I loaded the dream game

"..."

Yuiya Miku lowered her head and fell silent.

Why hide it?

Because she didn't want Xia Zhi to know.

During this period of time, she saw all the care and help the boy had given her.

When did your thoughts change?

Indeed, the boy made it clear from the beginning that he was approaching him deliberately with a purpose and was deceiving himself.

But, this is also a kind of reality, right?

He approached me with his truest side... and said he wanted to save me

So, I was probably moved by the truth and agreed to it at that time.

If that were the case, I had actually fallen into this guy's trap from the very beginning.

Yui Miku thought.

And, is that really deceiving yourself?

Yuiya Miku is not a radical mental patient, she just refuses to get close to others and refuses to trust others anymore.

But her rationality still exists and she knows how to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Is he really deceiving himself?

Although they were lies, every one of them was fulfilled.

He said he would heal his voice, and he did.

He said that he would make himself liked by everyone again just by his singing, and now it has come true.

He said he would save himself...

Yui Miku pursed her lips.

cheat?

Just think of it as a deception.

What does he want from himself?

Spirit crystal?

The greatest significance of that thing to her was that it gave her new hope.

And she has recovered her voice, and has... In short, that kind of thing is no longer of much use to her.

So, apart from the spirit crystal, what else do I have?

Yui Miku gently clenched the clothes on her chest.

Once the "deal" is reached and the spirit crystal is obtained, he will leave, right?

Somehow, after realizing this, even though her voice had been restored, her first reaction was not joy, but panic and fear.

...I don't want him to leave me.

So the girl subconsciously chose to conceal this fact.

But now it has been easily exposed, it is worthy of the summer solstice.

Thinking this way, Yuiya Miku completely ignored the fact that she was "exposed" accidentally.

She raised her head, looked at Xia Zhi stubbornly and said:

"Like you said yourself, you lied to me and I lied to you, isn't that fair?"

Xia Zhi thought about it and found no problem.

So, is this revenge on me? He complained in his heart.

"I didn't hide the fact that I lied to you."

"Now I'm not hiding anything."

As Yui Miku said this, she jumped down from her seat, came in front of him, and looked up at him.

……do what?

Xia Zhi looked confused.

"It was you who carried me upstairs last night, right?" the girl asked.

"Yeah." Xia Zhi nodded and admitted that he had come down.

"Without my consent."

"If I wake you up, you'll get angry, right?"

I'm not that grumpy when I wake up.

You obviously just don't want to disturb my sleep, why are you putting the blame on her?

Yui Miku wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and stretched out her hands towards Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi hesitated when he saw this, not quite sure, but under the girl's unhappy urging, he still tried to reach out and hold her in his arms.

Yui Miku rested her head on his shoulder with satisfaction and gently closed her eyes.

“Summer Solstice…

She leaned close to the boy's ear and whispered

"You're going to save me, aren't you?"

"……Um."

Xia Zhi nodded gently and repeated affirmatively

"I will save you."

"Is this a lie?"

"It's the truth."

There is no basis for this, it's just a promise from the young man.

but……

"Well, I believe you."

This time, the girl was willing to believe it.

It doesn't matter what the facts are, or how he does it.

It's just inner conviction.

...But, if I'm saved, I'll have to leave this time and space, right?

The girl thought to herself.

She was very clear about her situation and knew the purpose of Xia Zhi coming to this time and space.

Yes, there is nothing we can do about it.

In this case

"One last request..."

Yui Miku, no longer pretending, raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said softly:

"You have to stay with me until the last day."

.......

Chapter 1013: The Elf Girl No Longer Disguises

Strictly speaking, in addition to "opening one's heart to oneself", there is another hidden condition for the collection of spirit crystals in the dream game... that is, the elves need to voluntarily "actively donate the spirit crystals".

In other words, even if the favorability level has reached, as long as Yui Miku herself is unwilling, the progress bar of the task can still be stuck until the last day.

"Is that so? Darling~?"

The purple-silver-haired girl put her arm around Xia Zhi's neck and asked mischievously in his ear.

Xia Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth and gently turned the metal key tied to his wrist. With a light "click" sound, the girl with long black hair turned back to her original appearance.

"Ah! Why did you change back?"

Yui Miku showed a dissatisfied expression

"Wasn't that just cute?"

Xia Zhi pretended not to hear.

After untying her heart knot and no longer disguising herself, the elf girl seemed to have completely let go, and finally revealed her true nature... Like a nymphomaniac, she would look for opportunities to get close to herself from time to time.

According to her, Lolita's appearance perfectly hits all her aesthetics.

Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why she developed a liking for me later?

Xia Zhi didn't know yet, but it turns out that Yui Miku is also... ahem, a lolita complex.

"Where are we going shopping today?"

He looked away, thought for a moment, and then suggested:

"How about I take you to meet my two roommates?"

"No way." Yui Miku refused decisively.

It was just a good date, she didn't want to let other irrelevant people get involved.

However, speaking of Xia Zhi’s two roommates…

"When are you going to move out from there?" She puffed up her cheeks slightly.

I clearly told you that you can come live with her.

She has extra rooms here, the place is spacious, and there is also such a gorgeous girl like her here. Isn't that great?

Xia Zhi said that Takashima Yuna and Yokote Marie are also very pretty, and...

"They took good care of me."

"I can take care of you too!" Yui Miku said dissatisfiedly.

Can you?

Xia Zhi looked at her suspiciously.

Ah, this...

Yuiyomi hesitated and tilted her head slightly:

"Can I give it a try?"

Then forget it.

Xia Zhi felt that it was good enough that she could take care of herself... After all, the girl was not Mio, so there was no way she could learn so many things in these last few days, right?

As for whether Yui Miku has this talent... Didn't she say it herself before? She is a person who is good at nothing except singing.

"Are you saying bad things about me?" Yui Miku looked puzzled.

"No." Xia Zhi turned his eyes away.

It's obviously a lie.

Yui Miku wrinkled her nose, then couldn't help but chuckle.

However, even though he would lie, he would not try to hide it, just like he confessed his "deception" at the beginning.

This reality made her like him even more.

"What laughing?"

Looking at the elf girl who couldn't help but smile, Xia Zhi asked puzzledly.

Yuiyomiku smiled and shook her head slightly: "Uh-huh~, no."
