Chapter 6. Everything seems to be going in the right direction

[The relationship between you and Ichiri Goto has deepened, and your status in her mind has become more important. 】

[And after chatting, you also understand that the nerves of the girl in front of you are as thin as hair, and they will break if they are stretched even slightly. She only treats the outside world with fear, caution, and a groveling attitude towards others. This is the only way she can protect herself. s method】

[And because she spent most of her time practicing guitar, Goto Ichiri’s academic performance was very poor. She never had friends, nor took the initiative to talk to others. She even had the idea of ​​dropping out of school many times. She was willing to be her You, as a friend, are the only bright spot in her school life, and you understand this girl on a deeper level. 】

[On the Internet, she is a YouTube blogger with 30,000 fans, and her guitar playing skills are superb, but in real life, she is a complete weakling. As long as you are willing to communicate with her, she will be very satisfied]

[During a casual chat, you heard her mention that she joined a rock band outside school, but she had no confidence in her performance. After joining the band, she might spend less time communicating with you. She had an idea. The idea of ​​giving up. 】

[Faced with Goto Ichiri confiding your troubles for the first time, you decided——]

[1. Since Yili thinks it is better to give up, then give up]

[2. Just a few perfunctory sentences]

[3. This may be a rare opportunity, encourage her to try]

[4. Free Simulation]

"Um..."

Looking at these options, Nanxiang fell into thinking.

The second item does not need to be considered at all, it is simply the option of death.

Then, the final choice should be between first and third.

He followed what Ichiri Goto said and persuaded her to give up.

Or should you encourage her to keep working hard and come on?

There is no doubt that following Goto Kazuri's own wishes and persuading her to give up will undoubtedly increase the other person's good impression of her. Similarly, if she has completely lost communication with the outside world, she will definitely rely more on and trust him, the only one who is willing. Someone who listens to her talk about her troubles.

but...

Is there really no problem in Goto Kazuri's world if he is the only one in the world?

Through the simulation, Nanxiang Shi could clearly feel how much Goto Ichiri longed to get rid of social fear.

She was troubled by it, sighed for it, and even huddled in the closet alone, hating her own cowardice with tears in her eyes.

Nanxiang chose the third option.

[You analyzed the current situation seriously and encouraged Ichiri Goto. You know that if you only communicate with yourself, it will only increase the girl's dependence on you. 】

[Communicating more with other people is like scattering seeds in Goto Ichiri's heart. You sincerely hope that these seeds will take root and sprout, and see her step out of the shadows and walk freely in the sunshine. 】

[With your encouragement, Goto Kazuri decided to engage in band activities, but every day, she will still seriously guide you to practice guitar. This is her agreement with you. No matter how busy she is, she will never forget it]

[You are still chatting with her in the music room. In front of the humorous and cheerful you, she who was originally timid and afraid of going to school is having a great time every day, and the smiles on her originally gloomy face are gradually increasing. 】

[School life used to be so unbearable for her, but now because of your presence, she can muster the courage to face everything in front of her bravely. 】

Memories begin to emerge.

"Senior Nanxiang, that... I played the wrong chord."

With a faint blush on his face, Goto Ichisato pointed out Nanxiang's mistake in a low voice.

"Ah...thank you, Goto-kun."

The boy who had his mistake pointed out did not feel any displeasure. A hearty smile appeared in Goto Ichiri's eyes, and he pressed his fair and slender fingers on the guitar strings again.

Goto Ichiri remained sitting quietly and did not speak.

Some timid eyes came out from behind the light pink bangs, like the sunshine outside the window, secretly falling on the young man's handsome face.

She dared not speak.

She just put a dull, timid gaze on the young man's face, and she had already exhausted all her strength.

Afternoon sunshine.

Just right.

Looking at you, she thought, maybe she too will one day return to the sun.

The memories fade away, and at the same time, options jump out.

[Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. 】

【You decide--】

[1. Ichiri Goto’s situation still makes you uneasy, please continue to pay attention to Ichiri Goto’s situation]

[2. Occasionally, you should also focus on other things, and temporarily take your eyes away from Goto Ichiri]

[3. It’s too boring to fall in love all the time. Let’s study instead. 】

[4. Personal simulation]

Four more options.

If it were placed in real life, perhaps Nanxiang would choose three.

After all, I have to enrich my spiritual world and satisfy my desire to learn occasionally.

But it is a simulation after all.

Moreover, Goto Ichiri’s social fear situation is indeed worrying.

Move your finger to the first option when you are in Nanxiang.

[Everything seems to be moving in a good direction. 】

[You continue to focus on Goto Ichiri's situation and spend every day happily with her. But the wind direction on campus has quietly changed without you knowing it. 】

[It seems that because you, a central figure on campus, often spend time alone with Ichiri Goto in the music room, rumors spread among the girls’ group who already have some admiration and love for you on campus]

[You don’t care about the rumors in the school. You focus all your attention on Goto Ichiri. The opinions of others have nothing to do with you. 】

[It wasn’t until one day that you noticed that the smile on Goto Ichiri’s face, who came to the music room every day, seemed to be getting less and less, that you vaguely realized that something was wrong. 】

[After a day of guitar practice, you, who was a little concerned about Goto Ichiri, quietly followed her to the alley outside the school. 】

[There you saw her for the first time, hugging her knees, with her fair and pretty face stained with tears. 】

When I was in Nanxiang, I immersed my thoughts in the world of memory.

The dark, damp, and cold alley was long and dark.

The subtle cry seemed imperceptible.

Nanxiang takes a step forward.

[You sat next to Ichiri Goto, who was hugging her knees and crying softly, breathing the cold, damp air that she usually breathed in the closet. 】

[She was a little surprised at your arrival, then she lowered her head, and then she threw herself into your arms, crying uncontrollably with guilt. But the cry was still so weak. 】

[She told you with guilt that it was her fault that caused rumors to spread in the school and your image was also damaged]

[You comforted her and told her you didn't care. 】

Memories...began to emerge.

Chapter 7. You know Ichiri Goto better

"sorry."

"It has nothing to do with Goto-kun."

Nanxiang gently stroked Goto Isato's long hair, feeling her trembling body.

"I'm sorry, if I could be better..."

She sobbed quietly.

"You are good enough. Thirty thousand people on the Internet are following you."

In the cold alley, Goto Kazuri could still feel the warmth from Nanxiang Shi's gentle words.

But the more this happened, the more she hated herself.

I hate my helpless self!

I hate my cowardly self!

I hate myself for being unable to look at others!

She is called "Guitar Hero" on the Internet, and she just wants to be like a hero.

The result is just this...powerless.

Faced with the rumor mongers, even a rebuttal voice cannot be raised.

"Blame me."

"Senior Nanxiang has spent so long with me, but I still haven't changed at all. It's obvious that Senior Nanxiang has worked so hard. If only I could have more courage..."

"I don't give a damn what those people at school say."

Goto Ichiri did not respond to this sentence, but silently raised his head and looked at Nanxiang Shi.

The boy's face was as cheerful as ever.

This excessive tenderness also made her feel even more heartbroken.

She lowered her head, hugged her knees, and fell into silence for a long time.

A long time passed.

She finally raised her head and said, "Please, leave me alone."

Just say these words.

Goto felt as if he had fallen into endless darkness.

There is black everywhere here.

It's like a cemetery in the wilderness with no moonlight.

All the strength in his body was ruthlessly stripped away.

The ground seemed to have become soft.

The oxygen in the air also seemed to become thinner.

When she looked at Nanxiang.

Nanxiang Shi also looked at her.

Subsequently.

Nanxiang Shi laughed.

As cheerful and sunny as usual.

"I don't agree."

He said.

"...Why?"

After taking his hand out of Nangoshi's, Gotou Ichiri's voice was still weak.

Being with someone with an awkward and gloomy personality like myself is obviously a form of torture.

"Because that's not what you really meant to say."

"That's what I really mean."

She was a little awkward, but she was emphasizing seriously.

She wasn't kidding.

"Yeah?"

As he said this, he leaned over and looked seriously into her eyes: "That's not what they say here."

Then, he slowly put his hand on her chest.

Through the thick sportswear, I can still feel the rapid heartbeat.
