Miss Naoko is always at the Shura Field

That was when you were five years old, and Uncle Ronnie was walking by the seaside holding your hand.The clear and bright water is emerald green, and the undulating waves are like silk blown by the wind.

The surging water wets your feet, and the sand sticks to your feet.

"Naoko, do you want to hear a story?" Uncle Ronnie asked you suddenly.

"Okay."

"Listen carefully," Ronnie said.

"In 1711, on the Yatwina Oyes sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, the alchemists who had left their hometowns held a ceremony to summon demons in order to obtain the 'big elixir'.

"The demons did appear and gave them the 'great elixir' - the wine of immortality.

"However, the devil has also established a rule. The person who drinks the wine of eternal life sticks the face of other undead with the palm of his right hand. As long as he wants to eat the other party in his heart, the other party will be completely absorbed by him, including the other party's body." Knowledge and experience. But in the same way, if you impart knowledge and experience to others, you can also put your right hand on his head.

"Therefore, some people ate the people on board in order to get the secret recipe of the wine of immortality, which caused a great commotion (Baccano).

"Meanwhile, a man made a request to the demon.

"He wanted the demon to accompany the alchemist who first summoned the demon, and that alchemist was Meza Avalo.

"The demon complied with the request."*

You stare at Ronnie with wide eyes.

Ronnie squatted down and looked at you: "Actually, I have to add one more thing, the devil has a mantra."

"Forget it (まあいい)."

You blinked and asked calmly: "So, is Uncle Ronnie a demon?"

"Isn't Naoko afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, because I know Uncle Ronnie loves me." You said, "This is a secret between Uncle Ronnie and me."

"Good boy," Ronnie smiled and patted your head. "Forget it (まあいい)."

With Yukimura approaching step by step, you can't help but believe it.

You stared blankly at the 【Illustrated Book】.

How does it feel to suddenly discover that the npcs in the game are all real people?

Ordinary people would not believe it.

However, you are different.

You know exactly what Uncle Ronnie is like.

You dare to open your heart to them because it is a game.

But what if all this is reality?

So what have they become to you now?

How do you face them?

You can't accept it for a while, and you don't know what to do.

Trembling, you dialed the phone.

"Ah, it's Naoko." It was Uncle Maiza who spoke to him. In fact, although Uncle Maiza was originally a human being, you are more in awe of him than Ronnie.

"Uncle Maza, where's Uncle Ronnie?"

"Ronnie, I don't know where he went, but he asked me to apologize to you." Meza said, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, let him call me back when he comes back."

Are you too guilty to answer her phone?

You hang up the phone and think.

This appearance on the contrary shows that the other party did not mean it.

But how should you face it yourself?

In the [Picture Book], [Yukimura Seiichi], [Atobe Keigo] and [Tezuka Kunimitsu] have all sent you messages.

You dare not open it at all.

You didn't dare to go to class today, and even Nioh didn't dare to meet the teacher while asking for leave.

Fortunately, [Nio Masaharu] was not lit up.

At least you still have a chance to breathe.

But when you think of Tezuka, Atobe and Yukimura, you start to have a headache.

It took a long time before you mustered up the courage to pick up your phone and open the illustrated book.

[Yukimura Seichi]: [Naoko, can you accept that the me in reality and the me on the Internet are the same person? 】

[Atobe Keigo]: [I have something to tell you, let's talk face to face when we meet again. 】

[Where did you go again, why didn't you reply to the message? 】

[Tezuka Kunimitsu]: [How are you doing recently? 】

Obviously, it should be just a chat partner on the Internet.

They are friends, but friends who will never go beyond reality.

Your first feeling is fear, and you almost throw your phone away.

What if they knew the truth?

You feel like you've invaded their lives.

That's not what you meant, you're just...you're just too lonely.

You confide your loneliness to [Yukimura] and [Atobe], and chat with [Tezuka] to ease your thoughts.

But...they should never be the real ones...

Then your cell phone rings.

You got on the phone.

"Sorry Naoko," Ronnie said. "It should be very troublesome now, right?"

"So what's going on?" You asked in a teary voice.

Ronnie sighed and narrated the whole process to you. Finally, he said: "You were chatting with people from a year ago before the bug was fixed. Now, the timeline has been pulled back."

"Then how do we solve it?" Because of Uncle Ronnie's presence, you gradually calmed down.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you let them know, the world will let them accept it naturally."

"But...it's not fair to them..."

"There is no fairness in this world, Naoko."

"But they paid for their feelings. If they knew the truth, they would be hurt..."

"Feelings are never one-way. It is precisely because of the feedback of your feelings that the other party will give their feelings. Since it is a sincere relationship from the beginning, there is no need to be afraid of anything."

"But... it feels like I've lied to them."

"It's not Naoko who deceives humans, but me." Ronnie's voice showed some inexplicable smiles, "Forget it (まあいい), I will create a coincidence, and Naoko must have the confidence and courage to face it. "

"Did Uncle Ronnie laugh just now?" you ask.

"Because I haven't seen such an interesting thing for a long time. Although it was not my intention, I am very happy to watch it... sorry."

"It's okay..." After all, it can't change the nature of the devil.You sigh.

After hanging up the phone, you think about the "coincidence" that Ronnie said, what kind of coincidence could it be?

Keigo Atobe flew to Kanagawa in his own helicopter.

You are out of touch again.

If you let yourself lose contact, maybe something will happen.Atobe thought so.

He intuitively senses that something has changed and he wants to find you and tell you everything.

"Master, prepare to land."

Narita Airport, Tezuka got off the plane, he looked back at the white clouds in the sky.

The trace left in the sky by the flight from Germany to Tokyo has not dissipated.

This time he came back with a different mood.

From the very beginning, he has a sense of responsibility to you, just like he wants to lead Qingxue to win the national championship.

The latter has been achieved, and he has finally become a professional gamer.

only……

He still wants to come back and see you.

Moon sees the gate of the house.

Atobe Keigo and Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at each other.

"Tezuka, have you returned to Japan?" Atobe asked in surprise.

"Yes." Tezuka said.

"So you are..."

"I came to see a friend." Tezuka replied.

Atobe narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What a coincidence," he said in a deep voice, "I also came to see a friend."

He went straight up and rang the doorbell, "Naoko Tsukimi, the person I'm looking for."

Tezuka just looked at him quietly, without speaking, until he heard the sound of light footsteps in the room, his expression changed slightly.

With a sound of "Who is it?", the door opened.

You stand in front of them.

Your expression froze, like a glass pattern.

"Naoko." Atobe and Tezuka said in unison.

You were silent for a moment and didn't speak. After a while, you took a breath and said in a panic: "Well... Guoguang, Jingwu, please come in first."

Atobe walked in first, and looked around the entire hall condescendingly.

Tezuka followed suit.

"That..." your voice was trembling, "that... I'll get you some tea...you...sit down first!" After you finished speaking, you ran into the kitchen, out of their sight Then dared to take a breath.

terrible!

So is this a coincidence arranged by Uncle Ronnie?

But there was nothing she could do about this coincidence!

Tezuka and Atobe...what to do...

The two sat down in the living room.

They can all feel a special vibe.

A tense atmosphere before entering the tennis court that ignited the smoke.

"Naoko and I are childhood sweethearts." Atobe said, he stared closely at Tezuka, as if he wanted to see something from Tezuka's unchanged expression for thousands of years.

"Childhood sweetheart?" Tezuka asked.

"Yes, we've known each other since we were ten years old."

"We also met when we were ten years old." Tezuka's calm answer was full of the majesty of the mountain.

Atobe Keigo and Tezuka Kunimitsu were both looking at each other.

After a while, Keigo Atobe said, "How about being in the German team now?"

"very good."

"Well." Atobe said, "Maybe we will meet at the stadium next time."

"Ah."

At this moment, you show up with tea.

"You guys have some tea."

The two stood up at the same time, Tezuka took the teapot and said, "I'll do it." Then poured two glasses of water for him and Atobe.

Tezuka was serious about everything he did, even serving tea and pouring water meticulously.

Atobe sat down, and he looked at you with concern, "Naoko, sit down too."

Your legs are weak from nervousness, you can only show a dry smile, "I..."

Your words are interrupted by the doorbell.

The three of you looked at the door at the same time.

Instead of being stared at by the burning eyes of two people, you felt a bit of breathing room and immediately said, "I'll go and open the door!"

"Naoko didn't go to class today, let me take a look." The one who opened the door was Yukimura Seichi, who was wearing a school uniform and looking at you with a smile.

Seeing your stiff expression, he asked, "Is there any friend here?" Then he looked into the hall.

Atobe and Tezuka were also looking at him.

Yukimura smiled at them, "Long time no see."

Yukimura came in, greeted them and sat down.

You hide in the kitchen with the excuse of getting another cup.

"Naoko and I are at the same table. How about you?" Yukimura asked.

"The Atobe Foundation has business dealings with Naoko's family," Atobe said.

But Tezuka said: "Naoko is my relative."

Yukimura and Atobe looked at Tezuka in surprise at the same time.

At this time, the doorbell rang again.

Yukimura went to open the door.

"I feel like this place is very lively, so I also come to join in the fun." King Ren walked in and said with a smile.
