Chapter 32: Don't Decay with Me
[Putting the notebook on your lap, you dialed Chiju Kazumi's phone first, as you expected, Chiju Kazumi also lost contact, and she and Nao Asano had been plotting this day for a long time. γ
[Put down your phone, you clicked on the document in the folder.] γ
[At noon, the autumn sun loses its warmth and does not bring any warmth, you close the curtains in the living room, sit in the shadow cast by the curtains, and flip through this final volume. γ
["The Nits" has now reached its fifth volume, and the plot has developed before the heroine orchestra competition based on you. γ
[This final volume is not written about the game, and it is a separate scene with a lack of connection in between.] γ
[The first scene is your graduation, the younger students of the school are guarding the door of the auditorium, sending flowers and blessings, you thank them with a smile, and return to the Asano house. γ
[The second scene is when you face your parents, and with your help, Nao Asano completes the meeting without danger. γ
[The third scene is your induction celebration, the celebration can bring your family, but you don't have Nao Asano by your side, you come home after the party, Nao Asano apologizes to you. γ
[The fourth scene is your wedding, and in order not to irritate Nao Asano, you choose a simple ceremony that only invites relatives and friends. γ
[You flip through the scenes, and you find a constant theme - you are always helping Nao Asano, and Nao Asano has been apologizing to you. The more your thoughtfulness grows, the deeper her apologies become. γ
[This is indeed the future of the last Sims.] γ
[Don't read it carefully, you will go through the rest of the text at a glance.] The development of the story shocks you, and Nao Asano even writes in one of the scenes that you have not participated in the social meeting of your colleagues for a long time, and you plan to invite your colleagues to your home and entertain them with Nao Asano. γ
[Except for the differences, the story in this scene is the same as your previous Sims experience.] At the end of the reception, Nao Asano is overwhelmed by mental torture and hides in the corner crying, and you find her and decide to resign. γ
[Her writings are close to prophecy.] γ
[Further down is the last scene, in which you and her are in their twilight years, lying on the floor, in a room with closed doors and windows, and a burning charcoal basin. γ
Memory scenes appear.
Minami Yuki sat on the sofa, the sun was covered by thick clouds, and the sunlight that was comforting him was even dimmer, the door of the house was not closed, and the cold wind was blowing in from that side, and his hands and feet were cold because of his sedentary life.
He looked at the screen of his notebook.
The novel is in the first person, with "I" representing Nao Asano and "she" representing Yuki Minami.
"The eyelids were heavier, the sun outside the window was intense, the sun seemed to be approaching, and the harsh light gradually filled the room. I turned my head to the right. I guess I turned to the right, my brain was so drowsy that I couldn't see clearly."
"In the blinding light, I saw her face. Her eyes were closed, her lips were open, the marks of time on her face blurred the line between life and death, the wrinkles slowly dissipated, the blood returned to her cheeks, and the gray hair fell out, revealing a thick black hair like a raven's feather."
"She went back to when she was sixteen, back to when she saw me, with her dark and shining eyes and smiling at me."
"Hurry up!" She called to me in a voice that was pure, merry, smooth that sorrow could never stick to it, and she brought before me a face that shone with youthful vigor and cunning."
"I looked into her black eyes, and there was a reflection of meβan old man lying on a broken floor."
"I was astonished at the ugliness of the shriveled and wrinkled old man, and the heavy dead air in the old man's eyes made me tremble, and I thought of the rat I had seen when I was a child, the rat being run over by a car on the country road, the rat's body was flattened, and the gray flesh foamed all over the ground, but the flesh-colored tail was still full, and it bent in a terrible arc on the ground."
"I was frightened by this endless terror, and my eyes seemed to be clamped with tweezers, and I saw the reflection in the old man's cloudy eyes, and it was the girl who was in front of me at this moment."
The old man smiled suddenly, and opened his toothless lips. The dead air that grew in his body, permeating his abdomen, spread out along the open passage. The gray dead air bared its teeth and claws, and wanted to pounce on the maiden who came before her, burrowing through her seven orifices, corrupting her flesh, wearing down her spirit, and turning her into another horrible old man, rotting in the gloomy tomb."
"Don't look at me!" I mustered up my strength and pushed the girl in front of me hard."
"I pushed into the air, the girl did not exist, I did not stretch out my arms at all, what was in my hand was her gray and old palm, and beside me lay her flesh, which had rotted with me. This house has long been transformed into a huge tombstone, and when a girl steps into it, she will not escape the fate of being turned into a dried corpse in the tomb."
"Tears flowed down my eyes, and I let out one last wail out the window."
Tap the touchpad, and the document no longer scrolls backwards, and that's the end.
[The notebook slips off your lap, you look straight ahead, covering your cold face with your hands, and Nao Asano's words make you clearly aware of the despair in her heart, feel her love for you, and her hatred for herself. γ
[She left you, and she didn't want to pull you to decay with her in the Asano family. γ
On the sofa, Nan Yuki covered her forehead and sat up at some point. His spirit was captured by Nao Asano's words, and he couldn't move for a long time.
Until next to him, there was a thud.
He looked over there, and the real-life Nao Asano was scrambling to pick up the books that had fallen from the ground and block them on top of the camera in the cabinet.
He suddenly had an impulse to run forward and hug Nao Asano in front of him with his strong arms.
He did so, and in the middle of the action, he reacted, and changed his hug to rubbing his face: "Everyone has stolen money, is there anything else to say about my sister?" β
Nao Asano couldn't struggle, so she could only whimper and close her eyes at the mercy of Nan Yuki.
Nan Yuki looked at her face with her eyes closed, and he who had not yet withdrawn his spirit from the Sims, his heart was surging.
"I want to have a snack, my sister will make it for me." Minami Yuki stopped and said.
As if she had been pardoned, Nao Asano hurried into the kitchen.
Nan Yuki looked at her back, rubbed her forehead, and sighed.
He needs to calm down.
Sitting back on the couch, he thought that in Sims, Nao Asano left because of him.
This overly perceptive woman accurately grasped her future with Nan Yuki, and was intimidated by this future and made the decision to leave.
She believes in Nan Yuki, and it is precisely because of her belief that she knows that this future is inevitable.
In the previous Sims, Yuki Minami chose to join the NEET, so Nao Asano could bear the future of them rotting together, but in this Sim, he was a student at Misaki University of the Arts and a boring performer with a future, so Nao Asano was reluctant to pull him into the rotten coffin.
Minami Yuki continued to look at the simulation panel, and to his surprise, it was clear that he and Nao Asano had separated, but the Sims were not over yet.
