This is not the date I wanted.

I hope that if readers are interested, they can also read the original work of this fan work, "Date A Live".

————————————————Some words from the author——————————————————

Well, I have said almost everything I wanted to say, and this postscript is almost coming to an end.

As for the next promise, I might first write two short stories in different time periods, and then move on to the plot of the Rokuko volume.

Well, as a small bonus, I will list a few lines of dialogue that will appear in the next story for you to see.

——————Small Theater————————

Erya: I see... boy. In my opinion, Bilijiang is probably that type of person.

Tohka: Who will admit defeat? Come on! Tobiichi Origami.

Meng Yue: Just give up on this elf attack. Shidao.

------Finish---------

Well, see you next time!

00 Sleeping in the Universe

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

<Since the random domain has advanced to the point where people can breathe and walk in the universe, why do you still want to live on such a small planet and quarrel with the elves? Why don’t you consider conquering the stars and the sea? You are too narrow-minded!!! — A certain girl accused excitedly. >

This is the sky, yet it is farther away than the other side of the sky.

This is also the world, but it is more vast and boundless than the end of the world.

The darkness, which has no end in sight, is warmer than the sun, and embraces all things in the world as gently as a child.

Nestled in a small piece of star fragments, the girl curled up in the darkness and slept peacefully.

Just as trees grow in a forest;

Rivers and rivers flow with water;

There is oxygen in the air.

Just like this is common sense, the girl "exists" here and "lives" here so naturally.

Irreversible, irresistible, and uninterruptable, in this pitch-dark void, the girl drifts aimlessly, letting the time in her hands flow continuously.

Objectively, the girl is already a part of this space, but subjectively, there are no people like the girl here.

Even if it existed, it is gone now.

But having said that, the girl did not show any dissatisfaction.

There is not the slightest uneasiness, nor the slightest anxiety, and there is no feeling of so-called loneliness.

not only.

Anger, sadness, joy, love - all emotions were kept out by a solid iron lock.

That's fine.

In exchange for these chips, the girl gained eternal stability and peace.

This is what she expected. Although now, she no longer has the feelings she expected.

--However.

One day, an uninvited guest broke into her world, forcing her to open her eyes.

It was a bunch of mechanical dolls with long arms and legs.

Get in the way.

She would not interfere with anything, but when something interfered with her, the small piece of her heart that remained would urge her to eliminate it.

"——If it's an eyesore, just remove it."

Just like that, the girl held a huge key in her hand.

————————————————————I am the dividing line that diverts attention——————————————————————

January 1th, the first day after the first visit.

It was not until today that Liang Yi Meng Yue understood that in Japanese customs, the amount of coins put into the cash box has its own unique meaning.

Because the pronunciation of "five yuan" is similar to "fate", investing five yuan is equivalent to "having fate"; fifteen yuan is equivalent to "ten times of fate"; twenty-five yuan is equivalent to "double fate"; forty-five yuan is equivalent to "always having fate"; eighty-five yuan is equivalent to "ultimate fate"; and ninety-five yuan is considered to be "infinitely fate".

Ten yuan is a number that is avoided because it is equivalent to "staying away from fate."

Of course, after arriving at the shrine, Mengyue also saw many adults who believed that "the more you give, the greater the fate", and threw five hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand yuan of Yukichi.

Of course, she didn't think this was wrong. Rather, it didn't matter to her whether gods existed or not.

Because most of the time, the wishes you make to the gods, the wishes that can be fulfilled are often not fulfilled by the gods, but by you. And if they cannot be fulfilled, even the gods can't help you.

However, Liang Yi Meng Yue admitted that the act of praying was necessary.

Probably, not many people who come here truly believe in the existence of gods. They just want to go through the motions, seek comfort, or find a spiritual sustenance to vent their emotions for what happened to them in the past.

Success in the imperial examinations, a successful career, a smooth love life, a happy family, good health...

People make wishes here so that they can understand what they really need and then move forward in that direction.

Such thoughts might be scolded by the gods. With such an insignificant thought in mind, Meng Yue threw a five-yuan coin into the cash box, rang the bell, and closed her eyes to pay homage.

(Please make Shidao awaken and become the real Shiori!!!)

Shidou suddenly felt a chill for some reason.

(Well… if God can’t do that, please use the portion that was originally meant to fulfill my wish to fulfill my family’s wish.)

After silently adding this sentence in her heart, Mengyue opened her eyes. Beside her, Yakuya, Yui, Tohka, Shidou, and Origami were still in the posture of worshipping and making wishes to the gods.

Not long after, everyone opened their eyes one after another.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Mengyue."

"It's okay." Wu Ai shrugged, Meng Yue asked, "What wishes did you make?"

"Hmm. Hopefully, we can eat lots of delicious food this year, too!"

Tohka answered excitedly.

"Also, I hope to be with Shidou and everyone else forever."

This is really a Tohka-style answer.

Looking at Tohka's bright smile like the sun, Meng Yue felt that she also smiled unconsciously.

At this moment, Yakushi, who was wearing an orange and black kimono, covered half of his face with his hand and spoke seriously.

"Kuku. I thought you were going to say something. I have already experienced the level of the little god who rules this land. Compared to her, she can only tremble in fear under my majesty."

"You're a snitch. You're a liar. Yakuya just whispered, 'I hope to become an adult this year.'"

"Nani!?"

Hearing what Xixian said, Mengyue couldn't help but look at Yakushi with surprise. Last year, this guy would turn red like a tomato just by holding hands or kissing, but how come he has such a high level of awareness this year?

"Girls change a lot when they grow up..."

Meng Yue sighed with mixed feelings.

"That's not the case! Don't misunderstand me, my compatriots."

Seeing that Mengyue actually believed Xixian's words, Yakushi hurriedly explained.

"I only said I wanted to date Shidou..."

Before he could finish his words, Yakushiya's shoulders shook violently, realizing that he had been tricked.

"Shidou, you've been called."

Poking Shidou's waist with his elbow, Mengyue teased with a smirk on his face.

"Ha ha……"

Shidou scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly and looked away, then replied with a wry smile.

"No, well, um... I'll think about it carefully."

"...!"

Her cheeks turned red instantly, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Shidao's face. Yakuya lowered her head and punched Yuzuru's shoulder with her fist in silent protest.

"Then, Xixian, what about you?"

"Reply. Secret."

In response to Shidao's question, Yui Xian used an ambiguous smile to cover it up.

As for origami, she, wearing a white kimono with paper crane patterns, was still standing in front of the temple with her hands folded, praying and muttering to herself.

Out of curiosity, Yakuya walked up to Origami and leaned over to listen.

"...?!"

After a few seconds, a large cloud of green smoke came out of Yajuya's head like a steam locomotive, and he took a few steps back quickly and silently.

"Shidou, if you want to fulfill Origami's wish, I suggest you make full preparations. Otherwise, if you are careless, you will lose something very important."

"Thanks for the advice..."

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Shidao's forehead in response to Mengyue's overly serious advice.

"Mengyue, what wish did you make?"

"As for me, I hope Shidou can quickly awaken and become the real Shiori."

Meng Yue answered truthfully.

"..."

Shidao felt a little regretful. Why didn't he ask the gods not to fulfill Mengyue's wish?

"Shidou, what wish did you make again... Well, I can probably guess it without asking."

"Oh?" Hearing Mengyue's words, Shidao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a somewhat provocative tone, "I didn't say anything, Mengyue, no matter what you say, you can't guess my wish out of thin air."

Meng Yue spread her hands and said in a calm tone,

"It must be the wish that 'the happiness now can last forever'."

"..."

"It looks like I guessed it right."

Seeing Shidao's depressed expression, Mengyue chuckled, put her hands in her coat pockets, turned around and walked down the temple.

(Am I that easy to understand?)

Touching his cheek, Shidou thought depressedly.

PS: I have to say responsibly that this article is basically written based on the original work.

01 The leisurely time of New Year greetings

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

Arriving at the side hall of the shrine, Shidou saw Kotori and the others, who had arrived earlier, sitting at a large square table, preparing to hang the ema on the wooden house later.

"Kotori-chan, what is this?"

"This is called an ema. If you write your wish on it and give it to the god, he will help you realize your wish."

"What! Really?"

Hearing Kotori's words, Tohka's eyes lit up with excitement.

"This development...why does it feel so familiar?"

Meng Yue felt a sense of déjà vu.

That's right, just like Christmas, the innocent Tohka and others believed the legend of Santa Claus, and then acted like good children waiting for Santa Claus's gifts with great expectation. In order to live up to their expectations, Shidou had to act as Santa Claus to prevent their dreams from being shattered by the cruel reality.

In other words, if we follow this process...
