After the favorability rating was 99, I gave up the tour

When the setting sun dazzled the sea surface with brilliant warm light, Higurashi Jieyue was sitting on a bench on the seashore, taking stock of the harvest of his trip.

Yes, harvest.

It is very unbelievable that when Higurashi Jieyue severed her "fate" with Chuya Nakahara, this broken relationship actually fed back to her strength!

——It’s almost like a game reward!

At this point, Higurashi Jieyue is more and more sure that the conversation he heard when using the "Time Dial" last night is the truth of the game "Covenant of Destiny".

Regarding the weird game "Covenant of Destiny", Yuki Higurashi has made many, many guesses.At the very beginning, she once guessed whether this game was left for her by her mother, Tsukino Mao. The purpose was to leave enough character ability models for her who inherited the supernatural ability "Number One Player" for her to use. It is used repeatedly in critical situations, and the proof of this argument is the character card formed in the "Top Player" ability illustration area.

——She can use these character cards to load the abilities of related characters and copy their power for her own use.

And she really relied on this power to fight against Onimai Tsuji and Yakumohara, and saved her life.

But later, Higurashi Jieyue overturned this idea, because the world where she is now [Channel 5: Modern Times - Book of Abilities] is a new channel that was not established until recently, and even many characters who have appeared in the game The corresponding world is a different world where no passage has been successfully established so far, so of course her mother Tsukino Mao has never been there.Since her mother has never been to those worlds or met those people, how did they appear in the game "Covenant of Destiny"?

So this game must not have been written by my mother.

But, who else but the mother would leave behind such a quirky game of uncanny power?

It wasn't until last night that she heard the unexpected conversation that Higurashi Jieyue finally understood: it turned out that this was a "game" left to her by her future self.

This also starts with the power of the time dial.

The function of the "time dial" ability is very simple and straightforward. It is the ability to travel back and forth in the linear river of time.When its ability is only developed to 5%, Higurashi Jieyue can only use this ability to see the scene within ten years before and after the time point where he is, and cannot formally travel through time, nor can he make any interference with the past or the future—— Until here, this ability is enough for people to understand smoothly.

But when her ability to run the "time dial" was overloaded, that is, after she dialed the scale of the time dial for ten years last night, a mutation occurred in this ability: it did not bring her to ten years. Instead of the future that belonged to her, she brought the memory of the original future, or in other words, brought her to the memory of her "future self"!

This is a very confusing statement.

For the 35-year-old Yutsuki Higurashi, the self at the age of 25 is the "past"; while for the 15-year-old Yutsuki Higurashi, the self at the age of 25 is the "future".Therefore, when the 15-year-old self at the end of the day and the moon are taken as the time node, no matter whether I am 25 or 35 years old, I am the "future". Say, isn't it all "future"?

Yes, that's the theory.

But what if something changes?

If at a certain critical point in time, a key factor is changed, then two completely different world lines develop.So at this time, the 35-year-old Yutsuki Higurashi on world line a, the 25-year-old herself she recalled, is the future that the 15-year-old Yutsuki Higurashi on world line b can reach at this moment?

Of course not.

So last night, when Higurashi Yuzuki heard the familiar conversation between "myself" and Sawada Tsunayoshi, after hearing "mother's advice" and some key information, she already understood: the "future" she arrived in , does not belong to her "future".

——That belongs to another future where the sun sets and the moon ends.A future that should have belonged to her without being disturbed.

In that future, her family and friends were all by her side, and none of them left.She has never lost anything, so she also has a good personality, she never smiles miserly, and never looks withdrawn and weird, let alone stay in a rented house during the New Year, and even play games for three days. No one will disturb...everything is as beautiful as a dream, and the sun and the moon can't help but feel a little jealous and envious of this "self".

However, at the age of 25, for some unknown reason, such a "sunset and moon" agreed to Bai Lan, who obviously had a ghost in his heart, and played a game with him.She traveled through various time points in various different worlds, and invited some friends such as Chuya Nakahara, Osamu Dazai, Enichi Ji Kuni, Kiya Hiddenke, Sasuke Uchiha, etc., to play this game together.

Higurashi Jieyue doesn’t know what happened after that, nor does he know what the original purpose of this game is, let alone how it is presented, but at least on the bright side, Higurashi Jieyue can be sure that the “future” What I am playing with these friends is definitely not an otome-oriented love strategy game!

But unfortunately, when this game finally traveled through time and fell into her hands, it was indeed presented in the form of a love game, and it even affected real people, making these friends who should have established bonds in the "future" Becoming the "now" virtual lover, making her a scumbag with [-] boats on her feet...

The sunset and the moon almost made me want to cry.

——what are you doing!

Just playing a game, why did it become like this? !This is too maddening, right? ! !

And is the "behind the scenes" of this game his future self? !So it was "myself" who cheated "myself"? !

But she is obviously not in the same world line as that "sunset and moon", not even at the same time point, why should she pay for another decision of her own? ! !

And how did this game become a strategy game! ! !

Bai Lan who proposed to play this game, you must have messed up something, right? ! !

As soon as Higurashi Jieyue thought of her thirteen unsavory relationships, and thought of the event that she only planned to play games with her friends but turned her friends into "lovers", she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe.

Woooooo... Bastard eggplant!

You bastard and troublemaker! !

asshole! ! !

woo woo woo...

However, in short, since "Covenant of Destiny" was a game at the beginning, then of course it should also have the "positive feedback" that the game should have.

Sunset Jieyue didn't know how the game's initial "positive feedback" was set, but in short, after the game was distorted, if she wanted to get the game's "positive feedback", then there was only one way - to cut off the "positive feedback" of the game. These Raiders "fate" of the hero.

She once cut off her "fate" with Bai Lan.

But this big devil-like guy quickly connected himself, which made her action fail, so she didn't get this "positive feedback".

But later, when Higurashi Yuzuki cut off her "fate" with Nuliang Rikusheng, she gained "positive feedback", which is the ability of "time dial"!

And when she cut off her "fate" with Chuya Zhongyuan, the degree of development of this power increased from 5% to 20%, making Higurashi Jieyue experience the pleasure of krypton gold upgrade... So this is distorted The ultimate goal of this game is for her to sever her ties with these people? ?

fff group? ?

At dusk and with the moon, the heart is tired and the forehead is tired.

However, driven by reward and shame, Higurashi Yuyue is still very enthusiastic about cutting off the "fate".After all, for game nerds, the beauties in the game are the best beauties, and if the two-dimensional becomes three-dimensional... just forget it.

Higurashi Yuyue clapped his hands, sorted out his thoughts, and excitedly prepared to return to the present world to find the two great beauties, Xinghei and Yukimura.

But before that, a certain big cat passing by found her again.

"Huh? Miss Jing, are you here alone? Are you in any trouble?"

Rimu Jieyue looked up and saw a cute face under the slanted bangs.

Sunset and Moon: "..."

This scene looks familiar, where did I see it? ?

"Good evening, Dunjun." Higurashi Jieyue greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see, how are you?"

The sun and the moon were only meant to be a few polite words, but they didn't expect that a certain big cat's eyes lit up, and it meant that it wanted to reminisce about the past, so he sat on the bench beside her and began to talk to her endlessly, Feiyang's expression is actually a little cute.

Atsushi Nakajima: "Miss Mirror, did you know that a lot of strange people came to Yokohama some time ago, thanks to the great power of the Central Plains cadres, we drove these strange guys out of Yokohama...Of course, we need to thank you most It’s still Dazai-sama, Dazai-sama is really amazing balabalabala..."

Higurashi Jieyue nodded with a smile.

Atsushi Nakajima: "Miss Mirror, I still don't have a clue about what you told me about the 'Heart of the Strong', but I have fully understood the theory of 'Guardian'! What Miss Mirror said is indeed That's right, nothing is perfect in the world, I can't protect everyone, I can't satisfy everyone, but at least I can protect what I care about... Even if it means hurting others... I still hate it Hurt others, but as long as I think it's for 'protection', I won't feel pain anymore, Ms. Kagami is really a very powerful person, just like Dazai-sama! By the way, Dazai-sama told me balabalabala before... ..."

Higurashi Jieyue's smile drifted a bit.

Atsushi Nakajima: "Ah! And! Ms. Mirror, do you know that Mr. Dazai recently balabalabala..."

He looked back at Atsushi Nakajima with admiration, and almost thought he saw a fanatic fan of a certain star:

Seriously, this guy is too much like Du Wei, right?How can you talk about Osamu Dazai in just a few words?

Although she understands Osamu Dazai's status as both a teacher and a friend in this big cat's heart... But every time she opens her mouth, she can abduct Osamu Dazai, this habit is really terrible, right? ! !

Sober up, Dunjun! !

Higurashi Jieyue concealed his shocked heart with a skilled smile.

"...By the way, Ms. Kagami, have you seen Mr. Dazai recently?"

Suddenly, Atsushi Nakajima asked, with a worried look on his face.

Himu Jieyue finally came back from the fugue: "What's wrong?"

Atsushi Nakajima said, "Recently... I'm a little uneasy..."

……

Ten minutes later, Higurashi Jieyue was holding a plain paper umbrella and standing downstairs in the Hong Kong and Hei headquarters.

She looked at the many guards downstairs in the headquarters of Hong Kong and Black, and just about to take out her mobile phone to contact Dazai Osamu, one of these guards in black suits had already greeted her.

"Miss Yue Ye, are you here to find the leader? Please come in."

"……Eh?"

"The leader said that as long as you come, you can go up to him at any time."

"...That's it."

With complicated emotions, Higurashi Jieyue arrived at the top office unimpeded all the way.

In front of her, the door of the office was already open, and a thin figure was sitting behind the desk smiling at her.

Higurashi Jieyue hesitated for a while, and finally stepped into the door.

She stared at the pale Dazai Osamu, at this moment she saw the fate between her and Dazai Osamu.

This is natural, because Osamu Dazai was originally one of the "raiders", and he also had a bond with her, so it is normal to have a "fate" with her.

But what surprised Higurashi and Yuki herself was that she had already come to Yokohama, and she came here with the intention of cutting off the "fate" that she shouldn't have... But she didn't expect to be with Osamu Dazai at all. This relationship also needs her to cut off.

She thought of Yukimura Seichi, thought of Yukihira Soshin, and even thought about whether to go to the world where there are ghosts and dances Tsuji no misery ahead of time, so as to go back in time to find Ji Guoyuan, but she never thought about this relationship.

why?

Sunset and Jieyue didn't understand.

Behind her, the door slowly closed.

When the last breath of wind from the outside world was blocked by the office door, Osamu Dazai finally spoke in a soft and weak voice: "Miss Jing suddenly thought of me today, do you need me for anything?"

Higurashi Jieyue held onto the handle of the umbrella with some hesitation, not knowing whether to ask about Atsushi Nakajima's worries, or about this "fate".

If it is the former, then she should care about Osamu Dazai at this moment, and ask him why he has been thin and haggard all the way, even to the point where Atsushi Nakajima worried—According to Atsushi Nakajima, Osamu Dazai began to lose weight from the first three months. I lost weight.Although there is no difference in dealing with affairs and subordinates as usual, and the aura on his body is as scary as usual, but the speed of losing weight is really too scary!

And if it was the latter, she wanted to know why the future Osamu Dazai would agree to the game invitation of "Sunset and Moon".At first, when Higurashi Yuzuki learned the truth about Dazai Osamu, she didn't feel guilty about Dazai Osamu, who was a "target" in name but actually a troublesome and smart guy. When she understood that the initiator of this game was "Sunset Yuyue", and she also got the consent of the "target" himself, she felt something was wrong.

——Some people will agree to play games because he likes to play games himself, such as Qi Ya, such as Aomine; while some people will agree to play games because he has a good personality or out of Friendship did not refuse, such as Xingping, such as Sasuke.

But what is Osamu Dazai for?

He has no preference for games, has a bad personality and will not sympathize with anyone, and as for "friendship"... sorry, it is really hard to imagine that this man has the emotion of "friendship" towards her.

So, why did he agree to this game?

Sunset Jieyue didn't understand...but she didn't really understand nothing.

She actually had some guesses, but she couldn't believe it, let alone touch and cross this boundary.

So, in the end, when Osamu Dazai stared at her with a smile, she hesitated between two questions, and finally asked a question that she didn't even know why she asked:

"Mr. Dazai, have you ever regretted it?"

There was a momentary silence in the air.

Sunset Jieyue was a little annoyed, feeling that his question was really inappropriate.

But soon, Osamu Dazai's voice sounded.

"Yep."

"Huh? Really?" Higurashi Jieyue was surprised when he got the answer.

Not only was she surprised that Osamu Dazai answered her, but she was even more surprised by the answer.

"Did Mr. Dazai ever regret it?"

Osamu Dazai smiled, and his voice was so calm that it was weird: "Miss Jing, you think too highly of me. Of course I regretted it, or my life was spent amidst countless hesitation and regret."

Dazai Osamu's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

But the intuition of the sun and the moon still made her realize that she should have touched the secret world that only belonged to Osamu Dazai that she should not have touched.

From the point of view of politeness and intuition, she should stop here, just like paying special attention not to open the ghost animal branch of the ghost animal character in the game... But curiosity killed the cat.

So Higurashi Jieyue only hesitated and weighed for three seconds, and was overcome by the curiosity of giving up.

"Why would Mr. Dazai say that? Mr. Dazai is so smart, he doesn't seem like someone who would make wrong choices, let alone someone who would immerse himself in regrets!"

How could someone as smart as Osamu Dazai let himself regret it?

Sunset and Moon cannot understand.

Osamu Dazai seemed a little funny, like listening to the moon asking why the shadow refused to appear in the light.

He wanted to keep silent, to end the conversation, like so many times before.

But in the end, the unwillingness in his heart prevailed.

"Miss Jing, the emotion of regret is not as straight-forward and simple as you think... Many times, people not only regret because they made wrong choices, but sometimes they also regret because they made right choices. Regret for my choice." He showed a weak and pale smile to Sunset Jieyue, and the emotions in his iris-colored pupils were difficult to distinguish, "And this is also human nature!"

"……Eh?!"

"Miss Jing doesn't understand? Then let me tell a story to Miss Jing."
