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

Without one person there would be no need.

Speaking of banquets, the Obon Festival is coming soon...

Ji Qi thought thoughtfully that as he walked, the only girl left by his side was Kato Megumi.

It was only three or four in the afternoon, not even dusk yet, so the girls naturally did not need an escort.

"Senior has a very good relationship with Kasumigaoka-senpai, and Kasumigaoka-senpai is very bold." When the two were alone, Kato Megumi spoke in an emotionless voice, neither light nor heavy.

Ji Qi, who was thinking about something, was startled when he heard these light words. He twitched the corners of his mouth and explained uncomfortably: "...Because we have known each other for a long time, and we are in the same industry, ahaha."

"Ah, Senior, are you hinting that I came later?"

Kato Megumi replied faintly.

"No, no, it doesn't make any difference who came first or later." Ji Qi laughed dryly. Although it was cute that Hui was so jealous, and he was also very happy, their relationship was different from that of ordinary men and women in love!

"Looking back, it seems that I was the one who came first? After all, we were serious when we were young, even though we didn't have any feelings for each other at that time."

"...You first, you first."

"Senior, please don't make such an expression. I was just joking." Kato Megumi smiled as if she was a little embarrassed. Her pretty face, as white as jade, was slightly flushed, which was very attractive.

Sorry, I don't see that you're joking at all.

Besides, joking about this topic will really make people feel cold all over!

It turns out that it is impossible to deceive these girls.

Ji Qi rubbed his aching temple and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

After walking for about 20 minutes, not only Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed that Ji Qi was worried, Kato Megumi was the same, and only Eriri, who had the lowest EQ among the crowd, didn't notice anything. So after appropriately showing their presence, the two went back to their homes.

However, unlike Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kato Megumi said nothing.

Her idea was very simple, that is, as long as Ji Qi didn't do anything too excessive, she would silently stay by his side no matter what happened.

No words needed, just actions.

Ji Qi, who didn't realize that his condition had been completely seen through, returned home, sighed that today was also a peaceful day, then took a shower, changed clothes, and went back to his room to play games to kill time.

He is waiting for tomorrow's lottery draw.

Originally, Ji Qi planned to try out the save function as soon as he got home, but after thinking about it, nothing happened today, he might as well wait until tomorrow to buy the lottery ticket.

ps1: The aftereffects of a burst of updates... I took a break for half a day, it's not a break.

ps2: I don’t know much about Japanese lottery, and I guess you don’t like to read it, so I will abbreviate it and use the method directly according to the Chinese one.

Chapter 389 Did I know it first?

Overall, it was a very subtle day.

The sun rose as usual the next day.

Ji Qi stretched himself after waking up naturally. Although he was thinking about testing the new functions of the system, except for the initial excitement, he did not show too much emotion.

After getting up and getting dressed, Ji Qi, who didn’t rush to wash up today, sat in front of the computer and checked today’s lottery results.

He had not yet fully recovered and was planning to record it in his notebook, but after thinking about it, he realized that loading a save, as the name implies, is to restore everything to the previous operation. So now all physical records should be useless, and he can only remember it in his mind.

What if his thoughts were restored?

It shouldn't be such a high-end operation.

Ji Qi twitched the corner of his mouth.

His original intention was to memorize the number on the computer screen for the purpose of experiment. After he thought he had memorized it well and would not make a mistake, in order to verify his other idea more quickly, he went to the kitchen, picked up a fruit knife and cut his finger.

My hand is bleeding and it hurts a bit.

Wait until the pain is fully amplified, then return to the system and load the file.

The world fell into darkness, and then it lit up again.

Ji Qi moved from sitting in front of the computer to sitting on the bed.

I also changed into a new set of home clothes.

Ji Qi, who had this magical experience for the first time, couldn't help but marvel at it.

He touched his body and looked at his fingers. There was nothing wrong with his body and his mental state had not changed. However, the pain caused by the knife had not completely disappeared.

Is there no mental change? In other words, everything he experiences is extremely real, no matter what those things will cause his mental state to become.

Ji Qi seemed to be lost in thought. This topic could easily turn into philosophy, so after understanding the situation, he got up, wrote down the number, and washed up.

At first, there was inevitably some inconsistency between his senses and memory, but he quickly adapted to this little problem.

Except for wasting some time buying lottery tickets, Ji Qi repeated what he did yesterday and met Kato Megumi at the intersection again.

"Good afternoon, senior~"

"Good afternoon, Hui."

No change in greeting.

"Senior, your gaze is a little strange."

Hui, who was very sensitive, tilted her head, and there was a deviation in the second sentence.

"No, I just think Hui is super cute today." Facing the bright sunshine in the sky, Ji Qi narrowed his eyes and started to compliment the girl.

"Thank you, senior~~"

A blush appeared on Kato Megumi's fair face, and she smiled "hehehe" and said shyly.

Hearing the praise that had barely changed, Hui's reaction changed from expressionless complaints to that of a shy girl. The 'saint' who seemed to be calm and indifferent in the face of anything was also pulled down from the altar.

The two walked side by side towards the Tokyo Big Sight.

Although he could roughly remember today's developments, Ji Qi had no intention of deliberately changing them, whether for the good or the bad.

Just let it develop naturally.

So time came to the next day.

Although there are some minor changes in the world line during this period, the overall impact is not significant.

Ji Qi felt that his life was not decreasing but increasing. He looked at the number displayed on the computer screen, compared it with the number in his hand, and immediately smacked his lips.

One billion yen.

Thirty-five percent is deducted as tax.

After doing some calculations in his head, he realized that after deducting the necessary taxes, it would probably be equivalent to his income for two or three years. No, at the current momentum, it would be at most one or two years. After all, he was just starting out.

Thinking of this, Ji Qi, who was originally quite excited, scratched his head, and the hot emotions in his heart cooled down a lot.

But the first step was achieved without any surprises, and his heart was still filled with enthusiasm.

Because youth is an irreplaceable asset.

Maybe for other people of the same age, they can't do anything in these two or three years, but he saved these two or three most difficult years of development. He is clear about his future development and can even burst out with capital that is more powerful than most of his parents and family backgrounds.

It is very easy to make a fortune by taking advantage of memory and system.

Shaking his head, Ji Qi put on a mask, took out his ID card, original lottery ticket and bank card that he had prepared long ago, and went out.

His calm look hardly showed that he was an ordinary citizen who had won the jackpot.

When I arrived at the prize redemption office, I expressed my intention to redeem the prize, filled in the information and confirmed it. Under the envious and complicated gaze of the staff, I refused to accept any interview of any kind. I went to a nearby bank to apply for a new bank card and transfer money. It was extremely efficient.

If this were an urban novel, Ji Qi would have been scorned by the staff first, and then the villain would have gotten angry and wanted to get rich, and then he would have implicated the boss behind the scenes. Or maybe the lottery company simply refused to admit it or there was some shady deal going on, so the plot would continue...

However, in reality, none of this happened.

He didn't know whether there were any shady dealings in the Japanese lottery industry chain, and he was too lazy to care. At least he didn't encounter any obstacles.

The staff was cooperative and welcoming.

If he could give a good review, he would definitely give it full marks!

When Ji Qi returned home without any delay, several hours had still passed.

After all, matters involving such huge amounts of wealth require too many, and too troublesome, procedures.

Of course, he thought most people were like him and wouldn't find it a problem.

After checking the new bank card and looking at the long string of zeros on it, Ji Qi, who had never felt it was real, felt more relieved than excited, as if he had achieved something.

Leaning back in his chair, Ji Qi, who was in a delicate mood, subconsciously sent a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

In this case, who is the first girl that comes to mind completely subconsciously can actually explain some problems.

But Ji Qi hasn't noticed it yet.

"Shiyu, I won the first prize today!"

"Huh? What first prize? Do you suddenly want me to give you some reward?"

The other party responded quickly.

"Ah, the lottery I bought yesterday won the first prize." Ji Qi said to Kasumigaoka Utaha, whom he had known from the beginning and who was to some extent his fellow sufferer, without any intention of hiding anything. He was not worried about any financial problems at all, and he had never even thought about it.

If Shiyu really wanted it, he wouldn't even blink an eye even if he gave all the money to her.

As if he was thinking about the amount of information in this sentence, he paused for a moment, and then the text message from Shiyu came.

"…Why did you suddenly go to buy lottery tickets? And you won at the first try? You are not awake yet, are you?"

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's normal reaction, Ji Qi knew which method was the most useful and took a picture and sent it to the other party with some amusement.

"……………………"

"Am I the first one to know about this?"

All he got was a bunch of ellipsis and a slightly ambiguous sentence.

Chapter 390: Turns out she's still a yandere?

Should we say that art is indeed derived from reality? Even though there is no White Album in this world, the girls love to argue about who came first.

Well, putting myself in his shoes, Ji Qi also thinks this issue is very important.

Because this is a moral issue. Not every girl can bear the feeling of being a third party.

So in response to Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Ji Qi, who decided to take everything on herself, replied decisively: "Of course I told you first."

In fact, this is indeed true.

In the exquisite and chic bedroom, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was wearing pure white pajamas with nothing underneath, rolled over happily on her big bed after reading the message.

Her slender white thighs rubbed against each other intentionally or unintentionally, and her lips curled up: "Hey, hey, even in this kind of thing, I'm the first one he thought of. I know that I'm the most important in his heart!"

With no one else around, the black-haired girl, who didn't hide her emotions at all, had a happy little girl look on her face.

This emotion instantly suppressed the shock of learning that my sweetheart had won the lottery.

To be honest, when she first saw that long string of amounts, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt very complicated.

The distance between her and Ji Qi was already far enough, and after this happened, wouldn't it be increasingly difficult for her to get close to him?

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha likes him very much, it is impossible for her to become like other girls who completely lose themselves and willingly become a vase or a little bird. She will still stick to her career and dreams, and try to help Ji Qi as much as possible in professional aspects, occasionally pointing out her shortcomings without hesitation, instead of just listening to what the man says.

Although such an independent and strong girl is not as popular with men as gentle girls, this is also the biggest feature that distinguishes her from most of the same girls.

As for money, Kasumigaoka Utaha really never even thought about it.

She would not say that she would ignore money, but she is not the kind of girl who worships money. Her royalties are enough to support the life she wants, and she is very satisfied with her current life.

Even when Shiyu learned that Ji Qi had won such a big prize, her first feeling was not to be happy for him, but a slightly dark feeling of loss in her heart.

People will fall in love with each other because of their excellent external conditions. Kasumigaoka Utaha dare not say that she is an exception. After all, if Ji Qi really has no special characteristics, why would she fall in love with him? Is it the halo of the protagonist of the light novel?

But once she has feelings, and the relationship has reached the point she is at now, to be honest, she really feels that whether the other person has money or not, and all the advantages and excellences in him are no longer important.

Even though Ji Qi's comics have been cut short, her novels have been adapted into animations, and she has nothing left, becoming an ordinary person who has to go to work like most ordinary people, she still firmly believes that her feelings will never diminish in the slightest.
