Finally finished this crappy game

　　Both are on the same grid currently.

　　This also means that the opening speed will be faster than before!

　　Before thinking about it, they rolled towards the grid in front, stabilized their bodies in a very embarrassed position, and looked back.

　　The next moment, the grid suddenly opened, revealing a space full of vegetable oil beneath it.

　　Before the two of them could rejoice, the grid beneath them started to glow red again.

　　How many seconds is this time? Three seconds? Two seconds?

　　Chika was desperate.

　　It's true that she's not far from the finish line, but her physical strength has been exhausted so far, apart from falling earlier, her legs can't use any strength at all.

　　If she could dodge just now, could she also dodge the next dozen grids?

　　Moreover, there is only one winner in this game, if she can't beat Shinich, in the end she will still have to go down.

　　Fifteenth challenge, failed again.

　　"Sigh..."

　　Chika looked at Shinichi.

　　She wanted to say something, but found that Shinichi got up and stood in front of her.

　　"Asada-kun?" Chika asked.

　　Before she could react, Shinichi reached out his arms, reaching out to hug herself like a princess.

　　Wait, why?

　　Chika's face immediately turned red, and she panicked.

　　"A-Asada-kun? Now is not the time to do it!"

　　"I have something to say on the way, now— No time!"

　　Shinich took Chika two steps in a row, out of the grid under his feet, then turned his head.

　　The next moment, the grid opened, and a pool full of pudding came into their eyes.

　　"Wow, that looks delicious!"

　　Chika's eyes lit up, she stared at the sweet sight with dark brown orange caramel underneath, and sucked in her saliva.

　　Shinich glanced at her speechlessly.

　　"Then I will leave you."

　　"Forget it, eating pudding is different from soaking pudding..."

　　Chika shook her head regretfully, and suddenly remembered the situation, she didn't care about being embarrassed, and grabbed her sleeves in a panic.

　　"Wait, why do you want to do this! Even if you lift me up, our burden is still shared by two people, and Grid will soon—"

　　"Look at your feet."

　　"Eh?"

　　Under Shinichi's calm tone, Chika looked down.

　　The red light is flashing, but not as fast as the reminder.

　　She was surprised: "Why…"

Shinich moved forward, even with a limp girl in his arms, he still ran down the runway.

　　While running, he explained.

　　"It's okay to say it's just a guess, it's probably the same as accidentally picking up 20,000 yen on the street."

　　"I accidentally discovered that the way the floor knows 'there are two people up there' is not through cameras or pressure sensing."

　　"But footprints."

　　Chika couldn't believe it: "Just because of this? I didn't notice it at all just now…"

　　"Not really. I've been suspicious since we stepped on the same grid with one back foot and one front foot, but the emergency alarm didn't trigger. It's just proof."

　　Shinich glanced at Chika who was curled up in his arms.

　　"This game has misled us from the start."

　　Chika stared at him, as if in a trance, and her voice was a little unstable.

　　"M-Misleading?"

　　While the two were talking, they were already very close to the finish line.

　　On the floor in front there is a picture of a gray iron door, in the middle of the door there is a very striking number "90".

Shinichi said calmly, "The phrase 'kill each other', combined with the rules set by it, is inductive, making us subconsciously think that this is just a racing game to see who can run faster."

　　"Inhibiting opponents and constantly getting ahead, but if players really do this, they will definitely not be able to finish this game."

　　The grid behind him continued to fall, and he carried Chika to the finish line, stepping on "90".

　　Chika recovered from her wild thoughts, and looked around frantically.

　　"What is this sound? Will it explode? Could this actually be a conspiracy against me…"

　　"It's all in vain, look at your feet," Shinich said angrily.

　　Chika lowered her head again, the number "90" decreased little by little, and finally stopped at "0".

　　The sound of opening the grid stopped, and the surroundings became dead silent, only the sound of Shinichi's slightly heavy breathing echoed.

　　The screen above flashed, and the original picture disappeared like this, instead, the characters "Congratulations on completing the level" flickered.

　　"What?!"

　　Chika stared blankly, and pulled Shinich's cheek in disbelief.

　　"That is it? You cleared the level so easily? No sacrifices, no conflicts, no plots like 'Don't worry about me, you first! Tell Schwarzenegger...'?"

　　"Just wait until someone's cheeks are pulled until they lose their elasticity," Shinich looked at her with gloomy eyes.

　　Chika let go of his hand, leaned against his chest and looked around.

　　"Did you actually complete the level... It's so easy, it feels so unreal..."

　　"I think it's just a waste of time." Shinichi rolled his eyes and said, "'90' is not a reminder of seconds, but a burden, so if I don't save you now, or I'm trying to 'fight' with you. If you get knocked out, I won't be able to pass this last level..."

　　"It's not surprising that many people can't pass that level. Without a bit of luck and observation skills, who would have thought that they would be standing here 'fighting each other' in the end."

　　This is indeed a broken game.

　　As she thought like this, Chika spoke hesitantly.

　　"You don't have to hug, right? It should be the same if you carry it on your back."

　　"The situation is critical, I only used the simplest method," Shinichi said helplessly.

　　"Uh, really?"

　　Chika scratched her cheek, her ears were a little red, she showed a happy and shy smile, but she didn't speak any more.

　　The two of them remained in a hugging position silently, and neither of them said anything to let go.

　　Chika wanted to enjoy this experience longer because it was her first time being hugged by a man and it felt warm.

　　And Shinichi is...

　　His hands were numb and he couldn't move.

　　△

　　Rabbit House.

　　This is a cafe with a peaceful atmosphere, and there are waiters.

　　In addition to the inexplicable game house, the two went to play in many places, and solved the problem of fireworks along the way.

　　After lunch, take a break at this cafe.

　　Chika patted her stomach, put down her coffee cup casually, and said softly.

　　"Ha~ Satisfied, it's been a long time since I had this fun~"

　　"How long has it been since you came out to play?" Shinichi took the coffee cup from the cute waitress's hand.

　　"Thanks for your hard work."

　　"No, that's what I should do."

　　The maid who was around thirteen or fourteen years old, bowed lightly and left immediately.

　　She always felt that the guest's gaze was a bit strange, as if he was looking at a long-lost little girl. The concern and tenderness visible in his eyes… It was very scary, so she should try not to meet his gaze.

　　"Wow, is this what is called a pedophile...I didn't expect Asada-kun to be the same as Ishigami-kun, how disgusting."

　　Chika looked at him as if she saw a cockroach, with disgust on her face.

　　Shinich sipped his coffee calmly.

　　"Don't compare me with him. I am polite to young girls as an older brother."

　　Shinich Shinichi's natural attitude made Chika turn pale and tremble.

　　"Oh, no, Asada-kun looks seriously ill. Is there any way to treat it..."

　　Just then, Shinichi's cell phone rang.

　　He glanced at the call prompt and immediately picked it up.

　　"Rui?"

　　"I? I'm at Rabbit Cafe. I just had lunch. Miss me?"

　　Seeing the smile on Shinich's face, Chika's gossip spirit was immediately ignited.

　　His excited expression hid nervousness that he didn't even realize he had, and she was ready to openly eavesdrop.

　　Shinichi held back his smile, pushed Chika, and responded to Rui's words.

　　"My guest? Nobody said come today. Who?"

　　His expression suddenly changed.

　　"Five... Really? They are already at home... Ah, they are my friends at school."

　　"Okay, I'll go back now, please take care of them...Okay, see you later."

　　After hanging up the phone, Shinichi nodded towards Chika.

　　"Suddenly I had guests at home. I couldn't leave my little sister alone at home, so I had to come back today. Excuse me."

　　Chika waved her hand while smiling evilly.

　　"That is not important! It turns out that Asada-kun has a younger sister, and you seem to really like her…"

　　"Of course, she is my family."

　　Shinichi answered casually, under Chika's gentle gaze, he packed his things, and drank the hot coffee in one gulp, then got up.

　　Chika thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands, and said with a bright smile.

　　"Asada-kun, may I come to your house as a guest? I want to see what your little sister looks like!"
