My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"...?"

"I've wanted to say this a long time ago. You've been locked up here by your parents like a canary, without healthy interpersonal relationships or a source of positive emotions. Even if you're not sick, you've probably become sick."

While Ms. Yukino was speechless, Toru Narumi, who was talking to himself, sat up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and took the serialized magazine off the bed.

"You're going to school tomorrow, right? I'll just bypass your sister and pick you up from school."

"Wait...are you really planning to..."

"I promised you before, didn't I? I will show up in time when you need me. The distress signal has been sent out, so there is no reason for this off-site assistance not to accept the order."

The young man scratched his curly hair and responded in a casual tone while planning his escape plan.

"Besides, the ex-boyfriend of the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family is suspected of abducting the bedridden second daughter... It's suitable for making headlines, right?"

The man in front of me is definitely mentally ill.

Yukinoshita Yukino dared to make such an assertion.

But this person was the only one who would ignore all the pressure from the outside world and agree to her casual wish without hesitation.

So, she no longer hesitated, gritted her teeth and made the craziest decision so far -

He placed his hand in the palm of the curly-haired young man.

"...Then let's see how far you can take me."

The absurd and impulsive elopement began.

Chapter 12: The Rewritten Script of Love

The next day, Yukinoshita Yukino regretted eloping with Toru Narumi.

If we look into the reason.

"Oh? Asking Yukinoshita for a long vacation...?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her eyebrows and looked at the curly-haired young man who led the black-haired girl to the office with a little doubt.

"what did the doctor say?"

"Doctor."

"…I mean, I know about Yukinoshita's situation, but why didn't the guardian tell you, but instead told you through Narumi?"

"Oh~Yang Nai was so tired from staying up late playing with her phone last night that she fell asleep at dawn, so I came to take her sister away on her behalf."

The curly-haired young man smiled with the typical attitude of a sunny and cheerful big boy, looking completely non-aggressive.

"That guy is really something... Why is he playing with his phone so late at night?"

“iPhone 13 Pro Max.”

"…You should go to the hospital too. Either go to the psychiatric department or be sent to the intensive care unit by me."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing nearby, held her forehead with her hand. At this moment, she could completely empathize with Hiratsuka-sensei, whose forehead veins were bulging but who was still trying hard to keep smiling.

"Okay, you can take the person with you. I'll check with Yang No later."

Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand impatiently. In this simulation, she was also Toru Narumi's former homeroom teacher, so she was not particularly wary of him.

"Or did you negotiate with the people from the Yukinoshita family yourself? You and Haruno are obviously exes, but you can still get along so closely... You have some skills."

"After all, we are not children who get angry and ignore others when we have a conflict, teacher."

Ming Hai smiled and stood up, bowing slightly to Hiratsuka to show his gratitude, then turned to meet the gaze of the silent Yukino.

"Then we won't bother you any more."

He used his eyes to convey the meaning of "It's time", and Yukino understood and nodded to Hiratsuka, thanked him, and walked out of the office with Narumi.

"That must be the first time a good student has lied."

Ming Hai walked leisurely through the corridor crowded with students, lowering his head and glancing at the profile of the girl who was walking in the same pace as him.

"You are the one who told the lie. It didn't come from my mouth, so it naturally doesn't count as a lie from me."

Yukinoshita Yukino is now able to excuse herself in this way without batting an eyelid. Perhaps she has learned some tact from someone.

"Why do you feel like I've led you astray?"

Knowing that he was the culprit, Toru Narumi scratched his face a little embarrassedly, but it was just an appearance.

"—Yes, that's probably the most obvious explanation."

An unexpected clear male voice, accompanied by the sound of firm footsteps, suddenly broke into the ears of the two.

Ming Hai raised his eyes and took a closer look. Standing in front of them was a boy with short golden hair wearing the Sobu High School student uniform.

"Narumi-senpai...where are you taking Yukinoshita-san?"

Toru Narumi knew the man in front of him—Hayama Hayato, a prominent figure in Sobu High School, who had a complicated relationship with both sisters of the Yukinoshita family.

In this simulation, Yeshan's feelings towards Toru Narumi are somewhat complicated, because he used to be the boyfriend of Haruno-senpai, whom Hayato cares about very much, and now he often makes his presence known around Yukino.

"As far as I know... Yukinoshita-san just needs a regular checkup, right? You didn't seem to tell Haruno-senpai that you took such a long leave... Where are you planning to take her?"

Oops, did this kid just hear all of that outside the office?

"Ye Shanjun, if you want to visit a patient, I appreciate your kindness."

Although Yukino's face was pale and she had lost some of her former aura, she still responded to Ye Shan's words in a cold tone without any special emotion.

"But where we are going is obviously not something you have the right to ask."

"Yukinoshita-san...I'm sorry, it may seem stupid to say this given my status, but I just don't want you to...be hurt or deceived."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Hayato Hayama were good friends in elementary school, but in high school their relationship became so awkward that even talking to each other and saying hello became awkward.

Yang No had told him the reason - Ming Hai raised his eyebrows and extracted this part of the memory from his memories.

It is precisely because he knows this inside story that the curly-haired young man looked at Hayama Hayato, whose expression was uncertain, with a smile on his face and held the hand of the girl beside him.

"Ye Shanjun, you are a good person."

Then, under Yukino's slightly stunned gaze, Toru Narumi spoke to Hayama, whose expression was frozen.

"But sometimes being a good person doesn't mean you can be perfect, and even treating others in the way you want to make sure no one gets hurt will only make the situation worse. You know that, right?"

"........."

Ye Shan, whose pain point was perfectly hit, looked away, and his brows revealed a bit of pain and annoyance at having his thoughts exposed.

"But I'm different. As you can see, I'm a person without any baggage. It doesn't matter if you say I'm unreliable, abnormal, or have no moral bottom line. If you want to think of me as a bad guy who kidnapped the naive second young lady, that's up to you."

Feeling Yukino's slightly cold but soft palm gradually being soaked in his own temperature and becoming warmer, Minghai turned his head to look at the girl who had been standing beside him.

"——After all, some things have to be done by bad people."

Yukinoshita Yukino did not respond out loud, but she could clearly see her own expression reflected in the young man's pupils.

Just trust the person in front of you without hesitation.

He is clearly just a guy who appears in the simulation, talks nonsense, loves to act like a jerk and is unpredictable, but he is the only one he can rely on now.

"…If that's your choice, then I understand."

Ye Shan glanced at Yukino with a complicated expression, and just smiled bitterly and shook his head. Perhaps he had never thought from the beginning that he could really persuade these two people.

"But running away won't solve the problem, Yukinoshita-san... Sooner or later you will be stopped by someone who is more difficult to negotiate with than me. I hope that since you have made this decision, please be mentally prepared for this."

Ye Shan took a deep breath and took a step forward, whispering softly in a suggestive tone as he passed by Ming Hai Toru.

"Until then, please take responsibility, Senior."

Then he disappeared around the corner of the corridor, leaving only Yukino with a complicated expression and Ming Hai with a look of disapproval standing there.

"It's strange to hear that kid say 'take responsibility'... I'd rather hear it from you, Yukino-kun."

"In the next life."

"Yeah, yeah~"

The two walked out of the teaching building side by side and came to the school gate. Next to the second-hand car parked on the roadside, there were two anxious figures who had been waiting for a long time.

Those were the other two members of the Servant Club, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui.

Chapter 13 The Day the Comet Came

Of course, Toru Ming Hai did not expand the two-person escape plan to a four-person version. These two were actually helpers he contacted.

"These are all my clothes. I'm giving them to Yukinoshita-san first! It doesn't matter when you return them!"

Yuigahama Yui blushed as she handed the suitcase handle to Ming Hai, and the pale-faced Yukinoshita Yukino forced a smile of gratitude at her.

"Thank you... Yuigahama-san. If only we had known each other earlier... No, it's nothing."

If they could spend more time together, she might try to get along well with this girl who came to her rescue in times of need.

Unfortunately, time is running out.

"Although I think this is not a long-term solution for you. Eloping is a bit childish for high school students... but it may be just right for college students."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who came to see them off, sighed, and his dead fish eyes looked at Narumi and Yukino with the emotion of "May you guys take care of yourself".

"Of course, if anyone asks about our club, I will help you to laugh it off and delay the time."

"No problem, I fully trust Hikikomori's ability to make up stories!"

"Don't trust me so much in such a strange place and quickly change that easy-to-use title."

Hikigaya glared at Narumi and retorted mercilessly.

"And... have you decided on a destination?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was still merciful and did not say "You will be caught sooner or later" to his face.

"Of course, thank you both for your help."

Ming Hai smiled and nodded at him, then helped the listless Yukino into the passenger seat and expressed his gratitude to the two helpers.

"We may not see each other for quite some time. Please take care of yourself."

"………Take care of yourself."

Although Yuigahama and Hikigaya were a little confused about Minghai's attitude, they still responded politely.

If there was any reason, it was probably because the curly-haired young man seemed to be saying goodbye to them.

"If the story bar could be displayed now, we would have reached the climax of this simulation."

Ming Hai was driving a well-maintained second-hand car through the streets while thinking this, while absentmindedly turning up the volume of some radio stations.

Yukinoshita Yukino's physical condition is very bad. If left untreated, her condition will probably gradually worsen. In the end, whether she dies of the disease or goes abroad for treatment, it will become an event in which Toru Narumi will not be able to participate.

As a result, the score after the simulation will not reach the ideal result.

Out of his obsessive-compulsive desire to complete the game copy with high scores, and perhaps also accompanied by some heroic savior complex, Toru Ming Hai planned this escape plan - to be more precise, a plan to elope.

Taking Yukinoshita Yukino away from the control of the hospital and the constraints of the family, although it is impossible to improve Yukino's condition, it may help change her pessimistic and negative mentality.

And if this can rewrite the original direction of the story, the following simulation will only be more interesting.

[Yes, under your very unreasonable and illogical interference, Yukinoshita Yukino's fate has been changed. ]

Sure enough, the system's voice responded in my mind.

[But this is only a temporary solution. Her ending will only change from dying in a hospital bed to dying of illness beside you, or being found by her relatives and sent abroad for treatment in time. That's all.]

Has there been no fundamental change?

No, if we can get to the "root" of simulation...

"Miyazaki, it's quite far from here."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yukinoshita Yukino took a look at the navigation. Even though she was exhausted, she perked up and looked like she wanted to be Minghai's guide.

"I'll take care of the navigation for you, don't worry."

"Come on, are you the type who can't rest in peace without doing something?"
