episode.65 Fade in
Hiiragi is not a guy who likes to be lonely, and is no different from ordinary people, and if there is a guy who is compatible, Hiiragi will still choose to establish a friendly relationship with him.
However, it is a pity that Hiiragi also rarely meets people who are compatible with each other, and there are few people who can communicate perfectly and listen to each other's voices.
It's not because Hiiragi is also a high-sighted guy, or because Hiiragi also looks down on existence other than himself, but it really doesn't.
Even if he was looking for a fan on the Internet and attending an offline party of the club, Hiiragi didn't meet a guy who interested him.
In Hiiragi's eyes, the lives of those people were too regular and repetitive, even to a level of frightening, so Hiiragi didn't contact them.
Maybe except for Xiao Nagi, the only thing left is the guy I met when I first entered college.
It was a young man with long, slightly messy hair, and he wore the kind of extremely drab clothes that college students rarely wear, just like Hiiragi.
After all, once you get to college, when it comes to the most free time to squander your youth, most people will choose to change because of the changes around them, try to dress up, and find new friendships and love.
And the reason why the two of them became 'friends' is probably because in this torrent, Hiiragi and he both chose to stay the same.
Although Hiiragi also thinks that he has a certain maverick, he meets him on top of this.
This young man is a guy with a strange personality, or rather, Hiiragi has always been dealing with guys with strange personalities.
In Hiiragi's opinion. He is a person who does not want to listen to the troubles of others, does not want to talk about his own troubles, and hates the so-called troubles. This is a little different from what Hiiragi said at the beginning, 'the principle of making friends'.
It's just that. Hiiragi also got along with him.
Neither are they called brothers and sisters like in the movie, helping each other;
It's not like in the anime that you work together for the girls you like.
It's just a matter of sitting in the library together and reading the books that interest you.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, such encounters are generally more acceptable to people of the opposite sex, that is, men and women, but unfortunately, Hiiragi's life is like this.
The other party is a male. A young man who looks inconspicuous, but is very special.
Since he didn't like to listen to the complaints and annoyances of others, he basically kept silent, reading the "Selected Works of Shakespeare" in his hand.
I don't know much about Shakespeare, only that Shakespeare was a dramatist, writer and writer, so the two of them don't have any common language in this regard.
Hiiragi also thinks that it will be more free to stay with such a person, and he doesn't expect someone to listen to his troubles or something, so that's fine.
In addition, he is even more special than Hiiragi imagined.
"I have Bonner syndrome."
He said this, and Hiiragi didn't understand what that kind of illness existed for a while.
Thereupon. He pointed to a corner of the library
"It seems to me that there are more than just books. There are elves and the like, and the bookshelves are full of colorful fruits and vines, which is ridiculous. ”
"What a wonderful illness......
Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a distinct and complex hallucinations that occur in people of normal mind.
Patients with this symptom usually have visual impairment due to old age, injury to the eyeball or optic nerve, so his vision is not very good, and even then he does not choose to read with glasses.
But even Hiiragi, who doesn't have much interest in love, has noticed a change in him, and he's in love......
At this critical moment, Hiiragi also thinks that he shouldn't think of his friends from his college days, but at the moment when he was pulled downstairs by Ayato, Hiiragi still couldn't help but reminisce.
Why is it so memorable? Why do you remember such a thing at such a time?
Because of your own sentimentality? No, it's not, it's —
The guy who has never been good at expressing emotions has a rare time saying to Hiiragi, 'Don't take misfortune to heart, Hiiragi, you're not that kind of idiot, you see, isn't it a good pleasure to stay in the library, there are so many elves floating around, ah, and things like meteors......'.
That was the last time Hiiragi heard his words, and the next day, he committed suicide by jumping off a building.
At that time, Hiiragi did not doubt or hesitate, and chose to use his ability to save his friend and prevent him from committing suicide by jumping off the building that day.
Is such an action the right thing to do? Hiiragi also suddenly asked himself this when he was about to act.
Could it be that he walked over and told him not to commit suicide, not to do such stupid actions?
No, no, since he chose this path, even if he was prevented, he would do it, right?
If you go directly to stop him, is it tantamount to denying the path chosen by this rare friend?
When it comes to suicide, many people feel that they need courage, but in fact, suicide has nothing to do with courage.
All a guy who wants to end his life needs is a moment of despair and a little bit of chaos.
As long as these two conditions are met, people will not be timid when committing suicide.
Hiiragi also knows the reason why he is on a desperate path, not only because he is bored in the world, but also because he is disappointed in himself.
The girl he liked was an approachable girl who always practiced the violin in the courtyard behind the library, and listened to the melodious sound every afternoon.
The sound of the piano was like calm water, and the notes rose up like bubbles from the bottom of the water, slowly rising in tune, and finally bursting at the junction between the air and the water.
The cracked notes turned into a fountain, and the gentle performance took on a strange change of pitch, making people seem to fall from the sky, stop a meter above the ground, and find that they are surrounded by flower-covered slopes.
Maybe that's why he comes here every day.
Hiiragi also met him and spent a month in the library together, just as the second month had just begun. The girl no longer practiced her violin in the courtyard behind the library.
The reason was not that the librarian was too noisy and drove him away. After all, the old man had already acquiesced. It's not that the girl suddenly changed schools, but because the girl is also in love.
I don't know who the target is, but I heard that it was the captain of a sports club, and Hiiragi also imagined the appearance of a young man who sweated his youth.
"It's a shame I can't hear the music anymore."
He said this, but the expression on his face remained the same as ever.
He was not possessive, but felt sorry that he could no longer enjoy the sound of the girl's violin with Hiiragi.
"In the future, I won't come here. I'm tired of reading this book, as well as the goblins and meteors around me. ”
The former is understandable, and the latter Hiiragi is incomprehensible.
That's his unique 'horizon'...... A unique world, Hiiragi thought so.
Obviously he wanted to see the girl, but he thought that listening to the violin played was a lie.
In his eyes, what kind of existence is the girl who plays the violin?
It's just that Hiiragi can't hear his answer anymore.
Even going back in time and reading the archive wouldn't change his mind.
To put it bluntly, Hiiragi also has the ability to read the archive to save others. It's just that you can't change other people's minds.
Forcibly pulled and jumped downstairs, Hiiragi suddenly felt the feeling of suicidal him.
The moment of the fall. Now that the field of vision is rapidly moving, it is as if the whole world is only oneself.
What I feel now is that I am unique, and I ......
That's why Hiiragi hates these guys who talk to themselves.
"What are you doing in a daze?! It's all those guys down there! ”
"I, I know! Since you know it, don't come down so casually! ”
Pulled by Ayato's clothes and jumped downstairs, Hiiragi also thought about his next move.
Now that the memories are over, it's time to face the current situation.
The Investigators below were a squad, some armed with firearms, some with Kuink.
Hiiragi also pressed his mask with his left hand to prevent it from falling off, and then fell to the ground with Ayato.
"It's a mew!"
"There are two in number! Who are they! ”
"Who knows! I guess it has something to do with the owl! Banish them! ”
The investigators immediately began to fight.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the two people who had just landed, and in less than a second, a large number of bullets rained down.
Hiiragi immediately ran to a nearby place where he could hide, and Ayato used Ha Hyuk as he ran, and a large number of Tsuko's needles pierced the Investigator's body.
Seizing this opportunity, Hiiragi also changed direction on the way, cutting the nearby water pipe, and holding it as a weapon in his hand.
These people aren't guys who need to be killed, so ......
After all, one of them smashed him into the air in an instant, even if he held Kuink, he couldn't stop him.
The reacting investigator tried to attack from behind, but Hiiragi also stabbed him in the direction of the hose, and the sharp part sank into the abdomen, causing him to scream.
Kicking the nearby search officer, Hiiragi also immediately left the scene to prevent them from calling someone over.
Akudo also knows what to do now, so he didn't waste time here.
"Do you know where Dong Xiang is?"
"Don't call her that! Who do you think you are? ”
"So where is that guy?"
"What do you mean......"
What a nuisance!
Hiiragi didn't continue to dwell on this issue, pointing to the street not far away
"All in all, let's get to the center of this battle, but it's best to avoid confrontation with the Investigator, after all, your sister's purpose is to help the [Antique] people."
"It's also right for ...... If you don't go on the right path...... That's this side. ”
Ayato motioned for Hiiragi to follow in his footsteps, and he suddenly turned around with a mask that covered him from his nose down.
"You seem to know very well the relationship between us, and why, I don't remember telling you."
"Oh, why is that?"
"Cut...... I'll ask you about it afterwards. ”
Several of the Investigator's teams appeared directly in front of the two men, and before they were discovered, the two men immediately detoured, preparing to avoid the remnants of the mew and advance directly to the location of the owl.
As far as Hiiragi is concerned, Kirishima Dongka's existence is indispensable, after all, she is also a necessary character to advance the development of the plot of this world.
Who knows if this world will not be able to continue the plot because of the lack of some protagonists.
Hiiragi has ruined the plot, but at least it hasn't broken the minimum, so that the main line of the whole story has completely collapsed.
"Even so, if you want to reach the center of the battle, you will definitely encounter a strong opponent such as a special investigator."
"Are you scared?"
Asked by Ayato with a mocking tone, Hiiragi shrugged his shoulders as well.
"It's just a nuisance."
Hiiragi's original plan was not like this, but due to Dong Xiang's sudden appearance, he didn't follow the plot, which caused such a situation.
Of course, Hiiragi has already come to his senses, after all, he has ruined the plot of a certain period of time, and he wants the plot to recover in a certain period of time, which is a little too greedy.
At this time, Xiao Nai's voice sounded in the earphones.
[Your area is surrounded by Inspectors, so if you want to avoid the enemy as much as possible, follow my instructions.] 】
"OK, wait."
Hiiragi also stopped Akuto in front of him and told him not to go any further.
"What's wrong? I don't have time to waste gossiping with you. ”
"I'm stopping you just to save time, and if you want to avoid the fight, don't go that way, or wait for a searcher to pass by."
"Why do you know ......"
"Because you don't have the support."
Whether Ayato believed it or not, Hiiragi also walked in the direction given by Xiao Nagi.
Maybe it's because there's no choice, or maybe it's because Hiiragi is serious, Ayato changes direction with Hiiragi behind him.
[By the way, there is another plan, which is to sneak up on the Inspectors, change into their clothes and blend into the Investigators' team. 】
It's a good idea, but Nagi added
[But the one next to you won't be willing, right?] He hated humans as investigators, let alone wearing their clothes. 】
"yes...... If it weren't for that, it would be much easier for us to do so. ”
Akudo in the rear looked at the surrounding situation, and it was really as Hiiragi said, no, as Nagi said, avoiding many enemies.
[Stop in front and wait thirty seconds, and the search officers on the roofs around will turn around and look in other directions.] 】
[Rush out five seconds later, and a team of investigators will pass through the street behind the inside, able to avoid it.] 】
[Don't sprint, keep your voice as low as possible, there is a team of investigators at three o'clock, you have to go around from the left.] 】
[Very good, it's very close to the goal, it's up to you next.] 】
"Huh? What does it mean? ”
Hiiragi, who basically didn't touch the enemy, also questioned Xiao Nagi, and Xiao Nagi said in a helpless tone on the other side
[I'm just predicting and reasoning, and I can't make the enemy act as I imagined, so you have to face the enemy that you can't avoid in front of you.] 】
Leaning out, in front of me, was the junction guarded by Amen, and a large number of search officers. (To be continued.) )
