Chapter 15
"Nakamori Akimi, are you scared like this by a mere "Fuji"?"
What?
Nakamori Akimi was shocked. What does this mean... Could this be the Atobe who came back with her and is sober?
"That's great, you...ah!"
[Since the player has not made a choice for a long time, we are now hosting to help you randomly select option A. Please be prepared to land.]
What! There's also hosting? This is a rip-off system!
"Nakamori!"
Nakamori Akimi first heard Atobe Keigo's exclamation, and then she felt someone catch her and strangle her fate by the throat - holding her collar.
Aren't you really afraid of strangling her to death?
[Because an enthusiastic student reached the target first and caught the player, the current clearance value is still zero. Please keep up the good work.]
Annoying system, shut up!
Although Nakamori Akimi had such strong resentment, her demands were not conveyed to 5744 because she was unable to communicate in her mind.
"Falling from such a height, what were you thinking?"
Atobe Keigo was ready to teach her a lesson, but Nakamori Akimi retorted in dissatisfaction.
"What? It's not me... it's that." She lowered her voice deliberately out of consideration for Huadi. "That game. You should know that I'm bound to that."
Obviously, Keigo Atobe understood what she meant, and he probably also learned the news from 0587.
"Hmph, what a cheap trick."
It was obvious that he scoffed at this. But the next second, he suddenly lifted Nakamori Akimi's chin without any explanation, as if possessed by a ghost. "But I have to admit that your cheap trick successfully caught my attention."
Um?
Nakamori Akimi was really scared by him, and his eyes almost popped out.
"You, you, what are you talking about?"
This kind of brainless and domineering statement, are you still the OOC man who is blinded by greed?
"Didn't you hear clearly, or do you want me to whisper it in your ear?"
Atobe Keigo slowly lowered his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that was three parts cold, six parts teasing, and a bit nonchalant, which made Nakamori Akimi want to punch his fist.
At this time, the second strategy option box appeared in front of her.
This suspected OOC Atobe Keigo is approaching you. You are feeling very resistant, so you will:
A: To increase your strategy points, give it a try and cooperate with him. (To reward you for your patience, your strategy points will be +1)
B: Even if it's Keigo Atobe, he'd get beaten if he laughed like that! (Please note, temporary happiness will only cause your strategy value to drop. The penalty is -5 strategy value.)
C: Shout "God of Bitter Melon, Bless Me!" (A bitter melon will fall from the sky to help you drive away the ooc, and you will get a normal Atobe Keigo, with the same strategy value)
P.S.: The tips in brackets are random benefits and appear from time to time.]
Speechless, totally speechless.
She didn't want to choose any of Nakamori Akimi, but she was really afraid of the random option. This crappy game used all kinds of shady tricks on the players. She really felt sorry for Tsukishima Sakuramu now, and she sincerely regretted her previous behavior of saying bad things about Tsukishima Sakuramu.
“CCC, I choose C!”
[Ms. Nakamori, you don't need to shout out your choice when making a selection. Just quietly make a "3" with your hands. After all, shouting it out would be too weird and passersby would think you're crazy.]
You should have told me about this earlier! Are you like toothpaste? You squeeze it out bit by bit!
"God of bitter melon, bless me!"
Nakamori Akimi, whose body was controlled, shouted out this shameful slogan, almost fanatical, like that of a cult apostle. Then, a bitter melon fell from the sky and hit her head with a "bang".
Shouldn't this hit Atobe Keigo on the head? Why hit her! Then she covered her head and saw Atobe Keigo covering his nose... Well, this is acceptable.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she hurriedly stuffed the bitter melon into Keigo Atobe's mouth. As for whether it was washed clean or not, well... it shouldn't matter.
The bitter melon's effects were immediate; just a taste of it was enough to wake Keigo Atobe. However, the taste of the unprocessed bitter melon was unbearable. He hunched over, leaning against the wall in a panic. The nauseating smell hit his head, sending turmoil through his stomach, and it took him a while to recover.
She didn't vomit even after this? If it were her, she would have vomited a long time ago. With this kind of perseverance, you will succeed in everything you do, Atobe!
"water."
Karaichi, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly stepped forward and handed the mineral water in his hand to Keigo Atobe.
Huadi, who could remain so calm even after seeing such a horrific scene, is indeed worthy of being the man who has consistently ranked first in Hyotei's emotional stability ranking.
"Don't look at Karachi with such an unrefined look." Atobe Keigo, who had returned to normal, pinched the empty mineral water bottle. The "crunching" noise showed that he was in a very uneasy mood at the moment.
After drinking the whole bottle of water, Nakamori Akimi couldn't bear to imagine how bitter it tasted.
"Are you...normal?"
"Shut up."
Perhaps remembering his own disgraceful appearance just now, Atobe Keigo's face turned pale. If reality didn't allow it, Nakamori Akimi felt that he would have wanted to kill someone to silence him.
"Hua Di, you go back first."
Look, look, this is starting to send witnesses away.
“usu.”
"Is this game targeting you? Logically, all the regulars on your tennis club are playable characters, so why are you the only one so OOC?"
After Karaichi left, Nakamori Akimi asked the question he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
[I can answer this question. Because this game allows for character adjustment, players can customize their own character personalities. Therefore, when facing a player, the target will display the adjusted personality. This can make the character OOC, but isn't it super considerate? However, since you, Ms. Nakamori, are replacing Tsukishima Sakuramu, you don't have this permission.]
Okay, okay, the background board is unified, and the strategy characters are adjusted individually. You have made it clearer about the double standards. You are really considerate! Besides, if you don’t have permission, you don’t have permission. Who cares?
"Okay, I get it, you don't have to say anything."
After saying this, 5744 immediately turned off the microphone. From her words and actions, Keigo Atobe guessed that she was talking to the system in her brain.
"Can't your system communicate intra-brainally?"
"I asked it, and it said no," she said, then suddenly realized, "You can?!"
No wonder she had never heard Keigo Atobe communicate with 0587.
Atobe Keigo curled his lips and nodded slightly smugly.
“5744!”
[Sorry, Ms. Nakamori, my authority isn't as high as Mr. 0587's, so I can't do that for now. ╥﹏╥...]
"Tsukishima Sakuramu is right, this rubbish game ruined my youth!"
[Ms. Nakamori, please use polite language (╯▔皿▔)╯]
Nakamori Akimi simply pretended not to hear it and completely ignored it.
"By the way, why are you here? If it weren't for Tsukishima Sakuramu, shouldn't you be working in the student council at this time?"
"Fuji just sent me a message, asking if I knew you and asking me to help find you." Atobe Keigo opened his phone and smiled playfully, "Don't you want to go meet him, Nakamori?"
"... Haven't you eaten enough bitter melon? Why does your smile still seem a little off?"
Atobe Keigo's face immediately turned cold.
"Besides, you told me to stay away from them and protect myself. Have you forgotten so quickly?"
"Things are different now. You've replaced Tsukishima Sakuramu. In their eyes, you're the one who conquered them. You'll keep fighting them no matter what. Taking the initiative is more likely to win than being passive."
That makes sense...
Nakamori Akimi thought for a while and decided to accept his proposal.
"Okay, then I'll go check out the situation."
She is not like Tsukishima Sakumu. She does not have the identity of Atobe Kojime and does not have any ambiguous relationship with Atobe. As long as she pretends well, Fuji Shusuke should not be as radical as before.
Facts have proved that as long as you are gentle in your attitude, the love-brained Fuji Shusuke is still very friendly.
"Qiu Shi, long time no see."
Listen to this voice so gentle that it seems to make water drip out of it. Is Fuji Shusuke so gentle?
Nakamori Akimi, who had never been treated like this before, silently covered her heart. Is this still the same Fuji Shusuke who mocked her?
"Fuji-san."
Nakamori Akimi tried hard to force a smile. There was nothing she could do. The shadow this guy had cast on her was too deep, and she really couldn't smile.
"Fuji-san...Akira, when did we become so unfamiliar with each other?"
His long eyelashes drooped, and the blue light that emerged from the slits of his eyes was gentle and sad. If she had not seen his other face, she would have been deceived by him.
"...It's not convenient here. Let's talk somewhere else."
The gazes of the onlookers here are about to poke her into a sieve, it’s really unbearable!
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Fuji Shusuke tightened the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, and his fingertips turned bluish-white from the exertion.
Wait, a bag? Oh, yeah, her bag!
At this time, Nakamori Akimi finally remembered the poor schoolbag that she had thrown away.
