[Soul of Chess] What if

Ah Guang didn't expect that there were other people besides Sangu outside the door, so he was really surprised by this figure that suddenly broke into his sight. After he saw the person coming, his expression unconsciously became complicated.

"……Hi."

The cover was suddenly lost, and the opponent's body stiffened obviously. After meeting Ah Guang's sight, the visitor stretched out his hand and greeted him embarrassingly.

Regarding the other party's series of actions, Ah Guang just watched silently with his lips pursed.

It's not that Aguang is rude.Just imagine, when someone you haven't contacted for a long time and who has had an unpleasant experience before suddenly appears in front of you, how many people can greet you with a smile without any grudges?At least Ah Guang couldn't do it.

Therefore, it wasn't until the other party's hand was about to be withdrawn that he reluctantly responded with the corner of his mouth, and then he didn't say anything else, so the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Sangu coughed lightly, and said after Ah Guang looked over: "Since the things have been delivered, I'll go back first?"

As he spoke, he turned his body slightly and made a gesture to leave.However, Sangu pointed at the visitor at a place where the visitor couldn't notice, and asked A Guang with his eyes if he needed help.

Ah Guang shook his head imperceptibly, and then said briskly: "Well, okay. Thank you so much today!"

"You're welcome~ If you need something, call me." Sangu waved his hand casually, then turned and left.

After Sangu's figure completely disappeared around the corner, Ah Guang looked at the person in front of him.

"...Why are you here?" After hesitating for a while, he finally said this.

"Uh... I'm here to return the game cassette I borrowed from you last time." He Gu took out a paper bag from behind, and while handing it over, he rubbed his hair in embarrassment.

"Oh." Ah Guang simply responded.After speaking, he felt that such an answer was inappropriate. After all, the other party came here on purpose. After thinking about it, he added, "Actually, there is no need to pay it back in such a hurry. Anyway, I won't need it in the near future."

As soon as his voice fell, the other party quickly said: "Ah, it's okay, I've already used up."

After hearing this, Ah Guang no longer refused, but stretched out his hand to take it.However, as soon as he took the paper bag in his hand, he couldn't help but "huh" in his heart, because he always felt that the paper bag was heavier than before.In order to confirm whether this was his illusion, he decided to open the paper bag and have a look.

"Can you open it?" Before opening it, he raised his eyes and asked.

"Ah...um." Upon hearing his question, Hegu's expression flustered for a moment, but he still agreed.

After getting the other party's consent, Ah Guang opened the paper bag, and found that there were actually two game cassettes inside.

"Ok?"

He curiously took out the contents of the bag. It turned out that besides his own "Ocarina of Time", there was another cassette with the words "Majra's Mask" written on it.

"He Gu, you must have misplaced this by accident, right?" He asked holding up the unopened box.

Hearing this question from myself, the other party's expression became more reserved.After hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage to say: "I didn't pretend to be wrong, that one is for you. As... um... as an apology for what happened before."

"Apologize?" Ah Guang was a little confused at first, but seeing He Gu's uneasy look, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

He looked down at the words on the cover again.If I remember correctly, I talked with Gu and Komiya about this game during the student research day last month. At that time, the two seemed to have agreed to buy it on the 27th of this month, and the release date of the game was also on that day.Today is the 28th, that is to say, this is the game that He Gu just started yesterday.

Aguang also had the experience of queuing up early in the morning to wait for the game to be released, so he knew exactly how hard and torturous this process was.Now, He Gu wants to give himself the cassette that he finally got.

Not to mention the price of the game, this intention alone is enough to reflect the sincerity of the other party.

In fact, Aguang knew very well that the reason why He Gu was obsessed with exploring whether he was sai was because the process of revealing the secret was exciting and fun, not because he really wanted to do anything that was not good for him.

However, even though there was no malice, this kind of behavior still made Ah Guang very disgusted.

On the one hand, it’s because he doesn’t like others to explore too much what he doesn’t want others to know. On the other hand, due to Zuo Wei’s particularity, once his relationship with Sai is discovered, Zuo Wei is likely to Encountered danger, and may even disappear because of it.

After all, no one can be sure whether those exorcism spells really have no effect.

That's why Ah Guang is usually so cautious, in order to reduce the chance of his relationship with Sai being discovered by others as much as possible.

However, perhaps because of my insufficient cultivation, several people have more or less realized that they are related to Sai, such as Taya, Taya's father, Kazuya, and Mr. Ogata, And Dad and Mitani who knew about it because of their own voluntary admission.

In addition to these, there may be other people who already know their secrets but they are not aware of them at all.Thinking of this, Ah Guang couldn't help but sighed.

Looking at He Gu's uneasy appearance, Ah Guang felt a little speechless.

There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive in this matter, because it can be said that it has touched its bottom line.Therefore, even if He Gu sincerely apologized now, Ah Guang couldn't easily say "it's okay", and then the two continued to get along happily like they did at the beginning as if nothing happened.Unless it's faking.

Perhaps, with the passage of time, this gap will gradually fade away, and it may even disappear completely, and then the two people will naturally return to their previous relationship.But, at least for now, that gully still exists clearly.

"Hegu, I'm sorry..." Looking at Hegu's eyes that were a little dim because of his own words, although he couldn't bear it, Ah Guang still had to speak ruthlessly, "I know you don't mean anything malicious, but I may still It will take some more time, so I have no way to accept this."

After speaking, Ah Guang put the new cassette back into the bag, and handed it to He Gu.

He Gu quietly stared at the paper bag in Ah Guang's hand, and after a long time, he finally reached out to take it silently, and then the two stood there relatively speechless.

"Then... let's do this first?" After a while, Ah Guang, who couldn't stand the weird atmosphere, spoke first.

"Yeah." He Gu nodded in a daze, then turned and left.

However, as soon as he turned around and walked outside a few steps, he turned back again.Seeing his move, Ah Guang asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Well... I know that you usually have almost a rest time, so more than a year has passed and you still haven't had time to play this game, and you haven't even opened the package."

Although he didn't quite understand why Hegu said this, Aguang still listened patiently.After a pause, the other party continued with some embarrassment: "Well... since you have played the first four games, if you haven't played this one, I think you will always feel it is a pity? So I cleared this game again yesterday. , and saved the customs clearance records.”

"Ah, don't worry, the location of my archive is not the default place of the system, so even if you want to play by yourself one day, it will not affect you at all. Even if you don't have time to play, it should be interesting to go through the plot along my archive, I thought so……"

Hearing these long-winded words, Ah Guang couldn't help softening his expression a lot. He looked at He Gu and said sincerely, "Thank you, He Gu."

"No...it's nothing. Then I'll—" Just halfway through speaking, Kazuya stared straight behind Ah Guang with his eyes wide open as if frightened, "Xu... Teacher Ogata?!!"

Ah Guang turned his head abruptly, and saw Ogata standing at the entrance, looking in this direction with an unpredictable expression.

Oops!I don't know how much he listened to the conversation just now!Ah Guang's heart suddenly tensed up.He quickly reviewed the entire conversation just now. Although there seemed to be no words that were obviously related to Sai, he could not relax his vigilance because no one knew whether Ogata would speculate from the words that seemed to have nothing to do with it. What came out.

Really, I was too careless to forget about this person!He couldn't help being annoyed.

Just as he was beating his chest and feet regretting in his heart, he heard Ogata say in a slightly raised tone: "'More than a year has passed and I still haven't had time to play this game', well, I don't like the 'still' in this sentence. This word is very interesting, does anyone of you want to explain it to me?"
