This is not the date I wanted.

What does the last part mean? Why did such a spirit appear? Why did Gokawa Shido say such a thing?

With all kinds of questions and uncontrollable curiosity, Erya swallowed, picked up his mobile phone, and scanned the QR code at the bottom of the cover.

PS: In the original work, the comics of Shidao and others have a total of 64 pages.

24 The pain of breaking up

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

"Kuku - my compatriot, the witch favored by the thunder of heaven, the dream weaver of the heavenly rules, it is understandable that you are worried about the disasters brought by such taboo knowledge in the mortal world. However, you and I are close friends who have signed a blood contract. With the power of my son, the son of hurricane, you don't need to be afraid. So you can tell me - the truth hidden in the kaleidoscope!"

At this time, next to Mengyue, Yamayakuya was speaking meaningless words in his usual middle school tone.

Mengyue tried to translate Yajuya's words in her mind.

——We have such a good relationship, so I’ll give you some spoilers about the subsequent plot of the story.

(Not good. I can actually interpret Yakuya’s words. I guess I haven’t adjusted to my current state yet…)

She felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but on the surface, Meng Yue still answered calmly.

"No."

"Hmm... stingy."

Staring at Mengyue with a slightly resentful look, Yejushi muttered something in a low voice.

"Leak a secret. When I first read Meng Yue's novel, Yakushi secretly cried."

"Xi, Xixian, why do you know that?!"

Seeing that his secret was discovered, Yakuya shouted in panic. However, Yui remained silent with a smile on her face.

"I admire you. I didn't expect Mengyue to have the talent to write novels. Thanks to Mengyue, I was able to buy the book so smoothly."

"This is not just my credit." Meng Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

To be honest, if Nanashi had not been able to perfectly realize his own requirements in the comics and show a sufficiently powerful scene on the last page, coupled with everyone's publicity, Mengyue's novel alone would not have achieved such an effect.

"Well, it's been a while since I started writing, and to be honest I was quite nervous. I'm relieved to receive your praise."

"I have a lot of dissatisfaction with this work."

"I seconded. It's one thing to be nice to watch. But Yui and Yakuya feel the same way. Why is it that in the end only one person steals the limelight, and why is it written as such a sad story?"

"And the ending is the worst, leaving Shidao with such a difficult choice. Mengyue, have you ever considered the feelings of the characters in the story?"

Faced with the Yamai sisters who expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, Mengyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Calm down. That's just something I made up. It's not true. There's no need to get so angry, right?"

After hearing Mengyue's words, Xixian and Yakushi were still a little bit unacceptable, but they finally calmed down.

(Really…)

Meng Yue secretly let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, not only the Yami sisters, but many people have approached her privately after reading her novel.

Perhaps it is because the protagonist of the story is a reverse elf conceived by Mengyue based on herself. Although Mengyue simply takes some real elements to the extreme and does not have any deep meaning, everyone always thinks that there is something else behind her words.

But this is also proof that everyone cares about me, Meng Yue thought helplessly in her heart.

"Question. If it were Yugetsuki, what choice would you want Shidou to make in the story?"

Xixian asked silently. Seeing that the other party was planning to get something out of her words, Mengyue raised her head and answered nonchalantly.

"I don't know. I never thought about it."

——————————————————I am the dividing line for transferring scenes————————————————————————

After scanning the QR code, a web page popped up.

The dark background and white fonts give people a very depressing atmosphere.

"Ah... it's hard to read. It's not night time, is it necessary to make it this color?"

Erya took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, then squinted and stared at the screen of his mobile phone.

Unlike the comics, the story begins with a girl's self-narration.

Different from the elves in the story, the girl was originally an ordinary person living in the ordinary world. In an accident while traveling, she was turned into an elf by a nonsensical god (who called himself) and sent to a strange world.

He was cut off from normal society, became the enemy of humanity, and lived a life of escape amid endless pursuit.

Wandering in such an excessive world, the girl wandered around at a loss, constantly looking for a place that could accommodate her, a home that could welcome her.

Fortunately, the world is not completely cruel. A boy named "Shidao" saved the girl and fulfilled her wish.

"Very good……"

Seeing this, Honjo Niya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike comics, the novel clearly focuses the narrative on one character, so there is no problem of too many characters to tell the whole story.

And we have to mention the author's writing style here. Although he didn't use many words, he clearly expressed the girl's experiences, troubles, and psychological changes. The rhythm of the story is also very comfortable, making people feel very involved when reading it.

So when Erya saw the girl found a place to stay, his heart was at ease.

The story of the novel continues.

The girl is a contented person. She is satisfied with having a home that accepts her and living a peaceful life.

But teenagers are different.

In this world, there are elves like the "girl" who are excluded by humans. The boy doesn't want to make them sad, he wants to save them and let them live a peaceful life. This is the boy's wish.

The girl was just one of the elves who were rescued. Although she didn't want to see him in danger, she couldn't stop him.

At the same time, the boy's ability to risk his own life to save others is also the girl's admiration.

So, the girl made up her mind to help the boy, assist him in helping the elves who were in trouble like her, and protect the boy from danger.

"……Eh?"

A strange feeling of disharmony made Erya frown in confusion.

According to the description in the novel, it seems that the girl has joined "Gokawa Shidao" from a relatively early period to assist him in saving the elves, but in the comics, the girl's story was ignored.

“No…wait!”

In an instant, Erya seemed to understand something, and suddenly opened the comic and turned to the corresponding page according to the content in the novel on his mobile phone.

"I went and...I really found it."

Erya couldn't help but gasp.

To be precise, Erya did not discover the girl's figure in the comics, but found the "traces" left by the girl.

If you just read the comics, these plots will give you a feeling of "plot requirements", "because the male protagonist has the aura of the protagonist", and "the author can't make it up". But after reading the novel, these inconsistencies are perfectly explained.

At every critical moment, the girl always plays a crucial role in places that cannot be seen in comics.

"Narrative trick? ... You are really good, Bili-chan."

Erya sighed with a feeling of half surprise and half admiration.

Narrative trick is a special technique in writing novels. The author uses the structure of the article or the writing skills to cleverly induce the readers to have a preconceived idea, concealing some facts until the later stage or the end, giving people an indescribable sense of surprise.

Although the method used in this work is immature, it is indeed an application of narrative trickery.

If you read the manga alone, it's just a manga about a boy mindlessly collecting girls for his harem. But if you read the novel, it becomes a one-sided love story of a girl who selflessly devotes herself to a boy.

Erya felt like he was slapped in the face.

Just now she said that 65 pages was too abrupt to use to create eight characters, but the author told her that she was using 65 pages to create an "invisible" heroine.

Although her face hurt, she had to admit that her curiosity had been completely piqued.

Although he experienced a lot of dangers and hardships, with the help of the girl and his friends, the boy finally overcame them safely.

At the same time, as time went by, the boy was moved by the girl's dedication and gradually developed a good impression of her.

Just as the distance between the two was gradually shortening, something strange happened.

One day, for no reason, the girl was forgotten by everyone.

"Eh?"

Erya was stunned when he read this.

No one could see the girl or hear her voice. All records related to the girl were erased, and the world continued to run on its own as if the girl had never existed.

Although the girl was caught unprepared for such a reality, she was not discouraged.

She remained calm, racked her brains to understand and analyze the current situation, and tried hard to think of ways to get everyone's attention.

Even if there is only one person.

It's okay to be alone.

"..."

Watching the girl's monologue, Erya couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Because whether her struggle was successful or not, the answer is clearly given on the last page of the comic.

The reality is very cruel. Even if you work hard, it does not mean you will get a reward.

The girl used various methods to try to convey her own affairs and her name to her family.

However, even though she was still able to interfere with things, she was unable to convey the message.

"..."

Seeing this, Erya turned back to the comic book in silence.

On one of the pages, a row of meaningless scribbles were engraved in a corner of the floor.

But in the novel, the girl actually wrote her own name.

The girl's family, the protagonist, and the readers all ignored the graffiti on the ground.

The same result kept repeating itself in front of the girl, and gradually, like an engine that had lost power, it began to lose its heat.

Finally, looking at everyone who ignored her and cared about their own happiness, the girl couldn't help but think.

——I was betrayed by my family.

The moment she came to this conclusion, the girl was devoured by the "beast" in her heart.

"Then I received page 65... This is too cruel... Bili-chan, you can't trick people into crying like this."

Holding back the tears from her eyes, Erya's mood at this moment could be said to be extremely complicated.

There is only one last part of the novel's story left.

As if it wanted to destroy the world that excluded it, the "beast" revealed its ferocious fangs under its innocent smile.

The power that had once assisted the boy had now completely reversed, slaughtering all the humans present without any scruples.

Perhaps there was still some attachment in his heart, so the boy was not attacked by the "beast" and survived by chance.

The boy couldn't recall the identity of the person in front of him, but he still vaguely noticed that he had forgotten something important.

Then, after experiencing this and that, the boy finally remembered everything.

Afterwards, due to various reasons beyond his control, the boy was faced with two choices.

One, give up the girl, so that the girl will return to her own world and live a peaceful life. And the boy and the girl will forget each other's existence and separate forever.

On the other hand, the boy will abandon all the ties that have accumulated so far, block that illusory possibility, and bring the girl back to his side.

"Ah... such a disturbing choice again."

Erya couldn't help but feel anxious.

Unlike the choices that appear in the general routine, these two choices are cruel, but at the same time they also leave room for maneuver. If you choose one, the girl can return to a peaceful life without any risk, but everything that the reader has seen so far will be wiped out for the two.

But if you choose the second option, even if you succeed, the boy’s surroundings will never return to their original state.

If you want to gain something, you have to give up something.

No matter what choice the boy makes, Niya won't be surprised.

For some reason, in Nia's eyes, the figure of "Shidao" was overlapping with that of Tokiwa Ye who made the decision at that time.
