This is not the date I wanted.

"I said, are you going to pay it back or not?"

Meng Yue couldn't help but ask angrily.

"not return."

"Why do you do that?"

"What belongs to Shiori is what belongs to Shidao, and what belongs to Shidao is what belongs to me."

Puff——Meng Yue almost spat out blood because of Origami's Fat Tiger theory. God is her witness, since she came to this world, she has never seen such a shameless person who confuses right and wrong without any guilt.

Uh, it seems I have really seen him, but it seems to be the same person.

"...Eh. Never mind. I'll give this to you."

If they just forcefully snatched it, the photo would probably end up being torn into two halves because it couldn't withstand the tearing of the two elves. Thinking of this, Meng Yue sighed helplessly and let go of her hand first.

Anyway, Mengyue had already copied the data images into several USB flash drives and saved them, and there were also photo albums prepared at home for collection and viewing.

(Shidou: "——Yawn!!!!!!!!!")

Seeing Mengyue let go, Origami didn't hesitate to take the photo back without hesitation, put it on his face, took a deep breath, and after a long time, he slowly sighed.

“The world is so beautiful.”

Mengyue felt the corners of her eyes twitching constantly.

"I say... you are Origami from the previous world, right?"

Obviously, in Mengyue's opinion, the only person who could do such a perverted thing in public without any shame was Tobiichi Origami before history changed.

In response, Origami nodded without denying it.

"That may be true in your mind. But in fact, the me before and the me now are the same person from beginning to end."

"Oh, that's what happened."

A look of realization appeared on Mengyue's face.

In this world, once history changes, it will not create a divergence point to create a parallel world. Instead, the impact will directly cover the current time and space to change reality. In other words, although the "previous world" and "this world" have always been used to distinguish, in fact, Origami Tobiichi has always been only one person.

If we have to categorize it, Origami at this moment should be like Kotori, using something as a trigger to undergo a personality change.

As for the content of the opportunity, Mengyue knew it without thinking, it was Gokawa Shidao and the objects related to him.

"Liang Yi Meng Yue, I have a question for you?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Origami placed the photo gently in his arms, stared at Mengyue, and spoke.

"What do you think of Gokawa Shidao?"

In an instant, Meng Yue's expression became quite subtle.

"Um... Is this question important?"

"Very important."

Origami nodded seriously.

"At that time, you obviously had many opportunities to kill me directly. But in the end, you still chose to accept Shidou's wish. It can be seen how important Shidou is to you."

As the person involved, Origami is very clear that there is no direct connection between her affairs and Ryougi Yumezuki. However, the other party is indeed the person who cares about her affairs the most besides Gokawa Shido.

From Ryougi Yumezuki's perspective, Origami was undoubtedly the target that had to be killed directly. However, in the end, she still chose to believe Shidao and let Origami live.

"But, as far as I know, in daily life, your contact with Itsuka Shido is not as close as that with Tohka and the others."

Because Ryougi Yumezuki almost never has a reverse flow of spiritual power due to emotional fluctuations, Yumezuki and Shidou do not go on dates very often. And Yumezuki will not take the initiative to ask for a date like other elves. Most of the time, it is Gokawa Shidou who takes the initiative to find Yumezuki when he has something to do.

As she spoke, Origami's eyes showed serious emotion.

"So, who is Gokawa Shidou to you? What kind of feelings do you have towards Gokawa Shidou? I want to know this."

"That's it..."

It seemed that she understood why Origami invited her today. Meng Yue sighed lightly, sat on a public chair by the roadside, put the shopping bag aside, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and looked up at the blue sky.

"...Shidou told me this before when he sealed my spiritual power."

After a long time, Meng Yue slowly spoke,

"I'm sorry, but I can't get married because I still have Tohka, Yoshino, and Yamai. If I do that, it would be like giving up on them and enjoying happiness alone. But - I'm willing to swear that I'm willing to accompany you for the rest of your life, and I'll treat you as my family until the moment I die."

To this day, Mengyue still clearly remembers what Gokawa Shidao said to her at that time.

"Shidou is my family to me. The most important family I have in this world."

Meng Yue smiled unconsciously, looking at the origami, and said calmly,

"But at the same time, we're just family. So beyond that, I don't intend to force anything."

Origami calmly listened to Meng Yue's words, pursed her lips and asked.

"So, you don't have any romantic feelings towards Shidou?"

"Well... now that DEM is eyeing this place covetously, we don't know when we will be in danger. It's okay to enjoy our daily life and relax. I don't have the courage to fall in love during the war."

Meng Yue chuckled and shrugged and replied.

"Yeah……"

Origami said softly.

"........."

"........."

For a moment, both of them seemed to be thinking about something, and the atmosphere fell into an indescribable silence.

After a long while, Origami finally spoke first.

"I like Itsuka Shido."

"I know."

Mengyue nodded gently.

"I like him. I like him very much. I like him so much that I want to date him, kiss him, and make him make me make love all over my body, oral, foot, hair, anal, and all kinds of things. Then I want to marry him, give birth to his children, and live a 'happy' life."

"There are too many harmonious words in the middle!"

"So, I don't care about your reasons."

Ignoring Mengyue's complaints, Origami continued speaking without changing his expression.

"Even if you intend to stop, I will not make concessions. I will use all means to pursue him, seduce him, and make him completely obsessed with me."

"Then why are you asking me these questions..." Meng Yue sighed and said, "Well, since you have decided, then do your best."

"...But I will respect Shidou's decision."

At this moment, Origami's tone became extremely serious.

"If in the end, Shidou doesn't choose me... I will choose to withdraw."

The moment she heard this, Meng Yue looked at the other person in shock.

"Origami..."

"By the way, do you still have this photo? If you do, let's make an appointment next time. I'll pay for it no matter how much it costs."

Origami held the photo of Shiori in her hand and proposed something to Mengyue very seriously. Mengyue immediately became upset.

"...You really are Tobiichi Origami."

"It seems that I need to buy a photo album before going back..."

Origami muttered quietly, then carefully put the photo into her handbag.

"—!"

The moment Origami put the photo into his bag, his body trembled violently and beads of sweat spread across his forehead.

"Could it be that... it has changed back?"

Meng Yue asked uncertainly as she looked at Origami, whose entire demeanor had changed drastically.

“Ahh…Ahh…Gu…Ahhh…”

With his mouth open, he muttered some incomprehensible syllables, and Origami's face gradually turned red like a ripe tomato, and his eyes turned into the Rinnegan in panic.

"Ms. Meng Yue, that's not right. What I meant to say just now is not right. Ah, it's not wrong, but it's wrong. Anyway, I'm very sorry!!!"

"Yeah, I know. Anyway, calm down first."

"By the way, I have to return this to you. Eh? What's wrong with my hand?"

As he spoke, Origami seemed to want to take out the photo and return it to Mengyue, but at the same time, Origami's left hand, against its owner's will, held down his right hand tightly.

Meng Yue said that she actually saw someone fighting with another herself in real life.

"It doesn't matter. I told you I didn't have to pay you back."

Meng Yue smiled bitterly and waved her hands. She had a hunch that the moment the photo was taken out, Origami would definitely return to its original state and stuff the photo back in. Then she would fall into a meaningless dead loop.

(Welcome back, my family.)

Mengyue thought silently in her heart.

"Rather than that, let's go buy the rest of the stuff."

"Yes Yes……"

——————————————————————I am the dividing line when I return home——————————————————--

"Chef! Chef! I am very strict. If the offerings you prepared do not satisfy me, I will give you the full rights to my compatriots."

"Face up. If it doesn't taste good, Mengyue will have to play games with Xixian and Yakuya all night, you know!"

"Well...I think I'm going to forgive you, Mengyue."

Hearing the shouting of the Yamai sisters coming from the living room, Shidou said with a smile on his face.

"Well, that's why I have to cook delicious food and play with them all night before school starts."

Gently rolling up her sleeves, Meng Yue looked through the kitchen and asked Shidao.

"Shidou, where did you put the rubber bands? Give me one to tie my hair."

"Ah... about this."

"Shidou?"

Meng Yue looked at Shidao with some doubts. He scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, and took out a small gift bag from his back.

"Um... I suddenly remembered that you don't seem to have a hairband in this world, so today I asked Tohka and Miku to go to that jewelry store and pick one out."

"That's it."

Meng Yue took the gift bag and felt her cheeks getting slightly hot. On the one hand, she felt a little ashamed for thinking that Shidao was on a double date, and on the other hand, she realized that their meeting was not accidental, and her heartbeat quickened a little.

"Shidou...you really are an incredible playboy..."

Meng Yue whispered in an extremely small voice.

"——? Meng Yue, what did you say?"

"Nothing~ Can I open it?"

"Yeah, of course."

With Shidao's permission, Mengyue opened the package. Unlike the four-leaf clover in the previous world, the headband inside was made of plastic glass with a crescent moon and a star in the middle as decoration.

"Well... not bad, huh?"

Meng Yue chuckled, took out a hairband and tied her long hair into a bun.

"It suits you very well, Mengyue."

Shidao couldn't help but sigh. The originally somewhat scattered soft long hair was tied into a low ponytail, which made Meng Yue, who originally gave people the impression of being casual and indifferent, more virtuous.

"Speaking of which, Mengyue, have you ever had your hair done?"

"Oh, you actually noticed that? Shidou, you've grown up too."

After looking at Shidao with some surprise, Mengyue chuckled and said.
