The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

Looking at the baseball flying high into the sky, Wu also showed a satisfied smile. He threw away the bat, opened his arms towards the sky, and started running on the field, spanning first base, second base and third base all the way. finally--

Won……

……

... It's strange.

"Thank you for your advice!"

After the game, the players from both sides bowed to each other, and Wu Ye looked at the score tie with a subtle smile on his lips.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1

The last effort was the change from 0 to 1. After all, they still failed miserably, but... for some reason, he didn't feel too disappointed.

Rather, he was already happy to see Senior Youxiang's surprised expression at the end.

However, it seems that he is the only one who is happy...

"Why do you look like you've won, Wu~ya~" Yakumo Zi's gloomy voice appeared behind him, and Wu also felt cold sweat all over his body.

"Zi, Zi...?" Wu Ye wanted to escape, but found that it was already too late.

"Hey, as we said, if you lose, you have to accept the punishment of heaven." Zi smiled and stretched out his hand to Wu Ye, that smile was full of frightening kindness.

"Hey, hey, don't force yourself to add drama, you obviously didn't say it!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Take the move! Wu Ye!"

"Don't come here!"

Struggling to escape Yakumo Zi's punishment, Wu accidentally bumped his head into someone else's body, and when he looked up, it was Youxiang.

Seeing the expressionless expression on the other side's face, Wu Ye was still a little flustered.

"Uh, sorry."

Wu Ye, who originally apologized and wanted to leave, suddenly found that the other party seemed to have something to say, so he bit the bullet and asked, "Well, Senior Youxiang, is there anything else you want?"

"...Really, although I don't want to admit it, but, yes..."

Youxiang's icy expression melted away little by little, she slightly bent her mouth, and stretched out her hand to Wu Ye: "You are too weak."

"..." Wu Ye's face turned dark immediately, did this guy come here specially to mock him?

"but--"

Youxiang changed the subject and said unexpected words: "The last ball was played beautifully, Wu Ye."

"Eh?" Wu Ye was stunned.

Does this count as recognition?

He looked down at Senior Youxiang's hand stretched out to him, the surroundings were already full of people, some from his side, some from Senior Youxiang's side, and many more people who came to watch the game.

Everyone surrounded him and Senior Youxiang, as if they were expecting his response.

Wu Ye slowly raised his hand, but stopped in mid-air at the last moment.

That's probably what happiness feels like.

Being expected by everyone, then responding to everyone's expectations, and being surrounded by such gentle eyes.

No one can cry, no one can smile, no one can choose a happy life, no more sacrifice, no more bloodshed, no more nightmare future.

Welcoming every sunrise in anticipation, sending away every sunset in satisfaction, a fulfilling life, eternal fetters, let laughter pervade every corner of daily life.

Ah, how happy, if this is my life, if this is my future, no matter how many times, I will definitely choose to grab it.

Yes, I can have everything I've ever dreamed of just by holding that hand, but...

But ah-

"Can I really enjoy such a happy time like this?"

Wu Ye raised his head, facing everyone's puzzled eyes, slowly, his smile revealed bitterness full of scars: "It's too dazzling, the world you live in is too dazzling to me. .”

As if he was worried that tears would fall uncontrollably, Wu also tried his best to expand his smile: "The happiness that is taken for granted for you is a miracle that I can't touch even if I try my best. Pretending that I have lost my memory , to pretend that you have never stepped into darkness, so that you can be happy?"

"Isn't that too cunning?"

Wu Ye lowered his head, and his low self-talk was like a whine: "Sacrificing five people to make the other five people happy is the minimum I can accept. If I want to make one person happy, I have to sacrifice the remaining nine people. In any case it is unacceptable."

"I've been escaping all the time, every time I'm escaping, but I'm like this, at the end, I also want to face it seriously, ah, it should be said that I have to face it."

"Onee-sama, Reimu, Sakuya, Seimei, Zi...and you, I've already made an appointment with you."

"I'm actually a terrible coward. I'm more afraid of breaking the agreement with you than the various troubles I will encounter along the way. Therefore, I must continue walking."

"At this point, I have no way to turn back, can you understand, Yuko?"

When he raised his head again, there was no one around.

Under the bloody sunset full of ominous meaning, Wu Ye stood alone in the empty playground. In the audience auditorium in the distance, Yuko who had removed the disguise named "Yuyuko" let out a deep sigh sigh.
