I loaded the dream game

"...Then wait for me in the 'past'"

Before my consciousness sank into obscurity, I heard the boy's last whispered words.

"...I will...save you."

……Several.

Chapter 1,086: Meaningless "Future"?

"ah!"

The girl woke up from her sleep, sat up suddenly, and gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling with her breathing.

here it is……?

She looked around in confusion and found herself lying on a deserted mountain meadow.

The surroundings were peaceful, with the occasional rustling of the breeze caressing the leaves and the clear chirping of insects in the woods.

The night sky is full of shining stars, but they are not those disgusting white monsters, but real bright stars filling the sky.

The bright moonlight made the night hazy. The city in the distance was lit up by lights that were brighter than the stars in the sky, like a dazzling combination of starlight.

Quiet, peaceful, yet full of vitality and prosperity...

Just as she saw it when she first came into this world.

"..."

The girl lowered her head and looked at her chest.

As expected, the clothes that were stained with blood had returned to their original state. And underneath, the skin on the chest was smooth and flat, and the original hideous hole had disappeared.

She touched her chest in disbelief, and felt a familiar warmth and softness, without any pain.

...So what just happened was a dream?

She thought confusedly in her heart.

or...

Recalling the last warm hug, the girl's little hand on her chest slowly clenched...

...Has my last wish come true?

"Summer Solstice..."

The girl silently repeated the last name she heard in her heart, raised her head again and looked at the city below, her emerald eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking...

……

After a small mistake, the summer solstice finally arrived at the originally scheduled time.

Unlike the previous situation, since no space-time singularity independent of the timeline has been formed, the barrier of this space-time can be exited by conventional means.

After finishing some routine necessary things, Xia Zhi walked on the crowded street, holding a bunch of snacks in his hands, watching the people coming and going around him with interest.

I didn’t even have breakfast and went straight to have a midnight snack. It felt a bit strange.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, you also do meaningless things."

Tokisaki Kurumi's voice with a hint of sigh came into my mind.

Xia Zhi felt that she might have some misunderstanding about him.

I have done a lot of meaningless things, such as staying in bed in the morning, sleeping in class, and putting off homework until the last day of summer vacation, asking my sister to help me with homework, etc.

Well, in the end there is no causal connection between the two. It was just that Xia Zhi at that time simply saw that Xia Zhi was too idle, so he wanted to find something for her to do and help her prepare for future homework.

"…So, was that considered practicing in advance?"

Tokisaki Kurumi continued to ask in her mind.

After all, he did not take the girl with him when he traveled through time, and it was impossible for Nanashi at this point in time to remember what happened "before".

Those words of comfort and promises of rescue have all become memories for the boy alone.

"..."

Xia Zhi did not refute her words.

Indeed, just as Tokisaki Kurumi said

Whether it was the final comfort and promise, or wasting energy to use the same spiritual power to temporarily serve as a spiritual crystal to support the girl's life.

Looking at it from the current perspective, these things really don’t make any sense.

After all, after returning to the "past", everything is destined to disappear in the changing world line and become a "future" that has never happened.

But Xia Zhi doesn't care about this.

As I said before, he did a lot of meaningless things...

And the reason he did those things was just because he wanted to do so.

In his opinion, "meaning" is a relative concept. It may not make sense to the girl in that future, but as long as it makes sense to himself, it is enough, even if the meaning here is just that he likes it.

Besides...

"Don't you still remember this?" Xia Zhi replied indifferently.

Hearing his words, the Time Elf's voice paused for a moment, and then continued:

"Oh, so those words were said by Mr. Xia Zhi specifically for me to hear?"

"I just wanted to say that there are other people besides me who can witness it."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already late at night.

Why does it feel like every time I go back to the past it’s always night?

"How about teleporting a little earlier next time?"

He suggested in his mind.

It should be said that most situations are not under the control of Tokisaki Kurumi. For example, entering the space-time singularity is something that can only be done with the help of the power of the sacred tree.

But she didn't argue with this, but asked with interest

"Compared to midnight snacks, Mr. Xiazhi prefers breakfast?"

It has nothing to do with this.

It’s just that the first thing I do every time I come back is to find a place to live, which feels a little troublesome.

Xia Zhi thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief.

...Anyway, let’s go find the person who granted amnesty first.

by the way

He lowered his head and looked at the dark red mark on his clothes, which was not very conspicuous.

I need to take a shower and change my clothes first.

……

PS: Here is a picture of Xiao Qi Zui~.

Chapter 1087 The Girl's Doubts

Xia Zhi wanted to take back what he had said before.

I didn't come too late, but too early.

This period of history has also not been interfered with by myself.

According to the original historical trajectory, the heroes and priestesses in this time and space did not recognize each other before their memories were synchronized. It is normal for them to change their mobile phones and residences, right?

Xia Zhi put away the phone in his hand that said "The number you dialed is out of service" and gave up the idea of ​​going to sleep with Jasmine tonight.

Or, just find a girl to spend the night with?

Just when Xia Zhi was hesitating about this matter, Tokisaki Kurumi mistakenly thought that he was worried about something else, and kindly reminded him:

"It's not easy to find the witch lady."

“She can easily conceal her spiritual power even when using angels, and rarely appears in front of others.

...I spent a lot of effort to find her before. "

"Yeah, yeah."

Xia Zhi nodded indifferently and responded.

For him, finding someone was not a difficult task, but he was not ready to look for Seven Sins right now.

After all, unlike the situation of Yui and Miku, according to Tokisaki Kurumi, this is the time when Nanashi has just come to this world, and there is no doubt that she has no place to live.

Even if we find each other now, we still need to find a place to rest and sleep. Otherwise, should we just take each other to a hotel when we meet for the first time?

...It's not impossible, but it always feels weird.

Wait, so...she should be worried about the housing problem just like me?

"that……"

While Xia Zhi was thinking this in his mind, a pair of white sneakers appeared in his sight.

Speaking of which, according to his impression, it seems that high school and middle school girls are more accustomed to this style of sneakers. Xia Zhi also bought a few pairs and kept them at home, but she rarely wore them out. After all, the girl didn't like sports very much, and he didn't know who she learned it from.

Of course, it is also possible that I remembered it wrongly, after all, sneakers actually look similar.

"that……"

The girl's voice brought Xia Zhi back to his distracted thoughts. He raised his head and saw a delicate face with a hesitant expression.

"Are you... Lord Xiazhi?" she asked hesitantly.

Looking at the familiar red-haired girl in front of him, Xia Zhi smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Takashima-san."

Takashima Yuna was obviously relieved and patted her chest: "I was so scared, I thought I recognized the wrong person."

Why do you say that?

Do I have a common face?

There are several black lines hanging on Xiazhi's head.

"Because, isn't it weird that there's a figure sitting on a bench on the side of the road with no street lights in the middle of the night, and there's a bloody smell on his body?"

As Takashima Yuna said this, she sat down next to the boy and took out an energy bar from her pocket and handed it to him.

He could actually smell a faint scent of blood on his body. Should we say that a brave man's senses are a little better than those of ordinary people?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, after taking the energy bar from the girl, he looked at her now in sportswear and asked curiously:

“Are you exercising?”

"Yeah, night run!" Takashima Yuna nodded.

"Aren't the exercise programs in school enough for you to exercise?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

Are all teenage girls so energetic now? When he was still an ordinary person, he was almost exhausted after half a day of physical education class.

"There will always be days when there are more cultural and theoretical classes."

As Takashima Yuna said this, he punched the air twice, looking very motivated.

Then, she turned back to look at the boy and asked curiously:

"Master Xiazhi, what were you worried about just now?"

Obviously, she had seen the scene that Xia Zhi had just pondered.

Xia Zhi did not hide anything and replied, "I can't contact my royal cook anymore."

Takashima Yuna thought about it and quickly responded: "Ah, you mean Jasmine."

After trying hard to recall for a moment, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "...I'm sorry, I don't know where she lives now."

Were you good friends before?
