After hanging up the “phone call” with Eluke and Hubie, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I expected, nothing changed at home.

Eluko, Hubie and the others were still safe and sound, Xia Zhi was staying in her room chatting with her classmates, and even the kitten was working hard to complete the remaining 1,300 laps of the cat wheel training for the day.

Due to the filmization of space and time caused by the effect of the Doomsday Camera, any changes made in the past cannot affect them who are in another plane of space and time.

Not to mention, whether it is Eluk, Shubi, or Xia Zhi, they have all restrained their existence under the effect of the “Pseudo-Cosmos” and have escaped from the timeline. Even if the space-time form of the real world is normal, it is impossible to be affected by the changes in the past…

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi was suddenly stunned for a moment.

…Wait, is this the reason why Xia Zhi did not appear in this historical time and space?

“elder brother?”

Just then, a girl’s voice came from behind.

Xia Zhi turned around and saw the red-haired girl standing at the stairs, looking at him in confusion.

“Why are you standing here? Is there something wrong in the utility room?”

“…”

Looking at the petite figure of the red-haired girl in front of him, Xia Zhi came to his senses again.

The reason for Xia Zhi’s “disappearance” is now known, but the original question remains unanswered.

…Why did Kotori appear here, and why did she become her sister?

As Xia Zhi thought to himself, his eyes fell on the hairband of her twin ponytails…the white ribbon.

“Kotori…”

After thinking about it, he asked out loud.

“Ok?”

“Do you remember where that ribbon came from?”

“This?” The girl touched her hairband and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you give it to me on my birthday?”

This memory is right…

Xia Zhi thought about it, changed the subject and asked, “What’s your last name?”

“Of course it’s Gokawa.”

The girl answered as a matter of course, somewhat confused as to why he would ask such a question.

I feel like my brother is so weird today.

She thought doubtfully and asked casually, “Brother, do you want me to have the same last name as you?”

“If you’re willing, it’s not impossible.” Xia Zhi replied.

The girl blushed slightly and stuck out her tongue at him: “You wish.”

Without paying attention to the previous doubts, she pushed the boy towards the corridor and said, “Okay, let’s go to school quickly!”

There is a disadvantage of going back to the past… I have to go through the same studies again.

“Actually, I have already learned all the courses for this year.” Xia Zhi said after thinking about it.

“What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to ask for leave, at least find a better reason.” The girl obviously didn’t believe it.

“…I haven’t packed my schoolbag yet.”

“…”

Kotori knew it. This guy didn’t even bother to think of an excuse for not wanting to go to school, right?

After saying “I’ll help you clean up”, Xia Zhi was half-heartedly pushed into the bathroom by her to wash up.

It took quite some time for the two of them to finally get ready to go out.

After arriving at the door, Xia Zhi soon discovered new changes.

…Not only the identity, but also the corresponding existence has changed?

Looking at the doorplate that originally should have read “Beiyuan” but had changed to “Wuhe”, Xia Zhi thought to himself:

If we simply pull the corresponding historical fragments, why would such changes occur?

This situation reminded him of the application of the power of existence in Shana’s world, which was called “existence replacement”.

However, similar situations have never occurred in previous experiences… Although it may be caused by its own particularity, this effect is incompatible with the characteristics that I originally imagined, and it does not seem to be a different manifestation of the same characteristic.

Could it be another hidden feature?

…There are more and more doubts that give me a headache. He sighed slightly.

But apart from this, there is some good news.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the bicycle parked in the courtyard that he hadn’t seen for a long time. Xia Zhi’s heart was filled with emotion.

Right, my beloved car that I haven’t seen for a long time.

…….

Chapter 1215: The Girl as White as Paper

“Heh~heh~”

On the way to school, Xia Zhi was riding his bicycle, listening to the girl humming happily behind him, and he couldn’t help feeling a little nostalgic.

The experience of riding a bike to take my sister to school like this feels like it was a long time ago… Now that I’m experiencing it again after such a long time, I inexplicably feel like my youth has returned.

…but the “sister” in the back of the car is a little different.

“By the way, brother… have you grown a little taller recently?”

Kotori hugged his waist and asked him curiously.

“It’s normal for teenage boys to develop faster, right?” Xia Zhi answered nonchalantly.

The girl thought about it and it seemed so.

just

She lowered her head and looked at herself… Even though the boy said “boy”, she still felt that she was inexplicably AOEed.

“……snort.”

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but Qinli held the lollipop in her mouth, her cheeks slightly puffed up, and she hummed softly.

Following the route he remembered, Xia Zhi sent the girl to the gate of her school.

“You can’t quarrel with your classmates, and you can’t disobey your teacher. If you have any problems, call me.”

Before leaving, Xia Zhi gave her some instructions.

“I see. Do I look like someone who would argue with my classmates?” The girl showed a dissatisfied expression.

In fact, Xia Zhi wanted to remind you of the last sentence, and the previous ones were just casual remarks.

After thinking about it, he added another sentence to confirm and asked:

“Do you have my cell phone number?”

“Of course. How could I not have your number?”

Kotori said, with a puzzled look on her face:

“Brother, you look so weird today.”

Xia Zhi didn’t care about her words.

“besides……”

He reached out and took two lollipops from the pile of lollipops in the girl’s pocket.

“You can’t eat too much candy in a day.”

“what……”

Qin Li made a reluctant sound and subconsciously reached out for the candy, but Xia Zhi raised his hand to avoid it.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get it back, she finally had to give up.

“…If someone else had robbed a girl of her personal property in the street, he would definitely have been arrested as a perverted robber, right?”

I’m really grateful to you for not being arrested.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and flicked her head gently:

“Okay, let’s go in and go to class.”

The girl covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue at him.

“Then brother, see you this afternoon~”

After saying hello and goodbye to him, Kotori turned around and ran into the school.

“…”

After watching the girl enter the school gate, Xia Zhi did not leave immediately. He tore open the outer packaging of the lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the address book to look through it.

Just like the clothes I wore in the morning, this phone also belongs to my “present” self. It came with me to this time and space, and it stores many phone numbers that I don’t have at this time.

After a quick search, Xia Zhi quickly found the number he was looking for, the one with the note “Teacher Madoka”.

…Come to think of it, my homeroom teacher in the first year of high school didn’t seem to be Mr. Mafuyu, right? He suddenly realized something.

Despite this, after thinking about it, Xia Zhi still made the call.

After waiting for a while, a phone prompt tone came from the receiver, saying “The number you dialed is not in service.”

Hearing this response, Xia Zhi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like in Natsuori’s case, for him, the fact that Manfuyu is not in this time and space is not bad news. On the contrary, if she is in this time and space, things will be troublesome.

After feeling relieved, Xia Zhi’s eyes fell on the number with the note “Black Long Straight Hair” at the back. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to dial the number.

Although I know that Yukino’s situation is likely to be similar to Natsuori and the others, it would be more reassuring to confirm it a little bit.

Summer Solstice thought like this

However, to his surprise, the call was connected?

Looking at the “Connected” prompt displayed on the phone, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

“……Hello?”

While he was stunned, a girl’s calm and uninflected voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Sorry, wrong number.”

Xia Zhi said this and immediately hung up the phone.

The connection status displayed on the phone changed to “Hang up”. After waiting for a while, the other party did not call back, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“…”

It wasn’t really nonsense, he really did dial the wrong number.

Although the tone was similar, Xia Zhi could tell that it was not Yukino’s voice.

On the contrary, it’s more like another person…

Xia Zhi put away his phone.

He originally didn’t plan to go to school, but he changed his mind and rode his bike to the familiar school. Because the delay was not too long, he was not even late.

However, Xia Zhi did not go to his own class, but followed the route he remembered and came to the door of Yukino’s class.

“……etc.”

Looking at the doorplate hanging above the classroom, Xia Zhi suddenly realized something.

Come to think of it, he didn’t seem to know which class Yukino was in in her first year of high school before the class division?

“Summer Solstice.”

Just as he was thinking, a familiar and calm voice came from behind him.

Xia Zhi turned around and saw a slender girl standing at the other end of the corridor.
