Rinne IF Route

This was an extra chapter branching off from Chapter 161, where Rinne Sonogami achieved a great and successful victory.

It had no connection to the main storyline.

"Is that so? So I've become someone Huanyue-chan can rely on... I'm so happy." Rinne tilted her head. There was not the slightest trace of disappointment on her face; her warm smile was as radiant as her words.

"Then, does Huanyue-chan wish for it? If the time we have now could continue like this forever—tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, next month..."

Huanyue's gaze wavered.

Going out to have fun every day, having Rinne confess to her every day?

"1. Of course.

2. Absolutely not."

"Choice: 1."

Both choices were undoubtedly tempting. If she had to compare them—

"Perhaps... it could be possible."

That was what Huanyue said. She thought that she did not dislike a world like this. Everyone was still the same as before; they were simply in a place beyond reality.

Rinne was wholeheartedly working to bring everyone happiness. Huanyue could not keep denying her outright. If Rinne had her help, things would surely turn out differently.

Rinne's eyes widened slightly. The words she had prepared in response to rejection all caught in her throat. She seemed especially incredulous, and the corners of her eyes reddened. "Huanyue-chan, you... are you really going to choose me?"

To choose... someone like me.

She had clearly said that happiness in reality was better than happiness in Eden...

Could she really continue being this selfish?

"Mm." Qian Huanyue shifted her gaze and said softly, "I actually like it here too. Since you're so determined to let us find happiness here, I'm willing to try working at it as well. Let's make this place continue without hurting you."

"Let me help you, Rinne."
