Chapter 59: A Name That Doesn't Exist

Igarashi Mika came to the shrine and found that everything had changed.

The neat bluestone steps and the stone lanterns on both sides disappeared, replaced by broken mountain roads and overgrown weeds.

This desolate scene is very familiar to the girl.

Ten years ago, she and Jinguji Kiyohime played adventure games here and then went up the mountain.

After making a wish to the god, the shrine disappeared.

But Jinguji Kiyohime said that the gods are here, but others cannot see them.

So, the Igarashi family bought the place and built roads and a shrine.

However, all traces have disappeared.

"Miss, what exactly is here..."

"Stay here!"

Igarashi Mikata said without replying, and then ran up the stone steps.

The bumpy mountain road in the rugged area was not easy to walk, so the girl climbed very slowly.

Walking halfway up the mountain, she finally couldn't help it and stopped to rest for a while.

But at the same time, she recalled things from her childhood.

At that time, she and Jinguji Kiyohime were just children, and Jinguji Kiyohime was in such a weak body, but they climbed to the top of the mountain without any difficulty.

Perhaps, this is the guidance from the gods...

After resting for a while, Igarashi Mika stepped onto the stone steps again. This time, she endured her fatigue and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.

Sure enough, the shrine that was built also disappeared.

However, there is nothing on the desolate mountain top.

The shrine I saw ten years ago is not here...

Plop!

The girl fell to her knees slumped on the ground.

Where did Toru Izumi, who played [Jinguji Kiyohime], go?

Obviously, I was still holding [her] hand and leaning on [her] shoulder in the morning...

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be this result.

I lost Izumi Toru, how should I explain to Kiyohime and the others...

Suddenly, Igarashi Mika was stunned for a moment.

If the prediction is correct, everyone else should have lost Izumi Toru's memory.

In other words, there is no need to explain to them.

Thinking of this, the girl twitched her lips and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

【I want to see you wear a ponytail.】

[Even though I look like a scumbag, I’m actually the kind of person who sticks to it. What’s that look in your eyes? I’m serious!]

[As a loser's bet, here, you can twist it as much as you want. Of course, it's best to be gentle...hiss!]



The memories she didn't want to think of hit her brain again and again with a force that made her sad and heartbroken. However, these were her most precious and happiest memories.

Now, only memories are left...

After a while, Igarashi Mika stood up unsteadily.

She walked to the edge in silence and looked at the steep mountain wall at her feet.

Is Toru Izumi hiding down there, just waiting to find him?

No, only you can find him.

Because, I am the only one who still retains his memory.

etc……

What am I going to do?

Looking for Izumi Tetsu...

No, that's not right, go back to Qingji's place for dinner...

No! No!

I'm going to find...

Izumi Tetsu!

Yes, it’s Toru Izumi!

Izumi…

Izumi…

Izumi what?

At this moment, Igarashi Mika's pretty face looked a little ferocious because of the pain.

She felt like she was forgetting something very important, very important...

At this moment, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly became as hot as coals.

Snap!

The phone fell.

The girl stared blankly at the phone screen with a large crack in it, remembering the information she had seen on it.

【...I once had a dream...】

【...red wedding dress...】

【...like snow...】

it's wired.

Who wrote this information to himself, but didn’t write it all.

You should write it clearly...

If you don’t write clearly, how will I know what you want to express and how to respond to you...

Bend down and slowly pick up the phone.

Words that caught her attention flashed across the screen.

[System... unknown... intrusion... deletion... data... resistance... analysis...]

Although there are only simple words, when combined, it is enough for Igarashi Mika to clarify the logic.

If the system is invaded by an unknown thing, the data must be actively deleted or the deleted data must be deleted. The system must resist it and at the same time analyze the unknown thing.

But what exactly is this?

Home-made mobile phones definitely do not have these things designed...

[Mission... Asazuki Bene... Uehara Himetsu... Amakusa Mei... Energy...]

Igarashi Mika was stunned for a moment.

Amakusa Mei, isn't she that guy's sister?

That guy...

There was a figure of Moko in his mind, and Mika Igarashi couldn't see his face clearly.

However, I feel that my body is very thin.

Who is this guy?

Definitely not Amakusa Narumi!

Amakusa Narumi, the baseball genius who was specially recruited to enroll, can't be so thin!

Then this person...

who is it?

[Unable to...match...the host...Izumi...]

[Event specification...failed...]

[Energy...recycling...]

[...Special events...gods...]

Katcha!

Katcha!

The cracks in the mobile phone screen broke down into finer cracks and crawled all over the screen...



"Miss, what's wrong with you?!"

Seeing Mika Igarashi walking down the mountain in despair, the maid hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Igarashi Mika slowly raised her head and glanced at her.

"Why do you ask?"

"You...cry..."

Hearing the maid's words, Igarashi Mika was stunned for a moment.

The girl raised her hand and wiped her face.

The moist feeling on the back of her hand suddenly made her realize.

So, have you ever cried?

Yes.

Cried.

I forgot something very important, and I can’t remember it no matter how hard I try, it’s very sad...

She took the handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped her face, and took a deep breath.

"...let's go."

"Going home?" the maid confirmed.

"No, go to Shibuya."

"yes."

After getting into the car, Mika Igarashi leaned on the passenger seat, feeling deeply tired.

Just now, I climbed up the mountain inexplicably, felt inexplicably sad, and cried inexplicably.

besides……

She lowered her head and looked at the cracked screen.

Incomprehensible information.

What is the system?

What does deleting data mean?

Izumi...who is it again?

You, what did you forget?

Who is that figure in the lake in your mind?

Returning to the small courtyard in Shibuya, Igarashi Mika asked the maid to go home and opened the door himself.

Jinguji Kiyohime stood in a daze in front of the two snowmen in the yard.

"Qing Ji~"

Hearing Igarashi Mika's voice, Jinguji Kiyohime did not look back.

it's wired.

Why are there two snowmen, one with a scarf wrapped around his neck and the other without?

The other one needs to wear a scarf to look good...

"Royal flower."

"Um."

"Why doesn't this snowman have a scarf?" the girl asked, pointing to one of the snowmen.

New memories appeared in Igarashi Mika's mind.

[Jinguji Kiyohime] Wearing a miko costume and a scarf, she asked herself a question with a smile.

【Is it suitable?】

"Qingji, didn't you take it away?" she asked blankly.

Jinguji Kiyohime smiled and shook her head.

"Me? The blue one doesn't suit me. This red and white one suits me better..."

Then, she was also stunned.

Why would I say that blue is not suitable for me?

Obviously, I have never seen it...
