I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi was about to answer when he suddenly remembered something.

For me, the first time I met Kurumi was also on the roof.

"..."

He took a deep breath, looked into the girl's eyes, and invited her.

"Are you interested in saving the world with me?"

.......

Chapter 1,360: Is it necessary to talk so much about principles just for a date?

Speaking of which, Xia Zhi remembered that he seemed to have never confirmed with Tokisaki Kurumi how long it took between the time when her original body separated from her and stayed in this world and the time when she met him.

Considering that the other elves besides Origami came to this world, it seems that they are all not too far away from becoming elves.

It is reasonable to speculate that when Tokisaki Kurumi first came into this world, she was just a high school girl in her teens, right?

Even for the same person, different pasts and experiences can lead to different personalities.

This has been proven in both Origami and Natsuori's cases.

The longer the time interval, the more obvious the difference in personality will be... People generally call this difference that appears over time change - or growth.

So, what kind of personality does Tokisaki Kurumi, who I am facing at this moment, have?

"...Pfft."

The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't laugh." Xia Zhi gave her a reproachful look.

I said this very seriously.

Tokisaki Kurumi didn't restrain herself at all when she heard that, instead she laughed even more happily.

After a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief and put away the smile on her face.

"Don't you think it's weird? Inviting someone to save the world right away."

It's really strange, but it's not the first time I've experienced something like this.

For example, when you first meet someone, you are dragged to explore the truth of the world, or a deal is made at the cost of your body...

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, looked into her eyes and said, "There are many beautiful things in life, and there are many beautiful things in this world. Don't you think it would be a pity if you don't experience them?"

What is he talking about?

Tokisaki Kurumi frowned slightly, somewhat confused.

But after thinking for a moment, she quickly reacted.

“…I wasn’t thinking about committing suicide just now.”

"I know." Xia Zhi nodded.

So-called suicide is when a person chooses to end his or her life prematurely for various reasons before his or her life comes to an end.

The girl was just standing on the edge of the rooftop, thinking, and had no intention of jumping down... In fact, even if she jumped down, the school building, which was only three stories high, would not cause her any fatal harm.

only……

"This world is about to end. With the arrival of the final moment, the people in this world will inevitably reach the end of their lives ahead of time... It's no different from being about to die, right?" Xia Zhi continued.

Tokisaki Kurumi thought about it and agreed that this was the case.

But they were just forced to end their lives, it has nothing to do with suicide, right?

"If you can choose to do something to save the world, but don't do it, then that's the same as not saving yourself, isn't it?"

Xia Zhi gave his final conclusion.

"..."

The girl fell into a brief silence.

"You are really good at twisting logic."

After taking a deep breath, Tokisaki Kurumi also gave him a summary.

Judging from the standards of a first meeting, it is quite rude to comment on other people's words as "wrong ideas" right away.

However, from the girl's smile just now, it can be seen that she is not the type of person who would care about such things, so Xia Zhi did not care about it.

“Having said that, but the premise of not giving up on saving yourself is that you can do something to save the world, right?” The girl asked, holding a black parasol and tilting her head slightly.

The world cannot be saved.

This is a fact that she has already confirmed while living in this world.

After all, the current situation is the best result they could have achieved.

Including themselves in this time and space, they are already dead compared to the "outside world". In the end, they have never been saved.

If it cannot be saved in the first place, there is no point in talking about giving up.

· ·········Request flowers····· ··

but……

"You've already succeeded once, right?" Xia Zhi's words interrupted her thoughts, making her stunned for a moment.

"Isn't the world today the result of what you once saved?" Xia Zhi continued, not paying attention to the girl's daze.

On the bench in the park, Tokisaki Kurumi once told him that she had opened the space-time barrier at the cost of devouring all the remaining time of the people in the barrier. She was the evil person who took the lives of those people, so her actions could not be called saving people at all.

Xia Zhi doesn't think so.

If it weren't for her efforts, this world would have been destroyed three hundred years ago.

........ ..... .......

It was she who gave those people who should have been wiped out of the destroyed world line a chance to survive again and even return to normal life.

Although it can only exist for a limited time, it does indeed prolong their lives.

If ending a life prematurely that has not yet reached its end is suicide, then continuing the life of a person who should have ended long ago can undoubtedly be called salvation, right?

"You've saved the world more than once."

Xia Zhi reached out to her

"...Now, do you want to try to come with me and save the world once again?"

Just like you used to do

After a pause, Xia Zhi recalled Lily's excuse for "requisitioning" him, and gave her a reason considerately:

"You don't have anything to do right now anyway, do you?"

The girl fell silent.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

After a long time, she smiled, took a deep breath, looked at the boy and asked:

"So, in order to save the world, what are you going to do?"

So, does that mean you agree?

As for what needs to be done specifically

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied:

"Would you like to go on a date with me, Miss Kurumi?"

……pill.

Chapter 1361: They in the Past

My brain is a little overheated.

I hadn't originally planned on talking about these things... Talking to a girl about saving the world on the rooftop doesn't seem romantic no matter how you think about it, right?

From a third party's perspective, they might think I'm suffering from chuunibyou, but I'm glad they don't think that way.

Now that I think about it, an ordinary opening remark is much more normal than saying a bunch of incomprehensible words.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Yuanzi sent him a message.

"That Natsuchi-nii just now was very handsome!"

Thank you for your encouragement.

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Xia Zhi glanced at the elf girl who was following him with an umbrella, looking at the scenery on both sides of the street with interest.

In the name of saving the world, he invited the girl on a date.

"What does dating have to do with saving the world?"

If it were a normal person, he would usually ask back like this: "857".

However, she was only stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, she was just curious about the fact that I invited her to save the world, and did not refuse.

Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

...Could it be that at this stage, she is the type of person who will agree to any request?

"Miss Kuang San." He tried calling the girl.

Tokisaki Kurumi responded with a nasal "hmm".

"Can we hold hands?"

"Don't push your luck."

It doesn't look like it.

Xia Zhi thought with some regret and put away some of his bolder ideas.

"…So, have you decided?"

Tokisaki Kurumi finally withdrew her gaze, looked at him and asked.

What to decide?

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his reaction, the girl sighed helplessly.

"You were the one who invited me out, weren't you?"

She gently turned her parasol and reminded him in a nonchalant tone, "Although I don't mind, but... is it really okay to just wander around the street like this?"

Xia Zhi realized that she was asking about the date location.

That's true. Although two people in love will not feel bored even if they are just walking on the street and will always have endless topics to talk about, it is obvious that they are not in that kind of relationship now.

Besides, even if it’s between real lovers, no one would choose the main street for the first date, right?

...So, where should we go on a date? Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

It seems a little late to think about this matter now. Thinking back carefully, he remembered that Sonoko and the others seemed to have discussed some locations before, but unfortunately he was distracted at that time and didn't remember them at all.

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi looked at the girl and asked:

"Did you have lunch?"

……

Compared with the previous times of time travel, although it is also going back to the past, this time it is only two years away from the original time and space, and the changes in either the roads or the buildings are not very big.

Xia Zhi brought Tokisaki Kurumi to the familiar shopping mall.

You don't necessarily have to go shopping when you come to a mall, and the purpose of coming here is not just to eat. Generally, there are restaurants, video game stores, cinemas, karaoke, etc. in the mall. It can be said to be a large-scale comprehensive entertainment center, which is perfect as a date location.

But now, let’s take care of lunch first.

Which restaurant do you want to go to?

Just when Xia Zhi wanted to ask the girl, he turned around and saw that she had stopped at some point and was standing in front of a glass tank, looking at the various small fish swimming in it.
