Type-Moon, I loaded the love game

Holmes said calmly:

"Then let her be alone. I don't want to disturb her," Yinggu said. "Being asked about someone's well-being when they're sad may not necessarily comfort them. She might still be concerned about my feelings and continue to suppress herself."

"Really? That's really not like you. I thought you would be more persistent."

"This is a different time now. Now isn't the time to make her open up like during the Holy Grail War of Love. Let her just immerse herself in her pain. Maybe she'll get over it faster this way!"

"Well, you have a point."

The famous detective nodded thoughtfully.

"It's just that when someone hits rock bottom, they ultimately want comfort from others. Since you've opened her heart before, you can definitely relieve her current melancholy."

"..."

"In short, we at Chaldea Academy are very grateful for your help. Your payment will be remitted to you later. We hope to continue working with you one day."

"I really want to sever ties with you guys forever. This is a one-time miracle collaboration!"

Yinggu pulled the quilt over his head, looking as if he refused to communicate.

But after a while, he whispered again:

"...But, I will go to Yu Ji's place. Let's just treat it as the final after-sales service."

Chapter 194: Moon Watching

[A long time passed like this, until late at night.]

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the library in Academy City.

The moonlight swayed gently, a thin pale moon appeared above the night sky, sparse stars dotted the night sky, and the cry of night cats came from the green belt, sounding very irritating.

Yu Ji had just walked out of the underground library of Chaldea College, holding a pile of reference books in her hands.

She seemed calm, but her complexion was gloomy and her steps were heavy. Her beautiful face was like the bright moon, but was shrouded in a dark cloud of sadness.

Yu Ji raised her head and took a look at the night sky.

How beautiful and pure was the moon above her head? Its light seemed untroubled by any worldly worries, making her feel a little out of place bathing in such moonlight.

"Hey……"

She sighed softly.

"I borrowed a bunch of books from the library out of sheer momentum. Why did I borrow so many on a whim? I don't know when I'll be able to finish reading them..."

"Hey there, wild senior, could you please have a drink with me?"

There was a male voice chatting up me next to me.

Hearing this slightly frivolous tone, Yu Ji frowned and looked over with an impatient look.

But she found out that the person who called her was actually Mochizuki Hideko.

No, it should be said that it was indeed him, because only this guy would use such a disrespectful name.

"Human... no, junior, are you finally awake?"

Yu Ji said angrily,

"No, more than that, why are you sitting here talking to me with a beer in your hand? It's really inexplicable, and you're reeking of alcohol. Are you planning on doing performance art right after you woke up?"

Yinggu, who had just been discharged from the hospital, sat alone on the stairs next to the library.

His head was simply bandaged and he was holding a large bag of cold beer, which seemed to have been bought from a convenience store.

Yinggu had obviously been drinking here for quite a while, his face was red and he looked obviously drunk.

"Nothing," he casually threw out a can of beer, "Senior, this is your share."

"I didn't say a word about drinking with you, why did you just throw it at me like that?"

Yu Ji took the can of beer thrown to her, but acted very indifferent.

"Junior, if you're trying to comfort me, I advise you to stop. Since I came back today, no fewer than dozens of classmates have expressed their condolences to me. Honestly, this is quite annoying, because right now I just want to be alone and calm down."

"Haha, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of comforting you at all. I'm just exercising my privilege as a lifesaver - I ask you to have a drink with me!"

He showed a somewhat arrogant smile,

"I don't mind telling you, I don't care how you feel right now. My mood is the most important thing."

"What's wrong with your condescending attitude?"

"After all, you've already escaped the singularity alive, so I don't have to accommodate you just to improve my favorability. Of course, I can do whatever I want!"

Yinggu burped, and it sounded like drunken gibberish.

"Besides, I don't know who I was working so hard for before. I caught the Noble Phantasm with my face and flirted with married women, causing me so much trouble. And then the person I helped refused to drink a bottle of wine with me. Oh, the request of a lifesaver turned out to be so cheap. I see, my request was too much."

"you……"

Before Yugi could say anything, he lowered his hand holding the beer in frustration.

"What should I do... After all, you're not the only one who needs comfort. I have my own fresh worries, too."

He said with a look of misery,

"Those married women must have sneaked into the school. Will they find out where I live tomorrow and force me to marry them? I thought it was just a dating game, but I risked my life to win them over. And then they told me they can enter the real world. What kind of development is this, Gundam Build Divers: Resurgence? Hahaha, quite humorous..."

"..."

Yu Ji didn't know what to say for a moment.

I thought you were here to comfort me, but now it seems like you're the one who needs comforting more! You look even sadder than me, even though I'm dealing with something much heavier!

"...Okay, I'll keep you company."

Now that things have come to this, I can't just leave you here alone. It's too pitiful.

Yu Ji sighed softly, then put down the books without saying a word and sat next to him.

She pulled a can of beer from her bag and opened the can.

Click!

The library was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

The crisp sound of cans being pulled echoed among the thick columns of the library.

The two of them were silent. Yinggu lowered his head and drank silently, as if thinking about how to avoid the Shura field in the future.

And she just sat next to him and drank silently.

It went on like this for a while.

Yu Ji seemed to be unable to bear this stiff silence (it was rare for her to have such thoughts), so she simply found a topic and said:

"Even if I returned to reality, I didn't know what to do. I couldn't be happy anywhere, so I just went to the library on a whim and borrowed a bunch of books."

"Well, learn. You know how to accept sadness better than I do."

Ying Gu finished a bottle of beer in a blink of an eye and said,

"The best way to heal sadness is to learn. To learn why and how the world works. This is the only thing the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never suffer from, never fear or distrust, and never worry about regret."

"Who taught you this? Your illiterate head can't say such a thing." Yu Ji looked up, took a sip of beer, and said casually.

"Haha, Merlin said so! (Merlin in "The Eternal King")"

Ying Gu opened another bottle of beer and said,

"Of course, besides studying, it's also important to talk to others. You can write in a diary, go for a run, or even have a good cry."

"...Youngster, if you think I'm going to cry right now, you're totally wrong."

Yu Ji's delicate hands stroked the surface of the ice beer.

"I've lived for so long, I've become accustomed to this kind of separation and death countless times. Even my farewell to Lord Xiang Yu wasn't the first or second time. I've recorded this countless times in pan-human history and the Lostbelts on the Throne of Heroes."

She looked up and saw the pale moonlight in the distance.

The light, so soft that it was almost indifferent, brushed across her expressionless cheek, as if she was wearing an exquisite, cold and beautiful mask.

"Yeah,"

Yinggu looked at her soft and sad face and nodded thoughtfully.

"It's okay if you don't cry. That's great, because I don't want to waste my energy comforting a crying woman on such a beautiful night. I'd rather be comforted. Besides, if you can't empathize with someone, any words of comfort you offer won't carry much weight."

"Yes, you still have some brains, young man." Yu Ji sipped the wine that irritated her throat, "So why did you come to me again?"

"I already said I just wanted to find someone to drink with. I'm really worried."

"Stop pretending. If you were really worried, you would have been complaining non-stop instead of talking to me so quietly. You went through so much trouble, but in the end you still thought about me. You're a little too gentle. Can you really be considered human?"

"Because I have a lot of free time." He smiled.

Suddenly I recalled the heroic spirit Mochizuki, another self in the parallel world.

The heroic spirit regretted abandoning Yu Ji and leaving her to fend for herself in the singularity. He lived in regret until he was able to entrust the chance of salvation to Ying Gu.

"Senior Yu Ji, I know your life will be very painful. Maybe you have long hoped to die, but..."

The moon is bright, the willow branches are swaying,

Ying Gu turned his head, his deep blue eyes looking at her firmly and seriously, his face bathed in moonlight, revealing a gentle strength.

"...But I don't regret saving you at all, because I want to spend a lot of time with you in the future. The annual Guda Guda, Elizabeth's Halloween, the summer Servant Festival, school trips, New Year's, and many other interesting activities, I want to invite you to participate."

Yu Ji slightly widened her ruby-like eyes.

It seems like I can see stars.

"I imposed my good intentions on you, and it was I who brought you out of the singularity, so if you have any dissatisfaction or troubles in the future, you can come to me. I am still willing to provide this after-sales service."

Ying Gu picked up the beer bag, stood up, and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Well, your social patience must be reaching its limit. I'll be leaving now. You have to live well, Yu Ji, and don't make yourself too miserable."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a slender, white hand grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.

He couldn't help but be startled.

It seemed as if a girl had rested her forehead on his back.

Her black hair hung down, covering her cheeks and hiding her mood, making it impossible to see the expression on her face at the moment.

"...Since you've said that, don't blame me for being so reliant on you from now on. Even if I use you as an errand boy, you wouldn't mind, right?"

She leaned against his back and spoke in an almost inaudible voice.

It seems that a faint cry can be heard.

"...Okay." Yinggu nodded.

"Really? You also know how willful your kindness is. Junior, I have a lot of bitterness to pour out. Hurry up and sit down and drink with me for a while."

"Well, I'll listen to your complaints."

"You said it, junior. I will complain to you until I die."

"Well, I'll accompany you too."

You felt the deep affection and dependence from Assassin Yu Ji.

[Your skill "Breath Block" has been upgraded to rank B.]

[…Although it may be a little late now, you have indeed completed that love game.]

On May 5th, you sat on the steps with Yu Ji, drinking all night long. You spent a long time together, sharing your troubles, sorrows, joys, and unforgettable experiences under the moonlight.

[5 month 16 day]

[You rescued Yu Ji and stopped the conspiracy of the Killing House.]

You return to your normal school life.
