Time has already been rewound. Even if time returns to 19:15, what happened before the rewind will not happen again, right?
If nothing can be changed, then wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back?
"Can we wait a little longer?"
"Of course, no problem."
Akiyama Mio nodded in agreement after a brief moment's thought about Kira Yoshikage's request.
After all, it was Kira who saved them, so they would do anything he asked.
"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Since Akiyama Mio was being so cooperative, Kira Yoshikage didn't mind answering some of her questions.
But before Akiyama Mio could ask, Kira Yoshikage had already offered an explanation:
"Killer Queen is my stand-in; you can think of it as a special kind of superpower."
"Although the Killer Queen can turn back time, it comes at a price and has a strict limit on the number of times. If you fail to save yourself and others within three rewinds, you will still die, because time rewind cannot change predetermined fate."
"Then we..."
Akiyama Mio's face turned pale. So, wouldn't they still die at 8 o'clock?
"Except for the one time I used it voluntarily."
Kira Yoshikage noticed her fear and said softly:
“简单来讲,第一次回溯是从8:08回到7:08。因为是我主动使用能力,所以从7:08到8:08的这一个小时已经被改变,即便原本会发生的事情也不会再发生。
“第二次回溯是你从7:15回到6:15,由于这一次回溯是被动发生的。所以从6:15到7:15这期间发生的事情,必定会再次发生。”
Yoshikage Kira picked up the empty coffee cup from the table:
“如果这个杯子会在7:07摔碎,那即便你在7:15将时间回溯至6:15。如果不加干涉,这个杯子依旧会在7:07摔碎。
"The same logic applies to people who died at 7:10. Even if you trace back to the past, they will still die at 7:10."
Akiyama Mio immediately understood:
"So those people who exploded at the livehouse will explode again at 7:15?"
"Correct."
Kira Yoshikage nodded slightly, "You understand very quickly."
"But……"
Akiyama Mio frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease for some reason, but unable to pinpoint exactly what it was.
But soon, she seemed to think of something and blurted out:
"If what happened during the rewind period is 'inevitable' to happen, then it shouldn't only be the people who died during that period who die, right? Just like we were supposed to enter that livehouse at 7:00, doesn't that mean I'll still be there when the explosion happens? But I'm right here right now!"
"That's why I said it was without interference."
As Yoshikage Kira spoke, he suddenly threw the cup in his hand at Mio Akiyama.
"what!"
Akiyama Mio exclaimed in surprise and instinctively caught the cup to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Yoshikage Kira continued to explain:
"This cup was supposed to break at 7:07, but because you caught it, it didn't break."
Akiyama Mio subconsciously asked:
"Has fate been changed?"
But she quickly recalled what Yoshikage Kira had said: "Time travel cannot change predetermined fate; what has happened will happen again." A guess that was closer to the truth flashed through her mind, and her expression became somewhat hesitant:
Has fate been 'postponed'?
"Correct."
Kira Yoshikage nodded slightly and extended his hand to the girl, gesturing for Akiyama Mio to hand him the cup.
Then, Yoshikage Kira released his grip, letting the cup fall freely.
This time, however, no one interfered.
With a crash, the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"It didn't break at 7:07, but it will still break at 7:08. What has already happened will happen, but human intervention can delay the 'cup breaking' event."
"Of course, you can also make the event happen earlier, for example, you can deliberately break the cup at 7:06. In this way, the cup that has already been broken cannot be broken twice."
"And the only one who can interfere with fate and postpone or bring forward events is the one who knows that time has been reversed, which is you."
"so."
Akiyama Mio quickly understood and began to analyze the situation carefully. "We were originally going to enter that livehouse at 7:00, but because of my interference, the event of 'appearing at the livehouse' was delayed. We will still enter that livehouse, but not at 7:00."
"Correct."
Yoshikage Kira nodded. "But it will only last until 7:15, because I will deactivate the bomb then. When the bomb is deactivated, even the fate that was going to happen will be changed, and you will not need to go into that livehouse again."
Akiyama Mio breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.
However, Kira-kun insisted on defusing the bomb at 7:15, probably to ensure that the 'people' in the livehouse were killed by the explosion?
No, although her vision was blurry at the time, she could vaguely discern the changes that had occurred at the livehouse.
One thing she was certain of: those people were definitely not human!
Akiyama Mio asked cautiously:
"Kira-kun, are there ghosts in this world?"
"Have."
Yoshikage Kira gave an affirmative answer, "But most people call them 'spirits.' There are benevolent spirits, but there are more evil spirits. Some people also call them vengeful spirits or cursed spirits. Correspondingly, people with special abilities also exist. I call them psychics, but some people consider themselves sorcerers or onmyoji."
"So the 'people' in that livehouse were actually all evil spirits?"
"It should be."
"why?"
"Why what?"
Why did they turn into ghosts?
"I do not know."
"Huh?" Akiyama Mio blinked.
Yoshikage Kira slowly raised one finger:
"First, let's clarify one fact."
"I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent."
"It's not that I can always give you an answer just because you ask me."
"..."
Akiyama Mio blushed slightly. For a moment, she did indeed think that Kira Yoshikage was an omniscient and omnipotent god!
However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is actually a false proposition, much like a classic online criticism:
Could God create a stone that He could not lift?
If so, it means that God is not omnipotent, and there are stones in this world that He cannot lift.
If not, it means God is not omnipotent, because He cannot create a stone that He cannot lift.
Since it's normal for gods not to be omniscient and omnipotent, then her belief that Yoshikage Kira is a god is valid, isn't it?
After all, Kira-kun can even rewind time. Although there is a limit to the number of times he can do it, it is still very impressive!
Even gods might not be able to do something like this, right?
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Kira Yoshikage's voice pulled the girl back to reality. She hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head.
Although she still had many questions, Yoshikage Kira had already answered enough, and it would be impolite to ask any more.
Yoshikage Kira looked at his phone; it was 7:16.
He stood up and placed his hand on Akiyama Mio's head.
Akiyama Mio obediently moved closer, allowing him to actually touch her.
"..."
Yoshikage Kira remained silent for a long time; in reality, he simply wanted to retrieve the Killer Queen.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, he didn't lose out.
Kira Yoshikage gently ruffled the girl's hair and whispered a few words of advice:
"Then, I'll leave first. You wait two minutes before you leave."
"Okay, okay."
The girl's pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.
"There's one more thing."
Yoshikage Kira stopped in his tracks, gripping the doorknob of the private room.
Akiyama Mio raised her head.
"You pay for the coffee cup."
"Huh?"
Akiyama Mio blinked, and before she could react, Kira Yoshikage had already left the private room and the coffee shop.
"Eh!!!"
