My portable gaming girlfriend

【Thirteenth day】

The concert takes place at the town's theater.

Before I arrived at the scene, I didn't expect so many people to come.

"Student Gao Cheng!"

This voice in the back is...

"Student Yuchuan?"

Tamagawa Sakura in a white dress and vintage leather shoes is calling me...

Wait, why is Sakura here? !

"Sakata-san couldn't come to the concert temporarily, so he gave me the two tickets he prepared, and asked me to come with Takashi-san~"

She is showing 2 concert tickets in her hand. Why does Sakata-san have two tickets? But thanks to these two tickets, otherwise I really don't know if there are so many people queuing up to buy tickets.

"Hasn't Sakata-san been looking forward to it for a long time? Why can't something happen?"

"It seems that I have eaten my stomach..."

Sakura thought for a moment, and replied with some hesitation.

But it doesn't matter to me, leave him alone.

Watching a concert with Sakura, I always feel like... a date? She is wearing a skirt today, which looks much better than the uniform school uniform, of course it does not mean that the school uniform is ugly.

Leaving from the crowded queue, we came to our seats.

It turned out to be a VIP seat ticket, which made me admire Sakata Haruji even more.

"I never thought that the popular idol would be a classmate of the same school. It is the happiest time to transfer here..."

The enthusiastic fans are too loud, I can't hear what Sakura is saying...

"Ah, Miss Suwon!"

The already noisy audience suddenly erupted——

On the stage, the black curtain slowly opened.

Mina Mizuhara, who wore a light blue skirt with a golden gauze, appeared under the golden spotlight.

Her usual appearance is always covered by too long bangs and thick framed eyes, but she just gives people a delicate feeling.

Today, her hairstyle and makeup have been meticulously taken care of, and with this amazing appearance, even I, who is used to seeing her, was shocked for a while.

"Hi everyone, I'm Mina Mizuhara, thank you for coming to my first concert today."

This appearance of her is different from her usual introversion and emotional self-expression, with a confident smile.

It's really the first time I've seen it.

"Miss Suwon, I love you!"

Fanatical fans chanted her name loudly.

Too bad, to be infected by this atmosphere, I want to dance unconsciously...

"Miss Suwon, come on!"

So, if the different heroines can't have an intersection, how can Sakura be here to cry out for Mizuhara Mina?

Maybe it's special circumstances, or today is a special day? Don't think about this problem for now.

...

Before I knew it, the last song had already been sung.

"...Thank you very much for coming to my first concert."

A closing word of thanks follows.

"Actually, I have been under a lot of pressure due to preparations for the concert. Although I practiced every day before, I was always afraid that 'I might fail', and I couldn't even sleep. I tried to avoid the concert at one time... But, I I survived and came here. Because I know that there are people who support me. Just the day before, someone said that as long as I show my usual self, no matter what, everyone will always support me. At that time, I was really super Touched...I want to thank everyone who supported me and the friend who encouraged me to come when I was desperate."

Finally, she smiled and said goodbye to everyone.

"Friends, it's amazing. I hope everyone cherishes those friends who share their troubles and happiness with them. Thank you!"

...

The curtain falls as she bows her goodbyes.

Sakura and most of the fans on the field were still immersed in the high spirits brought about by the warm atmosphere of the concert.

From this point of view, the concert was considered a success, right?

However, there are still some unresolved matters about Mizuhara Mina.

I told Sakura I had something to attend to and walked backstage alone. Probably because I had already greeted in advance, I was not blocked——

"Where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you say a word? Do you know that I've been looking for you for a long time?"

really……

"..."

Mizuhara's make-up hadn't been removed yet, she was just sitting on a chair, silently resisting a series of questions from her mother. It was the most tiring time when my daughter had just experienced acting. Instead of comforting her, she questioned her...

"She was at my house yesterday."

It was only after I said this sentence that I realized that it contained some terrible meanings, and Mina Mizuhara's face turned red all of a sudden...

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant to let her rest at my house after I found her, but I didn't do anything... This is not the point. The point is that her concert was very successful. This time she is not because of Ms. Suwon, you order, but to appear in this concert with my own will."

"You mean the way I treated her hurt her?"

"Of course you can't say that. Your strictness to her is undoubtedly for her better development in the future. It's just that you put too much pressure on her and sometimes make her unable to do what she should do. This time Haven't events proved that?"

"...What do you know... Ever since I left that man, I have vowed to let Mizuhara not rely on others and live a 'happy' life with her own strength."

What's happening here? Have you suddenly begun to recount your past? Is the plot forced to end? Will there be a feeling of being appointed?

"In order to cultivate her temperament, I used the compensation from the divorce to hire teachers to train her and pave the way for her future. I drove her in a high-end car to pick her up. I just wanted to let her understand that I will integrate into a society of upper-class people in the future, and I will live a life of the same class. The life of a gentleman."

"Maybe what you said is right. I was too strict with her and hurt her, but I did this for her happiness..."

"Wait a minute, I think your understanding of happiness is a bit off. In fact, everyone's understanding of happiness is different. For Mizuhara, the happiness she pursues may not be what you think. Live a 'superior person' ' life. Perhaps, you should ask her own wishes."

"...So Mina, what kind of life do you want to live?"

She was silent for a while, then turned to ask her daughter.

"This is the first time my mother asked me this question..."

Mina Mizuhara smiled wryly.

"Actually, I have always known my mother's hard work, so I would rather live a prescribed life than let my mother worry about me because of this kind of thing..."

Really sensible boy.

"But my mother never asked me what I really think. I really hope that my mother can know what I really think! Every day I see my classmates participating in club activities and going to the movies to work together. I am really very envious. I really hope I am them, I don’t need to go home to practice the piano, practice singing... But, for the sake of my mother’s ideal, I have to suppress my thoughts desperately, telling myself that it is wrong... As time goes by, I forget what I have thought about What kind of life is it?"

She calmed down her excited mood. It was probably the first time Ms. Suwon had seen such a character revealed by her, with a shocked look on her face.

"So, if you ask me such a question now, how can I possibly answer it..."

"Not that..."

Ms. Mizuhara covered her face with one hand, looking very tired...

The scene of emotional problems between mother and daughter who can't bear to look directly...

"Mizuhara-san wants to live a free life with his own will, right?"

At this time, I can only help her speak out.

"Mizuhara-san doesn't really hate singing and concerts. It can be seen that her confidence and happiness during the performance come from the bottom of her heart. The reason she wants to escape is because she can't bear the pressure from her mother... If you can give her some Liberty, I'm sure she's going to be even better than she's been... just like today's show."

"Student Gaocheng..."

Ms. Mizuhara put down her hand and looked directly at Mina Mizuhara.

"...I see, Mina, I have probably been wrong all along, I will let you do your own thing... I just hope that the result of doing this will make your life better, and you won't regret it in the future .”

"Mother... is this true?"

Mina Mizuhara asked her mother cautiously.

"I always do what I say. By the way, you did really well today."

"...Thank you mother! I won't regret it!"

——The loose mouth of getting her is probably settled, right? Although I don't know whether Mizuhara Mina's future will be bright or mediocre, whether she will become a star or a girl addicted to games...

But at least now it can end—

"By the way, I still have something to say to Gao Cheng."

"What... what's the matter?"

My heart beat faster, and I suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Mother, can we have a few words alone?"

She turned to Ms. Mizuwon, who complied with her request and left the room.

She wrung her fingers nervously.

"I really thank Gao Cheng for what happened in the past few days. If it weren't for you, I might have collapsed now...it would be impossible to have this successful performance."

Oops, why did her face turn red when she said thank you?

"And I like Gaocheng classmate!"

"Eh?!"

The unexpected confession made me feel unsteady. Of course, this is impossible in the game.

But—she confessed to me? I'm going to have a girlfriend? !

No, no, how is that possible, this must be a dream, right?

Wait, this is in the game, it's not wrong to say it's a dream...

And this is the moment before the ending. I heard that once the confession is completed, the game will end within a few hours, and there is no time for players to be sweet and tender at all.

Moreover, the most important thing is that I want to complete the hidden ending, and absolutely cannot accept the confession here...

"...Although Mizuhara-san is a very good girl, but I..."

No way, I can’t say anything!

It's too cruel to send a good card to a beautiful girl. Either to me or to the other person.

"...I see, Gaocheng classmate."

She calmed down before I did.

"It's because I was too abrupt. I didn't even know if Gao Cheng has a girlfriend, so I confessed without authorization...Excuse me, does Gao Cheng already have a girlfriend?"

Although the voice was kept as steady as possible, the tone betrayed her nervousness.

"I……"

How should I answer, since I have never been confessed, I have no experience in issuing cards at all!

"...Since you are so hesitant, does it mean that Gao Cheng has a girlfriend?"

Recalling the card issuing method seen in other works——

"……I have a favorite person."

"The person you like, who is it?"

Don't ask such a serious question, as if it will be blackened in the next second.

"Yes...it's my classmate."

I automatically bring Sakura's identity into the 'Favorites'.

"Same, classmate?"

I nodded... Is it surprising to like a classmate?

"Why, I finally fell in love with someone but I can't be together... I obviously did the bento first, and I won't lose to my childhood sweetheart..."

In fact, strictly speaking, that is also the Skyfall type...

"I'm sorry, but I think you will meet someone better..."

I said this classic line of a good person card, and my heart hurts...

"...let me rest for a while."

She turned her head away and issued an order to evict the guest.

I just remembered that she hadn't had a good rest for two days. If it was a real person, she might have fallen asleep on the ground.

"Goodbye, then."

I stood up and left the room.

It's not that I haven't thought about the situation of giving a good person card to a beauties who post back, but after experiencing it in the game, I realized that the ending that is destined to give a good person card cannot end well. This was known when I decided to open the hidden ending.

After a while the ending doesn't matter to me anymore.

"Student Gao Cheng!"

When I left the theater, Sakura still hadn't left, and was lingering at the door... Could it be that she was waiting for me?

"Student Yuchuan?"

"I'm waiting for you to go together. I haven't come out for fear that something will happen to you. Your face is a little pale. What happened?"

She leaned closer to me and looked at me with concern.

"nothing……"

I was a little touched that he had been waiting for me.

"By the way, Yuchuan-san... is it cruel for a girl to be rejected?"

Just ask about it in the last moments before the ending.

"...It's really cruel, but everyone's experience is different. You may not forget the sad ten years, or you may have a new life in a month."

"That's it..."

Anyway, in reality, it is impossible to have love experience, so I don’t understand.

【game over】

After taking off the helmet, I let out a long sigh of relief.

The emotional touch of this game is a little too real for me, and it's not good to get caught up in it accidentally, like those who suffer from "virtual dependency syndrome"...

After playing for too long, let's go for a walk. By the way, buy something for dinner.

It was dusk outside, and the temperature was no longer so unbearable compared to daytime. When I walked to the grilled cold noodle stall at the school gate, there were already 3 people lined up there.

"—This is your cold noodles, please go slowly."

The grilled cold noodles bought by the couple in front of me have just been put into a box, and the freshly baked cold noodles are so craving...

"I don't want to eat this kind of bad food."

The woman in the couple suddenly shouted violently, what's the matter?
