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

But now she not only has to take the blame, but also has to bear such great pressure to create. Just thinking about it makes him feel a little distressed.

No matter what, I have to be nicer to Shiyu in the future.

Ji Qi, feeling secretly guilty, silently made up his mind.

After a while, he carefully replied to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, "Shiyu, don't be so anxious about the script. Your health is the most important thing. If you really can't write it, don't force yourself. I think Huiying and Lili can understand you. At most, we can postpone the release date for a while. It's not like we won't sell it anymore, right?"

In Ji Qi's heart, Shi Yu's health was definitely more important than the game they made. He didn't even think about it.

After all, he is not a man who indulges in the fantasy world of the second dimension. He is not seeking money or profit from the release of a fan game that he generates out of love. So what's wrong with postponing it for a while?

So he said this easily.

only……

No response?

Like Eriri, Ji Qi was also waiting for Kasumigaoka Utaha's answer, but it seemed that she had gone into seclusion to write, just as she had said.

"There's nothing to worry about, right? I can just shamelessly go to her house!"

Ji Qi leaned back in his chair, looking at the soft light on the ceiling, thinking so.

After thinking about life for a while, he picked up his phone and contacted several industry professionals.

Recently, with the surge in money and fame, his network of contacts has rapidly expanded due to several opportunities. The people he currently contacts are on a completely different level than before.

There is no way, this society is so realistic.

Anyway, since Kasumigaoka Utaha said so, he chose to believe her. He would prepare for Utaha all the work that a producer should do, such as debugging the game, submission procedures, and event preparation, and everything would be fine once she finished the script.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it.

Ji Qi added another sentence.

……

the next day.

Because of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Ji Qi went to class after a long absence. Ignoring the whispers of his classmates, he looked at the empty seat in front of him and frowned.

She really took leave.

Really, is it necessary to go to this extent?

But he still respected Shiyu's choice.

Ji Qi played with the pen in his hand, feeling a little emotional.

Time passes.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the bell representing the end of school rang throughout the school.

Ji Qi, who hadn't had a good school for a long time, stretched. To be honest, he quite liked his time on campus. However, the many things on hand really made it impossible for him to relax and enjoy college life.

School in Japan ends early as usual, around 4 o'clock. Calculating the time, he decided to go home and draw comics since he had no special reason to stay in school.

Although Ji Qi nominally joined a service club, he was not a love saint. He hadn't dealt with Senior Shiyu yet, so if he were to face Xue No now, he would feel a little overwhelmed.

The gaming club just had a meeting yesterday, and without Shiyu, he lost interest.

So Ji Qi ran straight out of the school gate.

However, in the lobby on the first floor, a heroine with long flowing hair called him softly.

"Senior, please wait a moment. I want to discuss yesterday's matter with you again..."

Chapter 443 You guys have such a good relationship

"Hui? What happened yesterday, do you mean the party? But you should have read Shiyu's text message?" Near the shoe box in the hall, Ji Qi shrugged at the girl in front of him who seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Yeah. I saw it." The heroine, whose presence was gradually becoming similar to that of an ordinary person, walked beside him very naturally and answered softly.

Ji Qi hesitated for a moment, "Then there would be no point in having a party. Shiyu has already said that she wants to put everything aside for the time being and start writing the script with all her strength."

"But how long will Senior Kasumigaoka lock herself up? She didn't come to school today either." Kato Megumi's calm voice was tinged with worry, and she obviously hadn't completely let go of Shiyu's situation. After all, it was too rare for a senior to be in that state.

"She said this weekend, didn't she? But according to the game development deadline, the bottom line is next Monday. If I pay a little more, I can probably delay it for another day or two, but that's the limit."

Although it is very irrational to discuss another woman in front of a woman, this is a special situation and Ji Qi communicated with Kato without any worries.

"How about we go look for Kasumigaoka-senpai together on Sunday? I'm worried about her condition. And if the script is finished, we can celebrate it."

Kato Megumi stopped, stared at him with her bright eyes as clear as water, and once again brought up her idea from yesterday.

When did they become so close?

Ji Qi was a little confused, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that they had known each other for nearly a year. He had even asked Kasumigaoka Utaha to teach Hui how to dress herself, and they would occasionally go shopping together on weekends. When he thought about it, he felt relieved.

After thinking about his recent trip in his mind, Ji Qi did not give a definite answer:

"If there are no unexpected events, it should be possible. But it would be meaningless if Shiyu didn't take the initiative to contact us. You know her personality. If she doesn't finish the script, she will definitely not be willing to leave the computer."

"That's true. Anyway, if there is any situation with Kasumigaoka-senpai, Himechi-kun must inform me immediately."

Kato Megumi gave a wry smile and seemed to agree with what he said.

Hearing this, Ji Qi asked in confusion, "Why me?"

"Well, it's because Kasumigaoka-senpai and Hime-shichi-kun have the best relationship. It seems like there are some things they won't tell us except you."

Miss Kato glanced at him lightly. Although her expression and tone were calm, her meaningful words made Ji Qi want to kneel down on the spot.

After two seconds of silence, he said decisively:

"I understand. If Shiyu contacts me, I will definitely tell Hui as soon as possible."

"It's a deal."

"It's agreed."

Hui looked serious, as if she cared about this matter very much - not just as if, her various uncharacteristic behaviors showed that she really cared about this matter.

It seems like I've seen this plot somewhere before.

Ji Qi touched his chin and thought for a moment.

Then, he thought of the original plot of the passerby.

The interpersonal relationships are completely different, and the process takes a long time, but in the end, can't you escape this plot-killing plot?

Ji Qi's expression became complicated. He had a deep impression of the detonator that caused the collapse of the society. He didn't expect that he would also face a test.

Fortunately, knowing the cause and effect, he will not repeat the same mistake.

"By the way, Kasumigaoka-senpai, can you take care of yourself and eat well?..."

After getting the assurance, Kato Megumi finally felt relieved, and then asked another question worriedly. Although she didn't expect Ji Qi to give an answer, she still couldn't help but speak.

"That's hard to say. I think Shiyu will definitely choose a quiet environment where she won't be disturbed in order to focus on her manuscripts these days. For example, a hotel. As for food, although she won't eat on time when inspiration comes, Shiyu will definitely prepare milk, apples and other things. There's no need to worry too much about nutrition..."

Ji Qi also started to talk helplessly, but halfway through, he was suddenly startled and quickly shut his mouth.

Looking at Kato Megumi again, she was still expressionless and calm, but he didn't know if it was because Ji Qi felt guilty, but he always felt that this expression had a deep meaning.

"Well, Ji Qijun knows Kasumigaoka-senpai so well that he knows even these small details clearly. It turns out that you two have a very good relationship."

The girl said with a smile.

There was inevitably a hint of bitterness and resentment in his tone.

Although she was worried about her friend’s situation before, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw the expression of the person she liked and saw his feelings for other girls revealed in the small details.

Only a true saint can remain indifferent in the face of such a situation.

Unfortunately, beneath Kato Megumi's seemingly saintly temperament, she actually has the heart of an ordinary girl.

Friendship is friendship, love is love. The girl named Kato Megumi clearly distinguishes these two.

Ji Qi knew that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject:

"When this is over, I will tell Shiyu how worried we are about her."

"Ah, it doesn't matter what happens. But then again, will it be a problem for Kasumigaoka-senpai to stay in the hotel alone? The weather has been so cold recently, what if she suddenly catches a cold and has a fever and ruins her health?"

"..."

Ji Qi didn't respond randomly this time. He had said everything he needed to say anyway. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, and the less he spoke, the fewer mistakes he would make.

They walked out of the school gate, chatting all the way. When they arrived at the door of their home, the heroine waved to him gently, "See you tomorrow, Ji Qijun."

"See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the excited Hui, Ji Qi returned home and thought about their conversation. He couldn't help but send another text message to Kasumigaoka Utaha on his mobile phone.

"Don't push yourself, Shiyu. If anything goes wrong, just call me and I'll be there right away."

Still no reply.

Ji Qi stared at the screen of his mobile phone, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

In an unknown hotel.

Wearing only a thin shirt, Kasumigaoka Utaha's fingers moved as fast as dancing, and the document on the computer quickly changed from a blank to a pile of text.

It has to be said that Ji Qi really knows Shi Yu well. The girl's current situation is almost exactly as he expected, even the fruits on the table are the same.

With her mind a little stagnant, Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed the remote control on the table and pressed it twice, muttering to herself, "It's so hot, turn the air conditioner down a bit."

Then, after a short rest, the girl forced herself to concentrate and put her fingers on the keyboard again.

Chapter 444 It's fine if it goes on like this

(As expected, this book was fun and easy to write. By the way, I recently rewatched the anime "The Passerby" and felt so sorry for the senior.)

Two days passed quickly.

Today is Thursday.

There are less than three days left until the deadline that Kasumigaoka Utaha set for herself.

Ji Qi was also very busy these past two days. After all, if you really counted it, his work was no less than that of Ying Lili and the others, especially if he wanted to do better.

However, despite being busy, he still insists on sending Shiyu a few text messages every day.

Even though she never replied, and no one knew whether she saw it and ignored him on purpose, or if she really didn't see it, he never stopped.

Some of them were simple consolations, some were about their work progress, and some were touching and lingering love words. Although these love words seemed subtle under his last declaration, his feelings were indeed sincere and unadulterated.

After such a long time, Ji Qi also carefully examined his feelings - not only towards Shiyu, but also towards other girls.

Was it because of his true feelings that he didn't want to let them go, or was it because he felt guilty about his initial approach with a purpose that led to this idea?

There is a huge difference between these two emotions.

After all, this is the real world, and there won't be a situation like in the second dimension where only one man can be the one. If you hold the latter idea, it's a bit unreasonable.

Regardless of whether they were fictional paper people in the past, the fact is now that they appear before him alive.

They have their own ideas. If they are hurt, they will resent someone. If they are helped, they will repay the favor. Occasionally, they will make some illogical and playful moves. They are living beings, not illusions that only follow the established routes of others.

So, of course, he should respect them and understand them, instead of carrying the system and thinking that all girls are his.

Think about it from another perspective, do they need this kind of love that comes with guilt?

They are only in their teens, in the most touching years of youth. They still have a long way to go in life. Even without this youthful first love which cannot be said to be unforgettable, Shiyu can still live a good life.

If he was just feeling guilty and wanting something in return, he thought it would be better to just let it go.

Thinking about it carefully, Ji Qi thought that he liked them.

Admittedly, as a man who has watched countless works, he had certain ideas when facing these heroines, but as he gradually came into contact with them, he had long put this feeling aside.

Then, the inevitable heartbeat came.

It would be a lie to say that there is really no emotion. After all, the girls are so pretty and cute. What's more rare is that they are full of distinctive characteristics and wisdom, not just vases with beautiful appearance. After spending a long time with such girls, any man will lose control, right?

Then the answer is obvious.

If you like it, work hard at it.
