man in tokyo, mock girlfriend

Chapter 18 18. Farewell
Looking at Kawashima Sumino's flawless eyes full of sincerity, Akizuki Yahiko's heart was filled with mixed emotions, covered with an indescribable layer of depression.

He originally thought that his already sealed heart would no longer be touched by the love between his children, but when he met such a sincere and infatuated girl, he couldn't help but be shaken.

Perhaps, sincerity is really the nirvana in relationships.

"Yahiko-kun, you have asked me so many questions, can I ask you one question?"

"go ahead."

"Do you really like me? Do you really love me?"

"I like you and love you."

At this moment, Akizuki Yahiko loved Kawashima Sumino, loved her sincerity, passion, and her purity.

"Hehe, I believe Yahiko-kun. Yahiko-kun has never lied to me."

Kawashima Sumino smiled, but her beautiful eyes were filled with two lines of clear tears, and the ultimate broken beauty enveloped her face.

"Since Yahiko-kun likes me, if he disappears suddenly, there must be a compelling reason. He doesn't want to get rid of me, right?"

"...You are so stupid. You are obviously sad, why do you still smile?"

Akizuki Yahiko stretched out his hand, dug his rough fingertips into the corners of Kawashima Sumino's eyes, and wiped away her tears. The sense of loss in his heart became more and more obvious.

Even though she was reluctant to give up, Kawashima Sumino was the NPC of the simulator, a bunch of virtual data that had nothing to do with reality.

As long as the ending is played, it will be like a galgame, and each other will usher in the end, leaving the players lonely and difficult to understand.

"Really, really, who is so sad? Yahiko-kun, you idiot, why, why do you say it out loud? Isn't it like this... I can't bear it anymore, wuwu..."

Kawashima Sumino could have endured the sadness, but when Akizuki Yahiko said this, the string in her heart suddenly broke. She hugged Akizuki Yahiko tightly, buried her face in his chest, and cried loudly.

She just cried silently and didn't say anything to save her.

Akizuki Yahiko gently patted her petite and weak back, while stroking the back of her head with his broad hands. He was not gentle like a lover, but like a father.

After a long time, Kawashima Sumino's tears stopped, and her trembling shoulders calmed down.

Then, she raised her head, closed her eyes, and took the initiative to kiss Qiuyue Yahiko's thin lips, full of the passion and madness of the last moment.

Akizuki Yahiko would not ask such a question for no reason.

When he asked, her world suddenly became dark, and the light seemed to be swallowed up by the deepest darkness, along with everything about her, whether it was her own existence, soul, or spirit.

The two short answers that attacked Akizuki Yahiko's soul were the thoughts derived from her first reaction after hearing his words.

Even though she was so sad that she felt like she was drowning in the deep sea, her breath, color, sound...everything was deprived of her. She still forced herself to smile at him, not wanting him to see the depths of her weak heart.

She finally understood why Akizuki Yahiko forced her to stay. It turned out that they would say goodbye tomorrow afternoon.

"Yahiko-kun, I like you the most, hehe..."

The two were reluctant to part, and they held each other inseparably, as if they wanted to rub each other into flesh and blood.

……

late at night.

The moonlight is like water, like a flowing spring, flowing in the bedroom in strands. The fragmented moonlight is crushed, filling the silent main room, setting off the two people lying on the bed, clinging to each other.The bedroom was very quiet, so quiet that only weak breathing could be heard from time to time.

"Yahiko-kun."

At a certain moment, a soft call sounded, breaking the silence.

"what happened?"

Qiuyue Yahiko turned his head and looked at the slightly sad and helpless little face, and reached out to touch her forehead, as if to comfort her.

Kawashima Sumino pursed Minying's lips. After hesitating for a few seconds, he took a breath and asked in a low voice: "Can I ask where you are going tomorrow afternoon? It's so sudden."

"I……"

Akizuki Yahiko didn't know how to explain it, and he hesitated as soon as he opened his mouth.

Simply, he showed his cards directly: "Chengino, what I say next may make you think that I am a psychopath, but please listen to me carefully... This is a parallel world, I traveled here, wait until tomorrow afternoon, I will complete the task and return to the original world from this world."

He did not explain that this world is virtual. Sumino Kawashima is an NPC with a bunch of data. As long as he leaves, everything will stop and collapse.

If you say this, it would be too cruel for Sumino Kawashima.

A girl with a fragile heart like her would definitely not be able to bear it.

"..."

After listening to this, Sumino Kawashima fell into silence.

Through the flickering moonlight, Akizuki Yahiko saw hesitation flashing across her face, and he didn't know why.

Are you thinking, can you believe his words?Could it be a ridiculous lie made up simply to be irresponsible?
In fact, Kawashima Sumino was not thinking about this. What she was thinking was - who is Akizuki Yahiko?
"Yahiko-kun, you...you seem a little different today than before."

Sumino Kawashima is not stupid.

After hearing Akizuki Yahiko confess to herself, some of the doubts in her heart suddenly became clear.

If she guessed correctly, the current Akizuki Yahiko is not the Akizuki Yahiko she knew.

Akizuki Yahiko also understood what Sumino Kawashima wanted to express, so he confessed: "The Akizuki Yahiko you knew before is not who I am now. He disappeared because of my arrival."

"I see, the Yahiko-kun I knew is no longer here, and I haven't even been able to say goodbye to him..."

Kawashima Sumino did not cry or feel sad, but calmly accepted the fact that Akizuki Yahiko was dead.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away. You can hate me now, scold me, hit me, or even want to kill me. It's okay."

Akizuki Yahiko put down the hand that was stroking Kawashima Sumino's forehead, and also removed the arm that was cushioned by her.

He felt guilty for Sumino Kawashima, even though this was a simulated world.

"I don't hate you, and I won't scold you or hit you. It's impossible for me to do that, because Mi...can you tell me your real name?"

"My name is...Uryū."
