Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

……

[Tachibana Yu] has resurrected, but not in the way that Sakata Akatsuki remembered.

Now she has become unusually young and cute, but she looks like another stranger.

The girl Yu smiled, picked up the crutches from the ground, helped Sakata Akatsuki sit on the wheelchair, and then went to the cabinet to find the antihypertensive medicine, poured warm water, and handed it to Sakata Akatsuki.

At this moment, looking at the girl in front of him, Sakata Akatsuki's heart suddenly settled down.

It is indeed his Yu who has returned.

To be precise, it is the body that carries Yu's soul.

Yu said that he didn't know what happened. He had fallen into a long sleep in darkness, but suddenly woke up.

The place where he lives is very strange, but also very warm.

In the mirror, it looks like a young strange girl.

It should be that the soul is attached to this girl.

However, when Yu thought of Sakata Akatsuki who was alone, he immediately rushed over with this body.

"This body belongs to someone else." Tachibana Yu laughed.

The young girl is very cute, with a small round face and big eyes like two shining black gems, always full of curiosity and agility.

When she stood up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing two small canine teeth, adding a bit of playfulness and kindness.

"Hey? Is it so outrageous?"

Sakata Xiao thought that his wife would come back as a zombie.

"That's too scary, right?"

Tachibana Yu raised her hand and hit him coquettishly, "Do you want to live with zombies?"

"Yes, as long as it's rain, anything is fine."

Sakata Xiao raised his head and thought seriously, "Maybe becoming a zombie is the best choice."

"Well... that's right, I can live forever, the only disadvantage is that I might be hunted by people, right?"

The two smiled at each other.

Sakata Akira's eyes fell on Tachibana Yu's new body, "What about this girl?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry for borrowing someone else's body." Tachibana Yu frowned slightly, "How pitiful this child is, I've taken over her body."

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness appeared in the eyes of the two people.

Yu's eyes fell on her chest, and she seemed a little uncomfortable. In terms of figure, the girl was much bigger than when she was young.

"Want to touch it?"

Tachibana Yu asked.

Before Sakata Akira spoke, Tachibana Yu covered her chest and stepped back,

"Pervert!"

"Ah, he didn't say anything yet!"

...

Hahahaha...Yamada Masaharu almost laughed his head off when he got here.

The appearance of Yu really made the whole game atmosphere relaxed and lively all of a sudden.

So magical.

...

After tying Sakata Akira's shoelaces, Tachibana Yu pushed him out the door. It was drizzling outside.

It was like the sky was crying.

However, for Sakata Xiao at this time, the rain has become gentle and beautiful again.

The sound of rain around is like the intimate whisper of rain, which makes people want to fall asleep.

"I like rain so much!!!" the girl shouted loudly.

Sakata Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing the youthful appearance of rain at this time, his eyes were slightly wet and he whispered, "Me too."

...

The next day.

When Sakata Xiao woke up in the morning, Yu was not around, but there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it was a young lady.

She tied the familiar braids of Yu.

"Hi, senior, we meet again. My name is Tachibana Yu. Please give me more advice." The young woman folded her hands in front of her chest and bowed to Sakata Xiao.

Ah hey!

It's completely different from the rain yesterday, okay?

However, Sakata Xiao quickly accepted this setting:

The new Mrs. Tachibana behaved exactly like the rain in his memory.

She still handed him medicine, brought water, and tied his shoelaces with ease.

In other words, Sakata Xiao's wish to be with Yu forever was realized in a magical but ridiculous way:

Yu's soul attaches to a new body every day. Yesterday it was a high school girl, and today it is a married young woman.

Sakata Xiao has no idea who it will be tomorrow.

Yu herself has no idea.

Although a little melancholy, Sakata Xiao breathed a sigh of relief silently.

At least the girl who was occupied by Yu yesterday can return to her normal life.

If one's wish can only be realized by depriving another person of his life, it would be too cruel.

Yu would definitely not be willing, right?

Looking up at the young woman Yu, Sakata Xiao found that she also had the same relieved expression on her face.

It didn't rain today, and it was sunny outside.

But the young woman Yu suggested that they could go out for a walk while the weather was good.

The two went out, and the sunshine outside shone warmly on Sakata Xiao.

The neighbor's wife was about to go out, and when she saw Sakata, she greeted him warmly, "Good morning, Mr. Sakata."

The neighbor's wife looked at the young woman Yu for a while and smiled, "Is this your granddaughter?"

"I'm his wife." Tachibana Yu laughed.

"Nervous..." The neighbor was so scared that she quickly hid back and closed the door.

...

On the third day, it was the supermarket clerk Yu.

When she came, the clerk Yu hadn't even had time to change her work clothes.

The clerk Yu wore a red baseball cap and a high ponytail, looking youthful and energetic.

When Shoji Yamada got to this point, he suddenly discovered something amazing.

Oh my god.

This setting is quite amazing.

No wonder, I was wondering why there was only one heroine in the galgame.

After all this time, it turns out that although there is only one heroine, Tachibana Yu, she can change her body!

The only question is:

Is this a single heroine or multiple heroines?

If it is a single heroine, the male protagonist can change a new wife every day.

If it is multiple heroines, they are the same soul.

And think about it carefully,

70-year-old Sakata Akatsuki can't seem to do anything.

"Good morning, Mr. Sakata." The neighbor's wife greeted, carefully poked out her round head, and her eyes fell on the clerk Yu.

After confirming that it was not the young woman Yu from yesterday, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sakata, if you have any difficulties, please tell me. I will try my best to help.

By the way, this is..."

The clerk Yu tilted her head and showed a sweet and lively smile, "Hello, ma'am, I am Mr. Sakata's wife."

Ah, this...!

The neighbor's wife was almost scared to death, and ran back home with a bang and closed the door.

It's terrible.

It's terrible...long tone.

One wife a day, what is Mr. Sakata doing?

The neighbor's wife's little son came over and pulled her sleeve, "Hey, mom, when I grow up, can I have many wives like grandpa?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

...

Yamada Masaharu laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He just felt that the script of Guyuan Laothie was really powerful in mobilizing the emotions of the players.

It's almost possible to make you cry when you want to cry, and laugh when you want to laugh.

Ah!

What do you think we are, damn Guyuan Laothie!

It's so sad that your lover leaves!

…

For the next 30 days, Tachibana Rain will possess another stranger's body every day.

Come in the morning and leave in the evening.

In other words, although there is only one Tachibana Rain, Yamada Shoji seems to have experienced 30 different heroines in this game.

…

On the 30th day, it was Teacher Rain.

Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he looks particularly intellectual.

Although Teacher Rain has a stern expression, his words and actions are very gentle, and with that dress, people have a wonderful illusion.

"Morning, Mr. Sakata."

The neighbor's wife can already greet Mr. Sakata freely.

Before Teacher Rain speaks, the neighbor's wife narrows her eyes and shows a friendly smile, "Morning, Mrs. Sakata."

Teacher Rain was stunned for a second, then nodded slightly, acknowledging Mrs. Sakata's identity, "Morning, Mrs. Asano."

Okay.

Mrs. Asano said, I'm used to it now.

Even if Mr. Sakata brings an alien home, my heart is already calm.

…

A day passed quickly.

Since the mermaid's tears came into play, every day has been fresh and full of expectations.

But at the same time, I am reluctant to leave.

I finally got used to the new appearance of Yu, and I have to say goodbye to myself the next day.

At night, it seems that I have a premonition that Teacher Yu will leave. I don't know what Tachibana Yu will look like tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the night, Sakata Xiao and Teacher Yu strolled on the long embankment.

Looking at the flowing river, tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

He still remembers the scene when Yu jumped into the river for the first time.

"Yu, do you remember the scene when you took off your clothes and jumped into the river? I was completely scared at the time."

"Then let's do it again?" Teacher Yu suggested gently.

"Huh?" Sakata Xiao trembled all over, and he hadn't figured out the meaning of this sentence.

"You want to see my body, right?" Yu frowned and smiled, "No, you want to see someone else's body. Pervert!"

Because it was someone else's body, Sakata Xiao didn't dare to do anything to Tachibana Yu.

As long as Yu can accompany, it's enough.

"Forget about other people's bodies, but let me lend you my hand." Teacher Yu said lovingly.

The light stretched the shadows of the two people to the ground, and Teacher Yu's shadow stretched out his hand to Sakata Xiao.

The dark shadow raised a small corner.

Sakata Xiao also stretched out his hand.

Even though the hands of the two people did not really touch each other, Sakata Xiao felt extremely sweet when he saw the overlapping part of the shadows on the ground.

The shadows held hands together, and Shadow Yu squatted down and leaned his head on the old man's shoulder.

Even though time has aged his face, the shadows can't tell their age, as if they are still the young Sakata Xiao and Tachibana Yu frozen there.

...

However, the old man's shadow tilted his head slightly and fell towards Shadow Yu.

The camera returned to reality from the shadow.

The street lamp was dim, illuminating the profile of Sakata Xiao.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

His head fell to the side, facing the direction of Teacher Yu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were tightly closed.

"Mr. Sakata." Teacher Yu called out softly, seeming to sense something was wrong.

"Mr. Sakata." She called out again.

In the silent night, the voice sounded flustered and confused.

"Mr. Sakata!!!"

…

The screen suddenly went black.

When it lights up again, the scene switches to the cemetery.

Next to Tachibana Rain's tombstone, there is a new grave.

The name [Sakata Akatsuki] is written on it.

Although he had a strong premonition last night, until now, Yamada Masaharu was convinced after seeing this scene——

The hero has passed away.

What about Tachibana Rain?

This was the first question that appeared in Yamada Masaharu's mind.

Wouldn't it be like Yu living alone, changing his body every day, but having no one to rely on?

Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt beyond measure.

The camera zoomed out, and there was a circle of people wearing black mourning clothes standing next to Akatsuki Sakata's grave.

Soon Yamada Shoji realized something was wrong.

Isn’t this guy wearing glasses the teacher Yu from yesterday?

There is also the long-haired young woman Yu, the store clerk Yu...

Why are they all gathered here?

It started to drizzle in the sky, and thick lines fell on everyone's shoulders.

After a long time, Teacher Yu said calmly,

"The weather is really nice today. It's a rainy day that Mr. and Mrs. Sakata like."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Mr. Sakata and Mrs. Sakata, I wish you happiness." The teacher said with tears in his eyes.

…

At the same time, Tachibana Rain's monologue sounded.

The camera keeps zooming out, then cuts to a high school library.

On the table, there is a thick book with the words "Tears of the Mermaid" written on it.

The pages of the book are gently opened, and on the title page is a message from the author.

[Legend has it that the tears of a mermaid can fulfill a person's wish, but will also bring about an unforgettable relationship.

So, this is a fairy tale about a mermaid that I wrote for you. 】

[The first story, the man in bed]

The pages of the book turned, and a picture of a man in bed appeared:

The quilt and the hedgehog girl were sitting on the tree stump, looking up at the starry sky, with the fireworks rising above them.

[The second story, the reverse person]

…

In Yamada Masaharu's mind, all the past, memories about pokeni, and all the works in the Tears of the Mermaid series emerged with this paragraph.

I don’t know why, but my eyes are already moist.

[The last story is also a story about myself]

[I like a senior, his name is Sakata Akatsuki, and I have liked him since high school.

Senior always has a calm look that sees through the world, as if he is separated from the world.

But I know that he has a passionate heart that loves life.

Kind and gentle, always thinking of others, this is my senior.

…

After graduation, I entered the company where my senior worked as I wished...

Later, after my confession, the senior agreed.

We have a happy life.

…

Time is passing, and now I don't have much time left.

The only thing I worry about is how my introverted and inferior senior, the one I love the most, will be able to survive after I leave.

My life is coming to an end, but the tears of the mermaid are not yet over.

Dear readers.

Thank you for helping me complete this story.

Let him, my favorite mermaid prince, get the happiness he wants.

Give him hope instead of me.

Thank you, warm strangers I have never met.

——Tachibana Rain]

…

What does this mean? !

There was a buzz in Yamada Masaharu's head.

In my mind, the images of all the heroines from the past 30 days emerged one by one.

Suddenly his whole body trembled and he understood:

What kind of possession is Tachibana Rain possessing here!

In the past 30 days, there were 30 different strangers who were independent. They read the story "Tears of the Mermaid" written by Tachibana Rain, and in the end they chose to play Tachibana Rain, giving Sakata Akira hope to live.

The kindness and warmth she received from Tachibana Rain was given back by taking care of Akira Sakata on her behalf.

This is a group of strangers respecting and satisfying the last wishes of a deceased author.

The greatest emotion in the world is the kindness released by strangers.

Like streams gathering together, a huge river rushes and roars in the chest.

Then rush out from the eyes.

Yamada Masaharu cried uncontrollably and his whole body trembled.

…

In the game, the screen cuts back to Akatsuki Sakata's graveyard again.

Teacher Yu walked to the tombstone with a warm smile, turned around, and opened an envelope.

"This is the eulogy that Mr. Sakata prepared himself. I will read it here for you."

[To kind-hearted people:

Thank you for your company and care during this time.

Yu and I have received your kindness, thank you.

I wish you happiness.

Beautiful people deserve a beautiful life.

It's ridiculous to say it. You all worked so hard to pretend to be the rain, even though you knew it was fake, and I didn't have the heart to expose it.

But, I also enjoy and am very grateful that I met you in the last days of my life.

Each one is a shining rain.

Where did you see it?

It's probably just a feeling. If it was real rain, I would definitely feel it.

Because, in this world, there is really something called [love].

Yu told me stories about mermaids in front of me.

She didn't mention the other legend, but I understood it:

The so-called legend of another mermaid refers to the story between me and her.

Thank you for listening to our story.

If there are really mermaids in this world, I hope she can be happy.

I hope the tears of mermaids can bring happiness to people.

Thank you.

My favorite, kind rain.

And you.

——Sakata Akatsuki]

END

……

The game is over here.

At the end, the ENDING is not a list of production staff, but a dance of Sakata Akatsuki and Tachibana Yu.

Two white-haired old men walked towards each other from the darkness.

In the sky, the snow turned into rain and fell.

As the camera turned, Sakata Akatsuki and Tachibana Yu became younger. The two smiled at each other, and Yu gently put her hand on Sakata Akatsuki's shoulder, while Sakata Akatsuki hugged her waist.

Wearing gorgeous clothes,

The last dance in the rain.

It was so beautiful.

…

Yamada Shoji was stunned.

It turned out that Sakata Akatsuki knew everything.

"Tears of Mermaid" was different from all the galgames he had played before.

No magical realism.

No bizarre settings.

No great joy or sorrow, ups and downs.

An ordinary but warm life,

A cute and kind stranger...

But that's it...

Yamada Shoji couldn't stop crying.

…
