I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

If you insist on finding a culprit that caused the catastrophe for the superpower user, it must be the bug that probed the brain back then.

When he first came to this world, Saiki Kusuo must never have imagined that he would encounter some unbelievable things that broke the bottom line.

Get scared 20 years ago by being scared of the creature in your life.The person with superpowers couldn't hold back his face and forcibly stated that this was a conditioned reflex.

It's just that the reaction is too fast and leisurely, like a conditioned reflex of a mistake——

"..."

"...Well, I admit, this is indeed a mistake."

Standing on a branch of a certain tree, the pink-haired boy's head was still covered with a conspicuous tree leaf.

Although it is a standard expressionless face, his figure is inexplicably lonely.

This place seemed to be the edge of the forest, and the boy standing on a high place could tell it at a glance.

At the same time, of course he did not ignore that the edge of the forest was next to the bottomless cliff, which was dark and deep, as if it was a natural obstacle.

It's kind of weird.Saiki Kusuo thought so when he saw it for the first time.

However, since he hadn't realized that he had been reversed for 20 years, he thought it was just a space transfer, even though he found it strange, he didn't pay attention to it.

He wanted to go back now and find Saitama and Eric who should be still deep in the forest first.

However, something even stranger than before happened.

Saiki Kusuo: "?"

"What about them?"

Walking into the deep forest, within the telepathic range of the superpower user, no familiar person was detected.

It's normal for Eric not to be able to find him, as Saiki Kusuo couldn't hear him in the first place.But even Saitama's voice was not heard, which is very strange.

At that time, Saiki Kusuo was still not close to the truth, but an ominous premonition suddenly came, making him doubtful, and according to his intuition, he returned to the place where he landed before.

That is, the branch of the tree at the edge of the forest.

This is a good place to overlook the surroundings. Coupled with the eyesight of a person with superpowers, he can clearly see the area enclosed by the wall on the other side of the cliff, and the white buildings far away are also clear...

……Um?

Before reaching that far, a "creature" that should not have appeared here appeared.

No, in fact, he had already discovered that there was this person around, but he didn't expect——

Saiki Kusuo suddenly wanted to look away: "..."

The person who suddenly looked at him from below: "..."

Behind the high wall on the other side of the cliff, there was a person when Saiki Kusuo came.Now he came back in a circle, and the man was still here.

not only that.

The man lingered behind the wall for a long time, and in an instant, with all his might—"Pa-ta!"

The person who stared blankly at Saiki Kusuo was a black-haired girl who was panting for breath after climbing up the towering wall by herself.

Saiki Kusuo knew she was on the opposite side, but the girl didn't know that there was someone on the other side.

Therefore, when she climbed over the wall that she thought was unattainable with a particularly eager mood, she longed to see the vast scenery "outside".

What I saw at a glance was not a fantasy scene, but...

A strange teenager standing on a tree?

The girl was stunned for a moment, but it was understandable.

The black hair was wet with sweat, and the twisted braids were thrown into a mess when they climbed over the wall. The girl stared intently at the pink-haired boy who seemed to be not far away, subconsciously wanting to take a step forward.

"…………what!"

He stopped suddenly, but he didn't advance much distance at all.

The Gain girl suddenly came back to her senses, and suddenly realized that she couldn't make it through there.

The second thing I saw was the abyss just in front of my feet.

The darkness that seems to be able to devour everything may climb up at any time, reaching out its tentacles to wrap around her ankles, dragging her cruelly into it.

Can't see anything, only darkness, only ever sticky darkness.

The pupils dilated, and the girl's eyes seemed to be vaguely painted with a dark color.

She may not have enough energy to care about the pink-haired boy who suddenly appeared opposite.

"..."

"..."

Silence spread like this.

The first encounter between a superpower and an unknown girl will most likely end abruptly without saying a word, let alone wanting to have a follow-up development.

——If Saiki Kusuo is not a superpower with telepathy.

The superpower user really wanted to leave, and the two guys who disappeared at the critical moment hadn't been found yet.

But he stood on the tree and only moved half a step indistinctly.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, such as "Let's go", "Yes, I should go, so why hesitate?" "What does the difficulty of passers-by have to do with me", which is in line with his usual personality.

Of course, the "hesitation, hesitation, and irritability after hesitation" that followed was more in line with his character.

Being "trapped" by the uncontrolled telepathic ability, Saiki Kusuo was forced to know the mental journey of the girl on the other side of the cliff.

He didn't want to know that the girl opposite was very disappointed, and the disappointment seemed to be almost over to despair.

The girl on the opposite side was still very afraid.

She felt great fear of the huge gap between herself and "freedom", she didn't even dare to try to cross it, she seemed to give up just like that.

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

Inexplicably, there was a feeling that he knew something he shouldn't know... Okay, this is commonplace for him.

Knowing too much is not a good thing.

For example, at this moment, it is unlikely that a person with superpowers will be able to simply walk away.

It's okay if the other party didn't see him, but the problem is that he has already seen him, and leaving as if nothing had happened at this time would seem like running away.

There is no doubt that the reason of "running away" is the most commonly used reason by a certain silver-haired boy, and now Saiki Kusuo has also borrowed it, and the effect of convincing himself is quite good.

In any case he convinced himself.

The girl on the opposite side stared at the dark abyss in front of her feet, with a dull expression and a trance. At this time, Saiki Kusuo transmitted his voice to her head:

"Someone is coming for you."

"...!"

These words brought the black-haired girl back to her senses, but at the same time, what filled her heart was not peace of mind, but another kind of fear.

Saiki Kusuo couldn't understand the source of this fear, even though he could hear the girl's voice.

——Yes...Mom...Did you find out?

"A woman dressed as a nun is walking here." Saiki Kusuo said honestly and very directly: "If you don't want to be found out, go back quickly."

"..."

The girl didn't answer immediately.

strangeness.It was this strange feeling again.

Before Saiki Kusuo had time to understand it carefully, he wasted a little time, and the girl's voice finally reached his ears.

It is so light that it seems to be dissipated in the wind, and it is precisely because of this lightness that it cannot carry the emotions beyond confusion.

"Outside……"

"what?"

"Outside……"

Saiki Kusuo: "?"

For some reason, even when she saw the weird pink-haired boy "floating" like a ghost, the girl's expression didn't change, and the darkened eyes lost the light they should have.

She looked at Saiki Kusuo, and just kept repeating the same sentence:

"What...is it like outside? I..."

"can not go."

"I can not go."

During the repetition, her voice was so confused that she couldn't distinguish clearly, which was a manifestation of being caught in a vortex of great entanglement.For superpowers, it can be compared to a powerful shock.

He didn't understand why the girl said that, so he couldn't understand how "should" his next behavior was.

——What is the criterion for judging "should not be"?

Cannot be defined.

Afterwards, Saiki Kusuo only knew that, in the final analysis, it was definitely not his fault, nor was it the girl's fault.

But his "guilt" and "shock" are truths that cannot be erased.

The psychic at that time failed to understand the despair hidden in the girl's simple words, and he had never been good at this.

So, what he said was—

"The nun is coming soon, you go back."

Saying that, the superpower who was not close to the other side disappeared, and the girl who was standing on the top of the high wall in a daze slowly restrained her sluggishness, turned around, jumped off the high wall, and walked back more slowly.

What is wrong?Feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, he was very uncertain, but he couldn't ignore the strange emotion.

I searched around in the forest again, but couldn't find the two people who were the target.

Saiki Kusuo, who was becoming more and more strange, stopped and thought carefully, and he still felt that the clue should be in the place where he met the black-haired girl by chance.

He remembered that before coming here, the foresight picture he got was exactly the same as what he saw in his eyes at that time.

The green grassy forest, the bright white house, the children in white clothes playing in front of the house, and the nun watching them...

There seems to be only one difference.

It was the girl he met just now, who gave people a feeling of being in a deep quagmire.

Unable to put aside the growing doubts, Saiki Kusuo simply abandoned his unreliable friends and focused on finding answers to his confusion.

He spent more than a month in the orphanage.

That's right, the function of the white house has been determined, and this is an orphanage with a beautiful environment.

In order to save the trouble of being unreliable, Saiki Kusuo remained invisible throughout the whole process.

It didn't take him long to get the information.

The girl who appeared on the wall was named Isabella, and she was the best child in this orphanage, and she was very popular with "mother".

However, from a certain day onwards, Isabella seemed to be in a low mood, and did not have frequent contact with "mother".

"Mom" refers to the nun at the orphanage.

As soon as Saiki Kusuo came to hear the nun's heart clearly, the first impression of the woman with a gentle appearance was quite bad.

For nothing else, a woman's inner world is filthy, darker than a bottomless abyss.

This is the first time for a person with superpowers to meet such a dark-hearted human being.

He didn't want to be close to the pollution source, but he had to.Some strange words often appeared in the nun's heart, and Saiki Kusuo didn't plan to leave until he figured out the meaning of those words.

The intention of the superpowers is to only observe and not participate under the premise of maintaining invisibility.

Absolutely not to participate in it - he told himself so.

however.

One day not long after, the black-haired girl sitting quietly in the shade of a tree raised her head, looking at the sky with some dull eyes, as if in a daze, and talking to herself at the same time.

But actually, she didn't.

"Are you there? Who are you?"

A person with superpowers who are invisible stays still, and will not show their feet lightly.

"I know you are here, I found the trace left behind."

fine.The person with superpowers said in his heart that he could hold on.

The girl clasped her hands on her knees: "For five consecutive days, the amount of coffee jelly in the afternoon tea did not match the number of people who ate it. No one likes to eat this dessert. Only Anne and Betty, they eat it occasionally..."

Power user: "!"

Girl: "Did you eat it?"

It seems a little unsteady.

"It doesn't matter to me who you are." Before the superpower user could relax, the girl had already added this sentence to herself.

She seemed to have figured out something, she swept away her previous depression and became more active than ever.

"Can you tell me."

Facing the transparent void, the girl asked eagerly, "What is the 'outside' world like?"

Saiki Kusuo: "..."

no way.

He compromised.
