Chapter 491 [Chapter 2] 51
"If...you can quit smoking, then I'll stay."
Liu Quan turned around to face Reiji Munakata, with the corners of his lips slightly curved, revealing a faint and strange smile.
——Why did you make such a strange and tricky request?Probably, it was because I knew that I had made up my mind in an instant, and no matter what, I would abandon everything else I had to choose this person in front of me, so... I wanted to embarrass him a little bit in an unexpected way, as if Only by doing this can he prove that he is also very important in his mind, just like he has the ability to control her mood, he also has the ability to control his mood?
Speaking of which, when she made this unexpected request, it turned out that her mood turned out to be "a moment of calm and relief after finally making an important decision".
...But fortunately, she hasn't relaxed enough to lose her mind.Otherwise, the request she made at this moment is not [quit smoking], but [eat all the two large bowls of red bean paste that Awashima-kun brought as a meeting gift for a visit, and I will believe in your sincerity].
Ah, it turns out that she has finally learned the evil side of his painting style?
As expected, Munakata Reisi frowned slightly, showing a bit troubled and puzzled expression.
"I just smoke once in a while."
"That doesn't work either." Liu Quan replied without giving in, speaking a little faster unconsciously.
A gleam of light flickered across Reiji Munakata's glasses.
He narrowed his eyes as if troubled, and took a deep breath.Then he said:
"...Then, let's do this."
System Bacteria: [Countdown 10 minutes! 】
Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.It wasn't until this moment that she realized that her chest was so tight that it was almost painful, as if a big hand was holding her heart tightly. If she didn't agree to stay, that invisible hand would be like trying to squeeze her fragile little one. It's like breaking a heart.
A thin layer of tears welled up in her eyes.
"I have to go back first. Then I'll be back," she said quickly, gazing into the deep eyes behind his thin-rimmed glasses.
"As long as I live, as long as I can, I will come back." She said firmly.
"No matter how much time and effort it took to get to this point, no matter if it was too late when I was finally able to return..."
"I'll come back even if it's too late and misses all the good things."
"When the time comes...I hope I can still pass the entrance test of the Youth Department."
System Bacteria: [Countdown 9 minutes! 】
Munakata Reji looked at her deeply, said nothing, but slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Then he took it out of his pocket—a key!
Liu Quan:? !
Munakata Reisi naturally stretched out the key to Liu Quan, and said, "Then take it."
Of course, Liu Quan couldn't get it wrong—this key must be the spare key of Mr. Shi's apartment.However, he handed the key to her now, and she couldn't take it away...
As if seeing her hesitation, Munakata Reji said again.
"Actually, I've wanted to hand over the spare key to my apartment to you for a long time. ——I planned to do so five years ago, even before the Hirazaka Building incident... because at that time I was facing the imminent graduation and moving out of the dormitory , I have already found an apartment, I originally wanted to hand over the key to you on the day I moved out of the dormitory, and begged you to move in and live with me."
System Bacteria: [Countdown 8 minutes! 】
Liu Quan: "...Eh?! Mr. Li, what you said...is, cohabitation?!"
Reji Munakata's gaze flickered behind the lenses of the thin-rimmed glasses.
"Is there any other meaning besides this? That is, you and I want to live together."
System Bacteria: [Countdown 7 minutes! 】
Liu Quan was dumbfounded.
"Then, at that time...?! I, I haven't graduated yet, so I have to live in a dormitory..."
Reji Munakata said solemnly: "No problem. In fact, I have already arranged it."
Liu Quan: "...That's true, but have you ever asked for my opinion?! You don't think that as a member of the Youth Department, I must obey your orders, so even living together..."
System Bacteria: [Countdown 6 minutes! 】
Munakata Reishi smiled.
"So, I'm asking for your permission now, Xinya."
He reached out to her still holding the five-year-old key.
"Please accept it."
Liu Quan was silent for a moment.
"...I, maybe I can't take it with me?"
Munakata Reji's beautiful deep eyes were still looking directly at her.After a while, he actually spoke calmly.
"Hey~ I know."
He paused, as if thinking about something.After a few seconds, he seemed to have the answer, his eyes flickering behind the lenses of his thin-rimmed glasses, and he directly pushed the difficult question back to her.
"Even so—what about your answer, Xinya?"
System Bacteria: [Countdown 5 minutes! 】
……Decide.
Reji Munakata was waiting for her to make the final decision.
He had already expressed his attitude, and also displayed a rare frankness in an unusual way, and now he also presented the key that was taken out five years late in front of her.For Reiji Munakata, giving a woman [the key to his own apartment] is probably... almost equivalent to giving a woman a special item like a [ring], right?
What he said suddenly reappeared in the deepest part of her memory.
[I have always believed that it is meaningless to date someone who is going to break up sooner or later. 】
So... from the very beginning there wasn't a study group [forced to form just to prove the bad routines in romance novels], right?
From the beginning, he was doing meaningful things, listed her as a meaningful object, and wanted to have a meaningful relationship with her, instead of giving up halfway like the last time they parted...
After thinking of this, Liu Quan was only silent for about two seconds.
Then he stretched out his hand without hesitation, took the key from Munakata Reiji's hand, and held it tightly in his palm.
"Thank you, Reishi-kun. I accepted it gratefully," she said.
Reji Munakata narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
"What a nice boy," he said appreciatively.
Then, without hesitation, he leaned forward and hugged her tightly.
"I am very much looking forward to the new life with you, Xinya-kun?"
System Bacteria: [Countdown 4 minutes! 】
Liu Quan: "...Mr. Li Si, maybe your family members saw the horror scene of your unspoken subordinates through the window?"
Although parting is imminent, perhaps because she has already made a choice, although there is still a little worry about the uncertain future and sadness about parting, she does not feel much helplessness and hesitation, but a kind of The sense of steadfastness after the dust has settled, and because of this, I finally feel a little bit joking.
Although he didn't quite know the meaning of "hidden rules", but listening to her slightly provocative joking tone, Munakata Reiji laughed silently.
"'Unspoken rules'?...Ah, it means that I, the Blue King, fall in love with my subordinates. ——But, didn't I already do this kind of thing five years ago?"
Liu Quan:! ! !
System Bacteria: [Countdown 3 minutes! 】
Liu Quan turned his face slightly, pressed his cheek against his chest, and rubbed it lightly a few times.
"This world... is crazy." There was a hint of a smile in her voice, "If it were placed in those popular romance novels, readers would probably expect that you should at least fall in love with a king of the same status, Or a more powerful woman..."
"Oh, the king?!" Munakata Reji slightly raised the end of his voice in feigned surprise, "A more powerful woman?"
This is his usual tone - Liu Quan suddenly felt a strong nostalgia, even before he left this person.
System Bacteria: [Countdown 2 minutes! 】
"Unfortunately," like her, the head of the room also had a smile in his voice.
"I think a visitor from another world like you is very good. If you are a king, I am already - this is not a necessary condition for love to happen, right? If you are not a king, you can't fall in love. Probably Few people can get married, so the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau, except for the fourth branch, will probably gradually disappear." The head of the department said in a tone similar to an academic discussion.
Liu Quan's inner OS: ... Is this the unique humor of the head of the room?Really special?
Reiji Munakata paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became serious.
"And, as I've said, you've become an amazing woman—exactly what I wanted."
Liu Quan: "..."
She didn't forget what was happening when the head of the room said, "You have become a remarkable woman."
At that time, in the sky above his head, the cyan Sword of Damocles was shaking slightly. The sword was covered with cracks, and tiny pieces kept falling down.
If you have seen the last moments of this person's life, you will not hesitate about [staying with this person] now.
System Bacteria: [Countdown 1 minutes! 】
Liu Quan tightly held the key in his right hand.The uneven metal edge of the key hurt the skin of her palm.
Even for a moment...even for a little thing, feeling or memory about him...
She wants to catch it all.
Because, until now, she didn't understand that in her mind, he had already vaguely become the target she admired, admired, wanted to catch up with, and wanted to walk side by side. The influence, feelings and memories he brought to her were all Profound and indelible.
So, without him, she wouldn't be a better person -- she wouldn't be the person she is today, proud enough to live in this world with her head held high.
Strong emotions and unspeakable love flooded her heart.
To hug this man...
In order to pursue common ideals and beliefs with him...
I must have worked so hard for this.
All the darkness and fear I've experienced before...
The hardships and hardships that may be faced in the future...
It must also be the price that must be paid in order to get this person.
Liu Quan tightened his arms around his back, and hugged him tightly with all his strength.
"Rissi-kun—" she said.
"When we meet again next time, no matter what season it is, it will really be..."
"Really, let's go buy a kotatsu together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the system bacteria's emotionless voice suddenly sounded in her mind, with a cold tone, like a sharp knife, cutting into this warm and sentimental moment without warning.
【time up.The player is about to leave the world. 】
The author has something to say:
February 1:
The glass slag lasts for a few days, and then there is the irresponsible Su Su Su!
The spare key stalk comes from the head line HE of Game Academy K, oh hehehe【.
