Mygo, Takamatsu Touma wants to reverse the future

"..."

Gao Songdeng remained silent, not saying anything more. Her bright amber eyes searched for a spot, and she leaned against the wooden door, slowly bending down until she finally sat down on the ground.

She's determined to outdo her future husband and refuse to give in!

She sat quietly by the wooden door, her back against the glowing door, her hands tightly wrapped around her knees, her gaze fixed on the endless darkness before her.

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this space; darkness, like a giant curtain, enveloped Takamatsu, creating a chilling silence.

At first, she could clearly feel her breathing and heartbeat, and even hear the sound of blood flowing in her eardrums. However, as time went on, the darkness seemed to begin to erode her senses, and Takamatsu's perception of everything became somewhat blurred.

"We cannot give in..."

Takamatsu Tōdō silently recited this in his heart.

Physically exhausted and mentally drained, but even so, even so, we cannot let Mr. Future continue to harm everyone in the dream. The future should be something for them to experience and create themselves!

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, or rather, the word "time" had almost lost its meaning. Just as Gao Songdeng's consciousness was gradually fading and she was about to give up, suddenly, she caught a glimpse of an unusual change out of the corner of her eye. Several lines of words slowly appeared on the wooden door!

"The door... was never meant to be opened."

"Having gained the conveniences of the future, is it your choice to abandon that future?"

"You only find happiness in the present by knowing the future, yet here you are, challenging me?"

Just reading the words, Takamatsu could feel the intense anger and disdain... emotions within them.

"Is happiness derived from knowing the future? I disagree with Mr. Future's statement."

Gao Songdeng first pursed her lips and lowered her head, but after a while she resolutely raised her head, her brows furrowed.

Indeed, as the inscription on the wooden door suggests, she in reality knew a great deal about the future because she could travel through dreams.

But even knowing the future doesn't lessen the difficulties of reality...

Because of information asymmetry in the future, Aine ran away two or three times, and it was she who chased after her and brought her back.

When Lixi was sick, it was she who went to see him.

In order to win back Su Shi, she even went so far as to go to Su Shi's house and do those shameful things...

Looking back now, Gao Songdeng's cute little face was tinged with a faint blush.

Knowing the future is certainly good, but if you only know it and don't do anything about it... then what's the use of knowing so much?

The future can only be created through action.

As if knowing what Takamatsu was thinking, the wooden door once again displayed a few lines of text on its surface, refuting Takamatsu's idea.

"What about taking action...? Without guidance from the future, do you know what to do?"

"Having gained future benefits now... isn't it contradictory to then try to distance yourself from those future benefits?"

"Now that you know about Xiao Mu's dual personality, you'll definitely pay special attention to her when you get back to reality, won't you?"

"So stop pretending, Takamatsu Akari..."

"Without me, you'll always be... the same!"

"A heretic who can't be human, who only knows how to run away from problems, can't speak, can't read the atmosphere, and has no ability to solve them."

"I... uh!"

Gao Songdeng wanted to retort quickly, but the sound was brewing in his throat and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

She couldn't refute what the wooden door said.

After the dream ended, she did think about helping Xiao Mu and doing everything she could to stop Xiao Mu from becoming Metis, and all of this was indeed the information and guidance that Mr. Future had given her... She had to accept that.

"The future provides information, you return to reality to act, and then feed it back into your dreams. This is what you've been doing and continuing to do. Accept it!"

"Takasatsu Akari, only in this way can you reach that place... where everyone is happy..."

"ending."

The last silvery words appeared on the wooden door, and then Takamatsu felt a strong force push her open. The wooden door in front of her disappeared instantly. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the familiar ceiling of her bedroom.

The clock on the wall pointed to seven o'clock, and she woke up from her dream.

"Why……"

The gray-haired girl had too many confusions and doubts in her heart, but when they came out of her mouth, only the three lonely words "why" could be uttered.

And there was simply no one who could answer that question for her.

“Go to the school and talk to Aine and the others about Xiaomu to get their attention. Then go find Xiaomu again, discuss it with Chuhua, and Xiaomu will definitely get better.”

If Mr. Future hadn't spoken those words, she would have really followed that process, and in that case... she would indeed have been nothing more than a puppet!

Ignore Xiao Mu? That won't do. How can we just leave Xiao Mu alone? She still needs to help Su Shi and Xiao Mu reconcile!

But if she helps Xiaomu, then she will still have fallen into the trap set by the wooden door. What would have been the point of all her previous efforts and initiative?

A profound sense of emptiness enveloped Takamatsu.

"If all of this was orchestrated by Mr. Future, then what's the point of me continuing to work hard?"

At that moment, she fully understood what Yume Kita had said.

It turns out that controlling one's life is such a sad fact.

"Tomori? Time for breakfast?"

At that moment, Yuji Takamatsu knocked on the door, then opened the bedroom door and immediately saw Akira Takamatsu standing on the bed with a sad expression on her face.

"Tomori? What's wrong? You look unhappy."

Yuji Takamatsu keenly sensed that something was wrong with his beloved daughter.

Something's not right!

"Dad, I... I don't know what to do..."

Seeing the gentle man sitting by her bedside, Gao Songdeng could no longer hold back her grievances, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, why is Tomori crying!"

"Did something happen at school?"

"Waaah." (Takamatsu Akari sobs softly)

"Um, did you have a conflict with Aine and the others?"

"Waaah." (Takamatsu Akari continues to cry)

"Was it because I cooked something awful yesterday, Tomori? No, that can't be!"

Yuji Takamatsu looked flustered, trying to confirm the reason with Akari Takamatsu, but it seemed to have little effect.

"Hey, Tomori..."

Yuji Takamatsu gave a wry smile, then gently approached his tearful, pitiful daughter and pulled her into his arms.

"It's okay, Tomori, take your time. You don't have to go to school today, Dad's right here!"

He gently patted Takamatsu's back, trying to calm him down a little.

Takamatsu Akari gradually stopped crying in Takamatsu Yuji's arms, but her small body was still trembling slightly, as if the grievances and confusion in her heart had not been fully released.

She looked up at her father through teary eyes, her voice still choked with sobs: "Dad, it feels like I've become someone else's puppet."

"A puppet? How could Tomori be someone else's puppet?"

Yuji Takamatsu opened his mouth in surprise, completely unexpected that the reason for Akari Takamatsu's crying was this.

"Dad, this is what happened..."

The girl held nothing back from her beloved family, recounting every event that occurred in her dream and the dark world.

As for Takamatsu Yuji, who was twenty years older than Takamatsu Akari, after listening to the whole story, his mature and handsome face couldn't help but show some confusion and shock.

So my precious daughter had actually encountered these strange and nonsensical words before?!

Volume 2 continues! Chapter 147: Less PUA tomorin!

"Is the free will to strive merely formed under the guidance of others?"

Yuji Takamatsu pondered, and began to understand the source of Akari Takamatsu's pain.

Regardless of whether the dream exists or not, the words spoken by that wooden door undoubtedly negate Tomori's past... in its entirety.

Tomori's initiative and efforts are ultimately the result of being controlled by a pair of fateful hands, and the key point is... Tomori can't refute it.

To be honest, even adults might not be able to figure out such an unsolvable problem, let alone their own lovely daughter.

This seems to touch upon the fundamental questions of life!

"Tomori, what are your thoughts?"

Instead of lecturing her, Yuji Takamatsu gently took Akari Takamatsu's hands and looked at her with concern.

"My mind is still a complete mess, Dad..."

"I worked hard for everyone, but it turns out that the result was all the path that Mr. Future built step by step."

She walks on a predetermined path, and even if she achieves a happy ending with everyone in the end, it is only because of the influence of her future dream.

Free will, it seems, never existed from the beginning?

Thinking of this, a heavy sense of despair crept into Takamatsu's heart, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly again.

Seeing Takamatsu Akari's pitiful and sorrowful appearance, Takamatsu Yuji quietly stood up from the bedside, his eyes darting around as he considered his next move.

Perhaps what Tomori needs most right now is the company of his companions.

Meanwhile, at Haneoka Girls' Academy, in her classroom, Chihaya Aine stared at the empty seat in front of her, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

The first class was almost over, but Tomorin still hadn't come to school.

"Tomorin, what happened?"

Chihaya Aine had a bad feeling and her mind was no longer on the class. She took out her phone from under her desk and started sending messages to Takamatsu Akari's profile picture.

Unfortunately, several messages went unread for ten or twenty minutes.

"Is Tomorin still sleeping because he's in a dream?"

This has happened before, but as Tomorin has become more and more proficient in dream simulation, he has been able to come to school normally after each dream ends, so it seems that it is not a problem with the dream!

After class, the girl hesitated, unsure whether to continue messaging Gao Songdeng, but then, an unfamiliar phone number appeared on her phone screen!

"Hey, this phone number looks familiar?"

Chihaya Aine didn't think much of it; her intuition told her to answer the call immediately.

"Hello, this is Chihaya Aine..."

"Is that Aine-kun?"

On the other end of the phone, a familiar, magnetic adult voice rang out, and Chihaya Aine immediately recognized whose voice it was.

It was none other than Tomorin's father, Yuji Takamatsu!

"Uncle, you called me, who is it...?"

What happened to Tomorin?!

In just a moment, Chihaya Aine understood the current situation.

"Well, it's a long story, Aine-kun. Tomori is indeed... in a bad mood right now, and I think she needs the company of you friends more than ever."

"If you could visit Tomori today, I think Tomori might be able to find the answer!"

Aine's phone number was obtained by Yuji Takamatsu from Tomori's phone. They say that friends are a good medicine for a gloomy life, so hopefully Aine and the others really have a solution!

"I...I understand, Uncle! Okay, I'll go over now!"

Chihaya Aine glanced at her class schedule, hesitated for only three seconds, and then decided to skip class.

"The last class is Chinese, so missing one shouldn't be a big problem..."
