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

Facing the problem of this goblin, faced with these three options, after clearing the single-player strategy line of [Dazai Osamu], it is very clear what these options represent.

Among them, the first option [A. Yes, I like you, Mr. Dazai.No... not so much liking as love.I love you, Mr. Dazai! ], which represents a fiery, straightforward and undisguised love, and is also the answer that best fits the character design of the heroine Tsukino Kage, who is "impulsive, kind, tough and pure white, and indomitable".Logically speaking, this character design is the kingly heroine design in the otome game, and can capture more than 80% of the characters, but Dazai Osamu is the 20%, players dare to choose him and dare to show you their favor!

And the second option [B. You who already have the answer, what kind of answer do you want from me, Dazai? ], is an image of calm and introverted, with a city in his heart but not stingy with being gentle with others. To sum it up in one word, it is the persona of "a goddess who always gives people a sense of distant mystery".This character set can often easily attack some villains with distorted personalities, but Higurashi Jieyue did not expect that the little goblin Osamu Dazai would not call this character set.

Then come to the last third option [C. Like you?No, no... I just want you to be my trophy, Dazai-san. 】.The key words of this route are "sensitivity" and "control".If the first character design is a kingly character design that can capture 80% of men, and the second character design is the remaining 19% boss-harvesting character design, then the third character design is the last 1% of weird specialties The killer character design is just suitable for this exquisite boy!

And it is true.In Osamu Dazai's single-player line, the only character who can hit HE is Queen Shaking S of the option C route.And this is the only route that decisively shuts down Osamu Dazai's small dark room when he tries to sneakily commit suicide, and finally makes a decisive decision to "live" for him, taking him away from death.

But even for this character design, he experienced countless deaths and failures on the way to the end of the sun and the moon. After reading the file countless times, he worked hard to play the HE ending...but this is only HE, not TE.

The trueend belonging to the character [Dazai Osamu] is eternal death.

When clearing the first few routes, Higurashi Yuyue couldn't understand why this guy was looking for death and life all the time, but thinking about "seeking death and life" is the character design of this little fairy, Higurashi Jieyue couldn't bear it when he looked at this face.

But after entering the TE line, faced with Dazai Osamu's last two questions, Higurashi Yuzuki finally understood why this character had such an ending.

[Miss Jing, do you still have expectations for the world? 】

[Miss Jing, do you feel tired? 】

Sunset Jieyue did not answer these two questions.

Of course.

But from these two questions, she got the final puzzle about the character [Osamu Dazai]: he is a person who no longer has any expectations for the world, he is tired and ready to go to eternal sleep.

That's it.

Therefore, after understanding the setting of this character, even though Higurashi Jieyue knows that choosing C will quickly increase her favorability to 100, so that she can quickly carry out the final strategy of the second character, she still discards these three options Regardless, I chose——

D.

Free to answer.

Free answering in the game is a new function launched by the ever-changing game industry in 2020. Its principle is to capture the keywords given by the player, and after the real-time calculation of the background network, it will be given by the mouth of the game characters. The player's answer that best matches the character design of the game.

This function looks very advanced, but I heard that the electronic machinery manufacturer "ARGUS" will launch a machine called "NERvGear" worn on the head in a short time. At that time, this machine will be able to control The human brain is connected to the virtual world, making human beings realize a complete virtual reality!This function is much more advanced than real-time calculation!

So compared to virtual reality, this is just a trivial matter.

But having said that, although this setting is common, it is rarely used by players, because the lines generated by the computer are not as emotional and explosive as those designed by humans, and generally it will not change the overall situation of the game. , so most players assume that this option does not exist, and most games also have to call up the operation of the console to make this option appear.

Higurashi Jieyue is usually a player who ignores the "free answer" option, but this time, when faced with this character and this question, she suddenly had something she wanted to say to "him".

[Miss Jing, do you like me? ] The beautiful boy asked her like this.

[For you who have no "expectation" in your heart, you don't actually care about whether I like it or not.That being the case, why ask such a question? ] Higurashi Jieyue replied like this.

The beautiful boy on the screen showed a surprised look for the first time, then he changed his sitting position and stared at her outside the screen.

[Did Miss Jing think of me like this? 】

Higurashi Jieyue was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she felt that this kind of slippery answer was exactly the style of this cunning ghost, so she thought about it and continued typing.

[Yeah, you are really a troublesome guy.So instead of asking me if I like you or not, I want to ask if you really want to decide to like me? 】

【like you? 】

[No, think about it carefully, in fact, it’s not limited to me, it’s okay to like anyone and anything, because in this case, maybe you can also have a little expectation for this world, right? 】

【...So, you mean, it's okay if I don't like you? 】

There was a momentary strange flash in Ri Mu Jieyue's heart, and she felt that this question was weird, but she didn't pay much attention to it and continued typing.

【Of course, it doesn't matter!If liking someone or something can make you happy, even if that person is not me, I will be happy for you. 】

The people on the screen were silent for a moment.

[Do people like you think that people like me, who associate with sin and mud, have the right to happiness?Are you really happy for something like this? 】

Sunset and Moon were stunned.

She felt a little dazed.

She subconsciously wanted to follow the character design of "Yue Ye mirror" and replied "of course", but before she could send such an answer, the beautiful boy behind the screen continued.

[Please answer me seriously, Miss Jing.I'm not asking anyone but you - do you really think I have a right to be happy and be happy for me from the bottom of my heart? 】

Questions like this are just too weird and go too deep.

Going deep and almost touching the surface of the soul of Sunset and Moon.

This frightened Higurashi Jieyue, who had closed her heart for almost three years, and didn't even have time to think about why a game character would ask such a question.

She just pressed the power button subconsciously, wanting to turn off the game and run away from the screen, but she didn't know whether it was because the button failed or the pressing force was not enough this time. It's back to normal again.

After the momentary panic, Higurashi Jieyue took a deep breath and regained his composure.

"It's okay..." she said to herself, "it's just a game."

It's just a game, and the person opposite is just a virtual game character...so it doesn't matter what she says.

Even talking about the person "Sunset and Moon"... is...

it's OK.

it's OK.

Higurashi Jieyue gripped the gamepad tightly.

After a while, she typed again.

【You once said this—the pursuit of absolute "correctness" is inherently wrong, and most of the good deeds in the world are self-satisfaction.I'm sorry that I can't fully affirm your words, and I will never deny others' behaviors that turn out to be good because their starting point may be evil, but at least one thing I know very well, that is, everything I have done so far is indeed " self-satisfaction". 】

Sunset and Jieyue typed slowly.

[I'm a person who is... willing to be self-satisfied.I take everything in the world as a matter of course, even though I often cannot understand some evil deeds or good crimes, but I know that all these things happen in this world for granted. 】Everyone is taking it for granted and losing it for granted.Before that fateful day comes, no one knows their end. [So I also believe that everyone has the right to be happy, and everyone has the right to be unhappy. 】

【Since everyone has the right to happiness, it is only natural that you have the right to happiness. 】

[And I will be happy for your happiness, which is also a matter of course. 】

The beautiful boy on the screen was silent for a while.

[Even if such happiness will cause misfortune to others, do you think so? ] he asked.

Higurashi Jieyue thought for a while, brought himself into the heroine Tsukino mirror, and after thinking for a while, answered seriously.

【Yes.I know that the desire to make someone happy is also the desire to make someone else unhappy.But there will always be people in the world who are happy, and there will always be people who are unhappy.If you must choose who should be happy, then of course I hope you can be happy. 】

Is this the answer of "Yue Ye Jing" or the answer of "Sunset and Moon"?

Maybe it's both, or maybe it's neither.

It's hard to tell the difference between the sun and the moon.

The pretty boy laughed again.

But there was malice in his iris eyes.

【Then what if the world wants to exchange my misfortune for everyone's happiness?What if my happiness makes the world unhappy?Miss Jing, in this case, how do you choose? 】

Facing aggressive questions from the beautiful boy one after another, Higurashi Yuyue was silent for a moment, and then felt at a loss.

Why...she must think about such a question in the game?

It would be fine if it was one or two, but this is one after another!

Why talk about life in the game? !Is the game not fun or the wall is not good-looking? ?

And such a question seems a bit too much for her who is only 15 years old, right?

She is still a child! !

Higurashi Jieyue felt that he was an idiot for wanting to discuss the issue of "happiness" with this goblin: he knew that the little goblin's character design was the kind that would ask you "Which one would you save if your mother or your boyfriend fell into the water?" After asking, you must answer "Why did you save your mother/boyfriend? Is it because you don't love your boyfriend/mom?" She actually said something sincerely I hope you will be happy and so on...

Happy ghost!

A gangster doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend!

Go to the construction site to raise the bar by yourself!

Rimujieyue stretched out his hand angrily, wanting to close the game.

But when she looked up and saw Xiao Zuojing's beautiful face on the screen, she sighed again and again, and finally withdrew her hand from closing the game, and started typing honestly.

[If I had to choose, I'm afraid I can't say something like "As long as you are happy, the world will be fine anyway"... But I will work hard.I will try my best to transfer this misfortune to me alone, so it is always possible, right?If the happiness of the person I like must be exchanged for someone's misfortune, then let me be that unfortunate person. 】

After all... She who has reached the end of "lucky" will never encounter more unfortunate things.

Higurashi Jieyue smiled self-deprecatingly.

What's more, if her loss can really make someone happy, then she will also feel satisfied and joyful because of such "happiness".

Because she is such a person willing to "self-satisfaction".

So, if she is really Yue Yejing and really likes this kind of little workman, then she will probably make such a decision.

The beautiful boy on the screen didn't speak anymore.

He stared at the screen with a strange gaze, so that Ri Mu Jieyue had the illusion that he was staring at her outside the screen.

She subconsciously felt horrified, but before she could react, Osamu Dazai laughed again.

[Very interesting answer, but also a very naive idea...I didn't expect that Miss Jing was still a child. I really didn't think about it. 】

Think about it for a moment:

Is her IQ despised by a game character? ?

Ri Mu Jieyue shook his head amusedly, but he didn't feel angry and annoyed because of it, after all, it was just a game.

She called up the character's favorability bar, wanting to know whether her answer just answered the key words, and filled up the last bit of favorability.

But at this moment, Higurashi Jieyue heard the voice of the postman.

——The courier is here!

Several pieces of game peripherals that he had mail-ordered flashed through his mind, and Higurashi Jieyue suddenly felt excited.

As soon as she put the game controller on the carpet, she turned and left the bedroom, but before she went out, she saw a new line of dialogue popping up on the game screen.

[But Ms. Jing, in this world, good people always have short lives, and good children often find it difficult to live long enough to become "good people", because the malice from others will turn into hell and drag you into the abyss...]

Sunset and Jieyue didn't read any more.

She left the bedroom and walked towards the entrance, planning to think about customs clearance after receiving the courier.

So she didn't see that on the screen of the game, the beautiful boy who looked like the embodiment of darkness was smiling meaningfully.

【...So please live well, Ms. Jing. 】

【Survive this hell and come to me. 】

【Just like I expected. 】

……

Sunset Jieyue dug out her Berserker's Creed Exquisite Peripherals from the inbox at the door, and when she was about to close the door, a familiar young man walked by her door.

"Huh? Xiaojieyue, have you bought new game peripherals?"

The person who spoke was Toru Amuro. He was a very handsome man. He couldn't tell how old he was. He was currently working at the Polo Coffee Shop not far away, because he often went to the coffee shop to work part-time at the end of the day. That's how he met.

However, Mr. Amuro is a warm-hearted person. After hearing that she has no elders to take care of her and is living alone in Mihua Town, and often goes out to work for living expenses, he has always taken care of her. Give her something, sometimes it's dessert, sometimes it's dessert, sometimes it's dessert, it can be said to be the natural enemy of a girl's body.

cough.

In short, for Mr. Amuro who is like an elder, Higurashi Keiyue still respects him very much, so she stopped her action and said seriously: "Yes, it is a peripheral of the Berserker's Creed game, but this game is not a new game. It's a remake of an old game."

Toru Amuro: "...just asking casually, you don't need to answer so seriously."

Higurashi Jieyue was stunned: "Eh? Is that so..."

Toru Amuro waved his hand a little funny: "Forget it, when I didn't say it, seriousness is the cuteness of Xiaojieyue! You go and play, I have nothing else to do, I just pass by to say hello to you, The store manager told me about you—" Toru Amuro suddenly paused, his eyes fell on the unopened courier box in Higurashi Yuyue's hand, his face changed slightly, "Xiao Jieyue, do you have an alarm clock or something like that around? ?”

Rimu Jieyue was at a loss: "Alarm clock? No, it's just a character model..."

Toru Amuro's expression suddenly became severe, and he said sharply, "Throw away the things in your hands!"

"what?"

Higurashi Jieyue's eyes blurred, and Toru Amuro, who was still on the opposite side, came in front of her at some point, knocked the express box in her hand, and pressed her hard.

"Get down!"

boom--

A huge explosion sounded at the same time as Amuro Toru's voice.

The turbulent air waves rolled out, and the hard reinforced concrete was scattered like smashed tofu.

Amidst the tinnitus of qi and blood surging, Sunset and Moon were at a loss for a moment.

--what happened?

The sound of flames burning, the sound of someone shouting her name, the sound of buildings collapsing, the sounds of people around screaming and panicking...

All the sounds were separated by a thick diaphragm, accompanied by tinnitus, buzzing in her ears.

Higurashi Jieyue suddenly struggled, broke free from the shackles of Toru Amuro with unexpected and amazing strength, stood up staggeringly, turned his head to look back at the rented house, and stared at his home for the past three years.

There was a sea of ​​fire in his eyes.
