After standing up, Lin Xiao turned to the opposite side, where a small device was decorated on the door, catching his eye.
"So it's almost Christmas." He said Li Zhenyou was particularly motivated about this matter.
"Ms. Maho, Christmas will be here too?"
"Yes."
"Who are you spending Christmas with?" Lin Xiao said.
"Oh no, that Christmas is all about having a happy party with friends, right?"
"Unfortunately, I have no such plans, and I won't have any Christmas party," Maho said.
"For them, Christmas is a sacred day, so it's normal to spend it together, although it's quite noisy on New Year's Eve."
Come to think of it, I heard something like this on TV before.
"Well, although I don't have any family here, the fact that I am alone will not change no matter what." Maho said.
"Ah, but don't think that I will feel lonely. Don't misunderstand me."
Although I say so, spending Christmas alone on the noisy street is still very lonely.
But if I had said such thoughts, I would have been accused of being nosy, so I didn't say it out loud.
End of conversation with professors, b.
Although I confirmed on the phone that Mayu was fine, I still wanted to see her in reality, so that I could clearly see that Mayu was fine.
B's light is still on.
As if to completely escape the cold air outside, he ran up the stairs and opened the door.
"Mayu, are you there?"
In the process of opening the door, I felt a small shock to my chest.
"Ah, sorry."
"No, it's my fault. I'm sorry." Niu Huazi said.
It looked like he was getting ready to go out just now.
Niu Huazi looked up at him with an apologetic look, not knowing why his face was a little red.
Only Kiriko was in the room, and Mayu and Reiyu were not seen.
"That's great. If I had gone back a little earlier, I wouldn't have met you."
"Well, are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, even though I say that, it's not a big deal. I just brought a few things."
"It's steamed buns." Tongzi had already eaten about half of the steamed buns in the box.
"It's a gift for everyone, so eat as much as you can."
"That's right, thank you."
"By the way, Sulfur Huazi, is the time okay?"
"ah."
When Tongzi said this, Niuhuazi looked panicked.
"Actually, there will be guests at home after this."
"Guest? Sulfur Huazi."
"No, I'm dad's guest. I don't know why you want me to come with you. Dad usually invites people with the same interests to stay together for two days.
Because they are difficult topics that I can’t understand, so I usually just serve tea and pour water, so why do you want me to join them this time?”
"What's a difficult topic?"
The shrine of Suhanako's family was also an old shrine in Akihabara, and Suhanako and his father were the managers.
"That doesn't seem to be the case. Before this, the guests were talking about something, something like that, topics like this."
Sulfur Huazi said.
"It feels hard to understand." Could it be that these keywords are...
‘As expected of Niu Huazi’s father, he is so awesome.”
"Do you understand?" Niu Huazi said.
"Let's leave it to this topic and let's talk about it next time," Lin Xiao said.
"Well, then I'll see you again." Niu Huazi lowered his head and left.
After seeing her off, Lin Xiao sat on the sofa.
"Where's Mayu?"
"In the cafe, I didn't come today."
In that case, should you wait a moment or go and pick her up?
"By the way, what was Lin Xiao's phone call just now?"
Just now I should have mentioned the professor’s previous confirmation call.
"Don't worry about that. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Really, then it'll be fine."
The strange feeling I felt at that time was probably due to the movement of the world line, but after a few hours like this, I didn't notice any changes.
Rather, even if that feeling has really become blurry, the memory is indeed blurry, especially for the current self.
''Compared with these, he is indeed the father of Niu Huazi.
"What's wrong."
Lingyu came back first than Mayu.
Why is it that Su Huazi is Su Hua's brother, but he is his uncle?
"Yes, and he is a warrior in the warrior station. He will be invincible in a hundred battles."
"That's true, but I heard that Brother Niuhua is a shrine. That's true. Some people say that shrines are places for fighting."
Lingyu accepted and said, "Brother Lihua is very powerful."
Just pretend you didn't hear it. After meeting Ling Yu's face, he felt very embarrassed.
The number of times b is because I want to avoid meeting her.
"Uncle Lin Xiao, please don't make that expression."
Seeing that he was thinking, Lingyu said a little embarrassedly.
"You are avoiding me, I know this."
"It's not because of your fault." Lin Xiao said.
"By the way, what did Lingyu achieve today?"
"Could it be that I am not allowed to date a man? My father does not allow me to date a man of unknown origin." Tongzi said.
"no."
"real."
Although she thought it was a joke, Tongzi was surprisingly serious.
"Everything I said is true."
"Then just look dad in the eyes and say."
"Ha, Dad, would you say that?"
"What do you mean?" Tongzi said.
"You obviously already have a mother, but you're still playing weird games there."
"Well, the two dimensions and the three dimensions are still different after all." Tongzi said.
"You, it doesn't matter whether it's the second dimension or the third dimension. It's not what you said."
"It's such a betrayal that Lin Xiao would say such things at this time," Tongzi said.
Regarding the issue of interest, I don't remember when I became companions with Kiriko.
"It's always like that. Tell dad what you did today."
"There's nothing to feel guilty about, so just talk about it quickly."
Ling Yu glanced at Lin Xiao and sighed as if she was dying.
"Going to find someone."
"Human, then he is still a man after all?" Tongzi said.
"You said it, didn't you?"
"Little girl, no, she has become older than me now."
Regarding Lingyu's words, the two of them looked at each other.
"Actually, there's another person in the time machine I'm riding in."
"Wait until Lingyu hears this for the first time."
"Because it's never been said before."
Ling Yu's expression when she raised her head showed obvious regret.
"Who is that person and how is he doing now?" Lin Xiao said.
"What's going on now, I don't know." Lingyu said.
"You actually said you didn't know."
"Accidentally separated, in 1998, here in Akihabara."
Twelve years ago, it was not just Lingyu who came from the future. It will definitely take some time for this meaning to penetrate into my mind.
"But why did it become like this?"
"The kid and I first went to 1975 to find ibn51oo. Uncle, you know the reason."
Lin Xiao nodded in silence.
"We got it without incident, and the next time we went to 1998, we were on a mission to avoid the Y2K problem."
"Y2K?"
It was because of someone's words, but in the end I remember that although the media and experts hyped it up, there was no commotion.
Could it be that there was no commotion because of John who came from the future?
In that case, thank you very much.
"At that time, something went wrong and we were separated from the child."
"Then you just separated and jumped with a machine?"
"It implies that there is nothing we can do about it, because the child jumped out of the time machine on his own, and..."
Lingyu seemed to have thought of something and was embarrassed to say it.
"Of course I have also looked for it. I have time traveled several times within the scope of the remaining fuel, but."
As a result, it has not been found so far.
"I understand the basics, but why haven't I said anything until now?" Tongzi said.
"It was my mistake to lose that child and I want to take responsibility for it."
"What a surprise."
Patting Lingyu's shoulder, Tongzi said softly, "We are relatives. If you have any questions, please come to me directly to discuss."
"Just find the child, then let us help, Lin Xiao, right?"
"I also want?"
"Of course, I'm not asking you to change the future. To this extent, it's okay."
To be honest, I still feel guilty for always rejecting Lingyu's request to save the world.
Since you are doing what you can, you can help.
But what I care about is what to do after I find it.
"What's the child's name and age? By the way, she should be a cute girl. If she's a man, my father won't allow it."
"It's a girl."
"Okay, please tell me your name and three digits."
"I don't know because the child was only 10 years old when we were separated."
"Then I should be 22 years old now."
"name is?"
"The name is Bon, Shiina Bon."
"Shiina." Naturally, I was very curious about this surname.
"Did Lingyu say who that child is?"
"Well, her mother's name is Mayu, her mother is Mayu."
Yes, for Mayu, having such a future is natural.
But I still received an unimaginable impact because of the fact that since I have children, that is to say, I have a marriage partner.
Then the possibility of marrying me is almost non-existent. If you want to say why, I will die in 2025.
Um?
Wait a moment?
If the child is 10 years old in 2036, the birthday must be verified carefully, but it is barely possible for me to die, right?
No, it won't.
Just like yourself and Tongzi?
"Wait a minute, since the girl is the blind spot, Shiina?"
"Beng is an orphan, and sister Mayu took her in."
"This is indeed like Mayu's style."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt a double sense of relief and a little guilt.
Even if that guy is happy in the future, this is obviously a happy thing.
"I accept Sister Mayu's support and care for the camp, so it's not okay to be like this."
"That child has been clinging to Sister Mayu before, but now he doesn't know anyone."
"Then why did the child get separated? Did he just say he was in trouble?" Lin Xiao said.
If the author was only 10 years old and came to an unknown era with a time machine, Lingyu would be the only one he could rely on.
It shouldn't be possible to leave alone.
"I don't know, but jumping back to the past camp makes me mentally unstable."
So that's the case, it's not impossible.
A girl who was only 10 years old was taken to an unknown world.
"Do you have any photos?" Tongzi said.
In the photo Lingyu gave, there are two women.
One is mature, probably Zhenyu twenty years from now.
The other girl looked timid, as if she wanted to hide in Mayu's shadow.
"Has this child grown to be 22 years old? It's a bit hard to imagine."
Of course, the premise is that you are still alive.
No matter how peaceful and safe Neon is, it is too harsh for such a young child to live alone.
If she's lucky, she might be protected and taken to an orphanage, if not.
Ling Yu also considered this possibility, she couldn't say it.
"Lin Xiao, please do me a favor."
"After all, she is Mayu's adopted daughter. In that case, I would also like to find her."
"But Ling Yujue, is that okay? I'll help."
Lingyu must have despised himself, the one who gave up the opportunity to save the world.
Wouldn't it be great if someone like you came to help?
"Uncle, if you don't mind."
"In that case, I will help."
Of course this is not seen as atonement.
"What did you guys say?"
Everyone looked at Mayu at this extremely close distance.
"Lin Xiao, I'm really here, hello." Mayu said.
"What's wrong."
Seeing Mayu, Lin Xiao finally felt at ease.
"That's great, Mayu."
My little hands can actually feel the body temperature, and they are still alive.
"Lin Xiao?"
"Sorry." Lin Xiao said.
"It's okay, I'm not annoying, so it doesn't matter."
"Sister Mayu, when did you come?" Lingyu said.
"Well, I just came here just now."
I miscalculated and was too focused to notice the truth.
"I hear what you are saying, what is it?" Mayu said.
"This." Tongzi said.
What's not good is that although Mayu knew that Lingyu came from the future, suddenly hearing about her daughter from the future didn't look good no matter how she looked at it.
"I heard you wrong."
"Ah, yes, Mayu is so cute today." Kiriko said.
"Ah, I'm often told that, even though I want to be like Yuki."
"Maybe I just ate a little too much."
"Hey hey hey."
I didn't praise you, but I finally got over it.
'By the way, speaking of food, Lin Xiao, what do you want to eat on Christmas?'
"Christmas, are you talking about the party?" Lin Xiao said.
"Yeah." Mayu nodded.
"Nothing too demanding, just eat whatever you want." Lin Xiao said.
"Is there a Christmas queue?"
"Is this the first time I've seen Miss Ling?"
"Because we don't have time to hold parties at this time."
"But it seems that one time my dad got some delicious roast chicken from nowhere."
"Then Mayu said she had to take care of it herself."
Lingyu said as if she was nostalgic for the past: "Although the food is only slightly more delicious than usual, I am very happy."
