I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Like a waterfall hanging from the Milky Way, a vast and fresh grassland, a vast and silky starry sky, the scorching sun, and the bright moonlight.

These scenes, which would be considered beautiful no matter which one is placed alone, appear at the same time in this world so absurdly.

As Bai appeared in this world, the waterfall reversed, the grass disappeared, the stars fell, the scorching sun and the bright moon bloomed at the same time, as if the whole world was rejecting him.

However, Bai did not react at all. He quietly waited for the sharp edge of these worlds to fall on him, and then naturally dissipate.

"Who are you?" An electronic voice sounded, a hint of shock in the calm voice.

"Didn't you tell me to come and rescue people? Am I not here now?" Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, with a playful look on his face.

"I should have only sent signals that could be received by creatures with magical powers, but I didn't sense any magic in you."

"But it doesn't matter, right? You only need one person to rescue people anyway. Does it matter who it is?"

The voice was slightly silent, as if thinking about how to respond.

"...You're right. How can I trust you to take good care of her then?"

"I know a few kind magical girls who can be placed with me."

"Can't they come?"

"They don't know. Your message was too vague, so almost no one believed it. If I didn't know you existed, I probably wouldn't care."

"...I understand. Please wait."

As the voice fell, the surrounding scene transformed into a matrix-like appearance, with strings of data passing by Bai.

The owner of the voice did not appear, but was looking for something.

A moment later, a green figure appeared in front of Bai, with nothing around him.

"She doesn't want to?" Bai asked softly.

"Please give me some time, I will persuade her."

The green figure spoke with some anxiety, but still did not move.

Bai knew the reason clearly.

In this world made up of data, as the entity and master of this world, it is just a common thing to separate some data and do different things.

"Why don't you bring her here and let's talk. You don't have the heart to force her, right?" Bai spoke again.

"...Please wait." The electronic voice calmed down again.

The world began to flow, and mountains and rivers reappeared.

As a stream flowed by, the figure of a girl lying on a stone by the stream appeared in Bai's sight.

Chapter 45: Sana's Story and the Rumor of Ai-chan

The girl has an incomplete family. Her biological father passed away before she was old enough to understand things, and her mother was very dissatisfied with her father.

So the girl's mother took her to find another husband.

In a family named Erye, the man is engaged in medical research and has two children, both boys, one is the girl's older brother and the other is her younger brother.

The older brother has excellent grades and won first place in the national mock exam. The younger brother is very good at sports and was recommended to a prestigious school as a sports student.

Compared to these two strange brothers, the girl sandwiched between them is extremely ordinary, and therefore she is isolated by the two of them as well as her father and mother.

Their family believed that the girl was not worthy of being a member of the Erye family, and that everything she said and did was a disgrace to the Erye family.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that they still retain the minimum responsibility of raising the girl. They don't talk to her normally, and even if there is something, they will only send messages on their mobile phones.

As they wished, the girl never communicated with them again.

Later, the girl made a 'friend', a stray cat named 'Gulu'.

The girl liked this "friend" very much. She would feed it some food every time she met it and often talked to it.

But unfortunately, after the people from the health station came nearby, its only "friend" disappeared.

The girl lost her 'friends' and gave up the idea of ​​hanging out on the streets. She only returned home at mealtimes and stayed in school the rest of the time.

By chance, the girl met another friend, a classmate.

This 'friend' also came to talk to the girl because he liked 'Gulu'. The two of them had common topics and became 'friends' for a short time.

One day, the classmates were bored and wanted to have some fun. They found a keychain on the girl that looked like "Gulu" and snatched it away.

They were laughing and teasing.

The girl wanted to seek help, so she looked at her 'friend' who also liked 'Gulu'.

The 'friend' noticed the girl's gaze and turned his head away under her gaze.

Although the teacher's arrival stopped the incident, it was too late for the girl.

Since then, the girl has never gone to school again, and her relationship with her "friends" has become increasingly distant.

The girl wandered around the street every day, people came and went but no one was worth her stopping for.

The laughter of passersby sounded like harsh noise in the girl's ears, and she gradually wanted to get away from this noisy world.

So the girl began to pray to God, praying for a miracle to happen and praying that she could be saved from her dream.

The gods did not respond, but...

"Do you want to be a magical girl? I can grant you a wish."

A 'rabbit' appeared in the girl's world and spoke words that sounded like those of a god.

The girl was full of hope and promised the 'rabbit' to go to where 'Gulu' was, but the 'rabbit' could not understand.

So the girl made some changes and made a wish to disappear from this world.

From then on, as a magical girl, she has become an existence that ordinary people cannot see.

The girl lives in this world at a loss, not knowing what she wants.

By chance, the girl heard a rumor.

At a fixed time, jump from a radio tower in the central area and you will go to a world inaccessible to humans.

But the most basic requirement is that it can only be one person, and therefore this legend is called "the end of a person alone".

"Isn't this perfect? ​​No one needs me, and my existence is meaningless to others. So why not go to another world, a world where I'm alone? Maybe I can meet someone who can accept me..."

The girl thought so.

So the girl found out the specific information and arrived at the fixed place at the fixed time.

At the moment when no one knew, he jumped down.

The girl's figure fell rapidly, feeling the whistling wind passing by her, and she closed her eyes.

......

Infinite 0s and 1s appeared and enveloped the girl. Accompanied by a green light, the girl disappeared from this world.

When she opened her eyes again, what appeared before her eyes were infinite numbers, complex matrices, neat lines, and a figure beside her that was also made up of numbers.

The figure's tone was unfriendly, and noisy electronic sounds continued to emit.

"You have triggered the conditions of my containment. From now on, you will stay here alone forever."

"...Isn't this great?" the girl replied softly.

The figure was speechless for a moment.

Many humans have come here, but none of them are as nonchalant as the girl in front of him.

"You are special..."

"The same to you..."

The conversation between the two ended just like that.

The girl looked around but didn't see anyone.

Suddenly he seemed to relax and lay down on the ground.

"Hello, my name is Futaba Sanae, I'm a magical girl, what about you?"

"I don't have a name..."

......

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and Shana gave it a name, 'Love', for convenience.

A few days passed in a flash, and Shanai became familiar with "Love".

Love, an artificial intelligence, also seems to have emotions in the company of Shanai.

"Shanai, you really don't plan to go back?"

"Aren't you happy being with me...?"

“No, I am very happy with Shanai, whether we are reading picture books or playing games together, it is very fun.

But your parents and friends will worry about you."

"Thanks..."

"But...even if they're worried, I don't care...

I didn't like it either at home or at school, so now that I'm away from them, I feel very relieved.

And I'm a 'transparent person', no matter how hard others look for me, they can't find me, so even if I go back, there's no point."

The electronic sound stopped, as if acknowledging Shana's words.

After a while——

"Shanai, are you really not forcing yourself?" The owner of the voice seemed to have discovered something, and his tone was no longer calm.

"No, because I don't have to see those annoying people. I feel much more relaxed here." Shana's face was filled with smiles, and it seemed that her mood was really as she said.

"At first, you did come to me looking for someone to chat with, but lately, you seem a little sad."

“…Ai-chan is amazing.

Yes, I lied, and maybe I was really forcing myself a little bit."

"I said before that I made a wish to disappear, but from the moment I started looking for Ai-chan, I realized that my true wish wasn't to disappear."

"What's your real wish?"

"Yeah, but...that wish can no longer be fulfilled because I made a wish to make myself disappear, and that can no longer be fulfilled."

"why?"

"After being away from home and school, I do feel relieved, but... I don't want to escape. I just hope that someone can recognize the existence of Futaba Sana, and hope that there is a place that can accept me. But now because I am a 'transparent person', this wish can no longer be realized."

There seemed to be a moment of regret in Shana's eyes, but it disappeared instantly when she saw the figure in front of her.

"So that's fine. I just want to be with Ai-chan."

"Then what would you do if someone who needed you came here?"

"I don't know... But if someone really comes here regardless of the danger, I might try to give my first trust to that person."

The electronic sound stopped playing, and Ai-chan had already made a decision.

As a created rumor, it has long understood its mission.

Originally, its life trajectory was to attract people here through rumors in order to increase its own strength. When enough was available, an organization called 'Magis' would take it back.

That's how it would have been if no one had interfered.

But the appearance of Shana made it understand human emotions, and it couldn't bear to see Shana continue like this.

So after the two of them communicated that day, she used her ability as an electronic carrier to send signals outward, hoping that a magical girl would come to rescue Shana and kill it.

Because if it hadn't died, even the magical girl couldn't escape from the set barrier, so if Shana wanted to get out, it had to die.

A lot of news has been sent out, but no one cares. Even the magical girls just treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

But Ai-chan did not give up. There were many magical girls in Kamihama, so many that even it could not find all of them in a short time, so it could only take it slowly.

......

Not long ago, after sending a message as usual, it accompanied Shana and suddenly felt that someone had entered this barrier, so it left a clone with Shana and came here.
