Kaguya Shinomiya, in the form of an ice sculpture as expected.
As early as in the copy, Yuki learned indirectly that Hayasaka Ai was in the first grade, and thus roughly determined the timeline of Shuchiin.
"Normally speaking, Shinomiya Yanan shouldn't be sick at this time."
Yuki touched his chin. He had been very careful over the years and definitely had not caused any butterfly effect. But after returning from the game, he realized that the butterfly effect had already existed.
There is no telling how many players there are in this world. For example, the middle-aged man dozing off next to me may be one of them. Moreover, the game only gives warnings and punishments, and does not completely deprive the player of his extraordinary power.
That’s right, what Yuki fears most is the reincarnation game itself. As his powers are unlocked, he discovers more and more mysteries.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and slid through many landscape photos with castles one by one. His finger paused, pausing on one of the photos.
There are six towers on top of the high walls. The main body of the majestic castle is divided into two parts, front and back. There is a lush garden between the castle and the high walls, and a huge modern city not far away.
Yuki carefully identified it, moved his finger and pressed the delete key, then closed his eyes and huddled back in his seat.
Well, they are nine or even ten percent similar.
......
In the evening, the Shinkansen pulled into the station. Yuki, dressed in a white shirt and casual pants, carried his computer bag, stretched lazily, and stepped onto the platform.
Like a corporate slave on a business trip, he glanced around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode towards the exit.
A slender girl was standing there, wearing a purple floral dress, like a slowly blooming daffodil. Unfortunately, the mask covered most of her face, and only her lively purple eyes could be seen.
"Senior, you really came to pick me up. I thought you were so heartless."
"Hmph, what will you do if I don't respond to you?" Mai's eyes were helpless, but without any disgust.
Yuki stood straight and raised his chin slightly: "Of course, he is just like the paparazzi, asking around for the address of the famous star Sakurajima Mai."
"Pervert, stalker!" Sakurajima Mai blurted out. Seeing that everyone around her turned to look at her, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "I'm really scared of you. Let's go now."
She was a little confused. She was known for her sharp words and mature mentality, but why she had never won.
Haha, no one can beat me in verbal combat.
Yuki smiled a winner and reached out to grab Mai's sleeve.
"Are you ready to go back now?" Sakurajima Mai turned back happily.
"How is that possible? Turn off your backup phone first." Yuki looked up and saw that the camera at the station was no longer flashing red.
"why?"
"I don't want anything to disturb our world of two."
Mai Sakurajima looked at Yuki speechlessly, not quite understanding what this pig-headed boy was thinking, so she simply took out her old cell phone and turned it off.
"That's all."
"Yeah, senior sister is really well-behaved and sensible."
"I'm only a senior in high school. Are you a college student so shameless?"
Amidst the low chatter, the two of them left the station directly, and under the guidance of Yuki, they made many detours, crossed the commercial street, and entered an alley.
Just when Sakurajima Mai suspected that Yuki was up to no good, he finally stopped in front of a secluded cafe.
The decoration here is nice, but there are few customers, so the two of them found a corner and sat down.
Mai Sakurajima took a look at the menu and realized it was very expensive, no wonder there were not many customers. Noticing that Yuki was wearing cheap clothes, she ordered the cheapest black coffee and even refused to have any dessert.
After a while, when the waiter brought the coffee, she took off her mask and stirred it with a golden spoon while staring at the man in front of her.
"Senior, I feel really shy when you look at me like that." Yuki turned his head away, looking very distressed.
"Don't lie to me. You are so thick-skinned, how can you be shy?" Mai snorted softly and knocked on the table: "You came all the way here, and you acted like a spy meeting, what do you want to do?"
"It's simple. I finally got back to reality. I want to look around and maybe find something new. I can also help you with some after-school tutoring."
Well, that does make some sense.
Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly. Since they didn't know what the next copy would be like, they had no way to prepare. The three of them decided to team up, and it was only right that they help each other improve.
Why does this after-school tutoring sound weird?
She picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then coughed and said, "Don't you have any friends after you come back and don't take a good rest?"
"I can't help it. I'm the captain, so I have to take responsibility." Yuki also picked up the coffee cup, shook it gently in his hand, and looked up at the girl.
"But don't you have friends too?"
There was melodious music playing in the cafe. Mai Sakurajima was obviously stunned for a moment and her eyebrows furrowed.
Yuki was right, she really had no friends. But unlike other girls who screamed and yelled when their secrets were exposed, Mai lowered her voice instead.
"When did you start being a perverted stalker?"
"I guessed. You became famous so early, and humans always stay away from dazzling things." Yuki almost choked on his coffee and looked at the girl who was a little proud. "But it doesn't matter. After passing the novice copy, we have become something else. We can't even confide our troubles."
"what?"
Ding.
Yuki put down his coffee cup, leaned forward, and spoke each word clearly.
"An alien called player."
PS: 7,000 words have been typed.
In the low-key and elegant cafe, Yuki and Sakurajima Mai sat opposite each other, each of them seemed to be worried.
Alien? What a familiar word.
Mai was not disgusted, but full of approval. In the past two days, apart from rejecting her mother's call to return to the entertainment industry, she has been sitting in a daze in the apartment.
There are a lot of heavy things weighing on my heart, and I have no way to tell them to others. They may disappear out of thin air at any time and never appear again.
Returning was not as good as she had imagined, and even going to school seemed meaningless. But she still wanted to come back, to see her mother and sister, and to continue her dream.
This is just like pulling the silk string of a kite. Without reality, it will fly away and disappear sooner or later.
"No wonder you came to me on purpose. Do you think people of the same kind should stick together for warmth?" Sakurajima Mai smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile.
"Wrong. I am only responsible for increasing your survival rate in the game. You should still live your life as usual."
"Doesn't this contradict what you just said?"
"It's the same, but for those things that can't be said, I will be responsible for listening and working together to find a solution." Yuki didn't pester her and gently stirred his coffee:
"You can handle the rest on your own. If you want to continue your acting career, that's fine. You're already famous enough that you can't hide it anyway."
I see. What he meant was to separate the game from reality, live a normal life as a human being, and confide in each other as players. Wait, isn't this how I lived before?
Mai raised her eyebrows slightly, and then found that there were still some differences. At least none of her classmates who had struggled in the entertainment industry before were excluded outside the spotlight. In the entertainment industry full of intrigues, there were no friends, and there would never be any companions who would depend on each other for life and death.
It suddenly dawned on her that Yuki was very close to her in every sense, and the reincarnation game was just one of the intersections.
"Thank you. I've been worrying about these things recently, but you can tell me about these things online."
"I always feel weird through the screen. Not only do I have no friends, I don't even have any relatives." Yuki shrugged. He was much more miserable than Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai. He didn't know what to do after returning.
His plan to join the diving club was cut short because he was afraid that Oolong Tea would be too powerful, so he let himself join the dungeon in a hungover state, with a debuff from the start.
"Hehe, isn't the person in front of you a fellow human being, a friend?"
"Senior, you have such a high emotional intelligence!"
"You've already put the words on your lips, how can I ignore them?" Mai rolled her eyes and slowly stretched out her hand.
Uh, seen through.
Yuki was not embarrassed at all. If he wanted to conquer the enemy, he had to first turn teammates into friends. Now the timing was right, and they shared the same life and death and interests, so this layer of window paper could be easily broken.
The two hands were clasped together, warm, tender, and seemed to have some unique fragrance, but unfortunately, after just two seconds, Sakurajima Mai quickly withdrew her hands.
"Senior, you are too stingy. We held hands many times in Hongyue City. I even carried you on my back."
"We were trying to escape at that time, how can this be taken seriously?" Mai glared at Yuki lightly, propped up her head, and asked slowly: "When exactly do we start the team discussion? Isn't there a third and most important thing?"
She still had two enhancement points and two specialization points left. She had wanted to use them several times, but was hesitant because there were too many ways to use them.
"Is it so boring to be with me?" Yuki answered the question irrelevantly, and the whole person was like a deflated ball.
"No, it's quite interesting." Mai answered subconsciously. Seeing the boy with a sly smile, she turned her head away angrily, "Don't be complacent, I just want to be more interesting."
It's really interesting. At least I have never met such a complicated person. He is a pig-headed boy with a brain full of nonsense, whose dirty talk even makes me unable to handle it. He is also a cold and decisive executioner who hardly makes mistakes in the suffocating reincarnation game.
But more importantly, it was his loyalty that brought me back from the nightmare, as if we had become friends a long time ago without him saying anything.
Yes, I would be nervous when facing Li Dan, but I didn’t feel the slightest fear towards this Pighead. Obviously, what he did was very horrible, and even Li Dan was afraid of him.
Mai Sakurajima looked at the window and smiled unconsciously. Some relationships were confirmed silently.
Yuki also saw this smile, but did not take the opportunity to launch a flirtatious attack. Instead, he tilted his head back and gulped down the coffee.
"Don't worry, I still need to confirm some things."
"About reality?" Sakurajima Mai raised her eyebrows. She was not stupid. The topic just now seemed to be about making friends, but in fact it revolved around games and reality.
"Well, there will be results soon." Yuki blinked, picked up the computer, and slapped 10,000 yen on the table, "Let's go, let's go around first."
Mai Sakurajima glanced at the ten thousand yuan bill on the table and thought that she should not have shown mercy.
"I can't see that you are quite rich?"
"No way, I've spent all my inheritance over the years, and the monthly rent for the apartment I live in is only 20,000 yen."
"Then why do you come to such an expensive cafe?"
"I don't even have enough money for the bus fare back to Izu, so these few days..." Yuki wiped his hair, looking proud of his poverty, and turned into a bowing immortal:
"Senior, please support me."
......
I've been tricked again. This bastard is trying to make things difficult for me.
In the alley, the street lights were dim. A girl in a white dress was walking in front, looking angry.
She thought they could meet offline to talk things out, then go back to their own homes and meet again at the next copy, but she was left alone without realizing it.
When it comes to paying for the train fare, Yuki says how can a real man accept charity from a woman, and says he'll lend it to him, but then he changes to saying he's afraid he'll have to pay it back, so he'll have to sign a contract to sell himself if he can't pay it back.
"Hey, you're really not going back?"
Yuki lowered his head to play with his phone, tapped the pillar next to him, and said sullenly, "I can't go back. It takes a whole day and night to walk, and I didn't even have dinner. I guess I'll starve to death halfway."
"You...Okay, I'll treat you to dinner and call you a taxi, that should be fine."
"How can a man like me..." Yuki was halfway through his words when he saw the girl's vicious eyes and laughed dryly: "It is my greatest honor that Senior is willing to support me."
You have good eyesight.
Sakurajima Mai relaxed her brows, and suddenly found that Yuki was very good at controlling the temper. Even though he was being shameless, he would not cause real disgust. He then spoke freely, and was not as cold and silent as the stereotyped strong man.
What a weird one, but really quite entertaining.
She hummed softly, slowed down her pace, let Yuki walk side by side, and then asked, "What do you want to eat? It can't be too expensive."
"Where is the most lively place in Kanagawa? Where is the most popular snack bar?"
"It should be the Temple Fair Street."
"Then let's go to Temple Fair Street."
The two walked shoulder to shoulder through the alley towards the temple fair street. The street lights in the old city were dim and there was no one in the alley. In the past, Sakurajima Mai would have been scared, but this time she was not afraid at all.
After going through the novice copy, if nothing else, the psychological quality is already stronger than that of ordinary people. What's the big deal about being pitch black? Is it scarier than a bunch of zombies rushing out under the crimson moon? Or is it more terrifying than the wall suddenly breaking and a 3-meter-tall bald man locking onto you?
This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Even if I become an ordinary person again, at least I am much braver. If a gangster who wants to rob me really shows up, I can kick him into a cripple without any panic.
Moreover, the dungeon time is very short, and there is a transition period for returning, so I am not afraid of being discovered.
Mai Sakurajima quietly clenched her fists, finally experiencing the positive feedback of the reincarnation game.
Gradually, the street lights became brighter, and there were more people on the road. Some small shops selling accessories appeared on both sides of the road. Mai looked around and saw that almost all of them were young couples, holding hands, and occasionally hearing ambiguous laughter.
