"Are you okay, did you get hurt…"
Little Saiki sat to the side with a bad expression, looking at Hitori concernedly asking.
Seeing Saiki injured to save her yet still caring about others, Gotoh Hitori felt even more guilty inside.
"I… I'm fine, but you…"
Gotoh Hitori's eyes welled with tears, trying hard not to cry.
"It's fine, I… cough cough"
Little Saiki suddenly looked unwell, coughed a few times, Gotoh Hitori immediately stood up, planning to go find the teacher.
"Wait, I'll go call the teacher."
"No! You can't!"
Little Saiki reached out and grabbed Gotoh Hitori.
Gotoh Hitori after being grabbed looked worriedly at Little Saiki, only to see Little Saiki force out a strained smile.
"Can't tell the teacher, I'm fine, just need rest, if you tell the teacher they'll definitely tell my parents, I don't want them to know."
"Sorry, really really sorry!"
Gotoh Hitori couldn't hold back anymore, tears burst out, knelt beside Saiki wiping her tears.
Little Saiki reached out and placed his hand on Gotoh Hitori's little head to comfort her.
"It's fine, now you won't avoid me anymore right!"
Gotoh Hitori lowered her head mumbling.
"Ugh~ W-Why are you so nice to me!"
Little Saiki said with a sincere face: "Of course it's because I want to be friends with you!"
"Today I saw you alone in the classroom with no one talking to you, you looked especially lonely, I thought you probably aren't good at getting along with others."
Little Saiki spoke as if entering a recollection.
"And you look really familiar to me, very much like a friend I had before, though he's no longer here, a long time ago because when he was most lonely I wasn't there, later missed the chance, now I don't want to see others like that, so can you be my friend?"
"C-Can I?"
Little Saiki: "Of course."
"Thank you."
Gotoh Hitori was too excited, suddenly hugged the "injured" Little Saiki.
"Oh!"
Hearing the sound, Gotoh Hitori quickly reacted, looking at Little Saiki with his hand on his chest.
"S-Sorry are you okay, or maybe we should still tell the teacher!"
"It's fine…"
Little Saiki rubbed his chest: "Just my chest hurts a bit."
Gotoh Hitori extended her little hand to gently rub for Saiki: "Like this okay?"
Little Saiki froze for a moment, then immediately reacted: "The left side feels a bit uncomfortable."
Gotoh Hitori immediately switched to the left: "How about now?"
"Below feels a bit uncomfortable!"
"Like this?"
"A bit up there…"
"Like this!"
"Right."
Watching Gotoh Hitori seriously massaging him, Little Saiki lightly turned his head, showing a smug smile.
(I knew you were doing it on purpose!)
Saiki watching from afar really couldn't bear to look at "himself"'s moves, simply making even Saiki himself feel inferior.
(Enough, can't watch anymore, no wonder my childhood memories are so few, definitely deliberately sealed by me.)
Saiki looking at his childhood actions, the impressions in his mind slowly came back.
Yes, Saiki remembered, he really was like this back then.
And Saiki also remembered, his x-ray vision awakened during kindergarten.
However after awakening x-ray vision, he no longer had that idea of raising a childhood bride, just treated Hitori as a good friend.
Saiki from afar watched his kindergarten "self" show a smile he could never show now.
(I finally remembered, why when I met Hitori in middle school there was no impression, I remember it wasn't long after, because of the rock-paper-scissors incident I transferred schools.)
...
Saiki finally looked back once, sighed, walked forward a few steps and raised his hand.
Pushed forward, space shattered again, colorful cracks appeared again, Saiki walked in.
"…"
Saiki soon came out.
This time still on the rooftop, but this time no Tokyo Skytree in sight.
[Let's see if this is my world.]
Saiki came down to the ground, walking until he reached a park, stopped.
Saiki was extremely extremely extremely familiar with this park, basically everyone he knows in class now has met here, and every time coming to this park he runs into someone familiar.
Saiki skillfully used telekinesis, pulled a newspaper from the trash can to look.
[2013… I'm back?]
Saiki thought for a while, folded the newspaper preparing to throw it away, but saw a purple figure ahead.
Ahead of Saiki, a girl about 15-16 with long wavy purple hair and purple eyes came walking, wearing a white dress, exposing fair arms, a bit of baby fat on her face, but her features still very clear, looked very obedient.
[Kubo-san!]
Yes, coming was Kubo Nagisa, now on holiday so wearing casual clothes.
Saiki's face full of surprise, unconsciously showing a hint of smile.
[Seems I returned to the original world, this is the first time I feel excited seeing Kubo-san.]
But strangely, Kubo Nagisa treated Saiki like a passerby, brushed past him, heading toward the convenience store.
Saiki (๑°⌓°๑)
[No way?]
Saiki chased up and blocked in front of Kubo Nagisa.
[Kubo-san? It's you right?]
Kubo Nagisa froze for a moment, looked at Saiki in front, expression a bit puzzled.
Suddenly her mind went "ding", a bit awkwardly scratched her head.
"Uh, yes it's me."
[It's you… but no, if it was normal Kubo-san.]
In Saiki's impression, if meeting Kubo Nagisa on holidays or weekends.
She would show her usual mysterious smile and come close: "Saiki-kun, what a coincidence, didn't expect to meet even on holiday, could this be fate's coincidence?"
But current Kubo Nagisa seemed a bit unfamiliar, making Saiki actually feel a trace of discomfort.
"Um…"
Kubo Nagisa waved her hand in front of the dazed Saiki: "Sorry classmate, I think I don't know you!"
(As expected.)
Saiki's eyes narrowed slightly, sensed something wrong.
Just then a faintly visible figure passed by nearby, Saiki saw it, grabbed and pulled over.
[Shiraishi, you don't recognize me either?]
"Eh? (((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o)))"
Shiraishi suddenly pulled over in the middle of the road, now completely dumbfounded.
He originally came to the convenience store to buy something, by the way test if the automatic door worked on him.
But on the way saw two people in the middle discussing something, didn't want to disturb, walked by the side, didn't expect to get grabbed.
Kubo Nagisa put her hands behind her back, looked at Shiraishi puzzled: "Shiraishi-kun, do you know this person?"
Shiraishi calmly looked at Saiki, thought and thought, suddenly a black-haired, black-eyed man with a strange hair accessory on his head popped into his mind.
Then clapped his hands in realization, pointed at Saiki answering.
"You're Akatora-kun, right?"
[I don't know who you're talking about, and that guy in your head doesn't look like me at all okay?]
"…"
