Day 63: Love Letter Part 1 (Part 20)
"So you've decided, huh?" Ryugai smiled happily. "Yeah .., great. The right choice."
"Good bye." Yuukaru stood up, then slowly shifted his left hand towards the right. A system window appeared in front of him, displaying a large-scale writing 'LOG OUT.' Ryugai tried to keep looking calm. Even so, in fact, his heart was currently turbulent and filled with sadness.
"Why?"
"I advised him to go back to the real world ...."
"But what is this feeling?"
"I feel like I want to .., continue with him here, looking at the stars. I don't want this night to end and I don't want her to leave my side."
"Maybe ..., what my friends at the academy said is true? Maybe this feeling is called love."
"But, it's too late to reveal it now. This world is just a dream world. An unoriginal fake world. Everything here is just a data set, and it's going to reset to zero."
"If I were to express this love now, it would only be a block of iron weighing down his heart. He will live his life full of sadness and loss. I don't want that to happen. So, I guess it's better if I don't state it."
"Hey, Ryugai."
"Yes?"
"What after this, we'll still be able to meet again?"
"Yeahh .., I don't know ..," Ryugai said. "It all depends on fate and luck. The path of destiny is one filled with mystery. We can not guess or predict it because we are just ordinary people, not time travelers who can at will go to the past and future. But, I'm sure .. that as long as we still believe that we will meet again, then that which sounds impossible will be possible."
"Oh, yeah ...."
"Ah, there happens to be a shooting star!!" yuukaru exclaimed as he pointed at the trajectory of the light that crossed the deep blue night sky. The girl turned towards Ryugai. "Ryugai, how about we make that request now to the Gods?"
"Stupid, how could God hear it if we put it up in a virtual world like this." Ryugai chuckled amusedly. "Wait, but it's fine, too" he continued, rushing to his feet from his chair. "If it is true that God watches over every human being in the entire world, then He also watches over this virtual world. It's possible that our request will be granted."
"We start? 1 ..., 2 ..., 3 ...."
""We want to ....""
""We can meet again!!!""
"Now, my doubts about leaving this world are gone." Yuukaru turned his head back towards Ryugai. The index finger of his right hand is ready to press the 'LOG OUT.' button.'
"Hey, if you're honest, even if it's only been a short time, I'm glad to be your friend. I hope we'll keep remembering each other forever."
"Yes, yeah, whatever." Ryugai scratched his ears with his little finger while trying to hide his sadness. "Don't be so dramatic, dong. You think this is in anime sad?"
"Then, goodbye. Thanks for everything, Ryugai."
Before Yuukaru's index finger could touch the button on the system window, Ryugai called out his name, making the young golden-haired girl of his shoulder turn back.
"Part yourself there. Don't be a NEET. I'll be coming to the real world. Just watch out later if when we meet again you live in disarray."
"Yes," Yuukaru said with a sweet smile etched into the face. "That's sure. You too, yeah ...."
Right after, Yuukaru's index finger touched the 'LOG OUT.' button.' Its body structure began to fade and eventually disappeared completely, leaving only gold-colored light dust flying in the air and slowly ascending into the dark sky. Until the last second, he kept that smile.
"Finally go too, yes, that troublesome girl. Now I can live quietly. He also does not need to suffer anymore" Ryugai said.
"But somehow ...."
"My heart feels empty and filled with sadness ...."
"Yes, the problem is over. It's time to go to bed. Masa' I didn't sleep all night, anyway. Tomorrow if I have misfortune and late to the academy can be traced Otomura and punished to stand in the hallway. But, I don't think the school's restarted yet because there's been no announcement."
Ryugai then prepared to leave the bench and return to his room, but at that moment his eyes caught something. A piece of paper held back by a stone lay where Yuukaru had been sitting.
"Hm?" Both his eyebrows are linked. "A letter?"
