The strategy game of penetrating the whole line of BE

[Actually, the incubator can change form. 】

Chubby hidden in Hasegawa Rina's backpack communicated with her through brainwaves: 【We are an image made according to the preferences of human girls on Earth.In the case of being hunted and killed on a large scale, most of my kind have changed their forms. 】

Rina Hasegawa ran fast.

She jumped over the narrow stream, her long silver hair swaying in the moonlight, like a sparkling fish tail.The dark school uniform lined her skin.

[Then why don't you change it? 】

She took the time to ask, without stopping for a moment.

The incubator was silent for a while: [... nothing. 】

Hasegawa Rina:? ? ?

She was about to think about whether Chubby had become stupid, when she received a new message: 【It can be changed now.I'll find a new carrier later. 】

【it is good. 】

——The crisis of being violently beaten is lifted!

She doesn't have to worry about how to keep her best friend Cupid.

……

There are only a few hours before the New Year, and people are more tolerant and considerate. Hasegawa Rina easily borrowed the dressing room, changed into the kimono in the backpack, and put on the fox-shaped mask.

The proprietress even volunteered to braid her hair.

Cupid took the opportunity to change into a cat form.

By the time they entered the venue, the festival was already half over.

The crowd was huge.In order to make it easier to distinguish their companions, people wear crooked masks, and few of them are as strict as Rina Hasegawa, who literally writes the word "lonely" on their faces.

Rina Hasegawa: ...

The girl reluctantly took out her phone.

She flipped through the message list.

Those who were on assignments, working overtime, team building... Anyway, they didn't contact her, as if they were too busy to say "Happy New Year's Eve" or "Happy New Year".He obviously asked her about the winter festival.

She turns off the screen.

The hatcher patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

【Go and play, Hasegawa. 】

Hasegawa Rina puffed her cheeks, let out a long breath, and let go of her depression.She was wearing wooden clogs, and she walked with a squeaky sound, which was very crisp.The uproar of voices drowned out her movements.

She savored the snacks by herself.

In order to find Chubby, she was hungry all afternoon.

That is... why are there so many curse spirits in this place?And there was no intention of hurting anyone?As if being manipulated by someone, it was walking around quickly, as if searching for something, so strange.

She bit the ball with a puzzled look on her face.

A figure flashed across the sky.

Through the fox mask, she vaguely caught a glimpse of orange hair and a black suit, which turned into silver and white after a while.It's an illusion... Nakahara is also engaged in team building, and Gojo Satoru is working overtime.

——"Mr. Ranpo is lost!"

Suddenly, a male voice full of collapse reached her eardrums.

Rina Hasegawa: ...?

Isn't the whole detective agency going on a business trip?

The girl looked around hesitantly, but found nothing unusual.She thought for a while, and asked the almighty Doraemon for help: [Chupi, Chubby, have you seen people flying in the sky?Or hear strange words? 】

The incubator was indifferent: [No. 】

——It really is an illusion!

Didn't she get used to New Year's Eve alone?

Rina Hasegawa did a self-reflection, emphasizing that she should not rely too much on her friends, so she heartlessly threw away the food box, stopped in front of a shooting booth, and was eager to try.

After training, she is full of confidence.

Time passed by minute by minute.

New Year's is approaching.

The boss glanced at his watch and handed her a gun.Holding the gun, she recalled the aiming method when controlling the blood, and picked a lucky balloon—pop!

The balloon burst.

The boss raised his eyebrows and signaled her to continue.

Snapped!

pop-

She's basically one shot at a time.

The last bullet remaining.She chose the balloon, put the trigger on her fingertips, and before she pressed it, she heard a long, thick bell. "Boom" - knocking on her heart.

She let go of the gun.

Accompanied by the sound of the bell, the fireworks rose into the sky, blooming one after another, rendering the night, lighting up the pupils of those who stopped and watched, and reflecting each other with the lanterns on the ground, outlining a brilliant picture.

"Your prize."

After admiring the fireworks, the boss stuffed a big bear into her arms, took away the gun with one bullet left, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year's Eve. The aim is good, girl, you have a future."

Rina Hasegawa tore off half of the mask and bent her eyes.

"Thank you."

"Boom-"

The second bell rang.

Hasegawa Rina took a step forward.

Following the crowd, she briskly climbed the stairs to the temple.There is a platform in the temple that can accommodate many people and has a great view.Every year when the bell rings, she will go to the platform to watch the monks ring the bell, or watch the fireworks.

Her wooden clogs are "slapping" and "slapping", and her silver-white braids are flickering, showing a lively temperament.The hem of the kimono fluttered due to her movements, like a dancing butterfly.

"Boom-"

The bell is ringing.

The fireworks reflected on her fox mask, caressing her earlobes and side face, and falling into those blue eyes.Her eyelashes drooped slightly, mottled with brilliant colors, showing a little calmness.

"Boom-"

The shadows of the trees whirled.The winter wind blows the branches and leaves "rustling".The monk who rang the bell didn't seem to notice the coldness, and was dressed thinly.He wears Buddhist beads in his hands, and the gesture of pushing the bell and pestle is extraordinarily detached.

Rina Hasegawa stopped in her tracks.

There are many people nearby, but it is not noisy.

"Boom-"

Rina Hasegawa closed her eyes.

she thought aimlessly.

In the new year, studies... It seems that there is no need to worry.That part-time job... There is no need to go to a part-time job.The bell in her ears continued to ring, and the glow of fireworks penetrated through the mask from time to time, touching her eyelids lightly.

She hesitated.

Do say "sorry"...

The five episodes of BE, the bewildered sixth episode, the wonderful fusion of worlds...Although she has tried hard, but without exception, they are all failed pursuits.A girl's love delusion.

A comic plot that made her unforgettable.

And, empty mobile phone information.

She clasped her hands and looked reverent.

Do say "sorry"...

[This year's New Year's Eve will also go to listen to the bell. 】

[108 beats, it takes about an hour to knock.The picture of Ema passing through the vast crowd amidst the continuous ringing of bells, holding the hero's hand is too romantic... TVT is my ideal love. 】

[My "Ema" will appear sooner or later. 】

- Hope for a new year.

——You can meet my "Ema".

She opened her eyes.

The bell crossed zero, announcing the arrival of the new year.Someone jumped off the roof before everyone else, ran behind her, and grabbed her wrist: "...I found you, Rina."

Hasegawa Rina turned around ignorantly.

caught her eye.

It is colorful fireworks and heavy bells.

And a man with her chest full.

The visitor pointed to his face, raised the corners of his lips, and showed a nice smile.He didn't wear a mask, and his facial features shone brightly under the fireworks, showing a profound and touching tenderness.

"Ema."

……Eh? !

Passing through the crowd, like the protagonist of a cartoon, stepped on the leisurely bell, clasped her fingers in a hurry, the man whose hair was messed up by the cold wind, watched her, and added hoarsely: "Rina."

"I like you."

"Please get in touch with me."

thump—

The final bell was rung.

But the girl thinks.

This is the sound of her heart beating.

Her mind went blank, she didn't know what she answered, but she saw a brilliant arc to the extreme, and heard a sentence full of anticipation and joy: "So."

"Please teach me more in the future."

"Rina."
