I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 134: No More Second Dimension
The next day.

Kumaichi Sakamoto and Yamazaki went to the CM comic exhibition with a group of netizens from the black fan group.

In the huge crowd, they unknowingly handed the money in their hands to their "enemies" and then bought a sweet galgame.

Kumaichi Sakamoto did not stay at the comic exhibition for too long. After saying goodbye to netizens in the afternoon, he returned home.

The New Year is approaching, and the company has given us a week-long annual holiday as usual.

Perhaps, in another ordinary time and space, he, now a newlywed, should be busy with his wife carefully choosing what gifts to give to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Now he doesn't even have the courage to go back to his hometown.

Why did it turn out like this?
Because of Haruki Nagayama? Because of the leaves of the cherry tree?
Now when I think about it, I have to thank them. Without them, how could I be so relaxed and enjoy my gaming time by myself?
Fiancée and the like, how can they be as beautiful as in galgam?

Kumaichi Sakamoto decided to be an otaku, an incurable otaku. Even if he was despised by others, he would still be an otaku!
After reaffirming my thoughts.

Kumaichi Sakamoto took out the CD of "White Album, Prologue", put it into the CD drive, and then grasped the handle.

Come to think of it, Yamazaki and I saw at the booth that the members of that club were all very young, probably mostly students.

That’s great, students.

The stories written by students who have not experienced the vicissitudes of society and emotional setbacks must be very naive, and probably will not conform to the logic of reality, right?
But, this is the best way! This way, he can briefly return to the simple and sweet days of his school days.

"Yeah, the style of painting seems pretty good!"

Kumaichi Sakamoto, having forgotten the hardships of life, entered the game with a smile on his face.

The story enters winter.

After the performance, Setsuna confessed her love to Haruki and they started dating officially.

And Touma didn't go far away.

The relationship between the three people continued.

But Touma's attitude towards Haruki became much worse, as if he was always deliberately distancing himself from him.

Setsuna and Haruki's relationship is progressing smoothly.

The two of them always have sweet dates and kiss sweetly in the corner.

As Kumaichi Sakamoto looked at the camera on the screen, he realized that he had been playing for a long time without realizing it.

But it didn't matter, he had no one to take care of anyway.

My friend Yamazaki sent me a message. [What are you doing?]

Sakamoto Kumaichi pressed the controller and replied: [I bought the "White Album" on WanCM.]

[I'm playing too, but I've just started. How do you feel?]

[It's pretty good, no, it's great, but it seems that I can't choose the route, but it doesn't affect the gaming experience. ]

Kumaichi Sakamoto looked up at the CG on the screen, which was kissing Setsuna sweetly.

It seems that he has found the reason why he plays galgame.

Sweet, so sweet! This is the sweetness that doesn’t exist in real life!
He gave a simple smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's hard to believe this is the work of a high school club! I've found a treasure!" Yamazaki's words were filled with surprise. "Sick Touma is so cute! I really want to date her soon!"

"Eh?" Sakamoto Kumaichi frowned slightly as he looked at Yamazaki's words, "Touma, so cute!"

Suddenly I thought of the "Winter Horse" plots that were previously overshadowed by the sweetness with Setsuna.

Unable to choose any route, does that mean that no matter what, Touma can only watch Setsuna and Haruki fall in love?

Struggling with something that he didn't know whether it was important or not, Kumaichi Sakamoto suddenly felt that the candy in his mouth was not as sweet anymore.

When I was about to graduate.

Setsuna, Touma, and Haruki went on a trip together to a hot spring hotel deep in the mountains.

The three of them made an appointment to come here to celebrate every Christmas from now on.

There are many ambiguous and blushing classic plots among them.

There is some ambiguity, and the story is subtly maintained between the "eating peaches" plot that should be in the second dimension and the feeling that it may also happen in reality.

This story is so well written that it is easy to immerse yourself in it.

However, Sakamoto Kumaichi felt that there was something indescribable in the candy, and it seemed a little less sweet.
The time in the game has entered the final semester.

Touma began to deliberately distance himself from the two of them.

Haruki probably went to look for Touma, and she also pretended not to be at home.

Kumaichi Sakamoto couldn't help but frown, thinking about the next plot, will he reconcile with Touma?
But... Haruki and Setsuna are already dating?

Is it "You are all my wings"? If this plot is in other galgames, it will definitely be fine, but...
The smile on Sakamoto Kumaichi's face gradually shifted to the face of a young man who had hurt him twice in a row.

As he played out this plot, he felt inexplicably more and more entangled, and his stomach ached slightly.

Setsuna's birthday is coming soon.

Haruki and Setsuka agreed to celebrate their birthdays together, but Setsuka still hoped that the three of them could celebrate together at home.

Haruki unexpectedly learned that Touma was planning to go abroad after graduation.

I'm heading to the airport today.

After much hesitation, Haruki called Setsuna and lied that he was sick.

Finally, I went to the airport alone to meet Touma.

Late at night, on the street outside the airport.

Haruki questioned, "Why are you planning to leave without saying a word?"

But Touma just pretended to smile and avoided it, denying it.

The two chatted for a long time.

Haruki asked again and again.

And Touma just wanted to escape.

Just when Touma was about to leave, Haruki stopped him, saying, "Don't disappear from my sight."

Haruki asked, "Why don't you ever discuss this with me? Is this all I mean to you?"

Touma bit his lip lightly, his face sullen, but the next moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"That's all you have," Touma said with a smile, then turned his back to Haruki. "That's all you have, so whether you're going abroad or what you're feeling in your heart."

"Aren't we friends?" Haruki continued to ask Touma's back.

"Can you call a guy who you can't even tell me what you want to say a friend?" Touma answered with a trembling laugh.

"No laughing."

"What do you mean you're not allowed to disappear from my sight? Well, you're so self-righteous and say such things." Touma continued to laugh. "Who do you think you are?"

"Don't do this!" Haruki yelled and pulled Touma over.

Touma turned around.

The face of that icy beauty was now covered with tears.

Haruki was stunned.

Before the game, Kumaichi Sakamoto, who was looking forward to a sweet romance, was completely stunned and pressed the buttons to advance the plot with numb hands.

Touma cried and shook off Haruki's hand, "This kind of talk is not something you should hear from your friend's boyfriend!"

Touma cried and yelled.

At this moment, the BGM slowly sounded.

Snow also slowly began to fall from the sky.

"You were the first one to disappear from my sight, weren't you? You were also the one who ran off to a place I couldn't reach without permission, weren't you?"

The person who questioned it turned out to be Touma.

"You're the one who made me stay by your side even though I couldn't reach you. You're the one who came up with this torture!"

"But, but, why do I have to be criticized by you?"

Dong Ma covered his face and cried inconsolably.

in fact.

Touma and Haruki had known each other a long, long time ago.

At that time, Touma had a falling out with his mother and became a problem student who spent his days despairing of himself.

However, Haruki, who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, has always been meddling in Touma's affairs intentionally or unintentionally.

Gradually, Dongma became interested in this good old man.

By chance, Touma saw Haruki practicing playing the guitar and couldn't help but step forward and teach him the correct way to play.

And Haruki reciprocated with teaching materials that could help her learn.

Later, the two of them played together in the music room through the thick wall in tacit understanding.

how romantic.

And at the school festival, the night when the three of them finished their performance.

Before Haruki woke up and was confessed to by Setsuna.

Touma kissed the sleeping Haruki quietly, then ran away shyly with a red face.

And, Xuecai, who was outside the classroom, happened to see this scene.

later
Setsuna and Haruki are dating.

Touma deliberately avoided Haruki, as if he wanted to forget his feelings for him and not care about him.

But, when Setsuna and Haruki were kissing quietly.

Hiding far away, Touma couldn't help crying.
It was obviously me who started it all, the kissing, the hugging, and even liking that guy.

Touma confessed his feelings in tears and pain.

Then, he smiled as if he was relaxed.

"Okay, we finally became friends because I finally said everything I wanted to say."

"However, the moment we became friends, we officially broke off our friendship."

However, Haruki stepped forward and kept moving closer to Touma.

Touma kept backing away. "No, don't come any closer."

She resisted, feeling extremely guilty.

But Haruki still went forward and hugged Touma tightly.

The two hugged each other in the snow.

Haruki, without a doubt, also likes Touma
He has always liked Touma, but he never knew Touma's feelings. When faced with Setsuna's confession, he was too indecisive to refuse.

It was not until now, when he ran to see Touma regardless of Setsuna's birthday, that he realized that he liked Touma.

Kumaichi Sakamoto sat in front of the screen in amazement, feeling a little short of breathing.

After calming down for a long time, he clicked the next page.

A sudden close-up CG was given to Xuecai, who was alone on her birthday, looking at the snowflakes outside the window.

"No, no." Sakamoto Kumaichi felt like he was going to vomit.

Why can't I choose?
Why did the story develop like this? Why did he have to play the scumbag?

Although there are many scumbags in galgme,
But if it were me, what would I do? Choose Yukina, then Fuyuma. Choose Fuyuma, then Yukina.
So are we going to abandon Xuecai?

He was unable to comment on the plot for a moment, and felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

But the subsequent plot was still played.

"no, do not want."

Touma cried and kept rejecting Haruki.

But the body did not dodge.

The two kissed each other.

Touma, who was resisting, couldn't help but hug Haruki.

It was as if I had finally confessed to myself.

But it can be accompanied by Haruki's skilled and passionate kiss.

Touma suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Haruki away.

Then a slap hit Haruki's face.

Haruki was about to say something.

Touma watched Haruki retreat in surprise and growled. "Why are you so skilled? How many times have you kissed Setsuna?"

Then, crying, he ran away like a little child.

Haruki was left alone.

His heart was also torn at this moment. He didn't want to lose Touma, and he didn't know how to face Setsuna.

He also shed tears in pain, full of regret for what he had done.

the next day.

Setsuna comes to Haruki's house to take care of him.

She knew very well that Haruki was just pretending to be sick, but she did not expose him and just left quietly.

After leaving, Haruki huddled in a corner, crying inconsolably.

Kumaichi Sakamoto didn't know how much time had passed.

His eyes were completely glazed over as he stared at the screen.

Yamazaki sent a message: [Why are you suddenly dating Setsuna?! ]

Yamazaki, whose progress is much slower than Kumaichi Sakamoto's, is now happily complaining, "Even though Setsuna is great, I'm not entering Setsuna's arc now, am I? Will Touma's storyline be reduced later?"

Kumaichi Sakamoto took the phone and clicked on the chat box.

The phone's Smart Keyboard pops up.

Kumaichi Sakamoto obviously wanted to complain about something, but he covered his aching stomach and chest that felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and stared at the keyboard in a daze.

Yamazaki: [What's wrong? I read it but didn't reply?]

Facing Yamazaki, a friend who decided to escape from life with him and become a otaku.

After a long while, Sakamoto Kumaichi took a deep breath and typed out a sentence, "I plan to stop doing 2D."

Yamazaki was confused and kept asking questions: [???]

Yamazaki: [You didn't play gal games and thought the real world would be as beautiful as in gal games, so you became obsessed with it and became a stuntman?]

Yamazaki: [Wake up! Real life is far from as beautiful as galgames. There are no such happy and satisfying relationships in real life!]

Watching Yamazaki's attempt to keep his otaku friend.

Kumaichi Sakamoto shook his head and looked up at the game title "White Album" on the screen.

The song "Unreachable Love" sung by Setsuna in that story came to mind.

Beautiful? Where is the beauty?
It's so beautiful that I can't breathe?

Sakamoto Kumaichi: [My defense is broken.]

Yamazaki: [Huh? You actually get ripped off even when playing galgames? Hahaha!]

After seeing the words "broken defense", Yamazaki's worries disappeared in an instant.

This guy simply saw the sweet love in the game, and then found out that he had no chance of having a sweet love, so he felt a little empty, lonely, and cold.

This is a common emotion among otakus.

Just open the next interesting work and immerse yourself in it again.

He thought so.

But Kumaichi Sakamoto did not reply to Yamazaki.

He just fell on the sofa, curled up in a ball, a 30-year-old adult, thinking about the content of the game and his own life.

I almost cried at this moment.

Yamazaki, at this moment, was being very rude and complaining about their mutual friend, [Tree].

Yamazaki: Have you played White Album?

Tree: [What's wrong?]

Sakurai Itsuki, who had just finished a day's work as a commercial, replied to the message.

Yamazaki: [Let me tell you, Xiongyi said he wants to quit the game and stop being an otaku.]

Shu: [Ah? He finally got his fiancée back?]

Yamazaki: [No, no, he's almost middle-aged, playing a gal game, and he actually broke his defenses! How hilarious!]

Yamazaki laughed at his friend harshly.

Sakurai Itsuki understood everything instantly and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Yamazaki: [I thought something big was going on at first, but it turns out they were just playing a gal game! How fragile!]

Shu: [Perhaps he's been through too much and has become overly sensitive! However, this story might be a bit heartbreaking, after all, it's the theme song sung by Yukiko.]

Yamazaki: [So what? I'm not that fragile anyway.]

Shu: [So confident?]

Yamazaki: [Who do you think I am? I've been tortured by both Nagayama Haruki and Sakurafuji Yoshi!]

Shu: [But isn't Yuichi the same? ]

Yamazaki: [It's different. I'm now a real, unbreakable, sunny boy with a heart sealed in cement!]

Probably the next morning.

Sakurai Itsuki, who was busy with CM again, got up early and turned on his phone to find that the Yukiko avatar that Yamazaki had previously displayed had been replaced with a black picture.

The signature reads: [I have retired from the entertainment industry.]
