This play lasts only one night.

By the time An Yilun reacted, it was already six o'clock the next morning.

As the chirping of sparrows came from the window, the room became slightly brighter.

An Yilun was also sitting at the computer desk, his eyes bloodshot, but he was staring at the screen.

The monitor on the table glowed faintly, and the screen showed a scene from the game "ad".

[Tomoya: Tomoyo, let’s break up. My feelings for you are not love. 】

[Tomoyo: I understand...Thank you for dating a girl like me. No matter what happens in the future, this is my most precious memory...Take care, Tomoya.]

"Butterflies." An Yilun also sniffed, held his head with both hands, and kept shaking his right leg up and down.

"…………how so?"

He muttered to himself, becoming extremely anxious.

It was obvious that one moment he was happily dating Tomoyo, and the next moment he was ruthlessly broken up by the protagonist.

How can such a thing happen, you bastard——!?

Didn’t I say it was a sweet love?

Why did the plot suddenly turn into a stomachache!?!?

"Damn it." An Yilun scratched his hair frantically, "This shouldn't be like this! Kato~~~~!"

To this day, he can't forget the look of loss of luster in Tomoyo's eyes, and the line that mourning is greater than death.

[Tomoyo: It’s so sad... but I can’t cry. It’s incredible...]

Under the background of melancholy music, the sadness in his heart seemed to be amplified, and he had a strong resonance with the characters in the game.

He pressed his chest and felt that the left side of his chest was blocked. He felt like he was not vomiting but didn't know where to start.

It feels like...

"Like NTR?"

"That's right, it's like N... you're the ghost!? Yin Zhi, you bastard! Don't run behind others and speculate without saying a word!"

"Haha~" Hashima Yinzhi raised the corners of his lips frivolously, "Whose expression is Toruya-san? You look like someone who suffered after being NTRed?"

"Fart!" An Yilun also yelled: "I'm just complaining about the plot of the game! Which of your eyes saw me being NTRed?"

"Huh huh~" Hashima Yin Zhiruo looked at his partner thoughtfully and smiled without saying a word.

An Yilun also didn't know that when he went to buy drinks outside the Xia I venue yesterday, Hashishima Yinzhi was actually following behind him.

Originally, Hashima Yinzhi just wanted to encourage his partner, but he accidentally bumped into the scene where An Yilunya and Erili met.

According to some signs he observed, An Yilun also had an unusual attitude towards Ying Lili, and he should have a little fondness for her.

As for why he himself refuses to admit it, he, an outsider, is not sure.

That was either due to inferiority complex or some other reason, but it is meaningless to say this now.

'After all, that Kashiwagi Eri already has his heart set on Toruya-san.' Hashima Yinzhi thought irrelevantly.

If Hashima heard what her brother was saying, she would have called him a scumbag in anger, but it was a pity that she had no idea.

Yirun Aki also played a one-night game with Yunori Hashishima yesterday, and Dekai Namishima and Michiru Hyōdo also watched a game.

not only that.

They also cried loudly because of the touching plot in the game and produced a large number of tissues in the room, and then ran to take a shower exhausted.

"Well, let's not talk about anything else. Can you help me clean up, Toruya-san?"

Hashima Yinzhi smiled and joked: "Not to mention the things my sister made a mess, you can't even ask me to clean up the paper your cousin blew her nose on, right?"

"You guy, don't talk so badly about Michiru." An Yilun also glared at him angrily, stood up and helped clean up the mess together.

Hashima Yinzhi asked: "Then what? Toriya-san, where did your game end?"

"For the sake of Tomoyo's future, the hero chose to sacrifice himself and break up with her."

"Oh? Does this character still have that kind of plot? Could it be that you accidentally ended up on the BE branch?"

"Haha? How is that possible! Are you looking down on me, a Galgame expert? I will definitely go True End!"

"Hey~~Is that why you are so depressed?"

"You want to take care of it? I'm just more involved."

"Haha, that's what I said, but that's your choice to go down, right? It's ugly to lose your temper here."

"It's so noisy. I'm not happy with anyone calling you!"

An Yilun couldn't help but clenched his fists, and couldn't help but want to yell at Kato the dog thief for arranging such a plot to ruin his mood early in the morning.

"So." Hashima Yinzhi asked casually: "About this work, Toruya-kun, what do you think? Do you think it is interesting?"

"this--"

An Yilun couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He crossed his hands and hugged his chest, and seriously thought about the wonderful features of this work.

In this game with daily themes as its main theme, where is the magic that drives him to play it endlessly?

Is it art? Yes!

Is it a script? Yes!

Is it music? Yes!

Is it a performance? Yes!

But what about other than these?

There is nothing exciting and exciting in "ad". The plot design focuses on being natural and plain, but it is just very gripping——!

Even though An Yilun had already read the complete script of "Academy Chapter", he still felt a completely different and novel experience when he actually played it, and he shed tears several times.

This is not an excuse on his part!

You know, even Michiru, who has never been interested in Galgame, burst into tears when watching him play games. It was an unprecedented first time!

"Strange...where is the place that can impress both otakus and ordinary people?"

An Yilun also racked his brains to think, and suddenly an idea flashed and he blurted out: "Ah! Sure enough, it's because of the character!

"

"Character...?" Hashima Yinzhi tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes! It's the character!" An Yilun also slapped his thigh hard, his tone was extremely excited.

"I felt this way when I was playing. Every character in this work has a soul! People care about their stories unconsciously, so they get invested in it!"

"I see……"

After thinking about it for a while, Hashima Yinzhi felt that this was indeed the case, "Indeed, the characters in the game are very deep and have a feeling of being close to reality."

"Right, right?" An Yilun also quickly moved forward and continued talking.

"Senior Shiyu is really good at describing characters. By the time the audience reacts, they have been unknowingly manipulated by her and trapped in the story~

The same goes for Ying Lili’s original painting! The combination of the two of them is perfect, it’s so exciting!”

"Is this okay, Toruya-kun?"

A strange look flashed in Hashima Yinzhi's eyes, and he asked: "Aren't you looking for Kato-kun's shortcomings? Is it really okay to give such a high evaluation?"

"Well--?"

An Yilun was also stunned and gradually came back to his senses.

yes!

He came here with the idea of ​​finding fault in the first place!

Why did you start praising me without realizing it?

He was suddenly startled when he thought of this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

An Yilun also shook his head vigorously and coughed heavily.

"Ahem, um, I was just praising Shiyu-senpai and Eiri-san, it has nothing to do with Kato..."

"Oh~? Is this what Toruya-kun thinks so?" Hashima Yinzhi chuckled, without revealing the insincerity of his words, "Let's get back to the topic. What do you think of this work?"

An Yilun also frowned and pretended to say: "...That's about it so far. To be more specific, I haven't finished playing yet so I can't answer, but -"

He glanced sideways at the computer screen with the game still on, and slowly said the second half of the sentence, "I always feel that their game process is longer than I thought..."

"Yes." Hashima Yinzhi sighed imperceptibly: "If every character in the game has this kind of length, the content of our work will be only one-tenth of others."

"Uh--!" An Yilun was also speechless.

"By the way, I also got to play the part where Furukawa Nagisa acted in a stage play. The performance and plot tension of this part are really impeccable. It is indeed a script written by Kasumi Shiko."

There was some emotion in Hashima Yinzhi's tone.
