Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"call....."

After reading about Xiao Lihua's ten-year experience, Da Lihua took a deep breath.

That guy lived the truly wonderful life he had always dreamed of!

She had been able to use "time reversal" to return to her own world for several years, yet she still did not abandon this world that had nothing to do with her.

In another time and space, she transformed into the free wind, completely sweeping away the gloom of this place, and then returned in triumph. What a magnificent life!

Compared to her own sinful past, she was far too dazzling.

Big Pear Blossom smiled bitterly.

But suddenly!

A terrifying thought flashed through her mind, and her whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning...

No, that's not right.

"She went back ahead of schedule, much faster than I expected!"

In Da Lihua's prediction, Xiao Lihua would need at least several years to return. Even with her own experience in Yin-Yang techniques, reversing time and space was not an easy skill to learn.

But she didn't expect that the time flow rates in the two timelines were different.

Little Pear Blossom had already gone back, but at that time... I hadn't left yet.

This creates a spacetime paradox.

In one time and space, there exist two completely identical people!

Therefore, the world will erase the existence of one of them in order to maintain world stability.

"Was my severe headache back then because the world wanted to erase my existence? Because Little Pear Blossom came back..."

"No! But why am I alright?"

Da Lihua's face was pale, her lips trembling as she stammered, "It's because... a powerful figure in the academy intervened, helping me temporarily resist the power of the world's rules. So, I, who was weaker, wasn't erased; rather, she was wiped from existence by the world!"

Thinking hard.

What does it mean to be erased from existence by the world?

Everything about her will disappear.

Even in other people's memories, this person will be completely forgotten.

She would act as if she had never been born.

"How could this happen... It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"

"No, I have to go back again. I have to tell Chen Nian... They definitely don't know that Lihua has already gone back!"

Da Lihua suddenly unleashed all her magical power.

The ability to see ghosts is activated.

Boom! A hurricane suddenly arose, and the weather changed color.

Forbidden technique: Reversing time and space.

Space was torn apart by a tyrannical force, and the long river of time appeared before our eyes like a sea of ​​stars.

Pear Blossom's long, grayish-white hair fluttered in the wind, the ends gradually turning pure white, making her appear as if she had aged ten years in an instant...

Forbidden techniques, that's why they're forbidden techniques.

Not only is it difficult to launch, but the cost of launching it is also unbearable.

To get back to where she was ten years ago, Da Lihua has tried nearly a hundred times, and this time it was less than an hour since the last time.

Activating forbidden techniques twice in a short period of time places an even greater burden and strain on the body.

But she has to go back!

She had to inform Chen Nian and the others of this news.

To bring this news back, I have to go, even if it costs me another ten years of my life!

Because if I don't tell them... perhaps they will all forget the original Pear Blossom.

"ah!!!!!"

She finally stepped into the river of time once again.

.......

For Chen Nian, Tang Rou, and the others, less than a minute had actually passed.

But a mere minute is enough to forget many things.

Unbeknownst to them, the memories of "Little Pear Blossom" have been erased by the power of the world's rules.

"Boss, I suddenly feel a bit empty inside... like I've forgotten something important."

Tang Rou clutched her chest, a rare hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"I feel the same way."

Chen Nian pondered for a moment and said, "It seems we're waiting for someone to return, but I've forgotten who that person is..."

call--

suddenly.

A strong wind swept away the fallen leaves.

The wind was accompanied by lightning and thunder, causing the surrounding students to gasp in surprise!

"What's going on!"

"Space is distorted... What's happening?"

The dean stood atop the tower, hands behind his back, gazing down through his office window, his expression unreadable.

The academy's strongest members gathered around due to this unexpected turn of events, remaining on high alert.

From the space distorted by the thunder and storm, a staggering figure emerged—it was Da Lihua, who had returned once again using "Reverse Time".

"Old stock!"

Da Lihua rushed to their side, not even bothering to catch her breath.

Her face was pale, and her hair had turned even whiter, as if she had lost the youthful vigor of Aokiji.

"The pear blossoms of your world have returned!"

"The flow of time is different on both sides. I spent ten days here, while she spent ten years there, so she returned to this world not long ago."

"The reason I was erased from the world's scale is because two exactly identical people cannot exist in the same spacetime!"

"Since I'm unharmed, she must have been rejected by the world!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Nian and Tang Rou looked puzzled and confused.

"Excuse me... who are you?"

"Who is Pear Blossom? I don't understand what you're saying."

They had already forgotten the existence of Little Pear Blossom, and according to the cause and effect of the world, without Little Pear Blossom there would be no Big Pear Blossom, so the memory was also erased.

"I am Rika from ten years in the future. There is another, even smaller Rika in this world. Have you all... forgotten?"

Tang Rou and Chen Nian exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

Big Pear Blossom paused for a moment.

Uncontrollably, tears streamed down her face.

"How could this happen...? This shouldn't be happening!"

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... It's my fault..."

She was almost incoherent, her face completely soaked with tears.

Because he didn't belong to this time and space, he still remembered Xiao Lihua's existence, but others had forgotten, including Chen Nian and Tang Rou.

"Wait, don't cry, just tell me slowly."

Although Tang Rou didn't know what had happened, she still gently hugged her and patted her back softly.

After calming down.

She then slowly told Chen Nian and Tang Rou the whole story.

Of course, Chen Nian wasn't stupid. Although he no longer remembered Xiao Lihua, he still understood the logic behind it.

"You mean, because you two were in the same timeline, the world erased her existence, which caused us to lose our memories?"

........

Let's go back to a short time ago.

Little Pear Blossom is back.

Over the past ten years, she has experienced setbacks, made friends, laughed and cried, and has now completely shed her naivety and become a graceful young woman.

In terms of age, she is already about the same age as her older sister, Youcai.

She returned to the very village where she had been teleported away.

"Waaah, I'm finally back."

She strode home; it had been ten years since she had been back, and her heart was overflowing with longing for her family.

Right now, my sister and grandfather are having dinner at home. For them, Pear Blossom has been missing for ten days.

"I wonder where that brat ran off to... Grandpa, don't worry, I've already asked Yang Wei to help look for him, we should find him soon."

Bang! The door was flung open.

Upon seeing the familiar face, Pear Blossom couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

"Waaaaah, sister!"

She pounced on her like a cat and wailed in Youcai's arms.

"I miss you so much, sister. I can't believe you still look so young after ten years, even though you don't know anything about skincare. And Grandpa, it's so good that you're still alive. I was so afraid that when I came back, all I'd be able to do was burn paper money for you QAQ..."

"No, beautiful lady, who are you?"

Youcai blinked in confusion.

"I'm your little sister, Rika! Now you can't spank me anymore, hee hee!"

"You're Pear Blossom? Wait... even if she's on hormones, she couldn't possibly grow this fast."

"Oh, things are complicated. Anyway, I've suddenly grown ten years older. From now on, I'll call you 'older sister,' and you'll call me 'older sister.' We'll each address each other as we please."

The pear blossoms were extremely pleased with themselves.

But just then, a sharp, tearing pain shot through her head.

"Ugh... my head, my head hurts so much..."

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay...? Hey!"

And just like that, Pear Blossom fainted.

She fainted at almost the same time as another Rika from the World Tree Academy.

Because two identical people appeared in this timeline, one of them had to be erased.

Pear Blossom in the academy was protected by the dean, but she was not.

That night, Pear Blossom slept soundly all night.

She didn't wake up from the bed until the next morning, her head still heavy with sleep.

Pear Blossom slowly came outside and saw some people eating breakfast. She pouted and went up to them, saying, "Sister, I'm hungry too! Why isn't there any for me?"

However, Youcai ignored her.

"Sister! Why are you ignoring me? Don't you believe me? But I've grown up now!"

Youcai continued to ignore her, as if she hadn't seen her at all.

Pear Blossom said irritably, "Sister, I'm really powerful now. If your husband bullies you in the future, I'll beat him up for you, and of course, Chen Nian too! Talk to me, okay?"

"......"

Youcai continued eating by herself, without even glancing at her.

At this moment, Pear Blossom finally realized that something was wrong.

She tried to reach out her hand.

But unexpectedly.

My own hand passed through the body containing vegetables.

"H-How could this happen...?"

She tried to hug him.

But then he discovered that his entire body had passed through it.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

Pear Blossom murmured incoherently, unable to comprehend what had happened.

I felt like I had become a completely transparent person.

She left home and went to the street outside, where her neighbor, Granny Wang, was hanging clothes to dry in her yard.

"Grandma Wang! You often give me candy. I'm Pear Blossom, do you remember me?"

Grandma Wang continued hanging the clothes out to dry.

Pear Blossom went to the field and found her grandfather working there. Standing on the muddy path, she shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa, can you see me?"

Grandpa continued to swing the hoe, sweat soaking his back and clothes.

Pear Blossom: ......

She finally understood that no one could hear her or see her anymore.

It seems that I have been "exiled" by this world.

........

For Chen Nian, the logic behind this matter is not difficult to understand.

The difficulty lies in....

He couldn't empathize with the emotions he felt.

Because he has forgotten Lihua and has lost all memories of the two of them knowing each other, how can he empathize with a stranger?

That night, Chen Nian sat alone on a bench by the playground, pondering the matter carefully.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted from beside me.

That's the smell of perfume.

Chen Nian turned his head and was surprised to find An Qingluo sitting next to him, her delicate features illuminated by the soft light of the streetlights.

"Senior An, when did you... arrive?"

"I walked past this spot three times while strolling on the playground, and I thought there was a blind person sitting on the chair, but it turns out they weren't blind!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in An Qingluo's words; it seemed she was still holding a grudge, Chen Nian thought.

"Excuse me, senior, I'm thinking about something very important. I wonder if you could give me some advice?" Chen Nian said politely.

"Is it related to that girl today? Tell me about it."

So Chen Nian told him everything he knew.

An Qingluo frowned: "You mean, she came from the future, and her existence in this world was erased?"

"That's right, this feeling is too vague..."

An Qinglu brushed aside the hair beside her ear, revealing the crystal pendant on her ear: "This earring was a birthday present from my mother. My sister and I each wore one; I wore it on my left ear, and she wore it on her right ear."

"Now that they're all gone, the thought of never seeing them again in the rest of my life fills me with a sense of emptiness, like a piece of me is missing."

"Do you have that feeling?" An Qingluo asked seriously.

"have."

"That's right, she must be someone very important to you. Go find the dean; he's the only one with the authority to speak on matters concerning the rules of the world."

"Thank you, senior. This has enlightened me."

Chen Nian smiled and said, "It's a pity that there's only one such beautiful earring. I'll get you a matching one sometime so we can have a pair."

"Ha, is this how you pick up girls in other worlds?"

An Qingluo stood up: "No need. There will never be another earring exactly the same in the world. Even my creation ability cannot create one, because it has the scent of my mother and sister."

After saying that, she turned and left.

the next morning.

Chen Nian arrived at the dean's office early in the morning.

"Unfortunately, I am not omnipotent. I am powerless to bring back someone who has been erased by the rules of the world."

"Dean, is there any other way?"

"The World Tree is an incarnation, wielding the power of rules; that is your only chance."

"Dean Xie."

Chen Nian immediately went to the World Tree Courtyard and entered the consciousness space of the World Tree's incarnation.

"Hello, I'd like to..."

"No need to say more, child, I already know."

The World Tree's gentle voice echoed in Chen Nian's mind, "Your friend has been banished to the cracks of the world. I cannot reverse the rules to bring her out, but I can send you in."

"Send me in?"
