Chapter 79 (Two in One)(2/3)
Amuro Toru paused for a moment, as if hesitating: "Then...you said before that you like Matsuda Jinpei..."
Furukawa Kumisa:……?
No, is this the point?
To be honest, if Toru Amuro hadn't mentioned it, Kumisa Furukawa would have almost forgotten that he said this.
The system commented: "Scumbag!"
Furukawa Kumisa said confidently: "Who did it?"
The system shrunk back.
She winked at Toru Amuro: "I fell in love with him after breaking up with him."
Toru Amuro: ...Then your tastes are a bit jumpy.
The pseudonyms of Matsuda Jinpei and Akai Shuichi, Okiya Subaru, are not to say exactly the same, but they can also be said to be completely unrelated.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suddenly remembered something, his eyes flashed slightly, and asked: "You and Subaru Okiya...when did you meet?"
Furukawa Kumisa had known that he would ask this question, and she was already prepared: "About half a year ago."
She had already deduced in her mind that in the plot of Red and Black, Shuichi Akai and Reina Mizuna were most likely acting, so his false identity Subaru Okiya must have appeared after that.
According to the real timeline, the plot of Red and Black took place half a year ago.
She added: "We broke up about two months ago."
This also explains why Toru Amuro never knew that such a person existed beside Furukawa Kumisa - after all, he and Furukawa Kumisa had only known each other for more than a month.
As for what happened before that... To a certain extent, the organization manages members' private lives quite loosely. They will not have time to file away everyone's whereabouts, including what they ate today and who they will meet tomorrow.
records, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many undercover agents.
There are no loopholes in her rhetoric.
If she wanted to, she could even ask the system to forge a few records of their "dates", such as amusement park surveillance, movie theater ticket stubs, etc. - She didn't even need the system. She didn't believe the FBI didn't have this ability.
The only trouble now is that if Akai Shuichi's identity is discovered later, she will most likely be implicated.
...Tsk, this is a familiar plot, Shuichi Akai, it’s you again.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
Amuro Toru paused for a moment: "So you told me to stay away from him before."
——I don’t want my friends to know that I have been cheated by a scumbag. For my own face and to stay away from the scumbag, this seems to be a very reasonable explanation.
Furukawa Kumisa had forgotten about this, but Amuro Toru had figured it out on his own first, and she nodded calmly: "Ah, yes."
Toru Amuro rubbed his throbbing forehead: How should I put it... It does make sense, but the most unreasonable point about the whole thing is probably...
Shuichi Akai had just implemented his plan to fake his own death, and then he started flirting with girls with his new vest - looking at Natafi's appearance, he didn't know his identity at all.
...But the same sentence sounds a bit outrageous, but it seems reasonable when I think about what happened to Akai Shuichi.
Toru Amuro was never afraid to speculate the worst about Shuichi Akai.
Toru Amuro cleared up the doubts in his heart, then sighed, pulled Furukawa Kumisa's quilt up a little higher, and said softly: "Go to sleep."
Furukawa Kumisa actually had no idea whether he could properly deceive Bourbon. After all, it was Bourbon.
But fortunately, the other party doesn't know Okiya Subaru's true identity yet. In his opinion, maybe this is an emotional dispute that his subordinates have not dealt with well?
Wait until daytime tomorrow to check the confession with Subaru Okiya, and you should be able to get over it in a short time.
She nodded: "Good night."
"Good night."
...Then Furukawa Kumisa saw that Toru Amuro, who had said "good night" to her, was not moving at all, still sitting by her bed, not showing any signs of leaving.
She was a little confused: "You...won't you go back to your room?"
Toru Amuro shook his head: "You are not in good condition today. I will keep you here just in case."
Furukawa Kumisa: ...just in case? What if Akai Hide comes back in the middle of the night?
She couldn't help but begin to wonder what kind of image Subaru Okiya was in Toru Amuro's mind.
She tried to persuade her a few more times, but Toru Amuro still had no intention of going back to the room, so she could only give up the idea, turned over and closed her eyes.
She definitely couldn't fall asleep, there were too many things happening tonight, and there was Toru Amuro in the room, so she could sleep peacefully and peacefully so that there would be no ghosts.
She finally had time to call out the system and start settling the scores.
The first words of the coward system: "Host, I have good news..."
Furukawa Kumisa interrupted it expressionlessly: "I want to hear the bad news first."
The system spoke almost at the same moment: "Your current favorability total value is 52 points."
Furukawa Kumisa felt her heart bleeding, and she nodded calmly: "Okay, the bad news is that my total number of favorable impressions is only 52 points now. What's the good news?"
System: ...No, this is actually good news.
It thought for a while, then spoke carefully and said vaguely: "Well, there is another news. Shuichi Akai just added 35 points of favorability to you."
Furukawa Kumisa smiled "hehe": "Why, do you still expect me to thank him?...Wait, what?"
She thought of something and said with some uncertainty: "I remember that in the second life, Shuichi Akai's total favorable impression of me was 70, right?"
"right."
"He just added 35 to me?"
"Yes."
"Then the total number exceeds 100, right? That's 105 points of favor."
"Yes, so this is the bad news - the favorability system is probably buggy."
Furukawa Kumisa feels that in just over a month after entering the fifth generation of the world, he has developed a big heart that is invulnerable to fire and water - at least if he heard the news in the past, he would not be as calm as he is now.
.
She just said "Ah" and then closed her mouth.
The system stared for a while, but before she could speak, it weakly said: "...Host?"
"What?"
"...Don't you have anything to say?"
"It sounds a little outrageous, but when I think about it happening to your broken system, everything seems reasonable again."
system:"……"
It tried to defend itself: "That's right, host, I think it might not be a bug..."
Furukawa Kumisa had no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh: "Oh."
System:...The words I had prepared suddenly became unspeakable.
Furukawa Kumisa turned over and saw Toru Amuro, who was leaning on a chair with his eyes closed to relax.
He just sat on the chair, folded his hands on his chest, lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes - just like he said, he was guarding himself in the room.
Furukawa Kumisa's heart moved, "System, what exactly is favorability?"
system:"?"
"I mean... I have experienced so many strategy worlds, but the same favorability seems to be reflected differently in different strategy targets."
She turned back the page and stopped looking at Toru Amuro.
"For example, take Akai Shuichi and Kudo Shinichi, both of them had a favorable impression of 70 points after my death, but judging from their reactions in this world, it is obvious that the depth of their feelings for me is different.
"Akai Shuichi's 70 points are obviously more profound than Kudo Shinichi's 70 points - at least Kudo Shinichi is not as crazy as Akai Shuichi. Although he is also worried about the death of 'my', it is not to the level of Akai Shuichi.
.
"And Akai Shuichi..." Furukawa Kumisa didn't know how to describe it, "I even suspected that he was a little crazy, and for those who didn't know, I thought he had a 100% favorable impression of me. Speaking of which, Akai Shuichi's reaction was more favorable than full favor.
Matsuda Jinpei seems to be a little bigger."
Furukawa Kumisa's question was a bit confusing, but the system understood what she meant.
"Host, have you ever thought that favorability is not an 'absolute' concept, but a 'relative' concept?"
"The concept of 'relative'?"
"Let's put it this way, for example, a person with 1,000 yuan in assets and a person with 100 million yuan in assets spend 1,000 yuan at the same time, which means different things to them.
"This thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket owned by the latter, but it is the entire net worth of the former."
Furukawa Kumisa somewhat understood: "You mean, everyone's expression of 'favorability' is different?"
"It's like this. Putting aside the Gin in the first world, let's compare Akai Shuichi in the second world and Matsuda Jinpei in the third world - you should also feel it when you conquer them.
Now, it’s not difficult to raise Akai Shuichi’s favorability level, but the ‘upper limit’ in this world is very low.”
After being reminded by the system, Furukawa Kumisa also remembered that in the second world, Akai Shuichi's favorability was actually very easy to increase - of course, it was still worse than the current state where even seeing her breathing can increase his favorability.
