fall in love with Echizen

There are still a few days until the ball skills conference.

At night, I sat on the sofa humming and playing games. The huge screen on the wall projected the game page, and I grabbed the potato chips on the side and ate a few slices.

Mom lives in school, and dad is off tomorrow, sitting on another sofa and reading comics.

Hino stared at the manga in the afternoon: "Ah... the rabbit horn is too handsome... Damn it!"

I glanced at the cover of his manga. It was a girl holding a knife, with short blue hair and sharp blue pupils. I suddenly said, ""Mystery of the Devil"? Lily Xiang manga... I like rabbits. Tuqing CP loves it!"

"I just think the teachers in it are miserable..." Dad shed crocodile tears for the ordinary teachers. After reading it, he put the manga on the ground and began to read the newspaper seriously after a long time. "The newspapers I bought can't be wasted."

I groaned, looked at the screen and continued to play my game.

Just progressed to the successful stage of the strategy, and the ending plot and CG appeared.

[You failed to escape again, and your whole body was burned by curse lines, and you could only tremble in the cold cage in pain. ]

[You were born as a human being, but now you are reduced to a curse spirit, a monster.He was hostile to his former companions and failed miserably. ]

[This is of course, the duo that you couldn't beat when you were a human is even more impossible now. ]

I silently stared at the attribute board of "Force Value: 50".

Well...reasonable.

["Ah, ◎◎, ◎◎, does it hurt?" The silver-haired boy squatted down, his blue eyes contained galaxies, and he drew out his tone with a bad attitude. ]

[After tearing his face apart, Wujo Satoru's attitude is always bad, and the naughty interruptions in the past no longer exist. ]

["Okay, Wu, stop making trouble. Didn't you save her?" The black-haired boy came in, staring at you in embarrassment with cold fox eyes, "From those old guys."]

["Hahahahaha we're together." Gojo Satoru laughed, his sunglasses slipped down the bridge of his nose, and he gave you a mischievous smile, "There's nothing you can do if it's a curse spirit. I was very sad when I betrayed us◎ ◎. Don’t worry, I’m very magnanimous, you just need to stay here.”]

[The dark basement, the cold iron cage, and the surroundings are covered with charms, which hurt when touched.You breathed out, your black hair wet and stuck to your cold white cheeks. ]

[The two teenagers who are known as the strongest combination in Gaozhuan are looking at you quietly. ]

[* Wujo Satoru: Favorability 100, blackening value 90]

[The curse spirit who abandoned her human identity and betrayed me should have killed you... Obviously should have killed...]

[*Xia Youjie: Favorability 100, blackening 100]

[I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the identity of the curse spirit... What’s wrong with me... I don’t really want to share it, but if that person is enlightened, there’s nothing I can do about it.And it's impossible to agree.So be it. ]

[*Achieve the ending: the former companions will always exist]

I stared at the screen with the handle: "..."

Dad removed the newspaper and looked at it: "What's wrong?...BE? Not bad, keep working hard, you should play every ending once you buy the game."

I said with difficulty: "...this blackened one is too ooc..."

"Love strategy. It fits well." Dad said casually, staring at the newspaper. Suddenly, he froze, his eyes widened, and he pulled the newspaper closer.

"Wait...wait!? Hey hey hey, is this that Echizen Ryoma boy!? Does he look like this!!?"

I was taken aback and took the newspaper: "Let me read it?"

Looking down, there is a photo in the lower left corner of the newspaper, with titles such as "Freshman Echizen Ryoma", "Joining the Youth Tennis Club as a freshman", "Future Star" and so on.

That's not the point, the point is—

The accompanying photo is Senior Kaitang, looking fiercely at the camera while wearing a headscarf.

I was silent: "..."

Me: "No, it seems that the photo was misplaced."

"Oh, let me just say..." Dad breathed a sigh of relief, "I remember it was a green-haired kid. Bigger eyes."

I:"……"

Dad looked at the person in charge of this column of the newspaper: "No, there is a mistake in this job. If you don't work hard, your salary will be deducted."

I quit the game and glanced at the ending I played on the start page.

[Ending: nailed to the heart]

[Nagizaki Wild Rose: Huh?What happened to all the girls?I am much more reliable than those stinky men, and of course I will protect you. ]

[Ending: Oblivion]

[No one remembers your death, like dust falling to the ground. ]

... In short, there are a lot of them, and simple calculations are not far from finishing all the endings.

A game is a game, I don’t take it seriously, and I’m not good at it in reality. This may be the charm of games and comics.

I put away the game and yawned: "Dad, I'm going to bed first."

"go Go."

I lay on the bed, thought about it, and sent messages to Ryoma every day.

[Ewha: Are you there? ]

He came back quickly.

[Ryoma: What's wrong. ]

[Ewha: Nothing! ]

[Ryoma: ...]

I rolled on the bed.

[Ewha: I saw your name in the newspaper!But Kaidou-senpai]

I subconsciously sent it before I finished typing, and continued typing in the dialog box, but Ryoma typed very fast.

[Ryoma:? ]

[Ryoma: What do you mean? ]

[Ryoma: Aren't you not familiar with Kaitang-senpai?Or did you say that you got to know each other in private? ]

[Ryoma: By the way, you are also quite familiar with Fuji-senpai. ]

[Ryoma: ... Hey, where are you? ]

I just finished typing.

[Ewha: The picture with your name on it was published in the newspaper. ]

I saw a long string of messages from him.

[Ryoma: ...]

[Ewha: Didn't cook in private!Fuji-senpai... I feel a bit dark-bellied but overall he is a gentle person. ]

[Ryoma: Oh. ]

[Ewha: You missed the point, hey!Your name was replaced by Senior Kaitang! ]

[Ryoma: It doesn't matter.I don't care about these. ]

[Ewha: Hey—the above Kua Kua doesn’t have you anymore! ]

[Ryoma: ...It doesn't matter what I said. ]

[Ryoma: What are the compliments of others? ]

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Ewha: Then it doesn’t matter if I praise you?This is not a girlfriend at all! ]

[Ryoma: ...]

[Ryoma: I didn't mention you. ]

He pauses for a few seconds.

[Ryoma: And Lihua, you didn't praise me too much.Just a few words. ]

I was silent for a moment: "..."

Through the screen, I can feel that he seems to be blaming me...or vaguely acting like a baby and expecting...?Go crazy.

I paused, recalled, and found that it was indeed the case.

Although I'm not interested in getting Ryoma to praise me, Ryoma seems to be looking forward to it. At least when I praised him before, he was calm on the surface, but he could see happy little flowers all over his body.

So I typed carefully.

[Ewha: I will praise you tomorrow!Remember to be happy!Very happy kind! ]

[Ryoma: ... Whatever you want. ]

[Ewha: Good night! ]

[Ryoma: Good night. ]

Going to school, I am looking forward to noon.

Nozaki Umetaro put on a wooden face: "Why are you looking forward to it?"

"Ah—it must be because I want to meet Echizen-kun!" Yui held her face and smiled sweetly, "It's like me and Ichisho-kun."

Fukuoka Yuta squinted his eyes: "Hmph, evil lover group."

Nozaki Umetaro: "..."

I said, "It's because I promised Ryoma that I would praise him. I was thinking about how to praise him."

Nozaki: "...Ah, it seems that Echizen-kun is destined not to sleep at noon today."

I was dissatisfied: "It won't delay the nap time, and it won't keep talking."

Nozaki: "But a qualified boyfriend should always think... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

I watched Nozaki get up and go out suspiciously.

Yui said happily: "Great, it looks like you and Ryoma can continue like this forever."

Fu 樫 Yuta sighed: "Does the silver dragon girl who has the power also be fettered by the world?...Human beings."

I:"……"

At noon, I went to the rooftop, and Ryoma usually arrived earlier than me.

Ryoma was sitting, I packed up my things and stared at him as soon as I finished eating, he raised his eyes slightly: "... What do you think I am doing?"

I kept staring at him and went to his side, bent my knees and sat on the ground, resting my cheeks in my hands.

Ryoma turned his head to avoid my sight: "Is there something on my face?"

"No." I was in a good mood, raised my smiling face, and said happily, "I just think you are quite handsome, Ryoma."

"..." Ryoma paused, looking over, Amber's eyes widened for a moment, and quickly retorted in the next second, "Oh, so?"

I continued: "Like a cat, so cute."

"...It's unnecessary to be cute."

I thought for a while: "You still have baby fat, and so do I. Just... it looks good."

Ryoma glanced over and said in a stiff tone, "I don't have baby fat."

But I didn't care about this topic anymore, and continued to boast: "You are also very good at tennis."

"...You don't need to say it." Ryoma finally realized, "Are you praising me? Because of yesterday?...You idiot, you won't be happy if you praise me like this."

I tilted my head: "No way?"

Ryoma: "No."

He paused, turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth viciously: "You might as well say that I'm the strongest, and I'll be happy."

I followed him and said, "You are the strongest."

"..." Maybe I spoke too fast, Ryoma paused for a few seconds before humming slowly.

I wondered: "Are you happy?"

"... so-so." He replied dully.

There was some pink on Ryoma's face, Maotong looked away, seeing me staring at him, Ryoma stared back not to be outdone: "..."

If I wanted to continue boasting, I approached Ryoma and hugged Ryoma skillfully. Ryoma's spread legs had to be spread further apart, but when he hugged me back.The teenager's legs on both sides of my waist subconsciously moved together again.

Because Ryoma was wearing shorts, his legs directly touched my arms hugging his waist without any gap. I didn't respond, but he quickly moved his legs away.

I put my chin on Ryoma's chest and stared at him. Ryoma's cat pupils narrowed uncomfortably, and the skin under the eyes was a little pink.

"...Wait a minute, you're too close..." He turned his head away and said, but still hugged me.

I wondered: "But we hugged like this before?"

Ryoma: "...the past is different from the present."

Me: "What's the difference?"

"..." Ryoma seemed to be organizing his words, his dark green shattered hair drooped because of his lowered head, and his amber eyes reflected me.

"Anyway, the older you get, the less you can be so unscrupulous. Especially you."

I:"……?"

I was dissatisfied: "Do you mean that we will become more and more distant in the future?"

"That's not what it means..." He clicked impatiently.

I was confused: "We are boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't we? We should hug each other."

"..." Ryoma stared at me with downcast eyes, exhaled for a while, "Okay..."

He hesitated for a while, then hugged him even tighter, his legs were not so stiff, and he relaxed.

Ryoma casually put his head on my shoulder, moved his legs closer, and bumped my arm: "Hey, what newspaper were you talking about yesterday."

I happened to be hanging in his arms, it was warm, and the tip of the nose had the unique breath of dragons and horses. Although his body was not soft, he had an inexplicable sense of security. I was about to fall asleep in a daze. Said: "There is a newspaper that published Qingxue's tennis club..."

As I said that, Ryoma's arm holding my back moved inadvertently, and the palm of his hand happened to be pressed against the uneven fabric under the thin school uniform.

I stopped, he slowly realized something.

Before I could speak, Ryoma let go of me quickly, and even sat back some distance, with a rare panicked expression: "I..."

The temperature around me disappeared, and my hand also lost the humanoid shelf and fell.

I was taken aback: "..."

silence.

His face was redder than before, and he didn't even look at me, his eyes flickered, and I felt a little shy and embarrassed after knowing it.

I touched the outline of the vest...to die...
