Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 124 28. A Satisfaction

December 1992, 6.

This day is the day when pokeni "New Onmyoji" is released on the MD platform.

Although June 6st is called International Children's Day, the country of Neon does not respect this custom, but celebrates their own unique three Children's Days.

You read that right, there are three Children's Days!
它们分别是3月3日的“女儿节”，5月5日的“男孩节”以及11月15日的“七五三”，但是会放假的只有5月5日的儿童节。

From the side, it also reflects that Neon is indeed a society where men are superior to women.

……

Koji Hirai is the manager of a game store in Akihabara Street, Tokyo.

In the 90s, Akihabara Street had not yet developed into a holy place for future otaku. In addition to selling electronic products, there were also many grocery stores and restaurants. It was no different from some ordinary neighborhoods.

If there are no cosers standing on the street, there will always be a little less taste.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, he dragged his tired body out of the house and went to the store, ready to open the door.

Although the name is the store manager, Hirai is no different from ordinary migrant workers, except that the salary he gets is a little higher than that of the store assistants, but the responsibility and responsibility are much more.

In addition to the store manager, a game store only employs one clerk at most, mainly because they can take turns looking at the store when the other party is busy.

Even in some game specialty stores, the store manager is a polished commander.

The game store he runs is one of Dongrun's Golden Finger game sales chain stores.

When Koji Hirai walked across the street corner and saw his game store, he couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

"Nani?! Really, what's going on?"

At the entrance of the small shop, there was a whole line lined up, and the crowd was densely packed, standing all the way to the end of the street...

Moreover, it is still the kind that can't see the end.

"Isn't it?"

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen such a situation in the past 4 years as the store manager.

What's going on today?
……

As soon as he reached the door, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Brother, are you jumping in line? This is not allowed. I have been queuing here for more than 3 hours. Please follow the rules and go to the back, okay?"

The young man at the head of the team said.

"That's right, can you please be a qualified person?"

"It's not easy for everyone. I have been waiting in line for a long time to buy a game cartridge. Please respect everyone's hard work." An elderly uncle came out to persuade.

People in the line raised their heads one after another, and looked at this [queue jumper] with contemptuous eyes.

Seeing this from everyone, Hirai Koji took a step back with a guilty conscience.

But he turned his head and thought, no.

What can you buy without me?
Made me really look like a queue jumper.

The store manager was pushed back by people, extremely helpless and innocent.

"You guys! Are you all here to buy "Final Fantasy 5"?" the store manager asked loudly.

The surrounding air suddenly became quiet.

Everyone fell into silence for a moment.

It's also very interesting to say that in this month, in addition to the release of Pokeni's new Onmyoji, there will also be a new popular game, which is "Final Fantasy 5" developed by Square on the SFC platform.

Square in this period can be described as a model worker. Since the release of Final Fantasy 1987 in 1, the company has continued the latest work at the rate of one Final Fantasy per year.

So the players are also looking forward to it once a year.

Final Fantasy 5 can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the entire Final Fantasy series, with average plots and average graphics. It is far from the reputation of 6 and 7. It is not as groundbreaking as 123 in the sense of the times, and its reputation is not as good as 4.

However, the system itself is relatively innovative. Dozens of occupations and hundreds of skills greatly enhance the playability of the game. You can freely assemble your own team according to your preferences.

So there are still a lot of people who buy it.

Still, it's clear that people who buy games today aren't looking for Final Fantasy V.

"Of course not, I'm here to buy a new Onmyoji."

A thin young boy answered bravely and confidently.

"New Onmyoji?" The store manager Koji Hirai was taken aback for a moment.

He suddenly remembered, yes, today is the release date of the new version of Onmyoji on MD.

This upsurge comes not only from the cartoons of "Onmyoji", but also from the brand-new branch that Pokeni will promote in the magazine.

No wonder there are so many people today.

but……

These people are really confident.

Koji Hirai looked at the crowd and couldn't help sighing——

Two years ago, the guests were very secretive about the purchase of galgames, and it was difficult to talk about it.

Even after entering the store like a thief, after shopping around for several times, I chose a few relatively normal games for all ages, and just before the payment was due, I pulled out the galgame I had been eyeing for a long time from the shelf and stuffed it Into a pile of cassettes, trying to get away with it, so that no one will find out about my little hobby.

But now, these guys can already speak their preferences very confidently and blatantly.

What happened in the middle?
Has galgame changed?
Or has the player changed?

Hirai Koji thought for a while, and suddenly felt——

It's all so weird about pokeni.

Let galgame produce new categories and new definitions.

As a result, the current galgame love and all ages have increased a lot, and even faintly deviate from the original definition.

……

Once a person accepts his own weakness.

It is invincible.

After letting go of their defenses and tearing off their camouflage, people became calmer.

It is also a kind of happiness and joy to be able to gather with fellow friends in such a place.

Everyone might think that galgame is a bit embarrassing, but when it comes to "New Onmyoji", there is no sense of shame, and it is even very calm.

After all, although this game is a galgame, it is a very classic turn-based RPG.

So everyone said something, and I chatted with each other.

"Ah~ I really miss you, Onmyoji, I didn't expect it to be almost 2 years."

"Yeah, looking back now, it seems like it was yesterday."

"But when I saw that..." A middle-aged man raised his chin, and everyone followed his gaze, only to see a big poster stuck on the glass door of the store.

The top of the poster is cut in the middle by a ray of light, and it is divided into two parts, left and right.

On the left is the male lead of Onmyoji Asakura Yuan, and on the right is the female lead Yuuki Rei in a red and white priestess costume.

On the left is the mountain, on the right is the sea.

The sunlight in the distance came over, and after processing, the picture was rendered into two different colors.

The mountain peak on the left is majestic, with a holy golden color.

The sea on the right is blue and sparkling, making it look cooler.

Asakura Yuan and Yuumu Ling stretched out their hands, holding each other at the center line of the screen.

to produce a kind of——

The illusion that these two people want to be together no matter how hard they try.

Or, the old thief Gu Yuan continued to be inappropriate, and what he wanted to express was his idea. Although the two could be together, they were still separated in the end due to some kind of force majeure.

In short, depending on the direction of your thinking, there are also different interpretations.

It's true that the pictures are more refined than they were two years ago.

Especially Yumu Ling, the image in everyone's mind became more three-dimensional.

"It's so beautiful, Ling." The middle-aged man admired, "But when I see this, I feel a dull pain in my heart."

His words immediately awakened everyone's memories. Everyone seemed to be hit by a bullet, as if they were mourning, and there was pain and regret in their eyes.

"The feud of killing your wife is irreconcilable, old thief Gu Yuan, Xi Nei!"

"Yeah, when the game reached the finale, I wanted to kill the old thief Guyuan."

"However, being able to experience a new plot in the new version today can be regarded as making up for regrets?"

"Well, the key is whether the news is true or not. Pokeni has no credibility on my side, since the last time [absolutely will not send a knife]."

"Hahaha, [absolutely will not send a sword], it feels like it is better to go straight to the sword. People with reverse speed still feel uncomfortable when they think about it now."

"Damn it, if P Agency still has a holiday news this time, then I will be rude to Gu Yuan Chunqiu."

After cursing, everyone looked at each other and laughed meaningfully.

At this moment, a person raised his watch and took a look, "It's already 9:20, I see that the business hours written on the door of the store start at 9:[-] in the morning, why haven't you come to open the door yet?"

"What do you think?"

The store manager raised his resentful eyes and glanced at him.

"Let let, let let."

The store manager pushed through the crowd and walked inside.

However, his strength was relatively weak, so he was held up halfway.

"What are you doing? Can't you understand what I just said? Line up!"

"hateful!"

After feeling the charm of queuing, the store manager became more confident and courageous, and he was no longer afraid.

"You won't let me pass, who will open the door for you?!"

"Nani?! Are you the store manager?!"

The crowd swished and quickly moved out of the way for him.

Koji Hirai quickly straightened his body, and walked over to meet everyone's gaze.

Just these few steps, the whole blood boils.

As soon as the shutter door was opened, the crowd rushed in immediately.

"Wow~ that's amazing! Is this the charm of Onmyoji!?"

Hirai Koji sighed.

……

Furukawa Haoze bought the newly released "New Onmyoji" on MD for the first time

Insert the card, turn on the TV, and start the game.

After entering the game, the first reaction is——

The graphics in this game are really refined.

After all, this is already an MD, a 16-bit machine, and the performance of the original red and white machine is definitely not comparable.

However, in terms of plot, it seems to be no different from the original.

When everyone experiences the game repeatedly, they will naturally speed up their progress with a certain amount of experience. It took 10 hours to play Onmyoji for the first time, but this time it took only half of the time.

Yuki Ling fulfilled her mission of the Izanagi clan and died together with Yamata no Orochi.

The wind and snow are boundless, and Ma Cangyuan is struggling.

In the confusion, I saw a familiar figure silently waiting under a big tree in the snow.It turned out that Cang Jingyue held an umbrella in her hand, held the baby in her arms, looked at Ma Cangyuan affectionately, and waited for his return.

……

Very good, I experienced the feeling of being depressed again after a broken heart.

Furukawa Haoze closed his eyes and sneered twice.

Laughing is not because of happiness, but because of anger to the extreme.

asshole!

I knew Gu Yuan Chunqiu wouldn't be so kind!

Completely fell for the old thief!
This time, I must send the blade to the old thief Gu Yuan!
And at this moment, a line of words appeared on the screen——

【If at that time, I could predict everything, what would happen? 】

【if……】

Ok?
Gu Chuanhaoze raised his head and found that after returning to the main interface, there was an additional option in the menu——

【Fantasy start】

What is this?

His eyes suddenly lit up, and at this moment, Guchuan Haoze realized that this thing should be discovered by Pokeni's conscience.

Click [Virtual Start]

The game is restarted, but this time the restart is similar to the second week, and some props and equipment in the first week can be inherited.

It will be much easier to fight monsters.

After entering the game, there is a line of small words [IF] in the upper right corner of the screen

"IF?"

Oh, Gu Chuanhaoze realized, this is what it means.

During this game, when the hero first landed on Fairy Island, he didn't choose to go to the lake to peep. Instead, he noticed that someone was following him, so he repelled the malicious Moonlanders.

Although she didn't take a peek at Ling, grandma still felt that the two were a good match, and hoped that Ma Cangyuan could be with Yuumi Ling.

Only this time, Ma Cangyuan didn't do anything strange with her on the wedding day.

Along the way, I still met Kurai Yue and Kazekage from the Kingdom of the Moon.

This time, the male protagonist, who already knew that the Infernal Land would collapse, took the lead in taking preventive measures and protected Kurai Yue and Yuumu Ling.

So there is no need to find phoenix eggs and unicorn horns.

This time, it was still back in the past. Although the male protagonist still failed to keep the witch queen (that is, Yuki Ling's mother), he caused heavy damage to Yamata no Orochi.

After sending You Muling back to Fairy Island, Asakura returned to reality.

Several people are intact as before, entering the final battle with 100% strength.

In this battle, the hero's strength has improved a lot. At the same time, Kurai Yue and Yuumu Ling are both in full state, and together with Kazekage Luo, the four of them jointly attacked and easily eliminated the leader Litian.

After the defeat, Li Tian summoned Yamata no Orochi again to fuse with it.

Yamata no Orochi was hit hard ten years ago, and its strength is not as good as before, but it is still very powerful.

Everyone was beaten to the ground and was seriously injured.

At the critical juncture, Yuumi Ling still stood up and rushed towards Yamata no Orochi with a ten-fist sword in his hand.

boom!
A light burst out.

The flood receded, but after the disaster, there were only ruins left in the Moon Kingdom.

The sky cleared, and under the golden sunlight, the Ten Fist Sword fell slowly.

The Ten Fist Sword shines in the sun, but it has been a long time since Yuumu Ling returns, and Ma Cangyuan is distraught.

Furukawa Haoze's heart was entangled to the extreme.

isn't it?
What about the spirit?

Or did it all end together?

Just when his heart sank to the bottom of the sea, he saw the sea water rippling slightly, and a ray of light appeared on the surface of the water.

A slender girl rose from the bottom of the water.

Yumu Ling smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, with bloodstains remaining, but he was still alive.

Seeing this, Furukawa Haoze followed Ma Cangyuan on the TV, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Although I know that this is the IF line, which is equivalent to something in parallel time and space. It is what happened after the hero made other choices, and it is not the truth of the main line.

But at this moment, Furukawa Haoze still couldn't help but burst into tears.

He had waited too long for this day.

That feeling of wounds being healed and regrets being made up for.

"Guyuan Chunqiu! Awesome!"

……

Qing Zhiyuan felt a sudden jump between his eyebrows, and then sneezed heavily.

Seeing this, the little HR sitting at the door smiled and said, "President, you must have done all kinds of bad things, and the players are cursing you."

"Ah bah bah bah, please don't say such terrible things?!"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned and gave her a hard look.

This guy is getting more and more lawless.

"But..." Akane Ayase covered her mouth and smiled, "Maybe someone is missing you."

"Ok?"
