During this short moment of rest, Higurashi Jieyue had a dream.

She clearly knows that she is dreaming, because as a demon, she has already learned to distinguish between true and false, and can even control every cell in her body when necessary, so she also clearly knows that she is only dreaming That's all.

It's just that she doesn't want to wake up.

Because in this dream, she saw her mother—Mao Higurashi again.

Or called Tsukino Mao.

In Higurashi Yuki's memory, her mother Tsukino Mao is the gentlest, most beautiful, wisest, and strongest person in the world.This "female" supported her entire childhood and completely shaped her personality, so the person she cares most about is also Tsukino Mao, of course.

But during the three years when his mother disappeared, Rimu Jieyue never dreamed of her.

Ordinary people say that there are thoughts by day and dreams by night, but when this sentence is completely useless in relation to the incidents related to "Mao Tsukino", it seems that the disappearance wiped out everything about "Mao Tsukino" from the root. Except, apart from "Dayset and Moon", "Tsukino Mao" has nothing left.

Today, however, Higurashi Jieyue dreamed of her.

At this time, in the dream, it was a very ordinary afternoon.

The ten-year-old Higurashi Yuzuki and Tsukino Mao sat in front of a super-large and ultra-clear screen, playing a very popular online fighting game, and the character "manipulated" by the latter was using a set of combo punches to beat Higurashi Yuzuki to death. The characters of the month are so beaten that they can't take care of themselves.

Since he was a child, Higurashi Jieyue, who has been very unwilling to admit defeat in the game, has repeatedly fought and lost repeatedly, and has played so well that he almost balds his hair, but he keeps shouting "Do it again"!

Tsukino Mao didn't persuade her, he was kind and gentle, and savagely ko'd his own daughter 130 times with a gentle smile. When Higurashi Yuki was about to usher in his 130th gameover, Tsukino Mao put forward a new suggestion: Do you want to try playing Otome games?

The young Higurashi Yuyue didn't have much interest in pure dialogue games like Otome games, but since her mother suggested it, she didn't mind giving it a try.

So she took the initiative to come to the game cabinet she was in charge of sorting out, found the "Otome Games" area with ease, and took out a game card box.

"Play this?" Higurashi Jieyue asked curiously.

Higurashi Jieyue glanced at it casually, and found that the game style of "Evil Moon and Curse" randomly selected by him was very old, and it was roughly estimated that the release time should be ten years ago.Generally speaking, a little bastard who loves the new and dislikes the old in terms of games will not be interested in this kind of game, but before Sunset and Jieyue put the game back, a new discovery made her suddenly interested.

"Huh?! Mom, look, look, this person looks a bit like you!" Higurashi Yuzuki excitedly pointed at the heroine on the outer packaging of the game cartridge, and said in amazement, "And her name is also Maoya! Wow! Incredible ! How did I not discover this game before??"

Tsukino Mao glanced at the game lightly, and the corners of his lips curled up: "That's your Aunt Kagome's game."

"Huh? Is that so?"

"And this game is also broken, and it can no longer be played."

"Is that so?" Ri Mu Jieyue opened the box and looked at the cassette, and asked strangely, "Is it not broken?"

Tsukino Mao took the game cartridge with a smile and stuffed it into the game console.

Soon, the game begins.

[Crazy Moon, Cursed Evil]

[On the isolated island overseas, the Tsukino family, ordered by the gods to guard the cursed moon, has held a rope-breaking ceremony for generations to seal the moon]

[The content of the ceremony is to tie the limbs and head of the witch with hemp rope, tear the body with a wheel, and then seal the [well] that can reflect the cursed moon with a rope soaked in the witch's blood, so as to gain the ability to peek into fate ]

[As a rare person who has heard of [Cursed Moon], you are invited to the isolated island to witness the ceremony]

[But when you came to the isolated island, you found out that the Yueye clan was burned in a strange fire three days ago. The only survivor was a dying 15-year-old girl, who was supposed to be dedicated to the contemporary Yueye clan. Miko to the gods]

[You hate the man-eating legends of ghosts and ghosts, and you pity the miserable and rough fate of this weak girl in front of you, so you make up your mind to save her]

['May I have your name? ' you ask her. ]

[She raised her eyes to look at you, the bloody moon reflected in her beautiful eyes]

['I am……']

zizi——

Suddenly, the supposedly clear screen seemed to be disturbed by some strong interference, shaking and distorting, blurring the face of the heroine, only the bloody full moon reflected in her eyes was exceptionally clear, blooming faint brilliance. Like staring at someone off-screen.

["I am Moon..."]

zizi——

Snapped--

The game screen suddenly went black.

Sunset and Moon were taken aback.

But Tsukino Mao seemed to have expected it, and calmly took out the cassette before the game console burned out.

"Look, I said it was broken." With a smile in her soft voice, she handed the cassette to her daughter.

Higurashi Jieyue scratched his head, didn't care, put the cassette back casually, and muttered: "So Aunt Kagome also liked this kind of game before?"

"Of course. Girls, of course they like to get the attention of handsome guys~" Mao Ye said with a smile, "If all good-looking men can only see me and only like me, then that's fine That's it—don't most adolescent girls think so?!"

Sunset Jieyue: "Not really...Mom, please control your dark thoughts a little bit, I'm only ten years old."

Tsukino Mao smiled and said, "What's wrong with being ten years old? My Xiaojieyue is so beautiful, there will definitely be many boys who like you in the future, so get used to this kind of "fascinating" life early!"

The sun set and the moon troubled and hugged his head: "What kind of "fantasy"! I don't want it! It's a waste of my time playing games!!"

Tsukino Mao couldn't help laughing, pinched his daughter's little face affectionately, and said: "Xiaojie Yue grew up and became more and more confused, and she was just like a gentleman... Huh, when you were young, you told your mother that you wanted many, many fathers to accompany you." Let's go to the sea together!"

Higurashi Jieyue blushed instantly, and protested angrily: "I was only five years old at that time!! I was five years old!! How can a child's words be taken seriously?!!"

Tsukino Shino smiled and said: "Then you don't have to take it seriously when you play games! Let me tell you, men are super stupid, and if you want to manipulate them, sometimes all you need is a look. And Although these old games have old-fashioned plots and old-fashioned settings, the game characters are more stupid and more playful! Come, come, Xiao Jieyue, let's see mom teach you how to open a harem!"

Sunset and Moon: "..."

Don't come here! !

Higurashi Jieyue panicked and quickly waved his hands: "I don't want to pull! I don't want to do this kind of thing that plays with other people's feelings! Don't! Absolutely not!!"

Tsukino Mao looked at her curiously: "This is just a game character, Xiaojieyue. They are all paper figures, how can there be such a thing as playing with emotions?"

Higurashi Jieyue blushed a little, but said seriously: "But if you want to attack them seriously, you will definitely invest in your feelings, right? Once you have invested in them, they are not just paper people to me! In this way If so, how can I play the harem line, so that all of them only like me, but I can't give the same return? No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

Tsukino Mao stared at her face, a little dazed.

Her expression was very strange, the eyes that stared at the sun and the moon were like looking at someone else through her. "Really...Xiao Jieyue is just a child, but she is so serious and gentle..." Her hand lightly brushed the steel-grey pupils of Rimu Jieyue, and said softly, "Obviously my mother also I've never taught you this before, I didn't expect it to be..."

At this moment, Tsukino Mao's hand covered her eyes, so that Higurashi Yuyue could not see her expression, only her voice was as gentle as ever: "It really is exactly the same..."

"The same stupid idiot."

"But mom, I like fools like this the most."

At that time, Higurashi Yuzuki did not understand the words of Tsukino Mao, but the emotions conveyed to her made her seem to understand something when she was young.

But soon, Tsukino Mao took his hand away.So that ever smiling face was once again reflected in Higurashi Jieyue's eyes.

"Xiao Jieyue, my mother asks you, if one day the paper man you have conquered suddenly comes to reality, what will you do?" Tsukino Mao's questions always have her own evil taste.

It's not good to hear that the sun is setting and the moon is shining.

"This...this...should...not be possible??" Ri Mu Jieyue stammered.

"Yes." Tsukino Mao put on a sad face, nodded and said, "I will."

"No way!!!"

Tsukino Shino smiled and said: "Then what if? If Xiaojieyue's harem comes to reality, what will Xiaojieyue do? Let me remind you that these are all beauties. If Xiaojieyue wants to open a harem, mother can I will teach you a few tricks so that you will never overturn!"

Sunset Jieyue: "..." That's too bad!Where is the mother who encourages her pure daughter to step on n boats?This bad mother should be stuffed into the trash can!

Higurashi Jieyue took a deep breath: "First of all, I will never play the harem line! Absolutely impossible!"

Tsukino Mao whispered: "You played, you played, you played..."

"I hate it! Mom don't talk!! Listen to me!!" Higurashi Jieyue was indignant.

"Okay, tell me what you say."

Rimu Jieyue held his head high and held his chest high: "If there is such a day, then the answer is very simple - just send them all back!"

"It's not okay to be lazy." Tsukino Mao made a cross.

Higurashi Jieyue complained: "Why not?!"

"Anyway, keep thinking!" The bad mother poked her daughter's head with a smile.

Hi Mu Jieyue puffed up his face and thought: "Then...then...then cut off the fate and make them forget me completely!"

Tsukino Mao blinked: "Why? Doesn't Xiaojieyue like them? But Xiaojieyue said that she has given her sincerity to the target of the strategy?"

Higurashi Jieyue complained: "Because people who appeared in my world with a false attitude from the beginning, of course I will not take them as real! Sincerity also has a limit! I am very sorry for this kind of paper that suddenly appeared The favorability of filmmakers can only reach 60 at most, which is the level of ordinary friends. It can't be more!"

Tsukino Mao thought for a while and said, "But what if that paper man is pitiful? What if he has nothing but you? Will Xiaojie Yue feel pity for him?"

Rimu Jieyue said firmly: "I will pity him, but I don't like the feeling of pity! I won't be with others just because of pity!"

Tsukino Mao asked curiously: "Really? But if that person is really very, very poor, very, very good-looking, makes you feel very, very sympathetic to him, and even wants to save him after losing everything... such a person, you don't want to Will you like it?"

Sunset and Moon were stunned.

"This..." She was a little stuck and confused, "But... this kind of performance... isn't it just that I like it?"

Tsukino Mao laughed, "I don't know."

"Because, people's emotions are very complicated. Only you know what Xiaojieyue is thinking." Tsukino Mao's smile became mysterious, and she leaned slightly towards Higurashi Yuzuki, and tapped her nose, "And at that time, Xiao Jieyue will meet several other people."

"One of them is like air, seemingly non-existent, but everywhere. He will always be by your side, and his long-term company will be his confession to you."

"The second person is like the sky. He can contain everything about you, become the anchor of your real world, and also become the sun that lends light to the moon for you."

"And the last one is that very beautiful and very pitiful shadow that only you can save and illuminate, a poor stray cat..."

"Ah, by the way, there is one more... Maybe he can be counted as one."

"He is your best playmate, the most arrogant brat, and the stupidest gambler... He should have been just a passer-by, wandering forever between 'existence' and 'non-existence', but if you Call his name and he will come back for you..."

"They are all part of your 'future' and will form a deep bond with you."

"So when they appear in front of you at the same time, you need Xiao Jieyue to distinguish—"

"—to discern your sincerity, and to discern the person you really like."

"So Xiaojieyue, who do you really like?" Tsukino Mao secretly bewitched, "Who do you want to choose? Or catch them all? How about it?"

Tsukino Mao watched the excitement with a smile that was not a big deal, close at hand.

Sunset and Moon pushed her away with black lines all over her head.

"Please allow me to solemnly refuse!"

·

In the end, Rimu Jieyue was woken up by his bad mother.

When she woke up from the dream, the first thing she did was to knock her head on the table: why? !Why did she even dream about the time when her mother tempted her to open the harem? ?

This stinky mother really wholeheartedly raised her to be a scumbag... No, no!She just wanted to watch her liveliness!

hateful!

Wouldn't it be nice to dream about something else? ?

Sunset and Moon sighed.

But then again, why did she suddenly have this dream?

Obviously, she has never dreamed of her mother before... Did something affect her?

Rimu Jieyue thought about it, and finally found a half-day and half-moon coin with a clear body.

——If there is anything that can affect her dreams, it is probably this coin.

When I got it before Sunset and Jieyue, I thought this coin looked familiar. Now that I think about it—isn't this the coin that belongs to "myself" that she saw in the parallel world ten years later?

Moreover, this coin did not come to her ten years later for no reason, because earlier, it belonged to her mother, Higurashi Mao!

Higurashi Yuzuki finally remembered: Back then, Higurashi Mao liked to play a game of guessing coins with her, and the coin she used at that time was this one!

Until the moment Higurashi Mao disappeared, the only thing she left for Higurashi Yutsuki was this coin.But later, when Higurashi Jieyue was sent to the hospital due to coma, the coin that she was holding in her hand also disappeared... Higurashi Jieyue thought that she would never find it again in her whole life Such a coin, unexpectedly, after going through all kinds of twists and turns, this coin, which means a lot to her, returned to her hands.

Moreover, it was returned to her by Bai Lan...

[Your things, I gave you back. ]

Rimu Jieyue stared at the coin in a daze.

Suddenly, the dark clouds gathered in the sky dissipated, and Honmaru, who had not turned on the lights, suddenly brightened.

She stared sideways at the flower branches quietly blooming in the courtyard, where the watery moonlight was falling from the branches.
