The same table is actually my sick reader

Chapter 77
Wednesday, lunch break.

In the department room of the Department of Motion Research, three people sat opposite each other at the birch table.

"Ciallo~ two seniors!"

Inariyuki gestured with one hand and put it in front of her delicate face, and greeted the two of them with a gentle smile.

"puff……"

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi couldn't help laughing.

"Senior, senior is too much! Laughing out loud!" Inariyuki's smile suddenly collapsed, turning into tears without tears.

Obviously when they were having lunch together, they casually chatted about galgame, and then she said something casually, recently she was playing with the works of Grapefruit Club.

Therefore, Kurose Izumi also asked casually, what is the iconic greeting of Yuzu Club.

Then, she imitated the character in the game - Inaba patrol - and said hello!
"I can't help it, it's really funny." Kurose Izumi shrugged, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

He didn't expect that Inariyuki would imitate it, and it would be fine to just say it verbally.

"It's cute, Inari." Chirei Shiraishi also chuckled, but her words were very considerate and gentle.

And this also made Inariyuki clenched her fists and stared at Kurose Izumi angrily!

"Mum! Kurose-senpai is an idiot!"

"Why are you scolding me?!"

"Because Kurose-senpai is an idiot!"

"Okay, okay, you can scold..."

Adhering to the principle that good men don't fight women, Kurose Izumi gave in first.

Being scolded a few times will not lose a piece of meat, just don't care about it.

He smiles and opens the brown bento box - which he and Chirei Shiraishi made this morning.

The dishes inside are very rich, including hot dogs that spread like octopus, black pepper tonkatsu, fried salmon, and broccoli.

"Did Senior Shiraishi make this?" Inariyuki looked at her bento with sparkling eyes.

"Well, Shiraishi did it, and I will help with it." Kurose Izumi nodded and answered.

"Wow~~~"

Inari Yuki exclaimed, picked up the chopsticks, clasped his hands together and said, "Then I'll start it unceremoniously! I will eat it with gratitude."

"It's too heavy." Shiraishi Qianrei smiled, "It would be nice if it tastes like yours."

"Of course!"

Izumi Kurose jumped ahead of Inariyuki and answered first.

Then, he said: "Baishi, the food you cook is delicious. Even though you have eaten it more than a dozen times, you still never get tired of eating it!"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Inari Xue was stunned.

Eat it more than a dozen times, never get tired of it, and help with it—what does it mean?
Dongyan was just founded. I heard from them that they ate it in the cafeteria before, and I suddenly wanted to make bento...

Based on the above information, Inariyuki came to a conclusion, that is——

"Could it be that the seniors are living together?"

Kurose Izumi, who was originally content to eat a mouthful of food, was immediately swallowed by Inariyuki's words!
He patted his chest vigorously, swallowed the food, and coughed a few times:

"Ahem! Sudden, sudden, what nonsense!"

"Are you really living together..."

Seeing Kurose Izumi's reaction so intensely, Inari Yuki immediately confirmed it.

If you don't live together, you should be able to refute it very plainly, right?
"No!" Kurose Izumi vetoed it.

"Is that so... well, then no. Sorry, I suddenly said something strange."

Inariyuki no longer struggled with the question of whether they lived together or not.

After all, this is someone else's privacy.

After she asked rashly, it was already too much to say it again.

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Kurose Izumi shook his head lightly, signaling Inariyuki not to worry.

Shiraishi Qianrei, who had been keeping quiet all the time, ate her lunch in silence and did not join the conversation between the two.

"Senior Shiraishi's bento is delicious!"

"Thank you for the compliment, it's just as good as your appetite."

She didn't speak until Inariyuki praised her.

Afterwards, after lunch and tidying up, Inariyuki went to the cupboard to get the tea set, and made three cups of steaming black tea.

She has studied the tea ceremony, so she is solely responsible for making tea.

Although Chirei Shiraishi knows it, she doesn't want to show it in front of Izumi Kurose, lest this trait will overlap with Toko Kuchiki.

She will try her best to avoid anything that will reveal her flaws.

The truth is often connected by clues.

Inconspicuous details, overlooked little things...these are all flaws.

"Let's start coding."

As Kurose Izumi said, he turned on the tablet, clicked on a new TXT file, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly.

There are still about [-] to [-] words before the ending is completed. If the speed is faster, it will be completed next week.

After the completion, send the manuscript to the editor-in-chief of the mf library, and then it will be polished there, published on the website, and finally printed into a physical form.

This cycle can be done in about a week, but it only takes two days to polish and release.

Inari Yuki looked at Kurose Izumi who was seriously typing, and said, "Senior, I went back to watch "Youth Abyss" yesterday. "

"Ok?"

Kurose Izumi paused, looked away from the computer, and looked at Inari Yuki: "How is it? How much have you read?"

"I read slowly, and only read two volumes. But I feel that the writing is not bad, and it is quite interesting."

Shiraishi Qianlian took a sip of tea and said, "When the fifth volume starts, I hope you can keep this idea."

The first four volumes of "Youth in the Abyss" are all trivial, just describing daily life and humor.

But from the fifth volume, when the emotions and plots with the heroines unfolded, the stomach hurts instantly!

Especially in the "Eternal Flower" volumes in the eighth and ninth volumes, the stomach hurts to the extreme!
The pure white flower can bloom, but it is so ugly and vain, which makes the hero fall into despair.

He never thought that the flowers he drew would be so ugly and disgusting when they were in full bloom.

And this is also the reason for the original ending, BE!
In the end, the male protagonist who learned the truth and everything, threw himself into the lake and ushered in his liberation.

"When will the caged bird fly?"

This sentence, throughout the whole text, has been talking about the paranoid male protagonist, who is bound in a cage and cannot break free.

All readers are looking forward to the male protagonist breaking free, and are also guessing how to break free in the end.

but--

They did not expect that the final way of breaking free would be so shocking.

"—In death, spread your wings and fly high."

This is the abyss of youth.

The male protagonist is always in a meaningless state, drifting aimlessly like duckweed, ups and downs at the mercy of the outside world.

Shiraishi Qianrei has a very strong empathy for such a story.

Her 17 years of life seemed to have no special meaning, as if she had been anesthetized, and the ground she was stepping on had no sense of reality at all.

One's own emotions are so lacking that they can be disguised arbitrarily.

But no matter how much he pretended, his heart seemed to have a gap, it was so empty that he couldn't feel anything.

The 12 years of living with my parents, the fame spread far and wide overseas, the numerous appreciations, and being called an all-around genius...

These, Shiraishi Chirei did not have the slightest emotional ups and downs, and could not feel the so-called happiness and pride.

She is like the male protagonist in "Youth's Abyss", losing her meaning and following her due responsibilities.

The male protagonist has been working hard to shoulder the burden of treating him and the family that has tens of millions of debts.

She is in order to respond to her parents' expectations - this is a kindness that should be repaid.

The hero was punished for desecrating the love of the heroines, stripped of his emotions, and turned into an emotionless monster.

Facing the heroine's anger, sadness, accusation, and despair towards him...

He felt nothing but emptiness and loneliness.

'An emotionless monster...'

Shiraishi Qianlian recited these words silently in her heart, thinking of a day five years ago, she was also said like this.

The state of mind at that time really fit.

Empty and lonely, completely meaningless.
