Worship the electronic moon and talk about cyber love

The two of them stepped into Ishihara Rina's room for the first time.

The room had been tidied up, and he saw a stack of original paintings on the tablet on the computer desktop.

He walked over and flipped through the clean original painting, which was the original manuscript for the fourth volume of Dark Elf.

Kimura turned his head away and sobbed softly.

Asaha Kazama slowly flipped through the manuscript, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The manuscript paper is too thick.

Flipping all the way down, he saw a stack of four-frame comics on a piece of drawing paper.

The midday sun fell on the four-frame cartoon.

It was a story he had never seen before.

[The story begins in kindergarten and describes the life of a girl named "Rina"]

[The first scene is in the kindergarten. The timid Rina did not dare to play with other children. When she came to her senses, she was already a lonely child]

[The second act is about Rina's growth. Her parents who love each other give the lonely girl solace. Although the grown-up girl is still alone, she has someone to rely on.As spring goes and autumn comes, the girl becomes closer and closer to what Rina Ishihara looks like in reality]

[The third act opens with a smooth storyboard. The howling wind blows the fallen leaves, the pouring rain wets the girl's hair, the drunk driver honking his horn is dead silent, the old lady and the cashier lady are taking a nap in the mall at the door, it's rainy, Rina's parents were walking out of the supermarket, talking and laughing, and then...

The girl watched helplessly as the happiness of a family of three was torn to pieces by a drunk driver]

The shocking scene made Asaba Kazama's scalp tingle, as if he could see through the paper that Rina Ishihara was still standing at the intersection, looking into the distance, her eyes gradually losing their brightness and warmth.

She grew up in this family, so she naturally thought that this family should exist forever, right?

But that day, she knew it was gone.

"In front of my parents' tombstones, I burned some things that would make me sad when I saw them. It's strange. Wherever you stand, the flames blow. It burned me so much that I turned my face away."

"I wonder if contact with them is taboo between life and death, so touching my face hurts so much."

"When I raised my head and saw the lilies my father planted for me, I could only think silently, my father's flowers have fallen, and I am no longer a child."

"My mother said that there must be someone somewhere in the world who can fully understand what I want to express."

"But it's hard for me to even speak."

Rina's monologue in the manga is like a whirlpool, pulling people into the bottom of the sea and suffocating them.

[The fourth scene is in a small supermarket. Not wanting to become a rice bug who eats expensive rice, Rina, who dropped out of school, planned to go out to work. However, her extreme fear of the outside world made her tremble even at the checkout. This situation caused customers dissatisfaction and complaints, in order not to cause trouble to her boss, she took the initiative to apply for resignation, and the Internet became her only channel to communicate with the outside world]

[You read through the comics scene by scene,

Watching her gradually immerse herself in the Internet and get to know Lily Garcia, who has just arrived in Japan, the development of the story makes you heavier and heavier, as if you are watching her step into the darkness and rot quietly until that day...]

The memory scene unfolds.

Asaha Kazama paused while flipping through the pages.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm, and he looked at the content on the comic page.

"It was a sunny afternoon. After rummaging through the cabinets, I found my mother's pickled shrimp paste under the bed and cried all morning."

"The wind started to get colder at three o'clock in the afternoon. I quietly opened the window and looked at the lilies that were falling more and more outside the window. I thought of Lily-chan's promise to the lilies."

"But not only the lilies will disappear, but the grass will also disappear, the rabbits will disappear, and everyone will disappear one day, just like mom and dad."

"Can I help her?"

"The sunlight was a little too dazzling. I was about to close the window, but I saw a man holding a knife and sneaking towards the small supermarket where I used to work."

"I called the police and hurried downstairs. I wanted to shout "Run" to the other side, but I stopped at the entrance."

"I'm scared"

Rina's expression changed, and the boundless fear seemed to overwhelm her. The bottle of shrimp paste in the morning reminded her of the nightmare again. Standing in the entrance hall, she looked at the door of her home, as if there was a scourge outside the door. It's ready to swallow her up at any moment.

Nausea and fear intertwined, and she delayed opening the door.

An unprecedented self-blame enveloped her.

Then, when she mustered up the courage to open the door, she saw a young man walking into the supermarket casually, and subdued the gangster in two or three strokes.

The sound of police cars sounded, and more and more people were around her. The courage she mustered up was lost again, and she hid back in the house again.

Returning to the room on the second floor, she carefully opened the curtain and looked at the young man from a distance.

"The mottled light and shadow cast by the shade gave his cold expression a hazy halo. Looking at it, I suddenly blushed."

"He has a bravery that is beyond my reach. He is like a knight destined to save the princess. Neither flames nor swords can penetrate his armor. He just leads thousands of troops to kill him. He is as dazzling as the sun. "

"Can an ugly duckling also embrace the sunshine?"

"I want to try"

On the drawing paper, the girl Rina bravely opened the door and came to the boy's side, mustering up the courage to become friends with the boy.

The young man smiled beautifully, as if the stains in her heart had been removed, and she could finally go back to school.

Summer cicadas, weeping willows and Tokyo Sky Tree.

School, playground and cherry blossoms in Ueno.

Graduation, holding hands and Bai Wugu's wedding dress.

There are some silly and unrealistic scenes, and every scene seems to be trying to express the admiration and affection for the young man who came with thousands of troops to kill.

On the Odaiba Ferris wheel, the largest in Japan, Rina looked at the man sadly and said softly:

"Bad guy, I almost hugged you."

"and then?"

"wake up"

Finally, the manga freezes in the embrace between Kazama and Rina.

It was a heartwarming and beautiful ending, but Asaha Kazama couldn't laugh.

He never realized that his unintentional actions could be so important in someone else's world.

Qian Yufengjian thought again

At today's funeral, she wore beautiful makeup, just like a bride waiting to be awakened by a knight. She lay quietly in the coffin, was sent into the incinerator, and eventually turned into a fluttering fire butterfly.

At that time, he had no condolences or tears.

He's such a bad person.

But somehow, sadness spread like ink falling into water, filling the room.

A gust of wind blew the curtains.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, don't trust others easily~"

Asaba Kazama said in a low voice: "I am no longer the energetic young man I was back then. The adult society is very cruel. After all, there are not so many great people in this world. Don't treat others as the light that shines on you without permission. ,after all……"

Asaba Kazama looked at Lily Garcia who was covering her mouth and sobbing.

She stared blankly at the window, her vision blurred by tears.

Under a small wooden chair, there were several paintbrushes scattered on the floor, and a palette that had obviously not been used many times.

It is painted with spring-like peach and white paint.

On the window glass, there was a vivid lily in full bloom, standing proudly despite the wind and rain.

He seemed to see a girl curled up, carefully outlining the outline of a lily when she had a fever.

It was a masterpiece given to a close friend by a timid girl——

In this midsummer, when the lilies were withering, she painted it there.

A lily that never fades.

[Simulation ends]

[Comment: The wind blew to me briefly]

[Settlement: You gain minimal science learning experience and work experience. You absorb the essence of "Ishihara Rina" and gain painting expertise and illustration skills]

The images that flowed into his mind kept Qianha Kazama from getting up from the bed for a long time.

After a long time, he opened his eyes complicatedly.

The girl who was sleeping in the coffin had a sweet dream in the comics she left behind, but she didn't realize that the lily she left behind made him speechless for a long time.

Chapter 16 Nerve Reflex Strengthening

"This is really..."

After leaving the simulation, Asaha Kazama sighed.

Suddenly I felt some stomach pain.

Damn Ishihara Rina, why did you do such an embarrassing operation?

I just want to have a good cyber love, and then use the skills of Goldfinger to reach the top of my life in the real world.

Wouldn't it be nice for you to honestly have a non-breakup relationship in the game and turn it into a resource for my growth?

He can be sure that he has no feelings for Ishihara Rina, but...

Emotions were not something he could control.

What remains in the love simulation is just an experience, a reflection that may happen in the future. It cannot touch his reality, and it is unlikely to accompany her into the future.

When he broke away from the simulation and returned to normal, real life, he also knew very well that everything that happened here was just a story, a virtual story.

It might not be long before he forgets these things, these words, and her existence.

but!

At least not now!

Qianyu Kazama slowly closed his eyes, and in a daze, he recalled his short life in his previous life.
