The strategy of the other world of the love game

Well, it seems that the effect of encouragement is quite obvious, and there has been an immediate improvement.

"Because I'm following you."

However, Ryoma Esaki smiled bluntly.

"..."

Hoshino Ruby took a few steps back, looking alert, and said.

"Why are you following me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just have a few questions I want to ask you privately."

Ryoma Ezaki didn't care about Ruby Hoshino's vigilance at all. He just stood there and didn't come any closer.

In order to make it possible for Ruby Hoshino to hear him clearly, he raised his voice.

When Ruby Hoshino heard that Ryo Ezaki really had questions to ask her and insisted on asking them in private, she was shocked.

Could it be that he really began to doubt his mother's identity?

Chapter 14: Will a woman who has been single for thirty years become a magical girl? (Second update)

"Hoshino-san, can I start asking questions?"

Ryoma Ezaki didn't give Ruby Hoshino much time to think and urged her.

When Ruby Hoshino heard the obviously louder voice of Ryoma Ezaki, she had no choice but to move closer to Ryoma Ezaki reluctantly.

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"It's not a big deal, Hoshino-san, you don't have to be so nervous."

Ryoma Ezaki smiled and pointed to the square on the side of the road.

"Let's go over there and talk. Don't block other people's way."

The two walked side by side towards the square.

As they walked, Ryoma Ezaki asked casually.

"Hoshino-san, do you usually have many opportunities to interact with boys of your own age?"

"I'm a high school student, of course I have a lot."

"It's not a classmate relationship, just... a little closer."

"Something more intimate?"

Hoshino Ruby stopped and looked at Ezaki Ryoma with her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Why do you ask about this?"

Seeing that Ruby Hoshino looked alert, Ryoma Esaki explained.

"I just noticed that you hardly took the initiative to talk to the other two male guests during the dinner today. It seems that you are not very good at dealing with boys of your age."

"Uh...well, I'm really not very good at it."

Hoshino Ruby didn't expect that the other party could see through her weakness after only meeting her for the second time.

In her previous life, she was bedridden and died early when she was just beginning to fall in love. After her mother passed away in this life, she grew up under the meticulous care of Saito Kyoko.

After what happened to Hoshino Ai, how could Saito Kyoko allow Hoshino Ruby to contact the opposite sex at will?

So, in her past and present lives, which total nearly thirty years, Ruby Hoshino has never had a close friend of the opposite sex.

If she were a boy, she would have become a magician by now.

But according to this calculation, I should be a magical girl?

Hoshino Ruby's thoughts unconsciously began to go astray.

"Does your family have strict control over this?"

"Well...that's right."

"What about your relatives? Do you have brothers or something like that?"

"No, I am an only child and I have no relatives."

Having said that, Ruby Hoshino's eyes dimmed.

Hoshino Ai came from an orphanage, so she has no relatives, but her, or to be more precise, her previous life's Sarina Tendoji, her family members are still alive.

It’s just that those family members were extremely indifferent to her in her previous life, and now that she had changed her identity in this life, there was no possibility of them recognizing each other.

Now in her heart, the only family member is Saito Kyoko.

"So...what about the person you like?"

When asking this question, Ryouma Esaki's smile had a hint of ambiguity.

"No! Why do you need to go into details?"

As Hoshino Ruby spoke, she covered her mouth with one hand and suddenly showed a mischievous expression.

"Ah~, Ezaki-san, you fell in love with me at first sight, didn't you?"

Faced with Ruby Hoshino's teasing, Ryoma Esaki did not deny it. He just maintained an ambiguous smile and stared at her with his eyes wide open.

Hoshino Ruby started to panic.

Her body stiffened unconsciously and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

——Isn’t it possible that I was right?!

She began to regret why she had said that.

What if Ryoma Esaki took the opportunity to confess his love? At this critical juncture when the program is about to begin recording, whether he confirms his relationship or rejects the other party's confession, wouldn't it make future programs very awkward?

But that's for later, the most important thing now is...

Hoshino Ruby glanced at Ryoma Ezaki who was inexplicably silent.

——If you really like me, just say something! Don’t let the girl you like be embarrassed here, okay!

However, Ruby Hoshino didn't know that what Ryoma Ezaki was thinking about at this moment was not love.

——I don’t have a brother, and I don’t have anyone I like…

——Does this mean that Aqua does not exist in this world at all?

Jiang Qiliang really thought about it.

In the original work, in her previous life, Ruby Hoshino fell in love with her attending physician Goro Amemiya, who was also the previous life of Aqua Hoshino.

So even if Goro Amamiya had not been killed and had not been reincarnated as Aqua, Ruby Hoshino should have already found someone she loved.

In the original work, she never concealed her feelings for the doctor, and even took the initiative to bring it up.

So when Ryosaki Ezaki asked her so directly if she had someone she liked, she shouldn't have denied it outright.

This reaction of Ruby Hoshino only proves that Goro Amamiya has never existed in this game world from the beginning, and he will never be reincarnated as Aqua.

Perhaps the system had erased Aqua's existence and past life in this game world in order to make it easier for him to capture Ruby Hoshino.

Oh, is this the mercy of the system?

Ryoma Ezaki was not surprised. After all, in the first game, the system also arranged a crisis for Ijichi Seika that was not in the original work, giving him a chance to be a hero and save the beauty.

In comparison, the system's help this time is even weaker.

Maybe this is the system's silent protest against the way Ryoma Ezaki completed his first game.

After sorting out the current situation, Ryoma Esaki finally shifted his attention back to Ruby Hoshino who was left aside.

Looking at Hoshino Ruby who was stiff all over because of the awkward atmosphere, Ryoma Esaki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hoshino-san, why are you so nervous?"

"It was you who suddenly asked those inexplicable questions, which made me ask such a stupid question, and then you suddenly stopped talking."

Hoshino Ruby wrinkled her nose and said.

Her personality comes in handy at this time, and she can speak frankly about the reasons.

"right."

Ryoma Ezaki suddenly uttered two words without any context.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Hoshino Ruby looked puzzled.

"My answer to the question you asked, Mr. Hoshino, is yes."

Jiang Qiliang's expression suddenly became serious.

"It may not be love at first sight, but among the three girls right now, you are the one I'm most interested in."

"Eh?"

Ruby Hoshino was caught off guard by Ryoma Esaki's straightforward confession.

She held her face in her hands, her cheeks flushed slightly.

How despicable! I was on guard for a long time and didn't make any moves, but now I let my guard down and he suddenly confessed!

Are all you men in the entertainment industry capable of this?

"Don't be nervous, Hoshino-san. I'm not trying to get an answer from you."

Ryoma Esaki then explained.

"Look, isn't the purpose of the show we're recording this time to allow the six of us to freely communicate and pair up, so as to develop a romantic relationship?"

"So my original plan was to wait until the show started recording before trying to contact you."

"It's just that tonight I noticed that you're not very good at interacting with the opposite sex. I'm worried that it would be awkward for you to interact with you on the show, so I thought of asking for your opinion before the show officially starts recording."

Chapter 15 Let's make a deal, Mr. Hoshino (Part )

"So that's it..."

The reasons given by Ryoma Esaki were logical and flawless, and Ruby Hoshino finally felt relieved.

She was even slightly touched by Ryosuke Ezaki's thoughtfulness.

If Ryo Ezaki really came to her suddenly after the recording of the show had started, she might really be at a loss.

After all, her current goal is to finish recording this program safely and avoid being forced by the program crew to form a couple with other male members and blocking her own path to becoming an idol.

"But I'm sorry, if possible, please try to get in touch with other girls during the show."

After careful consideration, Ruby Hoshino still rejected Ryoma Ezaki.

There's no way around it. The halo around Ryoma Ezaki is too dazzling. It's hard not to be the focus when you're with him.

And she just wants to be a nobody in this show.

"Isn't Miss Chiyin, who is with you, a very good girl? Take advantage of this legitimate opportunity to get in touch with her more. Maybe you can become lovers!"

Hoshino Ruby smiled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere after rejecting someone.

"Hey, Ms. Hoshino, do you know that when you reject someone, pushing them towards someone else is the most hurtful thing?"

Ryoma Ezaki sighed softly and said with a bit of a smile.

"Uh...this..."

Hoshino Ruby looked away guiltily and scratched her face.

She has never had much contact with the opposite sex, let alone experience in rejecting confessions.

——But seeing what he said, he seems to be very experienced in this area?

Ruby Hoshino couldn't help but think secretly in her heart.

——But if you think about it carefully, given his conditions, it’s normal for him to be popular with girls.

He also considers how to reject the confession so as not to hurt others, which further reflects the delicate and gentle heart of Ryoma Esaki.

It’s a pity that Ruby Hoshino’s stupid head couldn’t think of this.
