Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Just leaning against her back and hugging her shoulders.

Oreki Gen smelled the light fragrance coming from her hair, as if everything was about to fall into peace again.

He heard the girl's soft voice.

"So until now, you haven't given up that unrealistic idea?"

Oreki Gen knew what the other party was referring to.

he said softly.

"Ah."

"So I didn't make you feel incomparably wonderful?"

She seemed to have a rare moment of doubt about herself.

Oreki Genji leaned close to her ear and spoke in a soft voice.

"I do feel your beauty, which is indeed incomparable."

"Then why haven't you given up yet? Do you think it's because other people can make you feel the same way?"

Oreki Gen didn't know what expression the girl in his arms had at this moment.

Is he suppressing his anger and ready to fight at any time, or is he unusually depressed and secretly sad?

He didn't know, he just wanted to give his own answer.

"No one will ever replace the feeling you give me, just like no one will ever replace me."

He ruffled the girl's hair.

He didn't open his eyes, as if he was sinking into the darkness.

"It's just...I still hopelessly and unrepentantly believe that everyone deserves happiness."

"If you describe it this way, you should know that it is not correct, or just."

Sakuraba Mitsuki's voice was a little soft, and there seemed to be no extra emotion in it.

Oreki Gen smiled.

"There is no such thing as justice and rightness. I only know that I have to do what I should do, to make fewer people sad and to make life more complete. I can't tell you exactly why I am so persistent and why I feel this way. But..."

"At this point, what else can make me forgive you, Oreki Gen?"

Oreki Xian hugged the girl tightly.

Hug tightly.

It seemed that if he relaxed a little, he would completely lose her, and she would disappear in his arms like smoke.

"I like you. I am sure now that I like you very much, and I can't lose you."

These words made Oreki Gen clearly feel the slight trembling of the body in his arms, so obvious.

Sakuraba Mitsuki did not answer immediately, she was silent for a long time.

How long will it take approximately?

One minute?

five minutes?

Or longer?

Oreki Gen didn't count the time, he just closed his eyes, as if it would be nice to fall asleep like this.

But he still heard Sakuraba Mitsuki's answer.

"Does this mean you admit defeat?"

"When two people love each other, there is no such thing as winning or losing."

"But games have winners and losers."

"The game is over long ago."

“When it ended, I don’t know.”

Oreki opened his eyes.

The closed curtains let in only a tiny bit of light, like a spider's thread.

But that was the only light in the room at that moment.

He said.

"It started when we met, and it ends when we meet."

"I don't like such riddles."

"This is not a riddle, because from that moment on, there is no need for any games, nor any extra reasons. The rope of fate has tied us together tightly. No matter what the reason is, we will not separate, we will be together. Until death do us part."

Isn't it until death?

This situation was destined to happen from the moment he couldn't escape from the other party.

The strategy begins.

I can only move forward.

And from that time on, there was no possibility for them to separate.

Because as long as I fail, as long as I leave, I will die, no matter how.

That would mark the end of this story.

So it must be until death.

So this isn't really a game at all.

This is an adventure from which there is no return, and this is a lock from which there is only one solution.

"If I say I don't understand you, I don't know why you say that."

Sakuraba Mitsuki's words were not calm enough to allow the boy to catch a hint of sensuality.

Oreki kissed her hair.

As devoutly as a knight kissing the back of the queen's hand.

"It doesn't matter... There's still a lot of time. I will use my whole life to prove this proposition. And I said, I like you... I'm telling you that I'm willing to spend so much time."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid of death, but I can't leave you."

"...Go to sleep."

she said softly.

This long night seems to have no answers or endings.

I will never know what expression Sakuraba Mitsuki had when she listened to my words.

Until the moment the exam is over.

The window was not closed properly, and in this gloomy weather, the sudden raindrops fell and smashed onto his arms.

Oreki Gen suddenly looked up in surprise.

Last night, I was used as a pillow for my arm, and it seemed to be wet like this...

Chapter 104: Let's Escape Together

The examination process went smoothly.

It is also because it is really hard to find any problems with Oreki String now.

As long as the knowledge passes through your own eyes, it can be digested and understood quickly, and the clear memory will remain for a long time.

The improvement of intelligence still has many benefits. For an ordinary person, it is an opportunity to change his fate. However, it is difficult for Oreki Xian to feel surprised by these things now.

Now he could understand why those top students liked Versailles.

To be honest, you won’t be excited when you can always easily apply the knowledge you have learned to complete the test and get the expected answers.

What kind of people get excited?

That means he never expected to do so well in the exam. Only a 'gambler' who basically relies on guessing on multiple-choice questions would occasionally be overjoyed because of a piece of good luck.

This is also the reason why there are almost no multiple-choice questions in high-quality exams.

After the exam, Oreki Gen put down his pen. He was still the first one in the class to finish the exam. Many classmates were no longer surprised by this.

Originally, Oreki Ken's grades were just average, and his sudden improvement was a little hard to get used to before, but now it seems that it can only be regarded as a normal "awakening" for boys in high school.

When I walked out of the classroom, it was raining outside.

Although the weather is not very good and is depressingly gloomy, it still cannot stop many people from getting excited about the coming holiday.

The exams haven't even ended yet, but many classrooms are already noisy.

However, none of this had anything to do with Oreki Gen. On the last day of the holiday, he naturally headed towards the club classroom.

The familiar house number 103.

Standing at the door, Oreki Ken turned his head slightly and saw the crowds in other club classrooms were already becoming a little lively.

I would like to say hello and wish you a happy new year in advance.

"Happy New Year, Oreki-san!"

Not far away, a girl with pigtails and thick glasses blushed and waved her hand vigorously to greet people. Even though the distance seemed very far away, she felt like she had met a star.

Oreki Gen smiled.

"Happy New Year to you too."

He didn't know who the other person was, but the other person knew who he was.

After saying hello, Oreki Xian opened the door and walked into Room 103.

And the girl's excited voice came from not far away.

“Oreki-kun greeted me and I’m going to post it on the forum aaaaaaaaaa!”

Do I deserve such expectations?

Oreki closed the door behind him.

The scene inside was as quiet as ever, but there was someone there.

There is another girl who complements this environment perfectly, Asagiri Ryou.

She sat in that familiar position, holding a familiar book. It was cloudy and rainy outside. The rain hit the window, then slowly slid down, leaving wet marks.

It was like a snail crawling by.

"Why is it just you?"

Oreki Gen put down his schoolbag and sat opposite the girl. Although there were only two of them, sitting next to someone carelessly was not a good choice.

What's more, people cannot just get close to each other when interacting with each other. Sometimes keeping a distance is also a way to maintain beauty.

What's more, this angle is perfect. You can see Asagiri Ryou's delicate and pretty face, with her hair slightly falling, covering some of her side face.

The viewer needs to find her beauty through the gaps in her dense black hair.

Is it the long and straight eyelashes, or the eyes that seem to house a lake, or the thin lips that look delicious when pursed?

Maybe both.

Asagiri Sō looked up at Oreki Gen.

"If you want to find someone else, just go and wait at the classroom door. You don't need to come here."

Her words still sounded harsh, but her tone was clearly not as harsh as before.

But Oreki still felt a little awkward from her words. How should I put it...

It's probably like I really want to show my friendliness and gentle side, but habit and reserve put an abrupt end to these attempts.

I have to say, it's kind of cute.

So the boy just smiled and looked at her.
