Chapter 848 [Chapter 4] 268
His tone was a bit flat, but the aura hidden behind his tone didn't seem to be restrained deliberately at all, but was completely released, as if he wanted to use this unquestionable attitude to make the other party submit to what he wanted from the very beginning. As if the purpose was achieved.
Liu Quan:! ! !
She was extremely surprised, her eyes widened, and she was stunned as if she had been temporarily petrified.
Seeing her clumsy look, Munakata Reiji was not angry on the other side of the screen - as if satisfied with reading something he wanted to know from her stupid expression, he spoke again with a smile.
"Huh?...Xinya, don't give up on me from the beginning."
Liu Quan:! ! !
This familiar line was like a bolt of lightning, splitting into her consciousness that had become stagnant due to his unexpected words, taking her away from that somewhat unreal chaotic state, and bringing her sanity back into the cage .
"Munakata-senpai!..." She called him again, and just when she was about to say "I'm sorry I can't go to your place, but do you want to come to my place", she heard the sound of the door being opened again, Immediately afterwards, the click of the soles of the boots tapping the ground sounded, from far to near.
Reji Munakata sighed silently, feeling helpless and displeased at the situation of "important calls being interrupted by uninterested subordinates again and again". The Head of the Fourth Sub-Office of the Household Registration Division looked up, raised his head to face the person, and asked kindly (?) "Awashima-kun? What's the matter?"
Then, the voice of his deputy, Seri Awashima, sounded.
"Director, the Prime Minister has sent an invitation for a meeting. I would like to discuss with you about a series of issues concerning the jurisdiction and disposal of 'outsiders' who still have superpowers around the world after the Dresden Stone Slab was destroyed. ’” she said in a serious, businesslike tone.
"In addition, there is also news from the 'Feishiyuan' that some 'big figures' have contacted you through the relationship of the 'Feishiyuan', and they want to have an in-depth discussion with you face to face on the issue and timing of the reelection of the prime minister—"
Liu Quan:? !
Of course she knew that "Feishiyuan" was the clan name of Changlu Dajue, Kingdom of Gold.Although she didn't know whether Guochang Lu Dajue had passed away at the beginning, she could guess that since some important person wanted to contact Reisi Munakata through the Golden Clan, she planned to discuss the re-election of the Prime Minister—rather than directly Changlu Dajue, the King of Gold with a high status and a royal lord, discusses such an important matter, which means... the King of Gold is at least in a state of being unable to perform his duties at this time, so he should be responsible and make decisions All the important matters have been transferred to Reisi Munakata's hands?
Suddenly, the words that the majestic old man said a long time ago emerged from the depths of her memory.
[Young people need to have such a steady attitude, so that people can rest assured that this country will be handed over to you. 】
On the screen, Seri Awashima was still asking:
"...What do you think, Chief?"
Munakata Reiji pondered for two seconds, nodded slightly, and replied: "Well...you can arrange a meeting time with them. The existing issue of the jurisdiction of 'outsiders' is not inconsistent with the removal of the prime minister. However, Through the meeting at the 'Untimely Court', remember not to reveal any rumors."
He quickly gave a series of instructions, and Awashima Seri responded neatly, as if he immediately memorized every word the Blue King ordered in his mind.
Only Liu Quan, who was sitting at the other end of the screen, still maintained the blank look before, staring at the series of instructions and arrangements issued by Reiji Munakata on the light screen, and his brain fell into complete chaos.
System Bacteria once said that in the original K world, Munakata Reji's personal line was chosen to start with, because in the original fan work that constructed that sub-world, the male protagonist chosen by the author Bacteria was Munakata Reiji.Although the original work lost its stability due to over-writing, the beginning of that world was still because the author Jun wanted to construct a complete story with Munakata Reiji as the male protagonist—a complete world.
In other words, that sub-world exists because of Munakata Reishi, not anyone else.
In the original fanfic, it doesn't matter even if a word doesn't describe Xiaobai Jun or Zhou Fangzun.Because that original article—the foundation of that subworld—was Munakata Reiji.Only he runs through the full text of the original work, supporting the ups and downs of the plot until the ENDING—just like him now, supporting the world in chaos after the disappearance of the Dresden stone slab.
But now, what is she planning to do?Extract the foundation, the most important pillar, on which the sub-world was built and existed?So without such a most important person as a support, what would the world be like? !What will happen to the people left in that world? !
Liu Quan was terrified.
Until this moment, she finally understood Fujisawa Shoji's true intentions.
...this is the ultimate test.
After experiencing so many worlds—so many victories—to test whether she also forgot her original intention, was confused by sweet victories and her own strength, and mistakenly thought that she could fight the world without thinking and don’t have to worry will be punished; because she is the one who has the right—and the ability—to change the world, and the future direction and survival of this world, in a sense, all depend on her will and choices.
... Such a person, who is self-righteous to the extreme, who thinks that he is qualified to let the whole world run according to his own wishes in disregard of legal principles and rules, is the most deserving Mary Sue, right?
Liu Quan looked at his hands clasped on the table, his fingers slowly clenched, the skin on the back of his hands turned white.
But... the opportunity to truly reunite with this person in front of me is right in front of my eyes, within reach...
This is, after going through so many worlds of tossing and hard work, after so many years of long time, even if you grit your teeth, shed tears, endure injuries, ignore wounds, and carry guilt and pain, you must keep moving forward. After Yan Biao's journey, for the first time, she had such an opportunity in front of her to reconnect with the person she had ever met who had the most profound influence on her——
In particular, the jigsaw puzzle hanging on the wall of his office, and the unfinished jigsaw puzzle he just mentioned in his words, have already shown that he still has the same beautiful, deep, and profound feelings for her as before. Feelings that you can't help but want to indulge in.
Even if he has now become the real pillar of that world-becoming an indispensable and important figure in that world even if he does not rely on the male lead setting of the original doujin.
The passage of time and the change of status failed to take away the most beautiful things that she had resolutely left in the Qingbu activity room of Chaowei Middle School. On the contrary, many years later, in such an irresistible way, It reappeared in front of her—as long as she stretched out her hand, it seemed that she could touch it, catch it, hold it firmly and never lose it again.
The tip of Liu Quan's nose suddenly soured violently, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.
On the screen, maybe Reji Munakata gave some incomprehensible instructions just now, Seri Awashima's tone was a bit hesitant.
"...Then, at least tell us why we did this..."
Then, it was Munakata Reiji's voice.Powerful, calm, stable, calm, and unquestionable, as if every word and every sentence he stated was righteous and true.
"This is because, only in this way, can this country and this world continue and develop in a peaceful manner. This is the most beneficial choice for most people. In comparison, a little bit of harm to me is negligible .”
Even through a screen of light, his voice sounded convincing and admirable.
"Those who have power must bear this power."
"Supporting this country and this world moving forward in an orderly manner, this is my mission as the Blue King. Even if there is no slate, no sanctuary, and no sword of Damocles—"
His brows were condensed, as if through the light screen, his eyes met hers.
"That's my righteousness," he said.
Liu Quan:! ! !
For some reason, tears burst out of my eyes.
...Maybe because, at this moment, even though she didn't say anything to him about Fujisawa Shoji's suggestion—to come to this world and fight side by side with her as her colleague—she suddenly understood one thing.
Munakata Reiji will not come to this world.Even if he gave up his old world and came here, it meant that he could come to her and be reunited with her.
Perhaps it was through the projection of the light screen that she noticed that there was a difference in her expression, Munakata Reiji did not give any more instructions to Seri Awashima, but let her go down quickly.
Liu Quan didn't know whether Seri Awashima had discovered that the person in the projection was her during this short work report.But now, that doesn't seem to matter anymore.
After Seri Awashima closed the door, Rei Munakata was silent for two seconds before speaking again and asking:
"Xinya, what happened?"
Before Liu Quan could speak, he felt tears pouring out of his eyes.In order to barely suppress the surge of tears, she was so patient that she trembled slightly.
She tried to speak several times, and when she finally made a sound, she realized that her voice was so hoarse that it didn't seem like her own.
"I, can't go to your place... sorry."
The spherical timer on the table was still slowly counting down every second, and she had to make a long story short.
Moreover, thousands of words, when the final conclusion has been drawn, seem so pale and powerless, completely unable to shorten the distance between the two of them.
Munakata Reiji showed a bit of astonishment, as if he had already known that she had the same feelings as him and was looking forward to the reunion, but his feelings and ideas were suddenly completely overturned.
"...Why?" After a brief astonishment, he asked briefly in a deep voice.
Liu Quan took a deep breath.
She was not sure whether she still had the right to tell him the truth of the whole world after Munakata Reji would not agree to come to this world.After a second of hesitation, she decided on a more convincing explanation.
"After killing the king, I was thrown into another world," she said, trying to sound calm and persuasive.
"This is the punishment I must accept for forcibly killing the king as an ordinary 'outsider'."
