The target of the commission was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long straight black hair and a silly smile, a typical Kyoto beauty.
The school uniforms they were wearing were the same ones that the group of students saw in the same parking lot before.
As for the other photo, it is the little teacher you saw on the right before.
Then Youfang realized that this little teacher was actually a magician!
Not a magician like Sister Orange in his own world, but a real magician.
Of course, the backgrounds and settings are different, and the basic rules are certainly not universal, but what should be novel should still be novel.
"Are you bullying a child?"
Putting down the right side of the photo means I have already given up on the idea of commissioning.
Youfang knew very well that he was not some kind of righteous partner, but he felt that he still could not do the thing of bullying the little girl.
Of course, as a typical face-chaser, if Chigusa Amazaki's target was a scarred muscular man who looked extremely ferocious, the right side would definitely not have any hesitation. Unfortunately, it was not the case. No matter from which angle you looked at her, she was just a cute girl.
I always feel like this group of people are doing something like villains.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want something, just work hard."
It's likely that what the right side said was right, Amasaki Chigusa said a little angrily.
"can."
The right side remained noncommittal.
The party on the right who apparently agreed had actually already made up his mind and would just act according to circumstances.
Next, Chigusa Amazaki left everyone with a talisman for two-way communication and then dispersed on the spot. She said that she would directly notify the right side if there was any need.
Is this really a show of trust in the credibility of the Toono family?
or...
The right arm of the person walking in the crowd shook and swung to the side at a speed that passers-by could not see at all, and then a bird-shaped paper piece that was split in half fell to the ground.
This thing used to look like a swallow, with almost no flaws. If Youfang hadn't played the Book of Origin too much, he might not have been able to discover the existence of this small Shikigami.
It seems that Chigusa Amasaki doesn't trust me at all, but so what?
From the fact that the other party did not pay the advance commission and the system did not prompt to officially enter the side story, we can tell that they should not have triggered the side story node themselves.
So thinking in reverse, could the goal of their actions be the key point that triggers the branch quest?
It seems necessary to make contact.
That night, Youfang and Elquet checked into the nearby Arashiyama Hotel. After all, it was a free activity and Youfang definitely couldn't sleep outdoors.
Well, the money was paid by Elquet, and the right side is still very thick-skinned.
After soaking in the hot springs and eating the legendary Kaiseki cuisine, there was still no call from Chigusa Amasaki.
With nothing to do, Youfang could only lie on the floor obediently and choose time jump after being beaten with a pillow by the energetic Bai Ji.
However, the scene that should have been skipped instantly seemed to have passed for a long time to Youfang. When he regained the light, he found that the scenery in front of him had changed drastically.
This is actually my classroom! ?
I... am dead?
"Teach me quickly~ I know Mr. Liu~~"
Chapter 85 Death Flag
With exaggerated sound effects, Xier, dressed in professional attire, appeared in front of him again.
The classroom in front of me represents that I have indeed failed.
"…How did I die?"
Youfang asked calmly to Zhiliu.
Angry? No, the right side is not angry at all, he doesn't even know how he died~
Besides, he is currently able to clearly realize that this is a game and there is a rebirth system, so naturally he has no reason to be angry.
It's just death, isn't it? If you find the reason why he didn't die, then that's it, right?
"Our little Shiki is still very calm."
He smiled and learned that he would stay and tapped the blackboard with a pointer, and a virtual screen flew out.
According to the setting of this resurrection point, some useful feedback will be given based on the player's death count and other comprehensive data, telling the player some clues to help them avoid death.
This kind of help will fluctuate according to the player's own ability. If the player is a useless player like Fatty Hirano, the system NPC in the resurrection point will provide quite comprehensive hints. After all, the game is to be completed, and dying too much will reduce the difficulty of the game. This setting has been there for a long time.
Of course, no matter how comprehensive the hints are, if the player himself cannot do it, then the NPC can do nothing about it. After all, you can't save a fool with words.
But on the other hand, if the player is good enough in all aspects, the NPC will give fewer hints, because for such players, solving the "puzzle" with their own strength is also a kind of fun that the game can provide.
This is one of the main reasons why the same game can be completely different games in the hands of different players.
Um! Especially those speedrunners! They are not human!
In addition, suicide generally does not provide any clues. Some players whose pain perception is reduced to an extremely low level will even die deliberately to speed up the completion of the plot. The game party that has collected data in the past two days has already added a lot of patches.
It was learned that Liu placed the frozen virtual screen image directly in front of the right eye.
On the right, I see myself on the screen, lying in bed, and my entire body, including the quilt, is completely gray-brown, a typical color found only in rocks.
Elquet, whose body was also partially petrified while sleeping next to him, stood up angrily and swung a claw at a certain being in the window.
The window was completely shattered, and it was unclear whether the opponent was hit on the right, but then a translucent arrow shot in from the window hit his petrified head.
Broken instantly.
The picture also freezes at the moment when the dazed Elquet begins to go crazy and the world suddenly turns blood red.
The picture disappeared, which meant that I had officially died and entered the automatic file loading program.
It looks like it should be a combination of petrification ability and some kind of long-range attack ability. However, if death is only considered when the head is shattered, does normal full-body petrification still mean that the person being petrified is still alive?
Youfang pinched his chin and thought.
By the way, although Youfang can perform time jumps, it is actually equivalent to letting Youfang temporarily log out of Tohno Shiki's body, and then this body spends the skipped compressed time in a normal way, and then Youfang logs in again. In other words, Youfang's body can only come to the morning after going through the sleep stage.
The ability to petrify? Who has the ability to petrify?
Theoretically, the people who might attack the right side include the Dead Apostles who stayed within their own campus and Chigusa Amasaki and her group who we met today.
The girl named Yueyong who attacked him first seemed to be the most likely one, but Youfang felt that it was not her at all.
Because compared to this kind of assassination, Yue Yong seemed to want to kill herself in a bloody fight or let herself kill her.
The little brat named Kotaro doesn't look like him either. His personality and the way he speaks are quite consistent. Of course, we can't be completely sure. It would be terrible if it was all acting.
After eliminating all the possible people, the more likely ones are Chigusa Amasaki and the white-haired guy with whom I have never communicated at all.
Could it be that the white-haired little devil has the ability to petrify people that can even affect Elquet?
There is too little information, so it’s still a little confusing. Overall, the death was a little inexplicable.
Or did I trigger some kind of death flag?
"Normally speaking, shouldn't time jumps be allowed where there's a plot?"
Youfang expressed his doubts to Zhiliu.
"That's usually the case, but you're a little special this time."
"how to say?"
"To put it simply, once the death flag is triggered, the player enters a path that is certain to end in death. In this process, any player is almost certain to die, unless they are extremely powerful, or the death flag is triggered deliberately in advance and there are countermeasures to avoid the inevitable death."
I learned that Teacher Liu's smile at this moment looked like that of a little devil.
Youfang nodded without saying anything.
This is the typical GAL setting in the past. Triggering the death flag usually leads to an ending like Dead End.
As expected, it is a campus romance simulation game, and this part restores the essence quite well.
He didn't get angry because there was no need to. What he should have done at this time was to reflect on which of his behaviors was problematic.
"Do you want me to give you a few more hints? For example, which one is the death flag?"
It was learned that Liu had made a tempting speech near the right.
"No need for now, I'll think of a solution myself."
You Fang shook his head and refused decisively.
He planned to make some minor adjustments after starting over this time to see what exactly triggered the death flag.
I looked at the resurrection time and there were still more than ten minutes left, so I simply took out the item dropped by Bai Junliu from the inventory.
The question mark is unsealed and the object begins to show its true appearance.
It was a small plastic bag containing a few pieces of what looked like small red crystals.
...The smell of danger is so strong.
The right side subconsciously reminds me of dangerous things that still exist in various chaotic places such as bars and discos.
[Origin Blood Crystal*3: A special medicine made by Shirajun Rio who has awakened her own origin using some dangerous things. This thing is dangerous from many angles. It will whet the appetite of the person who consumes it. Well, that's all...
Eating the Origin Blood Chip will put the player into a special state of "big appetite". In this state, any food that is considered a single serving will be considered to have a recovery effect of at least red hearts. If it is a delayed-effect food, it will take effect immediately, and the stomach capacity is temporarily unlimited. All food eaten will be quickly converted into red hearts and physical energy. The duration of the "big appetite" state is 5 minutes. After one use, you cannot eat any food for at least 24 hours. 】
The right eye lit up.
This is a good thing! If used at the right time, it can not only save lives, but also help you turn the tables with your own Book of Origin!
However, the price is also quite terrible. This means that once you use this thing, you will not be able to recover with any food within the next 24 hours.
It's something that needs to be done with all efforts.
It looks like I have to spend the rich woman's money to buy myself some more individually packaged snacks.
At this time, Youfang was eating soft rice so naturally that he didn't even realize it...
The countdown for death in the fountain passed quickly, and after hearing Teacher Liu waving happily, Youfang returned to the game.
However, it was discovered that the person on the right did not disappear with the person on the left, but another window opened, and the person on the other side of the window was actually the school doctor Marikawa Shizuka.
"See? This is the player I'm in charge of! He's so mobile!"
Upon learning this, Liu began to bend down in a show-off manner, and his nose seemed to be growing out and piercing through the ceiling.
On the other side of the window, school nurse Shizuka began to bite her handkerchief.
"I'm so envious! Why is your little brother so brave, while my maggot is so useless! I've clearly told him so many things to pay attention to! yi~~~~~~"
The school doctor who made the strange noise began to shake her huge chest.
The laughter of Zhiliu suddenly subsided and turned into an unwilling look.
On the other side, the right side rejoined the bus which was backing into a parking space.
But before he could come to his senses, he found himself being hugged.
Elquet buried his head in his arms and refused to get up no matter what.
Can't break free...
Forget it, sit down for a while.
You Fang gently stroked Elquet's blonde hair, turned his head and began to appreciate the scenery outside the car window.
Chapter 86 Health First
This time, Elquet was unusually clingy, and the excitement before the last save was gone.
Before, Elquet was running around excitedly like a cat without a leash. He would run to a place, find something new, bring it back to show his right side, and then run out again.
This time, Elquet held the right arm and never let go.
According to Mr. Liu, the most that remains of NPC's memory is in the form of impressive dreams. They do not really retain any definite memories, nor do they have any questions about the restarted world line.
So for Elquet now, she had a very terrible nightmare, a nightmare in which her right flank was killed because of her negligence.
It was this fragment of memory that caused Elquet to stick abnormally to the right.
