In fact, it was with a selfish purpose that I chose the video game store as a place to play with Lily of the Valley Xia.

Simply because the game store reminds me of Elle.

On top of that, I fantasized about playing games in a video game store with Ellie.

It's not that I don't respect Lily of the Valley, and make Lily of the Valley Xia a substitute for Ellie, it's just that the person who happens to be next to me is her.

But even if I used such words to excuse myself, I still felt a trace of apology for Lily of the Valley Natsu in my heart.

And this apology has become an unspeakable burden, weighing on my heart, making it difficult for me to let go.

。。。。

"Hello? Do you want to exchange in-game currency? ”

The young lady at the front desk asked me again, pulling me back from my mind.

"Huh? Well.. I'll take a look. ”

Looking at the posters posted on the counter crampedly, I was not familiar with the way I played here for the first time when I came to the video game store.

I thought it would be the same as the arcade machine on the side of the road, so you could just flip a coin, but it turned out to be completely different from what I thought.

It turned out that you had to buy in-game currency with money first, and then use in-game currency to turn on the machine. Why is it so complicated? I don't understand.

"Hey, hey, hey! Come and see this! It seems to be fun!! ”

Not far away, Lily of the Valley Xia was excitedly sticking to the crane machine and shouting at me.

"Wait a minute."

Frowning, I replied dissatisfied. His eyes were still on the poster on the counter, carefully reading the exchange rate of the game currency and the gameplay instructions.

The noise of video games in the surrounding area is constantly in the ears, and the dazzling lights of the machines are also disrupting the view. To be honest, the moment I first entered the video game store, I thought it was cool, but after a while, I felt a little noisy.

"Oooh! And a place to shoot guns!! ”

Lily of the valley Xia's excited voice came from farther away. When I looked back, she had already run to the game area on the other side, and was standing next to two junior high school students with an excited face.

Feed.. Xia-san of the valley. Those two children have already shown an expression of boredom with you. Is it good to be a little bit of a high school student's steadiness?

"Is it your girlfriend?"

The young lady at the counter suddenly asked with a smile.

"No. Ordinary classmates are just that. ”

Turning back and answering awkwardly, I noticed the tattoo on the arm of the young lady at the counter - a bright red rose with thorns.

And there is a black stripe under the rose that does not match the tattoo, and a closer look reveals that there are three small characters under the black stripe.

Probably a breakup, right? So the "ex-boyfriend's name" was covered with a new tattoo, right?

"You look like a scumbag when you say that~"

The young lady smiled, and suddenly lowered her voice and said to me:

"The girl who will come out alone with you must have a crush on you."

"How is that possible? She just didn't have anyone to accompany her. ”

Waving my hands awkwardly, I embarrassedly lowered my head and continued to look at the poster on the counter.

How could Lily of the Valley have a crush on me?

Thinking so, I couldn't focus on the poster. It's like what the young lady said, my heart is a mess, and my mind is full of complicated and unspeakable thoughts.

Why is this so? I don't understand.

It's just that the young lady at the counter didn't seem to care about my embarrassed look, and said something about her to herself:

“。。 My ex-boyfriend is a scumbag. ”

“。。 Actually, it's not a scumbag.,But it's also a wonder.。。 ”

"By the way, you know what?"

The young lady who was talking to herself suddenly asked me again.

"Know what?"

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't quite understand what the young lady was going to say. To be honest, I think it's a bit weird that she can talk to me.

"Actually, my ex-boyfriend is a calcium! He likes men! ”

The young lady said cautiously, as if someone was eavesdropping on her.

I think she's a bit hysterical, which makes me reluctant to talk to her more. But.. But a trace of sympathy inexplicably rose in his heart.

Because the young lady who was talking to herself in front of me reminded me of myself when I was separated from Ellie.

At that time, I was caught in an emotional whirlpool like her, and it was difficult to let go. It's as if I'm not like myself anymore, and every day I just think about getting stronger and then killing the god of love.

But.. Because of that annoying Uncle Fang, I changed back to my original self.

"I think so. Now that you're separated, don't think about the people of the past anymore. ”

Because I had experienced something like that, I suddenly wanted to enlighten the young lady in front of me. And I've also been helped, so I want to help others like that Uncle Fang.

With a warm smile on my face as much as I could, I continued:

"After all, you may meet new people in the future, right? Isn't it someone who can bring you happiness and is better than before? ”

"Yes! You're so right! ”

Nodding vigorously, the young lady at the counter slapped the table hard, and then said with a serious face:

"I've just met a good girl now~ And she's not only very good to me, but also good at XX's skills~"

Looking at the lady at the counter with a nymphomaniac look, the corner of my eye twitched silently.

MDZZ, I feel like I'm blind and sincere. Sure enough, the god of love who stirred calcium or something, it's better to kill it quickly! Damn it!

The young lady at the counter didn't care about me at all with the twitching of the corners of her eyes, and continued to ask with a look.

"By the way, do you want to hear about my girlfriend?"

Your sister! Your girlfriend is my! I won't listen to it anymore, I don't want to hear it again for the rest of my life! Damn it!

"No, thank you."

Restraining the desire to complain frantically, I silently lowered my head and continued to study the exchange rate of game currency and money. It was also thanks to this young lady that I calmed down for a while and forgot my complicated thoughts about Lily of the Valley just now.

But it wasn't until I read all the posters that I realized something very important.

【Horizontal groove groove groove! The game currency here is so expensive!! 100 yuan for 80! 】

When I slowly reached for my shriveled pocket with trembling hands, Xia, who had been in a state of excitement, finally ran back to me.

"Hey, stinky shit, aren't you okay yet? I'm going to play with that gunner! biu~biu~”

While emitting the onomatopoeia of "biu~biu~" that resembled a gunshot, Suzuran Xia kept poking my fingers on my back, like an elementary school student on an outing.

"Damn! Don't you know that you can't poke someone else's backbone! ”

Turning around and pulling Lily of the Valley Xia to my side, I took out a big bill that I couldn't see and put it on the counter, and said to the young lady who was still talking to herself with a painful face:

"Help me exchange eighty in-game coins."

"Okay~"

As the young lady replied with a smile, she also took out a small box of game coins from the drawer. The silver-glittering game currency is piled up all over the locket, like wealth, which makes people's eyes shine.

To be precise, only the lily of the valley Xia next to me had two eyes shining.

"Wow! Can a hundred be exchanged for so much?! Bring me ten boxes! ”

Lily of the valley, whose eyes were shining, took out the thick bill in my eyes from her wallet and slapped it on the counter vigorously, making a loud noise in my ears.

"That. . . We can't play that much, right? ”

Saying the words to stop Lily of the Valley Xia, I was secretly complaining in my heart:

[Your sister.。。 Is this the stupid daughter of the landlord's family?。。 】
