I have found out your real name

Chapter 229 Finale
"We've obviously found a way to get through the obstacles, so why didn't you stop us when Aoi Hoshikawa and I were fighting?"

With half the stage still left, Hikari asked seriously.

She was indeed confused and puzzled by this, so much so that even prying into the contents of the dropped notes was a second priority.

"Wow, you guys fought so hard, I don't want to end up like Mephistopheles who intervened midway!"

The childhood sweetheart ignored his gag and continued to sit on the floor and stare at Li Wu.

It seems that there is no way to deal with it so perfunctorily.

After defeating the Demon King's army cadres, the scene still did not change much, and the other two missing people did not pop up. Perhaps like the first seal, you need to read the log that appeared to trigger the change.

He simply sat down in front of her with his legs crossed.

"Because I really want to fight."

Her eyes widened, as if she hadn't expected such an answer.

"Although I don't quite understand the specific reason, after all we have known each other for so many years, I can still tell that you are not fooling around, but are serious about deciding the winner."

Li Wu added, "And he also won. It's so awesome, Light."

Guang, who received the expected praise, still tilted his head unhappily: "I won by cheating."

"Can tactics be called cheating? But don't tell Xingchuan that it was me who said this."

"I'll tell her."

As if she had figured something out, she relaxed and lay down on the ground, grabbing Li Wu's sleeves and trying to pull him down too.

"But Hoshikawa...Ms. Witch doesn't actually want to fight me."

"Indeed, but after losing, a wonderful winning mentality will be ignited."

"In other words, Xiao Wu chose to take care of my feelings over her thoughts."

Because of the momentary surprise, Li Wu was pulled to the side, lying on his side facing his childhood sweetheart.

Like stepping into a pre-set trap and being caught, he couldn't argue.

"...It's not a big deal anyway, and she won't always care about this kind of problem. However, Guang looks quite serious, so she can't rise to the level where she needs to make a choice."

"Is it an excuse?"

"No."

"If Miss Witch and I say so..."

"Don't!"

Hikaru did not continue to dwell on this point, but put his hand on the other person's right hand and pulled out the blue-covered notebook.

Yes, this level of answer is enough for the time being.

The battle she wanted to win even if she cheated was not meaningless. It didn't matter whether the other party was quibbling or really thinking so. Simply knowing which side the balance was leaning towards was enough to add new fuel to the long wait. .

"I also want to ask why your enemy is still biting you now..."

The fact that the loot was taken away reminded Li Wu, and he launched an army to investigate and prepare to seize the initiative in the dialogue.

"Xiao Wu, let's look at it together and open this dark book that records the secret of the second seal."

"Just ignore it?!"

The two people lying on the ground spread out the diary they obtained in front of them, just like when they were children, huddled under the quilt and reading comics.

*
That was two weeks after that conversation on the way to junior high school.

When the band-aid was torn off, the skin on the edge of the wound stuck to itself, causing Li Wu to let out a hissing sound with bared teeth.

"It's ok?"

Guang, who was wearing a dark blue sailor uniform, took out a new replacement from his small bag, with different types of sea creatures painted on it.

She carefully broke the seal and applied the replacement band-aid flatly to the mark on her face.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury."

The person receiving care leaned back unaccustomedly and distanced himself from the delicate face that was too close. "It will heal on its own if you leave it alone."

Sensing the other party's intentional avoidance, Guang paused, then slowly withdrew his hand after finishing the contact.

"If you don't do this, Xiao Wu will be infected with the T virus within 10 minutes."

"My wounds were not caused by zombies!"

In the bustling background, the conversation of the two middle school students on the bench naturally did not attract anyone's attention. What's more, the outdoor stage set up nearby and the band playing on it have attracted the attention of most people. In the distance, a banner reading "Sanbaihua Music Festival" fluttered lightly in the wind.

Now, they are theoretically on a teaching tour at this professional high school called Sanbaihua Conservatory of Music.

But not to mention the leading teacher, not even one of the classmates in the surrounding class could be seen.

"Everyone has disappeared. I just saw Mr. Maruyama squatting there and eating something red."

"Don't continue the topic of zombies and talk about such scary topics. No one ran away from the team because of us."

Li Wu scratched the new band-aid uncomfortably, "Why is there a fin whale painted on the band-aid?"

"When it comes to whales, it has a very strong feeling."

"To say that strong means strong, is it to encourage injured people to continue to challenge themselves and fight again?"

After the other party finished speaking, Li Wu sighed, "But we've already had a fight, and they probably won't come back to cause trouble again."

Junior high school students are, in a sense, more susceptible to stimulation than elementary school students.

The concept of good and evil is initially clear but lacks specific cognition. As self-awareness increases, he begins to feel the constraints of the collective and learns to adapt to the so-called atmosphere, so that if a spark is thrown into it, it will immediately become a bomb and detonate.

As for Hori Renko, she is not Mars, she is the bomb itself.

Although most people will not specifically target a girl because of her strange words and deeds, there will always be a small group of people who are committed to satisfying the strong sense of self-esteem that begins to emerge at this age by showing their "authority" in front of their peers.

They are the so-called bad boys and bad girls.

According to the general "Jianghu rules", as long as you give in and admit to the girls who come to your door dressed in fancy clothes that you deliberately attract other people's attention, and then apologize to show their certain "superior status", this matter is also It's over.

However, what they met at that time was Li Wu, who was a little grumpy because he had just started living alone, and was also at a flammable and explosive age.

In short, after getting involved in a friendly exchange where both parties participated in the event, the status quo became like this.

The delinquents did not dare to cause trouble anymore - after all, they were just "students in fancy clothes", not even the level of knife-wielding gangsters - but ordinary students were no longer willing to approach these two sources of trouble.

"Speaking of which, we were obviously together at the time, so Guang was unscathed."

"Xiao Wu, an excellent absorber of hatred."

It’s a compliment I really don’t want to hear.

Several girls in gorgeous costumes and cloaks walked past the bench, whispering to each other and entering a nearby building with a curved roof.

"It looks like there's going to be an opera show. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Li Wu got used to the feeling of a new piece of cloth on his face and turned to look at Guang.

She nodded, jumped off the bench, turned around and stretched out her hand to him. The navy blue sailor skirt that was connected to the uniform on her top was raised slightly.

Li Wu avoided the slender white fingers and just grabbed the cuff at his wrist and stood up: "Thank you, but my leg is not injured, and it is not enough to need help." He quickly let go of his hand. Walking in front, Guang, who was lagging behind, stared anxiously at the other person's retreating back, thinking about something she had never thought about before.

The building the girls entered was the theater within the Conservatory of Music. On the venue, which was no smaller than the outdoor venue, singing and dancing intertwined to create a charming stage.

It tells a story about the disputes and collisions of beliefs among eight star goddesses, and the pursuit of their dreams.

Guang looked very interested and sat upright the whole time. His right hand unconsciously rested on the armrest between the two of them, firmly grasping Li Wu's palm.

When the curtain came down and the actors took their bows, he took his left hand away, as if to avoid a dangerous iron.

"I want to be like that."

Hori Renko announced as he followed the crowd out of the venue.

"Opera singer? I think Hikari is perfect for her, too."

She looked over with a "what are you talking about" expression.

"It means becoming the goddess of the stars."

"……what?"

Rinko Hori, 13 years old, dreams of becoming a god.

What a lofty ambition.

"If you want to settle for the next best thing, you can be a brave person."

"It's the same as buying discounted goods, and there is no relationship between the two you mentioned."

Walking side by side on the unfamiliar high school campus, Hikari stared at the passers-by.

“It’s a weird feeling to think that three years from now we’ll be walking into a place like this.”

Li Wu distanced himself slightly, trying to change the subject.

"Will Xiao Wu still stay with me at that time?"

She stopped, shortened the distance, raised her head and asked.

"Why do you suddenly ask this..."

Just as the two of them stayed where they were, the crowd suddenly became more noisy, as if something unexpected had happened.

Guang and Li Wu were carried forward for a while, only to find that something was wrong with the band that had previously performed on the outdoor stage. A female member was half-kneeling in front of a girl who was being pulled tightly by her. It seemed that He was begging her to stay.

The surrounding people gave full play to their spirit of watching and joining in the fun, and pieced together the whole story of the incident through gossip.

Probably the girl who was pulled was originally a member of the same band as the girl who was kneeling. However, something unexpected happened and the team was disbanded, and the old members were replaced by new ones. Today, the former teammates came to the new band's concert, and what happened Such a farce.

After breaking through the encirclement and leaving the gathered crowd behind, the two finally stopped in front of a mobile ice cream shop that probably got the application to enter the school today.

"Will we be like them?"

As if to continue the conversation just now, Hikari grabbed his clothes and asked.

"Like who?"

Li Wu felt a little strange about his childhood sweetheart today.

"The person I saw before finally separated from my original partner. Even if I kneel down and beg her, I can't bring it back."

She said somewhat gloomily.

"No, why do you think so?"

There is something wrong with my little friend’s thinking!We must take this matter seriously!

"Because Xiao Wu has obviously been avoiding me recently...or is he caught by a curse that prevents him from touching others?"

"I'm not hiding from you, and there's no such curse."

Li Wu corrected her, but the other party started counting his crimes on his fingers.

"When casting healing magic, when holding hands, when in the theater... Xiao Wu in the past would not react like he does now."

Guang leaned against the side of the ice cream truck, rubbing his soles anxiously on the ground, "You won't say that to me either."

"What kind of words are those words?"

"While I was reading the demon summoning ritual."

Li Wu quickly remembered the conversation on the way to school.

"You misunderstood what I meant-"

He only said half of his words, "And we are all middle school students after all. Isn't it a bit bad to get along like before?"

"why?"

Guang tilted his head, took a step forward, and pressed the opponent's chest, "What will happen? What does Xiao Wu actually mean?"

He was forced into a blind corner because of his quick talk.

He could only choose the easy explanation first: "Because it was the first time I saw Hikaru wearing the current school uniform, and it felt strange. So I think that after entering junior high school, Hikari is still the same as before, which is surprising. Reassured, even relieved.”

"Ah."

The force coming from his chest relaxed a little, but the distance was one step closer, "Why can't it be like before?"

How to answer this question!
Fortunately, Guang didn't continue to ask, but let go and walked around to the front of the car.

When she came back, she already had an ice cream cone filled with cream in her hand. Part of it had disappeared, and only the traces around the girl's mouth could prove its final destination.

"Come and sign the second contract."

The ice cream she took a bite of was pushed in front of her, and the girl holding it made a request, "Then, Xiao Wu will prove that he won't suddenly run away one day like the sister in that band."

Obviously, there is no need to ask how she signed the second contract.

Li Wu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a bite of the white snowball.

The cool, sweet taste penetrated into the internal organs, as if there was really some invisible connection established between the two.

Although he had no expression, Li Wu could still feel that Guang was very happy to take back the incomplete dessert and bite off a piece in the same position.

"I hope Xiao Wu can always look at me and watch me realize my dreams and never say words like that again."

"achive dreams?"

"Ah."

The girl raised the ice cream in her hand like a torch, "I have not given up on my dream of becoming someone special!"

*
"The second contract... Speaking of which, after that day, we really returned to the previous mode of getting along with each other."

Li Wu couldn't help but cover his face.

The shame he finally developed about "isn't it good for boys and girls to stick together all day long?" was eliminated after only two weeks.

On the other side, Guang was still looking down.

At the end of the diary-like narrative, there is an extra paragraph.
