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

However, he is still at the stage of feeling his way forward as to how to proceed.

At this moment, Ji Qi suddenly had the illusion that someone was staring at him.

…It doesn’t seem to be an illusion.

Noticing a certain girl in the room from the corner of his eye, Ji Qi rubbed his temple and smiled, "What's wrong, Mashiro?"

That’s right, at around 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening, the only single man or woman who was in the same room with him was Mashiro, besides his sister.

“I don’t know how to draw this.”

There were piles of drawings in front of her. The girl who was sitting upright on the chair tilted her head and spoke softly in an ethereal and pleasant voice.

"Let me take a look." Ji Qi stopped what he was doing and came to Mashiro's side with interest.

The work desk was very clean and tidy. After his tireless reminders, Mashiro finally began to care about this issue. The top drawing was a completed storyboard. Only the dialogue lines in the dialog box were left unfilled. It seemed that she didn't know how to design the lines here.

The plot of this four-frame comic can be simply described as follows: the good-for-nothing male protagonist who can only draw finally musters up the courage to confess his love to the female protagonist, and now all he lacks is the female protagonist's response.

Looking at this scene, Ji Qi touched his chin. If he remembered correctly, the progress of the Mashiro comics shouldn't be that fast, right? Did they jump directly to the confession scene without any major events?

Considering it from the perspective of the work, it is undoubtedly a bit abrupt.

But there is another setting in Mashiro's comics - the characters in it can find corresponding prototypes from reality, and the genders are changed at the same time. In other words, he is the heroine and Mashiro is the hero.

So her intention is...

Ji Qi glanced at Mashiro calmly.

Although she looks as pure and innocent as ever on the surface, a closer look reveals that she seems a little nervous?

It's just pointing out a line, why is Mashiro nervous?

Ji Qi, who had figured out something, suddenly smiled and spoke slowly under the girl's gaze:

"Mashiro, what do you think is the best answer for the heroine here?"

"..." Mashiro blinked her cherry blossom eyes, and after a long pause, she opened her mouth and gave a simple and straightforward answer, "Promise."

"Then I'll agree to it."

Ji Qi nodded seriously, looking at the cute expression of Zhenbai who was a little bit at a loss, he smiled and touched her little head. He didn't expect that Zhenbai had learned these little tricks! Although it can be seen at a glance.

Perhaps realizing that her trick had been discovered, the girl's fair face showed a faint, inconspicuous blush, as if ripples suddenly appeared on a calm lake.

"By the way, Mashiro, how do you think the plot will develop after they start dating? After all, there are other female characters."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qi asked tentatively.

In Mashiro's comics, there are not only these two, but also characters like Sagiri and Shiha. Whether it is a girl's comic or a gal, once the hero and heroine start dating, the story usually goes straight to the end, and there are rarely any unexpected changes.

He asked this question to see Mashiro's reaction from the side.

The blonde girl, who seemed to have walked out of a comic book, seemed not to understand Ji Qi's subtext and said calmly:

"It'll be fine if it goes on like this."

Her expression was as expressionless as usual, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking beneath her indifferent appearance.

'That's almost like saying nothing.'

Ji Qi sighed silently. It turned out that although Mashiro seemed to be the easiest to deal with, she was actually a very troublesome person.

Can he really succeed?

Chapter 445 I like it very much

(Not only do I want to update daily, I want to update two chapters a day! Come on, praise me.)

Two days passed quickly after Mashiro used the flirting tricks she learned from somewhere on him last time.

Saturday.

The school is also closed.

As for Shiyu, there was still no response. Just as she said, she really didn't want to waste a single minute in the past few days, and put all her heart and soul into creation.

Currently, Ji Qi is holding a discussion meeting via video with three other members of the gaming club.

That’s right, there are three of them. In addition to Eriri and Kato Megumi, Sagiri, who is considered a foreign aid, is also among them.

It's just that she was staying not far from Ji Qi.

"It's too late. This is the last day! Kasumigaoka Utaha is so late that she must be hiding somewhere to escape! I really believed in her before!"

On the computer screen, Eriri, wearing her old-fashioned green sportswear and black-framed glasses, was grabbing her hair in distress.

Kato Megumi, who still has long flowing hair, expressed a different opinion:

"Eh? Isn't there still one day left? As a club partner, we should trust Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"Hui, you don't understand at all! All creators are like this! When they are stuck in a bottleneck and close to the deadline, it is basically the most dangerous situation! Either they break through the bottleneck and fail to meet the deadline, or they are completely stuck and fail to meet the deadline. There is no third way!"

"It feels like you, Eriri, have learned a painful lesson."

"That's what I've experienced! In short, you've written so many things, don't you understand? You should have been closely monitoring her at this time! Leaving her alone is like calling it a day!"

"Can you please call other people by their names properly, Eriri-san? And I think what Kei said is right. We should trust Shiyu-senpai. After all, although she often delays submission of manuscripts, she always follows the deadlines and has never failed to do so."

Ji Qi couldn't help but come out and say a good word for his senior.

"Then congratulations on getting her virginity." Eriri curled her lips, and seemed quite pessimistic about Kasumigaoka Utaha's retreat this time.

"Well, after all, it doesn't matter if Kasumigaoka-senpai can't make it in time, right? It's not like we'll never be able to make it if we miss the deadline. No one should say anything if it's just delayed a little bit, right? Why is senpai so persistent?"

Kato Megumi, who hadn't been able to contact Shiyu in the past few days, sighed softly.

Yes, why.

Ji Qi was also thinking silently in his heart.

Eriri in the video propped up her chin and said, "I can understand Kasumigaoka Utaha. If that's the reason, there's really nothing we can do."

"By the way, Eriri seems to have been adding drama to herself lately."

"Mei! Have you become particularly sinister recently?"

"..."

Upstairs, Sagiri, who was the youngest and usually had no say, listened to their conversation and puffed her lips.

My brother actually thinks that woman in black stockings is so important. This feels a bit unpleasant!

"Anyway, I've put it here. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. I'm going to go paint first. I've been busy with things here lately and I still have a lot of work to do." Ying Lili yawned and hung up the video.

After Eriri left, Kato Megumi said softly:

"Senior, if Kasumigaoka-senpai hasn't contacted us by tomorrow, we'll go find her."

"Well, it's really worrying that there has been no news for so long."

If Ji Qi hadn't confirmed from Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents that she was fine, he would have probably gone to find someone long ago.

"Ah, my mother called me, so I'll hang up now, Senior."

After saying this hurriedly, Kato Megumi cut off the video in which another shouting voice could be vaguely heard.

Only two people were left in the discussion group, and Sagiri's slightly cheerful voice rang out, "Brother, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you!"

"I'm not picky about food, Sagiri, just cook what you like. And as for the game, I'm sorry, Sagiri."

"Eh? Brother, why are you apologizing?"

It was clearly that woman's fault.

Sagiri quickly waved her hand and smiled sweetly, "I don't mind, brother."

Her emotional intelligence is not low, and she knows exactly what to say and when to say it. If she shows the wrong stance at this time, it will undoubtedly make her brother's impression of her decrease!

She wouldn't allow such a thing!

"Thank you for your help, Sagiri."

Ji Qi was somewhat relieved by his sister's attitude. To be honest, Shiyu's mistake this time could actually be blamed on him, but he was not in a position to tell them the real reason.

If they blame Shiyu too much, he will feel very uncomfortable.

While his sister was cooking, Ji Qi walked to the window of the room and opened the curtains, wanting to breathe some fresh air.

Then, he froze.

Because pure white snow was falling from the sky.

The streets were covered with snow before anyone knew it.

Ah, ah, it turns out that this season has already arrived.

Ji Qi looked up with a complicated expression, looking at this beautiful scene.

After looking at the snow scene for a long time, he suddenly seemed to remember something, picked up his mobile phone and edited a text message.

"It's snowing outside. This should be the first time I've seen snow this year. To be honest, I don't really like this season right now. The reason is quite funny. I was simply influenced by an animation."

'Come to think of it, we haven't been in touch for just a few days, but it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time. I always feel a little awkward.'

"I just had a meeting with Kei and the others. Although Eriri keeps complaining, she actually cares about you... and me too. So, I will come to you tomorrow, regardless of whether the script is finished or not. Even if I am scolded or forced, I cannot let you continue to be so willful."

"If possible, I really want to reconcile with you then."

"...I accidentally said so much. When did I become a chatterbox? But I think it's because you are too worrying. Anyway, see you tomorrow."

After pressing the send button, Ji Qi took a deep breath.

He didn't know how many text messages like this he had sent to Kasumigaoka Utaha in the past few days.

I really didn’t think so much at first, but I don’t know why I said so much.

When he thought of her usual voice, appearance and smile, he could hardly control his emotions.

I don’t know whether Kasumigaoka Utaha has calmed down during this period of cold war, but after this separation, he really saw himself clearly.

He really did like that guy.

like very much……

Chapter 446 It’s the season of white photo albums again!

(Oh my god, listening to Bai 2's execution song in these two chapters is so exciting!)

Sunday.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha hasn't contacted me at all. How are you guys doing?" Because it was snowing heavily outside, the way they chose to communicate today was still video conferencing.

Maybe today is the last day of the deadline. Eriri, who was wearing pink pajamas, became serious.

She also tried to contact senior Shiyu in the past two days, but both her calls and messages fell on deaf ears, which made the tsundere girl a little unhappy.

"I do not have either."

Kato Megumi said that she is the same as Eriri.

Finally, Ji Qi also shook her head. The eccentric and weird woman seemed to be determined this time. Her cell phone must have been turned off long ago.

"How much time do we have left?"

Ying Lili, with disheveled hair, scratched her hair and asked. When she thought that all her hard work for half a year would go to waste, she became very depressed.

But at the same time, she was also hoping that Shiyu could catch up before the deadline.

Ji Qi answered nonchalantly, "A few hours."

"I really shouldn't have expected anything from that guy. Never mind. This will give me a chance to rest for a while."

Eriri sighed.

"Ah, mom told me that my cousin is here, and asked me to go say hello. Senpai and Eriri, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Hey, Hui, you have a cousin."

"Rather, everyone has relatives like this... Why do you sound so surprised, Eriri?"

Seeing Kato Megumi gradually walking out of the room in the video, Ji Qi was about to say something, but at this moment, the cell phone he placed on the table suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone without even looking to see who it was from. After all, he had been in contact with a lot of people from all walks of life recently, and anyone could contact him, especially at this time.
