My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"Anyway, come with me to buy a new bass tomorrow."

Yamada waved his hand and made a unilateral agreement with his bass.

"Don't break your promise, or I'll tell my boss about you slacking off at work."

"ha………"

Watching the bass weirdo raising his hand to say goodbye and then walking away, Ming Hai held her still slightly swollen butt and managed to stand up - she must have used all her strength just now and it was really painful.

"Could it be that the so-called influence of the system on reality...has already begun to take effect on Yamada?"

Not sure, take another look.

After escaping from the simulation, Ming Hai continued his life routine in reality.

After finishing his part-time job, he took the last tram back to the neighborhood where his rental house was located and spent a peaceful night.

The traffic from Guitar Hero's videos continued to increase the popularity of his novel post, but he had no time to focus on writing for the time being. He simply glanced through the comments section and then stopped asking about it.

The next day was a rare day off. Before going to the music store to meet Yamada, Ming Hai walked down the street and inadvertently looked into the bookstore he passed by.

Then, his eyes met with a woman with medium-length black hair who was sitting by the window reading quietly.

"........."

The two of them stopped what they were doing as if the pause button was pressed and looked at each other in silence.

Then, Toru Ming Hai turned his head away and continued walking as if he didn't see it.

"Toru~kun~!"

But as expected, before he had taken a step or two, he was stopped by Yukinoshita Haruno who had chased out of the store.

"Ahahaha, Yukinoshita-senpai. What a coincidence."

Now that I've met this woman, I'm in trouble.

He was too lazy to pretend to be a harmless and obedient junior, so he greeted Yang Nai with a fake smile - anyway, this woman who was as shrewd as a fox could see through most people's disguises.

"Ah, it would be better if you could use your politeness now on what happened when you just saw me and turned away."

Sure enough, she started teasing people with her sweet and bright smile.

"But since you're Toru-kun, I can forgive you~ It's actually quite funny when you're being awkward, and it's also quite cute."

She tilted her head, her lively eyes flickering, as if she never hesitated about how to express her feelings directly.

One of the three major illusions in life - "She says these words, could it be that she likes me" makes a brilliant appearance!

But at the same time, the long-forgotten memories in Minghai's mind were inevitably evoked.

That was the alarm bell sounded by the novelist "Murakami Toru".

He vaguely remembered that he started dating Yukinoshita Haruno because he felt that her courage to express her feelings so recklessly was somewhat dazzling, which made him, who was usually indifferent to emotions, feel a rare curiosity.

But after dating him, he found out that this guy was actually very similar to himself, both of them were hollow people pretending to be free, carefree and normal people.

"Not good. This woman is really good at giving you a stick and then feeding you a piece of candy. If I hadn't fallen for her before, I might have been taken advantage of just now."

One of the three major illusions in life - "She said these words, could it be that she likes me?" Leave with regret...!

"Senior is really good at praising people, maybe it's because he is so gentle and friendly to everyone."

Ming Hai, who was used to making himself look less aggressive in interpersonal communication so as to lower other people's psychological defenses, blinked his lake blue eyes and put on a harmless expression.

"I was a little happy just now, but if Senior said this to everyone, I would still feel a little sad."

Sincerity is the eternal killer move - disguised sincerity is another kind of killer move.

"—"

As expected, Yukinoshita Haruno's originally relaxed smile became a little forced. Even though she saw through Ming Hai's fake innocent disguise and knew that this was just a teasing to embarrass her, this level of direct attack was enough to make her speechless for a while.

"Even when you are speechless, your expression is still beautiful."

The curly-haired boy tilted his head, squinted his eyes and showed a casual and cheerful smile - even though Yukinoshita Haruno felt that the non-existent fox tail behind him was already shaking proudly.

"And you studied hard in the bookstore on your day off. You're indeed a student from a prestigious university."

He took the lead in giving the way out, and Yang Nai followed suit and changed the subject.

"No, I just want to read some light novels to ease my study pace."

She smiled and cast her gaze towards the rows of bookshelves behind the transparent glass of the bookstore, her eyes wandering over the various books.

"I don't know why, but lately I've always liked reading books with bizarre and unconventional settings... Even though they're completely illogical and have a weak beginning and a weak ending, they still unexpectedly attract me."

"That's it..."

Ming Hai pulled the corners of his mouth, but the smile seemed a little forced.

It seems that there are already some signs of the impact of simulation on reality.

"What about you, Toru-kun? Are you wandering the streets aimlessly by yourself on your day off?"

Yang No withdrew her gaze and turned back to look at the curly-haired boy who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Would you like me to ask Yukino out for you, so that the two of you can have a study session together?"

"It's not very convenient. I already have an appointment with a friend."

Translated it means: I declined.

Please hold back on this level of probing, Miss Yang No.

"Oh? Friend?"

Having said that, Yang Nai raised his eyebrows again with interest.

"Tetsu-kun, are you going to have a study session with others?"

"No, I went to the music store with her. She wanted to buy a new bass."

“Oh…I see.”

Yukinoshita Haruno looked the curly-haired boy up and down. This look, as if trying to dig out some information from the other person, was very familiar.

How could I not be familiar with her after having been in a relationship with her for several years?

"What about Tetsu-kun's friends~ Are they classmates from school?"

“No, they are friends I met through my hobbies.”

"Is that so? Then we are the same age?"

"Ah."

What kind of person is he? A boy or a girl?

"Girls."

In the face of Yukinoshita Haruno's continuous questions, Narumi responded with true and sincere answers without oversharing.

It’s better to say that there is no need to keep anything secret in front of Yukinoshita Haruno. The more honest you are, the less she will find room for doubt. The more you try to hide things, the more it will arouse her curiosity to explore the secret.

"Haha, we've been communicating deeply in the simulation for several years. Don't I know what this woman is thinking?"

Based on the experience he had accumulated over the years of spending time with Haruno in the simulation, Toru Narumi was able to come up with a rough strategy.

In order to deal with Yukinoshita Haruno, who is full of suspicion and wariness of others, you need to be able to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

"Oh, I met a girl of my age from another school through my hobbies."

She integrated the information she had obtained so far, and her face was still smiling as she faced the boy.

"Do you know Yukino-chan too?"

Sure enough, he came. It seemed that he was asking questions even though he knew the answer, but in fact he was trying to divert trouble...!

Chapter 41: Only Children Make Choices

"Do you know Yukino-chan, the girl you met through your hobbies?"

With a warm smile on her face, Yukinoshita Haruno set the most terrifying trap.

In response to this, Ming Hai Toru's response is still -

"You are obviously the senior who cares about me, so why do you always bring up Minister Yukinoshita?"

He responded directly with an innocent look of confusion, as if he was pointing at the trap set by Haruno and saying, "Who are you trying to harm by putting the spikes in there?"

"Ah, it's just that as a sister, I am a little concerned about the interpersonal relationships between my dear sister and her friends. What's more, you are a member of the opposite sex whose background I don't know at all... Or does Toru-kun really dislike being mentioned about relationships?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was still eloquent. After briefly excusing herself, she blinked her bright eyes and threw the question back. She regained the initiative and started a new round of probing.

In order to deal with someone who is calculating and measuring you every minute and every second, Ming Hai actually has a set of revised strategies. After all, he and Haruno have been boyfriend and girlfriend for several years for a long time.

But that is the approach of "Narumi Toru", a novelist who is on par with Yukinoshita Haruno.

As a member of Yukinoshita Yukino's team, he still looks like a junior with low threat in the eyes of Yukinoshita Haruno - at the moment, he is not suitable for this method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop new strategies that are unique to you.

"That's not the case. I just hate the phenomenon that as long as I have a good relationship with a member of the opposite sex, others will imagine or encourage me to have an affair with her."

The curly-haired boy frowned, rarely showing his dissatisfaction and disgust on his face.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had not expected to receive such feedback, was stunned for a moment.

"Although I know this is human nature, but in the end, whenever I walk side by side with the opposite sex or spend some time alone with them, people around me will have wild thoughts about them, which is a bit annoying sometimes."

"Ah, that's not what I meant..."

"I thought that the older seniors would understand this better than me. After all, I think that you are a very smart person who cares about other people's emotions. I didn't expect that even you can't escape this kind of sexual thinking. Even though human society has developed to its current level, elites in this environment will still be curious about this most primitive gossip. I took the initiative to have such an unreasonable filter for you. I'm very sorry..."

"Well... I'll treat you to a cup of coffee in the book bar, Toru-kun!"

Before the smile on her face could disappear, Yukinoshita Haruno forced a smile and changed the subject - she admitted that sometimes she couldn't handle this junior who was a few years younger than her.

Since Haruno likes to smile but hides a knife in her heart, Minghai thinks that he should tear off the disguise and express his emotions directly.

Apparently, it's quite useful.

And I also managed to get a cup of coffee from Yukinoshita Haruno for free, what a win.

The curly-haired boy who had won the first battle raised his eyebrows, and followed Yang No into the bookstore with a lighter step.

"What would you like to drink, Toru-kun? I'll go get you some at the coffee bar."

"Latte, please. Thank you, senior."

"Little things, little things~"

Yang Noi walked towards the front desk with her wallet and waved to him to indicate that they would see each other later. Ming Hai also decided to walk around the bookstore while waiting.

He was a loyal reader who would come to the bookstore regularly during his free time to check if his favorite authors had any new books. If his daily life had not been turned upside down by the simulation recently, he would have come to the bookstore to work in his spare time.

When Ming Hai was walking between the bookshelves, trying to find one or two unread light novels to kill time -

The figure he caught sight of in front of the bookshelf made him pause.

It was a girl standing in front of the light novel column. She was wearing a simple but sensual casual short skirt. She was tall and had a curvy figure. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. Her face was delicate and elegant as she was concentrating on reading the Chinese book in her hand.

After a moment, as if noticing the boy's gaze, her mellow wine-red eyes turned slightly and met Ming Hai's gaze.

"Feel sorry."

She thought that she was blocking others' view of choosing books by standing in the narrow aisle, so she politely bowed her head slightly to apologize to the curly-haired boy, put the book in her hand neatly back in its place, and turned and left.

"fine."

Ming Hai also subconsciously responded to her courtesy, watching the girl slowly leave before looking away.

He came to the light novel column and pulled out the book that the girl had just read - "Love Metronome".

This happened to be the book that Ming Hai had read. It was about a love story where the male protagonist was entangled between two female protagonists and didn't know which one to choose.

Although he liked the book's detailed description of emotions, he was not very interested in the plot where he had to choose between the two.

It's all or nothing - that's what he thought as he didn't like wasting his energy on such things.

Just get rid of the people and things that make you feel troubled. Even if you force them to stay, it will not make either of you feel comfortable.

In this regard, he feels the same way about the two Yukinoshita sisters. If they continue to cause him trouble, he will pull himself out of this endless vortex in time.

Leaving aside Yukino, Yang No is the one who has been creating unnecessary crises for him - not to mention that she also has the delicate identity of being his ex-girlfriend.
