Sea King's Self-cultivation

"Doge, I've always felt that there is one thing...it seems a little strange."

【What's up? 】

"About Shimizu Saki." Xing Xing said, "I had this question before entering the game. Don't you think Shimizu Saki's malice towards Shimizu Xing seems a bit unusual?"

[Well...how should I put it? 】Doge scratched his head, 【Shimizu Saki is the female supporting role, so it's normal to be malicious towards the heroine, right? 】

"But the whole logic is very strange." Xingxing said, "Thinking about it carefully, in life, would an ordinary girl always target a girl who has never had any grudges and is inferior to her in everything? Shimizu Saki is so beautiful , is already pretty enough to be a school girl, but her older sister Qingshui Xing is just a chubby girl."

"According to common sense, some girls are jealous of girls who are worse than themselves in some aspects, but they rarely hate girls who are not as good as themselves. Observing the memories of Sister Qingshui's childhood, at the very beginning, Qingshui Xing's parents treated her sister The two have no special preference, so there is no malice caused by partiality. That's why I find it strange that Shimizu Saki already has the beauty that her sister doesn't have, the attention of everyone, the preference of her parents and even the male god Why does she need to be jealous or to be against her sister who is inferior to her in everything?"

"No matter how you look at it, Qingshui Xing can't threaten her position, can she?"

Doge was silent for a moment: [... I think what you said makes sense. 】

Xingxing put her face on her face: "Hmm... I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

At this moment, she heard the long-lost system beep.

[Congratulations to player "Shimizu Xing" for triggering a hidden clue. (Clue progress: 1/3)]

Xingxing froze for a moment.

Hidden clues?What is this?

Is she starting a hidden plot?The meaning of the system is to show Shimizu Saki's unusual malice towards Shimizu Xing. Is there really another reason?

Shimizu Xing arrived at the school early the next morning. In addition to being the manager of the basketball department, she actually joined the student union at school.

The student union in the game will have two raiders - Akashi Seijuro and Midorima Shintaro.Just like all otome games, players join the student union in order to get close to the water and have more contact with the raiders, so as to gain the opportunity to gain favorability.

As soon as she came to the door of the student union office, Xing Xing was bumped into the front of her head and almost fell to the ground.However, the person who bumped into her was even more flustered than she herself. Regardless of the scattered documents, she quickly reached out and grabbed her.

"Ah... I'm sorry, sorry, I was too careless, Shimizu-san, are you okay?"

The other party apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine..." Just after saying a word, Xingxing raised her eyes and saw the person in front of her—another acquaintance in the game.

The boy in front of him had short flaxen hair, a fair face, and a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, making him look gentle and amiable.

This is the vice president of the student council, Shuichi Fukada.

Among the many NPCs in the No. [-] copy, there are three who have left a deep impression on Shimizu Anko, namely Momoi Itsuki, Kuroko Tetsuya, and Fukada Shuichi.These three people are all characters who stand firmly on Shimizu Xing's side among the game characters who prefer Shimizu Saki.

The character Shuichi Fukada can be said to be very inspirational.Shimizu Xing remembered that at the very beginning, he was the same as the heroine manipulated by the player, a big fat man with a figure exceeding that of ordinary people.

Perhaps because of the sympathy for each other, Shuichi Fukada quickly became good friends with the heroine in the game, and the two met to lose weight together.

The players all thought that this was a comedian in the game + a female protagonist's best friend, so they often ran with this NPC on the playground after school to explain.But to the surprise of all the players, a year later, Shuichi Fukada, who ran and exercised with them, lost weight and became a handsome guy, but the heroine manipulated by the player is still a chubby girl.

Perhaps it was because of the friendship they once lost weight together. After Shuichi Fukada lost weight, he did not dislike the heroine, but continued to be good friends with her as usual.

Shuichi Fukada, who has lost weight, is gentle and handsome, has excellent grades, and also serves as the vice-chairman of the student union. He is very popular among his classmates.Facing friends who are no longer what they used to be, the heroine who has never been able to lose weight feels deeply inferior.

Since then, the two have gradually drifted apart.

To be precise, the heroine took the initiative to alienate Shuichi Fukada.

Recalling this, Shimizu Xing pulled her thoughts out of the past.

Seeing Shuichi Fukada, she felt a little delicate.

Outside of the game, Xingxing didn't realize it, but after transmigrating into the game, Xingxing discovered that Fukada Shuichi was five points similar to her brother Shimizu Kazuki in real life.

But the problem is that her elder brother Shimizu Kazuki is a very cold person, and even his attitude towards her is more poisonous than pampering.She was used to her brother talking to her with a cold face, and suddenly seeing someone who looked five points like him smiling so softly and amiably... Xing Xing felt terrified.

Seeing her delicate expression, Fukada Shuichi revealed a trace of worry in his gentle expression, and said with concern: "Student Shimizu, are you really alright?"

Xingxing answered him delicately: "...Thank you Fukada-kun for your concern, I'm really fine."

Hearing what she said, Shuichi Fukada breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "It's fine. I wanted to welcome Shimizu-san back yesterday, but..." He paused, and stopped talking, his expression softened : "Anyway... welcome back, Shimizu-san."

Hearing this sentence, Xing Xing should be very moved, but... he is too dramatic with this face that is [-]% similar to her brother!She couldn't be more moved!

Xingxing choked up.

Perhaps because of the hair color and eye color, Shuichi Fukada gave Xingxing the feeling that she was very similar to Tsunayoshi Sawada in the third dungeon, a gentle and tolerant person.

But his tenderness seems to be different from that of Sawada Tsunayoshi.

There are activities in the college, the student union office is a bit deserted today, only Shuichi Fukada, Anko Shimizu, and Shintaro Midorima are the only ones working together in it.

Shuichi Fukada was quiet, and Shintaro Midorima was silent. In this atmosphere, Xingxing was too embarrassed to speak while working. She looked up at the numerical value above Midorima's head while she was bored.

[Target character "Midorima Shintaro", standpoint——]

[49% of the players prefer "Shimizu Xing". 】

Only then did Xingxing remember that in the game, Akashi Seijuro and Midorima Shintaro were also relatively neutral raiders among the Shimizu sisters.

He has excellent grades and often spends time in the library. In order to brush up his favorability, Xing Xing often goes to the library to study with Green Room.She even did something like "borrow an excerpt from the notes organized by Midorima, and then give it to Qingfeng, who is not a good student, and explain that these are the notes she compiled specially for him".

Back then, in order to capture Qingfeng Dahui, she bought a gift for him with krypton gold.Probably due to insufficient favorability, Qingfeng was unwilling to accept the gift from Xingxing.

For Haiwang Xingxing, this is of course not a big problem - she just passed the gift to Midorima, who will have her birthday next week.

Thinking back to this, Xingxing suddenly felt a little guilty.

Why does it feel like meeting Shintaro and becoming her universal tool man... It must be an illusion.

Xingxing took the lead to complete the work one step at a time. Before leaving the student union office, she was stopped by Shintaro Midorima.

"What's the matter? Mr. Lujian?" Xingxing stopped in her tracks.

Green Arrow pushed his glasses, and handed him a neatly folded umbrella: "This is the umbrella that Qing Shui borrowed from me last time, and I haven't had time to return it to you." He paused, "...Thank you .”

Xingxing quickly realized what kind of incident this was.

Once it rained heavily after school, and Midorima didn't bring an umbrella, and happened to meet Xingxing, so she suggested that she could take him home.

For some reason, he rejected Xingxing's proposal.

As a qualified Aquaman, how can he watch the fish in his fish pond go home in the rain?Seeing that he didn't want her to send him back, Xingxing immediately stuffed her umbrella into the opponent's hand, and then went to the gentle and gentleman Captain Akashi to rub the umbrella.

By the way, brush up your favorability again.

Thinking of this, Xingxing felt more and more guilty. She took her umbrella, and her eyes drifted subtly: "Mr. Lujian, you're welcome, this is just by the way..."

She vaguely passed the words behind, Xingxing took the umbrella and left the student union office, leaving Midorima standing alone.

Unlike everyone else in the basketball club.

Shimizu Saki and Shimizu Xing, in Midorima Shintaro's heart, there is no particular preference for anyone.

He and Shimizu Saki met because they were both members of the basketball club, because one year in the campus festival, he and Shimizu Saki played four hands together and played piano music together.

Midorima is good at the piano, and when she meets a girl who also has research in music, she naturally appreciates it more.But that's all there is to it, apart from a slight liking for Shimizu Saki, he doesn't have any intention of going further.

As for Qingshui Xing...

His initial impression of Qingshui Xing was actually very vague.

He has always been a self-disciplined and hard-working person. Even though his grades are already among the best among many students, Midorima never slacks off. Apart from the basketball club, the place he often visits is the study room in the library.

The library is close to the playground. Shintaro Midorima always likes to sit by the window in the study room. He only needs to raise his head slightly to have a panoramic view of the playground.

No matter when, he can always see the girl running around the playground.

From the dusk when the setting sun melts gold, to the night when the lights are first on.

Circle after circle.

Even if you can't see the results, it seems that you will never give up.

As if seeing her persistence, even the color of the sunset glow became soft.

This time when Shimizu Xing came back, Midorima could clearly feel the emotional fluctuations of his teammates around him, but compared to them, he always thought that he was not troubled.

Until...he took out the umbrella that he had been keeping.

Shuichi Fukada worked in the basketball club like him, and when he saw the umbrella in his hand, he smiled knowingly: "It turns out that Shimizu-san lent the umbrella to Midorima-kun that day."

"That day?" Midorima asked subconsciously.

"It was the day when it rained heavily." Fukada Osamu saw that he didn't know anything, but he seemed confused, "Isn't it because Shimizu-san lent the umbrella to Midorima-kun, so he had to go home with Akashi-kun?" ? Didn't she tell you?"

Green's heart trembled slightly.

Going home with Akashi under an umbrella?

But obviously... Among the five first picks in the basketball club, besides Aomine Daiki who grew up with him, isn't he the only person Shimizu Xing knows and is closest to?

When did she and Akashi get to know each other enough to go home together under an umbrella?

Xingxing didn't know what happened on the other side. She sat in the classroom and wandered for a day, looking at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, thinking about when school was over.

This game is too real... Sure enough, whether it is in the game or outside the game, the math teacher is always drowsy.

Four p.m.

The school bell rang.

There are still departmental activities today, Xing Xing dragged along with the crowd towards the direction of the basketball club, it was too inconvenient for her to go to the locker room to change into sportswear in the basketball club wearing a school uniform and short skirt.

As soon as the locker was opened, the white and pink envelope fell to the ground, accompanied by chocolates and flowers.

In reality, Xingxing has already received numbness when receiving love letters. She was neither surprised nor happy when she saw such a scene. She squatted down and tidied up as usual, but at the end of the tidying, she found an unnamed and untitled envelope among the envelopes. Petite pale pink stationery.

Unlike other love letters, which wrote a large paragraph of love words excerpted from the Internet, this letter paper only has a line of cursive English written in red marker pen——

"I will always be with you."

I will always stay with you?

Why is this confession so endless?

Xingxing looked back and forth, but found no signature or other information.

She didn't care too much, and stuffed the letter back into the locker together with other love letters, but the moment she closed the locker, she caught a glimpse of the love letters and gifts next to the other lockers in the basketball department, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. one time.

All the lockers are locked, and only I have the key in my hand. Those love letters and gifts given to her should be placed outside the locker like others received.

Why did it appear in her closet?

Just now, she didn't feel anything, but now, standing alone in the storage room with no other person, she suddenly felt extremely quiet around her.

The feeling of being watched by something... seems to have appeared again.

"Student Shimizu."

The sudden sound startled Xingxing, she turned around abruptly, and found that standing in front of her was Heizi Tetsuya who came to the storage room at some time, and she was relieved immediately.

The sudden appearance of someone she was familiar with instantly dispelled the strange atmosphere, and Xingxing felt a little at ease.

The blue-haired boy looked calm: "Student Qingshui, the training of the first army is about to start, we can go there."
