Chapter 86
Everyone's memory has been wiped.
Bai Lu was erased from their lives, as if they had never appeared before, and each other became inseparable parallel lines.
That's how it should be.
However, she never expected...
The teenagers in their own world all received the memories of the parallel world at that moment, and had a long dream.
The butterfly effect is unavoidable. The result of forceful erasure is transfer. In order to achieve the balance of the world, one party must keep these things.
Therefore, that's why she is sitting here with some two people!
This moment.
Tokyo, a deserted cafe.
No... the time may have to be pushed forward a little bit.
After Bai Lu returned to her own world, as she wished, she embarked on a journey with her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and came to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
"Lu Lu, Dad is going to a meeting later, is it okay for you to be alone?"
"No problem, I'm not young anymore."
"Don't forget to turn on your phone, call Dad if you need something."
"Hmm, bye~"
The girl waved her hand, watching the handsome middle-aged man leave the hotel with a briefcase, turned over and hugged the quilt tightly, alas, how miss it...
Even in the game, she may not have seen her father for a long time.
No, I'm back, it's better not to think about things in the game all the time, Bai Lu should gradually get rid of the shadow brought by that parallel world.
Turning on the phone and flipping through the map, she is now in a three-star hotel near Shibuya, and it only takes more than 10 minutes to go to Akihabara in Chiyoda District by car.
That's right.
The night before the time-traveling, she made an appointment with her father to accompany him on a business trip. Bai Lu has always wanted to visit Akihabara. She heard that a game exhibition will be held near the Electric City. She is very interested in a business simulation game that will be released soon.
Tickets for the Shinkansen are very expensive, and you have to go through procedures for refunds. Now that you’re back, let’s go and have a look.
...Although she no longer wants to play any business simulation games.
Came to Akihabara alone by train, Bai Lu yawned, feeling the chill in the air, while looking for the address of the game exhibition, while looking at the surrounding environment.
Hurried crowds passed by me, the huge electrical city was lined with high-rise buildings, colorful billboards were hung on the big screen, and the glare of the sun formed light pollution under the reflection of the glass.
Along the way, many people were attracted by her face, secretly glanced over...
It's almost the same as in the game, but there are some differences.
Really, with a lot of emotion.
Bai Lu felt inexplicably sad, stopped thinking too much, lowered his head and looked at the navigation on his phone, turned left and right, and finally found the entrance of the game exhibition.
However, the moment he raised his head——
She found two teenagers who were too familiar.
The boy standing on the left is not tall, with his hands lazily put in his pockets, he seems very cold, half-dyed short blond hair is tied around his neck, his delicate cheeks are half covered by a beige plush scarf, and his amber eyesStaring sleepily ahead.
The black-haired boy standing next to him is tall and slender, with disheveled hair but no loss of character. He has a handsome appearance, and unexpectedly has serious eyes under his rebellious appearance. He seems to be silently looking for the entrance of the exhibition, "HeyGrinding, the one you said..."
His words stopped abruptly.
The moment they saw Bai Lu standing opposite them clearly and met her eyes, the two boys shrank their pupils slightly.
...
There is only cold wind blowing in the air.
The three looked at each other in a brief silence.
Crazy told herself in her heart that she had returned, that even if these teenagers existed, they shouldn't know her, and their memories were all erased.
Bai Lu was the first to come back to his senses, looked away as if nothing had happened, and silently turned around to leave here.
Nothing.
"Heron...?"
She was stopped by the boy behind her.
At this moment, a cafe with few people in Tokyo.
The girl sat awkwardly on the stool, and there were three drinks on the table. There was nothing else, only the continuous heating provided by the coffee shop relieved the surrounding cold.
Even if she didn't want to pretend to know each other, she had to admit that the two guys opposite her really knew her.
"That is to say..."
"One of you is in the third year of high school, and the other is in college. You received all the memories about me in your mind this morning?"
Bai Lu pursed the corners of his mouth and looked at the teenagers sitting across from him in disbelief, his pretty eyebrows almost frowning together.
"Um."
Lone Claw made a faint grinding sound, lowered his amber eyes like glass beads, staring at the cup in his palm.
"It doesn't count as... receiving."
"Those experiences are all my own experience, including Lu Lu's suspension of high school."
"Eh?"
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Suspending school in the first year of high school? What do you mean?"
Didn't she only stop school in the third year of junior high school? In the game, the timeline of becoming a high school was directly skipped, and the beginning was Karasaka's whole life.
Speaking of which, the girl never thought about what would happen to the other world after going back.
"ha……"
Black Tail Tetsuro raised his hand, covered his forehead and exhaled, the fragmented Liuhai/bangs were pushed up a little bit, and his handsome cheek looked at Bai Lu indescribably: "You... the third semester of the first year of high schoolDropped from school, Lulu."
"After Wu Ye entered the national competition for the first time and won Shiratorizawa."
The boy's voice was very silent, as if he was holding back some emotions.
"Nothing has been heard from since then again."
"I asked Xiangyang at that time..." Gu Claw who was sitting next to him had a muffled voice, and gave the girl a weak look: "He said you fainted again after the party."
"I was picked up by my family and taken to treatment, and I haven't heard from him since."
Bai Lu: "..."
And she is now a senior in high school.
Rather, she was 18 years old from beginning to end, an age that had just come of age, the same level as Lone Claw Grinder sitting in front of her, and one year younger than Black Tail Tie Lang.
Unknowingly, my mind recalled when I first played the game, I remembered the very beginning, Bai Lu and Lone Claw were also students in the same grade, and they even sat at the same table in the same class.
If Momo is a third year of high school, then Xiangyang and the others are sophomores, and Sawamura and Sugawara-senpai should have graduated.
"I didn't expect that I could personally feel the 'truth' you mentioned, Lulu."
Black Tail Tetsuro, who was sitting opposite, twitched the corner of his mouth. His tone seemed to be very emotional, but it lacked the usual relaxation, pulling the girl back to reality: "The game is really real."
"..."
"Lulu...he didn't forget me when he came back."
Lone Claw stared quietly at the girl with grinding eyes, and his plain tone revealed a little difference in the quietness: "Very happy."
"Hey, why are you talking like you know something, Grinding?"
"...I almost guessed it." The boy with half-dyed blond hair silently looked away.
"Little black is the one. At the time of co-sleeping, he took Lulu to sneak into the corner."
"I...didn't do anything at that time." Black Tail Tetsuro opened his mouth, and he seemed to feel sad when he mentioned this.yes."
"You stayed during the first sleepover, you definitely did something to Lu Lu."
"…………No."
"Done."
"…No."
"Done."
...
Watching the two boys arguing about something he hadn't done himself but in another world, Bai Lu picked up the coffee with a headache and refreshed himself.
The slightly bitter coffee poured into the throat, spreading a faint sweet taste in the mouth.
Seeing the two people stop, she also stood up.
The long pear-colored hair loosely tucked into the scarf hangs down with the movement, and the beautiful cheeks are covered by Liuhai/bangs. The girl bends down deeply, and her five fingers are resting on both sides of her thighs: "In short."
"I'm really sorry."
"..."
The cafe suddenly fell into silence.
After a long while, she raised her head, only to see the two boys facing each other with faint smiles on their faces.
Relieved, inclusive...
And all kinds of emotions that can't be understood or explained.
This smile contained too much and was too deep. It was quietly shattered in the warm air, and finally relaxed the shoulders that had always felt heavy and were about to be crushed by the boulder.
Bai Lu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and also showed a relieved, sweet smile.
"Lulu, stop here, I'll take you back."
Black Tail Tetsuro looked at the crowded subway entrance, her tall body helped her block the crowd of some people, and her reliable and calm manners reminded the girl of when she took the Otokoma line.
If you really want to say, this guy is really like a humorous, slightly cunning, but well-measured brother next door.
The kind who deliberately pretended to be a little stable in front of her.
The two of them have now left the coffee shop and came to the noisy subway entrance. Lone Claw Grinding is not there, so there is no way...
That guy came here when he found time, and there was volleyball training in the afternoon, so of course he had to set an example as a senior in high school, and he would be nagged by Little Black and Lev when he was late.
So, he reluctantly went back early.
As a qualified college student, Heiwei Tielang has a lot of free time during his vacation, so he naturally doesn't have to be as tight as poor Faxiao.
"...Yes, Senior Kurotail."
Bai Lu looked up at the tall slender boy next to him, and said silently: "Actually, you don't need to send me off. This place is not far from Shibuya, and you can go back in 10 minutes."
"I want to watch you go back."
Surprisingly, Black Tail Tetsuro lowered his eyes, his eyes were always full of evil and serious, his Adam's apple rolled, and his low voice seldom rang directly in his ears: "Are you okay?"
"…Um."
Bai Lu had no choice but to agree, and let him follow her on the subway with a little complexity.
On the way back, neither of them spoke.
The subway was very crowded and there were no seats in the carriages. Anyway, it was only about 10 minutes. The girl politely refused many passers-by who wanted to give up her seat.
It wasn't until he got off the subway that Black Tail Tetsuro scratched his hair: "It's still so popular."
It was obviously a sigh of relief, but it sounded a little sour.
Bai Lu didn't speak.
They walked quietly down the street, weaving their way through the crowds and down the narrow sidewalks, before finally stopping just as they were about to reach the hotel.
The cold winter wind swept the air-conditioning and whistled on the street, the sky could not be seen clearly in the vast white sky, and the sound of quiet footsteps surrounded the two of them. Unknowingly, there seemed to be scattered light snowdrops in the sky above.
Finally, the moment he stood firm in front of the empty store, the tall black-haired boy spoke.
"Heron."
His emotional voice melted into the girl's ears along with the wind, causing ripples.
"I like you."
...
I have heard the confession more than once, and it is repeated again in the mouth of Black Tail Tetsuro.
But this logical and natural confession also contains a tenacity that has never been seen before, and has precipitated all emotions.
There were already white snowflakes falling lightly in the air, falling on the feet of the two of them, melting into inconspicuous water stains.
Bai Lu sighed softly, and slowly turned around to look at him.
"Even after all this?"
Her inquiry was not coldly rejected.
Black Tail Tetsuro grinned, his eyes full of helplessness and earnestness: "Even after going through all this."
"I am very happy and grateful to see you again."
"So I want to say it again to you in this world, I will never change my mind."
The boy's voice was bitter.
"Even if it's fruitless."
