I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi came to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the community building not far away.

"Because the teachers forbid students from going to the rooftop, and the keys here are kept by them all year round, only a few clubs like the Astronomy Department that need the venue for activities have spare keys. Basically, no one comes up, so it is relatively quiet."

"..."

So, how do you usually get up here?

As for the answer to this question, the girl probably already knew it from the scene where he casually took out two cards and skillfully opened the door to the rooftop.

But, the Astronomy Department...

She looked up at the sky above her head. The wide view on the rooftop allowed her to see the entire starry sky. The stars were shining in the night sky, forming a brilliant and gorgeous Milky Way.

"So... is this the feeling..." Her eyes flickered slightly as she sighed softly.

"how do you feel?"

Xia Zhi came to her side and asked.

Hearing this, the girl took a deep breath and turned back to look at him.

"...Watching the stars on the rooftop with girls, is this your usual campus life during Xiazhi?"

That’s not the case. I seldom go out at night.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and after thinking about it, he replied

“It’s the first time for me to watch the stars with others at school.”

"So, do I take Xia Zhi's first time?" She tilted her head.

"If you insist on thinking so, just follow your wishes." Xia Zhi curled his lips.

The girl seemed very happy with his answer, and she withdrew her gaze and looked back at the distant sky.

The moon that was originally hanging in the night sky has disappeared. It is obvious that it is already the second half of the night and dawn is not far away.

If it fails to make girls' hearts flutter, the game will be declared a failure.

Despite this, Xia Zhi was still not in a hurry, and quietly stayed by her side to watch the starry sky with her.

After a long time, the girl retracted her gaze and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

She thanked him softly.

“…Like the summer solstice, this is also a very new experience for me.”

“No matter how much you know… simply knowing and experiencing it personally are different after all.”

Xia Zhi replied.

People can learn about the shape of the wind, the flow of water, the temperature of being held in someone's arms, and other people's records and understandings of the world from books, videos, and various information carriers, but records are only records after all. If you don't experience them yourself, you will never understand what those feelings are.

Just like no matter how many times you read the description of delicious food, you will never be able to taste its real flavor; no matter how many romance novels you read, you will never be able to experience what it feels like to be loved.

"I can take you to experience firsthand, and learn more about this "world."

Xia Zhi turned around and looked into her eyes and said

"If you wish, Miss Shou."

.......

Chapter 1302 "Give Me a Name"

"..."

Facing Xia Zhi's words, the girl fell silent.

After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and asked him:

"When did you find out?"

Her words were tantamount to acknowledging her identity.

"From the beginning." Xia Zhi replied.

Rather, the girl's acting was not at all like the real thing.

It's not just the appearance that is the same, even if the disguise is successful. Habits, personality, eyes, even just the feeling given by people when they are together, different people will be different after all.

Miss Ormori, who is knowledgeable but ignorant about the world, understands this clearly but seems unable to understand and implement this point well.

"… As expected, there is no way I can fool you."

The girl finally sighed slightly and said.

It seemed like she had given up on the idea of ​​continuing to pretend, but she didn't return to her original appearance.

"So, you had already planned to disguise yourself as origami?" Xia Zhi asked.

She had not been around since she left the room. When she reappeared, she appeared in front of him in the form of a familiar girl. It was unlikely that she had come up with this idea on the spur of the moment to participate in the game.

But, did she go through so much trouble and bring up this game just to spend some time alone with me?

Obviously, this kind of thing should have been said directly at the beginning.

“…I’m sorry.”

She turned her head away and said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Hearing the unexpected answer, Xia Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking at the silver-haired girl with blushing cheeks in front of him, he began to appreciate the benefits of cosplay and... ahem, similar things.

He had never seen Origami look so shy and cute before.

…refers to the origami of this space and time.

"Juya made a mistake... She and I are actually the same."

After taking a deep breath, the girl seemed embarrassed to continue the topic and changed the subject.

"I didn't intentionally hack into your mobile phone system. It was just that after the Whispering Announcement was out of the control of the main body, it automatically found the terminal device that was most suitable for itself to host."

If we talk about the terminal device with the strongest computing power and the highest compatibility in this world, we can only think of Xia Zhi's mobile phone. In other words, it is almost inevitable that the girl will come to him.

"But I wasn't myself at that time."

Facing Xia Zhi's puzzled look, the girl continued

"My existence... to be more precise, the time when I was born as the specific personality of "Whispering Volume" was actually not too far away from 'her'."

Wait, that means...

Xia Zhi understood the meaning behind the girl's words.

Like Maria, she also developed her own independent personality under the influence of the "heart" that Hubie backed up on her side.

While being given their hearts and personalities, they also inherited the "color" that they had originally dyed Hubie with.

No wonder she said that she was the same as Ju Ya. It was just that compared to Ju Ya, she lacked the guarding instructions engraved at the bottom of the program.

In other words, she probably had no hostility towards Xia Zhi from the beginning.

So, the previous question has an answer.

"Why go to all that trouble?"

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Didn't I already answer that?"

The girl glanced at him with a hint of annoyance, as if she was unhappy that he made her say that again.

She said she was shy.

Even so, she turned her head slightly and whispered

"Because...I can only say those words to you by using someone else's appearance."

She's quite a tsundere.

Xia Zhi came to a conclusion in his heart.

Although the girl didn't say it, now that this matter has been confirmed, the purpose of her doing so can actually be guessed.

She made up the rules of the game, and then she transformed herself into another girl to participate in the game, and accompanied him on a date alone late at night.

Is it because she is inexperienced and shy that she wants to treat herself this way, or make herself confess to her?

This is really... cute.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think

just

"If you're confessing, you should say it in your original form...right?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.

Otherwise, wouldn't it feel like I was confessing to someone else? Whether it was to Origami or to the girl herself, an important confession shouldn't be made in such a perfunctory way, right?

"I……"

The girl was silent for a moment

It seems like he is hesitating.

Could it be that she is still shy?

Xia Zhi was thinking, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of light from the corner of his eye.

He turned his head and saw a white light on the city skyline in the distance. The sky without stars was gradually illuminated.

It's almost dawn.

On the other side, the girl was still hesitating and didn't seem to have made up her mind.

It's been a little delayed...

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

The stipulated time was before daybreak, and it was obvious that the time was almost up.

Now he probably knows where the girl got the confidence to make such a rule as if she was sure to win.

If I could become a contestant myself, I could control the final progress of the game.

Unfortunately……

"it's me……"

Just as Xia Zhi was about to say something, he felt a gust of air mixed with a faint fragrance, followed by a warm touch on his lips.

The girl had regained her original black-gray hair and was wearing a nun's uniform with black as the main color and an inverted cross pattern on the front. She looked very similar to Ju Ya. A cute black-gray-haired girl appeared in front of him.

"So... I won," she said, panting slightly, her cheeks slightly red, and turning her head away.

As a referee and rule maker, isn't it a bit too much for me to participate in the competition myself?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

However, regarding this matter

“… Not necessarily.”

As soon as the words fell, the girl was surprised to find that everything around her had fallen into stillness, even the sun in the distance. The whole world seemed to have lost its color and turned into a monotonous color.

Being familiar with everything about Xia Zhi, she immediately realized what was going on.

You cheated?

She stared at the boy with wide eyes.

however

"Woo..."

Before she could finish her accusation, the words were blocked at her lips and she fell limply into the young man's arms.

The rules require a girl to confess and kiss when she is moved.

Now that I've gotten the kiss, it's hard not to be moved by her expression

There is still one final confession missing.
