Chapter 14: An Awkward Night
"Huh? How was your interview? When I finished my shower and returned to the bedroom prepared by Huang Ying, Cyrus was wearing a black European-style long-sleeved dress and sitting on a pink plastic puzzle carpet, playing with Spider Solitaire.
I frowned. Huang Yinggongyi wouldn't do such a thing, it must have been Cyrus who came up with it. The question is, what is she doing?
Maybe it's seeing through my thoughts. Cyrus smiled at me: "It's not my idea, it's arranged by Teacher Huang Ying." He said it was his daughter's former bedroom......"
"Exactly two daughters, and just one on the other, right?" I sat down on the bottom bunk bed, glanced at the playing cards on the floor and said, "What a coincidence." It's just that I don't quite understand, why do you live here? β
"Huh? You rejected me? Cyrese raised her head slightly tiredly, covered her mouth with one hand, and pretended to be sad and aggrieved, "Many people have paid a lot of money for me to accompany them." β
Yes, of course I do. Like the weird rich man of the "Life Gamble Game", and your male "captives......
Although, neither I before the crossing nor Ryusuke Onigawa now have ever had a girlfriend, and I haven't even had close contact with a girl. But I swear that even if I were alone in this world, I wouldn't be tempted by Cyrus.
I have never seen anyone more adept at taking advantage of the feelings of others, especially men. Our cooperation has ended, so it's better to part ways.
"You haven't answered me yet," I interrupted, "Mr. Huang Yinggongichi is so pitiful, his mother and two daughters are dead. But here's the problem, this kind of person should cherish the relics of the deceased very much, and he is not willing to change a little. How could it be so easy for you to live in this ......"
It's not something I can draw conclusions about. Whether it is anime, film and television dramas, novels or reality, after the death of an important relative, it is really common for the other party to have a plot in which every grass and tree in the other party's room before his death is not moved, and no one is allowed to touch it.
I subconsciously turned my head, my eyes fell on the location of a photo on the desk, and I swallowed all the questions back into my stomach.
In the photo, two girls, about 10 years old, are chasing each other on the lawn of the park. One girl was holding what looked like a kite string, while the other was running after her. This should be a spring scene, and on the faces of the two girls, there are enthusiastic smiles.
That's right...... The girl holding the kite string, and the girl chasing her behind...... They were exactly the same as the two I'd ever met......
The one in the back looks like a juvenile version of the cheerful and optimistic fog cut Hibiki, the one in front...... It's like a cheerful and outgoing Cyrus.
Oh my God, this looks too similar, doesn't it?
I stared carefully at the face in the photo, and every now and then I looked back at Cyrus.
Oh, my God...... Except that the skin is not like Cyrus, which is like a piece of paper, and the color of the costume is far brighter than Cyrus, the girl in the photo looks exactly like Cyrus!
"This ...... Probably impossible, right? "I was amazed. After a while, he muttered to himself, "There shouldn't be ...... Someone who looks so much ......."
"What? Aren't you a 'super-university hypnotist'? Cyrus chuckled and asked, "I don't even know what the May Rain Knot looks like, even the godsister of Kiri Hibikiko?" β
Nonsense, how could I possibly know what the May rain knot looks like. In the original work,She's just a major character in the same book of the fog cut Hibiko.,And in the same book,,There's not even a standing painting.,There's not even a description of the appearance of the May rain knot!
Actually, I was the only clean wedding photo I saw hanging on the wall. The handsome guy who is suspected of being Huang Yinggongichi (as for why you add "suspected"...... I have no comment on that) The bride standing next to her, from her hair color to her eyes, looks like an older version of Hibiki Kirikiri.
And below the wedding photo, the bride's real name...... It seems to be the surname May......
At that time, I suddenly remembered the May rain knot. The Japanese have more than 80,000 surnames, and May is not a big surname. In this world, it is said that a person who has never even mentioned his family background happens to have the same surname as another person, and the ghost believes it.
I remembered that May-Rain had a sister who had passed away, and she was very similar to Kirkiri Hibiko in every way.
Mayyuyu's family is not very good, so much so that in a high-end restaurant, she even thinks that 2,000 yen is the limit of the food standard.
And...... It seems that in the anime, Koichi Huang Ying can protect Hibiko Kirikiri for the words of Kirkiri; Even at the cost of his own life, in order to maintain this promise.
The last person to give his life for was Mayrain Kyuki, on the grounds that he took Hibiko Kiriki as his sister; Later, Huang Ying Gongyi, the reason could not be a simple sentence of "the promise of a close friend".
I thought that Huang Yinggongichi fell in love with Hibiki Kirikiri. It seems that I'm too ...... It's obscene.
But in any case, I had to take a risk and report the name of the May Rain.
And then...... That's how I succeeded......
"I say......" Cyrus sighed faintly as I wrapped myself in the quilt, as if to pity, "I still don't know what your name is." β
"And what's your name?" I asked rhetorically, "Don't tell me your name is Celestia Rodenbeck, it's your pseudonym." β
"Hee-hee, you're such a weirdo," Cyrus, whose pseudonym was revealed, only looked slightly stunned, and then returned to normal, "Why be so indifferent to me, maybe there are still many opportunities for us to work together." If you have time today, we might as well come back to another game of chess. β
"No time," I replied coldly, "the money is on a Swiss bank card, stuck in your dress-pocket pocket." As for playing chess...... Forget it, luck doesn't happen more than once. β
Even the "super college-level luck", the ending of Celes's gambling ended in vain. Maybe she had discovered the mystery of hypnotic powder last time, so I didn't want to be scared of everything.
I pretended to be asleep, but in fact I wirelessly connected the pinhole camera to my phone, turned the camera behind me, and watched Celeste react behind me.
It's a pity. Seeing that the accosting (hopefully the word is used appropriately) failed, Cyrus just sighed, complained "what a weirdo", and then went to turn off the lights and climbed up the ladder to bed.
As it turned out, I was naΓ―ve. Cyrus, who doesn't want to make trouble, is never the real Cyrus.
She crept her head directly above me and leaned down slowly. The pinhole camera could only capture some parts that were faintly visible through a layer of clothing, and I immediately turned it off.
Before going to bed, Cyrus's lips were pressed to my ear. Then she said something that almost made me unable to pretend to sleep anymore.
Cyrus said, "Listen. As one of the less than five S-class people, I won't give up observing you because of your coldness. No man can escape the fate of being my captive, and neither can you, who want to play with me. β
I'll admit that tonight, I'm doomed to insomnia.
