she says:
"I think this is a life that is very worth cherishing."
"Oh? It's so ordinary!" Yang Wen asked curiously, inquiring about the girl's opinion. "How do you know?"
Sakura held the warm teacup in both hands.
"I'll be troubled by studying, and I'll be scolded by my elders for making small mistakes. I can eat some hot junk food on a street corner for very little money. I can also sit in a completely safe room and pour my emotions into my favorite games and stories..."
Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable seriousness.
"It is precisely because you grew up in an ordinary life that you have become such a gentle person."
The girl's eyes crinkled into crescents, and her smile held a hint of longing.
"You are willing to patiently listen to a stranger's complaints, and you are willing to comfort me when I am unhappy... I think these are all wonderful qualities that you have cultivated in your ordinary life."
Upon hearing these words, Yang Wen's lips curled into a slight smile.
She truly lives up to her reputation as a girl with a perfect anime/manga personality.
The words that came out were too anime-like.
She has the personality traits of a pink-haired heroine in a classic magical girl anime.
But Yang Wen had to admit that this kind of personality was far too devastating on a real-life girl.
Perhaps this is the goal that "immersive sleep aids" aim to achieve?
Let a cute, three-dimensional girl with an anime-like personality win over the player...
She is a model of a "cyber girlfriend".
Yang Wen couldn't help but mention that even someone with a "heart of stone" who had played hundreds of visual novels was slightly moved.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Oh? I'm very gentle?"
“Yes!” Sakura held up a finger. “Big brother can’t deny that!”
"Ha, that's too superficial. Isn't it possible that I'm also trying to gain something from you?"
"Oh, I'd really like to hear that." Sakura smiled, all ears.
Yang Wenqing cleared his throat, his expression immediately turning serious.
"Actually, I treated you like the heroine of a visual novel. I went to great lengths to say nice things just to increase your affection for me."
"Huh?! Is Sakura about to be won over?!"
The girl made an exaggerated expression of surprise.
She also became serious.
"Actually, I also see you as the male protagonist in an otome game, and I'm scheming to win you over. I want to increase your affection level! I even want to get special CGs!"
Sakura's overly fake expression made Yang Wenyi inadvertently laugh.
"...What are you doing?"
When the girl saw him smile, she smiled too.
"Hee hee~"
The dream seemed to last a very long time. Their casual conversation, pieced together, could perhaps form a book.
Perhaps due to differences in nationality, Yang Wen discovered that the two had many different perceptions.
Can eggs be eaten raw? Can beef be dipped in egg yolk? Should shrimp be steamed, stir-fried, or made into tempura?
But this difference actually made them have a very pleasant conversation.
During a casual change of topic, Yang Wen noticed a slight change in the mood icon above Sakura's head.
So he simply asked,
What are you still troubled by? Tell me about it.
"...Well, I can't hide it from you after all."
Perhaps because she talks too much about herself in her dreams, Sakura seemed very embarrassed to speak up.
"...I always feel like you understand me very well, big brother."
"Alright, go ahead and say it." Yang Wen nodded.
Sakura nodded, briefly organizing her thoughts...
"Actually, it's still about 'that person'."
After Sakura explained, Yang Wen understood what she meant.
It's simply a desire to better understand "the person" who has been helping you, but also a fear of being disliked.
Yang Wen found it somewhat amusing.
It really does have that visual novel feel.
To resolve the girl's inner conflict.
And then there are the troubles of youth...
While lamenting whether he was "getting old," Yang Wen pondered a reply in an anime style, with a touch of gentleness, adding his own words:
"You're still so stubborn."
"Ugh... don't call me weird..."
Sakura rarely showed a little temper with him, and her cheeks puffed out slightly.
Yang Wen said casually,
"You're overthinking it."
After saying that, Yang Wen snatched the dessert from Sakura's plate.
Sakura blinked. Then she heard Yang Wen's question:
"If 'that person' just needs a puppet who obeys his orders, why would he go to such lengths to help you solve those problems?"
Sakura lowered her head thoughtfully: "Big brother means..."
Yang Wen took a bite of the cookie and looked up at the distant sky.
“What I mean is, since He respects you and helps you, it means He has never treated you as a mere ‘tool’.”
What you need to do is not to 'dig deeper,' but to 'understand.'
"Perhaps, He has already tacitly allowed you to 'understand' Him with your own eyes."
Sakura murmured softly.
"understand……?"
"understand."
Yang Wen chuckled softly.
So, just do it if you want to. Because...
He leaned forward slightly, looking into the girl's bewildered eyes, and said gently,
"You want to help Him, right?"
These words seemed to strike a nerve with Sakura, causing the girl's shoulders to tremble slightly.
“I…” Sakura pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly to think, then slowly raised her head.
"I want to understand Him. I want to explore His identity and follow His gaze."
"Not just to satisfy curiosity, but to be qualified to stand beside Him in the future..."
"I want to be His true 'partner'!"
Hearing these words, Yang Wen raised his glass:
"come on."
“Mmm!” Sakura also raised her glass.
The two teacups collided with a "ping".
……
……
The next day, at the entrance of the Demon Government Office.
Emma looked at her chat history with Shirley on her phone screen:
[Sherry-senpai: The god of magical girls? I don't know. You can try looking in the Magic Bureau library.]
Therefore, Emma went to the Bureau of Demon Administration.
Looking out at the endless wasteland barrier, Emma clasped her hands together...
"Go Emma!
Cheering herself up, the girl headed towards the Demon Bureau.
Volume 1: Chapter 38 The Popular Magical Girl, Sakura Emma! (5k views remaining this afternoon)
"Hey~ Isn't this my junior? Oh my gosh~"
"Good morning..."
……
"Hmm? You're that pink Grim Reaper that's often mentioned in the chat group? Good morning!"
"Good morning, senior... please don't call me the Pink Reaper..."
……
"You came so early today? You're really hardworking."
"Hahaha……"
"Want to join me in destroying this world where you have to go to work to survive?"
"Let's skip it..."
……
"Don't think you've won! I'll definitely be the most popular next time!"
"Okay, good luck..."
"Hmph! I heard you soloed the Banqiao district all by yourself? Add me on Line and ask me to help you out, okay?"
"Huh? So you're not a tsundere after all?"
"Who are you calling arrogant?!"
"sorry!!!"
……
In front of the main building of the Demon Government Bureau.
"Oh~~~"
Emma leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
"So this is what Hannah's life is like?"
She slowly slid down to the wall, squatted down, and curled herself into a ball.
Within half an hour of entering the Demon Bureau, she found herself caught in a vortex of "greetings".
They greet you every five steps, take a photo every ten, and if you haven't walked fifty steps, they'll definitely stop you and force you to have a chat...
This situation made Emma wonder if the magical girls were too extroverted, or if she herself was too introverted.
Emma thought to herself, silently opened her phone, and scrolled to a post on Instagram:
[Shocking! A magical girl has appeared in Banqiao District! [Images][Images][Images]]
