"Have you signed up for any sports festival events?"
Because he met Airisa in the evening and agreed to watch her play badminton tomorrow, when Li Wu went back with his childhood sweetheart in the evening, he asked by the way.
The two didn't communicate much during this period - after she made a shocking confession not long ago and was interrupted by Aoi Hoshikawa, she took the initiative to distance herself and tried to bring it up whenever he wanted to bring it up. Use various rogue methods to get through.
Therefore, he wanted to use this topic to talk about that matter again - at least to convey his reply to the other party.
"This is a confidential matter."
She was mysterious and refused to talk.
"Then when you were discharged from the hospital..."
"This is also a forbidden topic! After receiving the latest emergency news, we must return to the stronghold immediately for supplies. Goodbye Xiaowu——"
"Don't make it sound like your mother is urging you to go home for dinner as if you are trying to survive in the apocalypse."
Li Wu held the girl's collar to prevent her from running away, "I won't waste too much of your time."
"This line seems to be what a character who appears handsome but is instantly killed by the enemy..."
He was unmoved.
Realizing that the gag was useless, Guang stopped struggling and turned around like a cat being lifted up by the scruff of his neck. He clasped his hands together and said, "I'd like to ask Xiao Wu to help me practice later. Can you tell me then?"
After looking at her for a while, he let go.
"Then it's agreed that the answer will be given before the sports festival, and Hikari must listen to me carefully."
Guang straightened his collar, took a few steps back, and showed a resolute expression as if he was ready to die: "I will be prepared."
"What kind of preparation..."
"If you refuse, I will invite Xiao Wu to explore the preparations for another world after death..."
"You said it wrong on purpose, right?"
"Do you think you can escape by reincarnating into another world, Xiao Wu?"
"I want to try to avoid things that are predicated on reincarnation."
Although the tone was not serious, the conversation still made people feel chilled.
After watching her go home and opening the door to her own room, a bell rang in her pocket.
Shiratori Mai uploaded a bunch of scanned copies in the club's line group.
[Hoshikawa Aoi]: I suddenly received a series of message reminders, which was scary.
[Rinko Hori]: Is it important confidential information... I have received it.
【Ai Lisha】：【The curious probe of the cat in the trash can.gif】
【Shiratori Mai】：……
[Mai Shiratori]: This is a light manuscript that I have been putting off for a long time. Thanks to my previous trip, I finally finished it. I want you to take a look at it.
Li Wu took a glance and found that this person not only preferred paper when reading, but also when he wrote.
He put his phone on the table and went to the kitchen to heat up the stew and rice from the refrigerator.
The stew was brought over by Yuko after she made too much before - and she immediately thought of the girl next door and the promise.
In order to divert his attention, Li Wu sat back at the table after the microwave oven made a ding.
Other members in the group have already scrolled through several pages of comments about it.
[Hoshikawa Aoi]: I have the illusion that 'this story is adapted from real events' at any time... That shouldn't be the case, right, Shiratori-san? 【Laughing with knife raised.jpg】
【Shiratori Mai】: I just provided inspiration! There is no prototype that can be found in reality!
[Airisa]: This is called concealment...
【Rinko Hori】: Even Xiao Ai can’t stand it anymore.
"What exactly was written?"
Swipe your finger up on the screen until you reach the first scanned copy. Above the photographed paper is written the title of the latest masterpiece by Mr. Mai Shiratori of the Qing Family:
"Back to the Moon".
It starts with a first-person monologue of a girl, introducing the friends she made in the club, including the sister-like girl next door who she grew up with, two friends in the same class she met in high school, and The five of them live a leisurely campus life with the second-year senior sister who is determined to be the president of the school and takes good care of her.
……Um? ? ?
Li Wu read the beginning again and vaguely felt something was wrong.
Scroll down further, and after skipping the foreshadowing and small talk about the relationship between the characters at the beginning, it is the turn of the main plot to unfold.
The daily atmosphere created before was suddenly broken by a sudden reversal. The seemingly peaceful academy outside had turned into a wasteland where evil beasts were rampant. They were just lingering in a temporary stronghold after the apocalypse.
As the plot progresses, the rhythm of the story becomes more and more tense. The protagonist group uses the tools they can find at hand to fight against the invading monsters while forming a deeper friendship. At the same time, the protagonist discovers the secret of the president’s life experience—— She turned out to be the heir to the giant lunar company that caused the world to become what it is today!
"They came here because of me. They left me here. Rimai-chan, you run away!"
The current controller of the company that had usurped power long ago sent a mechanical army falling from the sky to capture her. The injured girl cried on the back of the running protagonist.
"I don't know Marui as a moon person, I only know you as a friend, so I will never let you go!"
Miraculously, the five of them relied on the genetic power awakened by Marui to stop the pursuers and escape. The story then turned into a road movie about finding the backhand left by her parents on earth in her memory to fight against the lunar enterprise.
Overcoming difficulties and dangers, it also shows the natural attractions and daily playfulness along the way after the collapse of the city, mixed with the complicated interpersonal relationships that have become complicated due to the rapid development of friendship between the protagonist and Marui.
"Is Marui more important than me?"
"Please, even if it's just an alarm clock to wake everyone up every day, I want to stay by your side."
"Isn't it... pretty good?"
Later, due to an accident, Marui was captured back to the satellite 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. The protagonist who fell into decadence revived with the encouragement of other friends, and relied on the last hint she left to find what she had been looking for. As a backup, he landed on the moon with a hidden giant humanoid mobile weapon, defeated the corporate rebels, and persuaded Rui, who was trapped in self-doubt, to return to him.
"If it wasn't for me... there wouldn't be any quarrels."
"We have experienced so much together, and it would be incomplete without any one of us!"
In the gradually collapsing ecological dome, the girl opened the cockpit and stretched out her hand to Mayuri, "Only five people can gain happiness together!"
At the last moment before the explosion swept over Yue, the two held their hands together.
boom!
Li Wu punched the table.
Then he started to move his fingers like flying.
"Did the protagonist die in the explosion in the end? Is there really no copyright issue when the humanoid robot that can be clearly seen appears in a grand manner? Most importantly, why did it disappear later?"
[Hoshikawa Aoi]: Li Jun...it's not just these places that you want to complain about, right?
[Shiratori Mai]: It doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t really name it Gundam, maybe you can collaborate with Wan○ to sell toys in the future.
[Airisa]: Mayi, can you say that again? Just that "there is no prototype that can be found in reality."
[Mai Shiratori]: This is just the first draft. The characters will be revised later, and the unfinished ending will be filled in at a later date.
"In the end, what we were shown was only a semi-finished product. So, Shiratori-san, can you explain what's going on with the protagonist?"
After typing the text, Li Wu sent several angry emoticons in succession.
[Rinko Hori]: Even if Xiaowu becomes a girl, I will still like him.
[Hori Rinko] was removed from the group by [Hoshikawa Aoi].
[Rinko Hori] joined the group and copied the emoticon package just sent by Li Wu to refresh the screen.
[Shiratori Mai]: There is no way, this type of work is easier to sell in the industry now. If you change the protagonist to a male, you will be scolded, but if it is a girl, most readers will be upset even if they see other girls being sad by her. Just have fun.
"What a cold reality."
It felt like I had a glimpse of the dark side of the light industry.
[Mai Shiratori]: The plot of the road movie inserted in the middle is also for the purpose that if it is animated in the future, it can be easily disseminated through streaming media. Maybe just cut out a few clips of the protagonist group visiting real-life scenic spots and add them to the sensational BGM. It's a fire animation.
It’s a completely commercial mindset.
The topic only lasted for a while, and then everyone's interest gradually dissipated, and the chat interface became silent.
Li Wu put down his cell phone, washed up and went upstairs to his room.
After reading a book for a while, I chatted with Guang across the balcony. In the process, I didn't touch on the topic that I had agreed to put aside for the time being.
When the hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock, the phone rang again.
This time someone called, and he lay on the bed and pressed the call button.
"Are you surprised by the private message sent to you alone, Li Wujun?"
Shiratori Mai's voice rang in the room.
"If nothing happens, I'll hang up first."
"Then I will keep fighting."
"Wait a minute...do you know how blocking works?"
“Make a mental note of the current number and answer it as soon as you see it.”
"Usually that kind of behavior is called paying special attention?"
After making trouble for a while, Li Wu asked: "So it's so late, is there anything else?"
"I suddenly feel that I can't explain it clearly on the phone. How about Li Wujun, please send your location and I'll come over based on the map."
He was silent for a moment, expressing his rejection tactfully.
"It's past eleven now."
"inconvenient?"
Li Wu didn't answer, listening to the slight breathing coming from the other side.
Suddenly, Shiratori Mai said briskly: "Fortunately, I went to Li Wujun's house before when I came back from Kyoto, so there is no need to locate it, but I am still a little sad to be rejected."
The first half of the sentence came from the mobile phone, and the second half became a double echo.
The girl sitting by the bed, like a light ghost, finally appeared at night. She wanted to say hello to the guest, so she put her mobile phone to her ear and turned around.
She looked like she had just taken a shower, wearing bright yellow long-sleeved pajamas, and her wet hair was not braided like it was during the day, but hung naturally on her back.
The loose trousers cover most of the skin on the legs, leaving only the smooth ankles and the bare feet in plush slippers exposed at the ends.
The suspect, who once again used his superpowers to trespass, waved at him arrogantly.
"This ability is too convenient. It is more and more likely that Baitiao will become a voyeur in the future."
"As long as Li Wujun doesn't sue, it doesn't matter."
Shiratori Makoto took off his fogged glasses, stood up unceremoniously and found a napkin to wipe the surface, "By the way, this sentence can be translated as just spying on you. Isn't that a high score?"
"That's true from an intimidation perspective."
Li Wu got out of bed, "So is it mountain climbing again this time?"
The other party was stunned for a while before realizing that what he was talking about was what happened when he went to his home last time.
"What do Li Wujun think of what you just posted?"
After wiping her glasses, she sat down in front of the desk, pressed her breasts against the back of the chair, and looked up at him.
"It's pretty good. It will definitely sell well."
"I'm not going to publish it."
Li Wu turned his attention back to what he had just avoided because he heard something unexpected.
"Of course I will change it to deal with errands, but let's forget the first version. After all, it is our story. It is almost the same as a child's story?"
"Not even close... Is this what you came here to say?"
When communicating with Shiratiao, he often faces this kind of aggressive situation, and he is almost used to it.
"What did you think of the ending where the protagonist announced that he wanted five people to be together?"
Jia asked softly, "Li Wujun and Xingchuan must have said something recently."
She used declarative sentences.
"Is Shiratori actually a mystery writer?"
This is equivalent to acquiescing to the other party's judgment.
"If it were her before, she wouldn't have reacted like this when she saw my obvious hint."
Shiratori Mai frowned her slender eyebrows and sighed, "Obviously I was still laughing at Li Wujun's current situation of enjoying convenience and was unwilling to move forward. In the blink of an eye, I seemed to have gone too far."
"I will take this as a compliment and will not accept refutation."
"And it's not just you, it's her, Hikaru, even Airisa... I became a member who stayed in place."
"There's no need to compare in this kind of thing."
“It’s probably not too late to catch up now.”
Invisible threads lurking in space create ripples.
Like a replay of the scene by the Kamogawa River, she hugged him.
The part that had just been deformed on the back of the chair received another heavy pressure, and it still maintained a beautiful shape with amazing tension. However, because of this obstacle, it could not completely fit the body, leaving a somewhat empty gap.
"Li Wujun didn't immediately push away the girl hugging him this time. Is this considered progress?"
"Even if it is, it's in a negative sense."
Ignoring his response, the girl lowered her head and leaned on her shoulder from the front.
"I'm sorry, but I can't say it like this to Hoshikawa-san and Wakashi. I can only convey it in roundabout ways."
She bumped her forehead against him, "Even now, I don't know how to express it directly... so I used what I'm good at to help."
"That one...actually I don't plan to continue writing it."
"At the end, the two people on the moon hold each other's hands - that's the ending I want to tell you."
Shiratori Mai took a step back, loosened her arms, and looked away embarrassedly, "As for whether she can achieve what the protagonist declares to be achieved in the future, that is her business."
Her pupils dilated slightly due to surprise, and she turned back to look straight ahead.
Li Wu held her hand that was about to withdraw.
