This is not the date I wanted.

"Speaking of the unbelievable, I think you are the same, Ike. How did you know that Hacker and Nightmare might come looking for 'Material A'? And you even deliberately changed the transportation route of 'Material A'."

"Oh? This is——"

Seeing Allen's puzzled look, Westcott shrugged with a smile and answered as a matter of course,

"——I have no idea! It's just that my sixth sense told me. And then the other party just happened to show up. Alan, do you think I will win the first prize if I buy a lottery ticket now?"

"..."

————————————————I am the dividing line after escaping——————————————————————

"Phew... That was close. Looks like he didn't catch up."

After escaping to the forest outside Tiangong City, Mengyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief until she confirmed that Alan did not chase her. Then she turned around, stared at Kuang San with dissatisfaction and asked.

"Hey, are you an idiot? You should have noticed that there were no elves inside when the door opened. Why did you run in like an idiot?!"

"I'm so sorry, Miss Mengyue. At that time, I was indeed... a little anxious and lost my composure."

As if she realized that she was too anxious, Kuang San slowly exhaled, lowered her head in shame and apologized to Meng Yue.

"Forget it... As long as you understand."

Seeing Kuang San apologize, Meng Yue gradually calmed down and did not pursue the matter further.

"But, Miss Meng Yue, you could have just left me alone and ran away. I had already exchanged with my original body at that moment, so it didn't matter even if I was killed."

"Goo-"

Hearing what Kuang San said, Meng Yue couldn't help but be speechless.

Kurumi cannot be killed. To be more precise, she cannot be killed completely. In Meng Yue's memory, as long as there is enough "time", Tokisaki Kurumi can use the Eight Bullets to summon a clone to die in her place.

Leaving behind Kuang San and running away was the most correct choice. Meng Yue was not unaware of this at the time.

It's just that at that time, the body took action before the thoughts.

"Well... Anyway, I was sure I could escape, so I saved you."

After taking a look at Kuang San, Meng Yue scratched her hair and answered in a slightly annoyed tone.

"In the last world, I seem to have received a lot of help from you. And watching my partner die in front of me would make me unable to eat dinner. Maybe to you, the clone is just a consumable that doesn't matter if it dies. But at least... don't die in front of me."

"Miss Mengyue..."

Kuang San widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Meng Yue who turned her head away as if a little embarrassed, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"It's the same as expected... Miss Mengyue is an idiot."

"#!"

An angry red cross appeared on Mengyue's forehead.

"This should be my line you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (╯#‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ "

21 Different Worlds, Same Person (VI)

==============================

After that, Mengyue and Kuangsan did not try to sneak into DEM Club again.

The last infiltration had undoubtedly alerted the enemy. DEM must have been on alert now, and even Meng Yue was not sure that she could escape safely after invading the enemy's base camp for the second time.

Moreover, Meng Yue had made full preparations before sneaking in, and she was sure that she had not attracted any attention from the guards. The date of the sneaking in was also randomly decided the day before, and Kuang San would definitely not tell the enemy about this, and she had not mentioned it to anyone.

However, Allen Mathers seemed to have anticipated the appearance of Meng Yue and Kuang San. He quietly ambushed in the dark and launched a fatal sneak attack from the blind spot of Kuang San's sight.

It was as if they knew in advance that Mengyue and the others would sneak in to look for the elves.

Moreover, in Mengyue's memory, there was only one person who could order that arrogant magician to carry out a sneak attack.

Isaac Westcott.

(Could it be that he, like me, has retained the memories of the previous world... No, that's not right.)

Meng Yue quickly denied this speculation.

Let's not talk about whether the other party has the means to preserve memories. Even if they do, in the last world, Mengyue and Kuangsan sneaked in when Miku was causing trouble in DEM Club, and Westcott should not know about it. And the time when Mengyue and Kuangsan sneaked in is also different from the date in the last world.

Then, there are only two possibilities left.

1. Westcott in this world deduced Mengyue's actions through special means that Mengyue could not understand; 2. Letting Alan ambush there was just a sudden whim of that man.

No matter which one, in Mengyue's opinion, the man named Westcott is a hundred times more dangerous than Alan.

(Now I can understand a little... why I chose to passively defend in the previous world.)

To rush in without knowing the details of DEM is like a moth flying into a flame.

After escaping from DEM Society, Kurumi did not show any intention of trying to sneak in again. After all, if the imprisoned Pokémon was not found in that hidden laboratory, then that Pokémon might not be in Tengu City at all.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was time for the Tianyang Festival.

"Sader, where are you going?"

She put on a neutral summer outfit, tied her hair into a ponytail and put on a baseball cap, and then wore a pair of large sunglasses on her nose. After completing the transformation, Mengyue strolled in the venue of the Tianyang Festival, reading the travel guide with great interest.

In the previous world, because of her relationship with Miku, Meng Yue was busy cooking in the class store all day and singing in the gymnasium. After that, because of Miku's broken promise and the trouble caused by the DEM Club, she naturally didn't enjoy the Tianyang Festival.

It can be regarded as making up for the regrets in the previous world, and also as a way to adjust her mood after the previous failure of infiltration. Mengyue decided to enjoy the Tianyang Festival before it causes a commotion.

Hmm? You mean the singing duel between Gokawa Haruga and Yui Miku? Wouldn't it be the same whether that thing wins or loses? Moreover, if we don't consider the special circumstances, just from the perspective of the competition - Meng Yue hopes that Yui Miku will win.

"Chew, chew... Um - how about going to the haunted house next?"

After swallowing the takoyaki in her mouth, Meng Yue thought thoughtfully. Although she was not afraid of ghosts, it might be unexpectedly interesting to pretend to be a real "ghost" and scare people, especially couples, in a haunted house.

Thinking of this, Meng Yue turned around and prepared to walk towards Hall No. 3 where the haunted house was.

"what--"

However, when passing Hall No. 2, due to the dense flow of people, Mengyue felt that she had knocked someone down.

Meng Yue looked down and saw a high school girl in a maid outfit holding a stack of flyers in her hand.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay?"

"Haha - it's okay. Sorry for my distraction just now."

Meng Yue stretched out her hand with some concern. The woman shook her head with a wry smile, grabbed Meng Yue's hand, got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and patted the dust off the maid's skirt.

However, the moment the other party raised his head, Meng Yue was stunned.

The long blue hair is as clear as the sky. Although it looks neutral, the fair face is delicate and attractive. The big eyes under the long eyelashes seem to blink with spirituality.

A long skirt between snow-blue and black, and a pure white apron with dense lace - unlike the popular maid outfits nowadays, her clothing is relatively conservative, but considering her tall height among women and the fragility revealed in her eyes, it gives people an irresistible contrast.

To be honest, if we really talk about appearance, although she is beautiful, there is still a big gap between her and the sisters Kuang San and Yamai. Even if Meng Yue herself is compared with the other party, most people will probably think that Meng Yue is more outstanding in appearance.

However, Mengyue's sunglasses seemed to have a beautifying filter function inexplicably. The other person was so beautiful in Mengyue's eyes that she was completely unable to look away.

However, Meng Yue's reason told her that she knew this person. The seemingly beautiful high school girl in front of her was not a woman, but the harem man she had been trying to avoid - Gokawa Shido.

(Foul!)

Meng Yue roared madly in her heart, flipping the table over.

"Um... is there something wrong?"

Shidou looked at Mengyue who suddenly fell silent with some confusion.

"No, it's nothing."

——Gudong! ——Gudong!

(Calm down! Calm down!!!!)

After taking a long, deep breath and trying to calm her pounding heart, Meng Yue kept reminding herself this.

I have already disguised myself, so I don't have to worry about being discovered even if Yui and Yakuya are nearby. And now Gokawa Shido has never seen me before, so it is impossible for him to think that the girl in front of him is actually an elf.

"Um, that - this is a flyer for our store. If you're interested, would you like to take a look?"

As if he suddenly remembered his job, Shidou took out a flyer in a panic and gave a stiff smile.

(So ​​cute. But - he's a boy!)

"shop?"

Meng Yue subconsciously took the flyer and looked at it. It said that it was a maid cafe called "Maid Cafe☆RAIZEN". Following the address, Meng Yue soon saw a store that was out of place with other food stalls. Yui, Yakuya, and Yatogami Tohka were wearing the same maid outfits as Shidou, standing at the door of the store to greet customers.

(I was careless...)

Meng Yue couldn't help but think in annoyance. Although Meng Yue knew that Shidao was running a maid cafe at this time, a year had passed and her memory was somewhat vague, so Meng Yue couldn't recall the specific location of the store for a while, and she was a little too engrossed in playing that she didn't notice it for a while.

(Leave quickly.)

Meng Yue thought silently in her heart. After all, Yamai and the others didn't seem to have any problems. If possible, she would stay as far away from a harem man like Gokawa Shido as possible.

Although Meng Yue's rationality kept advising herself like this, however——

"Okay. How can I not accept the recommendation of such a lovely lady?"

(That’s not right!)

"Um, well, that...thank you for the compliment..."

Hearing Mengyue's teasing, Shidao seemed unable to adapt. His cheeks flushed and he lowered his head and muttered softly. It must be said that his shy and weak posture was extremely cute.

(But it’s a man!)

Immediately afterwards, her body voluntarily disobeyed her master's wishes, and under the guidance of Shidao, Mengyue walked into the maid cafe.

Seeing Mengyue's figure, Xixian and Yakushi couldn't help but look at Mengyue with some concern.

"Hmm - half of my body. Don't you think that guest has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu..."

"I agree. I think I've seen this somewhere..."

Seeing the Yami sisters looking towards her, Meng Yue was silent for a moment, then turned around, took out her cell phone, and cheered exaggeratedly.

"Oh! What a cute maid. Can I take a picture of her?"

"Uh, it's even stranger than the way I speak."

"What a pity. Looks like I recognized the wrong person."

Hearing Meng Yue's inexplicable way of speaking, Xi Xian and Ya Ku Ya took a few steps back, without any further doubt, and continued to distribute flyers on the street. Meng Yue couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hello, what would you like to order, Master?"

Just then, Mai, wearing a maid outfit, came to the table where Mengyue was.

Meng Yue clasped his hands together, held his chin, and after a moment of silence, he pointed at Shidou outside the store and said in a deep voice.

"…I want that child to serve."

"I'm sorry, she's only responsible for selling flyers outside, not for entertaining customers inside the store."

Mai couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw the other party pointed at Shiori.

Pah! A stack of Yukichi was placed on the table. Meng Yue looked at Mai with an expression of "Do you understand?"

"No problem~ Master, please wait a moment, I will call Shizhi to serve you right away~"

——————————————I am the dividing line where service begins——————————————————

"Then, that cute heart-shaped omelette rice you asked for. Please use——"

After handing the omelette rice to the customer, Shidou placed the tray across his chest, and his facial muscles moved slightly, revealing a very stiff smile.

To be honest, he was almost mentally collapsed at this moment. As a normal male, pretending to be a woman and being forced to change into a maid outfit to distribute flyers was already an extremely shameful thing. However, who could have thought that his classmate suddenly pulled him into the store and asked him to be responsible for receiving customers without saying anything, without even giving him room for negotiation.

"Well, I'll be leaving first..."

"and many more."

Suddenly, the brown-haired woman wearing sunglasses behind him called out to Shidou.

"Anything else?"

"You haven't cast any magic on this plate of omelette rice yet?"

"Magic, magic?"

Hearing these strange words beyond his imagination, Shidou was completely at a loss.
