Lost Narrative Poetry

"Leila, she is so pitiful. Didn't she become a ghost..."

Yuigahama Yui's eyes were slightly red. Girls of this age are sentimental and cannot bear to hear such tragic things.

Although this story is actually nothing compared to many more tragic and intuitive things, in many cases, it is often this kind of calm thing with a hint of unspeakable sadness that can penetrate people's hearts.

It seems like an ordinary story, but upon closer inspection, it is filled with unspeakable sadness.

"I don't know about this. After all, a long, long time has passed..."

Xia Ran shook his head and did not give any conclusion. This was the information he got from the memory of Yakumo Purple. It was indeed a long time ago, but Layla should become a ghost after her death.

It can be said that this is inevitable. As long as everyone's soul is not completely dispersed after death, they will become ghosts, unless that person has no soul at all.

It's just that ghosts are also controlled by the laws and rules of the afterlife. Very few of them can continue to stay in the human world. This is an illegal act in the first place and will be caught by the God of Death... In addition, so much time has passed, and Leila must also be able to do so. He must have been reincarnated long ago.

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything, but it seemed that she was actually quite uneasy inside.

What Yuigahama Yui saw was still the simplest story on the surface. The four people in the past had passed away, and only the spirits of the three sisters remained. It would never be possible to form the four people again.

As for the deeper and more intriguing thing, she did not expect that the four people in the past had really passed away long ago. Not only did Layla not stay, but none of the four people could stay, not even the third Sao Ling. The sisters are actually not the original three people.

They themselves are just creations created by Leila. At first they were just phantoms and auditory hallucinations, and eventually they slowly turned into real spirits, but they themselves were not the ghosts of Leila's sisters.

As for Yukinoshita Yukino, she can hear more things.

The most intuitive reflection of the difference between humans and non-humans is not in other places, but in life span. Because she was wary of certain things, she had specifically asked Xia Ran to find out. Naturally, she had also heard about Yakumo Murasaki and Saigyouji Yuyuko.

The fact that this friendship has lasted for at least 1,000 years proves that as long as the compatibility is good enough, the top big monsters and humans can also become the best friends. However, some things cannot be changed.

Moreover, Saigyouji Yuyuko's suicide was a rare thing in Yakumo Murasaki's life that made her always upset.

But perhaps it is a blessing and a misfortune. Although Hua Xu's undead completely forgot everything that happened in his life and could not become a Buddha or be reincarnated, he became a seamless undead and was able to stay in the world forever.

Just because her time has stopped forever and she has become an immortal species in disguise, the friendship between her and Yakumo Murasaki can be maintained forever.

Although she had forgotten everything about her life, she didn't even know when she met Yakumo Murasaki and became good friends.

It's like she didn't even know that the dead body under the Yokai Sakura "saigyouyou" was actually her own. Not long ago, she was eager to unlock the seal of the Yokai Sakura tree, let its cherry blossoms bloom, and resurrect the dead body under the tree.

"Does that mean the one with the longer life will inevitably watch the one with the shorter life leave first?"

The girl with long black hair lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly under her smooth bangs. It seemed that a shadow appeared on her face.

"Eh? Is that so?" Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment and looked at her friend. After realizing that she heard something, she realized that it seemed like this.

So, is this still a dark little story?

"It's not inevitable. In fact, there is always a solution..." Xia Ran said with a smile, with an optimistic and cheerful expression.

"..."

"..."

However, the atmosphere did not seem to be restored so easily, and few people present did not say much.

"Okay, don't think about it so much. Leila's and the others' stories are already stories of the past..." Xia Ran changed the subject lightly, "By the way, what do you think of the recent Hakoniwa game? Are you interested?"

"How could you not be interested in this..."

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes lit up, and he spoke quickly, following his topic to divert the girls' attention.

"This game has gone crazy lately, okay? It's being said on TV, it's being said on the Internet, even Obasan next door to my house knows about it. Do you dare to imagine? My mother is being talked about this kind of thing every day, who is it?" Would you be interested?"

"Do you mean you have more ideas than Penguin?" Xia Ranruo nodded pointedly and asked in confirmation.

"Of course, it is, but it is really too expensive. It is simply not something that ordinary families like us can afford, and it is said that the quota is quite tight... Wait, did you just say that? Did you call me by the wrong name so rudely?"

Student Bi Penguin sighed and nodded, then frowned again, feeling that something was not quite right.

"There is no such thing, you are more worried than Penguin classmate." Xia Ran said perfunctorily without sincerity, and pointed out a clear way to the other party, "In fact, you can consider the internal purchase method, and there is a considerable degree of discount. It’s coming.”

“Internal purchase?”

The boy was stunned for a moment, and he keenly grasped the key point, and suddenly he no longer cared about the rude name.

"Yes, Yukinoshita's sister is now fully responsible for the affairs of Dream Summer Township Company. Isn't it very simple if you want to book some places directly? Of course it is impossible to directly book the deal, but if you just want to satisfy your family The quota is still very simple..."

Xia Ran nodded and said seriously.

Relationships and favors are everywhere. Modern society is a network of favors. This is normal. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He himself had made all arrangements for the people he had connections with from the very beginning.

Giving the green light and taking the back door...isn't this kind of thing a matter of course?

After all, people all have close and distant relationships, so how can we expect everyone to handle everything impartially and treat everyone equally and fairly? This is the most unrealistic.

Naturally, they will choose to take care of the friends they know and prefer people they are familiar with. This is indeed a normal thing. If someone feels that they are not related to others, but the other person still has to make an equal choice between the other person's relatives and friends and themselves...

After all, this idea is actually the most emotionally charged, right? Because people are self-interested, when you accuse others of being selfish, isn't it a reflection of your own selfishness? After all, the essence is to hope that others will not lean toward relatives and friends, but toward yourself.

It is unfair to lean towards others!

Tend to yourself and be fair!

Moreover, this is not an act of seeking power for personal gain in the first place, and it is far from being of this nature, because Dream Xiaxiang Company has never been positioned as a public welfare or government agency in the outside world, and it has not even been listed at all.

There is no one to be responsible for, no explanation to the public, and the governments of various countries have no way to interfere, so how can there be any abuse of power for personal gain? Could it be that you have no right to dispose of your own things? That would be really funny...

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in shock. He really didn't know that the company that had become a global news hot spot recently and was basically determined to become a new world-class giant was actually the other party's sister. of.

"That's right, and Ms. Yangno will come over later, but it may not be until night. You can talk to her. I remember that the quota for the next batch should be 300,000, which is about half It will be released in a month..."

Xia Ran thought for a moment and nodded firmly.

Hikigaya Hachiman's expression was a little complicated. He had already said this. He was not really stupid. He could more or less guess a lot of things. He could only smile reluctantly:

"Wait a minute, I want to make sure, what are the internal discounts like? Is it the 2-yuan Lamborghini coupon that can be used on the second car?"

He was a little entangled, because no matter how you look at it, this is indeed a good thing, but this thing is really too expensive, and it will cost you money every month to breathe, so what will happen to your family? Maybe affordable?

You may want to refuse, but you can't say it outright, because others can't grab the spot, but now you have the opportunity to help your family, help your parents or sister get such an opportunity...

Speeding up the thinking means having more time. Whether it is studying, working or anything else, Hikigaya Hachiman has no way to decisively refuse this opportunity. But if he just accepted it as a matter of course, he felt that he couldn't do it.

"How can it be a 2 yuan coupon? It must be at least 5 yuan..."

Xia Ran said with a smile, and also saw the other party's confusion.

"If it doesn't work out, just work part-time to pay off the debt. Based on your family size, Hikigaya-san, the total debt of four deluxe editions is not too much..."

"That's already a debt of 150 million yen. Isn't that too much?" Hikigaya Hachiman's lips were trembling. After calculating the total of the four deluxe editions, he felt bad. "How can you say such words so easily!"

"To be optimistic, if you don't eat or drink until you are forty, you can pay off your debts..." Xia Ran blinked, "Of course, if you happen to be attracted by the eldest lady of any family, go and If you become her butler, it's a different story."

"I'm not a humanoid Gundam, and my last name is Ayazaki..."

"Anyway, listen to my advice and seize the opportunity first before talking..." Xia Ran patted his shoulder earnestly, "Although that is a game, it is not a joke..."

Hearing this line, Hikigaya Hachiman's face turned green: "...So you plan to make the game a death game, forcing players to aim for a complete victory, and if they are men, go to the 100th floor?"
