Chapter 72: Chapter 072: Staying Overnight? Date?
Compared to the previous cheerful and happy two, Lin Ye and Kyou Fujibayashi is walk was much quieter.
Kyou Fujibayashi was a little unaccustomed to the silence, so she took the initiative to break it.
"I still don't know where you work."
"Sobu High School."
Lin Ye didn't mention that he was still a high school student. Even Ren Nanase didn't realize that he was actually just a second-year student. With his face, Lin Ye didn't feel that he looked that young.
"Mm."
A high school teacher? She thought.
"I don't know if Miss Kyou would mind me asking a more personal question,"
He wanted to know whether the two sisters had any emotional connection with the male protagonist of the original story.
This could also help him determine if this version of the story had diverged. However, considering the original was a game adaptation, this was still a question. After all, games tend to have multiple routes.
"I mind." She immediately refused.
"Ah, let me see if I can ask Miss Ryou Fujibayashi instead."
"Don't go looking for Ryou."
Kyou Fujibayashi quickly stepped in front of Lin Ye, and the two stopped in a standoff.
"Ask then! What's the question?"
She compromised and made a deal.
Kyou Fujibayashi knew her sister's personality very well. She knew that for the sake of Ren Nanase, her sister would definitely answer Lin Ye's question.
"If I'm being too forward, I apologize in advance."
She grew more attentive, narrowing her eyes and staring at Lin Ye.
"Say it."
"Miss Kyou, do you and your sister have anyone you like?"
If this were the original story, they should have someone they liked, right?
Kyou Fujibayashi is expression darkened. Her eyes turned sharp, her breath cold, and her right hand made a 'creak creak' sound.
"Sorry for being abrupt, you don't have to answer."
"No."
Kyou Fujibayashi gave Lin Ye an answer.
"I warn you, don't go after Ryou. If I find out you're interested in her, I won't let you off. I'll make you regret it."
She stretched her muscles, showing off her strength.
"What if I'm interested in you, Miss Kyou?"
"I'll beat you every time we meet."
She clenched her fist and swung it, creating a whooshing sound with her punches.
Lin Ye laughed. The girl in front of him had the same violent tendencies as the original character in his memories.
Kyou Fujibayashi got even angrier. Just as she was about to threaten him again, a voice came from behind.
"Big sister, what are you two doing?"
"Nothing, I'm coming."
Kyou Fujibayashi immediately turned around. Her long purple hair swayed, leaving a beautiful arc. As she hurried to catch up, she shot Lin Ye a fierce glare.
Lin Ye watched the purple-haired girl's back as she quickly caught up, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Ren Nanase and my sister are friends, so there will be more opportunities in the future."
No rush, take it slow.
Now, Lin Ye had plenty of patience.
Today's two surprises made him feel good.
What other surprises could this world bring him? He was looking forward to it.
"Waiting for the appearance of the other heroines from the other works."
For that,
Lin Ye resisted the urge to go online and, based on his memories, began searching step by step.
He really enjoyed the surprise and novelty of the female protagonist suddenly appearing.
If he searched for each work one by one, the ones that weren't available would disappoint him, and the joy brought by some works would only be to a certain extent. There's nothing more surprising than encountering the heroine unexpectedly.
9:00 PM,
The four of them parted ways.
The Fujibayashi sisters were already near the house they rented.
"Ren, next time, come with Lin-kun to visit our house. I'm really sorry today, I can't entertain you, the house is still a bit messy and hasn't been tidied up."
"It's fine! We'll come next time. Ryou, if you run into any problems, feel free to ask me. I'm more familiar with Chiba, after all, I've worked here for a few months longer than Ryou."
"Mm."
They said their goodbyes.
Next,
Lin Ye sent Ren Nanase back home.
"Lin-kun, how about I go back alone?"
"Are you worried I'll attack you?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ren Nanase shook her head repeatedly.
"It's just that the apartment I rented is far from yours. If you drop me off and then head back, it will be too late."
"This is simple."
"Hm? How do we solve it?"
Ren Nanase had full confidence in Lin Ye's problem-solving skills.
"I'll stay over at your place for the night."
Lin Ye said this seriously, with no hint of joking.
Ren Nanase froze for a while before quickly reacting and rejecting him.
"No, no, absolutely not."
"I won't do anything to you."
"I don't believe that. Men always say that, and then... then..."
"Ren, you seem to have a lot of experience."
"I-I read it in books! Anyway, no staying over, absolutely not. I'll pay for you to stay at a hotel."
If she let Lin Ye stay over, she couldn't imagine what might happen that night. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to refuse in the end.
So, rejecting him from the start was her best course of action.
"Together?"
"I'll sleep at my apartment, and you can stay at a hotel."
"What a shame."
Lin Ye thought, if he went to a hotel with Ren Nanase for the night, he wasn't sure whether it would trigger the "strange game" again and lead him back into the "Ren's Heart Love Hotel."
"Are you free tomorrow??"
"I'm on break."
She had just passed over Ryo's plan to go shopping that weekend, but Ryo didn't agree, because she and her sister Kyou Fujibayashi had to tidy up the house, so she didn't have much time.
"If you don't mind, come accompany me around Chiba. I need to buy some things, but I'm not very familiar with Chiba."
Ren Nanase didn't doubt that Lin Ye wasn't familiar with Chiba.
But wasn't this a date?
A date? Wasn't this a bit too fast?
"If you have other things to do this weekend, it's fine."
"I have time. How about... the day after tomorrow? I want to rest tomorrow."
She wanted to use tomorrow to relieve the physical and mental stress of today and think carefully about her relationship with Lin Ye, as well as the date the day after tomorrow.
"No problem, let's meet at 11 AM the day after tomorrow. We'll decide the meeting place then, just contact me by phone."
"Mm,"
More than half an hour later,
Lin Ye sent Ren Nanase to the bottom of her apartment building.
Until they parted ways, Lin Ye didn't ask to go upstairs to visit her.
This made Ren Nanase breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she wondered if her refusal was too firm and if it made Lin Ye unhappy.
"Next time, next time, I'll invite Lin-kun over. He must be interested in a girl's apartment, right?"
After watching Lin Ye's figure disappear from view, Ren Nanase returned to her apartment. As soon as she entered, she saw the sexy underwear scattered on the floor and immediately ran over to grab it and stuff it into the bathroom.
"No, next time I must pay attention, I must tidy up before leaving."
She repeatedly reminded herself, her face flushed red.
If Lin Ye had seen that underwear, it would have been too embarrassing. Just thinking about it now made her uncomfortable, let alone if it had actually happened.
An hour later, Lin Ye returned to his apartment just before midnight.
After washing up, he sat at his desk, took out his notebook and pen, and began summarizing the day.
"This strange game '18 Bus' is still related to the Chiba Station fire incident,"
"So, was the Chiba Station fire really just an ordinary fire accident?"
Regarding this,
Lin Ye expressed his doubts.
