The days when I fell in love with Nagato Yuki

During the second half of the Tanabata celebration of the SOS group, Haruhi's mood became depressed for some reason, and sometimes he looked up at the sky and sighed like exhaling.It's as humble a solar-powered car as a diesel truck that normally uses a lot of fuel.

To be honest, Ah Xu felt a little creepy.

In the silence, only the bamboo branches swaying in the wind outside the window and the colorful poetry paper hanging on them show the flow of time.Everyone seems to have returned to the state before Spring came, but Ah Xu felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little different.At this moment, Asahina who was sitting opposite him quietly handed over a short note, feeling a little nervous like passing a note in class, Ah Xu took it over.

"Please stay in the classroom after the event. Mikuru☆"

"This...is it a date? No, there should be something else..." Ah Xu thought.

Ah Xu never thought that his intuition was so accurate. In fact, Asahina asked him to stay, and he really wanted to ask him for help, but Ah Xu never thought that the thing that needed help was--

"I wish you could go with me once three years ago."

"Three years ago", this is a key point that has a great relationship with Haruhi Suzumiya. It seems that all unnatural phenomena have taken root in the earth since then.

Ah Xu is naturally very interested in this. At the same time, if time travel can be done, it can also verify the future people that Asahina-senpai has said so far. Too flimsy isn't it?)

Thinking about this, the boy Ah Xu finally agreed to Asahina's request. He didn't have too many worries about whether there was any conspiracy or trick in it. Maybe this is the youth of a boy -- in both positive and negative senses. Word.

Time travel is not what Ah Xu imagined, even he only felt a dimness in front of his eyes, and when he woke up again, he and Asahina were already in another place.

Asahina solemnly apologized to him for "making Ah Xu unconscious for the sake of keeping secret".

Because the target was Asahina-senpai, Xu accepted her apology graciously - if it were Koizumi, he would be very happy to beat the other's handsome face severely.

"So, what time is it now?" Ah Xu looked around and recognized that this was the park where Nagato had asked him to meet.

"It's July 9th three years ago, around [-]:[-] p.m.." The future man Asahina quickly answered Ah Xu's question.

She should have done something while Ah Xu was unconscious, at least her maid outfit was changed to Bei Gao's sailor uniform at this time.

But at this moment, Asahina completely lost consciousness without any warning.

"What's going on?!" Ah Xu hadn't realized what happened, but at this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound from the bushes beside him.This scene is like a scene in a horror movie, and Ah Xu's whole heart suddenly twitched.

"Is she already asleep?" General talking, the person who appeared in front of Ah Xu was...another Asahina, "Good night, Ah Xu."

She was a few years older than Asahina who was sleeping next to Ah Xu at this time, she was a young beauty who had fully grown up in all aspects, was still cute, and her charm level had been greatly revised positively.Ah Xu had seen her once before, and she was wearing the same white blouse and blue tight miniskirt as she was then—it was Asahina (big) who came.

"Hee hee, this is what I look like at this age." The adult version of Asahina poked Asahina's (little) cheek lightly, and sighed in a nostalgic tone.

"Well, Asahina-senpai... May I ask what's going on?" Xu asked in a daze.

"It's her task to bring you here, and it's my task to guide you afterwards." Asahina, who is full of mature charm, chuckled lightly.

---------------------------------------

Asahina's (big) guidance, to be honest, Ah Xu thinks it's quite like the tasks issued by NPCs in RPG games.

Mission description: "Go south along the track over there, there is a school, it is a public junior high school. I want you to help the person in front of the school gate. Can you rush there right away? I'm sorry, and, I have to Please carry this on your back and go with me. I don’t think it’s too heavy.”

Task reward: "I have nothing to give you, but you can kiss me when I am asleep—only when I am asleep."

This reward can be regarded as a dream treasure for the warrior Ah Xu, but in the end he just thought about it in his heart. For some reason, he just couldn't make up his mind to do it.

Therefore, he could only silently watch the smiling Asahina (big) leave the stage, and then put another Asahina on his back and embarked on a long journey.

On the premise of avoiding pedestrians, after walking for about ten minutes, Ah Xu arrived at the place Asahina (Da) mentioned, and he also happened to know this place - Dongguo Middle School, the alma mater of Taniguchi and Kasuga.

At this time, a figure that looks very familiar to Ah Xu, but is much smaller, is clinging to the iron gate of the school, apparently planning to turn over.

"Hello!" Out of a certain habit, Ah Xu called out to the other party.

"Why?" The petite figure turned around and said impatiently.

Looking at this person, Ah Xu finally had the feeling that he really came three years ago.

The face that was pressed against the door and turned around was undoubtedly younger than the head of the SOS regiment that Ah Xu knew.But the light in those unmistakable eyes is exactly Haruhi's eyes.Even though she was dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts, the impression remained unchanged.Three years ago now, Haruhi Suzumiya was a first-year junior high school student.

"Is it she who Asahina-san asked me to help?"

......

............

..................

The process of the matter is simply unbearable for Ah Xu. As a dignified high school student, he was unexpectedly surrounded by Kasuga, who was still a junior high school student. Images, abstract pictures that seem to be words but are not words—yes, it is the thing that Ah Xu once heard Taniguchi tell the glorious deeds of Haruhi.

"I didn't expect it to be drawn by me, haha, if I told Taniguchi he would think I was crazy. 』Ah Xu silently looked at the pattern he had painstakingly drawn.

At this time, Haruhi came to his side and snatched the line drawing machine away.While adding the lines as if fine-tuning, she said:

"Hey, do you think aliens exist?"

How should I say this question? --It's so sudden.Contact Haruhi just now and ask someone she doesn't know to help her play a prank. If it were someone else, it would have been time to call the mental hospital.But the one here happened to be Ah Xu, who had gotten used to Haruhi's leaping thinking, so he replied while wiping his sweat:

"Should there be?" Nagato's cold face appeared in Ah Xu's mind.

"And what about future people?"

"Well, it's not surprising even if there is."

"Speaking of which, I am now a future man myself. ’ Ah Xu suddenly thought in his heart.

"What about superpowers?"

"I think it's everywhere." In the closed space, countless red light spots have been seen passing through Ah Xu's mind.

"What about people from another world?"

"Since those people mentioned above can exist, so can people from other worlds." Ah Xu fanned his hands in front of his face, trying to dissipate the heat around his body.

"Huh!" I don't know whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied with Ah Xu's answer, Haruhi threw away the line drawing machine, and wiped his face covered with white powder with his shoulder, "Well, it's ready."

Ah Xu felt a little uneasy: "Could it be that I said something I shouldn't have said?"

Haruhi looked at Ah Xu with his eyes hanging, and suddenly asked: "Are you wearing Beigao's uniform?"

"Yes."

"What's your name?"

"John Smith (note: a fake name that Ah Xu came up with on the spur of the moment)."

"...Are you an idiot?"

"What if I'm anonymous?"

"Who is that girl?" referring to Asahina who had been sleeping beside her.

"My sister. She suffers from a kind of 'narcolepsy'. It's an old problem. She falls asleep anytime and anywhere, so I have to carry her."

"Humph."

Seeing Haruhi's disbelieving expression, it was inevitable that she would continue to dwell on this question, so Ah Xu decided to change the subject.

"By the way, what the hell is this?"

"Look, you know, it's a message."

"To whom? It won't be for Cowherd and Vega..."

Haruhi asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"...Well, it's Tanabata after all. I just know someone who has done similar things."

"Oh? I really want to know that person. Are there any students like that in Bei Gao?"

"Ah."

『From now on and in the future, you are the only one who tries to do such a thing, Haruhi. 』

"Well, Beigao..."

Haruhi muttered thoughtfully, after a moment of silence, he turned around suddenly the next moment.

"I'm going back! My goal has been achieved, goodbye."

She strode away without even a thank you.Ah Xu felt that this was really Haruhi's style--and, she didn't declare her name until the end.But Ah Xu always felt that, fortunately, she didn't say anything.

---------------------------------------

The task assigned by Asahina (big) can now be declared over, and Ah Xu decides to wake up Asahina (small) so that he can take the next step.

Unexpectedly, not long after Asahina woke up, she suddenly screamed, and then she hurriedly groped her body up and down, as if she was looking for something, but when she failed, her lovely face gradually faded, and even faintly showed a livid color .

Under Ah Xu's questioning, he learned that the prop "TPDD" that Asahina-senpai used to travel through time and space had disappeared, and without it, they would not be able to return to the world three years later.

This is really serious!

Theoretically, this should be the case, but Ah Xu doesn't have much sense of crisis in his heart.This is completely different from being trapped with Haruhi last time, without that tense and desperate mood.So, he calmly analyzed: "First of all, the TPDD should not have been lost or stolen, otherwise Asahina (big)-senpai could not have warned herself.And maybe she was the one who took that TPDD away, but why?』

On the side, Asahina looked like she was about to cry, no, she was already crying.

Seeing the weeping Asahina, Xu had no choice but to put aside the pursuit of the truth about TPDD's disappearance, and began to think about ways to bring them back to their original world safely.

At this time, it was late at night, and it was dark all around, only the dim street lights dimly illuminated the campus.There are abstract white lines all over the playground. If you don't take a little distance, you can't see the whole picture at all--but after Ah Xu saw the whole pattern clearly, a sliver of understanding emerged in his heart.

"Maybe there are other ways!" Ah Xu said excitedly, he fumbled in the pocket of his coat, and took out a kind of lavender poetry paper from it - this was given to Ah Xu by Nagato after today's event. The pattern depicted on it is exactly the same as the one on the playground.

The two then rushed to the apartment where Nagato lived, and saw Nagato still wearing glasses in Room 708.

A conversation——Ah Xu was almost alone telling the cause of the incident, Nagato listened silently, and Asahina sat behind Ah Xu with some timidity.

"...The process is probably like this, and then, you gave me this three years later." Ah Xu handed the piece of paper to Nagato.

Nagato stared at the short note, her fingers moved over the strange words as if reading a barcode, and after a few seconds she said calmly, "I understand."

Seeing Nagato nodding, Ah Xu was really relieved, but then he noticed something.

"Why are you wearing Beigao's school uniform now?" It's impossible for Nagato to enroll at this time.

"No. I'm in standby mode right now."

"Standby...Are you going to stand by like this for nearly three years?" Ah Xu asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"That's really..." Ah Xu didn't say anything later, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, although Asahina-senpai and I have known you for a long time, you should be the number one now." see us for the first time, right?"

"Yes."

"So......"

Before Ah Xu finished speaking, Nagato on the opposite side suddenly took off her eyes. It was clearly the same Nagato, but both Ah Xu and Asahina felt that some kind of unspeakable change had happened to her.At this time, the Nagato in front of them has become the Nagato they are familiar with.

"This is?" Asahina's eyes widened and she exclaimed, this was the first time she spoke after entering Nagato's house.

"I just applied for the memory synchronization of the same body at a different time." Nagato blinked and continued, "Now you can compare the "I" that exists on the time plane three years from now with the current time. This "I" of the same person."

"What?" Ah Xu didn't understand for a moment.

But Asahina already understood, a look that could almost be called fear appeared on her face, and she said in panic: "It's unbelievable, with this kind of power, predicting the future is simply a piece of cake!"

Nagato ignored the reaction of the two, got up and led the two into an empty Japanese room.Then she took the quilt out of the cupboard and began to spread it, and then two mattresses.

"Am I thinking too much... Do you want us to sleep here?" Ah Xu interrupted and asked.

Nagato turned around holding the quilt, and said briefly: "Yes."

"Here? With Asahina-san... the two of us?!"

"Yes."

Ah Xu glanced sideways, and saw Asahina timidly, and her pretty face was blushing.That's a natural reaction, right?

But Nagato didn't care at all.

"Sleep." She said straight to the tunnel.

"Can't you be a little more tactful?"

"It's just sleeping." Seeing that the two seemed to hesitate, Nagato emphasized.

Xu Xu and Asahina couldn't help but looked at each other.Finally, Ah Xu shrugged.Since they can only find Nagato for help.And she wants us to sleep, so sleep!

"If you wake up and find yourself in the original world, this is a very simple way. 』

Nagato reached out and touched the light bulb on the wall, Ah Xu saw that she was muttering words.

Just as he was thinking: "Shouldn't she say good night to us?" With a "snap", the light went out.

"Go to sleep. 』Ah Xu thought about it, but less than a second after he pulled the quilt on, the "pop" light came on again.

Xuu and Asahina sat up in doubt, Nagato was still standing by the door, touching the light switch with one hand - but for some reason, Xuu felt that Nagato had changed a little bit compared to before, as if... ...softer?

"How come?! We're back." At this moment, Asahina looked at the radio wave watch on his right wrist (Note: The original book said that this kind of watch will automatically adjust the time according to standard time radio waves), and said excitedly, "Now is the seventh day of our departure. July 09th... 30:[-] p.m."

"How did this work?" Ah Xu asked, looking at Nagato's face that seemed a little milder than three years ago.

"Freeze the liquid-combined intelligence in the selected time-space, place it at the coincidence point of the known time-space continuum, and then unfreeze it."

"Sorry, I didn't understand at all."

"Nagato-san... She made time stand still—frozen this room and our time for three years, and it was not until today that the time freeze was undone." Asahina, who was about to stand up, kneeled Once soft, he almost collapsed on the quilt, "It can freeze time, it's simply..."

This time Ah Xu finally understood, and he was extremely surprised: "That is to say, when I first came here to visit, there was another me and Asahina-senpai lying in this Japanese room!"

"Yes."

Ah Xu looked at Nagato, and Nagato looked at him silently.Coupled with the synchronization of Nagato's memory just now, Ah Xu felt a burst of dizziness attacking him.He swallowed hard, and asked: "...In other words, at that time, you already knew everything that will happen until today?"

"Yes."

Oh my god! Ah Xu and Asahina looked at each other, both of them were so shocked that they were numb.Although Nagato has always been unfathomable, they never expected that they could even stand still for a while--isn't this the same as a god?

"This time is just a special case. The emergency mode is not allowed to be used unless there is something very important." Nagato shook his head, denying what the two said.

The two people who walked out of the Japanese room blinked, almost wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.

In front of them, where was the almost empty living room that the two of them had seen before—in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there were sky blue curtains with exquisite and elegant patterns.The low table in the living room is covered with tablecloths of the same color, and a vase with fresh flowers is placed on it.A heavy hardcover book was quietly spread out on top of it, and beside it was a half cup of black tea that had lost steam, as if it had just been poured from a teapot beside it.It seemed that Nagato was drinking black tea while reading a book.

"Thank you, Nagato." Although he was a little curious about the location of Lin Lu who caused such a drastic change in Nagato's family, in the end Ah Xu just thanked Nagato and prepared to leave with Asahina.

"It's nothing." Nagato handed back the worn-out piece of paper to A Xu, and said, "Don't tell Lu."

"Huh? Ah, okay."

It wasn't until the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor that Ah Xu remembered that he originally wanted to ask Nagato what the pattern on the piece of poetry meant.but--

"Don't bother her tonight. 』

(Note: The meaning of those patterns, Nagato said in the original book, means "I am here". It seems that Haruhi in junior high school is really very lonely.)

---------------------------------------

Three years ago, Room 708 of Guangyangyuan Apartment.

Nagato has put on his glasses again and entered the standby mode after the synchronization of the memory of the different time homotope is released.The memory that was just obtained has become pure information data with emotional factors removed.

The only thing that puzzled Nagato was that, for some reason, only the information about people from another world was intentionally blocked by himself three years later.Therefore, she sent a message to herself three years later, asking the reason for it, and counting the time, the reply should be coming soon.

Three years later, Room 708 of Guangyang Yuan Apartment.

Nagato, who was reading a book, paused for a moment, and something seemed to flash in Wuji's eyes - she received an inquiry from herself three years ago.

And three years ago, she already knew how she would respond, but she just knew it. It wasn't until recently that she understood why she told her past self that way.

The message was drawn up in an instant, and she sent it out.

Three years ago, Room 708 of Guangyangyuan Apartment.

Nagato received his own reply:

"A month B day, C point D minute E second, F location"

Did not explain the reason, only a string of time and place, did you tell yourself to go there at that time?

but why?

Nagato was puzzled, but he didn't think deeply about it, anyway, he would know when the time came.

Three years later, Room 708 of Guangyang Yuan Apartment.

Just after sending the message to himself, Nagato heard the sound of the entrance door opening.

"I'm back." After that, Lin Lu's voice was slightly panting.

Standing up, Nagato came to the entrance.

"Welcome back."

The author has something to say:

Because there is a mid-term exam next week, I will not update it.

But this chapter can already be read as two chapters.Please forgive me.

This is the end of the Qixi Festival.
