Chapter 0976: The Inconspicuous Male Protagonist (Part 1)



"I've already said it, I'm fine, don't worry about me so much."

Ying Lili stretched and looked at the people in front of her with a smile.

"Look, I came out fine, didn't I? And my dad and mom asked the doctor to check me out. Apart from the fact that I need to improve my nutrition and exercise, I don't have any other problems."

"But... that's a death game..."

After hearing Eriri's answer, a boy with glasses and ordinary appearance standing in front of the bed spoke worriedly.

"And you haven't woken up for two years... We don't know what happened in that game..."

"Well... I was really scared at the beginning, and I encountered some terrible things, but I also met a lot of good people. Besides, I'm a member of the strategy team! My companions and I cleared all 100 floors by ourselves and killed the final boss before we got out. Facing the heroes who returned victoriously, shouldn't you praise me for being awesome? I'm one of the heroes who saved thousands of players?"

"This style of charging forward really suits you, Sawamura-san."

Hearing this, the girl with long black hair and black stockings standing on the other side also sighed, while Eriri smiled and made a V-sign to her.

"Of course. How about you write my story into a novel? I can allow you to make artistic changes to me. Although I'm not the best, I'm at least in the top three... No, if you exclude those perverts like Asuna and Yuki... I can at least be in the top ten!"

"But looking at you lying on the bed, it's really not convincing."

"That's what you said, Kasumigaoka Utaha! When I recover, I will let you see my abilities with your own eyes...ah, why are there no three-dimensional maneuvers in the real world!"

Eriri has really changed a lot...

Listening to the familiar quarrel between the two, Kato Megumi, who was sitting in the corner silently peeling an apple, watched the scene in front of her in silence.

Two years have passed since Eriri entered the Death Game. But...

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi couldn't help but glance at Aki Tomoya, who was wearing glasses and standing in front of the bed. She still remembered how anxious Aki-kun was when he learned about Eriri's condition, and even recklessly wanted to enter the game himself.

And after that...the relationship between the three of them slowly changed.

Kato Megumi likes Aki Tomoya, but Aki Tomoya has never responded to her feelings directly. Kato Megumi is also very aware of this. In Aki-kun's heart, there is still a place for Eriri. He is such an indecisive man. Kato Megumi does not hate Aki Tomoya for this, but... even she has a limit to her tolerance.

Two years have passed since then.

Although the three of them often visited Eriri who was lying in bed during the past two years, Tomoya Aki never confessed his feelings to Kato Megumi again. Of course, Kato Megumi could understand Tomoya Aki's thoughts, and so did she. Kato Megumi was not unaware of Eriri's feelings for Tomoya Aki, and it could even be said that half of the reason why Eriri was involved in this death game was their responsibility.

Perhaps because of this, Amiya-kun has been keeping his distance from me since then.

But what exactly does An Yi-kun think?

Does he intend to restore the ambiguous relationship between the four of them as before?

“Boom boom boom.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Kato Megumi also stood up.

"I'll open the door."

After saying this, Kato Megumi walked to the door of the ward, secretly curious about who would come to see Eriri at this time. Eriri's parents also come every day, but not at this time. Could it be Eriri's classmates?

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi opened the door, but to her surprise, the person standing outside the door was a strange man.

"Who are you……"

Looking at the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes in front of her, Kato Megumi was stunned, and the other party was also stunned for a moment when he saw Kato Megumi, and then he smiled.

"Hello, is this Eriri's ward?"

“Ah, yes…”

The man's voice was very soft and full of charm, and with his good looks, even Kato Megumi, who was usually calm, blushed and nodded quickly.

"Excuse me, are you ..."

"My name is Fang Zheng. I'm here to visit Ying Lili. Are you...her classmate?"

"Yes, my name is Kato Megumi, please give me your guidance."

Feeling the gaze of the man in front of her, Kato Megumi felt her heart beating violently for a few times. This was a very rare thing for her, so Kato Megumi was at a loss for a moment. She immediately stepped aside and walked into the ward with Fang Zheng.

"Hui, who is here...Mr. Fang Zheng!"

At this moment, Eriri was curiously sticking her head towards the door. After seeing Fang Zheng coming in with Kato Megumi, Eriri immediately shouted with joy. Then she jumped off the bed in her pajamas and threw herself into Fang Zheng's arms.

"It's really Mr. Fang Zheng! How did you know I was here? I must be dreaming!"

"You seem to be in high spirits."

Looking at Ying Lili in his arms, Fang Zheng smiled and stroked Ying Lili's hair. Ying Lili raised her head and smiled at Fang Zheng.

"Of course, I'm recovering very well. By the way, Mom and Dad will be here soon. How about we go out for dinner together?"

Seeing this scene, Kato Megumi, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Aki Tomoya were all stunned. They had known Eriri for such a long time, but this was the first time they saw her being so affectionate in front of another man. Aki Tomoya, in particular, had a black question mark on his face. He and Eriri grew up together, but he never knew that she had any family members like cousins, and...

"Sawamura-san? Who is this?"

At this time, it was Kasumigaoka Utaha who first asked curiously. After hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Eriri left Fang Zheng's arms, then giggled, gave Kasumigaoka Utaha a provocative look with a smug look, and then answered word by word.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet. His name is Fang Zheng. He is the president of the Dark Moon Sword Guild that I joined in that game. It was he who led us to complete the game, and that's why we were able to return to this world so quickly, okay?"

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially Amaki Tomoya. For some reason, when he saw Eriri throwing herself into Fang Zheng's arms just now, he always felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart. But now it sounds like Eriri should regard this person as her savior...

However, at this moment, Tomoya Aki found that Eriri looked at him with a smile, and then she spoke again.

"And... Mr. Fang Zheng, he's still my boyfriend?"

"Why……?"

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned.
