==============

"If, I mean if."

Another timid voice came out of his mind, it was not as arrogant and confident as the clamorer, and it maintained a meek and timid appearance from the beginning to the end.

"After choosing to be selfish, what will happen to Yukimura-san if he finds out? Do you have the heart to see Yukimura-san in pain?"

Asakawa Xia was silent, she was left speechless by her gentle and non-aggressive voice.The voice continued to speak, and the voice was as gentle as a mother secretly kissing her sleeping daughter's forehead.

"Are you willing to fulfill Yukimura-san's dream?

I'm a part of you, and I'll be honest: I'm terrified of living with guilt for decades for the rest of my life.

Of course, this is also a part of selfishness. "Selfishness" fears loss, and "fulfillment" fears guilt. "

The invisible bondage belts imposed by oneself are falling rapidly from all directions that cannot be seen. They are powerfully entangled and enveloping Asakawa Natsu's whole body, hanging her above the judgment platform to observe the world like a big impenetrable net. Force her to face the inescapable reality.

So heavy, so tired...

Why, why am I the one facing the choice?

The long hair hanging on the side of the girl's face was blown by the wind, hiding most of the expression on her cheeks. Her fingers clinging to the fence kept repeating the movements of loosening and clenching, like a marionette with a single command. other actions.

It would be nice if I didn't know anything...

I want to be a ignorant person.

The emotions accumulated in my heart were like the monstrous sea water sweeping across the coastline in a typhoon day, violently hitting Asakawa Xia's tense and fragile nerves.

Why, why would I know?

"This relationship that started on your own initiative..."

The meaningful words on April [-]st in the dream suddenly appeared in her mind, she murmured and repeated, and then looked at the looming pink and white bead chain under the cuff with unbelievable eyes.

Is this the real price?

beep--

The crisp whistle announcing the end of the game brought back Asakawa Xia's thoughts about running far away. She let go of her fingers that were tightly fastened to the fence and looked up at the quiet and peaceful tennis court.

Yanagi Renji, who lost to Genichiro Sanada by a narrow margin, was not as unwilling as he expected, and he accepted the result of the game as if he had expected it.

The hand that took the initiative to cross the white net was pulled into a slender look by the sun, and the two of them held each other lightly like a touch of water for just a moment, and then they began to exchange their mistakes in this game while leaving the court.

"Sanada, the strength is the best when you hit back..."

Obviously, obviously... when Yukimura-san was here, everyone was much more lively, and at least the unwillingness would still be revealed, not like it is now.

"Mother Lily." Asakawa Natsu brushed back the hair that covered her cheeks, and she took a small step towards Noko Lily, "Do you feel that the atmosphere in the tennis club is still, and everyone seems to be saying: There is no minister The team is so lonely."

"Asakawa."

"Ok?"

Yezi Lily looked at the girl in front of her tenderly, and she gently raised her hands: "Do you want to hug?"

In the evening sun, the outline of Noko Lily was a bit blurred. She opened her arms quietly without too many words, waiting for Asakawa Xia.

"……want."

The black hair curled up beautifully, and the petite girl threw herself into Yezi Lily's arms. She turned her face slightly to hold back the heat in her eyes, "Mother Lily...why do you want to hug me?"

"Hmm..." Noko Lily pondered for a while: "Do you want to tell the truth?"

Asakawa Xia nodded: "Listen."

"You're lonely too." Noko Lily caressed Asakawa Xia Wei's disheveled hair softly, "Maybe it's an illusion, I always felt that the idiot who used to be coquettish and shameless had something to hide."

"..."

Asakawa Xia bit the corner of her mouth, she opened her mouth to say something but finally chose to remain silent.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't ask. But..." Noko Lily looked at the person she had a crush on for many years in the court, for him to learn tennis and shogi: "If something entangles you and you can't talk about it , May wish to imagine whether the result of each choice will make you regret it.”

"Many results are actually obvious. For example, why didn't I confess to my crush? Because he lacks love nerves, and according to his personality, there is a high probability that he won't even be able to make friends after a straight ball."

"I don't have the courage of Asakawa, and I don't have the confidence to give up a friendship. It's better to maintain the status quo than to lose a friend and bet that there is no possible outcome. Anyway, he doesn't have a crush, and it doesn't matter if I secretly have a crush on him."

***

Friday night at eight.

Stepping into the Kanagawa night in mid-April, the coldness of the midwinter season has completely faded away. Asakawa Natsu gently leaned against the wall by the living room window. She didn't turn on the lights. The only light in the room was the dimly lit street lamp outside the courtyard wall.

- Don't make choices that you regret.

"call……"

Asakawa Xia let out a long sigh of relief, even if the sadness on that immature face was blurred by the not so bright light, it was enough to clearly perceive the entanglement under the skin.

"It would be great if the choice at the fork in life was the same as Galgame or Otome games. I don't ask for a chance to save and start again. Can you let me see the final result of "selfishness"? "

The girl's slender fingers scratched the glass heavily, and a dirty mark spread and grew along with her movements. Asakawa Xia's body lost support little by little, and she slowly slid down and curled up into a corner that was not illuminated by the light.

I miss my mother and my father, want, want... want their arms and tenderness; want them to help me make choices; want to...

But I can't say, how can I let them choose my own affairs and make them bad people?

The mobile phone left casually next to her turned on on time, and the white screen light faintly illuminated the small corner. Xiahu Asakawa fumbled for a long time before mustering up the courage to pick up the mobile phone to check.

First contact:

Mom: Honey, the leave application for me and your father has been approved, how about playing with you for a week then?Mom has made up her mind to ask for leave for you to relax!

[Picture: The old father who worked overtime seriously]

Mom: Remember to tell mom if you want something, otherwise you can buy something that your baby doesn't want and don't dislike it.

Second contact:

Ashi: I feel that Xiaoxia has no energy recently. Is it because I can't adapt to the changing seasons and didn't rest, okay?

[file: audio file]

Ashi: When I read Mr. Wang's collection of essays, I was deeply moved. After much deliberation, I still couldn't resist reading my favorite passages and making them into audio files.

Ashi: I hope Xiaoxia likes it.

Third contact:

Mama Lily: From tomorrow onwards, I will be in charge of Asakawa's bento.

[Picture: Full Kitchen Ingredients]

Lily's mother: Relatives in my hometown sent a lot of ingredients, and the family couldn't finish eating for a while, so help me solve it.

Mother Lily: Don't refuse.

Fourth contact:

Shimizu-san: Asakawa-san, my mother has recently turned into a strawberry maniac, and the house has been occupied by strawberries. Can you help me with some of the strawberries?

Shimizu-san: Please.

[Picture: Fresh Strawberries]

Mom, father, Yukimura-san, Lily's mother, Shimizu-san...

Asakawa Xia repeated the letter's name over and over again, the girl hid half of her face between her knees, and replied to each message one by one while holding back her sobs.

The sultry warm air slipped in from the unclosed window, and Asakawa Natsu, who had finished chatting, curled up two points deeper in the corner, and the audio file sent by Yukimura Seichi was playing on a loop beside her.

In the quiet and empty room, Seiichi Yukimura's side that belongs exclusively to Asakawa Natsu reveals a small corner through the gentle tone of voice when reading the prose and the thoughts after the article is over.

Asakawa Xia's consciousness became more and more blurred. When she was drowsy, she heard a chuckle and a vague sentence: "...I always feel that you should be by my side at this time."

——Yukimura-san, I don't deserve your gentle treatment.

I mean... I think about it every day and dream about it at night?

—Probably count?

The standard Otome game main interface UI in front of her stunned Asakawa Xia for a long time. It's not that she has never played this kind of game, nor is it the first time she has dreamed of a game-related scene, but...

In the game character guide interface, all the original male or female character cards are replaced with Yukimura Seiichi of different ages and different dresses, and the upper right corner of each card is marked: [Strategy completed]

The most outrageous thing is——

Asakawa Xia casually clicked on a card, and the relevant information jumped out directly:

[National high school, Yukimura Seiki city has been captured]

[Strategy method: ****]

[Specific strategy process: Stupid player...]

Asakawa Natsu: ...

I didn't feel it when I pursued it, why when I looked at it from the perspective of a bystander, I just wanted to dig through the cracks in the ground.

"I don't know if this game has an if line."

Asakawa Natsu sat on the ground, endured the sense of death to escape from the earth, and checked the main and branch plots of [Junichu.Yukimura Seichi] one by one. After a while, Asakawa Natsu silently complained: "As expected of the game I dreamed of, it's not sorted by favorability and timeline... Hehe, Lily's mother is right."

What an absolute idiot.

Tucao returns to Tucao, Asakawa Natsu, who has not found the point she wants to know the most, has to continue to read, and after a long time, it is almost a review of how to "pursue Yukimura Seichi" Asakawa Natsu, finally in the penultimate fifth branch plot Develop what you want.

"Stupid player. Asakawa Natsu is about to read [if line. Selfish] to confirm or reject"

Before thinking about the relevant plot, Asakawa Xia was full of thoughts: "Let me know quickly, I am very curious, I need a little bit of the key, so that I can make a wish immediately." God Tucao: "The idiot game I created is not good at all."

When Asakawa Xia found that the scale lacked "a little bit of key" weight, the fear that spread from the whole body up and down the spine swallowed all her thoughts, leaving only the trembling fingers hanging above [confirmation].

I……

I suddenly thought, no, what should I do if I dare not read it?

If Yukimura-san, everyone in the tennis club, Mama Lily...they know the truth, what will they think of me?

What if they blame me?

if……

Asakawa Xia tried to imagine many kinds of results, and clearly knew that the dreams she constructed, the various information in front of her, and the plot text written by the cards were all controlled by the subconscious, subjective feelings and memories.

But she still couldn't contain the fear in her heart.

Tick, tick...

Time slipped away from her fingers, and the original bright UI interface became dim. It looked like "Xiachuan Xia" who was about to completely shed her white skin and expose her ugly and selfish heart.

"I don't even dare to face my own assumptions, so why bother with shameful entanglements?"

That gentle voice kept echoing in Asakawa Xia's ears, and slowly...the voice changed to the voice of every acquaintance around her, laughing, mocking, provoking the deep fear in Asakawa Xia's heart.

pat-

"The player has confirmed reading [if line.selfish]"

"Loading, please wait…"

The author has something to say:

I always feel that you should be by my side at this time.

Excerpted from Yasunari Kawabata

A team without a minister is too lonely

Original sentence: The team without you is too lonely

Excerpted from Wangwang, I don't remember which character said it.

Children have written too many times in their dreams, and they need to change the form of the game, otherwise they will feel that there are too many words
