My Tokyo Love Game Has Big Problems

Chapter 169 A world with only two people

Do you like this kind of world?

Tamaki Hikaru looked at the "daughters" playing around at the dining table, and the girls who were becoming more familiar although they still had friction.

Tamaki Hikari seemed unable to say the word "dislike".

This is a beautiful vision ten years from now. If everything goes well, maybe I will look like this ten years from now.

Tamaki Hikaru closed his eyes and tried not to let these pretty faces, large and small, interfere with his answer.

"I like it, but I don't need to achieve it like this."

"why?"

Aitaneeti asked rhetorically.

"Because it all came too easily? Doesn't it make you feel real? It feels more like it's because of my manipulation that everything turned out like this?"

Her words touched Tamaki Hikari's mind, and when Tamaki Hikaru didn't refute, she immediately showed a puzzled smile.

"You try to do things that make them like it, deal with all possible troubles, and eliminate problems to make life go as you want."

"But is there any difference between this and me directly making the world what you want? Do you think the process is more important than the result?"

Tamaki Hikaru shook his head.

"No, both are important. And more importantly, I'm human."

"I cannot see everything like a witch. Like you, I choose to escape in such a world."

The two of them are here, but in the original world, a world with more people, what is Hikaru Tamaki's current state?

Is the happiness of self-satisfaction and belief obtained by avoiding everything really true happiness?

"What is the problem?"

Aitaneeti asked rhetorically.

"Do people live to cater to more people and to integrate into more people's world?"

"What's wrong with immersing yourself in your own world and achieving your own happiness? Doesn't it have to be happiness that most people recognize to be happiness?"

The witch's questions came like a tsunami, one after another, especially when Tamaki Hikaru himself agreed with this statement.

"The childish and romantic world of children must be refuted as naive. Does growing up mean that their fantasies must be shattered?"

"Most worlds are too standardized to allow aliens to appear in their worlds."

“Is it normal to turn other people into your own standards and treat people who are far away from the group as aliens?”

Escape, avoid, be alone, refuse to grow, and be immersed in your own world.

This is what normal people think of as a cripple, but it is the common denominator of witches.

Believing in magic and miracles, maintaining innocence and self-esteem does not mean rejecting reality, but having a reality that you recognize. This is a witch.

Even if it is seen as naive, childish, immature or even sick.

But while we are unwilling to accept the cold reality, why not believe in another perception?

There was a hint of sadness on Aitaniti's face.

"Just like the game just now, which conclusion do you believe more?"

"Is it the reality that a girl is treated as a container of gold by her relatives, becomes a crazy and paranoid avenger, and lives in a false family relationship her whole life?"

"Or is it that the Saurons family is actually harmonious and friendly, but they just encountered a cruel witch, which led to tragedy?"

With irrefutable evidence, most people would believe a more realistic conclusion, believing that they were killing each other in order to compete for inheritance, leading to the annihilation of the family.

But there is no ironclad evidence for this mystery, only the process revealed in the witch's forged book, and it is unknown whether it is true or false.

"This seems to make it difficult for you to choose, so let me use another analogy."

Aitaneeti changed her expression.

"If there is one child of the Sorens family who survives because he is not in the castle."

"You want to tell her a more realistic inference. Her parents and relatives killed each other because of their greedy desires."

"Or should we embellish this story and turn it into an accident, or a story like the legend of the witch?"

The kind relatives and friends in my memory may be my father-killing enemy, or my parents were the murderers who were tempted by money and killed everyone else.

Such a cold reality may not be acceptable to a child, no, even an adult.

The closer the relationship was and the good impression of the person, the more painful the change under this situation is, and it is even more painful that the murderer is someone else who has nothing to do with it.

After being questioned by Aitaniti's words, Tamaki Hikaru seemed to understand more that there is not only one meaning of truth.

It's not just a tool for sophistry and steering things in a direction more beneficial to you.

It is more of a sustenance and a hope, used to comfort oneself and help avoid suspicion.

It is also a matter where the full picture is unknown, and more people will think in a worse and more evil direction. They don't care whether it is good or bad or what the impact will be.

Just to satisfy your own need to belittle others and elevate your own vanity.

"You're right."

After a moment of silence, Tamaki Hikaru chose to give in. He really couldn't do that kind of cruelty, viewing and instilling in others the cold reality and evil.

Aitaniti smiled brightly and grabbed Tamaki Hikaru's hand.

"So, wouldn't it be nice to just let the two of us continue like this?"

"Live in this happy world forever and ever, until the end of eternity."

The witch's passionate feelings make it impossible to remain indifferent.

But Tamaki Hikaru still had questions he wanted to ask.

"Why does it have to be me? Is it because of the prophecy book?"

"Prophecy book? Is this the one you're talking about?"

Aitaniti had the shabby old book in her hand and opened it with great care.

"I didn't write this, but it is indeed a prophecy and there is nothing wrong with it."

"But Tamaki-kun, what you saw was just a incomplete version without an ending."

He reached out and stroked the pages, and there were a few more pages at the back of the book.

Aitaniti said knowingly.

"At the end of the journey, the eternal witch Aitaniti gives the travelers who accompany her the key to the tea party."

"As long as you hold this key, you can go to the witch's courtyard at any time and enjoy being with the witch until eternity."

"In the witch's courtyard, there is no pain or sorrow. It is a world of only love and happiness."

After adding this ending, this crazy book finally feels like a love story.

But this didn't answer Hikaru Tamaki's doubts. Is it just because he has the same name as the protagonist in the book?

Therefore, in order to reproduce the plot in the book, Aitaniti must choose herself as the traveler who accompanies her in the Witch's Courtyard.

Until eternity, there is really a wonderful temptation.

But it's a pity.

"Sorry, Mana, I still can't accept it." Tamaki Hikaru shook his head.

"The world for two people is too small. If it were a world for six people, maybe I would be really moved."

He turned his head and looked at Imadegawa Himetsuki, who was holding her daughter next to her. The smile on her face was indeed extremely real.

The same is true for this world. Its truth or falsehood only depends on whether Tamaki Hikari accepts it or not.

"After all, if I stay in such a world, I will break my promise to someone."

"Even if I didn't break the promise from my perspective, thinking that she would be disappointed makes me unable to enjoy such happiness with peace of mind."

Everything in the closed world of two people may be real, but the outside world is also real.

In such a world, Tamaki Hikaru made an agreement with Imadegawa Himetsu.

Moreover, in addition, Tamaki Hikari also has other connections with others that cannot be escaped.

"So, we don't need any new world, just keep it the same as before."

Tamaki Hikaru stretched out his hand towards Aitaniti.

"Even in the original world, we can reach such an ending, right?"

Facing Tamaki Hikaru's request, the smile on Aitaniti's face finally disappeared.

The shadow swallowed up the others, swallowing up this happy dream.

"I do not want!"

Aitaniti's voice turned cold, and her face showed an unprecedented coldness.

“People are the least trustworthy things, and investing your trust and affection in other people will only hurt.”

"So I don't want it, just the two of us. Only in this world, in this world where I can control everything, can we not get hurt."

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and the two sat at opposite ends of the table, looking at each other.

"I won't betray you."

"But you're betraying me now."

Aitaniti stared at Tamaki Hikari. Perhaps for her, wanting to bring her back to that colder reality was tantamount to betrayal.

After the two faced off for a long time, Aitaniti's expression softened.

"It doesn't matter, Tamaki-kun, you can't leave here anyway."

"We still have an eternity to get along slowly, and you will gradually adapt to all this."

The moment Tamaki Hikaru recognized her as the real witch, the fate of the two was inextricably linked.

Aitaniti waved her hand, and the two of them appeared in a Western-style courtyard.

The two of them were sitting in the pavilion, with steaming black tea on the tea table in front of them.

In the courtyard is a colorful flowerbed, in which golden roses and roses are in full bloom, weighing down the flower branches.

This is the witch's garden, the eternal garden.

There is no sun and moon, no passage of time, no life span and pain, no worries, only tranquility and peace in the Witch's Garden.

Aitaneeti did nothing. This closed world could neither be broken from the inside nor broken from the outside.

Her purpose was achieved the moment Tamaki Hikari admitted it, even though she couldn't force Tamaki Hikari to do anything.

But Tamaki Hikaru can never leave here, this is an indestructible cage city.

People from the outside can't get in, and people from the inside can't get out.

"Tamagi-kun, you can do whatever you want, even if you want to do something with me, it doesn't matter."

"I'm just sitting here, waiting for the moment you change your mind."

The witch took out a book and some black tea, sat in the small pavilion, lowered her head, and no longer paid attention to Tamaki Hikari.

Tamaki Hikari fell into the most fatal predicament, and Aitaniti gave up convincing him and just left him here quietly.

Try to get out of this courtyard, but no matter where you go, you will only see endless flower beds and the witch reading a book under the pavilion.

There is no direction, no entrance or exit, and no hunger or fatigue.

Even when he tried to commit suicide to induce changes in Aitaniti, he found that he didn't feel any pain and his body didn't change at all.

This courtyard was so still, and while it was lonely, Tamaki Hikaru was also grateful for it.

Regardless of loneliness, if he were left in the happy world just now, he might be driven crazy.

He doubted the reality of all this and didn't know how to deal with it. On the contrary, such loneliness made him feel more at ease.

Aitaniti should know how to make herself surrender faster, but she did not do so.

Because she doesn't need to be impatient, she just needs to wait slowly.

But Tamaki Hikaru was very impatient. He paced back and forth in the garden, walking meaninglessly.

Several times I thought of giving up, tried to return to the pavilion, and tried to persuade Aitaniti.

But once this matter was brought up, the witch stopped talking and read silently.

But if Tamaki Hikaru wants to talk to her about something else, she will respond naturally.

I don't know how long I walked aimlessly for, but Tamaki Hikaru had already given up on counting time.

He returned to the pavilion again and sat opposite Aitaniti.

"I've been searching for a long time again. Have you thought of any solution this time?"

The witch made black tea for him with a faint smile on her face.

"Or are you unable to bear it anymore and want to continue to vent your feelings on me?"

Although there are many ambiguities in his words, Tamaki Hikaru has not really reached that step.

He wanted to try to conquer the witch's mind by conquering her body.

However, the witch was cunning and cooperative on the surface, but suddenly pulled away at the last step and began to tease Tamaki Hikaru's heart.

As long as she obeys, she is willing to let Tamaki Hikaru enjoy herself, otherwise she will always retreat in the final line of fire.

After repeating it several times, Tamaki Hikaru simply stopped trying. The expression on the witch's face was completely unbelievable.

Although her words can be believed, just like what Ling Shijie said, they are all word games and narrative tricks.

He said that he would never have another conflict with Jōri Jinguji simply because he would never have another chance in the future.

He said that he would not lie to himself, but he never promised that he would finish all the words.

Tamaki Hikaru ignored her, just sat down and began to think about whether there was any way he could get out.

Although the system was triggered once just now, because Tamaki Hikari didn't pay attention at the time, it's still not clear what it was.

Other skills, whether Death Grip, Shura Field, or Harmless Face, have no effect on Aitaniti.

The main things he carried were two swords, several silver knives, the blood of Yachiyo Yayoi, a piece of jade and

Tamaki Hikaru finally remembered something that had been in his hand for a long time without any use.

But is this thing really useful?
