Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 116 18. Reversal of Life
Valentine's Day is a holiday about love, romance, flowers, chocolates, and greeting cards.

Men and women send gifts to each other on this day to express love or friendship.A Valentine's Day dinner date often represents a pivotal moment in a relationship.

Originally a Western festival, it gradually spread to the East. Neon was one of the first East Asian countries to accept and popularize Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day has a very rigorous and cumbersome process in Neon. First of all, on February 2th, girls have to give chocolates to the boys they like.

Of course, chocolate is also divided into two types, one is called Honmei Chocolate, and the other is called Giri Chocolate.

To put it simply, [Honmei Chocolate] is to express love to boys, and Giri Chocolate is a cover-up method used to send Honmei Chocolate, which is the so-called expression [Thanks]

If it is the chocolate of natal, a card will be included in the delivery to express your heart clearly, and of course we hope to get a response from the other party.

Or make an appointment to meet behind the teaching building after school, or meet on the rooftop.

Giri chocolate is a smoke bomb.

If the boy accepts the girl's heart, he will give the girl chocolate back on March 3th.

So March 3th is also known as White Day.

But for single dogs, this day is the most unwilling day of the year.

"By the way, have you received your own chocolate?" Hayami Chuan asked.

Several people looked at each other and lowered their heads in frustration.

what……

The store manager was a little moved.

What kind of aggregates are these?
"I actually have a piece of Giri chocolate, which was given to me by Ono from the marketing department." Kinoshita said, taking out a box of chocolates from his purse.

"Damn it, a man like Kinoshita who has been in a relationship is really different. You are the only one among us who has Giri Chocolate?" Hayamigawa said dissatisfied.

This time, the store manager felt that the remaining two people were even more pathetic.

Giri Chocolat was able to gain a firm foothold among the three and become the best. What kind of story is this?

Looking outside the store, couples in twos and threes walked by, full of laughter and laughter, and from time to time you could see a girl holding flowers with a happy smile on her face.

On this day, no matter where you go, you can feel a strong romantic atmosphere.

"Even if it is not mentioned, couples can live their own lives, why do they have to create a romantic atmosphere in the streets?" Hayamichuan said sadly, "It seems that there is always someone holding a big It's so annoying that the horn reminds you that you're single."

"Yeah, I also feel the same." Furukawa Haoze nodded seriously.

Only Kinoshita remained unmoved.

You two guys who have been single until now don't understand how good it is to have a girlfriend.

but……

Kinoshita still hasn't quite figured out how he lost his girlfriend, and how he became a single man like Hayamigawa and Furukawa.

"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to think so much." Gu Chuan Haoze is very sensible, anyway, he has been through the past 30 years without a girlfriend, and it probably doesn't matter if he has a girlfriend or not.

"Where can girls play games?"

Furukawa said calmly.

The other two looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.

"Gu Chuan, do you know that we all became like this when we were with you." Kinoshita said.

"Huh? So it was my fault that I lent you the game cartridge?"

"Of course it's your fault!" Kinoshita said shamelessly, "It's because after playing the games of Paradise that people despair, thinking that such a good girl can't exist in reality."

"That's right." Hayami Chuan also echoed.

The shop manager couldn't help laughing at the quarrel between these elementary school students.

"In short, you can decide for yourself, whether you want to buy it or not." Gu Chuan smiled, and then picked up a box of [Reversed Person] from the shelf.

"P company's latest galgame, and it is said that it is determined not to send a knife."

"Huh? Really or not?"

Kinoshita quickly took a copy too.

"Valentine's Day or something, it doesn't matter, anyway, if we play galgame, it is equivalent to falling in love." Hayamichuan concluded.

what……

These silly kids.

The store manager couldn't help but feel more sympathetic.

Can you still marry girls in the game?
Some things cannot be replaced by games.

……

Furukawa Haoze is a staunch celibate. Valentine's Day, natal chocolate, and marriage do not exist for him.

Only games are eternal.

After purchasing "The Man of the Reverse Degree", Gu Chuan Haoze walked all the way, and passed a cake shop on the way, and the boy was putting his finger dipped in the cake into the girl's mouth.

I also passed a guy in a doll costume selling balloons, and around it, a couple was taking pictures.

Then around the corner near the house, a girl was throwing flowers into the fire.

A gust of wind blew, and the unburned paper flew past him, rolled around on the ground, and then stopped.

The girl walked away without looking back, as if she didn't notice the unburned cards that flew by.

Seeing this, Gu Chuanhaoze picked it up and took a look.

Between it says:

【Honey:

The world keeps blooming, flowers...

I want to put it in your heart...

one.

Dear British carp]

Some parts of the writing have been burned away, and the contents can only be made out vaguely.

Gee.

Another sad guy in this world.

……

Furukawa Haoze strengthened his determination not to find a girlfriend.

Let's see when I can meet a girl who actively pursues me.

It's best to be able to play games.

No matter how bad it is, you can't interfere with your own game play.

Back in the apartment where he lived, Furukawa Haoze immediately closed the door and drew the curtains.

It's not that they are doing something shameful, the main reason is that the couple outside are very noisy.

The sound insulation quality of the apartment he lives in is not very good. Sometimes at one or two o'clock in the morning, he can still hear the miserable screams of the girl next door.

This scream will last for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Fortunately, the duration of the sound was not very long, so I could barely fall asleep.

Of course, sometimes Gu Chuan himself will deliberately amplify the sound in the galgame, so as to stimulate the boys next to him.

It won't be long before this time, Gu Chuan can hear the voices of the girls next to him arguing.

……

"I'm sorry, the guy next door." Furukawa Haoze said silently in his heart.

Even though it's Valentine's Day, it's also my galgame night.

Whether it will affect you or not depends mainly on how the pokeni game is going.

……

Turn on the TV, connect the game console, and insert the cassette.

Press the switch and the game officially starts.

Furukawa Haoze's movements were smooth and smooth, without any delay.

In the TV--

The azure blue background is cut in half, with black and white on the left.

On the right is the colored part.

The crowd is walking to the right.

And the hero and heroine are to the left.

Weird picture.

The crowd is also very characteristic, from left to right, followed by children, young people and middle-aged people... all the way to the gray-haired old man.

Slow and lyrical as always, with a touch of mournful music.

Needless to say, this must be the soundtrack of the guy called Tianmen again.

Pokeni seems to have only this soundtrack.

But to be honest, Furukawa quite likes his soundtrack style.

However, when he heard the soundtrack, Gu Chuan Haoze felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Although the president of pokeni said that he can't throw a knife, he always feels that something is not right.

Forget it, keep playing, you will know after clearing the level.

A dignified president would never lie to the media like this.

Furukawa Haoze still believed him.

……

As if a stone was thrown into the lake, the picture rippled and fluctuated a bit.

Immediately afterwards, a line of ink-colored text emerged from the center of the splash and became——

【Reverse person】

Below is a line of small characters, which reads——[1992/produced by pokeni Co., Ltd.]

After two seconds, a button menu appeared on the screen.

Furukawa Haoze picked up the handle and pressed [New Game]

……

Entering the casting screen, two different images of a man and a woman appeared on the screen.

The boy is wearing a black suit and white shirt, he is a standard office worker, and the girl is also dressed similarly.

Both of them have black hair and good-looking faces.

The following is accompanied by a text description -

【Please choose your role】

[The story lines unfolded by different characters are also different]

Huh?
Is it actually a dual protagonist mode?

Furukawa Haoze felt puzzled on his face.

Before this, he had never played such a galgame.

It's quite common in arcade games, but those are because different characters have different abilities. What's the problem with character selection in galgame?
But he has to admire pokeni's imagination and creativity.

No matter what kind of game this company can make, Hiroshi Furukawa will not be surprised now.

After thinking for a long time, Furukawa Haoze still chose the male lead according to his gender.

The main reason is that he really can't imagine how to experience galgame after he becomes a girl.

……

Choose a character and enter the game.

A drop of rain fell from the sky.

It fell to the ground and fainted a small black spot.

Immediately followed by the second drop.

After a while, it rained heavily in the sky.

The male protagonist Yamashita glanced at the sky, quickly raised the briefcase above his head, and then ran quickly.

Before long, he found a corner where he could shelter from the rain.

At the same time, there was another beautiful girl hiding under the eaves with him.

It can be seen from the initial casting interface that this girl is the heroine.

The two smiled at each other.

Then they chatted with each other.

The girl said, "You know, there is something magical in this world."

The male protagonist asked, "What?"

The girl stretched her neck to look at the gray sky outside, stretched out her right hand, and gently flattened it.

A drop of rain hit her palm, followed by another.

The rain poured down into her palms.

The heroine smiled sweetly at the hero, "Mermaid Tears."

"According to the legend, the tears of a mermaid can fulfill a wish of a person, but the price is——

It will bring a poignant love to this person. "

"Huh? It's really a good story."

The male protagonist laughed, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

……

This scene is completely described through pictures and words, coupled with the magnetic voices of the male and female protagonists, it is easy for Gu Chuan to be substituted into it.

I don't know if it's because of the 16-bit machine, or if pokeni has really improved. When I saw this paragraph, Furukawa Haoze only felt that it was unusually beautiful.

Although the whole picture does not use many colors, it is beautiful and immersive.

In the background, the rain is pulling, bringing the whole city a layer of romantic misty color.

The two chatted for a while, the rain stopped, and then they parted ways.

The male protagonist thought to himself: 【If there were really mermaid tears, what kind of wish would I make? 】

……

After this, the player can move freely.

The layout of the entire game is a city named [Yonezawa City]. Players can control the arrow keys to move the hero to any place in the city, and get information and interact with people there.

But every time you enter the interactive session, it will consume an hour of time.

When time runs out, the day will pass.

but--

After the first day passed, Furukawa Haoze discovered what the real theme of the game was.

【Reverse person】

It tells a story of going backwards in time.

After today is over, it is not tomorrow, nor is it repeating today's content, but the time is reversed, returning to yesterday morning.

Every time you jump, a big alarm clock image will appear on the screen, but the hands of this clock are rotating counterclockwise.

At the same time, it also indicates the law [reverse degree]

于是日期从1992年2月14号，跳转到了1992年2月13号，如果再这样下去，会继续跳转到2月12号……

That's how the game is played.

In the morning, the sun shines in the house.

"I'm off to work," said the actor.

"Okay, have a good journey." An extremely beautiful girl with gentle eyes, wearing an apron, stood in front of the entrance and waved to the male lead with a smile.

In the setting, the male protagonist is not a bachelor, but has a beautiful girlfriend named Yu Yoshida.

If you go to her according to the schedule, you can go on a date with Yu Yoshida, go shopping together and play in the swimming pool.

So Furukawa Haoze left the apartment, thinking about where to go next.

According to the established trajectory, the male protagonist should go to work in the company, and then interact with the company's colleagues there, and accept the sales task.

But Furukawa Haoze felt that he should go to other places to have a look.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, during the working hours, when the male protagonist returns home, he sees an astonishing scene——

His girlfriend, Yu Yoshida, is actually flirting with a boy.

Even the two of them were very surprised by the sudden arrival of the hero, with confused expressions on their faces, and they couldn't even do the preparations well.

Yoshida Yu looked at Yamashita Sheng (the male lead) with surprised eyes, "Why are you back?"

what……

It's terrible, this male lead.

Sure enough, the male protagonists of P Agency are more miserable than the other. The male protagonist of the previous "Mermaid Heart" both died, but at least he still has a beautiful girlfriend like Lingyin.

Now in "The Reversed Man", the male protagonist not only died of both parents, but also was betrayed by his girlfriend.

Seeing this, even a single man like Gu Chuan Haoze couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

But at the same time, there was another strange emotion in his heart.

Make him want to hit someone.

After thinking for two seconds, Furukawa Haoze finally understood.

This is probably the feeling of being cuckolded, right?

Now that I think about it, Kinoshita's choice to break up with his girlfriend is also very correct.

……

At this time, Furukawa Haoze has two options, the first is to choose to leave silently.

This is too tragic, right?

Not only was someone wearing a hat, but also had to swallow it?
Tolerable or unbearable.

The second option is: beat them up.

Furukawa decisively chose the second option.

As a result, at the end of the day, the male lead failed, and sat silently in the park, secretly saddened.

……

The time jumped, from 11:59 to 12:[-].

It was yesterday, February 2th.

Ding dong.

The screen went black, and when it turned on again, the actor had already returned to his bed.

Lying next to him was his girlfriend Yu Yoshida.

"Why are you up?" Xiaoyou rubbed his sleepy eyes.

During this period of time, in fact, the incidents that broke the adulterous relationship that happened before did not exist, and Xiaoyou was still the hero's pitiful and extremely gentle girlfriend.

Guchuan Haoze sneered twice, interacted with his girlfriend, and decisively chose [break up]

"Why?" Yoshida Yu stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked tearfully, "Sheng-kun, you have to give me a reason to break up, right?"

"Why else, who told you to have other men outside?" Guchuan Haoze was so angry that his mouth turned up.

……

During this game process, Furukawa Haoze gradually realized happiness.

If you could go back in time, what would you do.

Probably what this game communicates to the player.

For example, you can go directly to the bank to withdraw all your savings and spend them all. Anyway, the money will come back the next morning.

You can also choose to observe other people's lives and discover some little secrets.

Time beats.

December 1986, 1.

At the beginning, the game jumped according to the number of days, but it seemed that there was no plot in the middle, so it jumped for a while according to the plot, and it spanned 5 years.

Otherwise, it would be too boring to live every day.

At the beginning of the day, the hero is standing in a cemetery.

He was attending a funeral.

The name "Masaharu Yamashita" is engraved on the tombstone.

Masaharu Yamashita is the actor's father, who passed away in a car accident yesterday afternoon.

Before that, the father-son relationship between the two was not harmonious. Because of the actor's work, the relationship between him and his father broke down and there was a big fight.

The hero is extremely regretful.

Standing in front of the cemetery, watching all this, tears of sadness flowed from the corners of his eyes.

……

Seeing this scene, the corners of Guchuan Haoze's eyes were slightly wet.

He thought of his father, who also died in a car accident when he was young.

At this moment, Gu Chuanhaoze's heart jumped suddenly.

According to the progress of this game, that is, can I prevent the car accident from happening?
……

Wow, "The Reversed Man" is also great, isn't it?

……

--------------------------------

The [-]-word task is completed.

see you tomorrow
