151. In that winter

After buying the game disc, it was already past 8 p.m. when I got home.

Hungry, Hirosawa Furukawa had to make himself dinner.

There are pros and cons to a person's life.

The good thing is that it's very free.

The disadvantage is that when you get home, you have to cook even a bowl of hot rice yourself.

I don't know why, maybe it's because of his recent age, Furukawa Hirosawa always has an inexplicable feeling of wanting to get married.

However, when he thinks of Nagisa Furukawa and Shio Okazaki in CLANNAD, he is a little intimidated.

Furukawa Hirozer thinks he doesn't have the ability to start a family yet.

It's not that he doesn't have the financial ability, but now Furukawa himself is also an old-timer who has worked for a long time, and he was successfully promoted to section chief last month, and his annual income is more than 4 million.

This can fully support the expenses of an ordinary family.

However, Hiroshi Furukawa believes that he does not have the determination to carry his family, his wife and children.

Especially when I think that my wife and children may become unhappy, just like the characters in CL, maybe one day tragedy will befall me......

Just thinking about it, I have no intention of getting married.

According to Furukawa Ozawa's own philosophy, if you can't stand the death of your wife and children, then the best thing to do is not to bring your children into the world and not to start a family.

This way you won't be sad and sad and wake up crying while dreaming.

Yes~

While eating dinner, I don't know why Furukawa Hirosawa had an urge to cry in his heart.

I want to cry so much.

Damn it!

Is this the sequelae brought to me by the old thief of the ancient plains?!

Damn, even if you don't suffer misfortune like in the game, even if you play too many games of P Club, you have lost the courage to fall in love!

In a way, maybe this is another misfortune?

Furukawa Hirozawa's whole body trembled, and the chopsticks in his hand were almost shaken off by this terrible thought.

Terrible!

Isn't it true that the old thief of the ancient plains knows witchcraft and curses me?

Thinking of this, Hiroshi Furukawa couldn't help but get up, went to the study to turn on the computer, and then logged on to Pokeni's website and posted a new post-

"Friends who have played the pokeni game, have you successfully fallen in love and got married and had children?

Additional question: After playing the game of Pokeni, did everyone become lucky or more unlucky? ”

After posting, and without waiting for the other players' replies, Hiroshi Furukawa returned to the living room.

After all, the number of people who have computers in Neon is still very limited, and many messages in online forums will not be replied to immediately, and they generally need to ferment for a period of time.

If the moderators think your post is particularly good and valuable, they may be able to help you refine it.

However, Furukawa Hirozer does not have any hope that his question will be refined and put to the top.

His immediate priority now was to quickly kill the dinner in his hand and start the game.

……

The time came to half past nine in the evening.

After washing, Furukawa Ozer finally mustered up the courage to turn on the game console and TV.

Put the disc of LL in and launch the game.

The picture is white.

There is a common notice of the galgame game of the P society:

[In this work.]

All content is purely fictional, including characters, place names, relationships, etc.

If there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence]

Immediately after the font disappeared, a large POKENI logo appeared.

[Game is life]

【Please start a life journey here】

When Hirosawa Furukawa first saw Pokeni's advertising slogan, he was actually very moved.

Everyone lives only once, but we can take a new journey by experiencing someone else's life or by living in a game.

In time, it's like entering a parallel world.

Especially after CL, Hirozer Furukawa realized this even more deeply.

Where is the game made by P Society, and which game is directly in love, married, and had children until the wife and children died?

What they do is clearly life.

WRITE CLANNAD, READ LIFE.

The player's evaluation of CL is Furukawa Hirosawa's own inner thoughts.

"Life, Life, ......"

But now—

His heart was rock-solid, and there was no fluctuation at all.

This is the sequelae of playing the ancient thief game, when you have experienced the most tragic life, after the vicissitudes of life, and then see that the game is life and there is not so much emotion.

Not necessarily, though.

Some players are the other way around.

After going through everything, it's easier to touch.

In this regard, Furukawa Hirozawa said that he himself often jumps back and forth between the two, and even sometimes Furukawa does not know himself.

"Ah~ life is really difficult to understand?"

"Especially my own life."

Furukawa Hirosawa let out a sigh and said something very difficult.

I always feel that there are many of myself living in his body.

I can't even understand myself.

During the game:

The text vanished, then faded to white.

In the middle is a large ancient tree, and the ground is covered with snow.

Only the font is black, but it contrasts sharply with white.

When he saw the start screen, Furukawa only felt a slight stinging in his eyes.

I really admire the P company, I admire the old thief of the ancient plain and Hayao Miyazaki, to make such an interface, are you really not afraid that players will get snow blindness or something?

But thinking about it carefully, the corners of Furukawa Hirozawa's mouth inadvertently showed a meaningful smile.

Hey, that's the opposite of CL.

It can be said that it is completely opposite, but the contrast is somewhat obvious.

The main interface of CL is mainly green, green grass, full of life, highlighting a [spring]

And now the eyes are full of snow white, although Miyazaki has done it, it looks white, if you look closely, there are still other colors and different shades intertwined.

But the main tone is obviously "Winter"

From the very beginning, it is certainly not that simple to tell you that this game is not so simple with similar compositions but different scenery.

I have to say that the old thief of the ancient plains is really too bad.

What is a mirror?

What is meant to be complementary?

Maybe it was foreshadowing from the beginning.

Furukawa Hirosawa only hopes that the content of the game will not disappoint him.

On the right is the menu bar.

It says big LIFE-LINE.

Here they are:

【New Game】

【Load】

【Settings】

【Staff】

【Exit】

At the same time, staying in this interface, the relaxing and pleasant music slowly sounded.

This music almost hooked Furukawa Hirosawa's tears at once.

Although the melody of the music itself is completely different from that of CL, you can clearly feel the stylistic similarities between the two.

It's all the kind of music that is slow and soft, soothing you like the wind.

However, hearing such music, Hiroshi Furukawa couldn't help but get scared.

Scared LL is a tearjerker game.

I'm afraid it's not a tearjerker game again.

Damn it!

The old thief of the ancient plains is so hateful, and now they are almost PTSD.

Taking a deep breath, Hirosawa Furukawa selects [New Game] and presses the button.

The game begins.

The whole picture is snow-white.

A line of words appeared below, with a blue background and white lettering.

It reads: "Endless White World"

【……】

【Snow ......】

[Yes, it's snow]

The male protagonist's monologue rang out.

It seems to have a dream-like feeling.

Huh?!

This is similar to the beginning.

There was a moment when Hirosawa Furukawa thought that he was not playing LL, but CL.

Because of this beginning, including the lines, it can't be said to be too similar to CL, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

But soon he dispelled the doubts in his mind.

Because a door appears in the middle of the picture.

The door stood alone in the snow, a bit like any door in Doraemon.

However, on the other side of the door and on this side, you can only see snow all over the world.

This is obviously the bad taste of the old thief of the ancient plains.

It's two different games, but through similar scenes and dialogues, you can connect the two.

Heavy snow is falling.

Falling from the sky like light.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Then in the main perspective, the actor [Natsuki Miyazaki] reached out and gently held the doorknob.

When he saw the protagonist's name, Hirosawa Furukawa couldn't help but complain-

It's too nasty for the old thief to take a name, isn't it?

Isn't the name a combination of himself and Hayao Miyazaki?

Miyazaki + Furuhara Tsubaki's sense of déjà vu.

However, it's really ironic that it's a winter scene, but it's called Natsuki.

Squeak.

The male protagonist pulls the doorknob and opens the door, revealing a weak little girl standing outside.

I'm only about 3 or 4 years old

With a round face, big sparkling eyes, a heavy cotton coat, a big woolen hat and warm ears, and a pair of fluffy gloves, she looked round.

Yes~

When I saw this girl, Hirosawa Furukawa's whole heart was budding.

"That...... Who are you looking for? Natsuki Miyazaki asked tentatively.

At the same time, the main view camera goes down, giving Furukawa Oza a sense of immersion, as if he is really crouching down.

Natsuki Miyazaki reached out and touched the little girl's head.

I saw her post it with a look of enjoyment.

Immediately after, before the male protagonist could react, the girl pounced.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

The little girl screamed affectionately.

But Natsuki Miyazaki was confused.

"Huh?!"

[Whose child is this, why do you call dad directly when you meet a strange boy? ] 】

[The problem is, I don't even have a girlfriend.] 】

[If this is seen by others, I will probably be disgusted by girls in my life, right? ] 】

At this moment, Natsuki Miyazaki's glasses were pulled off by the girl's round little hand.

The camera close-up to the glasses, reflecting the appearance of the male protagonist.

At the same time, the lenses shimmered brightly.

……

Immediately after the shot, suddenly everything.

turned snow white.

[By the way, it was during this snow season that I met her]

[My future daughter——

Nalai. 】

……

The glasses swayed, and white clouds in the sky flew over them.

Then the picture spun from the sky and fell to the ground.

I saw that in the white snow, the male protagonist wearing a pair of black-framed glasses was walking holding the girl's hand.

The little girl has also grown from the original 3 or 4 years old to almost 6 or 7 years old.

This transition is really fantastic.

Although Hiroshi Furukawa has a lot of complaints about the [low-looking] male protagonist who wears glasses, he still feels beautiful when he sees this scene.

Hayao Miyazaki's painting standards are really top-notch.

And the male protagonist and the girl walked one after the other, and the one who walked faster was the little girl.

In the composition of the whole picture, the daughter Nalai is obviously a little more forward, and the center of gravity of the whole person is forward, striding forward, dragging the male protagonist.

The male protagonist was just dragged forward by her with a smile.,But looking into the distance.,It seems to have found something.。

is a simple picture, but the personalities of both people are shown at once.

Daughter Nalai is obviously a little impatient, and there is a feeling of inexhaustible vitality all over her body.

And the male protagonist looks calm and relaxed, but in fact, there is a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, indicating that he is a more cautious father.

It's clear that the whole world is cold, but this picture inexplicably gives people a warm feeling.

Seeing this, Furukawa Hirosawa couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Damn it......

I think the tide.

In CL, the male protagonist also led his daughter Xi to walk in the snow like this, wanting to go to the flower field they had been to, and wanting to play with his daughter again.

It's a pity that it wasn't possible.

Shio died in the snow, in the arms of Tomoya Okazaki.

In the follow-up, Shioru Okazaki has a picture of sleeping under a big tree and being found by Ibukiko after waking up, but it doesn't vividly depict Tomoya and his daughter playing in the flower field.

……

And now, Natsuki Miyazaki is walking happily in the snow with her daughter Narai Miyazaki.

This stark contrast between similarities and opposites is truly impressive.

Damn it!

Damn the old thief.

This opening is going to make people cry, right?

Furukawa Oza sniffed hard, holding back the sour taste in his heart, and then quickly grabbed the handle and continued to the next step.

The two men left a trail in the snow.

Towards the town in the distance.

"Is this a place where we can be happy?"

The male protagonist asked softly.

"My daughter, Nalai, has suffered from a serious eye disease since she was a child, and she sees things in her eyes that are completely different from mine, and she can't understand the world."

"However, our father and daughter have the same heart to pursue happiness."

"We've been wandering for this purpose."

"Is this a place where we can be happy?" The male protagonist asked again.

"What kind of world is it in the eyes of my daughter?"

The wind blew the snowflakes, swept over the faces of the two men, and flew forward.

Immediately after, a row of small towns appeared in front of them.

The lighting in the game has also changed significantly.

Just when the houses in the town came into view, the colors suddenly changed.

The whole world is no longer white, but pink, as if it is covered with cherry blossoms.

The city in the distance became mottled, as if it had been rendered in a mess by various paints, and it was impossible to make out what it was.

The background music also became cheerful.

"Perhaps, here are the answers we are looking for."

……

Wow!

It's amazing, isn't it?

It's like playing CL.

It's obviously different characters and stories, but they have such a strong sense of similarity.

……
