Chapter 535

~7 min read 1,239 words

Lin Ye looked at the girl's silence and knew that this soft-hearted girl couldn't do it.

"I'll do it!"

Lin Ye said,

"No, don't kill me,"

Sawada Yoriko begged for mercy, "Please let me go, I'm willing to do anything, I have an eerie object, I can give it to you,"

"I, I have very good skills, I can satisfy you, no matter what you want me to do, I'm willing!"

She took out the eerie object, placed it at Lin Ye's feet, and even hugged Lin Ye's left foot, begging bitterly.

"You have to die, being targeted by a player, I can't rest easy."

What he was most worried about was Sawada Yoriko hurting Muku in reality.

Taking revenge on Muku was another best way for Sawada Yoriko to take revenge on Tengabayashi An.

"I won't, I swear, I really won't,"

"An, please, don't kill me, I was momentarily possessed, forgive me,"

"Help me speak up! An, we have four years of friendship! An..."

But all Sawada Yoriko saw was Tengabayashi An's silence, covered by her hair.

She looked desperate.

That sharp blade made her terrified,

She regretted it; why... hadn't she killed Tengabayashi An sooner!

"Tengabayashi An, I should have killed you sooner..."

'Swish!'

Lin Ye stabbed down with his sword, piercing through Sawada Yoriko's chest.

"You... you guys... won't die well..."

Finally, she issued a curse.

Then she breathed her last.

Tengabayashi An closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly.

In the end, there was mostly an inexplicable feeling of loss, her heart feeling empty.

"Thank you..."

"I thought you would stop me!"

"Won't,"

She couldn't do it, but she could imagine what Sawada Yoriko would do after returning to reality alive.

For Muku's safety, she should have acted,

She knew that all of Sawada Yoriko's begging and guarantees had no persuasive power, but thinking about having to kill this classmate who had lived through university days together,

Thinking about having to kill someone,

She hesitated; making her kill someone was really too hard for her.

"It seems her betrayal has a great impact on you."

"Can it not? Four years of classmates, no matter what her purpose was in this dungeon, she actually helped me a lot, I... trusted her so much, and as a result..."

Tengabayashi An sighed deeply.

Actually, Lin Ye could also understand; in a strange and dangerous environment, any normal person would trust someone they were familiar with. He trusted Tengabayashi An also because he knew Tengabayashi An in reality and knew Tengabayashi An's character.

And the relationship between Tengabayashi An and Sawada Yoriko,

The address 'Yi-chan', I'm afraid in reality, Tengabayashi An also addressed Sawada Yoriko like that! This was enough to show their relationship.

It's just a pity that this relationship was one person's wishful thinking and one person's long-term disguise from the beginning.

"I just didn't expect that she had envied me, hated me, and wished I would die from the day we became classmates, but she could hide it for four years, treating me with a happy smile and friendliness every day."

At least Tengabayashi An couldn't do it,

Lin Ye also had to admire Sawada Yoriko; she hated and envied Tengabayashi An, but could pretend for a full four years, getting along and communicating in a friendly way, without showing a single flaw.

"I would never pretend to like or be friendly to someone I hate; I would express my disgust,"

On this point, Lin Ye was very sure; he had experienced it personally.

"It's already in the past,"

Tengabayashi An heard the comfort in Zero's words.

"Thank you," Tengabayashi An thanked him, and bowed to express her gratitude.

"It's nothing," Lin Ye didn't care much.

"Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to clear this eerie game alive,"

She had been saved by Zero a full three times. Three times! How was she to repay this kindness? She suddenly remembered the benefactor she was looking for who saved her from the eerie little boy.

When she was arguing with Lin Ye, she directly promised to marry him, so now this...

Tengabayashi An had a headache all of a sudden.

"I don't know how to thank you."

"Just don't marry me," Lin Ye remembered Tengabayashi An's 'marry me' that night.

Tengabayashi An:???

Why would it be marrying him! Why was it this one. Tengabayashi An widened her eyes, unbelievable.

Hoshino Ai listened and widened her eyes, Lin-kun wouldn't be interested in Tengabayashi An, would he!

Although she also knew Tengabayashi An was a good-looking girl, she must be very beautiful after washing up.

Tengabayashi An pointed to her own cheek, "Do you think I'm good-looking?"

"Isn't it good-looking?"

"Do you know my sister?"

She remembered Lin Ye mentioned 'Muku'.

"Hmm, I know, I actually like her quite a bit." There was no need to deny this; he knew Tengabayashi An would think of this when he said it before.

Tengabayashi An thought for a while.

Based on the brief contact so far, Zero, this veteran player, was impeccable in both strength and character.

If such a person was willing to be with Muku, it would be a great thing! If Muku encountered something eerie in the future, Zero could also help. Having experienced many eerie things, she was also worried about her sister encountering eerie things. Although Zero was in danger, he had strength. In the future, there would only be more and more eerie things in reality. With Zero, her sister would be safer instead.

Compared to that playboy, Tengabayashi An felt this man in front of her was very good. However, the most important thing was to see her sister herself; if her sister wasn't willing, everything would be meaningless. But she felt it was worth a try.

"How about... you try to get in touch with my sister!" Tengabayashi An brushed the hair by her ear and said earnestly.

Lin Ye:???

Get in touch? You mean you want me to fall in love with your sister? Your attitude toward people you hate and people you like is really different.

But this was Tengabayashi An, clear about love and hate.

"I'm serious,"

"You use your sister to repay me for saving your life?"

"Uh, no, not... this isn't,"

Tengabayashi An shook her head repeatedly, "How about this, if you fail to get in touch with my sister and don't succeed, I... I can do it too, let's try!"

She felt a bit embarrassed when she said this.

But recalling Zero's previous request for her to 'go together' and the 'marry me' just now, she felt Lin Ye had ideas about her. She and her sister had the same appearance; if Zero liked her sister, he could like her too, right!

"..."

"Can't you?" Tengabayashi An asked carefully when she saw Lin Ye didn't answer for a long time,

"You wouldn't be willing."

Lin Ye's tone was calm. You wouldn't be willing if you knew who I was.

"I'm willing,"

Tengabayashi An continued, "I'm very willing, seriously."

She noticed the dissatisfaction of the girl beside her; this girl seemed to have a good impression of Zero, but she still continued to look into Zero's eyes.

"You will regret it," Lin Ye repeated again.

"Won't,"

Facing the girl's firm gaze, Lin Ye continued, "You, who hate me, how could you be willing, how could you not regret it!"

"Hmm?"

Tengabayashi An was puzzled.
