Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Encounter on the rooftop

Hearing what Futaba Rio said, Yozora nodded without comment.

"Well, go on."

At this time, Futaba Rio has completely entered the analysis mode.

She took out a ballpoint pen from the breast pocket of her white coat, tore off a piece of paper from a notebook, and wrote on it while muttering to herself.

"Hmm... that should be the direction... but we also have to consider another possible impact..."

After a long while, Futaba Rio finally raised her head, pushed her frame, and pushed the paper forward in front of Yozora.

"Look at this."

Yozora looked down and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Wow, you are quite professional. You even drew a mind map?"

"Of course."

Futaba Rio still had that expressionless look on her face, and simply explained.

"According to the settings you provided, there is currently a 'protagonist' who is completely incapable of fighting."

"You should understand without me telling you that two 'protagonists' can definitely clear the supply point faster than one person."

"And according to what you said, there are 'assistance points' in the city that may provide assistance and allow the 'protagonist' to improve his combat power."

"Then this is the most important thing."

Yozora thought that she was indeed worthy of being Futaba Rio.

After receiving a large amount of information, he can come to the same conclusion as me within just a few minutes.

She is indeed a genius science girl who started studying quantum mechanics in high school.

Then, Futaba Rio changed the subject.

"But according to the intelligence you provided, this so-called 'assistance point' is not necessarily absolutely safe."

"According to the setting, if you want to get the help of the NPC there, you have to pay a certain price."

"Before the meeting, the 'protagonist' did not know whether he had enough bargaining chips to pay the price demanded by the other party."

"If they can't pay, it's likely to lead to fighting."

After hearing Futaba Rio's obscure words, Yozora nodded in understanding.

In fact, as long as you use a chuuni translator to convert the other party's analysis into words that normal people can understand, it will be much easier to understand.

The so-called 'protagonists' are him and Yotsuya Miko.

The so-called "assistance points" are the shrines in Kyoto City that the ghost of Jianzi's father mentioned, which even evil spirits dare not approach.

NPCs are, of course, the spirits that roam around in that area.

Speaking of which.

The gods in Sakura Province are somewhat different from the gods in Kyushu in Yozora's previous life's memories.

If you want to get the help of the gods, you have to pay a price.

Just like Yotsuya Miko in the original plot, in order to get the help of the twins, she signed a contract to give up everything she had.

Think about it carefully.

Isn't this just an evil spirit that has learned how to extort money?

Anyway, based on his experience during this period, Yozora doesn't think that the so-called gods are good things.

If the gods were really so kind and had good intentions towards humans, would we still need to work ourselves to death every day to eradicate the evil spirits and 'doors' in Kyoto?

That is, ordinary people don't know the existence of evil spirits and ghosts.

Otherwise, the offerings in the shrine should be placed at the door of the classroom of Class A of the first year of Sobu High School, and a photo of myself should be placed on it...

No, this scene seems a bit strange.

"But now it seems that this is the most direct way to break the game. According to the game settings, this should be considered an early boss battle."

Futaba Rio paused and looked up at Yozora.

"How is it, is the assistance I provide valuable to you?"

"Very valuable."

Yozora replied with a smile and handed the key to the activity room to the other party.

"Please give me more guidance in the future."

"Well, I'll be leaving first then."

Futaba Rio responded indifferently, then turned and left.

To be honest, after carefully thinking about the information in the notebook, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken about the idea that Yozora was a severe case of chuunibyou.

To say that this is a fantasy setting made up by one person's mind, the logic is a bit too self-consistent.

The point is, Futaba Rio once studied some psychological phenomena of adolescent boys and girls, which was also to analyze her own heart.

This includes the widely known and highly prevalent Chuunibyou.

The second-year syndrome is a kind of self-consolation that is imagined in order to escape the difficulties of reality.

So here comes the question.

Since it is an escape from the real predicament, who would imagine such a world?

After reading the entire contents of the notebook, Rio Futaba could only use one word to describe the reality depicted in it.

asphyxia.

Endless, "enemies" that can never be eliminated.

A "supply point" that grows wildly like weeds, making the world increasingly dangerous.

Even the "assistance points" that can improve the "protagonist" are hiding unknown evil.

Who could imagine such a world?

Do you think your real life is too satisfactory?

Of course, it is impossible for Rio Futaba to think that the contents of the notebook are true.

She had only one idea.

The yozora is sick.

Moreover, there is a serious illness.

After school that day.

Under the leadership of Shizuka Hiratsuka, Class A of the first year selected class committee members for various positions.

As expected.

Neither Yozora nor Yotsuya Miko were nominated.

"It's a bit cold."

Standing on the rooftop of the school, feeling the cool breeze of early spring, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but wrap her collar.

Yozora was gazing into the distance, a look of emotion in his eyes.

"I have an old friend who has passed away. He had a split operation here. It really makes me miss him."

Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment. She really couldn't tell whether what Yozora meant by "acting separately" was what a normal person would mean, or what it meant literally.

"Um...did your old friend...become an evil spirit?"

"No, he went to the next-door studio to be the Headless Horseman."

Yotsuya Miko (speechless): "…"

Before Yozora could express any more strange thoughts about this, she quickly spoke first.

"What are your plans for today?"

"Today's arrangement is very simple, that is..."

Just when Yozora was halfway through his words, the door to the rooftop was suddenly pushed open.

A girl wearing the Sobu High School uniform walked in slowly.

She was wearing a pair of black stockings that showed off her fair skin, her legs were extremely graceful, and on her feet she was wearing a pair of very delicate little leather shoes.

Her delicate face has a lazy charm and a mature aura that makes people afraid to approach her easily.

A small rabbit hairpin is pinned on her waist-length black hair, revealing the youthfulness of a high school girl.

Just standing there quietly is as beautiful and moving as a painting.

Seeing that both of them were staring at her, the girl lifted her hair by her ear and whispered something that frightened Yotsuya Miko so much that she trembled all over.

"You, can you see me?"
