Chapter 268 Far away in Tokyo

   Tokyo side.

   "Eri, are you up yet? It's so early today."

   "Ah, Mom... good morning."

   On the morning of the holiday before the new semester begins.

  Although the warm weather makes it easy to want to stay in bed, but Eri is already sitting on the sofa in the living room facing the TV.

   "Oh, Eiri, good morning!"

   "Good morning Dad too."

   In this spacious and luxurious living room, a maid wearing a long black and white dress shuttles through it. Leonard Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura, who rarely rested at home, greeted their daughters happily.

   Naturally remove the handle from the drawer of the coffee table, curl up into the soft velvet sofa, and press the round raised button in the center of the handle.

  OM—

   A blue light flashed on the huge TV screen, and there were three options for logging in to the user.

   Leaving aside the other two users of "Leonard" and "SawamuraSayuri", Yingli easily entered the user with the Q-version avatar with golden double ponytails.

  噔~噔噔.

   A gentle melody emanates from the home theater speakers, shaking the eardrums.

   While picking up the remote control and turning down the volume, he opened a beautiful girl game with a gorgeous cover.

  —"Amber Concerto"

   "Oh! Dad, I have the original PC version of this game," said Leonard, who saw the game screen his daughter was playing.

   "Well, I know, I also borrowed it to play." Ying Lili nodded and responded.

   If it is an ordinary parent-child conversation, the topic will probably be ‘what are you doing? ''play games. ''yes. ' and so on, it will end.

   But this is clearly not the case in this elite Japanese-British international family.

   Even outstanding diplomats were so excited that their voices suddenly became high.

   "Hey!? This version actually has an additional script that the PC version doesn't even have a bonus eroge screen, and the student's sister becomes the target of the attack!?"

Sawamura Sayuri on the side raised the sleeve of the kimono to her mouth and reminded: "But my dear, since it is a circulation version, it means that all the stencils have been cut out? Even if the additional plot is done well, like Wouldn't the charm of a work like the Amber Concerto be halved with a story and eroge plot tightly integrated?"

"Uh, but I still care about it... After all, in the PC eroge version, my sister always hates the male protagonist. How does it develop to become a strategy? It makes people very concerned." Speaking in pure Japanese Leonard Spencer scratched the back of his head in distress.

  Eri Li, who is the party involved, frowned and said: "...I said, because you can't enter the additional plot because you don't know all the characters, even if you want to watch me now, there's no way."

   In general, this family is a hopeless otaku that does not match its conspicuous appearance and prominent status.

  The lively and lively music is staged on the screen together with the vivid CG images.

   "Huh? Eiri, the options here seem to be very important, right?"

   "I know, Dad, I've played it many times."

   "Do you know which way to go, which means you want to take the school route!? The essence of "Amber Concerto" should be the heroines of the big house route, right!?"

"You're the only one who can make that kind of evaluation, the big house line or something, it's just the heroine's very **** script but very empty bad work. I really don't think it will be interesting in the circulation version." Sawamura Sayuri bluntly said. .

   "...Listen, whether it's Eri or Sayuri, if you don't know what the king's way is, you can't make a good work, right?"

   "Well, what Dad said about the kingship is a bit off track. It's all maids, maid costumes, serving play and so on." Yingri couldn't help but complain.

   "First, let's talk about it first! The maids I'm interested in are only two-dimensional!? After all, there are three-dimensional maids working in our family, so I can't make it clear!"

  A family of three with distinct hobbies and attributes, so heatedly discussing the transplanted version of the eroge, the harmonious atmosphere filled the air with flowers.

  But although she has a good relationship with her family, Yingri's range of friends outside of this is so narrow that she can't help but sigh. Even his parents were faintly aware of this.

   "Speaking of which, English pear."

  Sawamura Sayuri squeezed her chin lightly and said, "I remember that this first limited edition was not a super rare item that was sold out in seconds at the beginning of the reservation, and now the average online auction price has risen to 50,000 yen?"

   "Huh? Well..."

   "Because Ying Lili is a good boy who can't touch Yahoo auctions, how did you get started?"

   "So that's what my friend lent me, that..." Eiri replied hesitantly.

   And this sentence, which sounds very common to outsiders, made her parents stunned at the same time.

"friend!?"

   The two said in unison.

   "Is that Kato-san?"

   "Is that Kato-kun?"

  Eriri shook her head hesitantly, her expression a little tangled.

  "Isn't that so...?" - Leonard Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but look at each other, conveying the meaning with their eyes.

   What followed was a surprise, the joy that her daughter finally began to expand her narrow circle of friends.

  Sawamura Sayuri: "Yes, yes... Ying Li also finally made friends who can enjoy galgame together!"

  Leonard Spencer: "Bring it home, be sure to bring it home! Let's play games all night together!"

   "Um, uh, um...if there is a chance." Eiri said vaguely.

   But this statement obviously cannot satisfy the curiosity of the two. After all, since Kato Yusuke, they have heard the word "friend" from their daughter's mouth for a long time, so they continue to ask.

  Sawamura Sayuri: "Then, what kind of child is he? Classmates? Friends in the club? Or seniors or juniors?"

  Leonard Spencer: "Or did you meet him at an offline party? No, maybe it's the mysterious and hidden heroine who only communicated online...?"

   "That, that..."

   "Yes, yes, how about going to that friend's house tomorrow to say hello?"

   "Yes, yes! Tomorrow there will be a party with the diplomats, but that kind of thing is completely put aside..."

   "Wait, wait! Don't you two get so excited!?"

   Feeling overwhelmed by this excessive love for her daughter, Eri hurriedly stopped and took a deep breath.

   "Besides, besides, it's not someone my father and mother don't know... It's not necessary, let's go say hello now..."

   "...child we know?"

   "But, even if you say that, we have no clue..."

   "Enough, enough! This kind of thing... let's continue and play games."

  Sawamura Sayuri: "...?"

   Leonard Spencer: "...?"

   The husband and wife turned their heads together and fixedly looked at their daughter who was sitting in the middle. Seeing Ying Lili's reaction, there was a dramatic change.

   The hand holding the handle began to tremble, and she gradually lowered her head, but her face flushed to the ears completely betrayed her expression.

"what!"

"what!"

   The two of them, who seemed to realize something, said at the same time.

   "Could it be... Lun-kun?"

   "Is it Lunya!?"

  咻~

   "Um..." Eiri buried her head even lower.

   Centered on the bullseye.

   "Then, then Inri." Leonard Spencer asked tentatively, "Are you finally reconciled with Ren?"

"No la!"

   "Said there was no reconciliation... Isn't it Lun Ye who gave you this game?"

   Ying Lili shook her head, "No... I paid well."

   "What, it really is Lun-kun."

   "No~ there's nothing like that~"

"Really, I miss Ya Lun Ye-kun so much." A flash of nostalgia flashed on Sawamura Sayuri's face, and recalled: "Mingming used to come to play at home often when I was in elementary school, but I don't know when it started to stop coming. …”

   "That, that's...! Look, wasn't it assigned to a different class in the fourth grade, so the topic was gradually lost..." Eiri explained vaguely.

   Even though she has a good relationship with her parents since childhood, there are things in her heart that she cannot confess to the two of them no matter what.

   That's why the childhood sweetheart with whom she had an unusual relationship would later break with her.

   And the reason for this is not that the interests and hobbies are gradually different as she said, but the tragic conflict caused by the same interests.

   "Then why did you suddenly reconcile now?"

   In the face of the diplomat's father's question, Yingri carefully chose the words and phrases, and said: "Also, it's not... suddenly, but he suddenly put BD animations in my shoe cabinet a while ago, so gradually..."

   "Gradually?" Sayuri raised her brows when she heard this, "Does that mean you will gradually deepen your relationship? It's like getting back together first, then returning to being a housemate, and finally becoming a houseboy..."

"Hey!?"

"Honey!"

   "Sayuri-san!"

  ""Let him take responsibility~! ""

   "No, no, no! No, that's what happened~!" The golden twintails were waving constantly in the air.

   After that, it took a lot of effort for Eri to finally solve this ridiculous misunderstanding to her parents.

"...That's it, anyway, that guy seems to be secretly preparing something lately, probably because he asked me to deliberately bring this kind of rare goods for me to play first. It's just treating others as pawns... It's too much right. Bar?"

   She was a girl who was inexplicably depressed while talking to herself, and confessed her suspicions to her parents.

   So this meaningless debate about childhood sweethearts has finally come to an end.

   "That's right..." Leonard Spencer shook his head regretfully, "Ming Ming Lun also told me when he was a child that he wanted to make a galgame that everyone could laugh at, be cute, and be moved."

"Ah, so Eri-ri also said something similar at the time." Sayuri Sawamura echoed, "It seems like when I was visiting the shrine in the second grade of elementary school, Lun Ye-kun and the three of us painted a painting with Akira Kishi... It was the heroine's childhood sweetheart in "ToHeart" that they swore together before the prayer card."

   "Ha, ha? Why are you talking about childhood sweethearts again!?"

"What, don't you remember Yingri? Just after Lun Ye-kun made that oath "one day he will become the president of the game company", didn't you also say "I will definitely become the Lun Ye game company" of the original artist". "

   "Wait, did I really say that!?"

"Aah~ If you can't remember, I can look for the photo album. You were wearing a very beautiful kimono at that time... Wouldn't you consider inviting your childhood sweetheart to play at home again? Eiri." Sayuri Sawamura smiled Said with a full face.

   thus provoked a strong reaction from his daughter.

   "What~ what a childhood sweetheart! What a boy who promised the future! Isn't it just a dead house! How can it be possible to get along with that kind of guy!"

   "No, if you're talking about a dead house, both of you are Ying Lili?" Leonard Spencer reminded.

   "Yes, although Kato-kun is also very good in this respect, but his level of occupancy is not deep, right? Speaking of who can really keep up with your interest, I think it is only Lun Ye-kun."

  Because of Yingli Li's too typical dead duck mouth, her parents who were aroused by her daughter kept teasing her.

   "Of course I have friends and friends! Because I made a lot of them after entering high school! So old friends, childhood sweethearts, etc., no longer exist in my history, and I have no interest!"

   I don't know what to think, but the girl suddenly calmed down.

   "Speaking of mother." She turned her head and asked, playing the game in her hand, "Have you finished the bookstore consignment?"

"Well~ I already placed an expedited order at Mr. Yamakawa's printing factory yesterday. If there is no accident, it will probably be delivered to stores such as "Tiger's Cave" and "Animate" the day after tomorrow. . "

   "That's right..." Inri nodded, "Thank you, Mom."

   "You're welcome, you can tell Kato-kun the news, he'll probably be happy too, right?"

   The girl could not help frowning slightly, "That kind of thing is necessary..."

The    words suddenly paused here.

   Involuntarily, the scene at the Comiket venue appeared in his eyes, like a dazzling golden crow rising from the sea, illuminating the blue eyes.

   "...My phone seems to be left in the room, then I'll go get it."

   Looking at his daughter who dropped the handle and got up from the sofa, Leonard Spencer couldn't help but asked aloud, "Huh? Don't you wait for the game to finish before you go, Eiri?"

   pat pat pat.

   The light footsteps leading to the second floor came along with the girl's words: "Anyway, I've played through all the endings. Dad, you can follow my progress and it doesn't matter."

  In order to see the additional script earlier.

  The outstanding diplomat picked up the ps3 controller and continued to play. At the same time, he complained to his wife: "According to Yingri's preference, it's probably going to take Yuuki's route again."

  Sawamura Sayuri smiled, "After all, it's the route of childhood sweethearts."

  The two looked at the TV screen together.

   The plot here happens to be at the climax of the academy route.

As the female protagonist, when she was caught by the male protagonist Jingyu from the Heavenly Fall Department, she was accidentally bumped into by Yujihui, a childhood sweetheart, and was forced to choose between chasing Yujihui and staying where she was. .

   This is an important turning point in the game.

  According to the player's choice, the next plot direction and ending will also change.

   Just when Leonard Spencer was about to follow his daughter's habit and choose the option of "Going to Chase You Jihui"...

"what-??"

   He was surprised to find that this option was no longer on the screen... To be precise, the candidate had already been selected.

  CG switches in the next second.

   The distant back of childhood sweethearts flashed away on the screen, and in the end, the one who stayed in place with the heroine was Jingyu, the male protagonist of the heaven descending department.

"…Eh?"

   Sawamura Sayuri, who saw this scene, was also surprised and looked at her husband, who happened to be looking over.

   The eyes of the husband and wife looked at each other in the air.

   "Is this a coincidence...?"

   "Have you lost interest in childhood sweethearts...?"

   They read this meaning in each other's eyes, and then invariably looked in the direction of the second floor.

   There was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

  …
