“……”

After the silence, the first person to speak was Izumo Kusanagi, who had been sitting behind the bar and biting on a cigarette, paying attention to Izumo Kusanagi here.

"This ...... Qiao Xijun, is it too much to say such things suddenly? ”

The young man's voice sounded oppressive, but the choice of words and sentences was still quite gentle.

Qiao Xi looked over, and did not pay attention to the hostility shown by the girl Sakai and several other teenagers, but instead touched his chin and groaned: "It seems to be a bit excessive." ”

He pondered for a few seconds before speaking again: "Maybe Xiao Sheng's statement just now is not very clear, then, ask again, Sakai-san, do you want to leave this world?" ”

“……”

- Hey, hey! Is there any difference between this question and the one just now?

- Well, if I have to say it, it's a little more euphemistic...... What a ghost!

The members of the Vedic Dance are basically teenagers in their teens and twenties, and they are originally young and vigorous, and the ability of the Red King to which they belong is fire, and their personalities are more or less affected by some images.

So the more innocent Qiao Xi's expression was, the more angry it was in the eyes of others.

"It's too much!"

A bit of a fleshy blonde teenager rushed towards Qiao Xi with a fist raised.

Qiao Xi sat very calmly in place, not even raising his eyelids - although it looked too pretended (muffled-), but Qiao Xi was very sure that the teenager's fist would not fall on him.

If you want to talk about the reason -

Zhou Fangzun, who had never been nervous from beginning to end, and the girl Saii who stayed where she was and came back to her senses spoke at the same time:

"Stop!"

"Wait a minute!"

The two voices of a man and a woman landed one after the other, and the irritable teenager Kankan stopped his hand, and was a little confused for a while.

- To be reasonable, he can still understand that he can stop himself as the boss, but the girl Sakai who is the party also exports, which is a little incomprehensible.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but bend his eyes, this result was not unexpected by him.

On the one hand, he didn't miss the small movements of the doll-like gothic style Lori who had been sitting next to Zhou Fangzun.

On the other hand, when he spoke, he deliberately accented "this world", and the natives of this world would not care, but as Qiao Xi's target person, I believe that this girl understands what he means.

He looked at the girl with a smile, the girl's face changed several times, and finally bit her lip under the onlookers of the Vedic Dance Luo and the others, and said to Qiao Xi, "Excuse me, can we talk about it alone?" ”

Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.

———————————————

The full name of the girl is Nobu Sakai.,She came to this world when she suddenly woke up one day.,Borrowed the identity of a girl named "Nobu Sakai" who studied in Reed's middle school.。

When she came, the plot hadn't even started - Qiao Xi learned from Sakai Shin that this world was a world derived from a manga, and the end of the manga may be more tragic than Qiao Xi imagined.

- Of course, Qiao Xi didn't ask about the specific development of the story, but the meaning shown between the lines of the Sakai girl made him aware of this.

The black-haired girl leaned quietly against the wall, the light of the street lamp casting shadows on her face through the gaps in the leaves.

Maybe she didn't know that Qiao Xi's vision as a monster was not affected by the light.

She hid herself in the shadows, and her voice didn't sound unusual, but in fact, Qiao Xi could clearly see tears pouring out of her eyes, little by little, before they fell, they were wiped clean by the girl as soon as they fell.

"Qiao Xijun is not from this world, right?"

Qiao Xi didn't answer Miss Sai's question, but Miss Sakai probably didn't need him to answer either.

She intermittently talks about her illusions as an anime otaku in middle school.

- The world in anime is different from reality.

They are hot-blooded, they are kind, and as the protagonists, they may have such and such small problems, but the positive emotions that seem to be amplified many times are really extraordinary.

- Okay...... Envy.

If...... If only I had the courage to do that.

If...... If you have such a companion, you may be able to make a difference in your life......

Every time I look at those characters who live in the second dimension, the girl can always think of this and that in her heart.

These unrealistic ideas gradually became suppressed in my heart as I grew older, and then, suddenly, one day, my immature dream was suddenly realized.

Still at a loss, she met a young man named "Zhou Fangzun" in the school park.

Both surprising and novel.

Is that...... She's been longing for someone she's been longing for and feeling sorry for for a long time.

But......

But......

I have promised my mother that I will come home for dinner this weekend.

Since I left the city where I have lived for a long time, I have rarely returned home.

It's not convenient to go back, and she is always tired after working overtime for a week, she just wants to use the short weekend to sleep happily, and she doesn't want to drag her tired body to squeeze people home.

- Home is always there, and there will be no change, and you can go back whenever you have time.

That's what Nobu Sakai thought at that time.

She never imagined that the home, which she thought would always be there and nothing would change, suddenly disappear from her life one day.

Without her parents, without a home, she suddenly came to a different world.

The group of Vedic dancers were exactly the same as she remembered when she was a teenager, they were not perfect, they had such and such shortcomings, but they never hesitated to give the most enthusiastic trust to their recognized partners, and such pure feelings gradually calmed down the panicked Sakai Shin.

Warm, accommodating ......

— like a second home.

— but they are destined to disappear too.

That's probably the most desperate thing in the world.

She watched as the teenagers studied and laughed like any normal teenager when they weren't fighting, and then watched them step by step towards the predicted tragic end.

- It's cruel.

"That's ...... It's cruel. ”

Nobu Sakai, who had been speaking intermittently and incoherently due to the intense mood swings, suddenly choked up and cried.

"When I rushed to the roof that day and saw that the roof was empty, only the camera was left, I thought that no matter what I did, I couldn't change the plot, maybe Shishu-kun was destined to die there...... Such a gentle and kind person......"

"Qiao Xi...... Jun, thank you so much for saving Shishu-kun. ”

Nobu Sakai said a lot, and finally reined in his emotions.

She tried to hook the corners of her mouth into an arc: "Qiao Xijun's words...... If I leave, can Qiao Xijun change? ”

She said vaguely, but both of them understood the meaning of the words, so Qiao Xi said "heh", and her voice sounded a little cold in the dark.

Sakai-san said...... Is it a deal? ”
