Chapter 155: The Truth of the Time Leap

Chapter 155: The Truth of the Time Leap

I was once again in that dreama space that felt like drifting in the universe.

As if underwater, I had a sensation of my body slowly rising from the ocean floor to the surface.

But I could only barely perceive that much; I couldnt tell if I was awake or asleep, standing or sitting.

The name Niihama Shinichirou was so vague that I could hardly recall it even after some thought.

(I wonder whats going to happen to me)

I pondered it hazily. Right now, I was in an extremely unstable state, where everything was unclear.

(Haruka)

In my current state, which was beyond human understanding, I could only think of one girl.

Did I really accomplish what I was supposed to do? Did I prevent the disaster that loomed over the adult Haruka, and save the high schooler Haruka from her negative time leap?

(No, calling it a negative time leap isnt accurate. That was an influx of memories that belonged to the Haruka who suffered mental breakdown in the future of the first world into the high schooler Haruka, a one-sided phenomenon. Its more like a time influx. Its completely different from a time leap like mine, where my memories and intentions from the future were inherited and fused)

As I murmured to myself, I suddenly realized.

Where I was floating right now seemed to be a rather high degree of science fictiona space akin to the Akashic records, where I had access to knowledge that should be unknowable.

(Ah, I see. So thats how it is)

In the midst of my vague existence, I continued to acquire knowledge that I shouldnt be able to know.

Why did I, of all people, get this miracle called time leap?

(There isnt anyone who has the power to time leap me twice an entity with god-like powers)

In conclusion, there wasnt anyone like that.

A time leap is just an adjustment carried out by the world system.

It was quite astonishing, but in this world, there is a power, a kind of fate power, if you will, that allows living beings to bring about a better future.

This is not about luck happening frequently; it is a power that can bring the desired future closer through strong wishes.

(Time leap was something I knew about, but this world is more fantastical than I imagined well, even so, its not easy for it to interfere with reality, so its almost meaningless unless you have exceptionally strong destiny, I guess)

My destiny power was slightly below average, and it seemed I was born under the star of an ordinary person how sad.

Nevertheless, except for me, people usually have that kind of thing, which isnt accessible to miracles.

However, very rarely, someone with a fate power so extraordinary that they could only be described as being loved by the heavens would appear.

The power of wish fulfillment that breaks through all difficulties, who can be described as a reliable ally or savior when they appear in a pinch.

Surprisingly, good miracles dont often manifest in the form of flashy supernatural phenomena; they often appear in a practical way, like calling on a highly competent ally or savior.

Actually, the president Tokimune talked about the savior story when working part-time its about that sort of thing.

Only a direct descendant of the Shijouin family could have a family so desperate and on the brink, and a person with the power of destiny might appear and save the family.

It was like trying to overwrite data with bugs with a revised version of the data, but the data with bugs refused to be overwritten and caused an error.

(As a result the first world and the second world, which couldnt become one, completely split. In this state, even if the second worlds Haruka was saved, the first worlds Haruka would still face destruction)

Fate, realizing this situation, seemed to be at a loss because it hadnt been able to carry out the task it had set for itself. So, it resorted to a terribly rough method.

In other words, it planned to send me, who had successfully altered Harukas past, to the first world, and have me save the Haruka of the first world.

The procedure was as follows.

First, I would send memories related to the mental breakdown of the first world to the high schooler Haruka, pushing her into a state of pseudo-mental breakdown.

It was already incorporated that I would realize that the only way to resolve this was to save the adult Haruka of the first world.

Then, I would give myself a strong motive to save the first world and time leap.

I vaguely realized it too, but fate didnt respond to my prayers; everything was set up from the beginning.

(Really, fate is just like a black company boss, using me without any explanation. Moreover, not only did it go according to its plan, but whether I could save the adult Haruka was quite a gamble)

Complaining to fate, which was beyond human understanding, was pointless, but it left a strong impression of being a crappy system that would resort to tactics like taking the high schooler Haruka as a hostage, and despite seeing through time and space, the plan was sloppy.

(Well it doesnt matter now. If both Harukas ultimately avoided ruin, theres nothing better than that)

That was the only thing that was most important to me.

I want Haruka to smile.

I want Haruka to be happy.

If a modest but warm future, just as she wished for, comes to passthen, I dont care how many times Im time leaped and used up.

Or perhapsperhaps this heavy feeling is the qualification to save Haruka, I thought with a wry smile.

(Well I wonder what will happen to me)

That much, even with the knowledge I gained in this place, I didnt know.

Where will I, who have completed all my tasks, go?

Or will I be deemed no longer needed and disappear like this?

(Well, if I can return to that world where I had my youth revenge)

If I can go back to that place where the most precious person to me exists

Now that everything is over

When I thought about that, my consciousness suddenly became muddled and my self-definition became even more ambiguous.

The moment I realized that the time to stay in this space had ended

The existence called me vanished from that place.

TLN: This was a bit of a ham-fisted way to explain your setting, Author. Ill allow it because the story is about the romance not the world but do better next time!
