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

Probably... not.

After a while, Eriri turned her attention to Kato Megumi again.

To her relief, the other party was watching the horror movie as if nothing had happened.

The movie continues.

Sure enough, one-third of the way through the film, the villa where the paranormal phenomena began to occur appeared.

"Is this a curse?"

Ji Qi muttered to himself, feeling that the plot was familiar. His interest in the movie was getting lower and lower.

"There are only seven people in the movie, why do they say there are six people?" However, Eriri, who watched more carefully than him, pulled his sleeve in horror.

Ji Qi calmly replied: "The extra person is a ghost."

"..."

Ji Qi, who didn't look carefully, didn't notice anything, but Ying Lili counted again and was horrified to find that the number of students was not seven, but six!

From the beginning, there were six people.

However, the students did not notice anything and continued to talk and act as seven people.

Ying Lili, however, was very nervous and wondered who the ghost was.

"Um, Kasumigaoka-senpai...what's wrong with you?"

On the other side, Kato Megumi felt the warm touch in her hand and tilted her head slightly in confusion.

Why did Shiyu grab her hand?

Could it be that... he was scared?

Just as Kato Megumi thought, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little scared.

Although the plot did not contain any bloody or thriller scenes, nor was it anything special, she also discovered the same problem as Eriri.

Moreover, as a light novel writer, Kasumigaoka Utaha loves to use her imagination.

Such creative ideas similar to those in horror movies are the scariest for someone like her who likes to imagine things at will!

As the saying goes, you scare yourself.

"No, it's okay, Kato-san." After coughing, Kasumigaoka Utaha calmly withdrew her hand. Fortunately, it was hard to see her expression in the dark, otherwise Kato Megumi would definitely notice her abnormality.

In front of her junior schoolmate Kato Megumi, Shiyu still wants to maintain her image as a senior.

While they were talking, the long-standing plot of the movie finally reached its climax.

First there was a strange dark scene, and then the next second the camera stretched out, and a bulging eyeball and the strange arm that appeared at the beginning instantly occupied the entire projection screen.

“——Fuck!”

Similar exclamations were heard one after another in the cinema.

It seems that this sudden scene is still very scary.

"Eri...can you let go now?"

Feeling the pain in his right arm, Ji Qi's mouth twitched.

Why are you holding my hand?

"Oh……"

Ying Lili, who subconsciously grabbed the other person's arm, turned pale and did not notice the change in Ji Qi's address. She was cold all over, and only the hands sent waves of warmth. This made her reluctant or afraid to let go. This is really too scary!

……

PS: Thanks to Ling Ruohan, the daily dead otaku, Xue Luo Cheng Shang, the blade that is useless to learn! Thanks to Acedown for the 5000 reward, and thanks to Sipang for the 5000 recommendation votes... To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw so many recommendation votes when I woke up!

Chapter 269 Favorability Continues to Rise

After the movie was over, Ying Lili was still trembling with her neck shrunk, looking around cautiously, and still holding on to the sleeve of Ji Qi, the only man she knew, as if she was afraid that something scary would rush out.

At this point, it seems that he no longer cares about being shy or proud.

Seeing Eriri looking like a trembling little animal, Ji Qi found it a little funny. Kato Megumi's attributes were not developed much, but Eriri's were exposed first...

Honestly, it's pretty cute.

Even after walking out of the screening room, Eriri's condition had not yet disappeared.

"Why don't we go back today?" Without stopping her actions, Ji Qi asked while maintaining such an intimate posture.

"Wait, are you going to leave me alone?!"

"What aspect do you think of..."

With one hand on his forehead, Ji Qi gave up communicating with the now suspicious Eriri.

but……

Noticing a few strands of blonde hair sticking out of the other person's hat, Ji Qi reminded him, "Sawamura, your hair is exposed."

"Don't scare me!"

Ying Lili's neck shrank again, her sleeves grasped closer, and she moved closer to Ji Qi. The horror movie just now had many supernatural events and horror scenes about "hair", and she obviously thought of this aspect.

In the eyes of outsiders, the height difference between the two and their posture undoubtedly make them a well-matched couple.

Ji Qi shut up tactfully and said no more. It was fortunate that it was not night time, otherwise Ying Lili's emotions would be even more intense.

Suddenly, he felt the subtle gazes from two familiar women from time to time, and he thought to himself, "Oh no, it seems they have been discovered?"

It must be because of Eriri...

Seeing Eriri's dazzling golden hair accidentally falling from her hat onto her shoulders, Ji Qi shook his head helplessly. In Asia, Eriri's golden hair, which can be called a work of art, is still very conspicuous. Coupled with the obvious outfits of the two, it is quite impressive that they have been able to hide it until now.

Forget it, if I’m discovered, I’ll be discovered. At most I’ll get a few complaints.

Ji Qi, who had a legitimate reason, quickly returned to his previous composure.

He lowered his head slightly and gently tucked the petite girl's messy blonde hair back into her wide hat.

"?"

Eriri blushed.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

After a while, she finally came to her senses and her earlobes turned red. After all, she had too little contact with men.

"You looked so ugly with your hair disheveled just now. Don't you care about your image?" Ji Qi replied seriously. After a pause, he continued mischievously: "Also, don't you think you are too rude to keep shouting 'Hey' and 'You guy'? I am your senior, right?"

"Then what should I call you?"

Ying Lili was stunned and responded subconsciously. As a well-educated young lady, she knew that it was rude to address him like that. But once they got to know each other well, she ignored these details.

hum-

"Senior, any name you like is fine."

Hearing the sound of the phone in his pocket, Ji Qi took out the phone and said casually.

Sure enough, it was a text message from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Evidence collection is complete. I never thought that my junior would have such a hobby~"

After leaving the cinema, two girls appeared in sight.

One of them narrowed his eyes and seemed to be smiling, while the other one was still as easy-going and ordinary as before.

"..."

Seeing the two of them, Eriri, who was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, blushed. She covered her expression with her hat and shrank behind Ji Qi.

"What a coincidence, Shiyu. Are you guys here to watch a movie too?"

Ji Qi ignored Ying Lili and pretended to be nonchalant. His expression of slight surprise and joy was just right. It perfectly expressed the expression of a normal encounter with two people.

He was testing it, and seemed to want to make a last-ditch effort.

Because he was not sure when Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others discovered them, maybe just now?

'Is there still such an operation? '

Eriri, who didn't look like a girl at all, looked strange, as if she had just met Ji Qi again. This man was really good at lying with his eyes open!

'Please start your performance.'

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say anything, her expression clearly told him so.

Seeing that the two girls being followed did not speak for a long time, Ji Qi coughed and laughed dryly: "Let's find a place to talk first."

Four people were standing together at the entrance of the cinema, two of them were dressed suspiciously, and one was extremely beautiful. Their weird combination attracted the attention of almost everyone.

On a bench in the shopping mall lounge area.

"Well, can you explain it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gathered her hair around her ears and raised her white and tender legs without any socks. Although she was talking to Ji Qi, she looked at Eriri who was hiding behind Ji Qi and looking away, feeling embarrassed.

He seemed to think that she was the mastermind.

Kato Megumi put the clothes bag aside, glanced at a few people, then took out her smartphone and started playing with it.

Finished!

Ji Qi will definitely give her away!

Recalling their experience together in the afternoon, Eriri felt dejected and desperate.

She was already prepared to be attacked to death by Kasumigaoka Utaha's vicious words. That woman would definitely not give up this opportunity.

"Well... I took it upon myself to bring Sawamura here today to conduct a club activity. You can define the activity as us observing you as spectators and looking for inspiration for your games. Yes, that's right."

But Ji Qi said something completely different from what she imagined.

What's going on?

Eriri's eyes widened.

The reality is the opposite of this...or rather, it's the complete opposite.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also looked at Ji Qi in surprise. From what she knew about Ji Qi, he would not do such a childish thing without informing the two of them.

There is a high possibility that it was Eriri Sawamura who took the initiative to do it, although she is not very clear about the reason.

Ji Qi blinked at Eriri.

The two of them bickered with each other in private, but he didn't care that Eriri was sometimes outspoken. That was her personality, no malice. He also knew that Eriri was very shy and wanted to save face, and she would definitely be embarrassed if he told her these things openly.

Anyway, he is used to being criticized and has a thick skin, so it doesn't matter if he is criticized by some harsh words.

Ying Lili twisted her two snow-white little hands together, and a faint feeling of being touched and shy emerged in her heart.

Completely calm, she sat next to the tall Ji Qi, feeling a sense of relief and security, which she had never felt when she was with the otaku Aki Tomoya.

Please forgive her for always comparing herself with Tomoya Aki - because from childhood to adulthood, he is the only male who has a close relationship with Eriri, so he can only be used as a reference.

But now, there is another man who is better than that otaku in every aspect.

……

PS: Thanks to Big 400 Fat for the blades, and also thanks to other big guys for the blades...φ(゜▽゜*)?

Chapter 270 A Life Gradually Drifting Away

"A stalker in the name of collecting material? When did our gaming club become like this?"

After giving Ji Qi and Eriri a meaningful glance, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not pursue the issue any further.

These two people are so compatible...even their complaints are similar.

Hearing these words that gave her a sense of déjà vu, Eriri thought silently in her heart.

"Okay, okay, that's probably what happened. I don't actually care about Qi...senior asked me to go shopping together." Although Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi didn't know the truth, Eriri, who knew everything about Qishi, rarely took the initiative to speak well of Qishi.

If she saw Ji Qi being hurt all the time, she would feel guilty and condemned in her heart!

Has anyone asked you how you feel?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's delicate face was filled with speechlessness. Normally, the victims were obviously her and Kato Megumi! Eriri is really a spoiled and self-centered young lady, right?
