57

It seemed to me that this was the first time that Horikita Suzune called her by her full name, and she even had the illusion that she was seeking to write down her soul in the Death Note.

"here I am."

"If you are still like this in your next life——"

Horikita Suzune glanced at the compass on the table as if she had a special liking for it:

"Being in pain and regretting, or being desperate and regretting, which one do you choose?"

"Did Suzune turn out to be violent?"

"I think anyone who is your teammate will unconsciously have the desire to be violent towards you, right?"

"Okay, I admit defeat."

The moment Kitagawa finished his cold words, he launched a clean combo on the BOSS. Seeing that its health bar was about to bottom out, Horikita Suzune became a little anxious again:

"let me!"

"Your statement really reminds me of that kind of scene where a sidekick character tries to steal the protagonist's first kill and then gets hacked to death by a bloody and violent BOSS..."

Before Ryo Kitagawa finished speaking, the character controlled by Suzune Horikita, who rushed forward in a hurry, was stabbed by the monster on the screen and became frozen, followed by three powerful and heavy slashes.

"He is indeed dead..."

Horikita Suzune was still staring blankly at the black and white image on the screen, but Kitagawa Ryo took away the last bit of the BOSS's blood skin in a few quick strokes:

"pass."

"Why do I think your expression is worse than..."

Kitagawa Ryo looked at Horikita Suzune who had lost her power, controlled her character to successfully resurrect the opponent, and then pushed her shoulder:

"Let's go to the next location."

The two of them moved towards the next location of the game in silence, leaving only background sound effects and silent breathing in the room.

"Has Suzune never played a two-player game before?"

"Um."

Horikita Suzune looked at the screen without blinking. The white light and shadow hit her face, making her look a little pale and dull.

"...Yeah?"

Kitagawa Ryo replied casually:

"What would Suzune do if I died useless just now?"

"Take your controller over and control two characters at the same time. Even if they come up one by one to fight, it will be better than one person being completely useless."

Horikita Suzune answered unceremoniously:

"Besides, I don't like your attitude very much. You can obviously help the team but you don't do anything. Do you stay at the end and be the hero?"

"But it's just a game, right?"

"Games are also competition. The essence of clearing levels is a cheap pleasure of solving problems one by one. If people can realize that the same is true in real life, they will not give up on lazy people so easily and cooperate with them. Being a team is worse than being alone."

"Then what if Suzune is not capable enough on her own? It's like a turtle that can't stand up alone."

Horikita Suzune rolled her eyes at Kitagawa Ryo:

"Can you please stop using this metaphor every time? People are not turtles. If you are not capable enough, just improve yourself."

"Only a fool would not use the abilities he has."

Kitagawa Liang shook his head and asked:

"But how can Suzune tell whether the other party has the ability? Or can you see what kind of ability the other party has?"

"Take this game as an example. A person with advanced game skills can easily guide a novice through it. If this game is put to the test, then he is undoubtedly a capable person, but in reality he may just be a gamer who stays at home for a long time. Otherwise, if physical fitness is tested, he will be useless."

Horikita Suzune retorted a little angrily:

"I trust my own judgment."

"But in my opinion, Suzune just likes to define phenomena based on their superficial appearance."

Kitagawa Ryo put the controller aside and said to Horikita Suzune seriously:

"For example, Horikita Manabu is not good at this game at all."

He smiled at the girl, almost subconsciously trying to touch Karuizawa Megumi's hair according to his original way of getting along with her. When he raised his hand, he realized that the other person was Horikita Suzune, so he could only pretend to be indifferent. Putting the matter back:

"I hope Suzune will remember this after I'm gone."

Kitagawa Ryo stated this.

ps: My high school classmates came to play with me today, so the update is a little late.

ps2: Horikita Suzune's problem will only be explored briefly in this chapter, and the details may have to wait until her personal chapter. The change in Karuizawa Megumi's mentality will be the key to determining the final direction of this simulation.

ps3: Thank you for reading and subscribing. Let me explain again: After the two simulations of Karuizawa Megumi are over, they will enter the main plot. The simulations of the last two heroines will be interspersed with the main plot. I have asked this in the book review area every two days. Yes, very confused.

The Autumn Lies of Megumi Karuizawa: Chapter 26: Another Fireworks Display

"Um...fireworks display?"

Kitagawa Ryo raised his eyes and introduced Hiyori Shiina on the other side of the receiver in a calm and easy-going tone:

"It's probably a day to find a reason to set off fireworks."

"Why did Hiyori suddenly come to me and ask this?"

"Oh, because I said before that I would go back to London after the fireworks display, right?"

Kitagawa Ryo stood up and took out the fireworks display flyer that had been distributed on the streets for the past two days from the table. The date written on it was exactly tomorrow. Two days had passed since the night when Karuizawa Megumi came to stay at the hotel. Because nothing special happened, it always felt like it passed all at once.

"The fireworks display is actually a festival."

For some reason, Kitagawa Ryo himself was not yet willing to express his thoughts that he might not return to London as scheduled. He just continued to explain the term:

"Especially for such a highly social festival, it might be a bit difficult for Hiyori?"

Hearing Hiyori Shiina on the other end of the phone snort softly, Kitagawa Ryo asked with some feeling:

"Has Hiyori ever worn a yukata before?"

After receiving a hesitant and uncertain reply, Kitagawa Ryo smiled and said:

"...Really? Well, you must give it a try next time you come back to Tokyo."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Kitagawa Ryo focused his attention on the black-haired girl sitting opposite him again, and waved to her with a bright smile:

"Good morning? Ringtone."

"Good morning."

Horikita Suzune nodded naturally. If it weren't for Horikita Manabu's commission, Kitagawa Ryo felt that she would never want to be associated with such a problematic girl in her life, even though her childhood sweetheart Megumi Karuizawa had more serious problems than her.

Looking at Kitagawa Ryo who sighed inexplicably, Horikita Suzune also cast a sharp look without politeness:

"You seem to be thinking about something rude."

"Yes, yes, I'm thinking about how I can marry you Suzanne to the Beichuan family. Does Beichuan Suzune sound good?"

"This type of joke only comes across as frivolous."

"Anyway, I won't have a good impression in Suzune's mind."

Kitagawa Ryo raised his eyebrows. For a girl like Horikita Suzune, whether it's a good impression or a bad impression, the most important thing is to leave a deep impression first. At least then she will be willing to have a minimum of sex with you. communicate.

"Why did you come to me today? You disrupted my schedule again."

Horikita Suzune also knows that Kitagawa Ryo will not contact her for no reason. Although the two have established an alliance, so far it is just a superficial relationship. Horikita Suzune is a The girl who was too calm may have touched something deep in her heart during the night a few days ago, but as soon as the day broke, all those things dissipated, and she returned to her original state.

I still maintain the schedule that is so detailed that it is almost strict. I still get up at six in the morning to wash up and go for a morning run. I learn new knowledge and read new books every day. That indulgent night of playing games all night almost seems like it does not exist. After that, it became sourceless water.

"Does Suzune hate variables?"

"Because variability often means instability."

"But excellent talents often need to have the ability to face and solve variables."

"Better talent can eliminate all variables from the beginning."

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at Horikita Suzune, who was ready to challenge everything. He probably knew the specific meaning of "people are addicted to food". He stood up and pounced on Horikita Suzune without hesitation. Towards her pretty face.

Horikita Suzune didn't expect the sudden outburst of Kitagawa Ryo, but subconsciously raised her arms to protect herself. Kitagawa Ryo also immediately put away his fist and clasped Horikita Suzune's wrist, pulling it together. He pushed Horikita Suzune down on the sofa.

"You see, the current Suzune cannot predict such changes."

Kitagawa Ryo raised his right thigh to suppress Horikita Suzune's kicking legs, and said with a playful smile:

"I remember Xue told me that Suzune also learned some self-defense skills, but it seems to be of no use now."

Horikita Manabu himself is a fifth-dan karate and a fourth-dan aikido. Kitagawa Ryo himself has also learned fighting. Horikita Suzune's physical fitness is definitely the best among her peers, and she is indeed following her brother's footsteps in learning self-defense. But in the face of Kitagawa Ryo's sudden attack, she didn't react at all, which made Kitagawa Ryo a little disappointed.

"When people are pushed down, they will try to use their lower back to straighten up."

As he spoke, Kitagawa Ryo put his left elbow directly against Horikita Suzune's extremely flexible waist, which was still trying to exert force at this moment, and pressed it down heavily.

"Well..."

Her face was pressed hard into the sofa, her right hand was captured by Kitagawa Ryo's right hand, and her legs and waist were firmly controlled. Horikita Suzune also let out an unwilling whimper, but she did not beg for mercy in frustration. mean:

"Let me go."

"So Lingyin still likes to define people without authorization. I obviously told Lingyin about this a few days ago."

Kitagawa Ryo used a little more force with his elbow, and it happened to be stuck in the core part of Horikita Suzune's waist. A numb and slightly painful feeling was suddenly transmitted from the nerves deep in the spine to Horikita. Bei Lingyin's brain made her groan a few more times.

"For example, Suzune never thought that I had any fighting skills, nor did she expect that I would suddenly attack you. These are all variables."

Kitagawa Ryo calculated that time was almost up, took a step back and released the restraint on Horikita Suzune, looked at the girl with a blush on her face and gasped for air and said:

"Ringtone still has a long way to go."

"Tsk."

Smacking her lips bitterly, Horikita Suzune rubbed her sore shoulders and looked at the young man in front of her who was always smiling but who had just attacked her unceremoniously and asked:

"Isn't that why you called me here?"

"of course not."

Kitagawa Ryo shook his head and sat back on the sofa. Horikita Suzune on the other side could still feel the softness in her waist. She gritted her teeth and glared at Kitagawa Ryo, and simply sat back without forcing herself. .

"Have Suzune been to the fireworks display?"

Passing the flyer on the table, Kitagawa Ryo asked casually while sending a message to someone.

"No."

Horikita Suzune would not go to a lively and crowded temple fair. Since the festival atmosphere would make a lonely person look like a wild ghost, it would be better not to go out.

"...All right."

Kitagawa Ryo held his forehead with a slight headache:

"It seems that I have to buy you a suitable yukata before tomorrow."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Horikita Suzune suddenly felt an indescribable expectation in her heart, but she spoke without mercy:

"I've already made a reservation to watch Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" tomorrow night."

"It's time to take a group photo. Take two group photos to fool our parents."

Kitagawa Liang spoke carelessly, and he added thoughtfully:

"It won't take long, about five minutes? Suzune still has enough time to go back and read."

"...knew."

Horikita Suzune seemed to want to say something, but then she saw Kitagawa Ryo making a silent gesture toward her, and he answered a phone call:

"Hui, it's me."

"Yeah, no problem, it's just the same as before, it's still the two of us."

"Are you talking about the shop that sells apple candies? Of course I remember it. Hui couldn't finish eating it and ended up eating it for me."
