Chapter 474 [Chapter 2] 34
When was the powerful, perfect, all-knowing, all-powerful, and resolute king who could support this country and dictate the direction of good and evil in this world, in this distorted original work where she, who was originally just sent to make soy sauce, walked away safely? The most unstable part of the plot must be captured by the little cannon fodder extracted.
Suddenly, the long-lost (fog!) cold voice rang in her mind without warning.
[You are also one of the best players who have entered this game so far, how about a little more confidence in yourself? 】
Liu Quan:! ?
[Hello!Don't use mind reading skills without authorization! ] She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and while slowly re-stepping to keep up with the steps of the head of the room, she complained in her heart.
The system bacteria snorted.
[Let me remind you, in this world, you are Liu Quan Xinya. 】
[If you haven't forgotten, you didn't exist in this world at all.Your identity was created for you by the system in order to restore this world. 】
[So, you don't have special skills to attract the favorability of all characters in advance.Everything you get is the result of your own hard work. 】
[Even if what you get exceeds your expectations, it's not because of any pre-set ridiculous settings that can shake the stability of the entire world. 】
【It doesn’t matter if you have good looks or certain superpowers. If you can attract others just by doing this, then there is no need for a large part of the fandom world to exist. 】
It sneered grimly.
[Because some heroines in the fandom world, even without looks and abilities, can still sweep thousands of male leads and supporting actors.Compared with them, some of the characteristics of you are like a futile joke. 】
Liu Quan: [……You don’t need to put it so clearly, did your previous [Attitude Package] automatically uninstall it? ]
Silently groaning in her heart as if she was so unconvinced, a sentence Munakata Reiji once said suddenly flashed through her mind like lightning.
【You may have excellent qualities and conditions... But perhaps, all of this has nothing to do with whether you are outstanding.You don't have to be the best one, just be the most special one. 】
Liu Quan: "..."
It seemed that he suddenly understood something.
The system bacteria with its own mind reading ability snorted again.
Then came to a conclusion.
[If you doubt your own behavior, you doubt our ability to choose players.This can make people unhappy ah? 】
Liu Quan: [This, this is really... sorry? ]
The system bacteria snorted as if it was very unhappy, and dived again.
Speaking of it, although she was often tortured and complained about by this strict system with seemingly zero friendliness in the past, but... occasionally there will be some extremely rare moments, and she can subtly feel the... Kindness and concern?
Liu Quan pursed her lips, and an imperceptible smile flashed by the corner of her eyes.
[yes.I don't have time for unnecessary emotion here. ]
[Because every minute and every second that can stay with this person is precious. ]
[Because if I'm with this person, every day will become sparkling......]
[I have to cherish it carefully. ]
With such a sigh in her heart, she quickened her pace, caught up with Munakata Reishi's tall and straight figure, and walked side by side with him.
Sure enough, the head of the office went back to his room to change into the standard SCEPTER4 uniform, and when he returned to the office of the head of the office, he showed the extraordinary demeanor of a superior person.
...It was as if the things that childishly crushed Xiao Hei-jun earlier had never happened to him at all.
As a visitor, Liu Quan seemed a little embarrassed to stay in the head's office for a long time; but the head of the office relieved this unnecessary worry with a word.
He said: "The one who will come later is a simple young man. ... I don't know how to communicate with such a person. Xinya-kun, I may have to rely on your ability when the time comes, so please stay here for now. .”
Liu Quan thought for a moment that the head of the office complained that he was out of tune with his classmates when he was a student, and was even complained about the generation gap between his thoughts and other classmates, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then I'll cut in unceremoniously then? Please don't blame me for being rude." She also responded unceremoniously.
Awashima Seri, who had already returned to the village and left the young man to Akiyama to assist with a series of prescribed procedures, seemed speechless at the room chief's self-revelation, and lowered his gaze as if silently sighing. expression.
Liu Quan: "...Ahaha."
This slightly delicate (?) atmosphere lingered in the office of the chief for a while.
It has been a while (?) since he left this office, the head of the office seems to have a lot of backlogged business to be dealt with.After Liu Quan stayed, he has been focusing on dealing with those trivial matters.And Seri Awashima, after showing an expression of being unable to complain for a moment, quickly adjusted to the working mode, standing at the desk and making various reports to the head of the room from time to time.
Liu Quan, who had nothing to do, had to wander aside, stood in front of the jigsaw puzzle hanging on the wall, rubbed his chin and stared at the picture frame for a long time.
Of course, as soon as she entered the door, she noticed that the only puzzle piece on the wall was a gift she gave to the head of the room.Recalling that the half unfinished jigsaw puzzle hanging on the wall of the head's apartment was also a gift from her back then, she always felt that it was no surprise to find similar decorations in the head's office.
...Of course, it is undeniable that I was very moved.
It was unbelievable that after being separated for many years, the head of the room actually acted like a male protagonist who fit the most su and perfect definition in all romance novels, which made her feel a subtle sense of OOC—and flattered.
I always feel... It's impossible for such a good thing to happen to me, a mortal with fishy lips, so easily?Sure enough, something is wrong with this world...?
However, the visitor they were waiting for soon arrived.Liu Quan didn't have time to continue thinking.
The boy who looked exactly like the Izanasha she knew—no, this body was used by the "Izanasha" back then—had timidly pushed open the door and walked in.
The head of the room explained to him the arrangement for his future in the way he thought he was very kind, but it still sounded a bit formulaic—paying for his tuition and letting him go back to Chaowei Middle School to complete it. High school studies——After that, the boy whose real name was actually "Hinida Toru" did not immediately accept it with flattery, but a deep sense of suspicion appeared on his face.
Liu Quan recognized that expression.It must be very similar to the expression on her own face just now.
It's all a look of [Oh my god, how can such a good thing suddenly and easily happen to a mortal like me with fishy lips and lucky E? There must be something wrong].
For some reason, she suddenly felt a vague sense of admiration for this young man who looked very familiar but was completely unfamiliar inside.
At this time, Seri Awashima, the deputy head of SCEPTER4, who is also an [elite who is used to business-like, a little ungrounded], is trying to persuade Toru Hida who is full of doubts.
"'Feishiyuan'... No, in fact, some private companies have jointly established a very good scholarship system... We have already applied for and obtained permission for you without authorization. Regarding the admission fee and tuition fee, we will not ask you at present. You will be charged, and in terms of daily life, you will be given a certain amount of subsidies. If you plan to further your studies, this should be a good opportunity."
Liu Quan: ...Sister Awashima, you are spoiling me.Moreover, for mortals like me with fish lips, detailed explanations are sometimes better than easy-to-understand wording for the other party to accept.
She lowered her head and filtered the various information that she had just obtained from the narratives of Munakata Reiji and Awashima Seri, and organized language that was easy for people to accept.
While she was thinking, the head of the room said again: "You don't seem to be very interested? It is true that considering your age, you have entered school three years late, which seems a bit out of date. But I Still think it's a good proposal?"
Yanagi Izumi noticed that beads of sweat were even forming on Toru Hida's forehead from the words of the room chief.
"Don't, don't say it's 'not bad', even I feel that this proposal is very grateful..." Hita Toru replied nervously, "But, but, why me...?"
Because he didn't immediately show a silly and sweet look and happily accepted this very tempting proposal with a happy smile, Hida Toru felt an invisible wave coming from the two men in neat uniforms who looked full of excitement. The pressure from the superior person who admires the sense of authority.
That kind of pressure made him have to lower his head, staring at a certain point on the floor, feeling that his shoulders might collapse in the next moment.
It turned out that he always thought he was lucky E.He is a helpless orphan, without a particularly bright mind or other abilities to be proud of. He has no family, no money, and no friends. I really felt that even if the kind of big cake that can only be expected in a dream falls on the top of my head, the feeling is not as good as I imagined.He just wants to run away now, but he also knows it won't work.
The young man sitting behind the desk, with his elbows on the table and his chin on his hands, looked at him with a playful expression—according to the nameplate on the table, he was the “Minakata Chief”—— It gave Toru Hita a strange impression that it was impossible for the head of the room to let him go before he obediently agreed and complied with all the proposals of the other party.
Toru Hieda stared sadly at the floor, which was so clean that he could almost see people's shadows, thinking that someone would come and save him.
In the whole life he can remember, he is just an insignificant little person, and he really has no such experience in dealing with superiors.
I don't know how to express my thoughts without being killed by the other party.
There was a brief, awkward silence in the room.
Suddenly, a young woman's voice, completely different from the previous deputy chief, rang out easily.
"Hinida-kun has concerns, this is also a very normal thing."
Hiroda Toru:! ?
He turned to look at the source of the voice almost immediately, noticing that the young woman who had been standing in the corner of this huge office since he entered the door, fascinated by a jigsaw puzzle hanging on the wall, had turned her head at this moment , and showed a kind smile, and walked slowly to his side.
This young woman was dressed in casual clothes, with long black hair hanging over her shoulders, and bright eyes. She looked as lively and friendly as a college girl, without the sense of oppression and seriousness unique to elites.Hita Toru didn't know who she was and why she stayed in this seemingly authoritative office; but now, he did feel a little grateful for her timely opening and saving him from the fire.
This young woman, who looked like an assistant working here temporarily, stopped after walking to his side, her eyes softly falling on his face.
"After all, Hita-kun still has symptoms of amnesia... It is a good habit to be vigilant about all unknown things?"
To be praised so bluntly, even Toru Hita felt that it was a bit too much. Although he felt confused, he still lowered his head in embarrassment.
"No, not at all..." He stammered, somehow felt that he could use this young woman's speech to explain his thoughts a little bit, so he mustered up the courage to say: "I, I was not very Good at getting along with people...and not...the type who can accept kindness from others without asking..."
"Ah, that's right." The young girl really smiled and narrowed her eyes, paused, and then said, "Speaking of... to treat this kind of good luck that seems to have fallen from the sky to you, Hita-kun really It is with a cautious attitude.”
Hita Toru: "Huh?"
The young girl continued to speak in a relaxed tone: "From this point of view, Hida-kun also possesses the qualities of frankness and honesty that are rare among young people nowadays? Just relying on this quality alone, you have I am qualified to accept this scholarship and make good arrangements for my future."
Hita Toru: "...Ehh?!"
The other party continued to speak with an aura that made him hard to refuse, and he was completely convinced unconsciously.
"Although the conversation with the civil servants is boring, and the other party's wording may be difficult to understand... But this is the most explanation they can give you due to their limited status. Hita-kun, please forgive them for the time being?"
Toru Hida noticed that the "Leader of SCEPTER4" who used to be a high-ranking person——Reji Munakata, the head of the department, now smiled bitterly because of the words of this woman who was like a temporary assistant working on vacation .
That kind of expression subtly neutralizes the superior, unapproachable sense of authority and disturbing sense of superiority in his expression, making him look a little more mortal, and thus giving Enoshita a kind of " This person should actually be very reliable, right? He just doesn’t know how to communicate with ordinary people in an ordinary way” illusion (?).
This discovery made him feel a little relieved.
Then I continued to listen to the young girl, using an "ordinary way that ordinary people would use", she turned the words of the civil servants of the first and second leaders of SCEPTER4 into a simple pattern, and re-explained to him again.
"In short, during the period of amnesia, as a JUNGLE user and U-level member, you assisted the relevant parties to deal with the JUNGLE incident."
Hiroda let out an exclamation. "Eh?! U, U-class members?!"
If I remember correctly, before he lost his memory, he was really addicted to the free SNSAPP [JUNGLE], and at that time he was just about to upgrade from L-level to G-level... For more than a year, even if he lost his memory , but to be promoted from G-level to U-level is not just a simple matter of two more levels.He also doesn't think he has the extraordinary talent (?) to quickly accumulate points and achieve this achievement (?).
Yet the young girl confirmed the fact with a convincing nod to him.
"According to our investigation, it is precisely because of the dangerous task you accepted that caused you to lose your memory that it provided you with enough points to upgrade. After that, you completed a series of tasks given by JUNGLE... There is reason to believe that someone The person with superpowers controls your consciousness through their superpowers, manipulating you to complete those tasks. As for why the other party chose you—maybe it is because Hita-kun gives people a feeling of being easy to get close to, gentle and harmless? Well, After all, sometimes appearance is also a kind of weapon, Hita-kun should understand, right?"
Hiroda Toru was at a loss immediately. "Well... ah... this... is it..."
While talking a little bit incoherently, Hida Toru, who was looking around in a panic to hide his uneasiness, suddenly noticed that although Munakata Reiji's attitude was still so indifferent, his hands rested on the desk to support his chin, He listened to the young woman Yanagizumi Nobuya with a look of interest, but SCEPTER4 Deputy Chief Seri Awashima, who was standing aside, felt a subtle sense of embarrassment for some reason.
...Probably because you are not used to this way of ordinary people's communication?Toru Hieda guessed like this without authorization.
"In short, we finally discovered this fact based on some clues, and successfully obtained your assistance. You also made a lot of contributions in solving the JUNGLE incident. Unfortunately, in the end, the base camp of JUNGLE was detonated by villains , you were also affected, and your head was concussed. When you woke up, you found that the two people guarding you were the ones who rescued you, and they also reported your condition to us in time... Otherwise, in the chaotic situation of the big explosion at that time, it would be difficult to take care of a specific person alone." Liuquan Xinya continued.
Hida Toru found that she possessed excellent eloquence.He narrated the matter in an orderly manner, and even took care of the details that he might have doubts about. The whole process of the matter was described in a complete and complete manner, and it sounded like there was absolutely no possibility of making it up.
"Yes, is that so..." He replied hesitantly, "That, that is really... causing trouble for everyone..."
Liu Quan Xinya smiled.
A pretty young girl always has an impactful and convincing smile, and coupled with the intimacy of her already soft face as a basis, Hida Toru was relieved almost immediately.
...It seems that she finally understands a little bit about what she said just now, "Appearance is also a kind of weapon"?
"No, you don't need to be so polite." She said with a smile, "Hinida-kun risked his life to help us a lot, and in the end, because of the serious consequences of amnesia caused by a head injury in this incident, the relevant parties will give you some rewards And compensation, you deserve it all. Please just accept it openly and frankly."
Hida Toru: "Oh... oh oh. In this case..."
...Unexpectedly, he just accepted her statement that sounded very reasonable, and nodded in agreement with the arrangement SCEPTER4 made for him.
"Since this is the case, we will arrange for you to visit the high school and apply for admission as soon as possible. Please don't worry about the problem of accommodation. Chaowei Middle School has a dormitory with perfect conditions." Mr. Munakata said so, with a hint of misgiving on his face. It makes people feel that it is a bit of a wicked smile.
Then, Hita Toru noticed Yanagizumi Shinya rolling her eyes lightly.Contrary to him, she doesn't seem to be affected by the so-called "coercion of superiors" on Munakata Reiji at all.
Strictly speaking, that expression lacked due respect for Mr. Munakata, but it made Toru Hieda relax for no reason.
"Thanks, thank you. Then I... accept it with gratitude." He stammered a little.
Then he noticed a meaningful smile on Munakata Reiji's face.
"……correct."
It didn't look like a high-ranking person who would recommend any small shop to others casually, and said in a cheerful tone full of interest.
"There is a place I hope you can stop by and visit. I will let my subordinates guide you."
Although he said words such as "hope" and "by the way", the aura revealed by that person was completely undeniable.Because of this feeling, Hita Toru smiled wryly.
"Yes, yes. I don't know... where is it?"
The "Chairman Munakata" replied readily, "It's a bar."
Hita Toru: "..."
This kind of high-ranking and important person condescendingly recommends bars to over-age high school students like himself... No matter how I think about it, I think it's too unreal.
Hita Toru subconsciously turned his eyes for help to the only young girl in the room who was dressed in casual clothes and who subtly gave people a sense of intimacy.
Maybe because he noticed his gaze, Munakata Reishi also looked at Liuquan Xinya.
"By the way. Why don't you please...Liu Quan-kun will take Hita-kun there for me? SCEPTER4 will make proper arrangements for transportation." He said with a smile, and then looked at Hita Toru again, with a kind of pleasant Amway He said in a tone: "Aside from the types of customers who frequent the store, it's a nice store. It's rare to have such an opportunity, so please go over and say hello."
Echida heard Liu Quan Xinya smile.
"To put it bluntly, there are some people who dealt with Hita-kun at that time when Hita-kun lost his memory. Maybe the appearance looks a bit difficult to deal with... But, to put it bluntly, they are all straightforward and good people." She smiled. explained to him.
Perhaps seeing Hida's uneasy look, she added another sentence.
"...They are all my friends too. So I am also a good person."
Hida Toru didn't realize until now that the way she squinted her eyes and smiled somehow gave him the illusion that she was somewhat similar to Munakata Reiji's smile.
"Trust me a little more, Hita-kun? I won't take you on an adventure."
The author has something to say:
February 1:
In this chapter, the setting of Xiaobai-kun's body, the boy Toru Hida, comes from the official special novel.
Of course, being a U-class member during the period of amnesia to assist in handling the case is a girl's nonsense. It was to give the boy Hida a reason to accept the arrangements made by the head of the room with peace of mind.
So the [serious nonsense] skill that the girl learned from the room chief has finally reached the full level [not
