Horror game, but harem plan

"Haha~ Just treat it as me talking nonsense again."

"But Miss Shinomiya, didn't you agree to start dating me after we get out? Can you pay me something in advance?"

Like a little kiss or something."

--When did I agree!?

……

She must understand.

I just don't want to admit it.

Tsundere?

Speaking of retreat, but in fact Yang Ming's personality is not affected by this at all. After all, when facing his super straight ball, even the strongest tsundere can only be left with a coquettish look.

This person...

Shinomiya Kaguya showed an expression of shame and anger.

You're saying those inappropriate things again.

If she didn't have to rely on him to complete the game to survive, if she had the ability to complete it on her own...

I have long... long ago...

Following the teachings of the Shigong family, she always believed in the absolute use of others and could not repay their true feelings. Regarding what Yang Ming said and did, she suddenly realized that if she really had the power to complete the game alone, she would not have the heart to abandon him.

But there is no point in doing this.

The value of human beings lies in how much they can be utilized. The more valuable a person is to you, the more you can utilize him or her, and the higher his or her value will be.

"...So in your opinion, why do you like me?"

"We are just strangers who just met today. I didn't even know your name before yesterday. How can you fall in love with someone in just one day?"

Shinomiya Kaguya spoke softly.

I just want to use Yang Ming.

Because only he can help me escape from this predicament...

"Because Miss Kaguya is very beautiful and treats me very well, even risking her life for me."

"Incomprehensible."

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head.

She looked at the darkness ahead and spoke slowly.

"This is just the suspension bridge effect. People in trouble will easily become dependent on others, thus forming the illusion of similarity and liking."

"Look, she's quite clever too. Miss Shinomiya is full of charm."

"you……"

She couldn't continue. Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly realized that even if she talked to a stone, it would not be so infuriating. At least the stone could not understand what she was saying at all, and she had no way of knowing what the stone was thinking.

"Even if it really is the suspension bridge effect, so what? Humans are the kind of species that ignore reason and act on instinct."

"Ms. Shinomiya, why not ask yourself, are your rationality and indifference also due to instinct?"

Yang Ming nodded slightly and restrained his expression to become serious.

"I instinctively feel that I'm safer this way, because revealing emotions is dangerous."

"From this perspective, Miss Shinomiya's life must have been very depressing."

This sentence made Kaguya hesitate and she remained silent for a long time.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but held it back. This time she did not look up to meet his gaze, but silently stared at the despairing darkness. She suddenly understood why Yang Ming was so outspoken. His every word and every action was extremely honest, as if he was truly consistent in what he said and what he did.

The anger when facing the perpetrators, the unscrupulousness when facing the players, and the selflessness when fighting those ghosts.

When in danger, protect yourself subconsciously.

Now, I can speak my mind and tell myself what I really think.

The path Yang Ming chose, the life he chose, was not a boring option like "survive".

The will he follows is not bound by any external rules, and it is a way for him to completely release his nature and desires.

So what about yourself?

Through the portrait of Yang Ming that she had seen, Kaguya Shinomiya began to deeply examine herself for the first time.

My character portrait...

Is it [Kaguya Shinomiya], or is it someone who is bound by the Shinomiya family and is wearing Kaguya Shinomiya's skin?

"That's it."

"Is this the path you have chosen?"

Facing Kaguya Shinomiya's question, Yang Ming nodded again without hesitation.

"what……"

And this time, it was as if a bullet was shot into the heart.

Beneath that still calm appearance, the girl named Kaguya Shinomiya, Kaguya-hime of the Shinomiya family, began to have a heart beating uncontrollably.

Live according to your instincts.

What would that kind of life be like?

"Do you feel a little cold?"

Yang Ming suddenly asked a confusing question, and if Kaguya Shinomiya remembered correctly, he asked it again.

cold…?

There was a fire next to them, and at the moment she happened to be... a little hot.

"It will be warmer if you do this."

The young man next to her couldn't help but pull her hand apart.

It's warm indeed.

Kaguya Shinomiya subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but her struggle was only superficial.

She stopped trying to pull her hand back.

Avoiding Yang Ming's gaze, Shinomiya Kaguya just stared at the fire silently.

At this moment, flames were also burning in her eyes.

The night is already deep.

Yang Ming took out two sleeping bags from his backpack.

He spread them flat on the cafeteria floor tiles, then lay down in them and stretched out.

I really miss it. I didn't expect to be able to sleep in this thing.

Even in the world of 7 Days to Die, there is a lovely baby Hong Xia who warms her sleeping bag.

He looked at Kaguya, who seemed a little troubled by the simple sleeping bag.

"Don't be picky. Go to bed early. You might have a tough battle tomorrow."

After all, Kaguya Shinomiya is a pampered young lady. Although she does not have the bad habits of a pure young lady, she is indeed a little picky about her living environment.

At least he is different from Yang Ming, who can sleep soundly even in a gloomy and scary environment as long as he is really tired.

The girl sighed silently, turned into her sleeping bag, and sniffed nervously. There was no strange smell. Then the strict biological clock cultivated by the Shinomiya family began to take effect. Her eyelids immediately began to tremble, and sleepiness swept over her.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Kaguya resisted the urge to sleep and asked Yang Ming about his plans for tomorrow.

Although Yang Ming is not the kind of reckless man who acts recklessly without a plan, he is indeed impulsive like a berserker on steroids when it comes to actual execution. The calm Kaguya Shinomiya realizes that she can make up for his impulsiveness in strategy.

Chapter 141: Marry into the Shinomiya family?

"Tomorrow, when you get up, have breakfast first, then go meet Mayu Keikawa in the dormitory. That way, at least we still have a place to stay."

"Then continue exploring."

"The intelligence we have now is not enough to support us until we successfully pass the level."

"Finally, good night, Miss Shinomiya."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded secretly.

Yang Ming could not hide the fact that the girl was trying to force herself to sound tired. Although she had not really participated in today's battle, she was mentally exhausted. She was also attacked by Sato Chizuru's resentment. If she had not successfully joined the [Battlefield Instant Regeneration Protocol] afterwards, her body would have collapsed long ago.

This is an extraordinary level of protection. For an ordinary person like Kaguya, her physical fitness has been greatly improved. However, she has not entered a very player-friendly copy like [7 Days to Die], and has not obtained the upgradeable panel and attributes.

In fact, it was also because Ijichi Hongxia and Goto Ichiri had little room to perform, and Yang Ming's own original attributes were already high enough, so the changes brought about by this blessing to the body were not strongly felt.

"call……"

"call…"

There was a bonfire between the two people, and steady breathing could be heard.

……

The next day, Yang Ming opened his eyes at dawn. He immediately sat up and looked around. Although the cafeteria was a safe area in his memory, the strength of this copy was already beyond his expectations, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The aunt at the food window hasn't appeared yet, it seems there is no breakfast available here.

"Ms. Shinomiya."

He called out to the girl softly.

"Four Palaces?"

"Shinomiya Kaguya?"

"Kaguya-chan?"

"Kaguya~~"

After trying some strange and bizarre names, the girl showed no signs of waking up. She just turned over silently and showed Yang Ming her slender back.

Come to think of it, Kaguya's thinking does degenerate when she stays up late, and she becomes quite adorable.

At this moment, she was curled up in a sleeping bag, with a tuft of hair sticking out from her long, scattered hair.

"If you don't get up, I'm going to do something bad?"

"Sleep for five more minutes..."

When Yang Ming gently pushed her shoulder for the third time, the elegant Kaguya suddenly made a nasal sound like a kitten's breath, and unconsciously slapped his hand away like a ragdoll cat whose ball of yarn was taken away.

She did go to bed very late last night and was really tired.

Her physical strength had not yet reached a truly transcendent level, and Kaguya Shinomiya could not help but feel tired from the lack of rest.

Yang Ming took out his coffee and waited quietly. In a place like this, he really couldn't rest for too long.

"Five minutes are up, Miss Shinomiya~"

"Hmm...

"Hayasaka..."

Hayasaka?

Hayasaka Ai, right?

Speaking of this blonde maid, Yang Ming also had an impression of her. She was often troubled by her master's difficult orders.

"I'm not your little maid, miss."

Finally, at this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya gradually came back to her senses and began to think and respond to the words from the outside world.

The voice on the side was obviously a man's voice.

here it is……?

His bright red, gem-like eyes looked around blankly. It was the school cafeteria that looked a bit old. His brain started to work and those memories came back.
