The issue of whether he is irrelevant or not has not been discussed, but Xia Zhi still wants to ask: "Then are you going or not?"
If Tachibana Aya goes, then Natsuchi has to make some preparations first. If he doesn't go, he won't have to do those troublesome things.
"Go! It doesn't seem to be a big problem even if you go alone to play. And I heard some interesting things yesterday, and there seemed to be some interesting activities. The most important thing is, I got this!"
Tachibana Aya took out a piece of paper that had been folded two or three times from her pocket. Xia Zhi was somewhat impressed by this thing.
"Did you get it too? The card for the stamp collection event."
"Hmm? Do you have it too?"
"I got it before, but I gave it to the store manager because I didn't have time to get it."
"I think it's quite interesting. If you have a chance, I'll collect it all." Tachibana Aya looked at the card in her hand carefully. There were many prizes to choose from: "I am very interested in the board game made by the board game club.
I’m quite interested in the suit.”
"Is there still such a thing?"
Xia Zhi didn't look at it carefully, but Tachibana Aya must be more interested in these things. After all, she didn't have anything to do here. Although Xia Zhi didn't quite understand why she was so bored that she still refused to go back.
Enjoy yourself in your own high-end apartment.
"I feel like I can take it over and play it. But I don't seem to have enough time." Tachibana Aya calculated on her fingers: "And maybe for the money, I can buy two sets of fairly good quality in a board game store.
Board games seem to be a bit of a loss."
"Things like school festival prizes can only be considered incidental, right? The main thing is to have fun yourself."
"What you said makes sense, but recently my level of self-entertainment has dropped a bit. And the culprit is..." Tachibana Aya glanced at Xia Zhi without any trace, and naively thought that Xia Zhi didn't see it.
"What does it have to do with me that you can't entertain yourself anymore?"
"Yes. Look, the mobile games I usually use to kill time have been deleted by you."
"No, you deleted it yourself. And it's just a gold-based mobile game. There's no way to get real speed." Xia Zhi refused to admit it.
"...You forced me to delete it. I haven't played mobile games for more than four months and I feel bored every day."
"As I said, you can't get real happiness by playing mobile games for money."
"But I don't even have false happiness anymore." Tachibana Aya spread her hands.
"...Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
After all, people who make games also need to work hard. There are very few people in the world who use love to generate electricity. It is also very unrealistic to rely entirely on love to support the operation of an excellent game.
"I don't want to blame you, because after deleting the mobile game, I suddenly had a lot of spare money. Now my life seems to be much more comfortable. When I want to buy a figure, I don't have to hesitate about which one to buy. I can have them all.
.”
"...I think too much. Your essence has not changed from the beginning."
Tachibana Aya is not a person who changes easily, Natsuki confirmed this once again.
"I think it would be better for you to go over to our school's school festival to play. After all, the board game store will not disappear on its own. If you want to buy something, you can go there at any time. Besides, it's okay for me to take a short rest."
"But don't you want to inject soul into the coffee shop? I can play by myself, I'm not a child." Tachibana Aya spread her hands.
"If there are no raw materials, can you still use magic to conjure a cup of coffee out of thin air?"
Although if possible, Xia Zhi actually doesn't really want to use the method given to him by Qingfeng Tendo and the others, but in a sense, they are right. They have already come here to study abroad, if not to experience it personally.
It may leave regrets. Moreover, even if it is a situation that both parties can understand, Xia Zhi still tries his best to achieve what has been agreed upon, even if it conflicts slightly with work.
Keeping things agreed upon is a very important and sacred thing.
"You always tell me to work hard, but you have so many ways to be lazy. You... you really say one thing and do another."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just this time. Are you going or not? If not, I will continue to work. I am too lazy to go to events with so many people."
"Go! There are so many people here! There will be fireworks displays, temple fairs and so on. Is it possible that you still want to stay at home and not go out to play at that time?"
Xia Zhi took a sip of hot water and nodded.
"Don't worry, I will never let you succeed." Tachibana Aya also nodded seriously.
Even if you oppose someone's plan, don't expose the plan so easily, okay?
"However, I still didn't expect that one day you would take the initiative to invite me to play. I really didn't expect it."
"It's just because we agreed before."
"How about you make an agreement with me now to get your marriage certificate when you go to college?"
"You're dreaming." Xia Zhi thought about it again and felt that his words were a bit too much.
"Don't even dream about it."
"Is there anything more sad about rejection that I specially emphasized?" From her face, Xia Zhi couldn't see the frustrated look. As expected, she didn't take it seriously. That's fine.
"I have my own plans for this matter, so I won't talk about it for now. However, even if I go there at three o'clock and the school festival is over, it will only be two hours, which is not enough at all." Tachibana Aya said again.
His eyes turned to the paper card in his hand.
"There is no need to go shopping all... and the number of prizes is limited. Even if we can finish shopping, it is estimated that all the prizes will have been taken away today. Our school also has many students who do not need to participate in the operation of the project."
And there is considerable enthusiasm for participating in activities, such as the classmate who gave me a hot idea, and the two juniors who just made friends and ignored the people behind the scenes. The world is really cruel and ruthless.
And to be honest, Natsuki felt that if he and Tachibana Aya went through all the activities, it would be really tiring.
"If you don't know what you want to do, then just set a goal for yourself. Isn't there a saying over there that you should set a small goal first? I think it's pretty good."
"The premise is that it is really just a small goal..."
Set a small goal for yourself and earn 100 million from him first. If possible, Xia Zhi hopes that those who have achieved this small goal can help Xia Zhi make one by the way.
"Anyway, if you want to have fun, it's better to participate in all the activities, right?"
Xia Zhi couldn't refute. It was like going to an amusement park. There were tons of rides to choose from. However, after you paid the ticket and went back on the Ferris wheel, that would be too happy.
"In that case, I'll go there as soon as possible tomorrow."
Xia Zhi realized something: "If you dare to appear in my sight before three-thirty, you will be dead."
"...I wouldn't pretend to be sick and leave school early! Who do you think I am!"
"Then don't explain your plan in such detail."
Xia Zhi felt desperate for her character.
"In this case, there will be even less time." Tachibana thought carefully: "If we exclude a few less interesting projects... then let's do it."
Tachibana Aya put the paper card on the kotatsu table, pointed to the activities inside and said: "Leave the haunted house, the magic show, and the pitching and pot throwing with us, and I will leave the rest to you!"
"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right?"
Not to mention how much money it will cost, time alone is completely insufficient. The time Xia Zhi needs is probably two hours from 3:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon. If there is too much, it will be no different from absenteeism. No matter
Whether it was a missed appointment or absence from work, Xia Zhi tried his best to avoid such a thing from happening.
"I've already been playing for two hours, what does it matter if it's more? People should know how to enjoy themselves."
"I'm different from you. I don't have the mentality or ability to enjoy myself completely."
It's mainly about mentality, yes, it's mainly about mentality.
"In this case, life will lose a lot of fun."
"I think you have too much fun in life. Please go work seriously and feel the responsibilities of life."
"No." Tachibana Aya flatly refused. However, this was the answer that Xia Zhi had already expected, so he did not show any doubts or emotions at all.
"I think I am already one of those successful people who can live happily without working."
"In fact, there are no successful people in the world who don't have to work."
One of the definitions of successful people is that they need to have their own career. People who don’t even have a career cannot be said to be successful. People who can live a carefree life without a career are generally called lucky people. Obviously,
Natsuki is not a lucky person, nor is she a successful person. Tachibana Aya can barely be considered a successful person because of the novel she wrote, but when she said she didn't have to work, that was just her talking nonsense.
She may have forgotten the purpose of talking to her in the first place. She has completely become a slave to a happy life.
"In that case, the board game is fine. But if you happen to go over and watch it, just stamp it. You might be able to get a prize. I'll leave this with you first." She said.
The jam was pushed to Xia Zhi.
"I think the possibility is pitiful." But Xia Zhi still took the cardboard over.
If you are not too busy, you can really go shopping in the school festival. Anyway, it is up to you to decide whether to play or not.
"It would be great to have it. Don't give up hope. As long as we don't give up, the future will be full of hope."
These words sounded a bit familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere before. Natsuki looked at Tachibana Aya, and she did not disappoint herself: "With hope, you can continue to move forward; with hope, you can muster up courage.
"With heart..."
"That's enough. It's hard for you to memorize the lines of the script so accurately, but I still have to say that I have also played Danganronpa."
"...As far as Chinese high school students are concerned, your coverage is a bit too broad."
She finally stopped memorizing Makoto Naegi's lines and complained to Natsuki himself.
"You seem to know Chinese high school students very well. But to this extent, I just happen to know. After all, there are very few entertainment activities, so I can only pass the time by playing games."
But it's different now. Xia Zhi has moved away from the pace of life where studying is all about studying. Even monotonous working hours are much more interesting than pure studying, and he no longer feels too bored.
"Sure enough, you should learn from me. Do you want me to teach you how to become a master of enjoying life?"
"unnecessary."
"It's okay for me to take you to enjoy life myself."
"It's still not necessary."
It is impossible to try to make the successors of staunch communism bow to the evil capitalism. Xia Zhi will not rebel.
"Forget it, we still have a lot of time, let's not rush this." After saying what Xia Zhi couldn't ignore, Tachibana Aya changed the subject: "But if this happens, our date will be postponed.
ah."
???
This sentence was obviously more difficult for Xia Zhi to ignore.
"What nonsense are you talking about? So tomorrow doesn't count?"
This is completely bad news. If Tachibana Aya doesn't play with her tomorrow, it means that she will definitely be arranged by Tachibana Aya again in the future. This is too scary.
"We're just going to play together tomorrow? That's not a date."
"So, what you said about going out and dating are not the same thing?"
Xia Zhi felt that he had been tricked.
"Xia Zhi, the so-called date is when a man and a woman go out to play together. This can be called a date. Do you think I went to your school festival and met you and played together by the way? This process can be regarded as a date.
Going on a date?”
According to Tachibana Aya, this obviously... doesn't count. But Xia Zhi was even more surprised by the fact that he was tricked by Tachibana Aya, and veins popped up on his forehead.
"Then, I think we don't need to go there tomorrow, because it's not a 'date', so it can only be regarded as an insignificant matter."
"But we must abide by what we have agreed upon. Isn't this what you have been telling me?"
Being tricked thoroughly, Xia Zhi wanted to regret it.
Whether to be a person who keeps his word or to be a leisurely and happy person, Xia Zhi was thinking about it and then came to a conclusion.
"You can figure out what to do for dinner tomorrow."
???
"How could this be possible!" Tachibana Aya wailed.
"Because I have to work again tomorrow and have to play at the school festival. I'm tired. I'll just have a group dinner tomorrow night."
"No! You can't do this!"
She was protesting, and Xia Zhi began to feel happy.
