This is not the date I wanted.

As if she was muttering something, Lingyin's lips opened and closed slightly.

"…Ein——"

"Ah? Moshimoshi, Shidou."

"——!?"

"Eh? Where are you now? In the physics preparation room at school, with Reine. I accidentally left the textbooks I needed for homework in the classroom, so I came here to get them. By the way, I was going to scare people with my newly bought model gun. -Ah, it's okay. I'll go back now. I'm looking forward to breakfast."

"..."

Meng Yue said after hanging up the phone.

"Sorry. Shidou asked me to go back to eat. I'm sorry to disturb you, Reine."

"No...it's okay."

Shaking her head slowly, Ling Yin stared at Liang Yi Meng Yue and sighed.

"You...are really amazing."

"Thank you."

Meng Yue accepted this as a compliment without any modesty.

PS: Because I read the translated version before, there was a passage where Reine called Shidao "Shen", but now it seems that it should be "Zhen".

PS2: Based on readers’ suggestions, some content has been modified.

postscript

==============================

Meng Yue: "Liang Yi Meng Yue!"

Shido: "Shido Itsuka!"

Meng Yue & Shidao: "Welcome to watch - "Letter from Fraxinus" ~"

……

Meng Yue: "...What is this? Manzai from District 11 or crosstalk from China?"

Shidao: "Um... don't complain about the small details. This is Fraxinus's letter interview. The author borrowed the idea of ​​a colleague to reply to readers' comments on the novel (the second issue)."

Meng Yue: "This plagiarized epilogue that no one will read actually has a second issue. Speaking of this boring opening, has the author of this novel lost something?"

Shidou: "Well, well. Don't say such harsh words. Unlike the author's explanation in the previous volume of Origami Salvation, this volume will be explained by Mengyue and I to explain everyone's comments and keywords."

Meng Yue: "Ah~ I don't have any motivation at all. By the way, Shidao, can I go back directly? I haven't finished watching the new video yet."

Shidao: "You should be more serious, Mengyue - in short, let's look at the first keyword first."

————————————————————————————Confession, the dog food is so sweet——————————————

Meng Yue: "That's all. Okay, the next keyword——"

Shidao: "Wait a minute! What do you mean by finished explaining? You haven't said anything yet!"

Meng Yue: "This is an explanation that only smart people can see. (Seriously)"

Shidou: "What an explanation that is in keeping with the temperament of an emperor - I don't believe it! Don't even think about trying to get away with it."

Meng Yue: “Tsk.”

Shidao: "You just smacked your lips."

Meng Yue: "Okay, there's nothing I can do. Let's get back to the point. What - confession, dog food, right? This is about the 17th chapter where I confessed and fake kissed in order to capture Shidou."

Shidou: "Indeed, that chapter is indeed sickeningly sweet no matter how you look at it. To be honest, Meng Yue was so cute at that time! Kissing right after the confession, this girlish heart is overflowing to the point of foul."

Meng Yue: "But the kiss was fake."

Shidao: "Don't say it! Don't say it! Let me indulge in this beautiful dream! Ugh - damn it, the atmosphere at that time should have been a direct kiss!"

Meng Yue: "No, that's against the rules. Didn't you say it yourself, Shidou? The magic must be released at midnight."

Shidou: "That's exactly what I said...but..."

Meng Yue: "Or did Shidao want me to kiss him directly at that time?"

Shidou: "...Hmm. No, no?"

Meng Yue: "This... is not impossible. No matter what the author said, if I really kissed her at that time, Tohka would suddenly jump out and shout, 'You already have me, but you kissed other women.' Then she would pick up the sword and chop off Shidao's head to usher in the happy ending."

Shidou: "This is a joke. Tohka would never say such a thing."

Meng Yue: "Yeah. It's a joke."

Shidao: "Huh..."

Meng Yue: "The author's real intention is that everyone is dissatisfied with Shidao and then cuts him into pieces, and in the end everyone takes a part of Shidao's body as a ship."

Shidao: "Thank you for not killing me, Lord Mengyue!"

Meng Yue: "Well, these are insignificant little things. But indeed, from the perspective of showing off one's affection, the content of that chapter is indeed outstanding."

Shidao: "After all, even the author proudly proclaimed it everywhere after he finished writing it, saying: 'Now I don't have to worry about people saying it's not as sweet as Yuehua, hahahahahahahahahahaha'!"

Meng Yue: "Letting such a pitiful guy write our story, I think this book is almost coming to an end."

Shidou: "Don't say such unlucky truths. Then, the next keyword is--."

————————————————Kill the White Scholar——————————————————————

Shidou: "...Hmm, I don't quite understand the meaning of this keyword? Is Baixue a scholar? Um, Mengyue?"

Meng Yue: "Ah... my stomach hurts."

Shidao: "Meng Yue, are you okay? You look so ugly."

Meng Yue: "It's okay... I don't think so. Just thinking about the conversation with Tohka, I feel my stomach twitching and churning."

Shidou: "Conversation with Tohka. Speaking of which, after your date with me, you and Tohka had a heart-to-heart talk. What happened?"

Meng Yue: "Ah... To be honest, I don't want to mention it again. Just like the last keyword said, when I confessed to you, Tohka happened to be watching outside the house."

Shidao: "Ah... This is really too bad..."

Meng Yue: "Our author's bad taste is really not to be praised. To be honest, when I heard Tohka say 'Why did it turn out like this?', I felt like I was almost crushed by the guilt and pressure."

Shidou: "But didn't Tohka accept your explanation in the end?"

Meng Yue: "Well, at that time I felt from the bottom of my heart that it was great that Tohka was a pure and kind girl. I was also glad that I didn't really kiss her at that time. Otherwise, according to the author's bad taste, maybe Tohka would suddenly slap you in the face in front of everyone when you were dating, and then ask you tearfully, "Why are you so skilled?" If that were the case..."

Shidao: "Ah... I'm starting to feel a stomachache too."

Meng Yue: "Now that I think about it, this volume has had a vaguely ominous aura since the very beginning."

Shidou: "Are you talking about the slogan 'It's the season of White Album again?'"

Meng Yue: "This part was definitely planned by the author from the beginning. Although in the original work, there is a plot where Tohka is troubled because she knows that the kiss is a sealing method, it is definitely not to that extent."

Shidao: "As expected, let's just beat him to death."

Meng Yue: "That's right, Bai Xuejia must be beaten to death."

——————————————————Drown in your ideals, Gokawa Shidao! ————————————

Meng Yue: "Just drown in your ideals, Shidao!"

Shidou: "Is it necessary to repeat it again!?"

Meng Yue: "Humph, this is Shidao's fault. He had been trying to confirm my feelings for me, but after I told him the truth, he lost his memory and forgot everything. He deserves to be beaten to death by the readers."

Shidou: "Wait a minute! Although I am sorry for forgetting your confession in the text, there is no need to say this. It was an accident beyond our control. And you did answer at that time, Mengyue: 'You are my most important family.' Isn't it?"

Meng Yue: "Stupid Shidao. That's not the point. The point is that my girlish heart was played with. So, you stand in my position and tell me that I will give you an answer at that time."

Shidao: "W-why?"

Meng Yue: "Stop being so pretentious, hurry up."

Shidao: "I, I know! Can't I do it?! That... Mengyue... I love... you."

Meng Yue: "Thank you, you are my most important family~"

Shidou: "——Puff! Ah... this is really too much..."

Meng Yue: "You see, what you said at that time was equivalent to me agreeing to your confession, but then I was immediately thrown a family card and dumped. Do you think I am angry?"

Shidao: "I have no words to say."

Meng Yue: "Do you have anything to say to me now?"

Shidou: "...I'm very sorry."

Meng Yue: "OK, I forgive you. Let's end this topic and jump to the next keyword."

————————————————Meng Yue, Escape from Death——————————————

Meng Yue: "This refers to the last chapter written by the author, the plot where Ling Yin and I talk."

Shidou: "I didn't expect Reine to be an illusion. This is really an unexpected development."

Meng Yue: "You don't know the ones in the main text yet. Also, readers already know Ling Yin's true identity."

Shidou: "Well, it can't be helped. By the way, considering the readers who haven't read volume 18 of the original work, I won't explain the key words 'Mio', 'Shin' and 'Ein——' mentioned in the text."

Meng Yue: "Readers who want to know can read the original novel."

Shidou: "Okay. Let's get back to the point. Mengyue, let me be honest. I think your actions this time were a bit reckless. Your opponent is a phantom, and you are trying to uncover Reine's true identity without telling us. It's too risky."

Meng Yue: "Well, I apologize here first. But it is necessary to confirm Lingyin's true identity. If I maintain an ambiguous and suspicious attitude, it is very likely that the relationship between Lingyin and I will become strained. If my guess is wrong, it's fine. If it's not wrong, then it is even more necessary to confirm Lingyin's attitude and position."

Shidao: "Have you ever thought that Lingyin would kill you to silence you after your identity is revealed?"

Meng Yue: "Sa~ Lingyin is just an illusion or something, I never said that once in the text."

Shidao: "I'm talking to you..."

Meng Yue: "Also, just like the readers in the comment section guessed, at the end of that chapter, I deliberately turned my back to Reine to reveal my flaw. The same thing happened with Shidou's call. On the surface, I received the call from Shidou, but in fact, I asked Juna and the others to connect my phone with Shidou."

Shidao: "I just find it strange. It was clearly you who called me at that time, but you acted like you were answering my call. Were you deliberately warning Lingyin?"

Meng Yue: "That's right. 'If you kill me, your identity will be discovered by Shidou and the others.' This is the secret message I passed to Lingyin, plus the previous hint of 'I don't want to break up with you yet.' As long as Lingyin is a smart person, after weighing the pros and cons, she will definitely not take action."

Shidao: "What if Reine didn't understand the hint and took action directly?"

Meng Yue: "Just say it directly. If all else fails, just run away. If you really can't escape and get killed, I am sure that I can make Ling Yin regret killing me later."

Shidao: "Meng Yue... I'm glad you're not an enemy."

Meng Yue: "I'll take this as a compliment."

——————————Author’s words————————————

Shidao: "Next, I will give you some additional explanations on the content of this article as requested by the author."

Meng Yue: "To be precise, it's the keywords that the author thought would appear in the comments section but didn't. The expression of that chuunibyou staring at the computer screen with resentment has already appeared in my mind. Hehe——"

Shidao: "Meng Yue, please give the author some face here and don't tear it apart."

————Added a lot of other characters’ roles————

Shidao: "According to the author, it was in response to a reader's request to increase the interactive plot of characters other than Mengyue."

Meng Yue: "Actually, this volume of 'Gokawa Burst' was not intended to be written to 30 chapters. The process of Shidao's rampage, Shidao's date with other spirits, and the plot of everyone suppressing the rampage Shidao were originally intended to be condensed and abbreviated."

Shidao: "Since plagiarizing the original text is not the author's interest, I decided to rewrite the original plot in my own way after thinking about it for a while. If you compare it with the original, you will find that except for the lines in this volume, everything else is basically different."

Meng Yue: "From the results, it is quite satisfying. It enriches other characters while strengthening the character of the protagonist. That's what it means."

————————Tohka————————

Shidou: "If I were to say who is the most obvious one... it would be Tohka."

Meng Yue: "Yes, in fact, although the title of this volume in the original work is 'Gokawa Disaster', the content does focus on describing the spirits who work hard to save Shidao, among which Tohka's psychological changes are the most obvious."

Shidou: Well, it was indeed my fault for hiding the fact that the seal required a kiss from Tohka. Even if Tohka was dissatisfied with me after knowing it, I could only admit it honestly. "

Meng Yue: "But in the end she still chose to forgive you and face her feelings. I have to say, why would a pure and kind girl like Tohka and everyone like someone like you, Shidao?"

Shidao: "Even if Mengyue asks me this..."

Meng Yue: "Forget it. I didn't expect you to give a good answer. Let's move on to the next one."
