Chapter 382 Akihabara in a New World Line
Chapter 382 Akihabara in a New World Line
After school in the afternoon, Xue originally planned to go directly to the practice room with Xiao Mo, but when the tram passed Chiyoda, a new memory suddenly emerged in Xue's mind.
That was the memory from another parallel world line in the main world. It was obvious that someone had interfered too much with the past and created a new present.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?"
Seeing Xue suddenly freeze in place, Xiao Mo beside her couldn't help but feel a little worried. Did something happen again?
"No, it's nothing."
At the same time Xue spoke, her real body had quietly left the world line where she originally lived and headed for the newly born world line.
"...?"
Arriving at the newly created world line, Xue looked at the high-end residential area in Akihabara with a puzzled look on her face.
No, where is my otaku paradise? How come it disappeared in this world line?
"Ok?"
Looking at Le Ye, who walked out of a game store not far away with a distraught look on his face, Xue seemed to understand something.
"Sister Le Ye."
Hearing someone calling him, Le Ye raised his head listlessly.
"Xiaoxue...?"
“…I’m the Xiaoxue you know, Sister Le Ye.”
"!?"
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Le Ye's originally dull eyes. The cousin in front of him was the one from the original world line!?
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, do you know what's going on? Akihabara, the otakus' Akihabara, has disappeared!"
Le Ye's emotions became extremely agitated. Everything she remembered and was familiar with disappeared. All this was because she had worked with everyone at "Alcohol Soft" in the past to create a game called "The Last Waltz"...
"Sister Le Ye, calm down. In fact, the Akihabara you are familiar with has not disappeared."
"Eh?"
Le Ye was stunned. If he didn't disappear, what was the situation now?
"Actually... Sister Le Ye, you have been blacklisted by the original world line."
"what?"
Le Ye was shocked. He was rejected by the world he was born into!?
"It's simple. Because you, or rather, the influence you all had on the original world was too great, the original world simply kicked you, the instigator, out."
"Why is this happening..." Le Ye bent forward in frustration, tears streaming down his face.
"No problem. I'm here this time to help Sister Le Ye return to your original world in a reasonable way."
Le Ye looked at Xue with tears in her eyes.
"Is there really a way?"
"Yes, there is, but it's difficult to change the past within a reasonable range without changing the original present."
"Um...Xiaoxue, what do you mean by this?"
Stupid Le Ye looked confused, it was obvious that she didn't understand.
"...To put it simply, it's about ensuring Alcohol Soft survives while ensuring Akihabara remains the same as you remember it. That way, the timeline will automatically close, and you'll be able to return to your original timeline."
"Is this so..."
Le Ye blinked his eyes. Is it really possible to change the past without changing the present?
"That's right. Anyway, let's go to the old Alcohol Soft site and take a look. After all, that's where all this is coming from."
"Ah."
The two sisters went to the old location of "Alcohol Soft" and...
"..."
I saw that the original company building was surrounded tightly, and a conspicuous demolition project notice was quietly posted there.
"how so…"
Le Ye stared blankly at everything in front of him, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Xue Wuyan sighed softly, then looked at a car that was clearly heading towards the two of them.
The car stopped beside the two of them, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses got out from the right driver's seat.
Xue and the middle-aged man looked at each other.
"You are…?"
"Tennoji Yuki, you are Mr. Mamoru Rokuda from Alcohol Soft, the company where Sister Leye used to work?"
"...Are you the Space-Time Maintainer that Le Ye and everyone else are talking about?"
The middle-aged uncle Rokuda Mamoru also realized Xue's identity.
"Yes."
“…I understand. Let’s get in the car with Le Ye.”
Rokuda-sama immediately understood why Xue came here.
……
While the car was moving, Xue sat in the back seat, quietly watching Le Ye who was crying in the left passenger seat.
"How long are you going to cry?"
Listening to Le Ye's non-stop crying beside him, Liu Tianshou felt helpless.
"But... this is all Le Ye's fault, right?"
Le Ye is still in deep self-blame at this moment. She takes all the responsibility of changing the world line on herself.
"None of the games Le Ye knows about have been made, because the games we made have caused history to be changed!"
"Akihabara and the beautiful girl are all gone!"
Le Ye cried even louder.
“You’re only talking about this now…”
Rokuda Mamoru became more and more helpless and tried to comfort Le Ye.
“Thanks to your game, Alcohol Soft is still alive.”
“Not only that, but it was incredibly successful, and Akihabara flourished.”
"Isn't this a good thing?"
As a person in this new world line, Rokuda Mamoru doesn't quite understand why Le Ye is so sad.
"Because the high-end residential area in this world line is different from the otaku holy land we remember, Mr. Rokuta Mamoru."
As an active CV, Xue understands Le Ye's feelings at this moment very well. After all, Akihabara is also a place that carries many of her memories.
"After all, the Akihabara we remember is the place that brings happiness and satisfaction to fans and otakus, not the cold, high-end residential area it is today."
"..."
Rokuta Mamoru was silent. Although he had never been to Akihabara in the so-called original world line, he could feel the deep obsession from Le Ye and Xue - it was an important part of their memory and even their life.
Xue sighed softly, turned on her phone and looked at Le Ye who was still crying.
The next second, the music on the phone sounded along with Xue's singing.
Hearing this familiar song, Le Ye was subconsciously stunned.
"!?"
Rokuda Mori, who was sitting in the driver's seat, showed a slightly surprised expression. Isn't this the song from the future that he heard from Le Ye more than 20 years ago?
As the song "Conekto" ended, Le Ye completely forgot about crying, but her eyes were still a little red.
"Are you feeling better, Sister Le Ye?"
"Um…"
Le Ye nodded slightly. His cousin’s singing was still as beautiful as ever... She really deserved to be the original singer.
"This song... Miss Tennoji, are you..."
Rokuda Mamoru also realized something.
"Yes, I am the lyricist and the original singer of this song."
"That's it..."
Rokuda Mamoru responded, an idea quietly emerging in his mind.
