The strategy of the other world of the love game

Today, the street scene is still the familiar one, but without those familiar people, Ryoma Ezaki actually feels a sense of emptiness in his heart.

"There are so many people gathered over there, could it be over there?"

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly pointed in a direction and spoke, interrupting Ryoma Ezaki's thoughts.

Ryoma Ezaki looked in the direction her finger pointed, and saw that the house was completely blocked by the crowd, and the sign at the door could not be seen at all.

But looking at the familiar structure, it should be a livehouse for sure.

"Let's go and take a look."

Ryoma Esaki said.

The two of them struggled through the crowd and walked towards the door of the livehouse.

At this time, there was already a long line outside the door. When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw that everyone in the line was holding a ticket, she suddenly remembered something and said.

"By the way, I haven't given you the ticket yet. Please wait for me."

As she spoke, Kasumigaoka Utaha reached into her pocket, fumbled around for a while, and then her expression suddenly froze.

Gone.

The tickets to the show she had in her pocket were gone.

If I recall my memory a little, it's not difficult to guess that it most likely fell out when I was sleeping on Ryoma Ezaki's bed.

She was too shy when she got up and didn't have time to check. After getting up, she urged Ryosuke Ezaki to go out because it was getting late and didn't even give him time to fold the quilt.

As a result, because of his impatience, he was stopped at the door because of the lost ticket.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction, Ryoma Esaki probably guessed what happened.

He looked at the time and said.

"If we rush back to get the tickets now, we'll probably be able to watch the last half hour of the show."

"...Wait a moment, I'll talk to the staff and see if I can buy two more."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said that she didn't want to give Esaki Ryoma such an incomplete experience on their first date.

Ryoma Esaki did not stop her. He watched Kasumigaoka Utaha run to the head of the line, while he stayed where he was and continued to queue.

Not long after Kasumigaoka Utaha left, suddenly, a long-lost voice came from his right.

"Mr. Ezaki? Is that Mr. Ezaki?"

Ryoma Ezaki frowned slightly.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

He turned around and saw the person calling him, and his expression suddenly froze.

Then, his eyes widened unconsciously, and his whole body was petrified on the spot, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The people who called him were two girls.

One had blonde hair tied in a ponytail, and the other had short blue hair that reached her ears and was carrying a bass bag.

If his eyes were not hallucinating and his memory was not wrong, these two people should be Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo.

Two people who were supposed to exist only in the game world created by the system.

Wait, the two of them are here, does that mean...

Ryoma Esaki turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the livehouse. Through the gaps between the crowd, he could barely make out the sign hanging on the door.

What is written on that sign is clearly STARRY!

At this moment, Ryosuke Ezaki began to doubt whether he was mentally ill.

The two people who suddenly appeared in front of Ryoma Ezaki without any warning, as well as this STARRY, made him feel like Leo in Inception, wondering if he was still stuck in the game.

But he soon realized a more likely scenario.

This is all the TM system’s fault!

At this moment, Ryoma Ezaki could only think of two possibilities. One possibility was that the so-called game world of the system was not a game world at all, but another corner of this world.

The second possibility is that the game world merged with the real world after he completed the game.

At present, Ryoma Ezaki has no way to verify which one it is. The most urgent task is to restart his broken brain to deal with the two people in front of him.

"Mr. Jiang Qi, long time no see! It's been almost two months!"

Ijichi Hongxia trotted up to Ezaki Ryoma and said excitedly.

"Where have you been all this time? You disappeared after the producer came to review it that day, and we didn't even have time to inform you of the review results."

"Listen to me, the producer you invited that day praised our performance highly, sent us a tweet to promote it, and even promised to produce an album for us!"

When talking about the band, Ijichi Hongxia became talkative.

Coupled with the reunion with Ryoma Ezaki, she seemed extremely excited.

"Thanks to you, every show we have is now sold out. Today we lined up in such a long queue early as well."

Having said that, Ichichi Hongxia suddenly realized something and said.

"Ezaki-kun, are you here to see our show too? Why didn't you contact us in advance? Why are you waiting in line to see our show?"

"Hehe... I just wanted to take a look at you guys secretly, but I don't want you to find out..."

Ryosaki Ezaki gave two dry laughs.

"Mr. Ezaki, you can't do this."

At this time, Yamada Ryo on the side suddenly spoke seriously.

"If you don't want to be discovered by us, then you should at least disguise yourself. I feel like you are looking down on me."

As she spoke, she took out a pair of glasses with a nose from somewhere, walked up to Ryoma Ezaki, stood on tiptoe and put them on him.

"Pfft! That's more like it."

Ryosuke Esaki's funny look made Ryo Yamada laugh.

Although Ijichi Hongxia tried her best to hold back her laughter, her face turned red.

"Ah la la~, I've only been away for a short time and I've already hooked up with two girls?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from not far away from the three of them.

Ryoma Esaki turned around and saw that Kasumigaoka Utaha had already returned.

Her eyes swept over Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo, and finally stopped on the funny glasses of Ezaki Ryoma.

"You are really capable, Ryoshin-kun."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was full of sarcasm and jealousy.

"Mr. Ezaki, who is this?"

Ichichi Hongxia asked.

Before Ryoma Ezaki could answer, Kasumigaoka Utaha rushed to respond.

"My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm a classmate of Ryoushin-kun."

As she spoke, she came between Ryoma Ezaki and Nichina Ijichi, separating the two, and extended her hand to Nichina Ijichi.

"Please give me more advice."

"Hello, Kasumigaoka-san."

Ijichi Kouka and Kasumigaoka Utaha shook hands, and suddenly realized something.

"Eh? Classmate? Wait, college classmate?"

"High school classmates, our Liang Zhenjun is in his second year of high school."

"Eh hey hey? Second year of high school? Doesn't that mean he's younger than me?!"

Ijichi Kouka felt that her worldview was impacted.

"So Mr. Ezaki is a high school student? I thought you must be at least twenty years old. After all, you seem much more mature than us when we get along."

"Mature? He's just aging prematurely."

Kasumigaoka Utaha muttered softly.

Ryoma Ezaki felt a bit of a headache, because in the previous game he was not a high school student, but an insider of a Japanese band.

But that was an identity given by the system, and it has now been taken back.

Yidizhi Hongxia and the others don’t know their identities in the game, but Yidizhi Xingge knows.

It is precisely because of his identity that Ijichi Xingge believes that he has the ability to help the livehouse resolve the crisis.

But there is no point worrying about these things now. Things will work out when the time comes. Let's just take it one step at a time.

"I'm sorry, Hongxia, Liang, I concealed the fact that I was still a high school student in order to get Miss Xingge to accept my help. I didn't mean to deceive you."

Ryoma Esaki demonstrated the spirit of a craftsman and apologized first when he was undecided.

"Mr. Jiang Qi, you don't have to apologize. Whether you are a high school student or a working person, your help to us is not fake. We just need to know this."

Ijichi Hongxia said sincerely.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and nudged Yamada Ryo with her elbow.

"Hey, Liang, I remember you still owe Mr. Jiang Qi a few bass guitars. Mr. Jiang Qi is our junior in the second year of high school. How can a senior owe money to a junior?"

"I understand, Jiang Qijun, I will return your money right away."

As he spoke, Yamada Ryo took out his wallet and took out a few bills with difficulty.

"I'll have to eat weed for the next two weeks, but I'll pay you back."

"Okay, okay, I'm not short of money now. Pay me back when you have more money."

Jiang Qiliang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing by, watched Ryoma Esaki communicating with the two of them so naturally and familiarly, and she felt jealous but also confused.

When did they meet?

Kasumigaoka Utaha thinks she knows Ryoma Esaki well enough. In her impression, Ryoma Esaki has never been involved in anything related to a band. How come he seems so familiar with these two girls in a band?

How many things is Ryoma Esaki hiding that I don't know about?

"By the way, Mr. Ezaki and Mr. Kasumigaoka, thank you for coming to our performance today."

Ijichi Hongxia bowed slightly to the two of them.

"If there's anything you need our help with, please feel free to ask. Mr. Ezaki has already been a member of our STARRY, right?"

"No need, actually..."

Ryo Ezaki really wanted to find an excuse to slip away. Although he missed Ijichi Hoshika and the people who had ended the band, he didn't want to meet them suddenly without any preparation.

Especially the song of Ichichi Hoshige.

"Speaking of this, we are in some trouble."

But just as Ryoma Ezaki opened his mouth, Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first.

"We accidentally lost our tickets, so now we can't get into the venue."

"What? It's just a small matter."

Ichichi Hongxia smiled and waved her hand.

"Mr. Jiang Qi, you don't need a ticket to come and see our performance. Come with me and I'll take you in."

"Then trouble you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded to Ijichi Kouka and followed her to the gate of STARRY.

Jiang Qiliang had no choice but to follow.

Along the way, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes kept moving back and forth between the three people, trying to figure out the relationship between them.

Although her goal was to take the initiative to bring Ryoma Ezaki to meet other beautiful girls, her idea was that instead of letting Ryoma Ezaki meet them privately, it would be better to let them meet under her supervision. This way, at least she would not be unknowingly overtaken by others.

But she didn't expect that this beautiful girl she met for the first time was already familiar with Ryoma Ezaki without her knowing.

Moreover, Ryoma Esaki must have known that the girls performing here were those he was familiar with, but he still agreed to come with her, which shows that he doesn't care at all about her knowing his relationship with these girls.
