Act 50: The Call of the Night (Part I)
Time passes surprisingly quickly, and a day without any ups and downs is coming to an end.
Outside the restaurant, the sun, which had been shining brightly, began to sink in the west and slowly disappeared into the mountains in the distance.
Natsume sat across from Maiya Kuyu and saw some pedestrians dressed in black, and suddenly remembered the group of people in the Makiri family who relied on insects to strengthen their bodies.
It should be fine to put Sakura next to Alice Phil and the others, but this is not yet the moment when they are in danger.
Of course, this is just Natsume's speculation, and now that the plot has changed, his 'foreknowledge' doesn't seem to be useful.
Staring at the opposite side of Jiuyu Maiya's cheeks were very soft in the light, her cold eyes melted a little at this moment, and her expressionless face was a little more relaxed.
Sensing Natsume's gaze, Maiya Kuyu tilted her head, and she cast a puzzled look at Natsume as she picked up the menu.
It's nothing.
Natsume smiled.
Because the tables in this restaurant are not large, it is only suitable for two people to share a table, so the distance between Natsume and Kuyu Maiya is extraordinarily close.
He withdrew his gaze, and the scene of Maiya Kuyu dying came to mind.
Berserker, who was disguised as a Rider for Alice Phil's sake, was seriously injured and finally couldn't hold on and died, and this was the end of this man's life.
Natsume doesn't have any special feelings about her life, but she thinks it's not worth it.
It's everyone's instinct to want to live, and dying for someone is also a proof of survival, but the latter is stupid in Natsume's eyes.
Since you have inseparable feelings for that person. Choosing to 'die' is itself a negation of that emotion.
Look at your own menu. Natsume asked as she chose her meal
"Maimi you. Afraid of death? ”
Probably puzzled by this, Maiya Kuyu put down the menu in his hand.
"If I want to say, of course, the conclusion is fear, but what I am afraid of is not 'death', but 'what to die for'."
"That's ......"
"It's nothing, if you want to sacrifice your life, it's only for you."
Having said this, Maiya Hiyuki added again.
"Because your life is yours from the moment you save it."
Kindness.
Natsume responds in a manner similar to a snort.
That's a shame.
After all, it wasn't himself who saved Maiya Kuyu. It's someone else, so Natsume doesn't think he has the right to use Maiya Kuyu's life.
Although it is basic to make the best use of things, the current Natsume doesn't really want to see Kuyu Maiya killed in front of him.
As long as she wasn't killed because of an incident related to herself, it didn't matter, this woman was just a condition and prop for her victory.
"What do Maiya want to eat?"
"Ordinary side dishes are fine, you said that simple food that fills your stomach is the real food."
What kind of topic is this?
I am afraid that that knowledge belongs to the common knowledge in war.
It is better to nibble on compressed biscuits and rely on dew to quench thirst and assist in swallowing.
Drinking water can be obtained through a hat and a plastic film to protect it from the rain, and Natsume's miscellaneous studies are all springing up at this moment.
"Then this time I'll order something delicious. Braised steak with stew, plus a plate of fruit salad. ”
"It's too much."
Maiya Hisayu continued with the menu in hand
"Keep it simple."
"Don't worry. It's good to look at it as a date. ”
"Dating? You're ......"
Looking at the silent Kuyu Maiya, Natsume just smiled.
Bad protagonists tend to be more popular than good protagonists.
Why?
Because then it will be very cool, abusive, trampling, despising other people, which can satisfy other people's psychological needs.
Natsume is no exception.,The hero who sees everyone as garbage is actually not bad.。
Ignoring all the power and destroying all the power is the ultimate royal way.
I am still a lot worse than that realm.
This conclusion can be drawn from the previous battles.
Not decisive, not handsome, not heroic, this is who you are.
This is the man named Natsume.
To put it bluntly, he's just an ordinary person, but he's just good at translating the fighting methods in the game into reality, and he doesn't have any other skills.
Have a strong memory? No, there are many such people, and they do not belong to that special category at all.
The combat effectiveness is not bad? No, if it wasn't bad, I wouldn't be looking for the easy-to-beat Ryunosuke Woo here.
So, what are the advantages now?
Natsume is sure that the advantages he has as an ordinary person are difficult for others to have.
It's not a strong mental power or a great IQ, it's just simple changeable.
Do you want to change the past?
Natsume may give different answers to this question at different times.
Mood, mood, clothing, and weather can all affect his judgment.
Such a person is really a fool, right?
It's just an ordinary person, why can he do this?
He wanted to know too.
There is a huge gap between him and the protagonists of those novels, and Natsume is very fickle in reality.
Natsume thinks she's a bad person, no, she wants to think she's a bad person.
Understand that such a self is not cold-blooded enough to live in this world.
However, there are some things that cannot be changed and cannot be reversed.
Natsume looks forward to the future, and Natsume longs for the past.
The man named Natsume keeps taking steps to find what he wants to find.
But in fact, everything has changed.
The tirade in my head is over, and I'm so thankful you can see it now.
I admire such people very much.
Natsume smiled bitterly and bit her lip to refresh herself.
Tasting his own blood, the nostalgic and disgusting taste began to spread in his mouth.
Picking up the menu, Natsume looked at Maiya Kuyu on the opposite side again.
She didn't seem to be comfortable with her strange behavior, and her whole body movement stiffened a little.
Finally, Maiya Kuyu worriedly stretched out her hand and put it on Natsume's forehead.
It seems that he thinks he has a fever.
Gently removing Maiya Kuyu's hand, Natsume changed to a serious expression.
The horizon in the field of vision is the mountains in the distance, and on the other side, there may be something unexpected.
After a pause, Natsume put the menu away and picked up a bunch of Kuyu Maiya's hair with her hand.
"Maimi, from now on you have nothing to do with me."
And then
"Leaving Fuyuki City with Ellie and that little girl named Sakura, that's it, that's my decision." (To be continued......)
