If I don't capture the girl, I will die

"Well, Kato-san, maybe it's a little strange and unreasonable to bring this up given our relationship, but could you please be the heroine of my novel? Do you remember our last encounter on the slope? I want to use you in that scene as an important encounter in the novel."

Who knows whether he really wants to make her the heroine of the novel, or uses this as an excuse to conceal his true feelings and approach the girl he fell in love with at first sight and build a good relationship with her.

"Well... although I don't quite understand the situation all of a sudden, but if it's something I can do, then it's fine."

"To put it simply, you don't have to do anything. All you have to do is allow us to be friends, let me observe you every day, and write our daily lives into the novel. This is what we call collecting materials."

"Being stalked? By a stalker in the name of collecting material?"

Despite such sharp complaints, the girl finally agreed.

weirdo.

Both sides define the other side in that way.

Only then did the two of them truly get to know each other.

Gradually, Ji Qi found that she was really a very good girl. She was kind and friendly, and at the same time rational. She also looked very sweet.

Maybe it was because he had just come here and was not very familiar with the writing of Japanese light novels, or because the subject matter was not original, but when his first submission was rejected, the girl with whom he had a mediocre relationship encouraged him quietly. When he decided to publish, the girl with whom he had a better relationship was happy with him. When he was in a creative slump, the girl with whom he had a very good relationship and who was always expressionless even took the initiative to suggest "Let's try dating".

very happy.

That time was really happy.

Even though he doesn't have a harem like other time travelers, such as a tsundere childhood sweetheart, a devoted stay-at-home sister, a considerate senior schoolmate, and so on, even though the two of them just have ordinary interactions in their daily lives, without any big surprises, and not so many 'turns', even though they are just ordinary chats, ordinary outings, ordinary material collection, ordinary chats about things in his novels, ordinary dates... but he is really happy.

I even feel like time would just stay here forever.

The only problem with Kato Megumi is that she lacks presence, right? Many times, when the two of them go out shopping, they accidentally lose her. No, it should be said that this is an advantage.

Although it was very selfish and this kind of thought was shameful, he felt that it was good for Kato Megumi not to be noticed by others.

Well, however, it was Kato Megumi who had always been helping him, but Ji Qi, who had not helped Kato Megumi much, took the initiative to give Kato Megumi a series of suggestions. For example, let her grow long hair first, and he personally picked out a beautiful dress for her to try...

then……

Ms. Kato adopted his advice and successfully transformed from an inconspicuous passerby girl into a shining goddess-level figure.

It's like taking off the eyes makes you look handsome! What's the principle?

To be honest, when he saw others confessing to Kato Megumi at school at that time, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

After being together for so long, apart from the vague and unreal love at first sight that could not withstand any blow, he and Kato Megumi developed a deep affection.

Without exception, all those people were rejected by Kato Megumi.

We maintained this ambiguous relationship for a year, and then it was time for us to be in our third year of high school.

The two people from ordinary families came to the divergence of fate. In China, South Korea, and Japan in Asia, the college entrance examination is undoubtedly the best opportunity for ordinary people to change their fate.

Although the novel has achieved certain success, Ji Qi, who plans to work in a publishing house in the future, does not care much about this. But he thought about it and realized that academic qualifications are very important no matter which country.

At that time, their grades were neither good nor bad. They were the type that would have no problem getting into college, but the college they went to wouldn't be a good place either.

They had made an agreement when filling out their applications.

A school.

On the eve of the exam, Himechi and Kato Megumi were like ordinary high school students in a relationship, and they were determined to get into the same university with their early love and first love girlfriend. The boy was not confident about his grades, and the girl stood by and smiled and supported him.

Even from a distance, you could smell the sour odor emanating from their bodies.

By the way, the one who lacks confidence in her own performance is Kato Megumi...

In the end, thank goodness, their deviation values ​​were almost the same, and they successfully got admitted to an ordinary university.

Kato Megumi unexpectedly chose computer science as her major.

Ji Qi thought about it and chose the same as her. Anyway, their future careers are one is a light novel writer or a writer, and the other is a housewife.

When everything was settled, he took the trouble to create a romantic occasion on the cherry blossom slope where they had met, and took the initiative to propose a relationship.

A girl who was ordinary and inconspicuous then but is now extremely radiant, and an ordinary boy who has hardly changed in the past two years except that he looks more mature.

The two of them officially became a couple. In the eyes of others, they were people who deserved to be burned to death.

In the second week after confirming their relationship, the two moved out of the dormitory and lived together.

Ji Qi personally visited the other party's parents, obtained their consent, and had the ability to live independently, so he acted quickly.

During the more than one year of living together, Ji Qi did everything that couples should and shouldn't do.

Successfully escaped from the identity of the great magician. By the way, when Kato Megumi, who usually has a blank face, suddenly couldn't help her body's instinct and blushed shyly, she was really super cute!

In addition to this, what is worth mentioning is the change in the way the two people get along with each other.

As the time spent together increases, the passion at the beginning of a relationship will always fade.

Not only that, the flaws and shortcomings that you don't want to show in front of the person you admire and like will always be exposed during close contact. After all, you are living together, and the two of you are almost completely familiar with each other. Not only the advantages, but also the shortcomings.

Now is the time to test the relationship between Ji Qi and Kato Megumi.

Fortunately, both Ji Nana and Kato Megumi have normal emotional intelligence and take this beautiful and innocent relationship that is as beautiful as the one in the girls' comics very seriously.

During that long period of time, even with Kato Megumi's gentle personality, they had quarrels and cold wars. But in the end, within a day, they had undoubtedly become a compromise of mutual tolerance.

Another issue is the sense of security.

Kato Megumi's eyes are like black jade, her fair and gentle oval face, her outstanding temperament, and her long flowing hair make her really beautiful. She is no longer as weak as she was before, and she is undoubtedly the focus of everyone wherever she goes.

Sometimes Ji Qi couldn't help but worry that she would fall in love with someone else.

At this time, Kato Hui, who knows Ji Qi very well and is very observant, will gently and cleverly express her feelings and simple interpersonal relationships. She never contacts messy people, even girls. She only has a few friends, and Ji Qi knows them all. They also know that the two are in a relationship.

In exchange, or when Kato Megumi was secretly jealous, Ji Qi would take the initiative to inform her of his schedule so that she wouldn't have to worry about what he was doing every day. Besides, he was a homebody to begin with, and he didn't really know many people on his phone except for a few author friends and editors. Among all those people, there was only one girl, a senior in the light novel industry who had helped him and whose pen name was 'Xia Shizi'. There was no need to worry at all.

In fact, although she usually looks extremely gentle and low-key like a harmless little animal, Kato Megumi's possessiveness is obviously much stronger than his!

Well, after more than four years of being together, they are planning to get married next year, and their relationship has become unbreakable!

The two of you share a common destiny, common happiness, common pain, and a common ending. Everything about you is under the protection of the person you love the most. Is there any love warmer than this?

Ah...it's already this late?

Ji Qi was stunned by the ending of the novel and fell into memories. Xiaohui should be back soon, right?

If I see that he hasn't eaten, I will definitely scold him gently but with a hint of severity.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ji Qi threw these thoughts out of his mind and walked into the kitchen of the apartment he rented.

The apartment is neither too big nor too small, about 90 square meters, just right for two people.

When he opened the refrigerator, he found all kinds of common household ingredients inside. Ji Qi immediately saw the food wrapped in plastic wrap on the plate.

Even though it was a commonplace scene, he still felt warm inside.

Ji Qi tore off the plastic wrap and put the frozen food into the microwave. He waited for a while.

At this moment, because his attention was focused on the pot, he did not hear the sound of metal friction coming from outside the apartment door...

"I'm back~~" Miss Kato put her ladies' leather shoes in front of the neatly arranged shoe cabinet, carried a bag filled with various things, and smiled faintly. She pursed her light pink lips and whispered. Her hair, which she had been keeping for a long time, has now reached her waist.

Today, Kato Megumi is wearing a casual red uniform jacket, with a pure white shirt underneath, and a white skirt that Japanese girls love the most. As someone who has a lover, Ms. Kato has a good grasp of clothes and the heart of her lover. She will never wear clothes that are too revealing, so that someone won't keep complaining in her ear. Although she doesn't hate it, she enjoys it very much...

This is her, another extremely important home.

After putting the bag on the table, Ms. Kato heard a noise coming from the kitchen.

Ah, this idiot, he didn't eat on time again. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Kato Megumi frowned, and then returned to her usual expression as she walked towards the room where the sound came from. No emotion could be seen.

Ji Qi couldn't explain why he didn't hear anything just now. Now that Kato Megumi didn't hide her movements, he turned off the pot again, and naturally he noticed Kato Megumi's expressionless face.

Facing the familiar expressionless face, he smiled uncomfortably.

Give him another ten minutes! No, five minutes will be enough!

Well, the two of them couldn't possibly get angry over such a small matter. After a moment of hesitation, Ji Qi brought the plate to the living room and asked casually, "Hui, you must be hungry after running around outside for so long. Come and eat with us."

"Oh, no need."

The two sat down at the dining table. Ji Qi filled a bowl of rice, picked up some dishes, then turned to the girl opposite... or should I say, the woman, clasped his hands together, and said, "I'm eating."

While eating, he did not forget to secretly glance at the person in front of him who seemed to be out of touch with the world.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the food on the plate was more tempting or the woman in front of him was more tempting.

He had done that before... Never mind, it's very immoral to indulge in promiscuity in broad daylight.

"Being? Can't you keep your mouth shut even when eating?"

Kato Hui, who originally planned to ask Ji Qi to make a promise this time, had a little pink on her fair face. She obviously remembered the ridiculous thing they did last time.

"Because in my eyes, there is nothing more important than you. And there is nothing more important than being with you."

After spending a long time together, both sides are very clear about each other's weaknesses. For example, at this moment, Ji Qi was very serious and very skilled in changing the subject. Although he might not be able to escape it afterwards...

"... Then what do you like?" Miss Kato held her cheeks and smiled at the man who had no idea what it meant to be silent when eating or sleeping. The expressionless look on her face soon disappeared. For this relationship, she really put her whole heart into it without leaving any residue.

This made her feel sweet and happy, but also occasionally panicky and uneasy.

There is no need to pretend anymore.

"Everything." Ji Qi mumbled incoherently. This was a conversation they had every few days, but neither of them looked bored.

Ji Qi stopped eating for a while and wiped his mouth. "By the way, Hui, I have already put an end to the novel just now."

“…Ah, it’s finished.”

Even though she knew it in advance, Miss Kato still sighed with emotion. Is this novel that connected her and the man in front of her and has been with her until today finally coming to an end?

I've been writing love letters to her for four years. Is this finally coming to an end?

Suddenly, Ms. Kato, who was very good at controlling her emotions, felt a strong sense of reluctance and sadness in her heart.

Kato Megumi turned her head away as if she was upset, and said in a sullen tone, "I don't want to watch it anymore.

"Why?" Ji Qi asked a little confused. Even though they had been dating for a long time, most of the time, he couldn't figure out what his girlfriend was thinking.

Kato Megumi was not originally a sentimental girl. She even acted too indifferent most of the time.

However, that novel is really important to both her and Ji Qi.

It's really strange to want her, who has such a thin presence as air, to be the heroine and attract attention.

Although I'm a little embarrassed to say it out loud, but I don't hate her at all.

It's better to say that I was so happy that I felt a little embarrassed.

Even if it blends into the scenery, even if its presence disappears.

She is like this...

It would be nice if I could make someone fall in love with me at first sight.

It would be nice if I could make you fall in love with me at first sight.

"Although their story has ended, our story has just begun."

Ji Qi gave a bright smile to Miss Kato, who was feeling depressed.

"As for love letters, I can write you as many as you want. Even for a lifetime."

"Hehehe~~Did you get the evidence? Did you make a promise?"

"Yes, it's a deal."

-

coming year.

The cherry blossoms are blooming in Hokkaido.

Because of the climate, Hokkaido is actually one of the poorest places in Japan. Not only is it difficult to grow crops and survive, but even many vegetables and fruits need to be airlifted. Coupled with the vast land and sparse population, it can be said to be a very poor place.

But even in such a place, the blooming cherry blossoms are extremely beautiful.

Moreover, the cherry blossoms here have a metaphor.

That is the oath.
