Chapter 15 "Scene 6" ...We. Are. Best Friends...
"Please repeat after me, Qin," the robot stepped forward. "I like school."
“I hate [school].”
“…”
"?" "Xiao Qin" raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you continue reading?"
"If it weren't for your magic troupe, with your magic power always coming in at 0 on every test, the school would have kicked you out long ago. So you should be grateful to the school, right?"
"Ha, what kind of nonsense is this."
"Xiao Qin's" magic [troupe] is an illusion type of magic.
If it weren't for this, the school would have been razed to the ground by her long ago.
Just like now, even though she hated the robot so much, she could only move her mouth.
"You're not going to kick me again, are you?" the robot backed away. "Please don't."
"Humph, you're no longer worthy!"
"Open the door!"
"Xiao Qin" swaggered out of the door of the [Magic Testing Room] with his arms folded across his chest.
^
Outside the door was "Ye" with a concerned look on his face.
"Xiao Qin, did you pass?" "Ye" took her hand and they walked towards the cafeteria.
"Of course! Ouch, your hands are sticky and sweaty, don't pull me." "Xiao Qin" shook him off, "Also, why do we have to go to the cafeteria now?"
Ye was stunned for a moment, but finally followed Xiao Qin's steps: "Just now, there was a broadcast announcement saying that those who have finished the test should go to the cafeteria to receive their tasks."
"Then...when will you treat me to dinner?"
"Ah, didn't you say to wait until the [assessment] is over?"
"Hmph, whatever you want."
"Xiao Qin, are you angry?"
"No!"
"Then walk slower, I can hardly keep up with you!"
"I don't want to!"
......
The two ran one after the other, arguing all the way.
"Xiao Qin" had already woken up from his hazy sleepiness. Of course, a big part of the reason was that he was mad at that stupid robot.
......
We soon arrived at the cafeteria.
"Xiao Qin, what are you doing!" "Ye" hurriedly grabbed "Xiao Qin" who had already kicked the robot.
"Xiao Qin" glanced at her, and "Ye" was so scared that she hurriedly let go of her hand.
"Ye," "Xiao Qin" shook his left foot, which was a little painful from the kick, "Don't always care about so many things."
When Ye heard this, his pupils trembled.
"She seemed to have something she wanted to say to Xiao Qin, but Xiao Qin couldn't care less. She had something very important to do and absolutely couldn't be disturbed by Ye."
"Whether or not to let Ye continue to follow me has become a difficult problem."
"Hint: Xiao Qin doesn't want Ye to take risks with her, but she also can't bear to let Ye stay here alone."
"Please make your choice!"
"Choice 1: Bring Ye."
"Choice 2: Give up Ye."
"Option 3: Cooperate with Ye. (Unlocked)"
「Choice 4:......(Unlocked)」
^
"Ye, are you hiding something from me?"
"Xiao Qin", who made the choice to "question Ye", stopped "Ye" who was about to escape from the [Magic Testing Room].
"Ye's arms are sticky with sweat, and Xiao Qin doesn't like it. Xiao Qin's arms are always clean, like the straw on the back of a drink carton."
"Ye" wanted to break free, but her strength was no match for "Xiao Qin". Soon she calmed down and stood there motionless.
"Say something!" "Xiao Qin" said anxiously.
"Ye" still didn't move.
"What's wrong with you? Ye, did they do anything to you?" "Xiao Qin" tightened his grip again, "You can tell me! Aren't we best friends?"
"Ah..." "Ye" raised his head, "Xiao Qin, it's me, it's me, Xiao Qin. We are, best friends, right?"
"Yes!" The usually arrogant and domineering "Xiao Qin" was no longer awkward at this time. She was afraid that this friend would leave her.
“But...but...” Ye’s head began to shake like a rattle. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...Xiao Qin, I’m sorry...”
“…”
"...Xiao Qin?"
"Xiao Qin, I'm sorry, but I really can't say it now. Can you forgive me?" "Ye" begged bitterly.
"... Tsk, whatever you want, whether you want to say it or not." "Xiao Qin" walked into the [Magic Test Room], "Remember to treat me to a meal after the [Test]!"
"Okay!" "Ye" smiled sweetly again.
^
[You have made your choice!]
"Ye," "Xiao Qin" said, holding a plate with only shredded potatoes on it, "You should know that I'm leaving."
"Ye" had empty hands. She was stunned for a moment and then replied that she was not hungry at all.
"Do you want to go with me?" "Xiao Qin" sat in his seat with his eyes lowered, not looking at "Ye".
She was afraid that if she looked up she would see Ye's tears.
She was afraid that as soon as she looked up she would hear "Ye's" rejection.
She was even more afraid that as soon as she looked up, "Ye" would smile as usual and run away.
The two finished their meal in silence.
"Xiao Qin, do you believe me?"
"......Um."
"We'll talk about it later." Ye smiled. "If you don't go and get the mission, you'll be expelled!"
"Hmph, it's a good thing you can laugh!" "Xiao Qin" also returned to his usual state.
^
"Are you new here?"
"Yeah." The woman was wearing a special school uniform and a pair of round-framed glasses, looking like a leader.
But she clearly...
"Have we met somewhere before?" "Xiao Qin" walked behind the woman, and "Ye" walked behind "Xiao Qin".
This woman is clearly the "outsider" that she "left alone" at that time!
The woman continued walking, but became a little stiff and did not respond.
This is what happens when players make a choice.
He Yuezhe guessed that this [outsider] should also be one of the players matched into the dungeon "Valley Fantasy".
"Hush," the woman said, "I'm just the leader here to guide you to your mission location."
"Oh, this is so boring." "Xiao Qin" began to feel sleepy again.
Ye tugged at her skirt and whispered, "Xiao Qin, don't say that. She's going to give us a grade later."
"Yeah," "Xiao Qin" obviously didn't hear it, "I understand."
"Um, I'm sorry, you're not angry, are you?" "Ye's" eyes always met the woman's inadvertently, and she always had to dodge away.
The woman froze for a moment, then waved her hands, probably not taking it to heart: "It's okay, just be happy."
"I will take you to an open space in the valley. Your mission is to find someone and deliver this bouquet of flowers to him."
The woman took out a bouquet of flowers from her sleeve and handed it to "Ye" who was still conscious.
"Wow," Ye exclaimed, "What a fragrant flower!"
“…”
The woman replied slowly, "Indeed."
^
"That's it, we didn't talk about anything." "Ye" repeated the conversation he had just had with the woman word for word to "Xiao Qin" who had just woken up and was still a little confused.
Xiao Qin nodded, indicating understanding. "So now we need to split up into two groups and deliver the flowers?"
"Yeah!" Ye nodded vigorously. "Xiao Qin, do you prefer to wait here or go deliver the flowers?"
"Of course I'm waiting for someone! Ye, have you forgotten? I'm allergic to this kind of flower."
"Xiao Qin" gave her a puzzled look, turned "Ye" around and pushed it into the forest.
"Ouch, slow down!" "Ye" was almost pushed down.
After saying hello, the two parted ways.
"Xiao Qin" was still standing on the open space in the valley, while "Ye" took the flowers and went to deliver them alone.
......
......
"Inspector."
"what?"
"Um...will I have one too?"
"You? Who are you?"
"Inspector! Didn't we agree on this...?"
"Tsk, I don't want to give it to you anymore, do you have any objections?"
"But, I, I..."
"What's there to be sad about? You shouldn't have this kind of thing in the first place."
"Ah...why..."
"Huh? Why? You're a freak left over from the past era. I gave you the chance to survive, and you still have the nerve to ask for this and that? You're overthinking it."
"Inspector..."
“Ah—ah—ah—!!! Inspector!!! There is—!!!”
“Pah—”
"Hey, it's just a fall, don't play dead."
"No, ouch."
"What a burden! I don't know why 'it' insisted on having you here! It's just a small matter, don't even think about it. With someone like you, who would dare to take you to do something big in the future?"
"Hey, hurry up and get up! Time waits for no one!"
"What do you mean—ah—!"
“…disgusting.”
“Pah—”
"Xiao Qin" lay on the tree, quietly watching the middle-aged man below pick up the thin boy's body with money between them and throw it into the open space.
And the boy's soul, no, could it be that this boy also has magic? !
"Xiao Qin" saw a person who looked exactly like the dead boy standing next to the man. He picked up a piece of mud from the ground and threw it at the man, then ran away quickly!
The man clapped his hands, shook off the dirt, and turned to walk into the woods.
Seeing this, "Xiao Qin" quickly used the [Troublemaker] to virtualize several flying eagles, letting them swoop down from mid-air to eat the boy's body, and then jumped lightly from the tree and chased after the boy who was transparent in the eyes of ordinary people!
"Hey, stop!"
"Xiao Qin" used the [theater troupe] to create a lot of obstacles and quickly caught up with the boy.
The boy was so thin that Xiao Qin could even touch his bones covered by skin.
"Ah——" the boy screamed and fell into the mud pit, "Ah——Ah——"
"I'm here to help you!" "Xiao Qin" held down the boy who was fighting on the ground, trying to calm him down.
"The boy doesn't seem to be able to speak. He keeps resisting Xiao Qin. What method should I use to make him quiet down?"
"Please make your choice!"
"Choice 1: Suppress with force."
"Choice 2: Gentle persuasion."
「Choice 3:......(Unlocked)」
He Yuezhe thought about it and decided to "persuade gently".
The plot here seems to overlap with the first plot of "Strange Sounds in the Valley". He Yuezhe remembered that the fighting power of this "transparent boy" was actually not low. With the illusion-type magic troupe of "Xiao Qin", it should be difficult to suppress him directly.
......
So by the time the boy finally calmed down, the sunset was almost setting.
The two of them finished a virtual meal.
"Xiao Qin" used the [theater troupe] to create another heavy rain, and the raindrops were warm.
She gave the boy a good bath, and he finally looked like a human being.
The woman gave them the task of delivering flowers to the middle-aged man and finding the boy.
"Xiao Qin had finished everything, and the boy was even fast asleep. But Ye, who had gone to deliver the flowers, hadn't returned yet. Xiao Qin decided to go look for her in the woods."
......
"Ye? Ye! Where are you?!" "Xiao Qin" carried the sleeping boy on his back and walked deep into the woods.
"Xiao Qin?" Ye's voice came from the right. "Is that you, Xiao Qin?"
"Have you completed your mission? What took you so long?" "Xiao Qin" hurried over.
Ye smiled and followed Xiao Qin out of the woods. "Yeah! Nothing much. I saw some wildflowers on the way and wasted a while. Let's go back soon, shall we?"
"good."
^
The two were walking in the woods, and "Xiao Qin" took the wrong path several times. Fortunately, "Ye" still remembered, otherwise the three of them would probably have gotten lost.
"Actually, Xiao Qin did it on purpose, but Ye told her it couldn't be too obvious. Okay, Xiao Qin admitted that her plan wasn't very mature."
"Xiao Qin, have you really made up your mind?" "Ye" lowered his head and put away his smile.
"Xiao Qin" also slowed down her pace. Every time she talked about this matter, her voice was always less cheerful than usual: "Yes, Ye, once you make a decision, don't regret it. If you keep doing this, how can you fulfill your wish?"
"Xiao Qin, will you help me?"
"Then when-"
"Bang--"
"Xiao Qin" was suddenly hit hard on the head. Her health was actually not very good. She had been carrying the boy all the way and was already feeling dizzy.
She lost her strength and fell straight into the mud. The boy was so scared that he stood up from behind her.
"Ye gently turned Xiao Qin over with her trembling hands."
"Why are you——?" It was the voice of [Neutral].
"I need her...Ye...believe me...I will..." It was the voice of the [good guy]...no, it was the voice of the [bad guy].
"Get out of here, get out of here!" [Neutral] hugged himself, "I won't allow anyone to hurt her! Not even you!" [Neutral]'s voice became very clear.
"You...?! I thought... but I didn't expect... it was useless...!" The [bad guy] yelled at the [neutral].
The [bad guy]'s voice was a little vague and was getting farther and farther away from him.
"oh."
"Xiao Qin finally remembered it again."
