158. Heartbroken

The plot ends abruptly here.

At the same time, the picture is playing one by one, and the subtitles are displayed on the right.

Accompanied by the beautiful music of Atsushi Shirakawa, there is a faint sadness.

【THE END】

[Producer: Furuhara Tsubaki]

[Painting supervision: Hayao Miyazaki]

[Script: Jun Asaeda]

[Music and sound effects: Atsushi Shirakawa / Jun Maeda]

[Special Painting: Goro Miyazaki]

……

Furukawa Hirosawa was silent for two seconds before coming back to his senses.

The screen returns to the initial screen, and the interface has changed.

Turned into a fantastic, bizarre interface.

It seems that the production team is presenting the scene of the second week from [Nalai's perspective].

There is an additional option in the menu bar, called [Nalai's Painting]

Click on it to see Nalai's strange graffiti, which seems to be chaotic, and there are no meaningless symbols at all, but Furukawa Hirozawa knows that these are painted fathers.

And when you look at any of these pictures, it will show you what this would look like in a normal person's eyes.

Very interesting little easter egg.

But when you look at the content recorded in these paintings, you will be inexplicably moved.

The "truth" of every painting is a happy time with my father.

Of course, there are also those who spend time with other heroines.

It can be said that it is very ingenious.

The option to start the game has also been changed to [Second Week]

And when Furukawa Ozer clicks the button, a prompt pops up on it:

[The second week will re-experience the game from Nalai's point of view, are you sure?] 】

Well?

Is it actually a game from Nalai's point of view?

So what will mom and dad, and what will the world look like?

Pokeni is too extravagant, right?,I actually made two sets of art resources.,I said.,This game board is so big.。

And......

The old thief of the ancient plains is completely using Master Miyazaki as a cow and horse!

……

Want to start the second week?

Curious though. But Furukawa didn't do that.

He silently lowered the handle.

I don't plan to start the second week right away.

The heart is inexplicably calm.

It's also strange to say that LL was moved, but after it was over, it didn't make people feel sad at all.

Or rather, all sorrow is replaced by emotion.

In the end, the actor found that the painting was "all fathers", and at that moment Hirosawa Furukawa himself burst into tears.

The reason for the tears is very simple, it is because of emotion.

Narai, who had been by her side, is gone, and each of these paintings speaks of the daughter's love for her father.

Is there anything purer and more moving in the world than this?

Especially when the truth was revealed, Hirozer Furukawa's heart was moved beyond measure.

This is the purest touch of the love that Furuhara Tsubaki has put on the hearts of players, father and daughter, family, and all the beauty after returning.

And at the same time, when the actor discovers that the daughter he gave birth to with Moriyama wasabi is Nalai, everything is led to the highest point.

At this moment,

A perfect closed loop is formed on the plot.

Hirosawa Furukawa closed his eyes and thought about what had happened.

Since the current daughter is the former Nalai, can it be said that -

In the future, when Narai grows up, she may feel great pain because of the loss of her father, so she makes a wish to see her father after receiving the Mermaid's Tears.

No, is it a wish to swim with Dad?

Thinking of this, Furukawa Hirosawa couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

From the plot point of view, this wish is still very possible.

Because it was his father's wish, and by the way, Nalai's own wish, so when they swam, Nalai disappeared.

I don't know if I have returned to the future.

But at least Nalai's wish was granted.

Uh-huh.

Hirosawa Furukawa nodded.

That's probably it.

How to say that?

Although the plot ends abruptly here, everything has been explained clearly.

The follow-up process doesn't seem to be necessary.

Or -

A little mercy from the old thief of the ancient plains, he didn't do it.

In LL, the game is not advanced all the way to the scene of Natsuki Miyazaki's death like CL does.

The thought of his young daughter crying at the loss of her father made Hiroshi Furukawa want to cry.

You must know that when he saw the loss of his daughter in CL, Furukawa Hiroze was devastated.

That was the first time that the old thief of the ancient plains showed the death of the heroine and her daughter so vividly.

In this way, it is really kind to end when LL reaches a high point.

But...... With Mori Wasabi's character, even without Natsuki, she can still take good care of Nalai and this family, right?

Thanks to Furuhara Tsubaki for creating such a strong and kind heroine.

At this point, Hiroshi Furukawa has no motivation to continue with other heroine lines.

Everything is waiting for the future, and let's see the strategies and experiences posted by others in the forum.

"Damn!"

"Damn the old thief of the Ancient Plains!"

"The psychology of the players is all controlled by you!"

"It's really hateful!"

……

And, oddly enough-

When Hirosawa Furukawa experienced being moved and shed tears, he felt inexplicably healed in his heart.

It's a truly amazing feeling.

He couldn't figure out why for a moment.

But when I stood up, I felt extremely energetic.

It's as if some strange magic has been applied, and the whole person's heart has been moistened.

It's weird.

This has never been experienced in the previous games of the ancient thief.

And he didn't have the slightest idea of hacking the old thief to death.

On the contrary, there is an inexplicable gratitude in my heart.

At first, Hirosawa Furukawa himself didn't quite understand why.

Until he goes to bed and closes his eyes.

This game has a lot of momentum, and when you close your eyes, your mind is full of Nalai.

I can't sleep, and the scenes in the game are constantly passing in front of my eyes.

It's like a messy ball of thread, entwined with Hirosawa Furukawa.

Until the words of Pokeni President Qing Zhiyuan appeared-"LL and CL are two sides of the same coin.,Complement each other.,Although the two games are completely different in terms of setting.,But it's like a mirror image.。 ”

"Ahh

At this moment, Furukawa Hirosawa was shocked and sat up from the bed.

He finally caught the thread.

……

If CL is broken, incomplete life is complete.

So to LL here, it is a stitch.

Through time, the sense of brokenness is stitched, so that the broken life becomes complete.

Huh?

Thinking of this, Furukawa Hirozawa got goosebumps all over his body.

If you think about it, it is.

In CL, the male protagonist went from being alone to starting a family, which is everyone's life experience, and it was very complete so far, but it soon became broken because of the departure of his wife.

Even if she can regain the courage to live with her daughter in the future and reconcile with her father again, an important member of this family is missing.

Until the end, her daughter Xiaoxi left, and the male protagonist became alone again.

And LL is the complete opposite.,The male protagonist was with his daughter from the beginning.,In this single-parent family,The mother's position has been missing until Moriyama Wasabi adds in.。

At this moment, the family becomes whole.

Although Narai disappeared because of the fulfillment of her wish, in the days to come, Natsuki Miyazaki and Wasabi Moriyama also have a complete family.

Narai......

What a kind child.

Because of her arrival, Natsuki, who was suffering from cancer, regained her courage for life, and no longer ran away from her feelings, bravely accepting Moriyama Wasabi's love.

That's actually quite remarkable.

Furukawa Hirosawa couldn't help but moisten his eyes when he thought of this.

If it were him, would he really be able to accept Aoi calmly when he learned that his life was near?

Is it really possible to get married, have children, and live a happy life like a normal person?

He didn't dare to imagine.

Just thinking about it makes me lose the courage to live.

If it weren't for Narai, Natsuki's world would be so bleak!

From this point of view, the future daughter saved herself.

No wonder......

Furukawa covered his forehead and laughed happily.

No wonder it feels like being healed.

Because the kernel of LL is the process of salvation.

Whether it's for the male protagonist, or Nalai, or Moriyamasabi, they have all been saved from each other.

Originally, several incomplete individuals were put together and became complete.

That's the story.

How not to be impressed?

But in addition to being moved, he inexplicably gained strength and redemption.

Lifeline.

This is the lifeline of each character in the game, and the broken lives are stitched together.

At the same time, it is also a lifeline for the player.

No matter how much suffering you encounter in your life, what kind of setbacks you encounter, when you experience this game, you will gain strength from it.

"Ah~ The old thief of the ancient plains is too powerful."

Moreover, everything is as the P company slogan says, LL is a mirror image of CL, complementing each other, and the two games make the two states and time trends of life complete.

Is this the ancient hara Tsubaki?

……

There is no sadness.

Although the process was moving, I once wanted to make players have the urge to send blades, but after the game experience, they were inexplicably healed and calmed down.

This fantastic experience took countless players by storm at once.

Many players posted on the pokeni forum, saying, "This is really a magical experience"

"Because all the wishes have been fulfilled, everyone has no regrets. As players, we have no regrets. ”

"Although I don't have my father in my future life, I think it's enough for Nalai to re-experience the love of her father in the past, right?

In the future, with this experience, I will live well with my mother, and such an ending is really not sad at all. ”

"That's it, you guys put it in your own hands, if you have cancer, you can still have such a good wife and children, aren't you happy?"

"Ah......h

"In short, thanks to the LIFELINE brought by the old thief of the ancient plains, the sadness and regret experienced in CL were healed here in LL."

"yes, it's really weird, I still haven't really figured out why."

"I think, probably because the old thief is a kind person, right?"

"Ah~ Are you sure you're not talking back?"

"Yes, kind man, so kind that people want to kill him."

……

Although the players are all joking, in this world, there is really one person who wants to kill Furuhara Tsubaki.

No, to be precise, he wanted to kill Qing Zhiyuan.

When Miyazaki saw the picture that appeared at the end of the game, he was dumbfounded.

"Ah, Suzuki P, come and see."

Hearing the voice of the Miyazaki hamster, Toshio Suzuki, who was holding a meeting with others below on publicity matters, couldn't help frowning.

The female assistant on the other side was looking at Toshio Suzuki with strange eyes.

"What's wrong with Suzuki-san?"

"Ahh Toshio Suzuki touched his smooth head, "But it's okay, you can continue to discuss." ”

After speaking, Toshio Suzuki stepped up the stairs with his calves.

In the game room, Hayao Miyazaki is sitting on the bench with a displeased expression.

But the eyes are red.

It looks like I've cried just now.

You dare to call me up after you have sorted out your emotions at this time, right?

Toshio Suzuki thought to himself.

"What's wrong, Miyazaki."

Toshio Suzuki walked in.

"That's not right." Miyazaki pointed to the TV.

In the picture, there is a painting by Nalai.

"Huh? Isn't that right? What's wrong? Toshio Suzuki pretended to be confused, "The game is pretty good, isn't it?" And I really didn't expect that Miyazaki you could fight here by yourself. ”

Miyazaki pouted.

"This game is not difficult at all, but when you encounter an option, you can make the corresponding choice according to your heart."

"Damn, I won't be afraid of even difficult games, okay, the main reason why I didn't play it before was because I was too busy, and sometimes my hands would get dirty with paint."

"Yes," Toshio Suzuki agreed, "so I shouldn't be needed in the future, right?" ”

Miyazaki hamster choked for a moment, but immediately said with a calm face:

"It's not that, it's the LIFE-LINE game."

"Oh yes, what's wrong with the game?"

Miyazaki stood up and pointed to the TV,

"The illustrations used here are wrong, I haven't seen any of these paintings, and Furuhara Tsubaki didn't use the pictures we provided."

"Huh?" Toshio Suzuki pretended to be surprised, and leaned over to take a closer look, "I think the painting is pretty good, and aren't you quite impressed?" ”

"It's a good drawing, yes, and I'm very impressed."

Miyazaki didn't lie either, "However, that's not what I'm going to say, Pokeni didn't use the paintings we provided as required by the contract, which is very uncontractual, it's this thing."

I didn't expect that Qing Zhiyuan, a child, looked pure and harmless, but in the end, he put us together.

He did this without notifying us in advance, which is really unkind! ”

It can be seen that Miyazaki is very angry.

But I've never seen him so angry when the Valley of the Wind was ruined by other game companies before.

Toshio Suzuki understands better why he is angry -

The main thing is that he has a good impression and trust of Qing Zhiyuan, but he has been let down by the person he likes at this time, and there is a feeling of being deeply betrayed.

Anyone would get hurt, right?

Thinking of this, Toshio Suzuki almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Actually, Miyazaki-san, the content of these original paintings was told by President Qing that Ghibli was used instead of Miyazaki-san's paintings, and I agreed."

"Huh?!"

Miyazaki's eyes widened and he looked at Toshio Suzuki in disbelief.

Good fellow, it turns out that the betrayer is someone else!
