Horror game, but harem plan

The water level has completely returned to normal.

The struggling figure of [Watanabe Aya] who was kicked out of the swimming pool by Yang Ming finally returned to calm.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the calm water surface, and her heart suddenly tightened. How could there be no movement for so long?

When they were fighting outside the water, she could at least see the current situation clearly, but when she was underwater, she could only know his location through the inexplicable yellow punctuation marks.

But now, everything has returned to calm. Gang was still staring at the big hole in the wall, thinking that if [Watanabe Aya] rushed in again, he would have to put more of his body in to attract its attention to help Yang Ming fight.

This is the only thing Kaguya Shinomiya can do now.

Finally, Huang Biao, who seemed strange to him, finally took action.

is it him?

Did you win?

Are you hurt?

Shinomiya Kaguya had many questions she wanted to ask him, and for a moment this impulse caused a rare look of worry to appear on her face, which was always used to keeping a calm expression.

"puff……

Yang Ming's wet head emerged from the water and he looked at the eldest lady who was staring at him in the moonlight.

He stretched out his hand from the bottom of the water and gave a thumbs up.

"puff…"

Somehow, the girl found Yang Ming a little funny now.

But I still couldn't help feeling happy.

Yang Ming jumped out of the water and came to the shore.

……

He took out [Hirumuro Ruri]'s arm and put [Watanabe Aya] into her bracelet.

Don't miss out on these high-quality fuels.

They will suffer endless pain in Miss Feishi's world for eternity. When Yang Ming jumped to the window where Huiye was, he looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the swimming room. The time had reached 11 o'clock, close to midnight.

Very good, Mayu Keikawa from that dormitory hasn't come to hunt me down yet. It seems that dormitory rules are not as strict as classroom rules.

"I won."

The young man came in front of the girl. Although he looked very embarrassed and wet all over, the skin on his arms that was burned by the Molotov cocktail had not yet healed, and there was a hideous scar on his Adam's apple, he had indeed won.

He had already defeated two of the absolutely terrifying dungeon NPCs that other players considered unbeatable.

The smile on the man's face was full of pride.

"Would you mind giving the victor a hug or a kiss?"

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya had a speechless expression.

She glanced at Yang Ming with a hint of joy, then fell silent for a moment.

"Let's talk after we go out."

……

The two walked in the campus shrouded in darkness and silence. To be honest, this was the first time that Kaguya Shinomiya walked in such a place at night.

Due to strict family rules, she was not allowed to stay out overnight since she was a child. Even after school, she was picked up by a special person. She had no experience of wandering outside at all. The few times she did, it was always because she was dragged to some strange places by Fujiwara Chika.

She looked up at the sky, where dots of stars dotted the black sky like a beautiful painting.

"Did this world exist before?"

"Well, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see those phantoms of the past."

Yang Ming nodded, and the two of them came to the cafeteria where they had eaten. This place was confirmed to be a safe area, and no ghosts would attack them. It was especially quiet here at night, empty and deserted.

"Let's rest here today. We don't have anywhere else to go."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded. To be honest, she was already prepared to sleep in the open air. The exciting experience of the whole day made her almost forget that there was any truly safe place in this campus.

"Um, Kaguya, why don't you turn around first? I'm going to roast some clothes."

"it is good."

Yang Ming built a bonfire and placed his wet clothes on the building blocks to roast. His backpack was too empty to hold anything that was not part of the dungeon. He had originally wanted to bring two more sets of clothes, but even such a small wish could not be fulfilled.

"So far, we have collected most of the remains of [Fei Shi Liu Li]."

"All that's missing is the head."

Unfortunately, his legs and thoracic spine didn't seem to have the strength to help him conquer this dungeon. Perhaps the strange power of his arms was a pleasant surprise.

Yang Ming knew that his thoughts at the moment were a bit rude, but it was indeed like collecting pieces of a puzzle. He had a hunch that after he collected all the remains of [Feishi Liuli], he would get something else.

[Aya Watanabe] has entered the bracelet on the arm bone. Now, only three of the five bullies are left.

"Mr. Yang Ming...if we kill those bullies, can we successfully pass the level?"

Shinomiya Kaguya asked in a low voice.

He also hopes so. After all, if there is a clear goal, current actions can be given meaning and people will be more motivated.

But the fact is, combined with the clues found in the swimming pool and the copy prompts [Find the truth and do what you should do.]

I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

The reason why he was able to fight against those monsters and demons was purely because [Hishi Ruri] was helping him.

"Perhaps, but no matter what the so-called truth is, or what the conditions for getting out are, we will get through it."

Listening to the unreasonable words, the girl's heart calmed down a little.

At least, I'm not the only one who has to endure this.

Originally, Yang Ming thought that Shinomiya Kaguya was not the kind of girl who needed him to provide emotional value.

Chapter 139 Gentle Kaguya Shinomiya

Her performance in this copy can be said to be very worthy of recognition. She is calm, decisive, and at the same time trusts herself, and even has the trust of others to a certain extent.

But he still caught a hint of worry in Kaguya.

Indifference is just a mask she wears when she is trapped in the circle of pictures. She is still worried about her own safety.

The young man and the girl sat back to back on a bench in the cafeteria. Yang Ming quietly warmed his clothes by the fire. The two remained silent. It was not that they intended to maintain such an awkward atmosphere, but they simply did not have much to talk about.

Yang Ming was a little tired. Today he had explored clues in four areas: classroom, corridor, dormitory, and swimming pool. He also fought three battles with those players who were trying to cause trouble for him, Chizuru Sato who was targeting him everywhere, and Aya Watanabe in the swimming pool.

Perhaps leaving yourself enough time to rest and stay in better condition is a better way to complete the dungeon. Blindly maintaining high-intensity mental pressure will only make people fall into nervous fatigue and affect efficiency.

But when he thought about continuing this kind of life tomorrow after tonight, he inexplicably felt that the future was bleak.

--Ah...I'm so tired.

I really want to go on strike. If it's true as Kaguya said, they can clear the level by defeating the five bullies.

The only things that can be confirmed now are [Mayu Keikawa] in the dormitory, the thing in the corridor, and another ghost thing that is nowhere to be found. There is also a dangerous area [Principal's Office] that Kobayashi emphasized.

It would be great if there was an easier route to clear the game. Is there a reliable veteran player who can guide me? Preferably a fair-skinned, beautiful older sister type...

Yang Ming touched his pants that had been dried and put them on, but his clothes were still a little wet.

The building was locked at night, including the windows. The two people came in by smashing the glass. There was some air leaking in, which made people feel cold.

"Are you cold, Miss Shinomiya?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Yang Ming. It's you who should dry the clothes as soon as possible."

To be honest, Shinomiya Kaguya felt uncomfortable at the thought of an almost half-naked man next to her. She was a person with a strong sense of boundaries, and would subconsciously keep a distance when walking side by side with unfamiliar people, let alone now.

But if she were to rest somewhere farther away, for example, four or five meters away from the bench where Yang Ming was, she would at least be able to be alone.

But she didn't want to either.

She is afraid.

In just one day in this school, she has seen too many unspeakable horrors, the kind of coldness that penetrates deep into her bones. As long as she is in this school, she will never have peace and will be in danger at any time.

Except for him.

Having never relied on someone so much before, and with her own safety not guaranteed, Kaguya Shinomiya would rather endure the discomfort and stay by his side.

Even though he made requests to her that would have seemed excessive in the past, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly found that she didn't seem to reject them.

"You said you found more clues in the swimming pool's locker room?"

"Well, I almost forgot. Take a look."

Yang Ming took out the paper and diary.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the contents with a frown.

Through these things, she could easily associate them with something like sacrifice or an organization related to rituals.

"If this is the truth about Ranying Academy, I'm afraid we'll have to deal with more than just bullies."

“And the adults who were behind the scenes directing things.”

Just realizing this, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but have a headache. Although she didn't see the battle between Yang Ming and Sato Chizuru, she saw how difficult the battle with Watanabe Aya was. These things, the curse buried here, are much deeper than they see.

She set her sights on Yang Ming, the man who could give her a sense of security.

At this moment, he was shirtless, staring at the bonfire with lifeless eyes, as if the flames were not projected from his eyes, but burning in his eyes.

"Mr. Yang Ming, are you angry?"

"If you think rationally, you should have exited the swimming pool immediately after obtaining this information. Perhaps there will be a way to defeat [Watanabe Aya] more easily in the future."

She saw something. After all, Yang Ming had no hidden thoughts now. He felt very tired and thought those things deserved to die. At the same time, he was confused because he could not see the exact way out.

"Yeah...that's right, I'm reflecting on it."

He admitted that he was not very rational, especially after seeing this information and seeing the death of [Ono Misaki], his impulsive anger reached its peak.

"No need to reflect on this, Mr. Yang Ming."

"Haven't we found a way out? Although it might be harder than for other players, maybe this method is more suitable for you?"

Kaguya said these words in a very awkward manner, which made Yang Ming come back to his senses slightly.

He heard some emotions in the girl's words that he had never thought could appear in her.

comfort.

Or rather, Kaguya Shinomiya was trying to comfort herself in a lame way.

"Whatever the result is, we just have to do our best based on the current situation."

The moment she realized that Yang Ming's current condition was not right, the girl expressed her attitude on the spot without any hesitation.

Although it is a bit complicated, to put it simply, what Kaguya Shinomiya meant is very simple.

I will believe you, I will support you, we are on the same side now.

"You are indeed very gentle, Miss Shinomiya."

"Wha...what! I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time. Where did you get the idea and on what basis did you use such an adjective to describe me?"

Although Kaguya Shinomiya is indifferent, she is not truly cold and heartless. Perhaps getting along with someone gradually opens up the emotions that have been sealed in her strict family.

Her face actually blushed at this moment.

"It's a simple truth, Ms. Shinomiya, because... I am the kind of person who can ignore other players because not only do they not help me in any way, but they also want to stab me in the back.

"And you are my true teammate. I can be ruthless to anyone I've only met once, but I won't sit idly by and ignore someone who truly helps me."

Yang Ming finished speaking and looked into her eyes.

“Because you are that kind of person too.

He grinned and relaxed, then he touched the dried clothes and put them on.

Chapter 140 Value and Significance

"I can't understand... I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head away from him.
