154

Such a name is engraved on the spirit tablet.

The virtual smoke is misty.

Water dripped from the corners of the basement ceiling.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Liang carefully selected desserts for his sister that she had always wanted to eat but had never eaten before. She only needed to watch thirty seconds of pop-up advertisements about the latest virtual game masterpieces to get these "tributes" with only pictures and text descriptions for free.

I received a text message that the electricity bill this month was over the standard. I checked the amount of emergency funds I had saved one after another. It seemed that I should save a little in the next month.

If the rent is half a day late, even this dark and damp basement will probably be evicted by the landlord immediately.

After taking a basin to fill the water, Liang sat at the table again. In order to support himself, he had to start working.

[Hello, reality]

ps: This volume is finished. No matter what everyone's evaluation is, at least I felt a lot more relaxed when I finished writing it. This volume has been both good and bad. I have been praised and scolded. But what I want to say now is that this volume is indeed over.

Thank you all for subscribing and reading, and thank you so much for finishing this long volume.

Regardless of whether you like it or not, I want to say thank you to the readers who can see it here. I really, really thank you all for reading this story. There are many more things to say, and I will open a separate chapter tomorrow to talk about it.

Finally, I passed subject two.

Megumi Karuizawa's Autumn Remembrance: Final Words

Let me first answer two of the most frequently asked questions in this volume:

1. About Karuizawa Megumi.

First of all, Megumi Karuizawa is definitely the character that I have put the most thought and writing into in this volume. She has the most roles and interactions among the girls. Why do people have the impression that Megumi Karuizawa is a passerby heroine? Simple, because unlike the previous volumes, I added a lot of descriptions of other female characters, such as Horikita Suzune and Shiina Hiyori.

The root cause of this problem is the distribution of the main line and simulation. Readers who have been following this book since April should still remember that I said at that time that 200,000 words would be included in the main line, but for this main line, I and I Readers' understanding is different at first.

The main plot in my opinion is the main plot in the original work, that is, what happened at Tokyo Advanced Education High School.

Because Ichinose Honami's simulation and Karuizawa Megumi's first simulation were both done before entering school, many readers at that time said that the writing was very good but it didn't look like a fanfic of the real teacher. The light novel of the real teacher The stage is Tokyo Advanced Education High School, which has not changed from the first volume to the present.

So I answered that 200,000 words would go into the main plot, because my outline was about Karuizawa Megumi's second simulation of entering Tokyo Advanced Education High School. In the end, it was more than 200,000 words to start Karuizawa Megumi's second simulation. Enter Dongyuli.

But later I found that I understood it wrong. It turns out that what readers want to see is the [main plot] that is different from the [simulation], a real-life plot that actually happened. But at that time, my second simulation had already started, so I had to bite the bullet and write it. .

This book was originally planned to have four simulated heroines: Ichinose Honami, Karuizawa Megumi, Horikita Suzune, and Sakayanagi Arisu. From the beginning, it was planned to complete the simulation and enter the main plot, but because at that time I kept being urged (you can read the book reviews and ask at least hundreds of questions about the main plot), so I could only add some originally scheduled simulation chapters of the latter two people to the second simulation of Karuizawa Megumi for convenience After the simulation ends, go directly to the main line.

2. About the plot of this volume. I wrote this volume very freely and happily, because the fandom principle I adhere to is that the plot line should not follow the original work as much as possible. Otherwise, why would readers come to read the fanfic? So whether it was the start of Class C, designing Sudo for the beginning of the school year, framing Class B, leaking false answers in the midterm exam, or directly expelling four people from Class D to an uninhabited island, it was basically my own new design, and everyone's response was relatively good. .

The preferential treatment test has always been the most difficult section for practical fans to write, because the original work is not only complex in rules but also ends very easily. There are not many places that can be cut into. In fact, after finding out the fifty-sound rules, I basically passed the level. So I designed a Werewolf episode myself.

Everyone knows what happened later. In the end, I accelerated this section myself.

I am very satisfied with the sports festival. As the ending plot, I completed the story line of Karuizawa Megumi and Horikita Suzune, and completed the "Abuse of Nagumo" section that must be included in practical training fics. Then Hotaru's appearance, Ryuu The plots of Sono Sho's struggle, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's jump, and Ichinose Honami's assistance were very smooth when I wrote them myself, because they have been laid out in the past, and they are generally smooth and will not appear to be particularly abrupt.

ps: Because there is a fee for writing more than 1,000 words, some remaining questions will be explained in the ps in the next volume.

Finally, thank you very much for reading, and see you in the new main volume.

The Abyss of Youth: Chapter 1: Firefly Chapter

It's August, and this year's fireworks display was finally successfully held after being postponed several times due to possible precipitation.

But when it comes to fireworks displays, the first thing that usually comes to mind may not be fireworks.

Takoyaki, yakisoba, oden, balloon playing, ring tying, fishing for goldfish, marshmallows and apple candies.

For children, these food and play items may be more eye-catching.

The fourteen-year-old Liang swallowed loudly and looked at the aroma rising from the roadside stall with the heat, and then his eardrums were destroyed by the child's scream.

Just when Liang was lamenting how energetic these five, six, seven or eight-year-old children were, how sharp their screams were, and how unreasonable they were when they ran rampant on the road, the little girl holding his hand shook him. hand:

"Brother, I want to play that!"

Liang looked in the direction of Yingying's finger. It was a stall selling rings. On the floor were either stuffed animals, or glass products that looked sparkling under the light and sold well, or products with gold stickers on them. Or plastic toys with silver stickers. Anyway, these are gadgets that are not so old but are popular with children.

Different from the other pedestrians wearing yukata around them, this brother-sister duo only wore the same white shirts and jeans of different sizes. If you look closely, you can see the faint but now faded pattern on them.

"I want that bear."

There is a huge stuffed bear in the center of the stall. Compared with the gadgets around it, it stands out. Although Liang maliciously speculated whether it was second-hand from somewhere, but even if it is second-hand, it is still a piece of cake. In terms of value, it should be the highest prize among this batch.

Many children were trying their best to put it on, and it was difficult for Liang to understand why some children who were not as tall as the stuffed bear were so obsessed with it.

"Because I feel like I will be envied by others when I walk on the road holding such a big bear!"

"Have you ever learned any mind-reading skills?"

Liang twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Yingying who stretched out his right hand and gestured.

"Because my brother's thoughts are already written on his face."

The little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, her cheeks were a little thin and unhealthy, and what impressed people more was her blinking eyes, which were different from the ordinary black pupils of the boy next to her. Her pupils are a beautiful fluorescent color, so bright they even make people feel like they are glowing.

"Boss, how do you sell this circle?"

Although he complained that this kind of project was deceiving children, his sister was also a child who would make a fuss and act coquettishly when she saw what she wanted. Liang could only shake his head and walked up to the stall. Main communication.

The number that came out of the other person's mouth immediately made Ryo take a breath of hot air.

He almost subconsciously converted the money into the equivalent amount of food, or a fraction of a month's rent. Liang tried his best to keep a smile and stretched out a finger towards the stall owner in front of him.

"Ten?"

The stall owner happily started to take the loops from his arms. This guy put all the loops on his two arms. From a distance, he looked like a tire man.

"one."

Liangli said confidently.

"The minimum price is five."

The stall owner curled his lips when he heard this and stopped moving his hands.

"..."

Returning to my sister, I spread my hands:

"I thought it was beyond our budget, so I wisely ended this irrational consumption."

"Or we can think about it from another angle. For example, Firefly has ten circles in her hand now."

"Snapped."

"empty."

"Snapped."

"I missed again."

"Snapped."

"Throw it away."

Before Ryo finished speaking to comfort Ying, another little girl next to them began to cry first. She stretched out her hand and pointed over:

"Can you please stop talking? Just say it and I'll be free..."

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Liang wouldn't argue with children, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take Ying alone.

"What do you want? Can I set it up for you?"

"You, you just want to play."

Although Liang looked harmless at this moment, the little girl still hugged the remaining rings in her hand with a wary expression:

"My dad is right next to me."

"My brother is very good at trapping."

At this time, Firefly suddenly came over and said, wagging her finger and saying:

"If he doesn't get what you want, I will, I will..."

It's a pity that after holding it in for a long time, Yingying was still unable to say the next words with her face flushed. After all, the two of them together couldn't come up with anything that could be used as collateral.

"I will let my brother be your brother for a day."

As if to demonstrate the weight of this promise, Yingying reluctantly added:

"During the day only."

The little girl holding the ferrule asked doubtfully:

"What do I want from your brother?"

"My brother knows a lot of things!"

When it came to a topic she was good at, Firefly raised her right hand high:

"I can wash clothes, cook, tell stories... Anyway, I know a lot of things."

"Totally unattractive."

The girl shook her ponytail and denied.

"Ugh."

Yingying pursed her lips with a hurt expression, looking a little aggrieved.

Perhaps because she felt that she was a little too much, the girl suddenly softened her heart and gave Ying a circle:

"Forget it, I'll give you a chance to play."

"Thank you! Thank you very much for your attention to the Beichuan family. If..."

Ying quickly covered her mouth and said a few times:

"Ahem, I used to say I was used to it."

However, the other party didn't pay attention to Yingying's series of quite skillful social rhetoric. She gave Yingying a loop and skipped to the other side. It seemed that she felt that that direction was better for trapping her favorite gadget.

"Brother, brother!"

Hotaru, who got a hoop in her hand, quickly trotted back and went back to have a passionate discussion with the stall owner about whether a hoop could be sold. The arguments of both parties already involved "Is the customer God?" and "Shouldn't God be omnipotent?" [Can God create a rock that cannot be moved by himself] and other profound theological topics.

Suddenly realizing that he might have to spend more money to quench his thirst by wasting his saliva here, Liang stopped the debate in time.

Just then, Yingying came over with the circle, raised her head, and her eyes were bent into a crescent shape with joy:

"Someone gave me a circle."

"oh oh."

He smoothly took the hoop handed over by his sister, not knowing that his freedom as a brother for a day was actually equivalent to the hoop in his hand. Liang squinted and aimed at the stuffed bear in the center of the stall.

The owner of the stall has a god and wisdom in his hands.

Yingying held her breath and concentrated, not daring to disturb her brother at all.

Three seconds later.

Ryo's freedom as an older brother increased one day, from a circle to a stuffed bear.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the stall owner, Yingying took some effort to pick up the stuffed bear, which was only a little smaller than her.

The plush touch touched her face, and Hotaru purred with enjoyment, just like a kitten that had encountered a toy.

Just as Yingying expected, holding such a big stuffed bear in her arms turned heads almost 100% along the way. The four or five-year-old children passing by all looked at this side with envy with their fingers in their mouths, and even some I met my parents who came over to inquire about the price and wanted to buy it.

Just when Ryo was worrying about where to place such a big teddy bear in their narrow [home], Hotaru suddenly handed the teddy bear in her hand to another child next to her.

She quite naturally took the banknotes from the hands of the adults who looked like their parents, and waved them in Ryo's direction proudly.

"It's just sold."

Liang walked over, and Ying put the money in his trouser pocket. Her hands were empty again. The stuffed bear stayed in her hand for twenty minutes.

"I can't fit it at home anyway."

Hotaru replied nonchalantly. Even though she said that, Ryo could still tell that she definitely liked this doll.

"Or we can think about it from another angle."
