Eri's daily life

Koike Chikusa...?never heard before.

"Is this my dream?" I asked her.

Koike Chikusa said with a smile: "You can say yes, or you can say no."

What the hell, is there still such a mysterious saying these days?

Seeing my expression, Koike Chikusa couldn't help but chuckled: "Eri is really different. She doesn't feel like a four-year-old."

ha?Talk like you know the four-year-old group well.I'm fish-eyed.

"Also, Eri really has a very strong heart. Even the betrayal of relatives can..."

As soon as she said that, I remembered what Rintaro had done, and the tears began to fall again.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry." Koike Chikusa hurriedly hugged and patted me, "Don't cry, Eri."

"Eri, once you know the truth, you will never cry about these things again..." Koike Chikusa said something unclear, but gently stroked my back with her hand.

After I calmed down, she began to speak: "Eili, my supernatural ability is to weave dreams, so it can be said to be your dream or not."

I listened to her in a daze, I still don't know much about supernatural powers.

"Eili, your supernatural power has emotional resonance, I believe you already know its function."

I nodded hesitantly.

I was still waiting for her to say some key information, but Koike Chikusa sat down relaxed and began to chat about family affairs.

"Eri, what do you want to do in the future?"

As soon as I mentioned this, I got excited: "Of course it's the police, the policeman Eri Mori!"

Koike Chikusa showed a surprised expression: "I guess you haven't told Mori Ogai about your dream."

Mori Ogai?who.

She realized something, and added: "Moritaro."

Oh, him.

"No." My intuition has been reminding me not to talk about it, so Rintaro still doesn't know about my dream.

Koike Chikusa showed a sad expression again, she looked at me as if she had foreseen the failure of my dream.

I pouted angrily: "What do you mean!"

She patted my head comfortingly, and said comfortingly, "It's nothing, I just wonder why Eri wants to be a policeman."

"Of course I want everyone to smile happily and help others!" I waved my fist.

Koike Chikusa showed an expression I couldn't understand again, and I could feel her hands trembling slightly.

I went forward and held her trembling hand with a serious expression: "Hi, I'm a policeman, and my name is Mori Eri. May I help you?"

Tears welled up in her eyes and were about to fall. Her thin body seemed to be trembling under tremendous pressure.

She bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she burst into tears as soon as she uttered it. After calming down for a while, she said, "...Even if it's a very, very, very, very difficult thing, can you do it, Officer Eili?"

The police officer Huili's call really touched my heart, and I responded sweetly.

"Okay, the policeman Mori Eri can do anything!"

Koike Chikusa suddenly didn't know whether to say it or not. She was looking for the singularity of time and space, and she had decided to tell the other party the truth before that—it was also because of the special status of the other party that she would not be completely controlled by the "world".

But she didn't expect that it would be a child, a child with a righteous heart who was controlled by Mori Ogai.

What should she do?I originally planned to pour out all the pressure, but now...

Koike Chikusa wiped away the tears on her face, and looked at me with gray eyes like fog: "Then Officer Eri, please keep the justice in your heart."

"Of course!"

Koike Chikusa smiled weakly, she had already decided to take the child out, and then she had to face everything next by herself.

She was seventeen and her brother was eighteen.

The world is really ruthless.

----

I woke up, and everything in the dream was very clearly displayed in my mind.

Koike Chikusa?Well, she will be my friend from now on, after all, she is the first person to admit my identity as a policeman, so I, Eri Mori, don't care too much!

But as soon as I woke up, the pain of broken fingers invaded my brain, and I couldn't help crying out.

"Eri-chan, are you okay?" Mori Ogai's big face was facing me.

Ah, why is this person still appearing in front of me!

"You...!" I was so angry that I wanted to entertain him all the swear words I had learned, but when I opened my mouth, tears fell down.

Why are you doing this to me, Rintaro.

Aren't we dependent relatives?

Also, do you know that you are endangering minors by doing this, be careful and I will call the police!

In the end I said nothing, not a word to him.

Mori Ogai was silent for a while, reaching out to comb my hair as usual.

I hit him with a "snap".

What are you doing!

"...Eri-chan, you don't know how many lives you will save." He said.

I'm really too immature, my nature Mori Ogai has already felt it clearly.

Tolerance, justice, compassion, optimism.

It is the best character to handle, as long as you take a hostage, you can make me submit obediently.

Sometimes looking at Mori Eri, Mori Ogai would wonder how his genes could give birth to such a child.

As if born to belong to the light.

Unfortunately, it is destined to infect darkness.Mori Ogai's eyes were dim.

"What...?" What does it mean to save people's lives?

"Eri-chan, you know. It's war and Japan is weak. If we don't win, the hundreds of millions of people behind us will suffer a lot. Thousands of people will become refugees and homeless people."

I froze.

"Eri-chan, for victory, do whatever it takes."

Does that have to be me?What's the point?

"Eri-chan has very good supernatural powers, she can quickly obtain information and reduce unnecessary casualties."

"Eri-chan." He looked at me, stared straight at me, his dark purple eyes, which were similar to mine, seemed to suck people in.

"If you know all this, can you really stand by and watch?"

I can not.

My dream is to be a policeman, to save others, I am happy to see other people's happy smiles, if this is true, then...

Sacrificing one of me can bring back other people's smiling faces, why not?

If it was him, I could vaguely think of that policeman. I can't remember his name and appearance, but he always shines in my memory.

If it were him...

I acquiesced, I acquiesced to all crimes against me.

In just a few months, there is not a single spot on my body that is intact.

Sometimes lying on the hospital bed, listening to the doctor discussing how many times I can use it, discussing where the pain is the most and the damage to life is the least, I think in a trance.

What am I doing?

In other words, can such a broken body pass the physical fitness test of the police academy?

Also, I never dreamed of Koike Chikusa again.

----

I thought everything would pass like this until Mori Ogai brought back a sister.

On that day, I was dying of unprecedented torture, and I thought for a while that I might die.

At this time, she came and used her supernatural power "Please don't die" with trembling hands, and I was immediately resurrected with full blood.

Really, none of the old wounds were there, and the internal organs were intact.

I was shocked.

I tilted my head to look at her and said, "Hi, I'm Eri Mori. I'm five years old this year."

"I... I am Yosano Akiko, ten years old."

The people next to him were still discussing in a low voice, "It's such a good match" "So you don't have to worry about her dying."

Yosano Akiko obviously heard it, she flinched and said, "I'm sorry..."

"What? Why apologize?"

Because you may suffer more severe crimes because of me.

I looked at her, stretched out my hand to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "It's okay, all of this is my own choice. Can I call you Miss Jingzi?"

She nodded and gently took my hand.

I held it back and said, "All suffering will pass, and all futures will be bright."

This is a sentence from a story that the policeman told me when he was amusing me.

The protagonist has gone through hardships, but never admit defeat, and finally failed.The policeman added such a sentence at the end, saying that the ending that everyone thinks is not necessarily the ending.

I didn't understand it at the time, but as long as I recite this sentence silently when I feel like I can't hold on, I'll get through it.

It would be nice to meet that person again.I wonder.

Later, sister Jingzi and I became more and more familiar. I was very attached to her, and she was also very dependent on me.

Mori Ogai looked at us with a smile on the side.

One day, I found out that Miss Akiko stayed here because of her supernatural power.

I ran to question Mori Ogai: "Why, isn't there me already?"

Why sacrifice innocent people.

"Eri-chan, she has very strong abilities, maybe she can create an army of undead..."

He chattered a lot, just like what he told me back then.And judging by his appearance, he has fallen into a state of madness.

I was silent.

I want to help others, but it doesn't matter if I'm just myself, I don't want to force others to be like me.

I can see that Jingzi's condition is getting worse and worse, and she is on the verge of collapse.

I don't want to see her like this.

"Even without Yosano, it doesn't matter if a large group of people die?" Mori Ogai said.

Stop giving me a high hat.Is this kind of salvation that is forced upon others worthy of being called salvation?

As I grow older, my mind becomes clearer.

I volunteered, I volunteered to help my country win, that's okay.

Sister Jingzi didn't want to, and if she didn't want to, she couldn't be forced.

Don't you feel ashamed that the victory of a war depends on your children?Let alone coercion.

Mori Ogai took advantage of my weakness and understood that I could not refuse, but he was wrong.

I care more about the present.

So I called the police because I couldn't find anyone who could help me.

Where is the person who can save Yosano Akiko?

...Where is the person who can save me?

The fate was obvious, I was severely tortured, and finally locked up in a confinement room.

I was lying on the floor in a daze, with no one around.

So cold.

I hugged my knees tightly and gradually cried out.

Why, I can't even help anyone, can I really be a policeman?

Or, my dreams simply won't come true.

My sobs echoed in the dark secret room.

"Hui Li."

I looked up suddenly, it was Chikusa Koike.

However, this is reality.

Koike Chikusa is still the same as before, but the body is transparent.

"Long time no see." She gently pushed back the broken hair that covered my eyes, "Why did you get into this state?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" I couldn't help crying, the wound on my abdomen hurt so much, I wanted to cry even more.

When I calmed down, Koike Chikusa said, "You know Eri, my dream is to be a psychiatrist."

"...a great ideal." I said.

"So, I saw it right away. Eri, you are forcing yourself."

what?

"Eri, you can't save everyone."

I subconsciously want to refute, but I can't say it.

She is right.I think.

"Eri, do you know? This is just a manga world, and everything follows the rules drawn by a pen."

I was stunned.

"Eri, you shouldn't exist. But you exist, you are special."

What do you mean I don't exist...?

She said again that this is a comic world, a combination of multiple comics, and it has an absolute protagonist.For example, there is a bandage monster, a waste wood but turned out to be very powerful, and another is a Kami.

……ah?Cammy?Seriously?

I have completely refreshed my worldview.

But I also had a vague feeling that she was right.

For a while these complex emotions filled my mind, and I didn't know what to say.

"But, Eri, we are cannon fodder."

ah?I was stunned again.

"Ogai Mori and Yosano Akiko are the protagonists, so don't worry, Yosano Akiko will be saved in the end."

I was relieved, but I also thought about Mori Ogai's scum, if it was the protagonist group, maybe they would not be punished by law, so I was not happy.

In the dark confinement room, I chatted with her sentence by sentence, and I didn't feel so hurt anymore.

I hated Mori Ogai very much at first, but when I thought it was just a part of his design, I didn't have much interest in him.

"Eili, keep your heart. Don't let any kind of negative emotion occupy your heart."

I know.

"Then why are you..." Doing these things.

Koike Chikusa showed a bright smile that I had never seen before: "I have a younger brother and an older brother. I love them very much. But..."

"My brother was hunted down by the mafia. Those people didn't listen to what they said. Obviously my brother was wronged."

"I didn't understand until I accidentally broke the world line. My brother's death is a part of the plot, and it is inevitable."

She said the last few words very softly, and maybe she had done all her efforts, but it still didn't help.

"Eili, I successfully saved my brother that time."

I didn't speak, but she smiled uglier than crying.

"...But he soon shattered into stars and drifted away. Everyone's memory has become the ending of his original death."

That's right, the world line was fixed.

My heart is desolate, and there is nothing more hopeless than this hopelessness.

"So, you say I'm special. Can I change that?" I said.

She looked at me carefully, and then smiled softly: "Eili, I didn't want you to know. But... If you don't know, there is really no hope at all."

Those, belonging to ordinary people, the hopes of supporting characters.

"As long as you find two absolute protagonists and let them meet, plus Eri's special physique, maybe you can succeed."

An absolute protagonist is equivalent to the center of the world. The collision of two world centers is absolutely not allowed by the world line, so it will desperately prevent the two from meeting.

But, Eri, you are out of control, you are the variable.

"It's a pity... I failed, I didn't find it at all... No, maybe the world doesn't want me to find it..." Koike Chikusa smiled wryly.

I don't know what she went through: "Can I use my supernatural power?"

"Of course." She smiled.

Ability - Emotional resonance.

In an instant, the hopelessness, the despair of trying again and again but failing, and the desire to urgently change fate and help others change fate filled my heart.

I trembled and wept.

She hugged me gently in her arms and said sorry to me.

It's ok.

You are my first friend.

Now you appear here again, if you don't appear, I don't know if I will still be myself after I get out of the confinement room.

So, in a sense, you saved me.

Remove the ability.

I covered her hand with my scarred hand: "Hi, I'm Eri Mori, a policeman."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No matter how difficult or difficult it is, it's okay."
