had deliberately said, but he actually touched the only darkness in Ryeye's heart, and he still had a gentle smile on his face, and said in a soft tone: "I think that in the near future, you and Ying Li Li will definitely be able to reconcile 'really'." ”

Lun's lips trembled, and he felt as if he was in an incomparably deep and dark underwater space.

You don't want to say that kind of thing so easily......

"So, we're absolutely going to do our part for her now, okay?"

Lun's eyes were empty, although he was still here, his soul had long since lost his knowledge of where he had reached the spiritual universe.

From the bottom of my heart, how much I resent that guy......

And how obsessed am I with that......

Even if you're well-intentioned, I'll ...... Grudge ...... Yo?

That would make me both arrogant and unreasonable, and I knew I was holding a grudge......

“…… Therefore, if you haven't contacted you at noon tomorrow, you must tell us, and let's go to Nasu Plateau together. ”

Len also turned his head slightly stiffly, no longer looking at Megumi Kato's face.

He only felt that the other party's voice sounded more flat than before.

No, it's not.

It's just the content that the other party said, and he can't put it into his head at all.

After all, his mind was now overwhelmed by the sea of memories and the tide of resentment.

……

On the way home.

Jiang Yu stood in front of the traffic light at the intersection in a daze, and the flow of people around him had changed several times, but he was still motionless.

He looked down at his outstretched hands, at the hands that could play the piano and type code, and asked himself silently in his heart.

Why am I ......? Will you be angry?

Naturally, it can't be because of the affection between men and women, nor is it because of pity for Sawamura or dissatisfaction with Lunya.

What the hell is that......

Ah, yes.

Jiang Yu's face suddenly flashed with a look of enlightenment.

I'm just a little bit of a shadow of my former self in the girl who forced herself into this situation and wanted to surpass her current self.

It is precisely because I want to reach the realm of incomparable yearning and longing that I will sit in front of the computer when others are enjoying campus life to the fullest, sometimes sitting all day.

Not for some grand dreams, or for lofty reasons.

Most of the time, the motivation behind my efforts may be just unwillingness.

Unwilling to be left behind, unwilling to taste failure, unwilling to suffer from gains and losses, unwilling to be useless.

You and I are both laymen, living in the red dust.

What the dynasty thinks, Twilight can't ask for.

The resonance of the familiar struggle is really ...... Uninteresting reasons.

The corners of Jiang Yu's lips flashed with self-deprecation, but they immediately eased up.

Because it's boring, but it's not funny.

Yes, not ridiculous.

The green light again counts down from the full grid.

Jiang Yu suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he walked forward.

There is no way he can help Eiri in Nasu Plateau now, but as an overseer, as a planner, as a script, he is no less passionate about this game than anyone else in the community. It can even be said that it is more than any one person has put in his heart.

Lun Ye's current state is very strange, but he doesn't know the reason, so he can't solve it.

So, all he can do now is be ready and wait – just like he did for the past week.

And if there is no news from Sawamura tomorrow, and Len is stubborn......

Jiang Yu flipped through the address book of his mobile phone, looked at the number divided into the family column, and pursed his lips.

That's the last resort.
