Is it not a galgame?

……

[Tachibana Rain] has been resurrected, but not in the way Sakata Akatsuki remembered.

Now she has become extremely young and cute, but looks like a completely different stranger.

The girl Yu smiled, picked up the crutches from the ground, helped Sakata Xiao sit on the wheelchair, then went to the cabinet to find the antihypertensive medicine, poured warm water, and handed it to Sakata Xiao.

At this moment, looking at the girl in front of him, Sakata Akatsuki's heart suddenly calmed down.

It was indeed his rain that returned.

To be precise, it is the body that carries the soul of Rain.

Yu said that he didn't know what happened. He had fallen into a long dark sleep, but suddenly woke up.

The place where I live is strange, but also warm.

When he looked in the mirror, he saw a young, unfamiliar girl.

It should be that the soul is attached to this girl.

However, when Yu thought of Sakata Xiao who was alone, he immediately rushed over in this body.

"This body belongs to someone else." Tachibana Yu laughed.

The young girl is very cute, with a small round face and big eyes that are like two shining black gems, always full of curiosity and cleverness.

When she stood up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing two small canine teeth, which added a bit of playfulness and friendliness.

"Eh? Is it that outrageous?"

Sakata Akira thought that his wife would come back as a zombie.

"Isn't that too scary?"

Tachibana Yu raised her hand and hit him coquettishly, "Do you want to live with zombies?"

"Think about it. As long as it's raining, anything is fine."

Sakata Akatsuki raised his head and thought seriously, "Perhaps becoming a zombie is the best choice."

"Hmm... That's right. I can live forever. The only downside is that I might be hunted by others, right?"

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

Sakata Akatsuki's eyes fell on Tachibana Yuxin's body, "Then what about this girl?"

"I don't know. I'm sorry for borrowing someone else's body." Tachibana Yu frowned slightly, "How pitiful this child is. I've taken over his body."

Thinking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in the eyes of the two people.

Yu's eyes fell on her chest, and she seemed a little uncomfortable. In terms of body shape, the girl was much bigger than when she was young.

"Want to touch it?"

Tachibana Yu asked.

Before Sakata Xiao could speak, Tachibana Yu took a step back, holding her chest.
"abnormal!"

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet!"

……

Hahahaha… Yamada Masaharu almost laughed his ass off when he got to this point.

The appearance of rain really made the entire game atmosphere relaxed and lively.

so amazing.

……

After tying Sakata Akira's shoelaces, Tachibana Yu pushed him out the door. It was drizzling outside.

It's like the sky is crying.

However, for Sakata Akatsuki at this moment, the rain became gentle and beautiful again.

The sound of rain around is like the gentle whisper of rain, making people want to fall asleep.

"I love rain so much!!!" the girl shouted.

Sakata Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing Yu Qingchun's appearance, his eyes were slightly wet and he murmured, "Me too."

……

the next day.

When Sakata Xiao woke up in the morning, Yu was not around, and there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a young lady.

Tied with the familiar rain braids.

"Hi, senior, nice to meet you again. My name is Tachibana Yu, thank you for your guidance." The young woman clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed to Sakata Akatsuki.

Ah hello!

It’s completely different from yesterday’s rain, okay?
However, Sakata Akatsuki quickly accepted this setting:
The new Mrs. Tachibana behaved exactly like the Rain in his memory.

She still handed him medicine, brought him water, and tied his shoe laces with ease.

In other words, Sakata Akatsuki's wish to be with Yu forever was fulfilled in a magical yet hilarious way:
Yu's soul attaches itself to a new body every day. Yesterday she was a high school girl, and today she is a married young woman.

Sakata Akatsuki has no idea who it will be tomorrow.

Even the rain itself is not sure.

Although feeling a little melancholy, Sakata Akatsuki breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the girl who was possessed by the rain yesterday can return to her normal life.

If one's wish can only be realized by depriving another person of his or her life, it would be too cruel.

Yu definitely wouldn't agree, right?
Looking up at the young woman Yu, Sakata Xiao found that the same relieved expression appeared on her face.

It didn't rain today and it was sunny outside.

However, the young woman Yu suggested that they go out for a walk while the weather was good.

The two went out, and the warm sunlight outside shone on Sakata Akira's body.

The neighbor's wife was about to go out, and when she saw Sakata, she greeted him warmly, "Good morning, Mr. Sakata."

Her sight fell on the young woman Yu. The neighbor's wife looked at her for a while and said with a smile, "Is this your granddaughter?"

"I am his wife." Tachibana Yu laughed.

"Nutrition..." The neighbor was so scared that he quickly hid back and closed the door.

……

On the third day, it was rain for supermarket clerks.

Even when he arrived, the clerk Yu hadn't had time to change out of his work clothes.

The clerk Yu wore a red baseball cap and had a high ponytail, looking youthful and energetic.

When Shoji Yamada reached this point in his play, he suddenly discovered something remarkable.

I'll go.

This setting is quite amazing.

No wonder, I was wondering why there is only one female protagonist in galgame.

After all this time, it turns out that although there is only one female protagonist, Tachibana Ame, she can change her body!
The only problem is:
Is this considered a single female lead or multiple female leads?

If it is a story with only one female protagonist, the male protagonist can get a new wife every day.

If you say there are multiple heroines, they are the same soul.

And think about it carefully,

70-year-old Sakata Aki seems unable to do anything.

"Good morning, Mr. Sakata." The neighbor's wife greeted him and cautiously poked her round head out, her eyes falling on the shop assistant Yu.

Only after confirming that it was not the young woman Yu from yesterday did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sakata, if you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will try my best to help.

By the way, this is..."

The clerk Yu tilted her head and showed a sweet and lively smile, "Hello, ma'am, I am Mr. Sakata's wife."

Ah this...!
The neighbor's wife was so scared that she ran back home and slammed the door.

too frightening.

It's horrible... drawl.

A new wife a day, what is Mr. Sakata doing?

The neighbor's youngest son came over and tugged at her sleeve, "Hey, Mom, when I grow up, can I have as many wives as Grandpa did?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

……

Yamada Masaharu was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. He felt that the script of the old thief Guyuan was so powerful in stirring up the emotions of the players.

It's almost to the point where I can make you cry when I want to and laugh when I want to.

Ah! Fall!

Who do you think we are, you damned old thief Gu Yuan!

It is so sad when a loved one leaves!

……

For the next 30 days, Tachibana Yu would possess the body of another stranger every day.

Come in the morning and leave in the evening.

In other words, although there is only one Tachibana Ame, Yamada Shoji seems to have experienced 30 different heroines in this game.

……

On the 30th day, it was Teacher Rain.

Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he looks particularly intellectual.

Although Teacher Yu has a stern expression, her words and actions are very gentle, and the way she is dressed gives people a strange illusion.

"Morning, Mr. Sakata."

The neighbor's wife is now able to greet Mr. Sakata freely.

Before Teacher Yu could speak, the neighbor's wife squinted her eyes and showed a friendly smile, "Morning, Mrs. Sakata."

Teacher Yu was stunned for a second, then nodded slightly, acknowledging Mrs. Sakata's identity, "Morning, Mrs. Asano."

Ok.

Mrs. Asano said, I'm used to it now.

Even if you, Mr. Sakata, bring an alien home, I won't be shocked.

……

The day goes by quickly.

Since the Mermaid's Tears came into play, every day is fresh and full of expectations.

But at the same time, I am reluctant.

I finally got used to the new look of rain, but it had to say goodbye to me the next day.

At night, it seemed as if I had a premonition that Teacher Yu was about to leave, and I didn't know what Tachibana Yu would be like when she arrived tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the night, Sakata Xiao and teacher Yu strolled on the long embankment.

Looking at the flowing river, tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

He still remembers the scene when Yu jumped into the river for the first time.

"Rain, do you remember when you took off your clothes and jumped into the river? I was totally terrified."

"Then let's do it again?" Teacher Yu suggested gently.

"Huh?" Sakata Akatsuki shuddered, not yet figuring out the meaning of this sentence.

"You want to see my body, right?" Yu frowned and smiled, "No, you want to see other people's bodies. Pervert!"

Because it was someone else's body, Sakata Akatsuki didn't dare to do anything to Tachibana Yu.

As long as Yu can accompany me, that's enough. "Forget about other people's bodies, but please lend me your hand." Teacher Yu said lovingly.

The light stretched the shadows of the two people to the ground, and the shadow of teacher Yu stretched out his hand towards Sakata Xiao.

A pitch-black shadow raised a small corner.

Sakata Akatsuki also stretched out his hand.

Even though the two people's hands did not actually touch each other, when he saw the overlapping shadows on the ground, Sakata Akatsuki felt extremely sweet inside.

Shadow's hands were held together, and Shadow Yu squatted down and rested his head on the old man's shoulder.

Even though time has aged their faces, their shadows cannot tell their age, as if the young Sakata Akatsuki and Tachibana Yu are still frozen there.

……

However, the old man’s shadow tilted his head slightly and fell towards Shadow Rain.

The camera returns from the shadows to reality.

The dim street lights illuminated Sakata Akira's profile.

His head drooped to one side, facing the direction of Teacher Yu, with a smile still on his lips, but his eyes were tightly closed.

"Mr. Sakata." As if sensing something was wrong, Teacher Yu called out softly.

"Mr. Sakata." She called again.

In the silent night, the voice sounded flustered and confused.

"Mr. Sakata!!!"

……

The screen suddenly went black.

When the light came on again, the scene changed to a cemetery.

There is a new grave next to Tachibana Yu's tombstone.

The name [Sakata Akatsuki] was written on it.

Although he had a strong premonition last night, it was not until now, after seeing this scene, that Yamada Masaharu was sure of it.

The protagonist has passed away.

So what about Tachibana Rain?

This was the first question that came to Yamada Shoji's mind.

Wouldn't that mean Yu is living alone, changing his body every day, but has no one to rely on.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so heartbroken.

The camera zoomed out and saw a circle of people wearing black mourning clothes standing next to Sakata Akira's grave.

Soon, Shoji Yamada realized something was wrong.

Isn’t the guy wearing glasses yesterday’s teacher Yu?
There is also the long-haired young woman Yu, the shop assistant Yu...

Why are you all gathered here?

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, leaving thick lines on everyone's shoulders.

After a long while, Teacher Yu said calmly,

"Today's weather is really nice. It's the kind of rainy day that Mr. and Mrs. Sakata like."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Mr. Sakata and Mrs. Sakata, I wish you happiness." Teacher Yu had tears in her eyes.

……

At the same time, Tachibana Yu's monologue sounded.

The camera keeps zooming out, then switching to a high school library.

On the table, there was a thick book with the words "Tears of Mermaid" written on it in large letters.

The pages of the book are gently turned, and on the title page is the author's message.

[Legend has it that a mermaid's tears can fulfill a person's wish, but will also bring about an unforgettable relationship.

Well, here is the fairy tale about mermaids that I wrote for you. 】

[The first story, the man in bed]

The pages of the book turned, and a picture of the man in the bed appeared:
The bed and the hedgehog girl sat on a tree stump, looking up at the starry sky, with fireworks rising above them.

[The second story, the person who goes in reverse]

……

In Yamada Shoji's mind, all the past events, memories about pokeni, and all the works in the Tears of Mermaid series emerged with this passage.

I don't know why, but my eyes are already wet.

[The last story is also about myself]

[I like a senior named Sakata Akira. I have liked him since high school.

The seniors always have a calm look that sees through the world, as if they are detached from this world.

But I know that he has a passionate heart that loves life.

Kind and gentle, always thinking of others, this is my senior.

……

After graduation, I joined the company where my senior worked as I wished...

Later, after my confession, the senior agreed.

We had a happy life.

……

Time is passing, and now I don't have much time left.

The only thing I'm worried about is how my dull, introverted and self-deprecating senior, the one I loved the most, will be able to survive after I'm gone.

My life is about to end, but the mermaid's tears are not over yet.

Dear readers.

Thank you for helping me finish this story.

Let him, my beloved mermaid prince, get the happiness he wants.

On my behalf, give him hope.

Thank you, warm strangers I have never met.

——Tachibana Rain】

……

What does this mean?!

Yamada Shoji's head buzzed.

In my mind, the images of all the heroines from the past 30 days emerged one by one.

He suddenly shuddered all over and understood:
How can this be the possession of Tachibana Yu?

The past 30 days have been 30 independent strangers. They have read the story of "Tears of Mermaid" written by Tachibana Ame, and in the end they chose to play the role of Tachibana Ame to give Sakata Akatsuki hope to survive.

The kindness and warmth she received from Tachibana Ue was repaid by taking care of Sakata Akatsuki on her behalf.

This is a group of strangers respecting and fulfilling the last wishes of a deceased author.

The greatest touching thing in the world is the kindness shown by strangers.

Just like streams converging to form a huge river in the chest, crashing and roaring.

Then it burst out from my eye sockets.

Yamada Masaharu cried uncontrollably and his whole body began to tremble.

……

During the game, the scene cuts back to Sakata Akatsuki's grave.

Teacher Yu walked to the tombstone with a warm smile, turned around and opened an envelope.

"This is the eulogy that Mr. Sakata prepared himself. I will read it to you here."

【To the well-wishers:

Thank you for your company and care during this time.

Yu and I have received your kindness, thank you.

I wish you happiness.

Beautiful people deserve a beautiful life.

It's really funny to say, I knew it was fake rain, but everyone tried so hard to act, I didn't have the heart to expose it.

But I also enjoy and am grateful for meeting you in the last moments of my life.

Each one is a shining rain.

How can you tell?

Maybe it’s the feeling. If it’s real rain, I would definitely be able to feel it.

Because, in this world, there really is something called "love".

Yu told me the story about mermaid before she died.

There is another legend that she did not mention, but I understand it:
The so-called legend of another mermaid must be referring to the story between me and her.

Thank you for listening to our story.

If there really are mermaids in this world, I hope she can be happy.

I hope the mermaid’s tears can bring happiness to people.

thank you all.

My favorite, kind rain.

And you.

——Sakata Akatsuki】

END
……

The game is over here.

At the end of the video, what appears is not a list of production staff, but a dance performed by Sakata Akatsuki and Tachibana Ume.

Two white-haired old men walked towards each other from the darkness.

In the sky, the snow turned into rain and fell down.

As the camera turned, Sakata Akira and Tachibana Yu became younger. They smiled at each other. Yu gently put her hands on Sakata Akira's shoulders, and Sakata Akira put his arms around her waist.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes,
One last dance in the rain.

So beautiful.

……

Yamada Masaharu was completely stunned.
It turns out that Sakata Akatsuki knows everything.

"Tears of the Mermaid" is different from all the galgames he has played before.

There is no magical realism.

No weird settings.

There are no extreme joys or sorrows, no great ups or downs.

An ordinary but warm life.
Lovely and kind stranger...

But that's it...

Yamada Shoji couldn't stop crying.
