Chapter 47
Nakamori Akimi got up and shook his head, looking around. The room was very luxurious, yet terribly unfamiliar.
Where is this?
Oh, right, cell phone.
She pulled out her phone and checked it. There were a string of missed calls: from Li Hui, her mother, her father, and even classmates. It seemed everyone knew about the chase.
She quickly called Li Hui back.
"Sister! How are you? I'm so glad you finally answered the phone. Where are you now? Are you okay? My parents and I are scared to death. Why are those people chasing you, □□?"
"Wait a minute, Lihui, you're asking too quickly. Slow down and don't be impatient."
Nakamori Akimi patiently comforted her.
"I'm fine now, don't worry, you and Mom and Dad. As for those men in black, they're nothing. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After telling Rie some things that needed attention, Nakamori Akimi hung up the phone, sent a message to others to report that he was safe, and then planned to check the situation.
She remembered that before she fainted, she and Atobe got into Mr. Sakaki's car. Excluding the possibility that those two people sold her out, this place should be safe.
She groped her way out of the room and found herself on the second floor, where she could hear the sound of conversation coming from downstairs.
It was the voices of Atobe and Mr. Sakaki. Nakamori Akimi looked down and saw that besides the two of them, there were a lot of people sitting downstairs.
"Ah, Nakamori!"
Mukaihi Taketo was the first to notice her and waved to her.
When he shouted, everyone else looked up.
Nakamori Akimi waved at them awkwardly and hurried downstairs.
"How are you, Nakamori? Why did you faint for no reason?"
Did she faint for no reason?
Nakamori Akimi wiped away a tear of sadness. She fainted because she was extremely frightened and exhausted.
"I'm not feeling well, so don't worry about it." She laughed it off. "By the way, Atobe, what happened today? First, Sakurada came to me out of nowhere and told me she wanted to get engaged to you, and then..."
As Nakamori Akimi was talking, he fell silent unconsciously because Atobe Keigo's expression was really ugly.
"To be honest, Atobe only found out today that he's getting engaged to Sakurada." Oshitari Yuushi took off his glasses, revealing a few scratches on the smooth surface from his recent fight with those black-clad men. "The people chasing you are the Atobe family's bodyguards. They're probably trying to capture Atobe and get him engaged."
"But Atobe is engaged, why would he chase me?"
Nakamori Akimi was just pointing out this problem truthfully, but he didn't expect those people to look over again, and no one spoke for a while.
What's going on? She wasn't wrong. Nakamori Akimi looked back confidently.
"It was to blackmail me." Finally, it was Atobe Keigo who came out to explain. He propped up his head, crossed his legs, and the gloom on his face was swept away. "We are dating, aren't we?"
"Yeah?"
Nakamori Akimi was confused and had no idea what Atobe Keigo was thinking. Could he be driven crazy by the forced marriage?
"Isn't it?"
Everyone looking at her said in unison.
"Yeah."
There are rumors flying all over the place, it doesn't matter.
Then those who thought they were very considerate left the space for this poor little couple and took away Mr. Sakaki, who had been silent the whole time.
"This is a very bad situation, Atobe."
After everyone left, Nakamori Akimi told him about the disappearance of 5744 and the other Otoyu.
"No wonder that Akashi guy has been calling me lately, saying he wants to stay in touch with me. Turns out he has something to hide."
After a brief thought, Keigo Atobe figured out the whole cause and effect.
"0587 is gone too, but before it vanished, it sent me a picture. It said it was the ending fragment you redeemed."
On Keigo Atobe's phone is a black and white picture of the bad ending:
He is unrecognizable - you say you love me, but do you know who is reflected in your eyes?
"Be? Rikkai University's ending is Be? Didn't Tsukishima Sakuramu succeed in conquering her?"
Something suddenly occurred to Akimi Nakamori's mind, but it was so fleeting that she couldn't grasp it.
"Wait, my mind is a bit confused now, is this what it means?"
"What do you mean? That needs to be confirmed." Atobe Keigo put away his phone and stood up. "Listen, Nakamori, I'm going to disappear for a while. At least I won't show up until that inexplicable engagement party starts."
This is a familiar, bloody plot, and Akimi Nakamori can already imagine what will happen next.
"So you'll really be pressured into getting engaged to Sakurada?"
"Even if that's the case, I'm the one who'll suffer. Why is your expression even uglier than mine?" Atobe Keigo acted very relaxed. He even had the leisure to joke with Nakamori Akimi. "Why, do you still want to be chased by those people for a whole day?"
"Of course I don't want to, I'm just a little worried about you..."
Not only was she worried, she also felt sorry for Keigo Atobe. How could such a proud person get engaged to someone he didn't like? Even if all this was fake, everyone would forget this ridiculous memory, but it just couldn't be done.
"Silly girl, worry about yourself first." His dry, warm palm rested gently on her head for a few seconds. "I'm not the kind of person who gives in easily. Keep your phone open. I'll call you."
That day, Keigo Atobe left in style, but the next day, he disappeared without a trace. His family gave him a week off, and his flamboyant figure was no longer seen at school. Even Juri Sakurada vanished.
"His phone was definitely confiscated and he was put under house arrest."
Nakamori Akimi, Fuji Shusuke and Shiraishi Kuranosuke who is far away in Osaka are having a voice call.
"Well, maybe Atobe is looking at the bright moon outside the window alone, feeling sad."
Following what Nakamori Akimi said, Fuji Shusuke began to imagine, hmm... a pretty good picture.
"Maybe play some sadder music and shake your glass?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke also tried to imagine it a little, but his imagination was a little poor and he had no picture at the moment.
"People in this situation usually go on a hunger strike, right? I've seen a similar plot in one of Mom's favorite TV shows."
The very rigorous Fuji Shusuke overturned Shiraishi Kuranosuke's wine glass theory.
"Hey, hey, hey, why do you seem to be gloating over something else? Don't make fun of such a serious matter!"
And that's not like Atobe at all. He'd just be ordering one person to serve plates, another to pass water, all under the watchful eye of his bodyguards. Oh, and given his workaholic nature, he might still be working. Or maybe he'd just take this time to rest.
No, what was she thinking? She had been led astray by those two people!
"After all, we are rivals in love. Too much sympathy will only make us look provocative."
Fuji Shusuke has completely adapted to his identity and has played the role perfectly.
"Don't add me in without permission, Fuji..."
Completely different from Fuji Shusuke, Shiraishi Kuranosuke still cannot digest this matter. Even though he has joined this team, he is just a physical member and his heart has not yet integrated into it.
"Forget it, now that things have come to this, the situation with Atobe is a foregone conclusion. Let's focus on the two from Rikkai University first."
Nakamori Akimi threw the screenshot into the group.
"What do you think this sentence means?"
"...You're changing the subject too quickly. I really feel bad for Atobe now."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke said embarrassedly.
"If even you, Nakamori, don't care about Atobe, who else in this world would care about him?" Fuji Shusuke sighed slowly, "It seems that I will soon see the news of Atobe's engagement on the news."
"Fuji Shusuke-kun, you've provoked me." Nakamori Akimi gritted his teeth. "The sooner we deal with that Rikkai University guy, the sooner the world will return to normal, and Atobe can regain his freedom sooner, right?"
"I see." Fuji Shusuke suddenly became serious. "What do you think about this, Shiraishi?"
"Me?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke, caught off guard by the cue, fell into deep thought. "From the literal meaning, it seems to mean that Tsukishima Sakuramu didn't know who the other person was?"
"From the literal meaning, that's exactly what's happening. If you put yourself in Yagyu and Niou's shoes, it's actually pretty easy to understand." Fuji Shusuke thought for a moment, "Shiraishi, do you remember the U17 training camp? Yukimura told us that Niou and Yagyu loved to dress up as each other."
"It seems to be the case."
"Then everything makes sense." Nakamori Akimi snapped his fingers. "Since the Tears of the Ocean are in Hiroshi Yagyu's hands, that means Tsukishima Sakuramu chose him as her capture target. But since he often switches with Niou Masaharu, Tsukishima Sakuramu is simultaneously capturing the real Hiroshi Yagyu while simultaneously capturing Niou Masaharu, who is dressed as Hiroshi Yagyu."
"That is to say, she attacked two people without knowing it."
"Wait," Shiraishi Kuranosuke questioned, "Didn't the system remind her? If she doesn't know, then does the system not know either?"
"Maybe that's the case. After all, this game is full of bugs."
Nakamori Akimi made ruthless complaints with his own agenda.
"That's true."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Fuji Shusuke joined Nakamori Akimi's camp without any hesitation.
"What are your plans next?"
"In order to save the world and save Atobe, of course I have to go find them to confirm this speculation. Anyway, the system has disappeared, and I guess its server has completely crashed, so it can't control me. If necessary, I can also take some extraordinary measures."
Nakamori Akimi's voice was sinister and creepy.
"Nakamori, although I really want to support you, if you want to use some special means, you will not be their opponent at all."
Fuji Shusuke kindly reminded.
"Don't we have you guys here? Shiraishi is out of reach in Osaka, but aren't you, Fuji, in Tokyo?"
Nakamori Akimi's eyes rolled and an idea instantly popped up in his mind.
"So you're planning to take advantage of me." Fuji Shusuke said with a smile, "Do you need me to prepare some sticks, swords and guns?"
"That's a bit too violent. Is there anything a little more gentle? What do you think of a brick?"
"Bricks? I remember Rikkai University had paths paved with natural gravel. How about using local materials?"
"What a great idea, Fuji! No wonder everyone says you're a genius!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who overheard everything, said: Are there really no normal people in this world?
