When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

On the square, the last time-traveling army was turned into ashes under the sword of Fusangshen, scattered in the wind, and disappeared.

The Sword Fusangshen put away their swords and returned their sheaths, and looked at Minan Rinka who appeared in the white light and was wearing a priestess costume.

Minan Rinka, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume, smiled and said, "The mission is complete. Now everyone go back to Honmaru, and I'll be right back."

As soon as the words fell, a firework exploded suddenly in the blade group, which shocked many swords.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was wearing a white battle uniform, cheerfully held the firework cannon, grabbed the blade and asked, "Are you scared? Are you..."

Minan Rinka, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume, was silent for a moment: "Tsuraru, I think you might as well stay here..."

[System prompt: Tsurumaru Kuninaga's palpitation value +120]

The white light of spiritual power flashed again.The little knives clapped each other's hands, and ran into the transmission channel with white light flashing after each other.Immediately after, the ones who entered in twos and threes were Wakizashi, Dadao and other swords.More stable types of knives such as tachi, naginata, and guns lined up to enter one by one.

After the swords entered the transmission channel one after another, the white light was still flashing steadily, but Minan Rinka, who was wearing a priestess costume, did not enter the channel together, but turned around and looked towards the floor-to-ceiling glass of the building.

Her gaze met Nakahara Nakaya, who was wearing a heavy radio wave blocking suit and a helmet inside the building.Afterwards, Minan Rinka, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume, turned and walked towards the building.

She stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows covered with Asuka Ikiji's energy membrane.There was only a layer of glass between them, she smiled and said, "Hi, Chuya."

"Rinka?" Nakahara Chu also looked at the face of Minan Rinka who was wearing a shrine maiden costume.Those were indeed familiar facial features, but they were slightly different from the face of Minan Rinka he was used to seeing.

He subconsciously looked at Minan Rinhua who was still sleeping in his arms.

Minan Rinka outside the window seemed to see through the thoughts in his heart, and couldn't help being happy: "Don't look at it, both of them are me. But the me you are holding is the same me as your timeline, and now and The me you are talking about is the me two years later compared to you."

[System prompt: Zhongyuan Zhongye's palpitation value +300]

Nakahara finally understood the source of the subtle difference he noticed from the face of Minan Rinka in the shrine maiden uniform.After two years, it is impossible for Minan Rinka to look exactly like the 16-year-old Minan Rinka.

"Did you come back to this moment from the future?" Zhong Yuan frowned through the helmet mask, still a little puzzled, "Why?"

Two years later, Minan Rinka replied as if he had guessed that he would ask this question: "That's right. Two years later, the war between the Time Government and the Time Revisionists is coming to an end. An overwhelming victory has been achieved. But in order to restore the decline, the time revisionists are dying, using the remaining remnants to carry out an assassination plan, and the targets of the assassination are some of the high-level Honmaru gods they can obtain relevant information."

"Did they go back to the past to assassinate you?" Zhong Yuanzhong also gradually understood why the time-traveling army chose to appear in this time period, and why their strength was so much weaker than that of Infinite City.After all, this is the last part of the remnant soldiers.

"Yeah." Minan Rinka nodded two years later, "So I decided to save myself two years ago and maintain my own history."

"My mission has been completed, so I will trouble you to take care of me who was still in a coma two years ago." She pointed at Nakahara Nakaya's self two years ago through the glass, and said cheerfully, "Little brother."

God damn little brother?

[System prompt: Zhongyuan Zhongye's palpitation value +193]

"You'll be fine in two years?" Zhong Yuanzhong asked uncomfortably, "What's your name, brother?"

Two years later, Minan Rinhua was happy: "You will know soon, hehe..."

Minan Rinka two years later is also quite palpitating.At that time, Zhong Yuanzhong felt that the whole person was not well.

[System prompt: Zhongyuan Zhongye's palpitation value +200]

"What happened in these two years?" he asked. "What will Yokohama be like two years from now?"

To his surprise, Minan Rinka shook her head two years later: "I can't tell you about this."

"Chuya, you should have discovered that the teleportation compass of the Government of Time can only send the god judge and the sword man to the past, but not to the future."

"The future has an observer effect in quantum mechanics." Minan Rinka said two years later, "In the timeline, certain key points in time are like support points for a certain period of time. God judges, swords We and the government of time are essentially time travelers, and we must consciously avoid observing those key time points in the "future" relative to ourselves. Once a certain form of the future is fully observed, then this future It cannot be changed. Otherwise, there will be a powerful space-time paradox capable of destroying the entire timeline. This is also the reason why all the transmission compass gears of the Government of Time can only move towards the past and cannot move towards the future. "

"That is to say, the observed future will not be able to be changed... Is this the case?" Zhong Yuan quickly grasped the point and asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Minan Rinka nodded two years later, "So even if the Government of Time approved my rescue operation two years ago, I didn't allow me to disclose to anyone the relationship with that person's future. details."

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't speak any more.

Even if Minan Rinka cannot reveal to him any information related to the future him two years later, he still has a glimpse of part of the future from the fact of her appearance.

That is, Minan Rinka, who fell into a coma at this point in time, will wake up without incident, and the war she has devoted herself to for many years is about to win a complete victory.

It's just that I don't know what the future of Zhongyuanzhong will be like, which makes the current Zhongyuanzhong feel a little regretful.

"The general situation is like this." Two years later, Minan Rinka looked back at the transmission channel that was still shining with white light of spiritual power, waved at Zhongyuan Zhongya, and said with a smile, "It's not early, I have to I'm going back, goodbye."

"Ah, again..." Nakahara just wanted to say goodbye, but his gaze stayed on Minan Rinka's hand two years later, and he couldn't move away.

On her finger was a silver ring that he was very familiar with.

It was the ring that he was hiding in the sleeve of his bathrobe and hadn't been able to give it away yet.

This will be their future.The observed future cannot be changed.

At this point in time Minan Rinka fell into a coma, Dazai Osamu and others were on the other side of the building, but Nakahara Chuya was awake and able to observe everything.

Minan Rinka knew this two years later, but she still wore the ring when performing the mission.

……

As Minan Rinka walked into the space-time passage two years later, the white light gradually faded, and the square behind the building fell into silence again, as if nothing happened there from beginning to end.

Chuya Nakahara was staring blankly at the empty square when the wireless communication circuit suddenly made a "sand" sound and was connected by Osamu Dazai.

"Hey, Chuya, are you listening?" Dazai Osamu's voice came from the sound outlet of the helmet.

"Ah, I heard it." Nakahara Zhongya replied subconsciously, "What's the matter?"

"It's good if you can hear it. The communication circuit seems to have broken down just now, and it can't be connected anyway." Dazai Osamu said, "Master Baiki has met Asuki Iki just now, and he is escorting her back to Wang In the pool of the female elephant center. It is estimated that in about 30 seconds, Asuki Ikiji's ability rampage will be over."

"Oh!" Zhong Yuanzhong also came back to his senses.He quickly put Minan Rinhua back on the sofa, who was asleep, and sat beside him.

He counted the seconds slowly in his heart, sweat dripping from his heavy gloved hands.

Suddenly, the soap-bubble-like energy membrane covering the "warehouse" facility building flickered a few times before disappearing completely.Without the cover of the energy film, the night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows looked extremely clear.

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his hand and took off his stuffy helmet.He turned his head and stared at Minan Rinka's sleeping face without blinking.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's slender eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she opened her blue eyes.

The appearance of Nakahara Chuya in heavy protective clothing was vaguely reflected in front of his eyes.

"Zhongye...?" Minan Rinhua opened her mouth and called softly.

"It's me." Nakahara Zhongya finally breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a hoarse voice.

Minan Rinka finally came to her senses, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.She sat up on the sofa, put her arms around his neck, and buried her face in the heavy radio wave blocking suit on his shoulders.

"You can't leave me, absolutely not." She said muffled, with a hint of nasal in her voice.

Nakahara was also silent for a moment, raised his hand, gently hugged Minan Rinka with his gloved hand, and patted her on the back.

"I know," he said, "it will not."

"Because without me, your life would be in danger." Minan Rinka continued, "I didn't say that to monopolize you."

"Really?" Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little surprised, but still followed her words, "So that's the case. But it doesn't matter if you think that way."

There was a moment of silence.

"Zhongye." Minan Rinhua suddenly spoke again.

"What's wrong?" Nakahara asked.

"Your clothes stink," she said.

[System prompt: Zhongyuan Zhongye's palpitation value +150]

"It stinks, just lift your face up." Zhong Yuan raised his hand, sniffed his sleeves, and found that there was a special smell on the surface of the radio wave blocking suit that had been kept in a confined space for a long time.He was so anxious to put it on that he didn't even notice the smell of it.

"No." Minan Rinka shook her head while keeping her head buried on his shoulder, "I don't want you to see me crying, shame on me."

Zhong Yuanzhong also exhaled slowly, and suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably.He laughed so hard that the arms supporting Minan Rinka were shaking.

"How did you become like this?" He said with a smile, "It's the same for you who don't want to be seen crying by me, and the same for me who wears stinky clothes..."

"Obviously I was planning to enjoy the summer festival, but it turned out like this in the end, it's really... not good, we..."
