157. In the next life, I wish to be a friend A
「…… What about you? Am I dwelling in someone's heart?"
"Have I dwelt in your heart?"
"They came into my heart with their shoes on......
"Even if it's just a little bit, will you remember something about me?"
"If I forget, you'll turn into a ghost and come to me, right?"
"Erase it or something, don't want it."
"Who would do that?"
"Don't forget me."
"Hmm—"
"Because it's already agreed."
"Uh-huh......
"Sure enough, you're really good. Can it be conveyed? If only it could be conveyed!"
"Arima Gongsheng-kun, I like you."
"I like you, I like you."
「……」
"But Luli didn't eat it all, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry I keep hitting you."
"I'm sorry for always making wayward requests."
"That's a lot of things, I'm sorry."
"Thank you—"
……
"Junior? What's wrong? Listen to people! ”
Suddenly, a familiar voice pulled Jiang Yu's thoughts back to reality, feeling a little wetness in the corners of his eyes, Jiang Yu hurriedly wiped the sleeve of his clothes, shook his head again, and apologized to Kasumigaoka Shiyu and said, "I'm sorry, did you say anything just now, senior sister?" ”
It's really a shame, after so long, when you look back on that scene, do you still cry? Jiang Yu thought with self-deprecation.
As soon as he remembered the scene at the end of the anime and the manga, he consciously began to play that clip in his mind. The boy who finally got out of the predicament,Reading the last thoughts and ...... from the girl Confession. In the previous life, whether it was animation or comics, this scene was very successful, and while it was sad, it couldn't help but produce a kind of "It's good that he's finally starting to move forward...... with her expectations and blessings".
In this way, when you reach the end, you will find that Kaoru Miyazono's life and death have little impact on the overall story, even if you survive the disease, it will only leave a beautiful and almost dreamlike ending to this story about growing up. And dying as expectedly as the original ending is probably an unusually simple truth that the author wants to tell all readers - youth is always beautiful and cruel, no one's growth will be smooth sailing, everyone can see from it that they do not want to be depressed and have hopes, with tears but worthy of gratitude, and start to embark on a long journey of life again.
In the end, it seems to have become a story about growth, about gaining and losing, but not about Fengyue. This story just uses a particularly forceful way to tell the world that growing up often comes with a cost, whether we want to admit it or not. Even though many times we already know what that cost is, we still find it unacceptable, but it is still unavoidable.
Arima Gongsheng is lucky, there is a childhood sweetheart who silently supports him, and there is a Kaoru Miyazono who wholeheartedly uses lies to approach him and then let him grow. And in the end, he did grow, and at the same time paid the price.
And in real life, there are many unfortunate people who can't avoid the cost, but they still refuse to grow. When they see this story, they inevitably feel sad and can't help themselves.
This may be the reason why many people who have been in the world for a long time will cry because of watching this drama.
Our experiences determine which scenes we see with red eyes and which with tears in our eyes. Behind the tears are mostly fragments that belong to everyone's life that cannot be abandoned, and those thoughts are aroused by this familiar scene in front of them, and then it is difficult to calm down.
"Hey——! I said, the juniors still have to listen to people to be in line with etiquette, right? Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu, who was starting to wander again, and said angrily.
“…… Yes, I'm really sorry, and I definitely won't get distracted again. Jiang Yu, who was shocked to realize that he had just started to wander again, began to apologize again.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu glared at Jiang Yu a little helplessly, she swore that if other people were distracted when she was talking twice, she would definitely turn her head and leave directly, and not talk nonsense with the other party at all.
However, on Jiang Yu...... On the one hand, she is indeed a little angry because of the other party's lack of concentration, and on the other hand, for such a junior who is also a creator, her tolerance limit seems to be a little larger than she imagined.
Is it a common problem for fellow writers? Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought with some uncertainty. She herself often gets an inspiration at a certain point, and then her mind begins to wander through reverie.
This may be the real reason why she tolerated Jiang Yu's behavior just now.
Sighing, Kasumigaoka Shiyu said a little helplessly: "If you don't listen this time, junior-kun you know what will happen, right?" Tsk, listen, what I've been asking just now is, 'What is the dark heart of you setting such a tragic ending?' ”
Jiang Yu listened to the words of Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's aura tremblingly, and then he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't suppress his laughter, shook his head and said, "Compared to the darkness, where can I compare to before...... Hmm, sorry. ”
Hearing this, Shiyu glared at Jiang Yu, and in the face of the other party's oppressive eyes, he changed his words and began to apologize halfway.
"Also, what do you mean by the end of this recommendation?" Pointing to the end of the recommendation written by Jiang Yu at the end—that is, the mark made before the ending of the original work—Kasumigaoka Shiyu said suspiciously.
"Hmm...... Well, this one.,Kasumigaoka-sanichi just asked me to give a suggestion.,So I'm just writing like that.。 To be honest, the story under the original setting of the senior sister, if I had to add any novel elements, I would really have a headache, so it can be regarded as a new story. It would be great if the senior sister was not disgusted by this. ”
Jiang Yu explained that he knows that some creators don't like this kind of stuffed outline-like writing. Therefore, out of the desire not to hinder the other party's creation or to stifle the creative enthusiasm of a talented author, Jiang Yu only gave some basic settings of "April is Your Lie", as well as this bright line about "lies", and he did not even mix the names of the heroes and heroines.
Of course, he did it for another reason. In the previous life, "April is Your Lies" in addition to the original comic and animated version, there seems to be a version, but I don't know why, Jiang Yu didn't find a Chinese version on the Internet, and domestic publishers don't seem to have introduced this one, so he and this work have never had a chance to meet.
Now that he had a rare opportunity to see a version of a work that had really moved him, he naturally didn't want to mix too much self-consciousness into it. In other words, he is looking forward to what flesh and blood can be filled into this story framework that he has built in Xia Shizi's pen.
He hadn't forgotten what the first all-nighter he had been in this world had been about. Although he doesn't show much on weekdays, he is indeed a fan of Kasumi Shizi.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu took a deep breath, bit her lip and said, "I can't accept this 'story', even if I don't write it, the junior Jun will write it himself, it will definitely be a good story, right?" I'm still ...... about the new work."
Looking at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's unusually serious appearance, Jiang Yu smiled helplessly, interrupted and said, "Senior sister can also see it, I didn't set this story completely?" At best, it's a half-finished product, or an inspiration, and it's thrown to you like this, and I'm worried about whether you'll feel uncomfortable. Well...... By the way, how about Senpai treat these things as a story that she heard by chance, and then perfect this story? ”
He had thought about many possible reactions from the other side: acceptance, argumentation, dismissiveness...... I really didn't expect that Kasumigaoka Shiyu would have thoughts similar to "Is this behavior stealing other people's achievements?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu wanted to interrupt Jiang Yu's words several times in the middle of the process, but finally continued to listen. After Jiang Yu finished speaking, she said with a complicated expression: "I didn't mean that...... If it was really something I heard, I would gladly put it into writing. However, as I just said, even if I don't write it, the juniors will write it themselves, and it will definitely be ......."
"Then the senior sister just thinks it's taken from me, right? Today I'm not giving you advice, but I'm telling you some ideas. After listening to these ideas, the senior sister was moved, wouldn't it be good to create a story? ”
Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly. To be honest, he didn't expect Kasumigaoka Shiyu to insist on the source of the writer's creation, which was unexpected, and all the persuasion arguments he had considered before were nullified.
Looking at the Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who seemed to be a little unacceptable, Jiang Yu continued: "Besides, don't I still have the original manuscript of "Spring Things" in my hand, and Senior Sister also knows it, right?" To be honest, I don't know how the senior sister is busy with the script of the club, and at the same time she has made her new work out~ Should I say that I am worthy of being a business writer? ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to have finally given up on insistence, sighed and said, "Then let's say it first, I'll finish this story, but I'll write your name in the preface or afterword?" ”
"On this point, if Senpai can not do this, it will be a great help to me......"
Jiang Yu said that he didn't want to have anything to do with the new work of the best-selling author, not to mention what the rest of the readers would think, just the possible reaction of everyone in the club gave him a headache.
"That's not good~ Friend A-kun!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a chuckle as if he had pulled back a city.
"Hey——! Don't just use the new words you learned? ”
Come less, who wants to be a friend A! Wait, isn't friend A another name for the hero?
Jiang Yu thought so.
