It was the time of high tide, and on the way back, Lola seemed to be very happy, and she raised her feet very high. Seems to be humming a song? "What's the matter, are you so happy?" I asked him. "That's right! Because now I've finally found a companion! ”

She turned her face to me triumphantly. "Is that me?" Lola nodded vigorously at my question. Immediately afterward, she took a big step, and before she knew it, she was walking faster. I had to cooperate with her, and I took a big step.

After a while, the eyes of the people around us were focused on us, and they all looked at us with smiles. Honestly, this feeling of being in the spotlight made my shame more and more apparent, and I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

However, Lola seemed to enjoy the atmosphere, and she even kept waving to the crowd on the way. The look of joy on my face was the opposite of the way I was so overwhelmed that I didn't know what to put on it.

This also makes me feel a little weird. But Lola poked me in the face with the tip of her free right finger, and then quickly wrote in the notebook. I couldn't help but stop to wait for her.

"Why do you have a bitter gourd face?"

She seemed to be a little dissatisfied with my cold attitude, and looked at my face with a somewhat unhappy expression and asked. "Because I'm not used to the vibe." I took her notebook and pen and wrote down the answer directly after the question she asked.

"Huh?"

She took her notebook and stared at my answer for a few moments, then let out a sigh-like sound. "Okay." Then we walked through the shopping street, away from the crowds.

After that, you can see the residential area that is almost connected to the shopping street, and now you can see the lights from almost every window. - If you look closely, you can see a figure by the window. At this point, I noticed that one of them seemed to be waving in our direction.

"That's Aster, right?" Lola excitedly patted me on the shoulder, then grabbed my hand and shook it. There was a twinkle in his eyes...... "yes, maybe?" I couldn't help but focus my eyes on the figure again, saying.

This time, a faint glow like a flashlight appeared in the direction of the vague figure, and then landed at our feet like a parabola. I looked in the direction of the light, and it turned out that it was really Aster standing there.

When she found out about the two of us, Shion seemed to be relieved. "Are you going to spend the night in that kind of place?!" Then I heard her very annoyed voice. I had to wave my hand in her direction, and then put down ...... "Alas, get ready to be scolded......

I couldn't help but think so, and after a few bitter laughs in my heart, I took Lola upstairs with me.

"We're back—" Lola seemed to hold on to my arm as she walked through the dark hallway. As he walked, he looked around. Even the footsteps aren't very coherent anymore...... It made me a little nervous too.

The only light at this time was the moonlight that ran in through the corridor window and fell sporadically on the ground. Lola kept leaning towards me, as if she wanted to be tied to me. It wasn't until we finally crossed the hallway that she let go of my arm. My breathing is much more stable than it was just now......

"Where the hell have you gone?" But as soon as I changed my shoes, the moment I raised my head, I saw Aster's angry face. "Nothing, just a moment at the beach." I explained to her. At this time, Lola nodded vigorously beside her.

"By the sea?"

At this time, she was a little surprised and let us in, "Why?" I continued as I walked into the living room, "I'll tell you about it next." About both of us. ”

With that, I sat down on the couch, some distance from Izumi and Shion, and sat on the couch on the right. "What's going on? Chihiro? Zion's expression became serious, and her tone changed slightly. Do you have something to hide from us? ”

I nodded, and we both met eye contact as I continued as I watched her expression change. "It's the same topic just now, in fact, when I found Lola at the beach, she told me that she also received that kind of text message just like me."

"You mean the text messages that can make you start your life all over again?"

Shion's eyes widened, and her puzzled gaze circled back and forth between the two of us several times, "Really? At this point, Lola took out her phone from the left pocket of her clothes and opened it to show her the address book—the most prominent place on it was that there were several text messages with the exact same content as mine.

"Do you want to do it all over again?"

It's just a slightly different way of saying it. But the fundamental meaning has not changed. At this time, Izumi couldn't help but turn his face over, and his gaze crossed Shion's shoulder to the small mobile phone screen. "In other words, ...... can this really be done?"

Shion couldn't help but muttered and sighed. Then, she closed her eyes and slowly opened them, her gaze returning to my face again. "May I ask a question?" At this moment, a trace of hesitation crossed her eyes.

"Please."

I waited patiently for her next sentence.

"If such a text message is true, then it means that you are not originally from this world, right?" After she finished speaking, she calmly sought answers from me. "I don't know." I shook my head and told her in a regretful voice. "For me, it's 10 years ago. That's all I know now......"

I looked away from her face and lowered my head slightly. "I don't know if this is another world, or if the time of the original world has been set back 10 years......" At this point, my voice gradually lowered.

"It's like turning back the hands of a clock for 10 years? No matter how you think about this kind of thing—" Shion couldn't help but want to deny my words again, but she didn't say anything more than halfway through. Instead, a couple of questions were posed to me.

"Chihiro, you once said that you have a sister. I think it's called Natsume, right? ”

I slowly looked up, "Yes. Affirmed her words in a somewhat lost voice. If it's really just a 10-year rewind in the world you're in, then why isn't she here? ”

Shion stretched out a finger and said seriously and naturally. "What was Natsume like 10 years ago?" She seemed to take into account my emotions and deliberately picked a lighter question at this time.

"She was still in junior high school at the time."

Thanks to her expression, my expression is really much softened at this time, and my breathing is not as messy as it was just now. "If it's really like you said, this is the world you were originally in 10 years ago, then she should be there, but now, that's not the case, right?"

As if to comfort me, Shion's tone became much softer. "In other words, this is not the same world as Chihiro. You're really in another world! ”

At this time, Izumi also interjected from the side. She looked excited, completely ignoring the look of loss I was showing now. There was a sparkle in his eyes...... Lola had a look on her face that she didn't know what to say. The nervousness, apprehension, and hesitation that had been up to now were all destroyed by her simple words.

"If you think about it, isn't that a great thing?!" Unconsciously, Izumi's mood gradually rose. "I'd like to try it too, if I can!" Then she approached me, put her hand on my shoulder, and said.

"There can't be such a good thing, right? Right, Chihiro? Otherwise, your expression wouldn't have been so ugly—" Shion asked me in her own voice, overshadowing Izumi's voice. "Yes, the price of my coming into this world and gaining a healthy body is—"

"It's just that I lost my voice."

At this time, Lola stopped me by tugging at the corner of my shirt, and then used the words written in the notebook to tell Shion and Izumi the truth that they had been hiding all along. Suddenly, Izumi was stunned, and Shion was silent. "That's right—" It took a while for the two of them to seem to come to terms with the fact. At the same time, the expressions are a little dark.

Needless to say, you must be feeling sorry for your best friend, right? "Chihiro, don't you just say 'healthy body'......" At this time, Izumi came over and asked me in a whisper, but she turned her face in a direction that I couldn't see. It's like, wondering whether to ask me such a question.

"That's right, I had to live in a wheelchair in my old world. Without it, you can't go anywhere. ”

Maybe too surprised, right? Izumi, who turned her face back, blinked—she looked at me and couldn't say anything. That overwhelmed look made me feel a little embarrassed. "Scaring you? I'm sorry—"

She immediately waved her hand and said, "It's just a little surprised." You don't have to apologize! Then, after taking a few more deep breaths, he looked at my face seriously again and said, "It's not a big deal!" ”

Then, I saw her sun-like smile again.

"That's it! If you think so, it's too out-of-the-box, isn't it? Chihiro. Immediately afterwards, Shion also expressed her dissatisfaction with what I had just said. She looked genuinely angry. "Even if you do what you say, my attitude towards you will not change."

She approached me, stopped just one step in front of me, and pointed to my face. Tell me seriously...... "I knew you would say that!" At this moment, Lola rushed over from the side and hugged her. Rubbing her face like a cat......

Suddenly, Shion, who was full of disgust and even felt a little disgusted, pushed Lola away with her hand and turned her face to me again. "Chihiro, if we parse that text message, we might be able to find out where it came from."

"But, how?"

In an instant, I was surprised and asked, "But, how?" At this time, I could hardly hide the confusion and wavering in my voice, "Tomorrow, I'll go and ask Teacher Xia Fan to take a look." Her expression became serious as she spoke, "Maybe it can help you find a way back." ”

They even forgot to let go of my hand.

"And, the true face of that woman."

"The woman?" I couldn't help but tilt my head, puzzled by her words, "That's the woman who keeps calling you!" After saying that, she seemed a little unconvinced......

"Can it really go this way?" I thought to myself as I thanked Shion.
