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

What is love like?

Should I feel happy and sweet? Saying "I love you" and "I like you" every day.

What would it be like if it wasn’t sweet?

Is it passionate, hopeless, or melancholy?

I don’t know. I can’t figure it out.

It's funny, it's clearly a romance novel, but she can't even understand this.

However, she thought, even though she felt a little uneasy and scared now, this should be the feeling of being in love.

Everything is unknown.

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes.

Then, he gently placed his fingers to his lips.

Time passes quietly.

……

Ji Qi sat in a seat not too far from Shiyu, killing time on his cell phone.

By the way, he glanced at Shiyu.

Seeing her dazed look, Ji Qi wasn't quite sure what she was thinking.

Are you worried?

That's no problem.

It will definitely be much better than his situation that day.

On the extremely empty second floor, the two people had different thoughts.

Soon, the book signing session officially began.

Before Ji Qi put away his phone, he heard loud and hurried footsteps.

look.

It must be much better than me.

Looking up, a young man wearing black-framed glasses ran towards me quickly.

I feel like this scene is somewhat familiar...

Because the sense of déjà vu was too severe, Ji Qi, whose secondary job was to make complaints, began his complaints.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Maybe the sprint was too intense and the boy was breathing heavily.

Then, his eyes widened slightly.

"It's you, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

Such a powerful shout successfully brought Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was in a confused state, back to reality.

"what……"

"It's indeed Senior Kasumigaoka." Aki Tomoya pushed his glasses and said in surprise.

After taking a closer look, Kasumigaoka Utaha was also a little surprised.

What surprised her was not the person named Tomoya Aki, but the coincidence.

If my memory serves me right, although he was a little late, he was also the first one to arrive at Ji Qi's autograph session.

This person is really amazing in a sense.

Aki Tomoya took a deep breath, put the book he had read many times on the desk, and began his excited and eloquent speech: "Forget it, Kasumigaoka-senpai... No, Kasumigaoka-sensei, this book "Love Metronome" is really well written! It touched me a lot, I..."

Ji Qi tilted his head and watched the scene.

Akitomo didn't notice him either.

All in all, his presence should have doubled.

But judging from some reactions in life, it is still useless.

Anyway, my life is no longer in danger and others will remember me. It’s pretty good to live without being disturbed.

Ji Qi, whose mentality had changed a lot, thought optimistically.

Tomoya Aki continues to express his emotions.

After listening to the beginning for a while, Ji Qi turned his attention back to his phone.

He did not take the initiative to talk to Aki Tomoya.

There are plenty of opportunities to talk about this at ordinary times, and it's not appropriate to leave the main subject here in the cold on this occasion.

It was almost noon.

Ji Qi, who had been as quiet as a plant, with no one disturbing him and no one disturbing anyone, stood up from his chair.

I stretched my sore body.

After saying something to Kasumigaoka Utaha, he left the bookstore.

Of course, he went out not because he was bored, but because he wanted to eat, and he also wanted to bring a portion for Shiyu.

Although he didn’t eat at the last book signing, he still went backstage to see what the food was like.

Very general.

And Shiyu is in a special case now. From the information I read yesterday, there should be some dietary taboos, right?

So, he, who was addicted to his mobile phone, quietly went to solve his lunch problem.

Now that he has money, Ji Qi will definitely not treat himself badly in life.

After eating and drinking, he didn’t know what Kasumigaoka Utaha liked to eat, so he simply ordered a light bento that suited her physical condition.

When he saw that there was a food delivery service, he simply stated his requirements and asked the delivery man to deliver it.

After observing for a whole morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha was normal except for a short moment when she frowned and looked uncomfortable, but otherwise she was normal.

It doesn't matter whether he stays there or not.

The most important thing is that the bench is too uncomfortable to sit on...

Ji Qi decided to find a cafe to kill time, just like what she did with Kasumigaoka Utaha last time.

……

Chapter 107 Change of Mentality

While eating the soft cake in the coffee shop, Ji Qi casually cast his eyes on the quaint wall clock.

At this time, the book signing session would normally have ended.

Shiyu should be here soon.

result……

Shiyu didn’t wait until——

The mission was completed unexpectedly.

Eh...? What's going on?

This was something Ji Qi had never expected.

With a look of astonishment on his face, he thought about it carefully.

This should be considered as a natural result of yesterday's opportunity and today's coincidence.

Ji Qi had a complicated expression after figuring it out, and the cake in his mouth suddenly became tasteless.

The threat of death that had been always around us has completely disappeared.

I finally got rid of this task, so...

The question that he had kept deep in his heart before resurfaced.

There is no longer any excuse to continue finding reasons to comfort myself and escape.

He and this girl, Kasumigaoka Utaha, this extremely outstanding girl, had established a fairly solid bond from scratch.

He likes being with Shiyu.

I can't deny it, and I don't want to deny it.

Ji Qi knew that it was time to make a choice.

Under the compulsion of the system, he inevitably has to conquer other girls.

So, Shiyu would definitely be hurt.

No girl likes to see a boy she likes being intimate and ambiguous with other girls.

Does she have a crush on me now? Absolutely.

Especially girls like Kasumigaoka Utaha who are possessive and strong.

In order to prevent her from suffering greater harm in the future, it is extremely appropriate to sever the relationship between the two now.

It is difficult to establish relationships between people, and even more difficult to maintain them, but it is easy to destroy them.

The relationships of high school students are full of uncertainties.

Whether she admits it or not, Kasumigaoka Utaha is only sixteen this year. Although she is about to reach the legal age for marriage in Japan, her wonderful life has just begun.

Ji Qi admitted that her mind was much more mature than her peers, but that was all.

Ask yourself, are you really a good man?

When it comes to his own shortcomings, Ji Qi can find a lot of them, and they are not the same at all.

The advantages are pitifully few.

In order to make such an excellent girl fall in love with him, he was just an extremely despicable and mean person who took advantage of his all-knowing memory.

No matter how you look at it, he's definitely a scumbag, right?

What's more, he has to continue to pursue other girls while having an ambiguous relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

There is a line in the famous play "Hamlet": "To be or not to be, that is the question. Which of the two acts is nobler, to suffer in silence the slings and arrows of cruel fate, or to rise up to look upon the endless sufferings of the world and sweep them away by struggle?"

Ji Qi didn’t know what the correct answer was. He only knew that even with the system’s mandatory measures, there was no way to change this fact.

It is unforgivable to desecrate a girl's sincere feelings in this way.

How bad can this person be?

Ji Qi admitted that he was a bad scumbag.

So, should he choose to be an even more hopeless scumbag, or should he close his eyes and ruthlessly sever their relationship, letting go and letting Kasumigaoka Utaha face a better life in the future?

It is very easy to end this immature relationship.

Just simply say to her, I don’t want to see you, stay away from me.

Then it's very simple, the relationship between the two will instantly drop to freezing point.

See, their relationship now is so fragile.

Just like dominoes, a slight push will cause them to collapse.

Even if he still has a lucky and strange mentality in his heart for a short period of time, over time, Shiyu's proud character will never bother him again.

Ji Qi can be sure.

But, it doesn’t work.

I can't do it.

Really.
