Before, she wouldn't have thought much about it.

But now, it was as if all the events and details were being pieced together bit by bit like pieces of a puzzle, almost presenting the complete truth before her eyes.

But this truth seems to be missing the most important piece, which makes people feel anxious and almost crazy.

Karuizawa Megumi suddenly recalled the days after she dropped out of Tokyo High School. After Kitagawa Ryo dropped out, she also chose to drop out without hesitation.

But Karuizawa Megumi never found Ryo Kitagawa again. She spent almost all her time on a train traveling around the city. She spent all her concentration by the train window searching for every person in the city. In the corner, from the starting point to the end point, from the rising dawn to the flashing neon lights, I look forward to that figure... suddenly breaking into my eyes.

And now, through the car window, she saw hundreds of people of all kinds. Some of them were happy, with bright smiles, some were sad, with tears streaming down their faces, some were parting, and some happened to meet again.

The girl sitting by the rear window lowered her head slightly, inhaled gently, her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, the sour pain started from her heart and spread little by little. Karuizawa Megumi curled up in her seat Her long and slender legs buried her head in her knees.

People actually have such a self-shielding subconscious mind. They often don't want to think about things that are truly fearful and painful to the extreme, let alone bring them up, because every time they think about it, they have to experience the pain all over again, just like taking... The sharp knife opened the scabbed wound again.

The scenes of that day were like barbs in my heart, stuck in my flesh and unable to be pulled out.

The splendid drone performance as brilliant as fireworks, the hug on the rooftop, and the brilliant night view of the entire school are all set against it——

The person involved is not a confession by himself.

The scenery outside the car window quickly pulled out a blur of light and shadow, just like the thoughts and memories tracing back in Karuizawa Megumi's mind.

But in the end, all that was left in my mind was a simple thought:

She was going to make it clear to Kitagawa Ryo, even if it meant explaining what she had been hiding.

Even if she hasn't even thought about how she should feel, what expressions she should use, and what words she should say when she really sees the other person.

But she doesn't care about this at all, she just wants to see each other simply, at least...

Make it clear what you like.

The taxi stopped near Kitagawa's house. The right door was opened quickly. It seemed that the action was a little hasty and made a somewhat obvious sound. Karuizawa Megumi, who was wearing a dark red performance costume, hurriedly got out of the door.

She had just been rehearsing in the troupe, but after receiving the news from Kushida Kikyo, she immediately took leave from the troupe leader and ran directly to Kitagawa Ryo's home.

After all, apart from school, theater troupe and home, Kitagawa Ryo has hardly been to other places in these years.

As soon as she got out of the car, Karuizawa Megumi ran towards the floor where Kitagawa Ryo was on, carrying her gorgeous skirt which was a little too long and hampering her movement, and a pair of small round-toed leather shoes.

When she came to the door, she took out the door key from the small bag she carried with her. Kitagawa Ryo had already given Karuizawa Megumi the spare key to her home, but usually she just liked to let Kitagawa Ryo open the door for her.

He opened the lock quickly and pushed the door open. Karuizawa Megumi, who had already made the most pessimistic plan, saw Ryo Kitagawa, whom she had longed for, lying on the wooden floor with a pale face, motionless, as if asleep. Looks like it's gone.

Karuizawa Megumi took a few steps in a hurry, and even almost fell. He immediately came to squat in front of Kitagawa Ryo, and touched Kitagawa Hiro's forehead with his soft, slightly cold hands:

"Liang, what's wrong? Are you sick? Don't scare me."

Feeling that the warmth from her palm was not hot, Karuizawa Megumi breathed a sigh of relief at first. Just when she was about to carry Kitagawa Hiroshi to the bed, she met his slowly opening eyes.

It's as deep and dark as ever, like a black hole, as if no amount of emotion will make waves.

"It's okay... I just feel a little uncomfortable. I must have caught a cold recently. Why is Hui here?"

"Oh, I must have forgotten to say hello to the drama department when I left. My phone's battery is dead. There's nothing I can do."

Kitagawa Ryo's voice was also a little erratic. He had just finished cleaning up the wound on his hand, but maybe it was because his head had been soaked in cold water for too long that he suddenly fell to the ground. He simply planned to rest on the spot for a while, but he didn't expect it to happen. I met Karuizawa Megumi coming in.

"I told you not to tire yourself out. Are you thinking that no one will look at you as soon as I leave?"

Seeing that Kitagawa Ryo was fine, Karuizawa Megumi finally felt relieved. A doting smile appeared on her delicate face, which was lightly made up because she was attending the rehearsal.

Her heart finally settled in her stomach, as long as nothing happened to Beichuan Ryo.

"Would you like to go lie down on the bed?"

"No... the quilt Hui bought me last time was too big and too soft. It felt like I was going to be swallowed when I fell asleep. The hardness of the floor is just right."

Kitagawa Ryo couldn't even move a finger now, so he refused in a low voice.

"It's too cold on the floor. How about I spread a quilt for you to lie down on?"

"Don't be willful."

Karuizawa Megumi had no choice but to coax Kitagawa Ryo along with his words. For some reason, when she communicated with Kitagawa Ryo in this state, a small sense of satisfaction and happiness always emerged in her heart.

"oh."

Kitagawa Ryo stood up unsteadily, and after Karuizawa Megumi roughly spread the silk quilt on the bed to the ground, he fell down on it again.

"Hui, I want to take a nap."

After tossing himself for a long time, Kitagawa Ryo also felt tired.

This may be incomprehensible to others, but he is really afraid and afraid that everything he has now is false.

It was as if the next time he opened his eyes, he would still wake up in that cramped basement.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it."

Karuizawa Megumi just sat next to Kitagawa Ryo and replied.

She held his hand. Karuizawa Megumi's hand was slightly smaller than Kitagawa Ryo's. The small hand that could easily slip into her palm seemed to be damaged as long as a little force was applied. Melting and disappearing like snow.

But it's very warm, and you can even feel a little bit hot.

The usually expressionless face only relaxes slightly when sleeping, returning to a stable expression commensurate with his age. Under the light bangs, the dark eyes finally closed.

"The wound on my hand was accidentally scratched just now."

Kitagawa Ryo explained this abruptly, and Karuizawa Megumi nodded and hummed softly.

"Don't be so careless and hurt yourself in the future, and don't play disappear."

Karuizawa Megumi seemed to want to flick Kitagawa Ryo on the forehead as a warning, but in the end she just ticked his nose.

"I would be worried and, of course, a little bit angry."

"If Ryo does something stupid, I will still be angry. Maybe Ryo doesn't like it, maybe he will hate me. What's more, I am not a perfect person myself, and I will do wrong things sometimes. To be honest Yes, I am certainly not a big shot who can scold you."

But, even so.

"I will always be with Liang."

"Ok, I know."

Kitagawa Ryo leaned his head in the direction of Karuizawa Megumi, and he answered clearly for the first time.

If a girl like Karuizawa Kei is allowed to achieve happiness, the current Ryo Kitagawa can do it.

However, he can also detect other people's thoughts.

If he wants to respond to everyone's wishes, he is not qualified now.

He squeezed Karuizawa Megumi's hand tightly, feeling a slight tingling sensation from the bandaged wound on his palm.

In the quiet environment, you can even hear Karuizawa Megumi's even breathing and heartbeat clearly.

This is reality.

Confusion and worries all disappear.

The goal we should move forward has been determined, and what lies before us is an endless wilderness.

That's enough.

What we have to do now is to follow that path and reach the future we should reach one day.

Let the consciousness sink into your head.

[Life Restart Simulator]

[Every time you perform a life simulation, five talents will be randomly selected. The talent levels are divided into five levels: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. After each simulation, players can choose a talent to solidify and keep it until the next time. During a simulation. ]

[Chapter: Horikita Suzune's Midwinter Dream]

[The first simulation of this chapter will be carried out next. ]

[Talents are being randomly selected]

ps: This chapter can be regarded as Ryo's harem declaration. This is also the first time that the protagonist has a clear purpose and sets a goal for himself.

ps2: Thank you all for reading and subscribing. I originally picked a chapter of Sakayanagi Arisu's picture to be the cover, but then I remembered that the next chapter will be a few simulation chapters of Horikita Suzune, so I decided to forget it and see if I can Find a picture of a ringtone.

I recommend a book written by a very close friend, LOL plus Elden's Ring. If you are interested, you can read it: "Ring of Ring, I Have a Hero Simulator"

Main plot: Kitagawa Ryo's strength supremacy classroom: Chapter 19: Horikita Suzune's rescue plan (not)

[Talent extraction completed]

[Seven talents have been selected for players, as follows:]

[Photographic memory (gold): Your memory has almost reached the limit of human beings (go and study liberal arts as soon as possible)]

[Three Relatives and Six Dependents (Gold): You have an apparent biological relationship with the heroine of this chapter (please confirm the specific relationship after entering the simulation)]

[Master Chef (Purple): Your cooking skills are among the best among your peers (to conquer a person, conquer her stomach first)]

[Ability to carry the cauldron (purple): Your physical fitness is quite excellent (you can support yourself even if you are moving bricks on a construction site)]

[Eagle Eye (Purple): You have superb vision and can detect more details (please do not use it for peeping)]

[Pianist (Purple): You play the piano very well (but you didn't meet the beautiful violin girl)]

[Abandoned Son (Green): You don't know who your parents are, but maybe one day they will find you (wait and have hope)]

[Players are asked to choose solidification talents]

[Currently, players have a total of fifteen solidified talents, namely: Heavenly Bamboo Horse (gold), Unforgettable (gold), Persistence (gold), Grand Master (gold), Trickster (gold), Super Detective (gold)]

[Speaker (Purple), Self-powerful without anger (Purple), Crowd-pleased (Purple), Big shit shovel (Purple), Fighter (Purple), Photographer (Purple)]

[Well-read (blue), small assets (blue), like each other (blue)]

"Removing the bamboo horse from heaven, unforgettable and congenial love."

The goal of clearing the third chapter will definitely be related to Horikita Suzune. When you already know the opponent's heart, you only need to remove all the uncertain factors, and it should not be difficult to clear the level.

While thinking about it, Kitagawa Ryo carefully selected the talents to bring into the simulation. Different from the previous two chapters, he now knew Horikita Suzune thoroughly, and among the talents extracted, there were also [Three Relatives and Six Dependents] , which means Kitagawa Ryo no longer needs to use other talents to establish contact with Horikita Suzune.

He didn't want to see the talent of Unforgettable God get him another engagement.

In fact, Kitagawa Ryo himself doesn't care much about the initial talent drawn this time. After clearing the game in the past two times, his solidified talent column has accumulated a lot of golden talents. As long as the initial talent does not hold him back, he can rely on his own Solidification talent is enough to pass the level.

And although the quality of the initial talents this time is not that outstanding, there are no excessive highlights. Except for the green talent of [Abandoned Son], the other talents are still practical.

After all, Kitagawa Ryo doesn't have any talent refresh cards in his current warehouse. If he encounters a bad talent again, he won't even have the ability to replace it.

Moreover, he also has two very practical props in his hand.

[Ichinose Honami's self: Before each simulation starts, the qualities of three of them are randomly upgraded (golden talents cannot be upgraded, including initial talents and solidified talents)]

[Karuizawa Megumi's Self: Before each simulation starts, randomly upgrade a talent to the highest golden level]

[Talent selection is completed, the effect of the prop "Ichinose Honami's Self" is activated, and talents are being randomly selected for upgrade]

[Talented Chef Master (Purple) has been upgraded to Chef God (Gold)]

[God of Cooking (gold): Your cooking skills have reached the pinnacle level (cooking that shines)]

[The talent that attracts everyone (purple) has been upgraded to unparalleled (gold)]

[Unparalleled in the world (gold): Your appearance is the most perfect work of the Creator (made by Nuwa herself)]

[The talent Big Shit Shoveler (purple) has been upgraded to Firefly (gold)]

[Firefly (gold): The average lifespan of a cat is ten to twelve years, but Firefly will always be with you (please shovel shit for this little ancestor for the rest of your life)]

[The effect of the prop "Karuizawa Megumi's Self" is activated, and talents are being randomly selected for upgrade]

[The Talent Abandoned Child (Green) has been upgraded to the Rich Family's Lost Pearl (Gold)]

[The legacy of a wealthy family (gold): You don't know who your parents are, but maybe one day they will find you (and then go back to inherit the family business)]

"...this."

Kitagawa Ryo had obvious mood swings for the first time. He twitched his lips, but in the end he could only choose to confirm.

[All player talents have been selected]

[Photographic memory (gold), Three relatives and six dependents (gold), Persistence (gold), Grand Master (gold), Fraudster (gold), God of Cooking (gold), Unparalleled in the world (gold), Super Detective (gold) , Xigu (golden), Yingying (golden), the legacy of a wealthy family (golden)]

[Powerful to carry the cauldron (purple), eagle eye (purple), speaker (purple), not angry and self-powerful (purple), fighter (purple), photographer (purple), pianist (purple)]

[Well-read (blue), small assets (blue)]
