[Comprehensive] This game really has a problem!

After hesitating for a long time, Yuri still couldn't say the confession. She found that she was facing Akashi's face, and those words beyond the limit seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it no matter what.

Obviously, it was easy to say "I love you" before.

"...it's a bit cold," Yuri lowered his eyes, gathered his clothes with his hands, "it's almost time to go back, good night, Akashi."

Akashi was silent and didn't speak, didn't even look at her, as if in a trance, Yuri stood there and waited for a few seconds, but still didn't get a response, she sighed slightly in her heart, then turned and walked into the house .

"and many more."

The wrist was suddenly grasped forcefully, Yuri paused, and looked back at Akashi who was holding her back.

There was still no special expression on his face, and as a result, Yuri couldn't guess his thoughts at all: "What...what's wrong?"

"I can't sleep." Akashi's tone was still light, as if he was talking about today's weather.

"Uh..." Yuri tilted her head and thought for a while, "Then shall I continue chatting with you?"

Akashi shook his head, but the strength of the hand holding her wrist gradually increased, touching the skin that was not blocked by the clothes, and some cold body temperature was transmitted from his hand.

"I can't sleep," Akashi slowly took a step closer to her, then lowered his eyes to look at her, and his voice became lower, "The reason...is you."

"...Eh?" Yuri was stunned for a moment, the distance between the two had never been so close, she could feel her heart beating involuntarily, as if her heart was in her throat, which made her nervous Incessantly, "I, me?"

Is that what she understood?Or is she thinking too much?

"Why do you show such a surprised expression?"

Just when the atmosphere was a little charming, Akashi's sudden words made her a little confused: "Eh? I just..."

"Just what?" There was a slight smile in Akashi's eyes, "Because I care about you a lot, does it make you happy?"

A feeling of something wrong suddenly surged in Yuri's heart, but he nodded honestly.

"Yeah, you really should be happy," Akashi bent down slowly, curling up the corner of his mouth in her ear, "After all, this is the development you expected, isn't it?"

Yuri's eyes widened abruptly, and he took a step back almost subconsciously, opening the distance between him and him. Akashi still had a faint smile on his face, but it had returned to the familiar place she used to be. A strange and indifferent smile: "Shiraishi Yuri, no, I should call you...the eldest lady of the Shiraishi chaebol."

……what?What is he saying?

"Speaking of which, you should know that Kyoto is my hometown," Akashi's smile gradually faded, "It's just that why the eldest lady of the famous Shiraishi family in Kyoto keeps claiming to be from Osaka, I have never understood this point, Maybe it's to hide your identity."

"At first I was still speculating about your purpose, but you are too simple and easy to understand. Later behaviors also verified my guess one by one," Akashi's hand gradually covered her face, some cold fingertips on her Slowly rubbing his face, "I heard that your father's company has not been doing well recently and is on the verge of bankruptcy, but if my father is willing to help, it will not be a problem to revive the Shiraishi chaebol. Take a shortcut from me, you The idea is correct."

Yuri stared at him blankly, the icy chill spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body, and even his fingers trembled slightly: "You always... think so?"

"Isn't it?" Akashi lifted her chin with his fingertips a little funny, forcing her to meet his gaze. When he saw her wet eye sockets, he froze slightly, and then laughed again, "You You've been trying to tell me that you like me with your actions, but... I can't see it in your eyes, even a little bit."

"However, thank you," Akashi changed his subject, bent his eyes and showed his usual gentle smile, and then gently patted her head, "I like you very much, as for what purpose do you have to approach her? Me, I don't care."

What... It turns out that this person has seen through her a long time ago.

"...No need," Yuri smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and pulled his hand on top of his head away, "You are right, I really approached you with an ulterior motive."

The moment she heard her confession, Akashi's eyes changed slightly, his mouth tightened involuntarily, and even his eyebrows frowned.

Yuri wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word, although it wasn't because of her father that Akashi said, but in the end, it was for her own sake, the purpose was different, but the essence was the same——

That is, she was just deceiving Akashi.

In this case, it is impossible for her to pretend that nothing happened and continue to attack Akashi.

This boundless sense of guilt and guilt after being exposed almost overwhelmed her.

"I will quit the basketball club... the school too, and I will apply for a seat change," Yuri bit her lower lip, which had already turned pale, "Sorry, I won't get close to you again."

She wanted to break free from his tight grip on her wrist, but she didn't expect Akashi's grip to be even tighter: "Do you want to escape?"

"...Escape?" Yuri was stunned, "No, I just..."

"I won't allow it," before she finished speaking, Akashi interrupted her words neatly, with an unquestionably decisive tone, "No escape."

"Whether it's study, competition, or love," Akashi's pupil shrank slightly, and the color of the left pupil flickered. The excessive force made Yuri feel a little pain in his wrist, and then he heard him speak slowly, "I It's impossible to fail."

Aomine was walking towards his room while yawning sleepily, but when he passed the balcony on the second floor, he caught a glimpse of Akashi chatting with Yuri, who had his back turned to him, his eyelids twitched, and he turned around directly. direction towards them.

"Hey, Akashi," Aomine greeted casually with his hands in his pockets, "Aren't you up so late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuri in front of him immediately turned around and looked at him, the hand tightly held by Akashi was also exposed, her eyes were red, and her expression was a little panicked.

Aomine's footsteps faltered, he frowned and remained silent for a few seconds, then took a big step forward, forcibly pulled Yuri out of Akashi's hand, then blocked her with his body, looked down at the indifferent eyes Akashi: "What did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything, I just talked about some things." Akashi's eyes didn't change at all.

"Hey, Akashi," Qingfeng gritted his teeth and grabbed his collar, "Don't bully her!"

"No!" Yuri who reacted quickly grabbed his arm, "It's not Akashi's fault! It's me!"

"..." Aomine frowned and looked sideways at her, as if waiting for her to explain what was going on, but Yuri couldn't tell him that she had cheated Akashi's feelings.

『What are you afraid of? This is just a game. Everything in front of you is just data. 』

『No, they are clearly real “people”. 』

"Everything is measured by data, as long as you continue to clear the level, you are the most important thing, right?" 』

"Is it okay to hurt others for my own sake? 』

"That's why they're not human at all, they're just data, just data. 』

『However, in this world, they exist as "human beings", and live with flesh and blood. 』

Like two completely opposite selves arguing fiercely in her heart, her thoughts have become chaotic, and even her head is buzzing.

The temple throbbed, the sharp pain gradually spread, Yuri's face gradually turned pale, she let go of Aomine's hand, and took a few steps back unsteadily: "I'm sorry... Akashi, I, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll go back first..."

As she said that, she turned around and walked into the house, but after only a few steps, her body tilted, and she fell limply forward.

Aomine was startled, and immediately let go of Akashi to grab Yuri, but a figure was faster than him, and appeared in front of her almost instantly, caught her fallen body, and hugged her horizontally stand up.

After seeing his face clearly, Aomine's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously said, "... Akashi?"

No, he is not Akashi, Aomine can clearly see Akashi standing beside him from the corner of his eye, so... who is he?

The man glanced at them coldly, then turned his back to them, the figure holding Yuri disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the balcony was suddenly quiet, only the sound of the wind howling past could be heard.

The shock in Akashi's eyes hadn't dissipated, he seemed to finally understand something, and covered his eyes with his hands in a daze: "Qi Mu...yes, that person is... Qi Mu."

He finally remembered what Yuri had said to him when he first met him——

That day, Yuri approached him with a smile and said to him: "Hey, Saiki, I thought you didn't follow, but I didn't expect you to move faster than me."

Her tone was familiar like a friend who had talked with thousands of times, and her smile was as warm as the sunshine pouring in from the outside. Even though it was a day approaching winter, Akashi felt that their first meeting seemed to happen in the warm spring. moon.

Ahh...that's right, how could a human be like a hamster.

Because those who are similar to him... are originally human beings.

When Yuri woke up, she found herself in a strange room, her brain still had some dull pain, and her first reaction was that she had changed to another world.

Hearing light footsteps coming from outside the room, Yuri was startled, and immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but a familiar magnetic and warm voice came from his ears: "Don't pretend, I know you're awake."

Yuri opened her eyes silently, and looked at the person parked beside her bed: "... Qi Mu."

"I didn't admit my mistake this time," Qi Mu slightly curled his mouth. He still held a cup of steaming hot water in his hand, and then handed it to her: "Drink this first."

Yuri obediently got up from the bed, took a small sip of the water in his hand, but quickly frowned, and his face wrinkled: "It's so bitter..."

"Because there is medicine in it," Qi Mu sighed slightly, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to her, "Eat it after drinking it."

Yuri nodded, then looked around curiously: "Where is this place?"

"Osaka," Saiki gently patted her head, and helped her straighten her messy long hair, "Don't worry, it's still the original world."

"...Ah," Yuri seemed to be remembering something, and looked nervously at Saiki, "I remember when I fainted, I hadn't walked far, then you..."

"Yes, I was seen." Qi Mu nodded and admitted.

Ehhhhh?what to do...

"Yuri, I'm not going to let you go back." Saiki's other hand also covered her cheek, and then he held her face and looked into her eyes, which were rare and serious, " Even I would be angry."
