This is not the date I wanted.

"Very good - then I will crush you into dust with one blow!"

Looking at Shidou who summoned the Ice Puppet to block his attack, Tohka, who had turned around, had a terrifying bloodshot look in her eyes.

In the sky, a huge throne gradually descended from the sky. At this time, Tohka was about to use her ultimate move - the sword of the end.

(The time is now!)

Aiming at the gap exposed by Tohka at this time, Mengyue rushed out from the darkness and approached her quickly from behind Tohka.

"who?!"

Tohka noticed Meng Yue approaching. Regardless of the combination of the throne and the tyrannical prince, the great sword swept behind him as his body turned.

"Dawn Sage!"

【Understand, predict the future and start. 】

The next second, the trajectory of the sword blade appeared in her mind. Meng Yue jumped lightly and stepped on the blade of Tyranny Duke accurately. With the power of her spirit, she temporarily pinned Tyranny Duke to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment of suppressing Tohka, Mengyue leaned forward slightly, put her head close to Tohka's ear, and took a deep breath slowly.

The next moment, an ultrasonic wave with power no less than that of the Pojun Songstress possessed by Miku rang in Tohka's ears.

“——Gu!!!!”　

Even after Tohka turned around, she couldn't help feeling dizzy when the ultrasonic wave of this level of power hit her eardrum directly at a distance almost touching her face.

Along with Tohka's painful wail, the throne in the sky also disintegrated and dissipated at this moment.

(I'm sorry, Ms. Tohka, I made you suffer.)

After silently apologizing in her heart, Mengyue and Shixiang distanced themselves from each other, ran in front of Shidou, and grabbed his collar without hesitation.

Here Mengyue would like to solemnly state that although she had no intention of helping Gokawa Shidao, it does not mean that she would just watch someone die even though she knew he was in danger.

The reason why we allowed things to develop to this point is simply because we are confident that it can be resolved safely even at this point.

"Now is the time to put this scumbag to good use. Hurry up and wake up the princess!"

“Eh——?! Tohka ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh——”

After throwing Shidou in the direction of Tohka, Mengyue flicked her wrist and looked at Shidou who was crying in the air. How should I put it... Such a strong sense of déjà vu.

(Well, although it’s generally unacceptable, I’ll leave it at that for now since the women’s clothing is so pretty.)

Looking at the two people who were safe and sound, Mengyue sighed, and then quietly left while Shidao and the others were not paying attention.

……

The next day, Liang Yi Meng Yue and Tokisaki Kurumi met in a restaurant that could be found everywhere.

Probably no one could have imagined that these two high school girls who seemed to be out for a meal after school would cause such a mess together at the Japanese branch of DEM yesterday.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Miss Mengyue."

"If possible, I really don't want to have this kind of cooperation a second time."

Looking at the smiling Kuang San, Meng Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Mom, no need to say that. Just consider it my treat this time."

"Really? Then I won't be polite with you. Waiter, take the order!"

As expected, Meng Yue had no intention of being polite to Kuang San and ordered all the dishes on the menu from the waiter.

"Hey... Miss Mengyue. Let me ask you a question."

As if aiming for the right moment to start the conversation, Kurumi suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"Are you really not going to return to Mr. Shidou?"

Hearing this, Meng Yue couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and looked at Kuang San with suspicion.

"I say...what are your intentions?"

"How could that be? I just simply hope that Miss Mengyue can be happy."

Kurumi said with a smile.

In an instant, Meng Yue felt a chill on her back, as if the ice age had arrived.

"…Coming from you, these words are totally unconvincing."

"Eh? That's too much, Miss Mengyue. You actually doubted someone's rare kindness. I'm so sad! I'm going to cry!"

"..."

Looking at Kuang San wiping her tears with a handkerchief (?), Meng Yue's eyes twitched involuntarily, and after a long time, she sighed helplessly.

"Let's just leave it at that... Well, I appreciate your kindness. Although the 'me' in my memory seems to have lived happily with Gokawa Shido, I will decline your offer."

"why?"

Kurumi asked in confusion.

"If you ask me why..."

Meng Yue scratched her cheek in embarrassment, and after thinking for a moment, she answered,

"Even if I accepted that guy in the last world, it doesn't mean that I have to make the same choice in this world. I hate harem men the most."

"I see. As the saying goes, those involved are confused but those who are not involved can see things more clearly... Miss Mengyue, it seems that you have misunderstood something."

After hearing Meng Yue's answer, Kuang San seemed to understand something and shook her head with a wry smile.

“Even if you change history and the world, you in the last world and you in this world are still the same person.”

"……Eh?"

23 Different Worlds, Same Person (VIII)

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

"It's autumn..."

Walking in the corridor of the residential area, looking at the dead leaves slowly falling in the autumn wind, Mengyue felt inexplicably melancholy.

Ever since the commotion at the Tianyang Festival was resolved, Mengyue stayed at the hotel without caring about anything else and stayed up late playing games and watching anime for several days in a row.

The reason for doing this was, firstly, because she realized that after her previous contact with Shido Gokawa, Kotori Gokawa began to secretly send people to search for her in Tenguu City, and secondly, because Kurumi's words at that time caused a great deal of shock to Mengyue.

After more than ten days of staying up all night, even the elves' physique could not stand it anymore. The sleepy Mengyue buried her head in sleep for the whole day. When she woke up, she wanted to go out to relax. Unexpectedly, Tiangong City, which originally had some lingering summer atmosphere, was now completely filled with the breath of autumn.

"Have you really stayed in the hotel for too long?"

Meng Yue scratched her head in distress.

With nothing to do, Mengyue began to wander aimlessly in Tiangong City.

Went to the video game arcade to play some arcade games;

I went to the bookstore again and flipped through the books to experience the excitement of reading a bully book;

After wandering around the shopping mall for a while, I bought some snacks to eat when I got back;

Then I went to the shrine and wandered around...

(I have become completely familiar with this place without realizing it...)

Meng Yue couldn't help but think.

Although she had lived in other cities before, she would leave after not staying there for long due to her identity. This time, she stayed in Tiangong City for a longer period of time because she was worried about the safety of her friends.

Perhaps because she had lived here in her previous life, Mengyue quickly adapted to life here.

"Boss, give me a serving of Taiyaki."

"okay."

Passing by the shopping street, Mengyue came to a Taiyaki stall and bought a portion of Taiyaki.

"Speaking of which, little girl. You bought a lot of snacks."

After packaging the Taiyaki and handing it to Mengyue, the proprietress who bought the Taiyaki looked at the heavy snacks in Mengyue's other hand and said with some surprise.

"Well, I plan to have a good party tonight."

"It's not good to eat snacks all the time. You were doing that the last time I saw you. If you don't control yourself, your family will be angry."

"I know, I'll eat well and I'll be fine."

After waving her hand with a wry smile, Mengyue turned and left.

(Family?)

Meng Yue couldn't help but sighed with some complexity. Although she knew that the boss lady's words didn't have any special meaning, and were just a normal expression of concern, Meng Yue still felt a little hurt in her heart.

In this world, Liangyi Mengyue has no family.

(Well… I did have myself in the previous world.)

Although he is a harem scum. After silently adding a sentence, Meng Yue looked at the setting sun and shrugged helplessly.

——————————————I am the dividing line of space jump————————————————————

Fifteen thousand meters above Tiangong City, Fraxinus.

"me...Hacker..."

Liang Yi Meng Yue suddenly walked into the room, causing a hint of surprise to flash across Murasame Reine's sleepy eyes.

"…How did you get in?"

"Nothing special. I just forged an account with permissions and used the space transfer system of this spaceship to move in."

"..."

Ignoring Lingyin's surprised expression, Mengyue finished the Taiyaki in her hand after chewing a few bites, and put the snack on the table.

After looking around, Meng Yue found that everyone in the room, including Gokawa Shido and the Yamai sisters, Yoshino, Tohka, Yui Miku, and even Kurumi, were sleeping in a cocoon-shaped machine capsule.

Mengyue knew that they were not really asleep at this moment, but were active in another virtual world.

Maria Orumi is an artificial intelligence that was accidentally created by the hacking of DEM's AI. In order to understand what love is, she locked Shido Gokawa into a virtual world, and as a condition, she invited women who had close relationships with Shido Gokawa into the computer world as well. Then, she let Shido Gokawa and the elves go on all kinds of shameless and bizarre dates in the virtual world.

(Isn’t this just playing Galgame?)

After complaining silently in her heart, Meng Yue took a deep breath and summoned her angel.

"Ratziel (Sage of the Dawn)."

“Hacker…what are you doing…”

Seeing Mengyue's actions, Lingyin couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble."

She tried to say a reassuring word to Ling Yin. Perhaps she guessed what Meng Yue was going to do. After staring at Meng Yue for a moment, Ling Yin said nothing more and let Meng Yue manipulate the Fraxinus' main computer.

"But... virtual worlds and the like actually exist."

While typing on the keyboard, Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

As a homebody, the development of the virtual world can be said to be a dream, or perhaps a kind of romance.

To be honest, if it weren't for special circumstances, Mengyue might have considered "slightly" tampering with the game into an adventure RPG game, and then pretending to be the mastermind and saying things like "If you die in the game, you in the real world will die at the same time.", "Although this is a game, it's not a joke." to scare them.

"There is."

Not long after, with the help of the Sage of Dawn, Mengyue found the AI ​​program code of Orushou Junya and Orushou Junai who deliberately hid himself.

[——Memory patch of the same type of AI detected——Do you want to install it? ]

"Eh?"

Meng Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. The reason was that the memory patch mentioned by the Dawn Sage was exactly the data of the AI ​​of the airship, Ormori Maruna and Ormori Mariya, in the previous world.

[So, in the last world, in order to save Junai and Mariya, the Sage of the Dawn was completely connected to the computer of the spaceship.]

Meng Yue couldn't help but ponder. Since the Dawn Sage could spontaneously retain the memories of the previous world and pass them on to himself, it was not strange that he preserved Junajuya's memories.

Moreover, this is not a bad thing. Mengyue is just worried about how to deal with the pair of AI sisters.

"implement."
