Shirou's clones number 30 million

"I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense."

Seeing this, Tachibana Shirou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems like nothing bad is going to happen in the future.

However, she traveled all the way to Tokyo to see me in the future, but left with a sad face. If people knew, they might think I was a heartless person.

"Although we are complete strangers, it is fate that we met. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a meal and then take you to see some of the nearby attractions."

"So, it wasn't a wasted trip."

"This……"

Miyamizu Mitsuha hesitated, wanting to agree but worried that the butterfly effect would cause that important memory to disappear.

It should be fine if we just travel and don't discuss anything about the future, right?

"Um, could I invite Nishimiya-kun to come along?"

"Nishimiya? I'm not very familiar with her, and I don't know if I can ask her out. I remember Nishimiya lives over there, let's go and try."

"Isn't Tachibana-kun not close to Nishimiya-san? How do you know where she lives?"

"I am the class monitor. When I was helping the teacher organize the student roster, I made a point of writing down the addresses of some problem students, thinking that they might come in handy."

So, in his eyes now, Nishimiya is also one of the problem students.

While passing by a park, Shirou Tachibana noticed a girl wearing his school uniform being surrounded by several elementary school boys, and immediately ran over.

As they drew closer, they soon heard some unrestrained laughter.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Upon noticing Tachibana Shirou approaching, the elementary school boys turned around, made a face, and scattered.

Shirou didn't stop and immediately chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had been abandoned, stood by the park and met the gaze of Nishimiya Shoko, who was sitting on a swing in a daze.

"Why did Tachibana-kun chase after him? Shouldn't he be comforting Nishimiya at a time like this? Honestly..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha sighed and slowly walked towards Nishimiya Shoko.

"Hello, Nishimiya-san, I am Miyamizu Mitsuha."

Realizing she hadn't heard, Miyamizu Mitsuha thought for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and loudly repeated what she had just said.

This time, Nishimiya Shoko not only heard the sound, but was also startled, her body trembled involuntarily, and she almost fell off the swing.

Miyamizu Mitsuha quickly helped her up and then sat down next to her.

Nishimiya Shoko felt a little panicked, but she maintained her usual smile, took out paper and pen, and wrote on it:

[Hello, Miyamizu-senpai, do you know me?]

Miyamizu Mitsuha took the paper and pen and replied:

"I'm Tachibana-kun's friend, and we came together to invite you to go shopping. By the way, you should know Tachibana-kun, right? He's the guy who chased after you earlier."

Thank you, but inviting me would only spoil your fun.

"Not at all! On the contrary, it's more lively with more people. If it's just me and Tachibana-kun, we'll run out of things to say."

About ten minutes later, Tachibana Shirou returned to the park.

Behind him were the same elementary school boys from before.

This scene left Miyamizu Mitsuha speechless.

Is Tachibana-kun really this serious? In the situation just now, he wouldn't normally run after someone to bring them back, right?

"Let's begin."

After Tachibana Shirou finished speaking, several dejected elementary school students slowly walked to Nishimiya Shoko, lined up in a row, and shouted in unison:

"I'm sorry, Sister Nishimiya."

Nishimiya Shoko stared blankly at the group, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Tachibana Shirou spoke again:

"Your voice was too soft, she didn't hear you. Do it again!"

"I'm so sorry!! Sister Nishimiya."

This time, the shout was very loud, causing Nishimiya Shoko to stand up in a flustered manner, waving her hands repeatedly:

"No, there's no need to apologize..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha looked back and forth at the group, seemingly lost in thought.

So that's how it is. The reason for bringing them back was to solve the problem once and for all?

Nishimiya Shoko lives nearby, and these children are probably from the neighborhood as well. If we just chase them away, something similar will definitely happen again next time.

But if we bring them back and make them apologize, this kind of thing should never happen again.

As expected of Tachibana-kun, he is both serious and meticulous.

If it were me, I probably would have just chased them away.

Chapter 253 The Moment My Heart Fluttered

Chapter 253, Section 254: The Moment My Heart Fluttered

"what……?"

Three years later, Tachibana Shirou, who was having dinner, suddenly rubbed his forehead.

In that brief moment, some memories suddenly flooded his mind.

Over the past three years, all my experiences have deviated slightly from my memories and become somewhat different.

The two different memories intertwined, leaving him somewhat confused. It took him a while to come to his senses.

"Did Mitsuha Miyamizu come to Tokyo to see me? Fortunately, I had some sense three years ago and didn't pry into things, otherwise I would have had a headache for a long time."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Shirou got up and walked to the entrance hall. He opened the door and froze on the spot.

Outside the door, Miyamizu Mitsuha was staring straight at her.

At this moment, she looks a little more mature than she did when I first met her.

"Good evening, Tachibana-kun. Actually, I've wanted to visit you for a long time."

"But the time hasn't come yet, so we can only silently endure it."

"A couple of days ago, I felt like the time was almost up, but I was busy with club activities and couldn't find the time to come see you."

"This afternoon, as soon as I finished my club business, I came to see you immediately."

"It's been three years, how have you been?"

Shirou quickly recovered and welcomed her into his living room, saying with a smile:

"Long time no see. Even so, you should know what's going on here, right?"

"Yes, yes, I've been keeping an eye on Tachibana-kun in secret. And, in places where Tachibana-kun can't see, Nishimiya and I have become very good friends."

Miyamizu Mitsuha glanced at the single-serving bowl and chopsticks on the table and subconsciously asked:

Are your aunt and uncle not home?

"Dad is away on a business trip, and Mom is on night shift tonight."

"It seems like Tachibana-kun cooked a lot of food. He probably wouldn't mind having an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl, right?"

"no problem."

After getting her a new set of chopsticks and a bowl, Shirou sat down in his original seat.

"I really miss it. Both Tachibana-kun and the buildings here are exactly the same as I remember."

"For me, it's only been a few days, so there's definitely no way things could have changed much."

Shirou paused for a moment, then asked again:

"Judging from your tone just now, have you moved to Tokyo now?"

"Yes, I'm a sophomore now."

Miyamizu Mitsuha tasted a side dish on the table and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Is Tachibana-kun's cooking really that good? It's such a waste to eat it all by himself."

"Thank you, it's just home-style cooking."

"Tachibana-kun is too modest! I am also very good at cooking, but the food I make is not as delicious as Tachibana-kun's at all."

"You just said that you and Nishimiya became very good friends. When did this happen? I had no idea."

"Because I deliberately hid it from Tachibana-kun, Nishimiya has never met me, and that brief contact was all with Tachibana-kun's body. So, it has nothing to do with knowing her."

It turned out to be the case.

"Since you came all this way to see me, it means we probably won't be switching bodies anymore in the future."

"Huh...? This sounds like you're saying that switching bodies is my ability."

"That's exactly right."

"Oh... If only that were true, I would want to exchange memories with my future self and see how my future life is going."

Miyamizu Mitsuha naturally assumed that Shirou was joking and joined in the laughter.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be happy in the future."

"Huh...!? Can Tachibana-kun foresee the future?"

"No, I don't have such amazing abilities."
