MTL - When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System-Chapter 8

Hagihara Kenji carefully recalled how he and his friends got along during this time.

Hagihara Kenji, who is imaginative and highly observant, was pulled by his sister to watch a horror movie together the day before, and his thoughts almost immediately fell into the abyss.

He ignored his mother's words behind him calling for dinner, rushed to Matsuda Jinpei's house, and tiptoed to ring the doorbell.

Matsuda Jinhei opened the door and asked with a strange expression, "Hagihara?"

"Xiao Zhenping - I suspect we are hell!"

Matsuda Jinping: "...Huh?"

Hagihara Kenji said, "That's right, you didn't realize that no matter whether we go early or late, Xiaokong Ryo will be waiting for us right there?"

"And it's still dusk to see him—"

Abandoned small parks, appearing only in one place, or at the moment of magic, isn't this a standard feature in horror movies!

Matsuda Jinhei: "Are you an idiot? The park is because we had an appointment there. He was waiting there because we made an appointment the day before. As for the time...that's when we leave school!"

Hagihara Kenji blinked pitifully, and before he had time to say anything, the collar was pulled by Hagihara Chisou who was still wearing a junior high school uniform, "I'm sorry, did this guy bother you, I want to eat at home? Well, let's go first."

"Wait—sister, I'm not finished yet!"

"Shut up, you two go to school tomorrow to talk, do you know that mom will be worried!"

After Sensu Hagihara appeared, Matsuda Jinhei immediately calmed down, with a little blush on his cheeks, but unfortunately it was so dark that no one noticed at all.

The next day, Hagihara Kenji continued to discuss this issue with Matsuda Jinpei when he was leaving get out of class.

It's a pity that Matsuda Jinhei doesn't seem to be interested in this aspect, but asked: "That one last night, was that your sister?"

"Well, it's my sister, what's wrong?" Hagihara Kenji didn't pay attention to this matter at all, but continued: "I really think it's too coincidental! I asked my classmates specifically today, and they said they hadn't seen it! "

"Because we are the only ones who will pass by and go home." Matsuda Jinping pouted: "If you are really afraid, why don't you ask me in the afternoon?"

"...I'm not afraid!" Hagihara Kenji didn't pretend to be calm, the child's mind was more simple, he worried: "I just thought, if Xiaokong Ryo is really a ghost... Then he must be very lonely, right? He's always been alone...and he's so young..."

Matsuda Jinping was stunned, and the curly-haired elementary school student blinked: "If you're worried, go ask in the afternoon."

"And there are no Zhufu nearby, maybe it's because his family lives far away?"

Hagihara Kenji sighed like a small adult: "I hope..."

So when Ryo Zhufukong appeared at the small park again, he waited for two minutes, and saw Kenji Hagihara and Jinping Matsuda walking over with serious faces.

Zhu Fukongliang: "?"

Hagihara Kenji thought about the horror movie's routine, and blocked Matsuda Jinping's plan to ask directly, but first looked at the shadow of Zhu Fukongliang - great, there is a shadow!

Then Hagihara Kenji said, "Speaking of which, Xiaokong Ryo, where does your family live?"

"Not here." Zhu Fu Kongliang sat on the swing for a while and answered honestly.

"Do you mean living far away?" Kenji Hagihara asked again.

"No." Zhu Fukongliang did not speak frequently, but when asked a question, he would still answer according to his own thoughts.

So when Hagihara Kenji asked, he replied again: "It means not in this world."

This time, Matsuda Jinhei, who insisted on the scientific worldview, was also silent.

"Wait, I seem to have heard it wrong?" Matsuda Jinping asked hesitantly.

"Did your ears get sand?" Zhu Fukongliang tilted his head: "I said, not in this world."

The smile on Hagihara Kenji's face froze: "Huh?"

After seeing Zhu Fukong Ryo's doubts and realizing that such a question could not be answered they could understand, Hagihara Kenji changed the question: "What about Xiaokong Ryo's parents? You also mentioned that you have a brother before. Right!"

"They're not in this world either." Zhu Fu Kongliang was extremely honest.

This time, Matsuda Jinhei and Hagihara Kenji were both silent.

"Hold, sorry..." Hagihara Kenji's eyes gathered panic and regret almost instantly: "I don't know..."

Zhu Fu Kongliang looked at Hagihara Kenji who was about to cry with incomprehension: "Why do you want to apologize? What's wrong with you."

"..." Matsuda Jinping pulled Hagihara Kenji's collar back and took the initiative to pick up this strange dialogue: "This guy suspects that you are a ghost, because you are only there at this time every day."

Zhu Fukongliang replied seriously: "Because you guys made an appointment for this time."

"What about other times?"

"at home."

Hagihara Kenji was suddenly taken aback: "Huh?"

Matsuda Jinping sighed: "So you are not dead, you are not a ghost, right?"

Zhu Fukongliang was even more strange, and replied: "No, no, yes."

Matsuda Jinping: "What about your parents?"

Zhu Fukongliang: "At home."

Matsuda Jinping: "Where's your brother?"

Zhu Fukongliang: "One goes to work and one goes to school."

Matsuda Jinping: "So they are all alive, right?"

Zhu Fukongliang: "...Who died?"

Matsuda Jinhei laughed and said, "Hey, Hagihara, did you hear me?"

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

Hagihara Kenji squatted silently to the corner, turning his fingers on the bunker: Too, too embarrassing...!

Seeing that Zhu Fu Kongliang had to answer all his questions, Matsuda Jinping simply continued to ask: "Do you usually have trouble coming here?"

Zhu Fukongliang thought for a while, he came during sleep time: "It's okay."

Matsuda Jinping: "In that case... don't you usually go to school? Where is your school?"

"I'm taking a break from school." Zhu Fukong Ryo jumped off the swing and walked behind Hagihara Kenji, like Matsuda Jinpei just now, grabbed Hagihara Kenji's collar, trying to pull people up: "I don't like it School."

"It's a coincidence, I don't like it very much." Matsuda Jinping clicked, suddenly remembered an important question, and asked casually: "By the way, if this is the case, why did you just say that they are not in this world?"

Zhu Fukongliang turned back and tilted his head in doubt: "Because...isn't this a game?"

Hagihara Kenji, who just got up, was stunned: "Huh?"

Matsuda Jinping, who did not expect this answer: "Huh?"

Zhu Fukongliang blinked innocently.

Matsuda Jinping seemed to understand something in an instant, he narrowed his eyes: "So you suddenly beat me inexplicably before—"

"You beat me." Zhu Fukongliang's expression instantly became unhappy.

Zhu Fukongliang's impression of a person is largely due to the first impression, because he remembers many, many things. Every time he sees Matsuda Jinping, he will remember the first time he met and was beaten.

Even if no one mentions it deliberately, such pictures and impressions will appear in his brain. He remembers every bit of that time, even the direction of the wind.

"Obviously you are more ruthless later... Forget it, this is not the point, so at that time, you suddenly did this for no reason - because you thought it was a game?"

Looking at Zhu Fu Kongliang who nodded obediently, Matsuda Jinping felt that his fist was hard, but he had a strange idea again.

Hagihara treats Zhufu as a ghost, and Zhufu simply treats them as a game - good boy, is this the two-way running in the mouths of other people?

Zhu Fu Kongliang sighed in his heart that the NPC was too intelligent, and then Hagihara Kenji suddenly said: "Then why do you want to fight with Xiao Zhenping? Even in games, Xiao Kongliang will not fight 'people' casually, no ."

Zhu Fukongliang blinked his eyes slowly: "Well."

Matsuda Jinping also noticed something was wrong. Although he had not known each other for a long time, he could somewhat understand Zhu Fukongliang's character. Thinking of this, it was really unreasonable for Zhu Fukongliang to beat him.

When he was about to ask, he was interrupted by Kenji Hagihara. Kenji Hagihara seemed to be very sensitive to these things, so he asked, "So Ryo Kosora, do you think of us as characters in the game? "

Hagihara Kenji observed Zhu Fukong Ryo's surprised eyes for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curved: "But, have you ever thought about another possibility?"

Zhu Fukongliang: "...Huh?"

"The character models in the game, in addition to NPCs, aren't there players?" Hagihara Kenji said.

The author has something to say:

Elementary school student hagi: I heard my sister say that her class has a lot of secondary diseases! I know what to do! So first of all, I have to let Xiaokongliang see us as human beings!
