I Loaded the Love Game

The first day of November, a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Watanabe Toru is reading a book at home, and the phone screen on the desk is a video from Kumiko.

By the river, full of reeds as tall as a person, a girl in a sailor suit plays solo on the Euphonium.

He was about to reply when the phone screen suddenly jumped to the call interface, which was Miss Qingye's call.

This is really an unprecedented first time.

It may also be the only time in a lifetime.

Toru Watanabe picked it up immediately.

"Miss me?" he said.

"..."

"Hello? Are you there? Qingye-san?"

"Sophia University Library."

"Beep-beep-beep"

what's the situation? Is this revenge for last night? Haven’t you already used the dolphin doll as an apology?

Could it be that... because you are preparing for a face-to-face love confession, so you are shy?

Watanabe took a light blue shirt, put it on the white T-shirt with a can of Coke, took the keys, wallet, and mobile phone, and went out.

Starting from the apartment and walking along the **** named Kioiizaka, you can see the Edo Castle ruins in the distance.

The Marunouchi Line starts at Ogikubo Station in Suginami Ward and ends at Ikebukuro Station in Toshima Ward.

Toru Watanabe didn't have to go so far, he turned right halfway, and in less than three minutes, he reached his destination-Sophia University Yotsuya Campus.

Miss Kiyono did not say which campus, but for people living near Yotsuya Station, it should refer to the Yotsuya campus... right?

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, Watanabe Toru has found a good reason.

‘I’m not a native of Tokyo, and my goal of going to school is not Sophia University. As a local and an inviter, it’s your responsibility to not make it clear. Please reflect on it. ’

When he was looking for a reason, he had already seen Qingye Rin and a wooden sunflower.

It does not seem to be a confession of love.

No, it's too early to give up! Can come back! Still hope!

"Good afternoon, R-san, classmate Yimu."

The two who were chatting turned their heads and looked at Watanabe Toru who was coming in the distance.

He is handsome and beautiful, full of self-confidence, with the demeanor of a beautiful boy in every move.

"It's really here!" Yimu Kui said in disbelief.

"What's really coming?" Watanabe Toru walked up the steps and stood with them.

"I heard from the girls in Class 4, Watanabe-kun, you never promised a girl's invitation to go out, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Who makes Qingye classmate look too beautiful and has money, she will take the initiative to entertain guests when going out."

"That's it..." Yi Mu Kui had an embarrassed expression that didn't know how to pick up his topic.

Kiyono Rin ignored this boring topic, and did not expose Watanabe Toru's lie in front of others.

She glanced up and down at Watanabe, her eyes rested on his open shirt: "To pretend to be cool?"

It's very cold in Tokyo in November.

Toru Watanabe lowered his head and glanced at the Coke on his chest: "Where is Coke cool? If possible, I prefer Mi Lao..."

"Who said that?" Kiyano gave him a dissatisfied look. "Why did you leave your clothes open."

"That's cooler." Watanabe Toru took it for granted.

Kiyano breathed for a while, and stared at him angrily: "Are you kidding me?"

Toru Watanabe didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "What's the matter if you call me out? Sunday is my precious study time, which will delay me from taking the first place in the country next time. Are you ready to pay the price?"

Kiyono Rin was not happy about Watanabe Tetsuo's thing about her, but he did not continue to be reluctant, and explained: "Iki-san has asked Mai Mai-senpai about the school trip location."

"So fast? Where?" Watanabe Toru looked at Aoi, "Don't tell me it's Kyoto."

"Huh? Watanabe-kun, do you also know?"

"..." Watanabe was speechless, and finally sighed, "Forget it, after all, 47% of Tokyo's school trips to Kyoto are not surprising."

What else does Kakui say, Rin Kiyano, who has been under constant scrutiny by college students, first said: "Let's go in first."

So the three of them walked into the library.

The name is the Central Library. It has 11 floors from the second basement floor to the 9th floor upstairs.

There are about 1.1 million books on the humanities, social sciences, and science and engineering, and about 11,000 magazines.

"What are we doing here?" Watanabe Toru asked as he checked the layout of the library.

"Find some travel magazines and see which places are suitable for confession!" Kwai Dong Zhang hoped, suddenly as if he found his goal excited, "over there! The magazine is over there! Let's go over there!"

The three moved separately, looking for a magazine about Kyoto.

Toru Watanabe stood in front of the bookshelf, looking at the spine of the book arranged in accordance with the Japanese syllabary.

He took out a book casually, and the faint smell of books permeated him, healed his pain about going to Kyoto.

After choosing two Kyoto travel magazines, he walked to the place agreed upon by the three of them-a round table with armrests.

Outside the handrail, you can see the ground floor of the library.

This is a place where quiet talk is also allowed.

Kiyano Rin came back a second time, not holding a travel magazine.

"Kinkakuji Temple" by Yukio Mishima, "Ancient Capital" by Kawabata Yasunari, "Kyoto Higashiyama Murder Case" by Misa Yamamura, and "Spring Festival Is Short, Let's Go Girl" by Morimi Tomihiko.

"Are you reading a book?"

"If you have a bad memory, don't force yourself to speak." Rin Kiyono put the book on the table. "These novels are based in Kyoto, and there are a lot of love elements. It is possible to find good spots that are not in travel magazines."

"It makes sense." Watanabe nodded, "But I recommend another one of Yamamura Misa's novel."

"Which one?" Qingye Rin asked curiously.

""Kyoto Bulun Travel..."

"You can shut up."

"Okay, no problem, what R-san said is what he said." Watanabe Toru believes that he is a great man, so it is not strange to know the current affairs a little bit.

Kiyano Rin pressed his forehead, sighed hopelessly at him, and opened "The Spring Festival Is Short, Let's Go Girl".

Watanabe flipped through the magazine boringly, not reading the text at all, only looking at the pictures did not fit his eyes.

After he finished flipping through the magazine and jot down a few locations, Yimu Kui walked over with a large stack of magazines.

"I brought all of the last few years!"

"Kichiki-san," Rin Kiyono looked at the magazine that seemed to be overwhelming the table with surprise, "Although Kyoto is an ancient capital for a thousand years, there are only those attractions, and only a few magazines can cover all of them. No matter how much it is just a meaningless repetition. ."

"...Yes, shall I go back then?"

"Forget it." Kiyano Rin sighed, "It's okay in the afternoon anyway, let's turn over the books one by one."

"Great! Thank you, Qingye-san!"

"Kazuki-san, this is my recommended attraction." Watanabe Toru handed over the two opened magazines.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, I'll go back first, see you at school tomorrow." Watanabe Toru stood up.

"Watanabe-san, wait a minute." Rin Kiyono pushed one-half of the number of magazines that exploded and pushed it in front of Toru Watanabe. "After reading these, you can go back."

"Why don't I watch it?"

"I sincerely suggest you, it's best to watch." Kiyano Rin said with a bright smile.

"...Okay, I see." Watanabe Toru sat down again and picked up the first magazine.

Kazuki said embarrassedly, "If Watanabe-kun has something to do, you can go first. You have helped me a lot, no need..."

"It's okay." The speaker was Qing Ye Rin, and Shi Shiran continued to read "The Spring Festival Is Short, Let's Go Girl", "This is a club activity, and there is nothing to do when he goes back anyway."

"Study is not a matter?" Watanabe was unhappy.

"I allow you to sit across from me all afternoon and admire and admire my beauty." Kiyano Rin lifted the long hair from her shoulders with one hand and said proudly.

"Say early! Very happy!"

Of course this is a joke.

Since entering the Human Observation Department, Watanabe Toru and Kiyano Rin have met all day long, and there is no shortage of this afternoon.

It all depends on Kiyano Rin's friend. If he is not a friend, if he dares to speak like this, Watanabe will slap him twice.

...Considering Miki Kujo's experience, the option of hitting her is forgotten.

He is not the one who cares about girls either.

The three of them gathered around the pile of magazines, looking through them one by one.

I will communicate with each other for a while when I see the favorite scenic spots. If they feel good, keep it for now.

"Arashiyama looks good, especially this bamboo forest!"

"Are there too many people?" Kiyano Rin said seriously.

"You can choose the night time. At that time, there will be fewer people!" Aoi was very excited, "Watanabe-kun, how do you feel?"

Watanabe Toru looked at the familiar scene: "Better not."

"What's the reason?" Kiyano Rin asked.

"I have seen a lot of light novels, animations, and comics, like the very famous "Spring Things". As long as I confessed there, none of them succeeded."

"Really? Is it so low?" Yimu Kui was taken aback.

"But light novels are light novels, and reality is reality. You can try it."

"No, no! Let's choose another place!" Yimu Kui hurriedly jumped to the bamboo forest page of the magazine.

"By the way, Ichiki-san, how did you know the location of the school trip for Class 2 of the third year?" Watanabe Toru asked while continuing to read the magazine.

A happy expression on Kokui's face: "I asked Mai directly!"

"She told you directly?"

"Yeah!" Yimu Kui nodded excitedly, "It seems that because I got the qualification recommendation of Dongda, Mai-senpai is in a very good mood recently. We asked her to come to the flute club to help with training and agreed, and we told us when we asked about the school trip location. I am!"

"What about the scene where you like the confession?" Kiyano Rin doesn't care if he is in a good mood, but cares more about the key to things.

Yimu Kui became depressed and pouted, "I also asked, but when it comes to this, Mai-senpai immediately stopped talking."

"Do you hate this topic?" Kiyano Rin guessed from himself.

"No, Mai-senpai's expression is very good, she seems to be in a good mood, but she just refuses to say it."

Watanabe tapped on the white plastic table, thought for a while, and asked, "Kichiki-san, does Tomorrow-senpai know that you came to the Human Observation Department?"

"Don't worry about this!" Yimu Kui said proudly, "I took the initiative to tell the senior sister, the reason is also to ask for the playing skills, she will not guess that I am going to confess to her."

"..."

It's over.

"Mai-senpai has been very nice to me recently. I feel that it is not only the reason for getting the university recommendation, but also...hehe!"

Seeing Kakui immersed in happiness, Watanabe's expression was complicated.

‘Congratulations, Kazuki, successfully paralyzed Tomorrow’s elder sister and was used as my spy. ’

"Student Yimu, I must remind you that it is better to be prepared for failure. From my point of view, this confession is almost impossible to succeed."

Even if she was disliked, said she couldn't understand the atmosphere, and always splashed people with cold water, Watanabe decided to pave her with the consciousness that she would fail first.

"I know this kind of thing." Yimu Kui's answer was unexpected, and he was so excitedly looking forward to it just now.

She lowered her gaze and fiddled with the skirt corners: "I know, but what does it matter? Mai-senpai will be going to university soon and will not see each other again."

No one in the trio could speak openly for a while.

Toru Watanabe looked at her drooping face, feeling sorry for her in his heart.

I have liked it since junior high school, chased after Kamikawa, entered the wind club, and won the national gold. In order to increase a little bit of possibility, I even believed that the human observation department, an association of unknown origin, told others about what I liked about girls.

Who is qualified to laugh at her little pursuit?

Toru Watanabe wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

The word'Come on' is too hypocritical.

"This is love." Qingye Rin whispered to himself, "Knowing that there is nothing, I still keep working hard to move forward."

"R-san, let's talk about classmate Yimu, please don't use such a cold expression, suddenly start human observation, and, if possible, please use more concise language to summarize..."

"To shut up."

"Yes."

Watanabe Toru was so decisive and so proficient in admitting his mistake that Kakui, who was unhappy just now, laughed out loud.

She clenched her fist and said, "Yes, it's not time to summarize the reasons for the failure, please continue to work hard with me!"

"That's right, anyway, the confession failed, no one can do it once or twice." Watanabe Toru agreed.

"Huh?" Kazuki felt that what he and Toru Watanabe said were not the same thing.

But she is more curious about one thing.

"Watanabe-kun, would someone like you confess their failure?"

Watanabe did not answer her question, and said to Kiyano Rin, "R-san, please associate with me."

"I feel extremely physically unwell now, at least after breaking up with your Miki, come and say this to me again."

Watanabe looked at Aoi Kazuki: "Look, it failed."

"...Oh, yes." Yimu Kui squeezed these words from his throat.

......

After reading all the magazines ~www.ltnovel.com~ and delineating a few locations, Yimu Kui left gratefully.

Kiyono Rin and Watanabe Toru Shun, the two of them walked towards the place where they lived together.

On the way, Kiyono Rin remembered what Watanabe Toru had just been deliberately funny, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be unexpectedly gentle."

"Yes, I'm a gentle light novel male protagonist. The world has misunderstood me too deeply." Watanabe Toru nodded his head appreciatively.

Kiyano Rin pondered for a while: "When you say this, I begin to doubt my judgment again."

"...R Sang, you are good everywhere, but sometimes it is really rude to speak."

After leaving Rin Kiyano, Toru Watanabe walked alone on the way back to the rental house.

The sun was going down in the distance, and the shadows of the telephone poles followed up lazily, as if they were about to leave work at any time.

It seems to have forgotten something, but what has been forgotten.

Forget it, since it has been forgotten, it means it's not a big deal, so hurry up and organize your math notes, so as not to be a dishonest person.

Wait, math notes...

Watanabe Toru took out his cell phone, and finally remembered something he had forgotten.

He clicked on the line, and sure enough, the chat history with Kumiko was already filled with weird geisha expression packs that couldn't reach the end no matter how they slid.

Bai's miserable face and strange smile made people shudder.

If you receive it in the middle of the night, I'm afraid I can't help but look back when I go to the toilet, for fear of ghosts following behind.

Or treat it as if you haven't seen it.

Before Watanabe Toru put the phone in his pocket, Kumiko had already sent a message.

Then came a series of Kyoto Geisha emoticons.

Originally called Ujigawa, Watanabe finally felt comfortable in his heart.

To figure out the name of the river full of reeds, this is what he forgot.
