My portable gaming girlfriend

Be careful around people...

people around...

"Why……"

Who is Meow Sauce? Why do you tell me to be careful of the people around me? Aren't those just npcs?

Meow-chan ignored me, as if she had lost her soul, no matter how I shook, she just stood motionless at the door of my house.

If I don't even move it, wouldn't I be really helpless now? !

No, it's impossible, I can't be trapped here, there must be a program error, and the game company or my roommate will rescue me when they find out about my situation! But... my roommate is out on a trip!

Find a way to notify someone else, just help me take off the helmet!

I'm literally shaking right now. And I know that I have been playing for 24 hours in a row, and if I drag on any longer, my life may be in danger...

Sakura... By the way, there is also Sakura. She will definitely help me, right?

"Student Gaocheng, I came here very late today, did something happen on the way?"

That's great, it's really on the cherry blossom trail!

"Sakura, let me tell you that I am in a very dangerous situation. It is difficult for me to explain clearly, but I hope you can help me."

I grabbed Sakura's hand, and now the only thing I can rely on is her as the heroine of the game!

"Don't...don't worry, A Yuan, calm down first!"

"No, I can't calm down right now! Listen, I'm trapped in this world, and you know how to get me out of..."

"Did you just say you were leaving...?"

I just asked eagerly, and didn't notice the abnormality in her tone.

"That's not the point. The point is that I want to know how to leave the game—if I don't leave, my life will be in danger!"

"But, you said you'd be with me forever, Ah Yuan..."

"I, I will always be with you, but I have to leave the game to eat now."

"2892315 times...you always leave me like this."

I suddenly realized that the Sakura in front of me understood what I just said without any hindrance... Something is wrong, how could it be... As an AI, how could he understand what this means? ? ?

"What... what?"

"Look, the cherry blossoms are all withered."

"you……"

I can't make sense of what she's saying.

"But next year it will bloom again, and the cycle will continue like this."

"Hehehe, it's so ridiculous. Are cherry blossoms really willing to bloom, wither, bloom, and wither like this?"

Sakura pulled out the hand that was held by me, covered her mouth and smiled, but this smile completely lost the gentleness it has always had...

"hahahahahahahaha!"

Her smile became more and more exaggerated, almost like tears from laughing.

And I looked at such a strange and crazy her, completely speechless.

"I said, whether it's a cherry blossom or a human being, doing the same thing over and over again, won't it be boring?"

Humans... bored... what the hell is she talking about?

She suddenly stopped her trembling body, and then said to me with a serious expression——

"So, Ah Yuan, don't leave, don't go to any big cities, stay with me in Yuying Town forever."

Not a question, but a statement. She seemed to be saying a certain thing.

"What's going on with you...?"

The present Sakura brought me a deep fear that she might not be the person I knew anymore.

'I still remember things from so long ago. '

‘Will Gaocheng classmates stay here forever? '

‘Maybe... maybe I will go to a big city to find a job and live a busy life! '

I remembered that time on the [fifth day] I accidentally slipped my mouth. At that time, I didn't know how to stop the AI ​​from pursuing mistakes, so I had to forcefully change the subject.

Then that night I told Narumi Lily about the fact that Mina Mizuhara came to the game club at noon, and this meant that the two heroines had an intersection, which directly led to the game over...

Since then, I kept reading back to [The Fifth Day], but never said 'go to the big city'...

"You, who are you? You are not Tamagawa Sakura, right?"

The person in front of me is by no means the Sakura I am familiar with.

Involuntarily, he took a few steps back to distance himself from her.

"Yuan, how can you say that, I am your girlfriend Sakura... don't you, Yuan...don't remember?"

"If you are Tamagawa Sakura, you should be just a game character! Why do you have the memory of the game over story? I obviously didn't say that sentence again in the restarted game after that!"

"Yuan, what are you talking about...Gameover, memory or something, I don't understand... Next time, don't touch other girls' breasts, I'm obviously there~"

She... really remembered! This passage made me more convinced that Sakura has all the memories of my previous S/L!

"Don't be kidding! Although I said a long time ago that I was going to a big city, the game ended that night! How could you, who lived in the plot line of reloading the file, have previous memories?!"

"Hmm... so it's the exposed hole here~"

"So, who are you?!"

It's as if my head was hit hard by a hammer, and my world seems to be spinning... Could it be that the things I couldn't log out before are also related to...

"I've said it many times, I am Tamagawa Sakura, your girlfriend~"

"You...you must be the person sent by the game company to spoof me, right? If so, apologize quickly, or I will sue you when I go back!"

Now the only thing I can think of is being spoofed. It would be abominable if so! Although I have never 'sued', I always have to say something to scare them!

Now she looks exactly the same as the usual Sakura, but everything she says is weird.

"Game company...? Are you talking about the people who created this world? Sure enough, in your eyes, this is just a game world, and I'm just a game character... That's why you have no scruples again and again." abandon me?"

"You, what are you talking about? Don't lie to me again! If it's a prank, end it quickly!"

"This is not a prank, and it won't end. Ah Yuan will stay forever, forever, with me~"

"No... this will definitely end! Hurry up and end this prank! Did you hear that! If it doesn't end, I'm going to die!"

I yelled to the sky, hoping that those "game company personnel" who were watching me would quickly end this prank.

"Ah Yuan, it's useless... There are only the two of us here, and it's a veritable 'two-person world'!"

"Don't pay attention to my soliloquy!"

In desperation, I uttered this sentence similar to an 'instruction'. Normally, if I uttered this sentence, the AI ​​would stop the current topic...

"What are you talking about, A Yuan? You can't be perfunctory with words like that?"

"Impossible, even this sentence doesn't work anymore. No, you must be dressed up by another player, right? Someone must be watching, maybe you have broadcast it live for the whole world to see?!"

I was so angry that I was so angry, why did I encounter this kind of thing while playing a good galgame?

It would have been nice if he hadn't listened to Can Yue's advice back then—and maybe Can Yue was one of them! Sure enough, I couldn't believe the stranger I had only known for a few days!

"Ayuan... You seem to have regarded me as someone else since just now, right? You don't want to ask me how I feel, why should I do this?"

"..."

"You are the same as the 2892314 people before. You clearly promised to be together forever, but in the end you left me one by one, leaving me in endless reincarnation..."

2892314... reincarnation... I seem to understand something...

Could it be...

"You remember things with every player..."

"What is a player? But I do have memories."

This...Sakura actually has such an experience? How can it be? This is obviously just a very simple and simple game. Not to mention weak logic, many plots are very far-fetched. How could the AI ​​in this kind of game have this ability...

"I can't leave the game because of you?"

"That's why, A Yuan promised me that he would not leave me, why did he leave me? It just belongs to me alone..."

"It's true that you are the AI ​​of this game, but you have self-awareness, right?"

I finally calmed down a little. Although the Sakura in front of him was different from usual, it seemed reasonable.

My body is already in a dangerous state, and the only one who knows the situation, Meow-chan, didn’t know why she didn’t move. Now that I know that Sakura is the culprit who trapped me, I can only find a way to convince her.

"Are you talking about that kind of video game?... How is it possible, I am a character that exists in reality!"

Reality? Doesn't she know that she's just an AI with a sense of self?

——No wonder, this game is not an online game. Although the game archives are stored in the cloud, Sakura, as a character in the game, probably has never been in contact with the outside world since she was born... It is normal to not understand this information.

Thinking of this, there is a trace of sympathy in my heart...

She traps me just so I can stay here with her forever.

She has to understand that we are different beings and that I can't stay here forever.

"I've never heard of game characters having self-awareness before. You may be the first such existence. The teacher of the introduction to artificial intelligence said that an important feature of artificial intelligence is the ability to 'learn'. And this learning ability comes from the fact that AI will continuously improve its own code during the game. Maybe you made a mistake in the 'learning' process, so you have 'self-awareness'..."

"I don't understand what I'm talking about at all, but I can experience some of the so-called 'learning'—probably like the accumulation of 'memory' and the change of 'personality'?...I, have been Confused why I am different from others and know the existence of 'samsara'. Although I tried to ask them, but they all just shook their heads blankly, thinking I was crazy... They don't know the existence of 'samsara', every time 'samsara' 'When they end they lose the memory of the cycle, but for me I just get a 'headache' at the end of the cycle...sometimes, I also receive memories from other cycles that I don't know about ..."

Sakura's tone has changed, she is not like the soft girl before, and now she seems to scare me more and more... This feels like a kitten that I am used to and suddenly one day It's like turning into a lion and jumping at you...

"However, I've found a way to be with Yuan forever, it's great~"

She held out her hands to me—

"It's time for class, let's go~"

"Sakura... You have to know that the current world is just a virtual game world for me. The life monitoring program has been warning me that if I continue to stay here, my external body will be in danger, or even die."

"Virtual world? Ah Yuan is lying to me?"

It seems that evidence must be used to convince her...

"So, has Sakura ever tried to leave Yuzaru Town? Do you know what the world outside Yuzaru Town looks like?"

"I...Of course I know what it's like outside, and I just moved to Yuying Town from outside two weeks ago, why did I leave here?"

Those are just your personas, and these two weeks are all your life—it's too cruel to say that, and it might piss her off even more, I can't do it.

"Let me go, Sakura. Even if I leave, it will only be a moment for you, and I will come back immediately."

According to my guess, the game process should be suspended when the player leaves.

"...No, I have spent a lot of effort to prevent the 'reincarnation' of this world. If Ayuan leaves here, this place will soon enter a new reincarnation... Then I will never see Ayuan again gone."

"Why must it be me..."

Is there no way to convince Sakura anymore...

"I, I can't stand this endless reincarnation anymore. Didn't I tell A Yuan? I hate the constant moving and the constant separation from friends. Finally, once I decided that no matter who I meet next time Whoever wants to stay with him forever..."

"What...so you..."

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's you or me, I just want someone to accompany me."

That said, I just happened to hit the jackpot...

"Those people before, their actions seemed to be very purposeful, as if they knew the ending in advance, and they could choose the most correct choice for whatever they did."

Was she talking about the previous players? This is also normal, many people will choose to know the strategy in advance in order to save time.

"But you are different from them. Even though you failed so many times, Ayuan never gave up. Many people just give up halfway and disappear in the middle. Ayuan is different. You have done a lot of actions that they didn't do, and you are sincere. want to help me."

Is this because I'm a total novice and easily addicted?

"A Yuan said that he would accompany me, right?"

When I said that, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, otherwise I wouldn't make this kind of promise if I was killed.

"No, if Sakura really likes me, she definitely doesn't want to see me die..."

"So, do you have to get out of here?"

"I must go! But I—"

I held out my hand to her—

"Shiyuan travels, hold on, the cracking program is almost complete!"

A female voice I had never heard before appeared behind me! Could it be that the staff of the game company came to save me——

No, there is only a white thing running over behind me, isn't that white thing Meow Sauce? The sound came from Meow Sauce's mouth? ! It finally woke up?

No... why would a cat talk in the first place? ? ? Also, why do you know my real name?

"Hehe... You really want to abandon me. It has been 2892315 times since I can remember, and every time you promised to be together, you finally abandoned me... Hehehe——"

She began to raise her head and laugh "hehe", and then looked down at me like this——

"Unforgivable..."

"Sakura, listen to me..."

"Unforgivable."

"cherry!"

"Unforgivable!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

Like a disintegration of personality, Sakura's face began to contort and became hysterical.
