Chapter 2 Happy April Fool's Day desu, although it was yesterday
The loneliness and grievances of being inexplicably locked up for more than a year brought together Kolotia's indescribable excitement, full of whining and complaining, and formed a very simple thought:
"Thank God, I finally met someone......"
Colotia looked up and down at the blonde double-ponytailed Lori in front of her, who claimed to be "Shadow", and looked very cute with a panicked look. However, the thought that she had been locked up for a year made this little figure become hateful, and people wanted to pinch her face...... Well, it's still cute.
[I'm really hopeless as a visual creature......]
Kolotia sighed quietly in her heart. However, there is indeed a considerable gap between the real image of the "shadow" and the image that Colotia once imagined, and it should be a powerful, omnipotent, and detached being from the material world, but in fact it is a small dot that does not seem very reliable, which makes Colotia unable to regain the awe of the past anyway.
"No, don't pinch your face......!"
However, while Kolotia was thinking, the shadow took three steps back in alarm.
"Huh......?" Kolotia's eyes narrowed, "I've thought about it a long time ago, and you can really read my thoughts?" β
"Not anymore, but the gaze is terrifying."
β¦β¦
Kolotia couldn't imagine how fierce her gaze could be, to make a guy who "seemed to be a god" scare him back three steps in a row.
Kolotia closed her eyes, then took a deep breath, forcing her mind to "accept it as it is." As the saying goes, now that the worldview is almost completely shattered, Kolotia feels that she has accepted whatever is happening:
"Well...... Forget it, I have to introduce what the hell is going on, right? What is this place and who are you? β
"You don't pinch me?"
"So why did you decide that I was going to pinch you?"
"Looks."
"Tell the truth."
"A gut feeling that has been pinched too much."
"It's even worse!"
Kolotia hides her face - the kid claims to be her boss, and Kolotia hasn't forgotten it.
Is this guy who starts to exude the aura of "I'm a good bully" as soon as they meet really okay as a boss?
"Okay, I got it." After taking a deep breath, Colotia gathered her thoughts and asked a question that was easier to answer with a kind expression and tone: "What is the Temporal Authority?" What is the Virtual World Control Center? Is this a question that can be answered? Yes...... By the way, let's sit in first, it's not good to stand at the door. β
"You really don't pinch me?"
"Hey! That's enough! β

"The Time and Space Administration is an organization established by a developed civilization [on a confidential matter], and its responsibility is to observe and guide the development of different civilizations, to eliminate members of higher-level civilizations from maliciously interfering with low-level civilizations, and to prevent low-level civilizations from developing too dangerous and their abilities to control them for the time being...... In short, it is an organization that is more inclined to observe and control the discovery and control of low-level civilizations that [confidentiality] have jurisdiction over. Well, in layman's terms, it's probably 'a police officer who specializes in protecting and managing elementary and junior high school students'. β
"No, no, it's better not to talk so colloquially...... It's sad to understand this thing. β
"Huh......? Is it? Shadow tilted his head, "That's weird, I thought you were a very inquisitive person." β
"No, it's better not to dwell on this kind of thing now." Kolotia interrupted the shadow in time, "I actually want to know more about this world now...... How to get back to Earth? In other words, the world and the earth should not be in the same universe, right......? β
"Well, how do you define the words 'universe' and 'world'? It seems like you don't know what to define? β
"......" Kolotia was stunned for a moment, and then could only nod silently: "Indeed......"
"I'm not a good person to explain anyway, but the world you were in before was not on the same level as Earth. Well, that's probably what you mean, 'not in the same universe', and the distance between the two worlds is not something that can be described by the concepts of 'time' or 'space'. But to explain...... I don't know what to say, after all, you still lack a lot of concepts......" When it comes to specific things, the shadows do seem a little more inscrutable than before.
"Anyway, you can still go back to Earth?" Kolotia asked in surprise.
Obviously, she had forgotten what she was like now, and even if she returned to Earth, it would be a proper anomaly.
"It's not impossible to go to Earth. But there's one thing you might get wrong...... Earth is not a place for you to 'return to'. All of you have some misunderstandings about what happened to you. In fact, you were not 'teleported' from Earth into this world. Rather, it has been 'copied' into this world, and the original 'Earth' as you understand it is now functioning well...... By the way, as a 'original', you're now studying painting, so do you want to see your recent works? I do have that permission......"
"No, please don't say any more! I'm not interested in what I'm drawingβ"
Because she knew her own interests and thoughts too well, Kolotia, who had always thought she was calm, couldn't keep her composure at all.
"Eh, you suddenly look so excited?"
"Nothing." Kolotia took a deep breath - she really did a lot of it today - and struggled to squeeze out a (terrible to the others) smile, "Let's talk about something else, shall we?" β
"Huh?! Angry? Are you angry because you are copying? Wow, I knew I shouldn't have said that......"
It was evident that the timid boss was frightened by Miss Kolotia again.
"No, it's nothing, it's really nothing. Please don't mind, I'm really not angry. Just a little surprised...... Who created this world, and why did it do such a thing? β
"Ah...... This one. Actually, it's quite troublesome, anyway, maybe some bear kid stole his father's world generator and then made some modifications - ah, speaking of that bear kid, it's really a headache, ordinary civilian energy devices can still be modified like that, is this really something that a middle school student can do? Isn't that a nuisance...... I'll just say, the current network should also be controlled at different levels, how can everything be searched...... In this way, the Space-Time Administration Bureau can't control it at all, and even so, it still has to transfer the already insufficient manpower...... The guys above don't know the suffering of our grassroots employees at all. β
In this way, speaking of which, the shadow lady, who was originally very weak, exuded an aura of exhaustion and impatience, and the broken thoughts that had not been played seemed to be unable to stop for a while.
#####
Yesterday's update turned out to be so many people taking it seriously!
Anyway, I didn't finish it yesterday, and I made it up today.
Uh-huh.
Don't hit me, don't hit me......
It's not like that's the end of it.
It depends, how do you say it...... Are you sure you can really accept this April Fool's Day joke as a text?
If I want to continue writing like this, it's really fine.
That's right, that's fine...... Probably.
