45. [Furuhara Tsubaki] Nishinai!

The snake's head bites its tail.

It's a closed loop for a while.

No wonder Reimu said that there would never be another Yaqi Orochi.

No wonder when we met for the first time, Asakura Reimu wanted to say to Moriyama Ping [I love you]

No wonder this game has an inexplicable weird feeling like a fish in the throat when I first play it.

That's because......

That's because—

This Asakura Reimu is fundamentally from the future, and after becoming a ten-fist sword spirit, he sent himself to the present with the Yaqi Orochi.

After going through so much, how can you not have feelings for Moriyama Taira?

……

Now everything is clear.

Asakura Reimu is equivalent to sending himself and the Yaqi Orochi into this time loop again and again, so he sacrificed again and again.

But after thinking about this, Furukawa Hirozawa's chest hurt.

Ouch.

Hiroshi Furukawa clutched his chest, feeling pain.

Sine!

Sine! Sine! Sine! Sine! Sine! ……

pokeni!

Sine!

When I looked up, sure enough, the producer column that appeared in the letters read-

【Furuhara Tsubaki】

Ancient old thief!

Sine!

[Script: Void Abyss]

Void Abyss

Sine!

……

Huh?

Why does this name feel different from what I remember?

Furukawa Hirosawa clearly remembers that the script was a female author named Mika Ishino.

It's no wonder that this one feels so different.

In addition to the tougher writing, the sense of suspense and weirdness is not found in the previous work.

However, Furukawa did not stop cursing this person just because he changed to a male writer, because this ending was really uncomfortable.

I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to send a blade to Pokeni.

That feeling of depression makes people feel tightness in their chests but have nowhere to vent, and they can't cry.

Moriyama Taira undoubtedly became the second Asakura Yuan, forever losing the love of his life.

And even if Asakura Reimu can go back to the past, he still can't avoid death.

……

Dragging his tired and traumatized body, Hirosawa Furukawa snapped and fell on the bed like a board.

I want to calm down and sleep for a while.

My mind is full of images from previous games.

Asakura Reimu has become a new favorite.

However, love came so shortly, and he was stabbed by the ancient thief before he enjoyed much sweetness.

originally thought that the sequel could make up for the regrets of a generation.

I didn't expect that whether it was the previous generation of Asakura Yuan and Yuuki Ling, or the current generation of Moriyama Ping and Asakura Reimu.

None of them had a good ending.

All of them were stabbed.

The knife is dead.

It makes people want to break the old thief into pieces.

How can it be repaired!

It's really uncomfortable, it's even more uncomfortable than when you played Onmyoji 1.

But......

After half a minute or so, a smile appeared on the corner of Furukawa's mouth.

Yes.

This is the taste of Furuhara Tsubaki.

Thinking of this, Furukawa Hirosawa suddenly rolled over from the bed and sat up.

"Really? Shouldn't you continue to play the game of pokeni, and be transformed into a masochist by Furuhara Tsubaki? ”

……

Early the next morning, my colleague Jun Kinoshita found Hirosawa Furukawa.

"Furukawa, I heard that Onmyoji has a sequel, have you started it?" He asked excitedly.

"Uh-huh." Furukawa bowed slightly, and his heart was depressed.

Glancing at this guy, you could see extreme longing in his eyes.

Gee.

"Didn't you get it?" Furukawa asked.

"I ...... Not yet. Kinoshita laughed embarrassedly, "Since Furukawa has already started, why don't you lend me to play." ”

"Daba!" Furukawa decisively refused.

"Why?!" Jun Kinoshita looked at him in surprise and looked at him like a monster, "Aren't we good friends?" Aren't good friends supposed to share with each other? It's a big deal, next time I buy a new game, I'll lend it to you. ”

"Dabaa." Furukawa still refused.

"How can it be repaired, why?!"

"Since you want to play, I'll buy my own cassette." Furukawa said sternly, "You also earn a lot of money every month, right?" And—

Without our support, wouldn't pokeni stop making RPGs in the future? ”

"Really?"

Kinoshita hesitated, "Well~ Actually, I don't really want to play anymore, after all, there are so many RPG games." ”

"Oh, that's a shame. Onmyoji 2 also has a plot about Yuki Ling. ”

"Really?!" Kinoshita's eyes straightened all of a sudden.

However, I was a little reluctant to think that this game would cost 8,000 yuan, which was almost a day's salary or so.

"Well~ I don't really want to know what happened later, for me Onmyoji 1 generation is enough."

"Asakura has seen Yuki Ling." Furukawa said expressionlessly.

"Ah~" Kinoshita grabbed his hair, "How can it be repaired!" Say no more! Can't I buy it? ”

……

Due to the extraordinary results achieved by the previous work "Onmyoji 1" and the accumulation of a good reputation, many players expressed great expectations for 2.

On the day of the game's release, there was a steady stream of players who came to the game store to buy the cartridge.

After experiencing the game, players even discussed it in public.

"Ah~ What should I do, I feel so uncomfortable, and I was brutally abused by the old thief of the ancient plains again."

"yes, it hurts so much that I can't sleep at night, and this time. How so? It's even more depressing than the death of Yuki Ling in Onmyoji 1 before.

The main reason is that the thought of the original Asakura Reimu was sacrificed at the beginning, and this cycle of sacrifice will continue forever, makes my heart feel distressed. ”

As an RPG game that can be discussed in this way, the "Onmyoji" series can be regarded as a strange thing in the small healing game.

Before the appearance of Onmyoji, even if there were like-minded people, everyone was ashamed to reveal that they were RPG gamers, but Onmyoji had a special magic -

If you don't talk to someone after playing the game, you feel like you're dying.

I can't sleep at night.

So let's talk about it.

If nothing else, it is to find a sense of identity and solace for each other.

After the grief is shared, it becomes—

The grief of many.

"It's really hateful, Yuki Ling was also stabbed a second time. Although that body is no longer hers, I can't help but cry when I see the middle-aged Asakura bursting into tears when facing her. ”

"Indeed...... Even if I know it's the Yaqi Snake, but that body is Yuki Spirit, if it were, I guess I wouldn't be able to do it. ”

"Isn't it the same on Moriyama Taira's side?"

The crowd fell silent at the same time.

After a while, a man spoke, "Gu Yuan Tsubaki." Sinei. ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"Furuhara Tsubaki, Nishine."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

"But, still, let's support Pokeni's game, what if the old thief doesn't make games in the future?"

"Yes."
