This is not the date I wanted.

"Um... Darling, Honey is really too much."

Touching her head, Miku pretended to be in pain and acted coquettishly towards Shidou.

"Well, Miku is here too, so let's eat together!"

"Yeah, Darling loves you so much!"

"Ha ha……"

Looking at Mengyue's stinging gaze, Shidou smiled awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly. I'm starving, Onii-chan."

At this moment, Itsuka Kotori, who had her hair tied into two ponytails with a white hairband, spoke in a dissatisfied tone.

By the way, she was still holding a "Supergood" lollipop in her mouth just now, but after Shidou brought the dishes over, she quickly bit the lollipop into pieces and ate it to prevent being discovered.

Although Meng Yue knew this very well, she was too lazy to point it out in front of so many people.

"Really? You guys keep dating all day, can't you talk about something else?"

At the dinner table, Meng Yue said helplessly.

"Ha ha……"

In response, Shidou just laughed dryly.

"Well...it's true that sometimes it's nice to change the topic to something more interesting."

Kotori said while chewing her rice.

"Kuku... Then would you like to come and admire the Book of Purgatory that I have treasured for a long time and that records the face of the dark world? It is not out of the question to take it out and share it with you."

"It turns out that it's just a notebook where Yakuya records the names and settings of his special moves."

"Xi, Xixian, what are you talking about!?"

"Scold you, Right Kidney Abi's affair with Geng Youqi?! (What? Is there anything more interesting than dating?!)"

"Tohka, finish your meal first!"

"Ah! Speaking of something more exciting than a date, it's, of course, a grown-up night out!"

"Shi-Shiono!"

Shion said with a blushing face.

"That's great... I also want to be with Darling and Honey. No! If I can spend a passionate night with everyone here, I feel that there will be no regrets in my life—"

"Shidou's first night is definitely mine!"

"Wait, Onii-chan, I will never give it to you."

——Pa pa pa pa!

Afterwards, a few sharp paper fans silenced the quarreling crowd.

"Although I was the one who started it, I didn't say that you were allowed to talk about this kind of topic during dinner. To be honest, I felt so complicated when I thought that the topic raised by Yakuya was the most normal one."

Meng Yue patted the paper fan in her hand and said helplessly.

"Well, Mengyue, what topic are you going to talk about?"

Feeling that he could finally free himself from that awkward position, Shidou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mengyue.

"Hmm? As for me..."

After hearing what Shidou said, Mengyue looked thoughtful.

Topic of otaku? Unfortunately, except for Shidou and Kotori who were doing some research in Galgame to capture elves, basically no one present was an otaku.

The past? Sorry, the past of the elves is a bit heavy and not very suitable for livening up the atmosphere.

...Come to think of it, this body of mine, according to some damn god, is a figurine from a fan fiction.

If the world of anime exists, then does that mean the characters in the novel are also living in that world?

What kind of person is that person?

"So...if parallel worlds exist, what do you think yourselves in that other world would be like?"

——————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line that transforms the world——————————————————————————————————————

"Parallel world theory?"

In a certain coffee shop, Saten said this with some confusion about the term.

"Well...if I remember correctly, it was a theory proposed by a scientist in the 1950s."

After tilting his head slightly to think for a moment, Hatsuharu replied.

"Well, it was proposed by Hugh Everett. In the 20s, some physicists observed quanta and found that the quantum state was different each time they observed it. Since all matter in the universe is composed of quanta, these scientists speculated that since each quantum has a different state, the universe may not be just one, but composed of multiple similar universes."

Meimeng, who had been wearing a pair of glasses without her knowing, pushed down Heizi, who was drooling and shouting, "Ms. Meimeng with glasses is so beautiful, Heizi, I can't help it!" on the table, and explained while pretending to be a top student.

"Some scholars have used the following metaphor to describe parallel universes: they may be in the same spatial system, but in different time systems, just like two trains running one after the other on the same railway line; they may be in the same time system, but in different spatial systems, just like cars running simultaneously in the upper and lower passages of an overpass."

"Hmm... that sounds hard to understand!" Saten was confused by what Meimeng said, but finally gave up and asked, "Why is Meimeng suddenly interested in this? Is it a school assignment?"

"No... I just saw it while killing time in the library alone this morning."

For some reason, Mei Meng had a hollow expression on her face at this moment.

"I was originally planning to go shopping with Mikoto-san, but I didn't expect that bastard Touma would take the initiative and trick Mikoto into going to the underground shopping mall, and even skipped his usual training... That kid has become a lot braver! Aaaa~ Tomorrow... I must teach him a lesson that will be unforgettable..."

Touma, who was being forcibly dragged out by Mikoto to run errands, was in tears.

Seeing the girl emitting a terrifying black aura while still maintaining a noble lady-like smile, Saten's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he realized that he had stepped on a landmine.

"Well... then what do you think after reading it, Meimeng-san?"

"Eh? It was indeed just to kill time but it was surprisingly interesting so I continued watching."

Nice! Saten secretly gave a thumbs up to Hatsuharu's skill in changing the subject.

"Well, how should I put it..."

Mei Meng paused for a moment, organized her words, and then spoke hesitantly.

"It feels quite romantic...?"

"romantic?"

Although it was a bit rude, everyone present felt that this word had nothing to do with Misaka Mimu.

"Well! Think about it, a parallel universe refers to another universe that is separated from a certain universe and exists in parallel with the original universe, which is both similar and different. In these universes, there are universes that were born under the same conditions as our universe, and there may be planets that are the same as the planets humans live on or have the same history, and there may be people who are exactly the same as humans. At the same time, in these different universes, the development of things will have different results: species that have become extinct in our universe may be constantly evolving in another universe, and they will continue to reproduce endlessly... Doesn't it feel romantic?"

"Well, that's true now."

"It's really unexpected that Meimeng-san is interested in this."

"I didn't expect that Lady Meimeng is so sensitive. It feels like she has discovered something incredible. Kuroko feels her heart beating so fast."

"I always feel that being evaluated like this is a bit subtle and complicated..."

Mei Meng said as she took a sip of her drink with a subtle expression.

To be honest, as a fan of "A Certain Magical Index", he naturally knows that there is no concept of parallel world in the world setting of "A Certain Magical Index". There is only one world of "A Certain Magical Index" and "A Certain Scientific Railgun".

However, other worlds definitely exist.

If you ask why, it’s because you are the best evidence.

Then, Mei Meng suddenly had an idea.

In other worlds, is there someone who is exactly like you, or even can be called another you?

"Perhaps, in another world, there are people who look just like me, living different lives, with different experiences, and different lives."

Just like a curious child, Meimeng said with sparkling eyes.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied with my current life, it's just...

"I am very curious about such an interesting thing!"

Special episode: Dream & Dream Moon exchange②

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

In the early morning, the fiery red sun slowly rose from one end of the horizon. The night gradually ended, and a ray of bright sunlight shone onto Mengyue's face through the gap in the curtains.

"Hmm...it's morning already...ha..."

Although there was no alarm clock, Mengyue was very punctual due to the good habits she had developed in her daily life. She yawned and slowly opened her eyes.

Anyway, let's go wake up Yamai and the others first. We played fighting games together until so late yesterday, those two guys must not have woken up yet...

While muttering some trivial daily things, Meng Yue rubbed her eyes. Then when her vision became completely clear, Meng Yue was stunned.

——A strange ceiling.

No, no, no, I'm not playing the old-fashioned pinching game. This is the real thing.

Whether it is the ceiling, the walls, or the surrounding decorations, the layout here is quite different from the elf apartment that Meng Yue brought. How to say it... The overall layout is like the room of a strong and capable woman, but the room is cluttered with all kinds of household items, like a room where a nerd lives.

"Well... although there aren't many of them, they are all high-quality items... Hey, these aren't what I should be concerned about right now."

Meng Yue put down the game software in her hand and came back to her senses and couldn't help but complain about herself for being distracted for a moment.

All in all, this is definitely not my room...but why am I here?

Meng Yue couldn't help but frown in thought. In her memory, after she spent some dinner time chatting with Shidao, Tohka and other elves, the Yamai sisters came to play a duel game with her because they were bored, but when the time was almost up, she just went back to her room to sleep.

DEM abduction... It doesn't seem right. Could it be some special program that Shidou and the others prepared? They used Ratatoskr's space transfer device to transfer me to this place while I was sleeping, and then prepared to start some surprise activities?

Although it feels a bit unclear, this is the only possible explanation that fits my situation.

"Well...anyway, let's just let it be."

Meng Yue sighed, saying that blind speculation without any information would not lead to any correct answer.

Since she was still wearing the pajamas she wore yesterday, Mengyue came to the closet in this room to see if there was anything she could wear.

"Uh...why do I sense a subtle malice?"

The corners of Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly.

The wardrobe didn't contain any malicious cosplay clothes such as nurses, witches, and bunny girls. It was just a few sets of black windbreakers and two sets of summer and winter uniforms that looked like those of a famous girls' school in anime. They were neatly folded and put away. Although it was a bit hard to understand why the original owner was so obsessed with this combination, it wasn't a particularly strange outfit.

"How come this dress is exactly the same as my spiritual dress..."

With a little confusion and entanglement, Meng Yue took off her pajamas and put on this outfit which was quite familiar in some sense. After looking at herself in the mirror, she said something strange.

"Could it be that the protagonist of the fan fiction that guy mentioned at the time was finally recognized by the world... but this turned out to be the room of the so-called fanatic fan who likes to cosplay this character."

After pondering for a moment, Meng Yue shook her head helplessly and said self-deprecatingly, "How is it possible? Even if I traveled through time, this kind of thing would probably not happen." (Author: "Well, my heart hurts.")

Then, she walked out of the room, looked around the layout of the corridor, and thought about where she was. Unknowingly, Mengyue came to the living room of the house.

"Hey, you got up really early today."

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from the sofa. It seemed that someone was talking to her, and Meng Yue frowned in confusion.

"Um... I'm sorry I don't quite understand the current situation. Can you tell me where this is?"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? You're still sleepy so early in the morning, you bastard."

The man lying on the sofa responded in a rude tone that made Mengyue feel a little dissatisfied, and then slowly stood up. He rubbed his hair that looked like a sharp blade after fading, and stared at Mengyue with scarlet eyes.

"..."Then, Meng Yue showed an expression of disbelief on her face, staring at the other person with her eyes fixed.

"What? What's that look in your eyes? If you want to fight, I can't guarantee that I will show mercy."

The white-haired boy (?) challenged Meng Yue in a bad tone, then saw that the other party did not fight back as usual, and said something strange.

"Hey, what's with all the weird silence? What weird ideas are you thinking of again? Let me tell you, I'm not in the mood to accompany you..."

“Well… that… Accelerator?”

"Why do you use a question mark when you say my name?"

"What? The two of them were chatting secretly while Misaka was away. How cunning! Misaka wants to join in too. Misaka Misaka joined in with the momentum of acting first and reporting later."

At this moment, a very lively voice suddenly sounded from behind. Mengyue instinctively turned her head and found that a ten-year-old little loli who looked a bit like herself... no, it should be said that she looked a bit like Misaka Mikoto in the anime was flying towards her.
