Chapter 155 The Second Player
[501 Where are you? My wife hasn't shown up in a few words. Can he catch up?! Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent]
[Yuuki - come back soon - your house is about to be robbed! ! ]
[Yuuki, stop taking care of the kids. There’s a family emergency! Something’s going to happen to your two problem children! I’m so anxious! I’m really anxious! !]
[You bastard! You sneaked into my house while my wife was not at home, right? I will punish you when my wife comes back online! !]
[Five Summer Duo: Save Riko, play with water; 501: Get lost and take care of the child; Scum Dad: Set up a trap in secret; 501: Call the police and take care of the child. I can't stand it anymore, 501, don't you think your painting style is completely different from others?]
[I can't stand it... Goka thought Yuuki was having a great time in Aomori, but it turns out that Yuuki is in big trouble again. Not only did he lose money, but even his phone is broken this time. He has to take care of the kids, so he can't get in touch with me... I'm dying of laughter, Yuuki, why are you so miserable! ! ]
[Riko is almost annoyed by your nagging. I am dying of laughter... Master, please stop nagging! Although 501 is no longer in the arena, the name of 501 is everywhere (?), quickly say thank you to 5t5 and xyj! ]
[Don't be so funny... 501 is so unlucky and funny that it seems like they accidentally got in from the next door crew. Damn, hurry back! Yuuki, if you can't catch up, both of your good friends will be sent to prison!!]
[I suggest that this comic be renamed "I Want to Make You Crazy to Death"!! ]
"Ah, I didn't expect that it would be fine if it didn't update for half a year or a year, but when it was updated, there would be so many more chapters... As expected, this incident is also very important in the manga."
Xi Haiqing Dou was casually browsing the forum and expressing his feelings casually.
It has been almost half a year since the last update of the forum comic, and Saikai Haruto has stopped making trouble and has been a well-behaved and sensible student in high school for a year - of course, this "well-behaved and sensible" should be put in quotation marks.
Although the manga has not been updated for so long, Xi Haiqing Dou has not been worried in the past year. According to the events that happened in the previous round in the "memories" he has read, he quickly found a very important node - the astral plasma incident that will happen during the first semester of their second year.
In the previous round, the situation was similar to this round. Gojo Satoru, Kagome Kyo, and Hanayamain Haruna received the mission of protecting the astral plasma body, but they fell into the trap of Fushiguro Shiji and were almost killed - the reason why it was "almost" was because of Hanayamain Haruna's presence, the player had a rare burst of curse, although he failed to kill Fushiguro Shiji, but he also bought time for Gojo Satoru and the others. In short, the result of the astral plasma body incident became one death and one injury - the one who died was Fushiguro Shiji and the one who was injured was Hanayamain Haruna - because they were "shielding" for Kagome Kyo.
The progress of Hanayamain Haruna's "strategy" has made great progress since then, and her relationships with Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken have also made great progress.
Finally, she went to take over the Panxing Sect, turned it into a legal company, and even became the new president and the "Goddess".
All in all, everyone has a bright future.
For Haruna Hanayamain in the last week, the astral plasma incident is probably equivalent to an important strategy node event in an otome game.
However, if Saikai Haruto looks at it from the perspective of an outsider, he feels that it is more like an important turning point in the "original work" - to some extent, it can probably be regarded as highlighting the contrast between "sorcerers" and "ordinary people", a kind of beginning?
Hanayamain Haruna didn't pay much attention to the astral plasma body incident. She was still thinking more about things related to "love". She was depressed for a while after Fushiguro Shiori's death, and she was in no mood to pay attention to other people... In short, Saikai Haruto could only vaguely realize that the "astral plasma body" incident was not that simple, but for him, this information was enough - at least, he was 70% to 80% sure that the "astral plasma body" incident would also be an important plot in the comics, and he could make some plans in advance and outline the relevant "script" in his mind.
And the facts turned out to be just as he expected... Five or six chapters of comics were updated in the forum, which completely verified his guess.
Aside from the fact that Hanayamain Haruna was not involved in the mission from the beginning, the development of events so far has been largely the same as in the previous round.
In the latest chapter of the comic, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Tenuchi Riko have discovered that someone in the black market has a bounty on Tenuchi Riko. They also rushed to Okinawa together because Tenuchi Riko's caregiver, Kuroi Misato, was kidnapped, but they still haven't discovered the real manipulator behind the scenes, Fushiguro Shiori.
And at this seemingly extremely "tense and critical" moment, several people actually relaxed and began to enjoy the sunshine and beaches on Okinawa Island, having a great time - which is consistent with Saikai Haruto's consistent impression of Gojo Satoru.
However, although they seemed to be having a lot of fun, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru did not forget their mission, nor did they forget Saikai Haruto in Aomori. They just called and called two of their juniors, Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu, who had just entered the high school and were currently in their first year, to go to Okinawa.
——And by the way, I also brought along Hanayamain Haruna.
In the comics, the teenagers in their prime all put on cool Hawaiian-style shirts and swimsuits and played freely at the beach. The sunshine, the beach, and the teenagers mixed together, looking as comfortable as if they were on vacation.
"What is this? The one who should be here isn't here, and the one who shouldn't be here is here..."
Until he suddenly saw Hanayamain Haruna, Gojo Satoru, who was originally playing in the water with Kagome Ken, instantly put away the smile on his face, turned his head to the side and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear what he meant.
"Who brought her here?"
"Huh? Are you referring to us? Okay, then I'll take Nanami-san and Haibara-san and leave right now—"
Hanayamain Haruna was not used to Gojo Satoru, and immediately contradicted him with her hands on her hips.
"Okinawa is so big, let's just treat it as a trip!"
"Sorry, Haruna, don't mind it. Satoru used it too much and it burned his brain. I sent the message to Haruna, do you have any opinion, Satoru?"
Xia Yujie smiled and gave Gojo Satoru an elbow: "Haruna said she happened to be free in Kyoto. If Haruna is here, you can relax a little, right? And Haruna and sister Riko are both girls, so there should be more topics to talk about? Sister Riko——"
He turned to look at Tenuchi Riko, but suddenly found that Tenuchi, who was originally resting on the beach lounge chair, had stood up from the lounge chair at some point, and with her hands on her chest, she began to be infatuated with Hanayamain Haruna, her eyes shining brightly.
"Oh, so beautiful!"
There was even a blush on Riko Tenuchi's cheeks.
"Oh, this guy is the Star Plasma Body? You really have good vision!"
Hanayamain Haruna's mood brightened up instantly. She smiled and flicked her hair, then gave Tenuchi Riko a wink: "I'm Hanayamain Haruna, a classmate of these two bastards DK. Sister Riko, just call me Haruna!"
After introducing Hanayamain Haruna and Amauchi Riko, she looked around in surprise, "Oh, by the way, isn't Yuuki here?"
The three of them were always inseparable. Wherever Gojo Satoru and Kagome Toshi were, there was a good chance that Igarashi Yuuki would also be there—unless he was working part-time somewhere else. Hanayamain Haruna was already used to it.
"Yuuki... that guy should still be in Aomori. I wonder what mission in Aomori could have delayed him for so long? I guess he's probably just hanging out in Aomori and has forgotten about us. We just called him twice but no one answered."
When mentioning Igarashi Yuuki, Gojo Satoru instantly threw Hanayamain Haruna aside and complained unhappily like a wife who was abandoned by her philandering husband.
Getsu Suguru was speechless for a moment - he was having so much fun that he didn't want to leave. Why did he feel that Satoru was not talking about Yuki, but himself?
"There are a lot of mountains in Aomori. Maybe Yuuki is in a forest somewhere and that's why there's no signal on her phone?"
Xia Yujie guessed and defended Xi Haiqingdou: "Yuuki is not the kind of person who would forget about us... I think that it is more likely that he has encountered some troublesome cursed spirits than what you said."
As he said this, Geto Suguru suddenly even felt like laughing - although it was just a casual remark, given his good friend's special physique... why did he feel that this possibility was higher the more he thought about it?
"It's possible."
I don't know what he thought of, but Gojo Satoru suddenly became high-spirited again: "Speaking of which, Yuuki said before that if he was free this summer, he would definitely come to Okinawa with everyone. But this time everyone was here, but he was the only one not here... Oh, no, there's also Nozomi."
"Jie, come and take some more pictures for me! When Yuxi comes back, I will show him all these pictures!"
Gojo Satoru reached out and excitedly put a camera that he had taken out from somewhere into Geto's hand.
"Hayamain Haruna has also gone? That's not unexpected. Then there's only Igarashi Yuuki left..."
In the next frame of the comic, the scene changes, and on the racecourse, the name "Igarashi Yuuki" also appears in the mouth of Fushiguro Shigeki.
"…The result is in! Player No. 15 used his sudden acceleration at the last moment to overtake all the players in front of him in one fell swoop!! He won the championship in one fell swoop. Player No. 15 is really the biggest dark horse of this competition!!"
"Ah! Tsk—I lost again."
Hearing the excited voice of the commentator in the distance, the game ended again. The black-haired young man came to his senses, threw the lottery ticket in his hand to the ground in annoyance, stood up and turned away from his seat.
Gojo Satoru and the others were pretty much as he expected. They were hooked very quickly and everything was pretty much as he had expected.
There is just over a day left.
And Igarashi Yuuki... since she encountered an unexpected incident in Aomori, wouldn't it be nice for her to stay there forever?
Then, the scene in the comic changed again, and a black-haired, baby-faced boy wearing a black technical college uniform was bending over and frantically taking care of a pair of ragged young girls. Igarashi Yuuki, who was being talked about by them, finally appeared at the end of the last page of the comic.
"Yuuki Igarashi, who is far away in Aomori, seems to still know nothing about the situation of her companions...? !"
